Daniel 9
1 Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Dariusi ọmọ Ahaswerusi, ẹni tí a bí ní Media, òun ló jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba Babeli.
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 Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní ìjọba rẹ̀, èmi Daniẹli fi iyè sí i láti inú ìwé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí wòlíì Jeremiah, wá pé, àádọ́rin ọdún ni Jerusalẹmu yóò fi wà ní ahoro.
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 Nígbà náà, ni mo yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run, mo bẹ̀ ẹ́ pẹ̀lú àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwẹ̀, aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ àti eérú.
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 Mo gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, mo sì jẹ́wọ́ wí pé: “Ìwọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run tí ó tóbi, tí ó sì ní ẹ̀rù, ẹni tí ń pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ mọ́, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó ní ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó ń pa àwọn òfin rẹ̀ mọ́.
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 Àwa ti ṣẹ̀, a sì ti ṣe búburú. Àwa ti hu ìwà búburú, a sì ti ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀, a ti yí padà kúrò nínú àwọn àṣẹ àti àwọn ìlànà rẹ̀.
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 Àwa kò fetí sí àwọn wòlíì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ẹni tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ní orúkọ rẹ sí àwọn ọba wa, àwọn ọmọ-aládé àti àwọn baba wa, àti sí gbogbo ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà.
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 “Olúwa ìwọ ni olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n báyìí ìtìjú dé bá àwọn ènìyàn Juda, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu àti gbogbo Israẹli ní gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti fọ́n wa ká sí nítorí àìṣòótọ́ ọ wa sí ọ.
“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 Háà! Olúwa, àwa àti àwọn ọba wa, àwọn ọmọ-aládé, àti àwọn baba wa, ìtìjú dé bá wa nítorí àwa ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ní àánú, ó sì ń dáríjì, bí àwa tilẹ̀ ti ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí i;
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
10 àwa kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, a kò sì pa àwọn òfin rẹ mọ́, èyí tí ó fún wa nípasẹ̀ àwọn wòlíì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
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 Gbogbo Israẹli ti ṣẹ̀ sí òfin rẹ, wọ́n ti yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, wọ́n kọ̀ láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ. “Nígbà náà ni ègún àti ìdájọ́ tí a kọ sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbúra nínú òfin Mose ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run dà sórí i wa, nítorí tí àwa ti sẹ̀ sí ọ.
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 Ìwọ ti mú ọ̀rọ̀ tí o sọ sí wa sẹ àti lórí àwọn alákòóso wa, nípa mímú kí ibi ńlá bá wa, irú èyí tí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ rí lábẹ́ ọ̀run, bí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu yìí.
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 Bí a ti kọ ọ́ sínú òfin Mose bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo ibi yìí ti dé bá wa, síbẹ̀ a kò bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ojúrere Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, nípa yíyí padà kí a kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa kí a sì mọ òtítọ́ rẹ.
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 Olúwa kò jáfara láti mú ibi náà wá sórí wa, nítorí olódodo ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa nínú u gbogbo ohun tí ó ń ṣe; síbẹ̀ àwa kò ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí i.
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 “Ní ìsinsin yìí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, ẹni tí ó mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára, tí ó fún ara rẹ̀ ní orúkọ tí ó wà títí di òní, a ti ṣẹ̀, a sì ti ṣe búburú.
“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 Olúwa, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ìwà òdodo rẹ, yí ìbínú àti ìrunú rẹ padà kúrò ní Jerusalẹmu ìlú u rẹ, òkè mímọ́ rẹ. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa àti àìṣedéédéé àwọn baba wa ti mú Jerusalẹmu àti ènìyàn rẹ di ẹ̀gàn fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó yí wọn ká.
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 “Nísinsin yìí, Ọlọ́run wa, gbọ́ àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí i tìrẹ Olúwa, fi ojú àánú wo ibi mímọ́ rẹ tí ó ti dahoro.
“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 Tẹ́ etí rẹ sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run, kí o gbọ́; ya ojú rẹ sílẹ̀, kí o sì wo ìdahoro ìlú tí a ń fi orúkọ rẹ pè. Àwa kò gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ wa kalẹ̀ níwájú u rẹ nítorí pé a jẹ́ olódodo, bí kò ṣe nítorí àánú ńlá rẹ.
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 Olúwa, fetísílẹ̀! Olúwa, dáríjì! Olúwa, gbọ́ kí o sì ṣe é! Nítorí i tìrẹ, Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe pẹ́ títí, nítorí ìlú rẹ àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ń jẹ́ orúkọ mọ́ ọ lára.”
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 Bí mo ṣe ń sọ̀rọ̀, tí mo sì ń gba àdúrà, tí mo ń jẹ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi, tí mo sì ń mú ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi tọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi nítorí òkè mímọ́ rẹ.
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 Bí mo ṣe ń gba àdúrà náà lọ́wọ́, Gabrieli ọkùnrin tí mo rí nínú ìran ìṣáájú, yára kánkán wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní àkókò ẹbọ àṣálẹ́.
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 Ó jẹ́ kí ó yé mi, ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Daniẹli, mo wá láti jẹ́ kí o mọ̀ kí o sì ní òye.
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.
23 Bí o ṣe bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí nígbà àdúrà, a fún ọ ní ìdáhùn kan, èyí tí mo wá láti sọ fún ọ, nítorí ìwọ jẹ́ àyànfẹ́ gidigidi. Nítorí náà, gba ọ̀rọ̀ náà yẹ̀ wò kí ìran náà sì yé ọ:
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 “Àádọ́rin ọ̀sẹ̀ ni a pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti fún àwọn ìlú mímọ́ rẹ láti parí ìrékọjá, láti fi òpin sí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, láti ṣe ètùtù sí ìwà búburú, láti mú òdodo títí ayé wá, láti ṣe èdìdì ìran àti wòlíì àti láti fi òróró yan Ibi Mímọ́ Jùlọ.
“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 “Nítorí náà, mọ èyí pé, láti ìgbà tí a ti gbé ọ̀rọ̀ náà jáde wí pé kí a tún Jerusalẹmu ṣe, kí a sì tún kọ́, títí dé ìgbà ọmọ-aládé, ẹni òróró náà, alákòóso wa yóò fi dé, ó jẹ́ ọ̀sẹ̀ méje àti ọ̀sẹ̀ méjìlélọ́gọ́ta, a ó sì tún ìgboro àti yàrá rẹ̀ mọ, ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò wàhálà ni.
“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 Lẹ́yìn ọ̀sẹ̀ méjìlélọ́gọ́ta, a ó ké Ẹni òróró náà kúrò, kò sì ní ní ohun kan. Àwọn ènìyàn ọmọ-aládé náà tí yóò wá ni yóò pa ìlú náà àti ibi mímọ́ run. Òpin yóò dé bí ìkún omi, ogun yóò máa jà títí dé òpin, a sì ti pàṣẹ ìdahoro.
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 Yóò sì fi ìdí i májẹ̀mú kan múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ fún ọ̀sẹ̀ kan. Ní àárín ọ̀sẹ̀ ni yóò mú òpin bá ẹbọ àti ọrẹ ẹbọ. Àti lórí apá kan ni yóò dà ìríra tí ó mú ìdahoro wá, títí tí òpin tí a ti pàṣẹ lórí asọnidahoro yóò fi padà fi dé bá a.”
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.”
