Daniela 9
1 Tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Dariosa, zanak’ i Ahasoerosy, avy amin’ ny taranaky ny Mediana, izay nampanjakaina tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Kaldeana,
It was the first year of Darius the Mede, son of Ahasuerus, after he had become king of the Babylonians.
2 tamin’ ny taona voalodany nanjakany, izaho Daniela nahalala tamin’ ny boky ny isan’ ny taona nampahafantarin’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah an’ i Jeremia mpaminany, izay hahataperan’ ny fito-polo taona amin’ ny hahafoanan’ i Jerosalema.
During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures as given to the prophet Jeremiah that the time of seventy years for Jerusalem to lie desolate would soon be fulfilled.
3 Ary nampanatrehiko an’ Andriamanitra Tompo ny tavako hitady izay hivavahana sy hifonana amin’ ny fifadian-kanina ny lamba fisaonana ary ny lavenona.
So I turned to the Lord God in prayer. I fasted and wore sackcloth and ashes, and I pleaded with him in prayer to act.
4 Ary nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho ka nitsotra hoe: Indrisy! Tompo ô, Andriamanitra lehibe sy mahatahotra, mitandrina ny fanekena sy ny famindram-po ho amin’ izay tia Azy sy mitandrina ny didiny,
I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, saying, “Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always keep your promises and show your trustworthy love to those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 efa nanota izahay sady nanao meloka ary nanao ratsy sy niodina, eny, efa niala tamin’ ny didinao sy ny fitsipikao izahay,
But we have sinned, we have done wrong. We have acted wickedly, we have rebelled against you. We have turned away from your commandments and your laws.
6 ary tsy nohenoinay ny mpaminany mpanomponao, izay niteny tamin’ ny anaranao tamin’ ny mpanjakanay sy ny mpanapaka anay sy ny razanay ary ny vahoaka rehetra.
We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings and leaders and forefathers, and to everybody in the country.
7 Anao ny fahamarinana, Tompo ô, fa anay kosa ny fangaihaizana, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, dia an’ ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema ary ny Isiraely rehetra, na ny akaiky na ny lavitra, dia any amin’ ny tany rehetra izay efa nandroahanao azy noho ny fahadisoany izay nandisoany taminao;
Lord, you always do what is right, but we continue to be ashamed to this very day—we the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those nearby and those far away, those of every country where you have driven them because of their unfaithfulness to you.
8 eny, anay ny fangaihaizana, Tompo ô, dia an’ ny mpanjakanay sy ny mpanapaka anay ary ny razanay, satria efa nanota taminao izahay.
Public shame is ours Lord, and on our kings and princes and forefathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 An’ ny Tompo Andriamanitray kosa ny famindram-po sy ny famelan-keloka, satria efa niodina taminy izahay
Yet you, the Lord our God, are compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against you.
10 ka tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray, mba handeha araka ny lalàny izay nasainy napetraky ny mpaminany mpanompony teo anoloanay.
We have not obeyed what you, the Lord God, have told us. We have not followed your law that you gave us through your servants the prophets.
11 Eny, ny Isiraely rehetra efa nandika ny lalànao ka niala, fa tsy nihaino ny feonao, ka dia naidina taminay ny ozona sy ny fianianana izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, satria efa nanota taminy izahay.
The whole of Israel has broken your law and turned away from you, not listening to what you had to say. That's why the condemnation that comes from our broken promise has been poured out on us—because of our sin, as made clear in the Law of Moses, the servant of the Lord.
12 Ary notanterahiny ny teniny, izay nolazainy hamelezana anay sy ny mpitsaranay izay nitsara anay, ka nataony niharan-doza lehibe izahay, fa tetỳ ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra dia tsy mbola nisy natao tahaka izay natao tany Jerosalema.
You have carried out what you warned us about, against us and against our rulers—such a terrible punishment brought upon Jerusalem, the worst that has ever happened in the whole world.
13 Araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy no nahatongavan’ izao loza rehetra izao taminay; nefa tsy nifona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay hialanay amin’ ny helokay sy hahafantaranay ny fahamarinanao.
Just as the Law of Moses said, all this punishment has fallen on us, but we still have not asked you, the Lord our God, to be favorable to us, turning away from our sins and paying attention to your truth.
14 Koa izany no nitehirizan’ i Jehovah ny loza, ka nataony mihatra aminay, fa marina Jehovah Andriamanitray amin’ ny asany rehetra izay efa nataony; fa izahay no tsy nihaino ny feony.
You were ready to punish us, and you were right to do everything you have done, for we didn't listen to you.
15 Koa ankehitriny, Tompo Andriamanitray ô, Izay nitondra ny olonao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta tamin’ ny tanana mahery ka nanao anarana ho Anao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, efa nanota izahay, efa nanao ratsy izahay.
You, our Lord God, by your great power brought us out of Egypt, making a name for yourself that lasts even until now. But we have sinned, we have done wicked things.
