Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
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;
2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
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.
3 And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
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.
4 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
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:
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
“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:
6 Neither have we hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
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.
7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth to thee, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries to which thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
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.
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
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.
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
ʻOku ʻia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamolemole, ka naʻa mau angatuʻu kiate ia;
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
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.
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
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.
12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven it hath not been done as it hath been done upon Jerusalem.
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.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
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.
14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we have not obeyed his voice.
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.
15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast made thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
“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.
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people have become a reproach to all that are about us.
“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.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
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.
18 O my God, incline thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
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.
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thy own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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.”
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
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;
21 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even 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 oblation.
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.
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
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.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
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.
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
“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.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
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.
26 And after sixty and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined.
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.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
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.”
