Danieli 9
1 Dario mwana wa Ahasuero, wa uzao wa Wamedi. Alikuwa na Ahasuero ambaye alifanywa mfalme juu ya ufalme wa watu wa Babeli.
In year one of Darius [the] son of Ahasuerus one of [the] descendant[s] of Media who he had been made king over [the] kingdom of [the] Chaldeans.
2 Sasa katika mwaka wa kwanza wa utawala wa Dario, mimi Danieli, nilikuwa najisomea vitabu vilivyo na neno la Yahweh, neno ambalo lilikuwa limemjia Yeremia nabii. Niligundua kwamba kungekuwa na miaka sabini hadi mwisho wa kuachwa kwa Yerusalemu ungefika.
In year one of reigning his I Daniel I observed in the scrolls [the] number of the years which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet to complete to [the] ruins of Jerusalem seventy year[s].
3 Niliugeuza uso wangu kumwelekea Bwana Mungu, ili kumtafuta yeye kwa sala na maombi, kwa kufunga, na kuvaa nguo za magunia na kukaa katika majivu.
And I set! face my to [the] Lord God to seek prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ash[es].
4 Nilimwomba Yahweh Mungu wangu, na niliungama dhambi zetu. Nilisema, “Tafadhali, Bwana, wewe ni Mungu mkuu na mwenye kuheshimiwa, wewe hutunza maagano na uliye mwaminifu katika kuwapenda wale wanaokupenda wewe na kuzishika amri zako.
And I prayed! to Yahweh God my and I confessed and I said! I beg you O Lord God great and awesome [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to [those who] love him and to [those who] keep commandments his.
5 Tumetenda dhambi na tumefanya yaliyo mabaya. Tumeenenda kwa uovu na tumeasi, tumegeuka upande kinyume na amri na maagizo yako.
We have sinned and we have committed iniquity (we have acted wickedly *Q(K)*) and we have rebelled and we have turned aside from commandments your and from judgments your.
6 Hatujawasikiliza watumishi wako manabii walizungumza na wafalme wetu, viongozi wetu, baba zetu, na kwa watu wote wa nchi kwa jina lako.
And not we have listened to servants your the prophets who they spoke in name your to kings our leaders our and ancestors our and to all [the] people of the land.
7 Kwako Bwana, kuna uadilifu. Hata hivyo, kwetu kuna aibu katika nyuso zetu, kwa watu wa Yuda na wale wanaoishi Yerusalem, na kwa Israeli yote. Hii ni pamoja na wale walio karibu na wale walio mbali katika nchi zote ambazo kwazo uliwatawanya. Hii ni kwasababu ya udanganyifu mkubwa tulioufanya kinyume chako.
[belongs] to You O Lord righteousness and [belongs] to us [the] shame of the faces as the day this to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel near and far in all the lands where you have banished them there in unfaithfulness their which they acted unfaithfully against you.
8 Kwetu sisi, Yahweh, kuna fedheha katika nyuso, na kwa wafalme wetu, na kwa viongozi wetu, na kwa baba zetu, kwasababu tumekutenda dhambi wewe.
O Yahweh [belongs] to us [the] shame of the faces to kings our to leaders our and to ancestors our that we have sinned to you.
9 Kwa Bwana Mungu wetu kuna huruma na msamaha, kwa kuwa tumemwasi yeye.
[belong] to [the] Lord God our compassion and forgiveness for we have rebelled against him.
10 Hatujaitii sauti ya Yahweh Mungu wetu kwa kutembea katika sheria zake alizotupatia kupitia watumishi wake manabii.
And not we have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God our to walk in laws his which he set before us by [the] hand of servants his the prophets.
11 Israeli wote wameiasi sheria yako na kugeukia upande, kwa kukataa kuitii sauti yako. Laana na viapo vilivyoandikwa katika sheria ya Musa, mtumishi wa Mungu, zimemwagwa juu yetu kwa kuwa tummetenda dhambi.
And all Israel they have transgressed law your and they have turned aside to not to listen to voice your and it has poured forth on us the curse and the oath which [was] written in [the] law of Moses [the] servant of God for we have sinned to him.
12 Yahweh ameyathibitisha maneno ambayo aliyasema kinyume na sisi na kinyume na viongozi wetu juu yetu, kwa kuleta juu yetu janga kubwa. Kwa kuwa chini ya mbingu yote haijawahi kufanyika kitu chochote ambacho kinaweza kulinganishwa na kile kilichofanyika huko Yerusalemu.
And he has carried out (word his *Q(K)*) which he spoke on us and on judges our who they judged us by bringing on us a calamity great which not it has been done under all the heavens just as it has been done on Jerusalem.
13 Kama ilivyoandikwa kwenye sheria ya Musa, baa hili lote limetupata, ingawa bado hatujaomba rehema kutoka kwa Yahweh Mungu wetu kwa kugeuka na kuacha maovu yetu na kuufuata ukweli wako.
Just as [it is] written in [the] law of Moses all the calamity this it has come on us and not we have entreated [the] face of - Yahweh God our by turning away from iniquity our and by giving attention to faithfulness your.
14 Hivyo basi, Yahweh ameyaweka tayari maafa na ameyaleta juu yetu, kwa kuwa Yahweh Mungu wetu ni mwenye haki katika matendo yote anayoyafanya, ingawa bado hatujaitii sauti yake.
And he kept watch Yahweh over the calamity and he brought it on us for [has been] righteous Yahweh God our on all deeds his which he has done and not we listened to voice his.
