< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Dariusi ọmọ Ahaswerusi, ẹni tí a bí ní Media, òun ló jẹ ọba lórí ìjọba Babeli.
2 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 Jeremias the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem.
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.
3 And I set my face to the Lord my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Nígbà náà, ni mo yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run, mo bẹ̀ ẹ́ pẹ̀lú àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwẹ̀, aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ àti eérú.
4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments.
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.
5 We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments.
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.
6 We have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
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.
7 To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities by which they have sinned against thee.
“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.
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to our fathers that have sinned.
Háà! Olúwa, àwa àti àwọn ọba wa, àwọn ọmọ-aládé, àti àwọn baba wa, ìtìjú dé bá wa nítorí àwa ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ.
9 But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have departed from thee:
Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ní àánú, ó sì ń dáríjì, bí àwa tilẹ̀ ti ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí i;
10 And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
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.
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away from hearing thy voice, and the malediction, and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses the servant of God, is fallen upon us, because we have sinned against him.
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.
12 And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem.
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.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth.
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.
14 And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord our God is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice.
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.
15 And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name as at this day: we have sinned, we have committed iniquity,
“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.
16 O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city Jerusalem, and from thy holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people are a reproach to all that are round about us.
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.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for thy own sake.
“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.
18 Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies.
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.
19 O Lord, hear: O Lord, be appeased: hearken and do: delay not for thy own sake, O my God: because thy name is invocated upon thy city, and upon thy people.
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.”
20 Now while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people of Israel, and presenting my supplications in the sight of my God, for the holy mountain of my God:
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.
21 As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
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.
22 And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand.
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.
23 From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore do thou mark the word, and understand the vision.
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:
24 Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed.
“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.
25 Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times.
“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.
26 And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.
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.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fall: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.
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.”
