Danyeri 9
1 Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogwa Daliyo mutabani wa Akaswero Omumeedi, gwe yaliiramu obwakabaka bwa Bakaludaaya,
In the first year of Daryavesh the son of Achashyerosh, of Median descent, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans—
2 mu mwaka ogwo ogw’olubereberye, nze Danyeri ne ntegeera amakulu ag’ebyawandiikibwa, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kiri kye yawa Yeremiya nnabbi, ng’okubonaabona kwa Yerusaalemi kulitwala emyaka nsanvu.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of the years about which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the completion of the desolation of Jerusalem, seventy years.
3 Awo ne nkyukira Mukama Katonda ne nnoonya okubeerwa okuva gyali nga nsaba era nga neegayirira, nga nsiiba era nga nyambadde ebibukutu nga neesiize evvu.
And I turned to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 Ne nsaba Mukama Katonda wange ne mwatulira nti, “Ayi Mukama omukulu era ow’entiisa, akuuma endagaano ye so n’okwagala kwo tekujjulukuka eri abo bonna abakwagala era abagondera ebiragiro byo,
I prayed to the LORD my God, and made this confession, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments.
5 twonoonye era tusobezza, tukoze eby’ekyejo n’eby’obujeemu, era
We have sinned, and have done what is wrong and wicked, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your commandments and from your ordinances.
6 tetwawuliriza baddu bo bannabbi, abaayogeranga mu linnya lyo eri bakabaka baffe, n’eri abalangira baffe, n’eri bajjajjaffe, n’eri abantu bonna ab’omu nsi.
Neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 “Mukama oli mutukuvu, naye olunaku lwa leero tuswadde, abantu ba Yuda, n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi, ne Isirayiri yenna, abali okumpi n’abali ewala mu nsi zonna gye wabawaŋŋangusiriza olw’obutaba beesigwa gy’oli.
Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us open shame, as at this day, 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 unfaithful deeds that they have committed against you.
8 Ayi Mukama, ffe ne bakabaka baffe, n’abalangira baffe, ne bajjajjaffe tuswadde kubanga twonoonye.
LORD, to us belongs open shame, to our kings, to our leaders, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Mukama Katonda waffe ajjudde okusaasira n’okusonyiwa, newaakubadde nga tumujeemedde,
To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 ne tutawuliriza ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda waffe, newaakubadde okukuuma amateeka ge, ge yatuwa ng’ayita mu baddu be bannabbi.
And have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Isirayiri yenna bamenye amateeka go ne bakuvaako, era bakujeemedde. “Noolwekyo ebikolimo n’ebirayiro ebyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa omuddu wa Mukama kyebivudde bitutuukako kubanga twayonoona mu maaso go.
Yes, all Israel has transgressed your law, and turned away, refusing to obey your voice. Therefore has the curse been poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.
12 Otuukirizza ebigambo bye watwogerako, n’eri abakulembeze baffe, bw’otuleeseeko akabi akanene; era wansi w’eggulu tewabangawo kintu kinene bwe kityo ekyakolebwa, ng’ekyo ekituuse ku Yerusaalemi.
He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing on us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven such has not been done as has been done on Jerusalem.
13 Nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa, bwe bityo ebisobyo byonna bwe byatutuukako, naye ate nga tetunneegayirira kisa kya Mukama Katonda waffe, okulekayo ebikolwa byaffe ebitali bya butuukirivu tusseeyo omwoyo okugoberera amazima.
As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us. Yet have we not tried to gain the favor of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in your truth.
14 Mukama kyeyava talwa kutuleetako buzibu obwo, kubanga Mukama Katonda waffe mutuukirivu mu buli ky’akola, naye tetugondedde ddoboozi lye.
Therefore has the LORD watched over the calamity, and brought it on us, for the LORD our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.
15 “Ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe eyaggya abantu bo mu nsi ey’e Misiri n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi ne weekolera erinnya, eryayatiikirira ne leero, twayonoona ne tukola ebitali bya butuukirivu.
