Raniera 9
1 I te tuatahi o nga tau o Tariuha tama a Ahahueruha, no nga uri o nga Meri, i kingi nei ia ki te kingitanga o nga Karari;
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 Chaldeans—
2 I tona tau tuatahi i kingi ai, ka kitea e ahau, e Raniera, ki nga pukapuka te maha o nga tau i puta mai ai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia poropiti, hei whakatutukitanga i te ururua o Hiruharama, ara ka tae ki te whitu tekau tau.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
3 Na ka anga toku mata ki te Ariki, ki te Atua; rapua ana e ahau i runga i te karakia, i te inoi, i te nohopuku, i te kakahu taratara, i te pungarehu.
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 Na ka inoi atu ahau ki te Ariki, ki toku Atua, ka whaki, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Atua nui, e te atua whakamataku, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te atawhai mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i ana whakahau;
I prayed to Yahweh 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 Kua hara matou, kua poka ke, kua mahi i te kino, kua whakakeke hoki, i a matou i tahuri ke nei i au whakahau, i au tikanga.
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 Kihai ano matou i whakarongo ki au pononga, ki nga poropiti i korero nei i runga i tou ingoa ki o matou kingi, ki o matou rangatira, ki o matou matua, ki te iwi katoa ano o te whenua.
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 Kei a koe, e te Ariki, te tika; kei a matou ia te whakama o te mata, koia ano tenei inaianei; kei nga tangata ano o Hura, kei nga tangata o Hiruharama, kei a Iharaira katoa, kei nga mea e tata ana, kei nga mea i tawhiti, i nga whenua katoa i peia atu ai ratou e koe, mo to ratou he i he ai ratou ki a koe.
“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 E te Ariki, kei a matou nei ko te whakama o te mata, kei o matou kingi hoki, kei o matou rangatira, kei o matou matua hoki, no te mea i hara matou ki a koe.
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Na te Ariki, na to matou Atua, nga mahi tohu me nga murunga hara, ko matou ia kua whakakeke ki a ia;
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 Kihai ano i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to matou Atua, kihai i haere i ana ture i whakatakotoria e ia, ara e ana pononga, e nga poropiti, ki to matou aroaro.
We haven’t obeyed Yahweh our God’s voice, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Ae ra, kua takahia e Iharaira katoa tau ture, kua whakarerea e ratou, kia kore ai ratou e rongo ki tou reo; koia i ringihia ai te kanga ki runga ki a matou, me te oati i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi pononga a te Atua; kua hara hoki matou ki a ia.
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 law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, for we have sinned against him.
12 Na kua pumau i a ia ana kupu i korerotia e ia mo matou, mo o matou kaiwhakawa i whakarite nei i o matou whakawa, na te kino nui hoki kua kawea mai nei e ia ki runga ki a matou: kahore hoki he rite mo te mea kua meatia nei ki Hiruharama i raro i te rangi katoa.
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 Ka rite ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi tenei kino katoa kua tae mai nei ki a matou: heoi kahore a matou inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to matou Atua, mo matou kia tahuri atu i o matou kino, kia matau hoki ki tou pono.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of Yahweh our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.
14 Na reira te kino i tirotirohia mai ai e Ihowa, a kawea mai ana e ia ki runga ki a matou; tika tonu hoki ta Ihowa, ta to matou Atua, i ana mahi katoa e mahia ana e ia, a kihai matou i whakarongo ki tona reo.
Therefore Yahweh has watched over the evil, and brought it on us; for Yahweh our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed his voice.
15 Na aianei, e te Ariki, e to matou Atua, nau nei i kawe mai tau iwi i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i te ringa kaha, a mahia ana e koe he ingoa mou, penei ano me tenei inaianei; hara ana matou, mahi ana i te kino.
“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 E te Ariki, kia rite ki au mahi tika katoa, whakatahuritia atu tou riri, tou weriweri, i tau pa, i Hiruharama, i tou maunga tapu: he hara nei hoki no matou, he kino no o matou matua i ingoa kino ai a Hiruharama me tau iwi ki te hunga katoa i tet ahi taha o matou, i tetahi taha.
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 Na whakarongo aianei, e to matou Atua, ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki ana tangi, kia marama ano tou mata ki tou wahi tapu kua ururua nei, me whakaaro ki te Ariki.
“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 Kia anga mai, e toku Atua, tou taringa, whakarongo hoki, titiro mai hoki ou kanohi, kia kitea ai e koe o matou matenga, me te pa ano kua huaina nei tou ingoa mo reira: ehara hoki i te mea he tika no matou i tukua atu ai e matou a matou inoi ki t ou aroaro, engari he nui no au mahi tohu.
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 Whakarongo, e te Ariki; e te Ariki, murua te he; e te Ariki, whakarongo mai, e mahi; kaua e whakaroa; kia mahara ano ki a koe, e toku Atua, kua oti hoki tou ingoa te whakahua mo tau pa, mo tau iwi.
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 Na, i ahau e korero ana, e karakia ana, e whaki ana i toku hara, i te hara ano o toku iwi, o Iharaira, e tuku ana i taku inoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o toku Atua, mo te maunga tapu o toku Atua;
While I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Yahweh my God for the holy mountain of my God—
21 Ae ra, i ahau e korero ana, e karakia ana, na ko Kapariera, ko te tangata i kitea e ahau i te whakakitenga i te timatanga, ko tona rere he mea whakahohoro, kua pa mai ki ahau i te wa o to te ahiahi whakahere.
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 Na ka ako ia i ahau, ka korero ki ahau, ka mea, E Raniera, kua puta mai nei ahau kia mohio ai koe, kia matau ai.
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.
23 I te timatanga o au inoi i puta te kupu, a kua tae mai ahau ki te whakaatu; e arohaina nuitia ana hoki koe, na kia mohio koe ki te mea, whakaaroa ano te kite.
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 E whitu tekau nga wiki kua oti te whakarite mo tou iwi, mo tou pa tapu hoki, e whakaotia ai te poka ke, e whakamutua ai nga hara, e oti ai te whakamarie mo te kino, e kawea mai ai te tika mau tonu, e hiritia ai te kite, me te poropititanga, e wh akawahia ai te Tapu Rawa.
“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 Na kia mohio, a kia marama hoki, e whitu nga wiki o te putanga o te kupu, kia whakahoutia, kia hanga a Hiruharama a tae noa ki te mea i whakawahia, ki te rangatira: a, e ono tekau ma rua nga wiki, ka oti ano te hanga, me te waharoa, me te awaker i, ahakoa i roto i nga wa raruraru.
“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 A, ka taka aua wiki e ono tekau ma rua, ka hatepea atu te mea i whakawahia, a kahore he mea mana; a ka whakangaromia te pa me te wahi tapu e te iwi o te rangatira ka haere mai nei; a he waipuke kei tona mutunga, a he whawhai taea noatia te mutun ga; kua takoto hoki nga whakangaromanga.
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 A ka hanga e ia he kawenata pumau ki etahi tokomaha, kotahi te wiki; ka tae ki te hawhe o te wiki e meinga ana e ia kia mutu te patunga tapu me te whakahere; na ka haere mai tetahi i runga i te parirau o nga mea whakarihariha, mana e whakaururua; a ka ringihia he riri ki runga ki te kaiwhakangaro, a taea rawatia ano te whakaotinga, he mea kua oti te whakarite.
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.”