16 Tompo ô, mifona aminao aho, araka ny fahamarinanao rehetra, aoka re hionona ny fahatezeranao sy ny fahaviniranao amin’ i Jerosalema tanànanao, tendrombohitrao masìna, fa ny helokay sy ny fahotan’ ny razanay no nahatonga an’ i Jerosalema sy ny olonao ho latsa amin’ izay rehetra manodidina anay.
So Lord, because you are so good, please turn away from your anger and fury against Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Because of our sins and those of our forefathers, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
17 Fa ankehitriny, ry Andriamanitray ô, henoy ny fivavaky ny mpanomponao sy ny fifonany, ary ampamirapirato ny tavanao amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna izay efa foana, satria Tompo Hianao.
Now, our Lord, please listen to the prayer and pleading of your servant, and for your own sake look kindly on your abandoned sanctuary.
18 Andriamanitra ô, atongilano ny sofinao, ka mihainoa; ahirato ny masonao, ka jereo ny fahafoananay sy ny tanàna izay nantsoina amin’ ny anaranao; fa tsy amin’ ny fahamarinanay no andoaranay ny fifonanay eto anatrehanao, fa amin’ ny halehiben’ ny indrafonao.
Please listen carefully and open your eyes and see the terrible state we are in, and the city that bears your name. We're not making these requests to you for this because of our goodness, but because of your great mercy.
19 Tompo ô, mandrenesa, Tompo ô, mamelà heloka; Tompo ô, mihainoa, ka miasà; aza ela Hianao, ry Andriamanitro ô noho ny aminao; fa ny tanànanao sy ny olonao dia nantsoina amin’ ny anaranao.
Lord, please listen! Lord, please forgive! Please pay attention and do something! For your own sake, my God, don't delay, for your city and your people are identified by your name.”
20 Ary raha mbola niteny sy nivavaka sy niaiky ny fahotako mbamin’ ny fahotan’ ny Isiraely fireneko aho ka nandoatra ny fifonako teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro ho an’ ny tendrombohitra masin’ Andriamanitro,
I continued speaking, praying and confessing my sins and those of my people Israel, pleading before the Lord my God on behalf of Jerusalem, his holy mountain.
21 eny, raha mbola niteny nivavaka aho, dia, indro, ilay lehilahy Gabriela izay hitako tamin’ ny fahitana voalohany, dia nampanidinina faingana ka nanatona ahy tokony ho tamin’ ny fotoan’ ny fanatitra hariva.
While I was still praying, Gabriel, whom I'd seen previously when I'd had the vision, came flying rapidly towards me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Ary izy nampahalala ahy sy niresaka tamiko ka nanao hoe: Ry Daniela ô, avy hampahazava saina anao aho.
He gave me the following explanation, saying, “Daniel, I've come to give you insight and understanding.
23 Tamin’ ny niantombohan’ ny fivavakao dia nisy teny nivoaka, ka dia tonga hanambara aminao aho, satria malala indrindra ianao; koa diniho ny teny, ary aoka ho fantatrao ny fahitana.
As soon as you started praying, the answer was given, and I have come to explain it to you because God loves you very much. So please listen to the explanation and understand the meaning of the vision.
24 Fito-polo herinandro no voatendry ho an’ ny firenenao sy ny tanànanao masìna, hahatapaka ny fahadisoana sy hanampina ny fahotana, ary hanao fanavotana noho ny heloka sy hampiditra fahamarinana mandrakizay, ary hanisy tombo-kase ny fahitana sy ny faminaniana sy hanosotra izay masìna indrindra.
Seventy weeks has been allotted to your people and your holy city to deal with the rebellion, to put an end to sin, to forgive wrongdoing, to bring in everlasting goodness, to confirm the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
25 Koa aoka ho fantatrao sy ho azonao fa hatramin’ ny hivoahan’ ny didy hanavaozana sy hanamboarana an’ i Jerosalema ka hatramin’ i Mesia Andriana dia ho fito herinandro sy roa amby enim-polo herinandro; hamboarina indray ny lalana sy ny hady, dia amin’ izay andro mampahory.
You need to know and understand that from the time the command is given to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks will elapse. It will be built with streets and defenses, in spite of the difficult times.
26 Ary rehefa afaka ny roa amby enim-polo herinandro, dia hovonoina ny Mesia ka tsy hanana; ary ny vahoaky ny mpanjaka izay ho avy dia handrava ny tanana sy ny fitoerana masìna; ary ny farany dia hisy safotra, ary hatramin’ ny farany dia hisy ady sy fandravana voatendry.
After sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be put to death, and will be brought to nothing. A ruler will come to power whose army will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come like a flood. War and devastation will continue until that period of time is completed.
27 Ary hanorina fanekena ho herinandro amin’ ny maro izy ary hampitsahatra ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hafa hatramin’ ny antsasaky ny herinandro, ary amin’ ny elatry ny fahavetavetana no nihavian’ ny mpandrava, hatramin’ ny fahafonganana voatendry, izay haidina amin’ ny mpandrava.
He will confirm the agreement with many people for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings. The idolatry that causes devastation will be supported until the end when the same fate is poured out on the one who devastates.”