15 Basi sasa, Bwana Mungu wetu, uliwatoa watu wako katika nchi ya Misri kwa mkono wenye nguvu, na umejifanyia jina maarufu kwa ajli yako mwenyewe, hata siku hii ya leo. Lakini bado tumekutenda dhambi; tumefanya mambo ya hila. Kwasababu ya matendo yako yote ya haki,
And now - O Lord God our who you brought out people your from [the] land of Egypt by a hand strong and you made for yourself a name as the day this we have sinned we have acted wickedly.
16 Bwana, iache hasira na ghadhabu yako iwe mbali na mji wako Yerusalemu, mlima wako mtakatifu. Hii ni kwasababu ya dhambi zetu, na kwasababu ya uovu wa baba zetu, Yerusalemu na watu wako wamekuwa kitu cha kudharauliwa na wote wanaotuzunguka.
O Lord according to all righteousness your may it turn back please anger your and rage your from city your Jerusalem [the] mountain of holiness your for by sins our and by [the] iniquities of ancestors our Jerusalem and people your [have become] a reproach to all around us.
17 Basi sasa, Mungu wetu, sikiliza sala za mtumishi wako na maombi yake kwa ajili ya rehema; kwa ajili yako, Bwana ufanye uso wako ung'ae katika sehemu yako takatifu iliyoachwa ukiwa.
And therefore - listen O God our to [the] prayer of servant your and to supplications his and make shine face your on sanctuary your desolate for [the] sake of [the] Lord.
18 Mungu wangu, fungua masikio yako na usikie; fumbua macho yako na uone. Tumeharibiwa; utazame mji unaoitwa kwa jina lako. Hatukuombi msaada wako kwasababu ya haki yetu, ila kwasababu ya rehema zako kuu.
Incline O God my - ear your and listen (open *Q(K)*) eyes your and see desolate [things] our and the city which it is called name your on it for - not on righteousness our we [are] making fall supplications our before you for on compassion your great.
19 Bwana, sikiliza! Bwana, samehe! Bwana, tuangalie na ufanye jambo! Kwa ajili yako mwenyewe, usichelewe, Mungu wangu, kwa kuwa mji wako na watu wako wanaitwa kwa jina lako.”
O Lord - hear! O Lord - forgive! O Lord be attentive! and act may not you delay for own sake your O God my for name your it is called on city your and on people your.
20 Nilipokuwa ninaongea kwa kuomba na kuungama dhambi yangu na dhambi ya watu wangu Israeli, na kuwasilisha maombi yangu mbele ya Yahweh Mungu wangu kwa niaba ya mlima mtakatifu wa Mungu.
And still I [was] speaking and [was] praying and [was] confessing sin my and [the] sin of people my Israel and [was] making fall supplication my before Yahweh God my on [the] mountain of [the] holiness of God my.
21 Nilipokuwa ninaomba, mtu Gabrieli, ambaye nilikuwa nimemwona katika ndoto hapo awali, alipaa kwa kasi kushuka kuja nilipo, ilikuwa ni wakati wa sadaka ya jioni.
And still I [was] speaking in prayer and the man Gabriel whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning wearied with weariness [was] approaching me about [the] time of [the] offering of [the] evening.
22 Alinipa ufahamu na aliniambia, “Danieli, nimekuja sasa ili nikupe utambuzi na ufahamu.
And he gave understanding and he spoke with me and he said O Daniel now I have come forth to give insight you understanding.
23 Ulipoanza kuomba rehema, amri ilitolewa na nimekuja kukueleza jibu, kwa kuwa unapendwa sana. Hivyo basi, tafakari neno hili na uufahamu ufunuo.
At [the] beginning of supplications your it went forth a word and I I have come to declare for [are] precious you and understand the word and understand the vision.
24 Miaka sabini na saba zimeamriwa kwa ajili ya watu wako na mji wako mtakatifu kukomesha hatia na kumaliza dhambi, na kuleta haki ya milele, na kutimiza maono na unabii, na kupaweka wakfu mahali patakatifu sana.
Sevens seventy it has been decreed on people your - and on [the] city of holiness your to put an end to the transgression (and to complete sin *Q(K)*) and to atone for iniquity and to bring righteousness of perpetuity and to seal up vision and prophet and to anoint a holy place of holy places.
25 Ujue na kufahamu kuwa tangu kupitishwa kwa amri ya kurudi na kuijenga upya Yerusalemu mpaka ujio wa mpakwa mafuta (atakayekuwa kiongozi), kutakuwa na majuma saba na majuma sitini na mbili. Yerusalemu itajengwa pamoja na mitaa yake na handaki, licha ya kuwepo kwa nyakati za shida
So you may know and you will understand from [the] going forth of [the] word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until an anointed [one] a prince sevens seven and sevens sixty and two it will return and it will be built an open place and a moat and in [the] distress of the times.
26 Baada ya miaka ya majuma sitini na mbili, mtiwa mafuta ataharibiwa na atakuwa hana kitu chochote. Jeshi la kiongozi ajaye litauangamiza mji na mahali patakatifu. Mwisho wake utatatokea kwa gharika, na kutakuwa na vita hata mwisho. Uharibifu umekwisha amriwa.
And after the sevens sixty and two he will be cut off an anointed [one] and nothing [will belong] to him and the city and the sanctuary it will destroy [the] people of a prince who is coming and end his [will be] by flood and [will be] until [the] end war [are] determined desolate [things].
27 Atalithibitisha agano pamoja na watu wengi kwa miaka saba. Katikati ya miaka saba atakomesha dhabihu na sadaka. Baada ya chukizo la uharibifu atatokea mtu atakayeleta ukiwa. Mwisho kamili na uharibifu umeamriwa kutokea kwa yeye aliyesababisha ukiwa.”
And he will make strong a covenant to the many [people] seven one and [the] middle of the seven he will cause to cease - sacrifice and offering and on a wing of abomination desolating and until complete destruction and [what] has been decided it will be poured forth on [one who] is desolate.
