Daniela 9
1 Amy taom-baloham-pifehea’ i Dariavese ana’ i Akrasehòse tarira’ o nte-Medaio, ie nanoeñe mpanjaka an-tane’ o nte-Kasdio;
[Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
2 amy taom-baloham-pifehea’ey, le nañotsohotso amo bokeo iraho, Daniele, ty ami’ty ia’ o taoñe tsinara’ Iehovà am’ Iiremeà mpitokio, ty haha-heneke ty fangoakoahañe Ierosalaime, le fito-polo taoñe.
During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
3 Aa le natoliko aman’ Añahare Talè ty tareheko, hipaiako an-tsoloho naho halaly, an-dilitse naho gony vaho lavenoke.
[After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
4 Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko, nisoloho ami’ty hoe: Ie henane zao ry Talè Andrianañahare jabahinake mañeva fañeveñañe, mpitàm-pañìna naho miferenaiñe amo mikoko Azo naho miambeñe o lili’oo;
I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
5 nandilatse zahay, nanao hakeo naho tahiñe, fa niola vaho nihànkañe amo fandilia’oo naho o fepè’oo.
But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
6 Tsy nihaoñe’ay o mpitoky mpitoro’oo, ie ami’ty tahina’o iereo te nisaontsy amo mpanjaka’aio naho amo mpifehe’aio naho amo roae’aio vaho amo hene’ ondaty i taneio.
Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
7 Ry Talè, Azo ty havantañañe, anay ty fisalaran-daharañe, manahake henanekeo; le am’ ondati’ Iehodào naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo vaho am’ Israele iaby, o marineo naho o tsietoitane añeo amo fonga tane nandroaha’o iareo ty amy lilatse nandilara’ iareoo.
Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
8 Ry Talè toe ama’ay ty fisalaran-daharañe, amo mpanjaka’aio naho amo mpifehe’aio, vaho amo roae’aio, ty amo ota-faly nanoe’ay ama’oo.
Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
9 Amy Talè Andrianañahare’ay ty fiferenaiñañe naho ty fampipohan-kakeo, fa niola zahay,
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 naho tsy nihaoñe’ay ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay hañaveloa’ay amo Tsara’e najado’e añatrefa’ay am-pitoky mpitoro’eo.
Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
11 Fonga nandilatse amy fetse’oy t’Israele, niamboho tsy nahajanjiñe ty fiarañanaña’o; izay ty nifetsaha’ i fatsey ama’ay naho i fanta sinokitse amy Tsara’ i Mosè, mpitoron’ Añaharey, ty amo haota-faly nanoe’ay ama’eo.
All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
12 Fa nampihenefe’e o tsara nitsarae’e ama’aio, naho amo mpizaka nifelek’ anaio, amo hankàñe nafetsa’e ama’aio; o le lia’ey tsy nanoeñe ambanen-dikerañe iabio le fa nanoeñe am’ Ierosalaime.
You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
13 Ie sinokitse amy Tsara’ i Mosèy ao, le nidaiñe ama’ay o hekoheko rezao, fa tsy pinai’ay ty lahara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay hiambohoa’ay o hakeo’aio, haharendreke ty hatò.
[You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
14 Aa le nampihitrife’ Iehovà i fandilovañey vaho nafetsa’e ama’ay; amy te vantañe amo fitoloñañe anoe’e iabio t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, zahay nañatola amy fiarañanaña’ey.
So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
15 Ie amy zao, ry Talè Andrianañahare’ay, Ihe nañakatse ondati’oo an-tane Mitsraime am-pitañe maozatse naho nahazoa’o tahinañe midodea, manahake henane zao; toe nandilatse zahay vaho nañota faly.
O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
16 Ry Talè, ty amo havañona’o iabio, ehe ampitoliho tsy homb’ an-drova’o Ierosalaime, vohi’o miavakey, ty haviñera’o naho ty fiforoforoa’o; amy te sirikae’ ondaty mañohok’ anaio t’Ierosalaime naho ondati’oo ty amo hakeo’aio naho o tahin-droae’aio.
Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
17 Ie amy zao, ry Andrianañahare’ay, janjiño ty halali’ i mpitoro’oy naho o fisolohoa’eo, vaho ampireandreaño ty lahara’o, ty ama’o, ry Talè, ty amy toe’o miavake nampangoakoaheñey.
O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
18 Ry Andrianañahareko, atokilaño ty ravembia’o le mijanjiña; sokafo o fihaino’oo vaho vazohò ty fangoakoaha’ay naho i rova tokaveñe ami’ty tahina’oy; toe tsy ty havañona’ay ty itaroña’ay halaly añatrefa’o, fa o fiferenaiña’o tsi-fotofotoo.
My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
19 Mijanjiña, ry Talè; mañahà hakeo, Rañandria; haoño vaho mitoloña ry Talè; ko mihànkañe, ry Andrianañahareko, ty amy tahina’oy, amy te kanjieñe ami’ty tahina’o i rova’oy naho ondati’oo.
Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
20 Ie nivolañe naho niloloke vaho nisoloho amo tahikoo naho amo hakeo’ ondatiko Israeleo, vaho nitaron-kalaly añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko ty amy vohi-masin’ Añaharekoy;
I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
21 aa ie mbe nivolañe am-pilolofañe, va’e amy fisoroñañe harivay, le nihela-pitiliñe amako t’i Gabriele nitendrek’ amako amy aroñaroñe valoha’ey vaho nañedre ahy.
While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
22 Nampandrendrehe’e naho nisaontsia’e ty hoe: Ry Daniele, nivotrake etoan-draho hampahafohiñ’ azo i aroñaroñey.
He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
23 Ie vaho nihalaly, le nahitrike i tsaray, le ingo te pok’ etoan-draho hañoke azo; fa vata’e kokoan-drehe; aa le fohino o tsarao naho rendreho o aroñaroñeo.
When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
24 Fa najadoñe am’ ondati’oo naho amy rova’o miavakey ty hereñandro fitompolo hampijihetse i fiolày, hampigadon-kakeo, hijebañañe o tahiñeo, hampizilike havantañañe tsy ho modo nainai’e, naho hanjitse ty aroñaroñe naho ty fitokiañe, vaho horizañe i Masiñe do’ey.
[God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
25 Mahafohina arè naho maharendreha t’ie hifototse ami’ ty fitseizañe i tsara hampipolieñe ondatio hamboatse Ierosalaimey, am-para’ i Mpifehe Tinendrey, le ho hereñandro fito naho hereñandro enempolo-ro’ amby, vaho hamboareñe indraike i damokey naho i kijoliy, an-tsam-poheke.
You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
26 Aa ie modo i hereñandro enem-polo-ro’amby rey le haitoañe tsy amam-panàñañe i Norizañey; le homb’eo ondati’ i mpifelekeio handrotsake i rovay naho i toetse miavakey; le hoe fisorotombahañe ty ho figadoña’e le fampangoakoahañe ty nalahatse am-para te heneke i aliy.
After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
27 Hanoe’e fañina mijadoñe amy màroy ho ami’ty hereñandro raike; fe añivo’ i hereñandroy re ro hampijihetse i soroñey naho i engay, le añ’elan-draha tiva ty hampangoakoahe’e, ampara’ te nadoañe amy mpampangoakey i famongorañe nafetsey.
That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
