Taniela 9
1 ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Talaiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasivelo ko e hako ʻoe kau Mitia, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ko e tuʻi ki he puleʻanga ʻoe kau Kalitia;
Darius was the son of Ahasuerus, a descendant of the Medes. It was Ahasuerus who had been made king over the realm of the Babylonians.
2 ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ko au Taniela naʻaku ʻilo mei he ngaahi tohi, hono lau ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻaia naʻe hoko ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ko e palōfita, koeʻuhi ʻi he pehē, ʻE fakakakato ʻae taʻu ʻe fitungofulu mo e fakalala ʻo Selūsalema.
Now in the first year of Darius' reign I, Daniel, was studying the books containing Yahweh's word, the word that had come to Jeremiah the prophet. I observed that there would be seventy years until Jerusalem's abandonment would end.
3 Pea ne u hanga hoku mata kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ke kumi ʻi he lotu mo e ngaahi kole mo e ʻaukai mo e ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa mo e efuefu.
I turned my face to the Lord God, to seek him with prayer and requests, with fasting, wearing sackcloth, and sitting in ashes.
4 Pea ne u lotu kia Sihova, ko hoku ʻOtua, pea ne u fai ʻeku vete, pea ne u pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ko e ʻOtua lahi mo fakamanavahēʻia, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻene ngaahi fekau:
I prayed to Yahweh my God, and I made confession of our sins. I said, “Please, Lord—you are the great and awesome God—you are the one who keeps the covenant and is faithful to love those who love you and keep your commandments.
5 “Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai angahala mo fai kovi, pea kuo mau talangataʻa, ʻio, ʻi heʻemau hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau pea mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau:
We have sinned and have done what is wrong. We have acted wickedly and we have rebelled, turning aside from your commands and decrees.
6 Pea naʻe ʻikai te mau fanongo ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu naʻe lea ʻi ho huafa ki homau ngaahi tuʻi, mo homau houʻeiki mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
We have not listened to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.
7 ʻE ʻEiki ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻae māʻoniʻoni ka ʻoku ʻamautolu ʻae mā ʻoe mata, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni; ki he kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, pea ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻoku ofi mo mamaʻo atu ʻi he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻaia kuo ke kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai, koeʻuhi ko e angahala kuo nau fai angahala ai kiate koe.
To you, Lord, belongs righteousness. To us today, however, belongs shame on our faces—for the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem, and to all Israel. This includes those who are near and those who are far away in all the lands where you scattered them. This is because of the great treachery that we committed against you.
8 ʻE ʻEiki ʻoku ʻamautolu ʻae mā ʻoe mata, ʻa homau ngaahi tuʻi, mo homau houʻeiki, pea mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mau fai angahala kiate koe.
To us, Yahweh, belongs shame on our faces—to our kings, to our leaders, and to our ancestors—because we have sinned against you.
9 ʻOku ʻia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamolemole, ka naʻa mau angatuʻu kiate ia;
To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 Pea naʻe ʻikai te mau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi fono ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻi homau ʻao, ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.
We have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God by walking in his laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.
11 ʻIo, kuo maumau ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē hoʻo fono, ʻi heʻenau tafoki, ke ʻoua naʻa nau talangofua ki ho leʻo; ko ia, kuo lilingi ai ʻae malaʻia kiate kimautolu, pea mo e fuakava ʻaia ʻoku tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi kuo mau fai angahala kiate ia.
All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, refusing to obey your voice. The curse and oath that are written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, for we have sinned against him.
12 Pea kuo ne fakamoʻoni ki heʻene ngaahi folofola, ʻaia naʻa ne folofola kiate kimautolu, pea mo homau kau fakamaau, ʻaia naʻe fakamaauʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻi heʻene ʻomi kiate kimautolu ʻae kovi lahi: he naʻe ʻikai ha fai ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fai ki Selūsalema.
Yahweh has confirmed the words that he spoke against us and against our rulers over us, by bringing on us a great disaster. For under the whole of heaven there has not been done anything that could compare with what has been done to Jerusalem.
13 ʻO hangē ko ia naʻe tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, kuo hoko ʻae kovi ni kotoa pē kiate kimautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻemau lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke mau tafoki mei heʻemau ngaahi hia, pea ʻilo hoʻo moʻoni.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not begged for mercy from Yahweh our God by turning away from our iniquities and paying attention to your truth.
14 Ko ia kuo leʻohi ʻa Sihova ki he kovi, pea kuo ne fakahoko ia kiate kimautolu: he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ne fai: he naʻe ʻikai te mau talangofua ki hono leʻo.
Therefore Yahweh has kept the disaster ready and has brought it on us, for Yahweh our God is righteous in all the deeds he does, yet we have not obeyed his voice.
15 “Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻEiki ko homau ʻOtua, ʻa koe naʻa ke ʻomi ʻa hoʻo kakai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi, pea kuo ke maʻu kiate koe ʻae ongoongo, ʻo hangē ʻi he ʻaho ni; kuo mau angahala, kuo mau fai kovi.
Now, Lord our God, you brought out your people from the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and you have made a famous name for yourself, as in this present day. But still we sinned; we have done wicked things.
