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 was made king over the realm 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 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 Kanaafuu ani deebii barbaadee kadhannaa fi waammataan, soomaan, wayyaa gaddaa uffachuudhaa fi daaraa keessa taaʼuudhaan gara Waaqayyoo Gooftaatti nan deebiʼe.
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, 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,
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 nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerras. Nu jalʼoota turre; fincilleerras; ajajaa fi seera kee irraa garagalleerra.
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 Nu tajaajiltoota kee raajota warra maqaa keetiin mootota keenyatti, ilmaan mootota keenyaatti, abbootii keenyaa fi saba lafaa hundatti dubbatan sana hin dhaggeeffanne.
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 “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.
“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 Yaa Waaqayyo nuu fi mootonni keenya, ilmaan moototaatii fi abbootiin keenya waan cubbuu sitti hojjenneef qaaniidhaan haguugamneerra.
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Yoo nu isatti fincillee jiraanne iyyuu Waaqni keenya Gooftichi araara qabeessa; dhiifamas namaaf godha;
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf hin ajajamne yookaan seera isaa kan inni karaa tajaajiltoota isaa raajotaatiin nuuf kenne sana hin eegne.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Waaqayyo balaa nutti fiduu irraa duubatti hin deebine; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya waan hojjetu hundaan qajeelaadhaatii; nu garuu isaaf hin ajajamne.
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 “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.
“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 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.
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 “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, 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 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.
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 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.”
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 Utuu ani dubbichaa fi kadhachaa, cubbuu kootii fi cubbuu saba koo Israaʼel himachaa, tulluu isaa qulqulluufis Waaqayyo Waaqa koo gaafachaa jiruu,
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 utuu ani amma illee kadhannaa irra jiruu, Gabriʼeel namichi ani mulʼata koo duraa keessatti arge sun, yeroo aarsaa galgalaatti ariitiidhaan barrisaa gara koo dhufe.
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 Innis akkana jedhee na barsiise; akkanas naan jedhe; “Yaa Daaniʼel ani amma ogummaa fi hubannaa siif kennuuf dhufeera.
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.
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 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 “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 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 “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.
“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 ‘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.
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 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.”
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.”
