< Daniel 9 >

1 Darius mwet Mede, su wen natul Xerxes, el pa leumi tokosrai lun Babylonia.
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Kasdim—
2 In yac se oemeet in pacl el leum ah, nga lutlut ke book mutal uh, ac nunku na ke yac itngoul ma acn Jerusalem ac musalla uh, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel mwet palu Jeremiah.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
3 Ac nga arulana moniyukla in pre nu sin Leum God, ac kwafe nu sel, ac oru lalo luk, nukum nuknuk yohk eoa, ac muta in apat.
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 Nga pre nu sin LEUM GOD luk, ac fahkak nu sel ma koluk lun mwet luk. Nga fahk, “Leum God, kom fulatlana, ac kut akfulatye kom. Kom pwayena ke wuleang lom, ac akkalemye lungse kawil lom nu selos su lungse kom ac oru ma kom sapkin.
I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, “Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,
5 “Kut oru ma koluk, moul lasr arulana koluk, ac orekma lasr sesuwos. Kut tia oru ma kom sap kut in oru, ac forla liki ma kom akkalemye nu sesr mu ma pwaye.
we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances.
6 Kut tia porongo pusren mwet kulansap lom mwet palu, su kaskas ke Inem nu sin tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, mwet matu lasr somla, ac nu sin mutunfacl se inge nufon.
We haven’t listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 O Leum, kom oru na ma pwaye pacl e nukewa, a kut oru na ma su akmwekinye kut sifacna. Aok, yokna nu sesr su muta in Judea ac Jerusalem, ac nu sin mwet Israel nukewa su kom akfahsryelik in muta in acn apkuran ac acn loessula ke sripen elos tia inse pwaye nu sum.
“Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as it is today; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, oayapa mwet matu lasr su somla, elos oru na mwe akmwekin ac orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD.
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Kom pakoten ac ku na in nunak munas, kut finne likkeke nu sum.
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 Kut tiana porongekom, O LEUM GOD lasr, ke kom fahk mu kut in moul fal nu ke ma sap ma kom ase nu sesr sin mwet kulansap lom mwet palu.
We haven’t obeyed the LORD our God’s voice, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Israel nufon kunausla ma sap lom, ac tia lungse lohng ma kom fahk. Kut orekma koluk lain kom, pwanang kom ase mwe selnga nu facsr ma simla in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet kulansap lom.
Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that they should not obey your voice. “Therefore the curse and the oath written in the Torah of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, for we have sinned against him.
12 Kom oru oana ma kom tuh fahk mu kom ac oru nu sesr, ac nu sin mwet kol lasr. Kom sang kalya nu sin Jerusalem yohk liki siti nukewa saya fin faclu,
He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil; for under the whole sky, such has not been done as has been done to Jerusalem.
13 ac ase nu sesr kain in kaiyuk nukewa ma aketeyuki in Ma Sap lal Moses. A nwe ingena, O LEUM GOD lasr, kut tia pacna srike in akinsewowoye kom, in forla liki ma koluk lasr, ac fahsr tukun ma pwaye lom.
As it is written in the Torah of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.
14 Kom, O LEUM GOD lasr, tuh akola kom in kalyei kut, ac kom oru oana, mweyen kom oru na ma pwaye in pacl nukewa, a kut tia porongekom.
Therefore the LORD has watched over the evil, and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed his voice.
15 “O Leum God lasr, kom akkalemye ku lom ke kom use mwet lom liki acn Egypt, ac ku lom uh srakna esamyuk. Kut orekma koluk, ac oru ma sutuu.
“Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten yourself renown, as it is today, we have sinned. We have done wickedly.
16 Kom tuh loangekutla in pacl somla, ke ma inge nimet kom sruokyana toasr lom sin acn Jerusalem. Siti se inge ma lom, eol mutal sum. Mwet nukewa in facl atulani nu sesr elos oru acn Jerusalem ac mwet lom mwe aksruksruk ke sripen ma koluk lasr ac ouiya koluk su mwet matu lasr somla elos tuh oru.
Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.
17 O God, lohng pre luk ac mwe kwafe luk. Sifilpa folokonak Tempul lom su tuh kunausyukla. Sifilpa folokonak, tuh mwet nukewa fah etu lah kom God.
“Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
18 Porongekut, O God. Ngetma nu sesr, ac liye mwe ongoiya su oan facsr inge, ac keok lun siti se su us Inem. Kut pre nu sum mweyen kom pakoten, ac tia mweyen ma kut oru uh pwaye.
My God, turn your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by your name; for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies’ sake.
19 O Leum, porongekut. O Leum, nunak munas nu sesr. O Leum, lohng pre lasr, ac kasrekut! Ac kom in tia pahtlac, tuh mwet nukewa in etu lah kom God. Siti se inge ac mwet inge ma lom.”
Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and do. Don’t defer, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”
20 Nga tafwelana pre luk, ac fahkak ma koluk luk ac lun mwet luk Israel, ac kwafe sin LEUM GOD luk tuh Elan folokonak Tempul mutal lal.
While I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God—
21 Ke nga pre ah, Gabriel, su nga tuh liye pac in aruruma se meet ah, el sohkma ac tuhwi yen se ma nga tu we ah. Pacl se el sunyu inge pacl in orek kisa in eku ah.
yes, while I was speaking in prayer—the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening offering.
22 El fahk nu sik, “Daniel, nga tuku in sot nu sum lalmwetmet ac etauk.
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.
23 Ke kom tuh mutawauk in kwafe sin God, El tuh topuk kom. El lungse kom, na pa nga tuku in fahkot top lal ke kwafe lom an. Lohang nu ke ma nga ac fahk inge, ac nga fah aketeya aruruma sac.
At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision.
24 “Itkosr pacl itngoul yac pa lusen pacl se ma God El oakiya mu ac fah aksukosokyeyuk mwet lom ac siti mutal sac liki ma koluk ac ma fohkfok uh. Ma koluk uh ac fah tuleyukla, ac nununku suwohs ac fah oakwuki ma pahtpat, tuh aruruma sac ac kas in palu sac in fah akpwayeiyuk, ac Tempul mutal sac in fah sifil kisaiyukla.
“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
25 Esamya ma inge, ac kalem kac: Liki pacl se sapkinyuk in sifil musaiyuk Jerusalem ah nwe ke el su mosrweyukla ac tuku, yac itkosr pacl itkosr ac fah somla. Acn Jerusalem ac fah sifil musaiyukla, na ac oasr inkanek we ac kalkal kulana loangeyen siti uh, ac siti sac ac fah oanna nwe ke yac itkosr pacl onngoul luo somla, tusruktu in pacl se inge ac fah pus na mwe lokoalok.
“Know therefore and discern that from the going out of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times.
26 Ac ke safla pacl sac, na el su mosrweyukla inge ac fah anwuki ke wangin mwatal. Siti sac ac Tempul ac fah kunausyukla sin mwet mweun lun sie mwet kol na ku, su ac utyak mweuni ac sruokya. Pacl safla sac ac fah tuku oana sie sronot, ac use mweun ac kunausten su God El akoela uh.
After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.
27 Mwet leum sac ac fah oru sie wulela na ku nu sin mwet puspis ke yac itkosr, ac ke tafu yac itkosr inge ac somla uh, el ac fah kutongya kisa ac mwe sang in tia sifil orek. Mwe Aksangeng na Upa ac fah mau fili fin acn fulat ke Tempul uh, na ac oanna we nwe ke na mwet se ma filiya uh el sun safla se ma God El akoela nu sel.”
He will make a firm covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. On the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate; and even to the decreed full end, wrath will be poured out on the desolate.”