16 “ʻE Sihova ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻo fakatatau mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, ke fakaʻafeʻi ho houhau mo ho tuputāmaki lahi mei hoʻo kolo ko Selūsalema, ko ho moʻunga tapu: he koeʻuhi ko ʻemau ngaahi hia, pea mo e hia ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai, kuo hoko ʻa Selūsalema, mo hoʻo kakai, ko e manukiʻanga kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku nofo takatakai kiate kimautolu.
Lord, because of all your righteous deeds, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Because of our sins, and because of the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people have become an object of scorn to all those around us.
17 Pea ko eni, ʻe homau ʻOtua, fanongo ki he hū ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo ʻene ngaahi kole, pea tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki ho fale tapu, ʻaia ʻoku lala, koeʻuhi ko koe pe, ʻe ʻEiki.
Now, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy; for your sake, Lord, make your face shine on your sanctuary that is desolate.
18 ʻE hoku ʻOtua, fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga, pea fanongo, ke ke fofonga ʻaa, pea ʻafioʻi homau tuʻutāmaki, pea mo e kolo ʻoku ui ʻaki ho huafa: he ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻatu ʻemau ngaahi kole ki ho ʻao, koeʻuhi ko ʻemau māʻoniʻoni, ka koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa lahi.
My God, open your ears and listen; open your eyes and see. We have been devastated; look at the city that is called by your name. We do not beg for your help because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy.
19 ʻE ʻEiki, fanongo, ʻE ʻEiki, fakamolemole; ʻE ʻEiki, tokanga, mo fai; ʻoua naʻa fakatuai, koeʻuhi pe ko koe, ʻe hoku ʻOtua; he ko hoʻo kolo, mo hoʻo kakai ʻoku ui ʻaki ho huafa.”
Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay attention and take action! For your own sake, do not delay, my God, for your city and your people are called by your name.”
20 Pea lolotonga ʻeku kei lea, mo lotu, mo fakahā ʻeku hia, mo e hia ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, mo ʻeku kei ʻatu ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e moʻunga tapu ʻo hoku ʻOtua;
While I was speaking—praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my requests before Yahweh my God on behalf of God's holy mountain—
21 ʻIo, ʻi he lolotonga ʻeku kei lea ʻi he lotu, naʻe fekau ke puna vave mai ʻae tangata, ʻio, ko Kepeleli, ʻaia naʻaku mamata ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻi hono kamataʻanga, pea naʻe haʻu ia ʻo ala kiate au, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoe feilaulau efiafi.
while I was praying, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, flew down to me in rapid flight, at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Pea ne fakahā mai, pea naʻa ma talanoa mo au, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Taniela, kuo u toki haʻu koeʻuhi ke tuku kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻilo.
He gave me understanding and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding.
23 ʻI he kamata fai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kole naʻe hoko mai ʻae fekau, pea kuo u haʻu ke fakahā kiate koe; he ko e ʻofeina lahi koe: ko ia ke ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa pea ke fakakaukau ki he meʻa hā mai.
When you began pleading for mercy, the order was given and I have come to tell you the answer, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider this word and understand the revelation.
24 “Kuo kotofa pau ʻae uike ʻe fitungofulu ki hoʻo kakai, mo hoʻo kolo tapu, ke fakaʻosi ʻae angahala, mo fakangata ʻae ngaahi hia, pea ke fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e angahia, pea ke fakahoko mai ʻae māʻoniʻoni taʻengata, pea ke fakamaau ke maʻu ʻae meʻa hā mai mo e kikite, pea ke fakanofo ʻae Fungani Māʻoniʻoni.
Seventy sevens are decreed for your people and your holy city to end the guilt and put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring everlasting righteousness, to carry out the vision and the prophecy, and to consecrate the most holy place.
25 Ko ia ke ke poto pea ke ʻilo, mei he fakahā ʻoe fekau ke fakafoʻou mo langa ʻa Selūsalema, ʻo aʻu ki he Misaia ko e ʻEiki, ko e uike ʻe fitu ia, mo e uike ʻe onongofulu ma ua: ʻe toe langa ʻae hala mo e ʻa maka, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga ʻoe maveuveu.
Know and understand that from the issuing of the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of the anointed one (who will be a leader), there will be seven sevens and sixty-two sevens. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and a moat, despite the times of distress.
26 Pea hili ʻae uike ʻe onongofulu ma ua ʻe motuhi ʻae Misaia, ka e ʻikai koeʻuhi ko ia: pea ko e kakai ʻoe ʻeiki ʻe haʻu, te nau fakaʻauha ʻae kolo mo e potu tapu; pea ko hono ngata ʻo ia ʻe hoko ʻo hangē ko e melemo, pea kuo pau pe ke fai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi kovi, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu.
After the sixty-two sevens, the anointed one will be destroyed and will have nothing. The army of a coming ruler will destroy the city and the holy place. Its end will come with a flood, and there will be war even to the end. Desolations have been decreed.
27 Pea ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ʻae fuakava mo e tokolahi ʻi he uike ʻe taha: pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe uike ʻe fakangata ʻe ia hono fai ʻae feilaulau, mo e feilaulau tutu; pea ʻoka kāpui ia ʻe he meʻa fakalielia ʻoe fakaʻauha, ʻe fai ʻaia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, pea ʻe lilingi atu ia ki he fakaʻauha.”
He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to the sacrifice and the offering. On the wing of abominations will come someone who makes desolate. A full end and destruction are decreed to be poured out on the one who has made the desolation.”
