Daaniʼel 9
1 Bara Daariyoos ilma Ahashweroos namicha Meedee kan mootummaa Kaldootaa irratti bulchaa taasifame sanaa keessa waggaa tokkoffaatti
In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who ruled over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
2 bara mootummaa isaa keessa waggaa tokkoffaatti ani Daaniʼel dubbii Waaqayyoo kan Ermiyaas raajichaaf kenname irraa akka Yerusaalem waggaa torbaatamaaf ontee turtu kitaabota qulqulluu irraa nan hubadhe.
in year one of his reign, I, Daniel, understood in the books the number of the years, concerning the word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah, the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would be completed in seventy years.
3 Kanaafuu ani deebii barbaadee kadhannaa fi waammataan, soomaan, wayyaa gaddaa uffachuudhaa fi daaraa keessa taaʼuudhaan gara Waaqayyoo Gooftaatti nan deebiʼe.
And I set my face to the Lord, my God, to ask and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 Anis Waaqayyo Waaqa kootti kadhannaa dhiʼeessee akkana jedheen cubbuu saba kootii himadhe: “Yaa Gooftaa, Waaqa guddaa fi akka malee sodaachisaa kan warra si jaallatanii ajaja kee eegan hundaaf kakuu jaalala keetii eegdu,
And I prayed to the Lord, my God, and I confessed, and I said, “I beg you, O Lord God, great and terrible, preserving the covenant and mercy for those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerras. Nu jalʼoota turre; fincilleerras; ajajaa fi seera kee irraa garagalleerra.
We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we acted impiously and have withdrawn, and we have turned aside from your commandments as well as your judgments.
6 Nu tajaajiltoota kee raajota warra maqaa keetiin mootota keenyatti, ilmaan mootota keenyaatti, abbootii keenyaa fi saba lafaa hundatti dubbatan sana hin dhaggeeffanne.
We have not obeyed your servants, the prophets, who have spoken in your name to our kings, our leaders, our fathers, and all the people of the land.
7 “Yaa Gooftaa, ati qajeelaa dha; garuu nu namoonni Yihuudaa, sabni Yerusaalemii fi Israaʼel kanneen ati sababii amanamummaa dhabuu keenyaatiin biyyoota dhiʼoo fi fagoo keessa bittinneessite hundi harʼa qaaniidhaan haguugamneerra.
To you, O Lord, is justice, but to us is confusion of face, just as it is on this day for the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, for those who are near and those who are far off, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of their iniquities by which they have sinned against you.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo nuu fi mootonni keenya, ilmaan moototaatii fi abbootiin keenya waan cubbuu sitti hojjenneef qaaniidhaan haguugamneerra.
O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face: to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, who have sinned.
9 Yoo nu isatti fincillee jiraanne iyyuu Waaqni keenya Gooftichi araara qabeessa; dhiifamas namaaf godha;
But to you, the Lord our God, is mercy and atonement, for we have withdrawn from you,
10 nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf hin ajajamne yookaan seera isaa kan inni karaa tajaajiltoota isaa raajotaatiin nuuf kenne sana hin eegne.
and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord, our God, so as to walk in his law, which he established for us by his servants, the prophets.
11 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu siif ajajamuu diduudhaan seera kee cabsaniiru; sirraa garagalaniirus. “Kanaafuu sababii nu cubbuu sitti hojjenneef abaarsaa fi kakuun Seera Musee garbicha Waaqaa sanaa keessatti barreeffame nurratti dhangalaʼe.
And all Israel has transgressed your law and has turned away, not listening to your voice, and so the condemnation and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses, servant of God, has rained down upon us, because we have sinned against him.
12 Ati balaa guddaa nutti fiduudhaan dubbii nuu fi bulchitoota keenya irratti dubbatame sana raawwatteerta. Wanni akka waan Yerusaalem irratti taʼe sanaa takkumaa guutummaa samiitii gaditti taʼee hin beeku.
And he has fulfilled his words, which he has spoken over us and over our leaders who judged us, that he would lead over us a great evil, such as has never before existed under all of heaven, according to what has been done in Jerusalem.
13 Akkuma Seera Musee keessatti barreeffametti balaan kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼu iyyuu nu qalbii jijjiirrannee dhugaa duukaa buʼuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya irraa araara hin barbaanne.
Just as it has been written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us, and we did not entreat your face, O Lord our God, so that we might turn back from our iniquities and consider your truth.
14 Waaqayyo balaa nutti fiduu irraa duubatti hin deebine; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya waan hojjetu hundaan qajeelaadhaatii; nu garuu isaaf hin ajajamne.
And the Lord kept watch over the evil and has led it over us; the Lord, our God, is just in all his works, which he has accomplished, for we have not listened to his voice.
15 “Egaa amma yaa Waaqa keenya Gooftaa, kan irree jabaadhaan saba kee biyya Gibxi baaftee akka maqaan kee akkuma harʼa jiru kana beekamu goote, nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerras.
And now, O Lord, our God, who has led your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and has made yourself a name in accordance with this day: we have sinned, we have done wrong.
16 Yaa Gooftaa, akkuma hojii kee qajeelaa sana hundaatti Yerusaalem magaalaa keetii fi gaara kee qulqulluu irraa aarii fi dheekkamsa kee deebisi. Cubbuun keenyaa fi balleessaan abbootii keenyaa namoota naannoo keenya jiraatan hunda biratti akka Yerusaalemii fi sabni kee waan kolfaa taʼan godheera.
