Daniele 9
1 Na mobu ya liboso ya Dariusi, mwana mobali ya Kizerisesi, moko kati na bakitani ya bato ya Medi, oyo akomaki mokonzi ya mokili ya bato ya Babiloni;
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 na mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi na ye, ngai, Daniele, nasosolaki, na nzela ya mikanda, kolanda liloba oyo Yawe apesaki na mosakoli Jeremi, ete kobebisama ya engumba Yelusalemi esengeli kosala mibu tuku sambo.
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 Boye, nabalolaki elongi na ngai epai na Nkolo Nzambe mpo na kosambela mpe kobondela Ye, na kokila bilei, na kolata basaki mpe na komipakola putulu.
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 Nasambelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpe natubelaki: « Nkolo, Nzambe monene mpe Nzambe ya nguya, Yo oyo obatelaka boyokani na Yo ya bolingo, elongo na bato nyonso oyo balingaka Yo mpe batosaka mibeko na Yo;
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 solo, tosalaki masumu mpe mabe na miso na Yo, totambolaki lokola bato mabe mpe batomboki, topesaki mibeko mpe mitindo na Yo mokongo.
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 Toyokelaki te basali na Yo, basakoli, oyo balobaki na Kombo na Yo epai ya bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso, bakoko na biso mpe epai ya bato nyonso ya mokili.
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 Nkolo, ozali sembo; kasi biso, lelo, tolatisami na soni: bato ya Yuda, bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele, ezala ba-oyo bazali pembeni to ba-oyo bazali mosika, kati na mikili nyonso epai wapi opanzaki biso mpo ete tozangaki boyengebene liboso na Yo!
“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 Yawe, biso, bakonzi na biso, bakambi na biso mpe bakoko na biso, tolatisami na soni mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Kasi Yo Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, otonda na mawa mpe olimbisaka, atako biso, totombokelaki Yo.
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 Totosaki te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, to tobatelaki te mibeko oyo opesaki biso na nzela ya basali na Yo, basakoli.
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 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele babukaki Mobeko na Yo, bapesaki yango mokongo mpe baboyaki kotosa Yo. Mpo na yango, bilakeli mabe mpe bitumbu oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, esopanelaki biso, mpo ete tosalaki masumu liboso na Yo.
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 Wana otindeli biso pasi makasi oyo, okokisi penza maloba oyo olobaki mpo na kotelemela biso mpe bakambi na biso; mpe pasi oyo ekweyeli Yelusalemi etikala nanu kosalema te kati na mokili mobimba.
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 Kolanda ndenge kaka ekomama kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, pasi yango nyonso ekomeli biso; mpe tobondelaki te Yawe, Nzambe na biso; totikaki te kosala masumu mpe tomipesaki te mpo na kososola bosolo na Yo.
As it is written in the Torah of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.
14 Yango wana, Yawe, olandeli pasi yango kino okweyiseli biso yango; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ozali sembo kati na misala na Yo nyonso; kasi biso, totosaki Yo te.
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 Sik’oyo, Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, Yo oyo obimisa bato na Yo na Ejipito na nzela ya loboko na Yo ya nguya mpe Kombo na Yo ekenda sango kino na mokolo ya lelo, tosalaki masumu, tosalaki mabe!
“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 Nkolo, nabondeli Yo, kolanda makambo nyonso oyo osalaka mpo na bosembo, kanda mpe kotomboka na Yo ezali kolongwa kati na engumba na Yo, Yelusalemi, ngomba na Yo ya bule! likolo ya masumu na biso mpe ya mabe ya bakoko na biso, Yelusalemi mpe bato na Yo bakomi eloko ya liseki na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazingeli biso.
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 Sik’oyo, Nzambe na biso, yoka losambo mpe mabondeli na ngai, mosali na Yo! Mpo na lokumu na Yo, Nkolo, tala na miso ya ngolu Esika na Yo ya bule oyo ebebi!
“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 Nzambe na ngai, defisa ngai litoyi na Yo mpe yoka ngai na bokebi! Fungola miso na Yo mpe mona kobebisama ya bisika na biso mpe ya engumba oyo mpo na bolamu na yango. Ngai, nazali kobelela Kombo na Yo! Ezali te mpo tozali sembo, kasi ezali nde mpo na mawa monene na Yo nde tozali kobondela Yo!
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 Nkolo, yoka! Nkolo, limbisa! Nkolo, yoka na bokebi! Sala, kowumela te, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo moko, Nzambe na ngai! Pamba te ngai, nazali kobelela Kombo na Yo mpo na bolamu ya engumba mpe ya bato na Yo! »
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 Wana nazalaki koloba mpe kosambela, kotubela masumu na ngai mpe ya bato na ngai, Isalaele, mpe kobondela Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na bolamu ya ngomba ya bule ya Nzambe na ngai;
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 wana nazalaki nanu koloba, kati na losambo, Gabrieli, moto oyo namonaki liboso kati na emoniseli, ayaki epai na ngai na lombangu, na tango ya makabo ya pokwa.
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 Apesaki ngai malako, alobaki: « Daniele, nayei sik’oyo mpo na kopesa yo bososoli mpe mayele.
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.
23 Tango kaka obandaki kobondela, liloba moko ebimaki; mpe ngai, nayei koyebisa yo yango, pamba te ozali molingami ya Nzambe. Yamba liloba mpe sosola emoniseli:
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 Eleko moko ya baposo tuku sambo ekatamaki mpo na bato na yo mpe mpo na engumba na yo ya bule, mpo na kosilisa botomboki liboso ya Nzambe mpe kosukisa masumu, mpo na kolimbisa masumu mpe kokokisa bosembo ya libela, mpo na kokangisa emoniseli mpe mosakoli, mpe mpo na kobulisa Mosantu ya basantu.
“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 Yeba mpe sosola makambo oyo: wuta tango lisakoli ya kobongisa mpe ya kotonga lisusu Yelusalemi ebimaki kino koya ya mokonzi, Ye oyo azwaki epakolami, ekosala baposo sambo mpe baposo tuku motoba na mibale. Engumba ekotongama lisusu elongo na nzela mpe bamir na yango oyo batonga makasi.
“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 Sima na baposo tuku motoba na mibale, bakoboma Ye oyo azwaki epakolami, atako asalaki na ye mabe ata moko te. Bato ya mokambi oyo azali koya bakobebisa engumba mpe Esika ya bule, mpe suka na yango ekoya lokola mpela; bongo kino suka ya bitumba ekoma, kobebisama ekozala mpo ete mokano na yango esili kozwama.
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 Na poso moko, akosala boyokani moko elenda elongo na bato ebele; kasi na kati-kati ya poso yango, akosukisa bambeka mpe makabo. Likolo ya kobomba makambo ya nkele, mobebisi moko akobima kino tango libebi oyo ekatama mpo na mobebisi ekokokisama. »
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.”