"And now, Lord our God, who has brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have made a name for yourself, even to this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 Ayi Mukama, ng’obutuukirivu bwo bwonna bwe buli, obusungu bwo n’ekiruyi kyo obiggye ku kibuga kyo Yerusaalemi, olusozi lwo olutukuvu, kubanga olw’ebibi byaffe n’ebikolwa byaffe ebitali bya butuukirivu ebya bajjajjaffe, tufuuse eky’okusekererwa eri abatwetoolodde bonna.
Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and please let 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 “Kaakano, Ayi Katonda waffe, owulire okusaba n’okwegayirira kw’omuddu wo, olw’okusaasira kwo Ayi Mukama otunule eri ekifo kyo ekitukuvu.
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 Ayi Katonda wange, otege okutu kwo owulirize, otunuulire okuzika kw’ekibuga ekyatuumibwa erinnya lyo, kubanga tetuleeta byetaago byaffe eri ggwe olw’obutuukirivu bwaffe, wabula olw’okusaasira kwo okungi.
My God, turn your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and see our desolation, 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 mercy.
19 Ayi Mukama otuwulire! Ayi Mukama, otusonyiwe! Ayi Mukama otuwulire era obeeko ne ky’okolawo! Olw’okusaasira kwo, Ayi Katonda wange oleme okulwa, kubanga ekibuga kyo n’abantu bo n’eggwanga lyo bayitibwa Erinnya lyo.”
Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and take action. Do not delay, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name."
20 Awo bwe nnali nga njogera era nga nsaba, nga njatula ebibi byange n’ebibi by’abantu bange Isirayiri, nga neegayirira Mukama Katonda wange ku lw’olusozi lwe olutukuvu,
While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God,
21 awo mu kiseera ekyo nga nkyasaba, omusajja Gabulyeri, gwe nalaba mu kwolesebwa okwasooka, n’ajja gye ndi mu mbuyaga ey’amaanyi mu kiseera ekya ssaddaaka ey’akawungeezi.
while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came to me in my weariness about the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Danyeri, kaakano nzize okukuwa amagezi n’okutegeera.
He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, "Daniel, I have now come forth to give you wisdom and understanding.
23 Amangu nga waakatandika okusaba, okwegayirira kwo kwaddibwamu era nzize okukutegeeza, kubanga oli mwagalwa nnyo. Noolwekyo ssaayo omwoyo eri ekigambo kino, otegeere bye wayolesebwa.
At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.
24 “Wiiki nsavu ze ziweereddwa abantu bo n’ekibuga kyo ekitukuvu okukomya ebikolwa byabwe ebibi, n’okuleka ebibi, n’okutangiririrwa olw’ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu, n’okuleeta obutuukirivu obutaliggwaawo, n’okukakasa ebyo ebyayolesebwa n’ebyo ebyalangibwa, n’okufuka amafuta ku asinga obutukuvu.
Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to put an end to the transgression, and to make an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.
25 “Manya era tegeera ng’okuva ne kaakano ekiragiro nga bwe kiweereddwa ku kuzzibwawo kwa Yerusaalemi n’okutuusa ku kujja okw’omufuzi oyo eyafukibwako amafuta, waliba ebbanga lya wiiki musanvu. N’oluvannyuma kirizimbibwa mu wiiki nkaaga mu bbiri ne kiteekebwamu enguudo n’olusalosalo, newaakubadde nga biriba biro bya kutegana.
Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until the time of the Messiah, the Prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with open spaces and a moat, but in times of distress.
26 N’oluvannyuma lwa wiiki enkaaga mu ebbiri, eyafukibwako amafuta alisalibwako, era taliba na kintu. Abantu ab’omufuzi balijja ne bazikiriza ekibuga n’awatukuvu, n’enkomerero ye erijja ng’amataba, n’entalo era n’okuzika okwalagirwa biryeyongera okutuusa ku nkomerero.
After the sixty-two weeks the Messiah shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of a ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall come with a flood, and until the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.
27 Alikola endagaano enywevu n’abantu bangi okumala wiiki emu, naye wakati wa wiiki eyo aliggyawo emikolo gya ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo. Ne ku kiwaawaatiro eky’ebyemizizo kulijjirako oyo aleeta okubonaabona, okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero ekyalagirwa nga kituukiridde ku ye.”
He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who destroys, and even until a complete destruction, until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys."