O Lord, for all your righteousness, turn away, I beg you, your anger and your fury from your city, Jerusalem, and from your holy mountain. For, because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all who surround us.
17 “Egaa yaa Waaqa keenya, kadhannaa fi waammata garbicha keetii dhagaʼi. Yaa Gooftaa, ulfina keetiif jedhiitii fuula kee gara iddoo kee qulqulluu one sanaatti deebisi.
Now, therefore, heed, O God, the prayer of your servant and his requests, and reveal your face over your sanctuary, which is desolate, for your own sake.
18 Yaa Waaqa ko, gurra itti qabii dhagaʼi; ija kee banadhuutii badii keenyaa fi magaalaa Maqaan kee ittiin waamame sana ilaali. Nu utuu waaʼee qajeelummaa keenyaatiif hin taʼin sababii araara kee guddaa sanaatiif si kadhanna.
Incline your ear, O my God, and hear, open your eyes and see our desolation and the city over which your name is invoked. For it is not through our justifications that we offer requests before your face, but through the fullness of your compassion.
19 Yaa Gooftaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Gooftaa dhiifama nuu godhi! Yaa Gooftaa dhagaʼiitii waa hojjedhu! Yaa Waaqa ko, sababii magaalaan keetii fi sabni kee Maqaa keetiin waamamuuf ati hin turin.”
Heed, O Lord. Be pleased, O Lord. Turn and act. Do not delay, for your own sake, O my God, because your name is invoked over your city and over your people.”
20 Utuu ani dubbichaa fi kadhachaa, cubbuu kootii fi cubbuu saba koo Israaʼel himachaa, tulluu isaa qulqulluufis Waaqayyo Waaqa koo gaafachaa jiruu,
And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people, Israel, and offering my prayers in the sight of my God, on behalf of the holy mountain of my God,
21 utuu ani amma illee kadhannaa irra jiruu, Gabriʼeel namichi ani mulʼata koo duraa keessatti arge sun, yeroo aarsaa galgalaatti ariitiidhaan barrisaa gara koo dhufe.
as I was still speaking in prayer, behold, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Innis akkana jedhee na barsiise; akkanas naan jedhe; “Yaa Daaniʼel ani amma ogummaa fi hubannaa siif kennuuf dhufeera.
And he instructed me, and he spoke to me and said, “Now, Daniel, I have come forth to teach you and to help you understand.
23 Akkuma ati Waaqa kadhachuu jalqabdeen deebiin ani sitti himuuf dhufe kun siif kenname; ati akka malee jaalatamaadhaatii. Kanaafuu ergaa kana qalbeeffadhuutii mulʼata sana hubadhu:
At the beginning of your prayers, the message came forth, yet I have come to explain it to you because you are a man who is seeking. Therefore, you must pay close attention to the message and understand the vision.
24 “Dogoggora hambisuuf, cubbuu balleessuuf, araara yakkaa buusuuf, qajeelummaa bara baraa fiduuf, mulʼataa fi raajii chaappaadhaan cufuuf, Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe sana dibuuf saba keetii fi magaalattii qulqulluu keetiif ‘torban’ torbaatamni labsameera.
Seventy weeks of years are concentrated on your people and on your holy city, so that transgression shall be finished, and sin shall reach an end, and iniquity shall be wiped away, and so that everlasting justice shall be brought in, and vision and prophecy shall be fulfilled, and the Saint of saints shall be anointed.
25 “Waan kana beeki; hubadhus: Gaafa labsiin Yerusaalemin haaromsuu fi deebisanii ijaaruuf labsame kun baʼee jalqabee hamma Masiihichi, Bulchaan dhufutti ‘torban’ torbaatamaa fi torban jaatamii lama taʼa. Isheen daandiiwwanii fi dallaa wajjin ni haaromfamti; garuu wanni kun yeroo rakkinaa keessa taʼa.
Therefore, know and take heed: from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again, until the Christ leader, there will be seven weeks of years, and sixty-two weeks of years; and the wide path will be built again, and the walls, in a time of anguish.
26 ‘Torban’ jaatamii lama booddee Masiihichi ni ajjeefama; wanni tokko iyyuu isaaf hin hafu. Namoonni bulchaa dhufuuf jiru tokkoo magaalaa sanaa fi iddoo qulqulluu ni barbadeessu. Dhumnis akkuma lolaatti dhufa: Waraanni hamma dhumaatti itti fufa; badiisnis labsameera.
And after sixty-two weeks of years, the Christ leader will be slain. And the people who have denied him will not be his. And the people, when their leader arrives, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will be devastation, and, after the end of the war, the desolation will be set up.
27 Bulchaan kunis ‘Torban’ tokkoof namoota baayʼee wajjin kakuu godhata; walakkaa ‘Torban’ sanaatti aarsaa fi kennaan akka hafu godha. Innis hamma wanni labsame sun isa irratti dhangalaʼutti waan xuraaʼaa badiisa fidu mana qulqullummaa gubbaa ni dhaaba.”
But he will confirm a covenant with many for one week of years; and for half of the week of years, victim and sacrifice will nearly cease; but there will be in the temple the abomination of desolation. And the desolation will continue even to the consummation and the end.”
