< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who hath been made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
Bara Daariyoos ilma Ahashweroos namicha Meedee kan mootummaa Kaldootaa irratti bulchaa taasifame sanaa keessa waggaa tokkoffaatti
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, have understood by books the number of the years, (in that a word of Jehovah hath been unto Jeremiah the prophet, ) concerning the fulfilling of the wastes of Jerusalem — seventy years;
bara mootummaa isaa keessa waggaa tokkoffaatti ani Daaniʼel dubbii Waaqayyoo kan Ermiyaas raajichaaf kenname irraa akka Yerusaalem waggaa torbaatamaaf ontee turtu kitaabota qulqulluu irraa nan hubadhe.
3 and I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Kanaafuu ani deebii barbaadee kadhannaa fi waammataan, soomaan, wayyaa gaddaa uffachuudhaa fi daaraa keessa taaʼuudhaan gara Waaqayyoo Gooftaatti nan deebiʼe.
4 And I pray to Jehovah my God, and confess, and say: 'I beseech Thee, O Lord God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands;
Anis Waaqayyo Waaqa kootti kadhannaa dhiʼeessee akkana jedheen cubbuu saba kootii himadhe: “Yaa Gooftaa, Waaqa guddaa fi akka malee sodaachisaa kan warra si jaallatanii ajaja kee eegan hundaaf kakuu jaalala keetii eegdu,
5 we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and rebelled, to turn aside from Thy commands, and from Thy judgments:
nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerras. Nu jalʼoota turre; fincilleerras; ajajaa fi seera kee irraa garagalleerra.
6 and we have not hearkened unto Thy servants, the prophets, who have spoken in Thy name unto our kings, our heads, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Nu tajaajiltoota kee raajota warra maqaa keetiin mootota keenyatti, ilmaan mootota keenyaatti, abbootii keenyaa fi saba lafaa hundatti dubbatan sana hin dhaggeeffanne.
7 'To Thee, O Lord, [is] the righteousness, and to us the shame of face, as [at] this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, in all the lands whither Thou hast driven them, in their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee.
“Yaa Gooftaa, ati qajeelaa dha; garuu nu namoonni Yihuudaa, sabni Yerusaalemii fi Israaʼel kanneen ati sababii amanamummaa dhabuu keenyaatiin biyyoota dhiʼoo fi fagoo keessa bittinneessite hundi harʼa qaaniidhaan haguugamneerra.
8 'O Lord, to us [is] the shame of face, to our kings, to our heads, and to our fathers, in that we have sinned against Thee.
Yaa Waaqayyo nuu fi mootonni keenya, ilmaan moototaatii fi abbootiin keenya waan cubbuu sitti hojjenneef qaaniidhaan haguugamneerra.
9 'To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him,
Yoo nu isatti fincillee jiraanne iyyuu Waaqni keenya Gooftichi araara qabeessa; dhiifamas namaaf godha;
10 and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in His laws, that He hath set before us by the hand of His servants the prophets;
nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf hin ajajamne yookaan seera isaa kan inni karaa tajaajiltoota isaa raajotaatiin nuuf kenne sana hin eegne.
11 and all Israel have transgressed Thy law, to turn aside so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and poured on us is the execration, and the oath, that is written in the law of Moses, servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.
Israaʼeloonni hundinuu siif ajajamuu diduudhaan seera kee cabsaniiru; sirraa garagalaniirus. “Kanaafuu sababii nu cubbuu sitti hojjenneef abaarsaa fi kakuun Seera Musee garbicha Waaqaa sanaa keessatti barreeffame nurratti dhangalaʼe.
12 'And He confirmeth His words that He hath spoken against us, and against our judges who have judged us, to bring in upon us great evil, in that it hath not been done under the whole heavens as it hath been done in Jerusalem,
Ati balaa guddaa nutti fiduudhaan dubbii nuu fi bulchitoota keenya irratti dubbatame sana raawwatteerta. Wanni akka waan Yerusaalem irratti taʼe sanaa takkumaa guutummaa samiitii gaditti taʼee hin beeku.
13 as it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil hath come upon us, and we have not appeased the face of Jehovah our God to turn back from our iniquities, and to act wisely in Thy truth.
Akkuma Seera Musee keessatti barreeffametti balaan kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼu iyyuu nu qalbii jijjiirrannee dhugaa duukaa buʼuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya irraa araara hin barbaanne.
14 And Jehovah doth watch for the evil, and bringeth it upon us, for righteous [is] Jehovah our God concerning all His works that He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
Waaqayyo balaa nutti fiduu irraa duubatti hin deebine; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya waan hojjetu hundaan qajeelaadhaatii; nu garuu isaaf hin ajajamne.
15 And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth Thy people from the land of Egypt by a strong hand, and dost make for Thee a name as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
“Egaa amma yaa Waaqa keenya Gooftaa, kan irree jabaadhaan saba kee biyya Gibxi baaftee akka maqaan kee akkuma harʼa jiru kana beekamu goote, nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerras.
16 'O Lord, according to all Thy righteous acts, let turn back, I pray Thee, Thine anger and Thy fury from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mount, for by our sins, and by the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people [are] for a reproach to all our neighbours;
Yaa Gooftaa, akkuma hojii kee qajeelaa sana hundaatti Yerusaalem magaalaa keetii fi gaara kee qulqulluu irraa aarii fi dheekkamsa kee deebisi. Cubbuun keenyaa fi balleessaan abbootii keenyaa namoota naannoo keenya jiraatan hunda biratti akka Yerusaalemii fi sabni kee waan kolfaa taʼan godheera.
17 and now, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, and cause Thy face to shine on Thy sanctuary that [is] desolate, for the Lord's sake.
“Egaa yaa Waaqa keenya, kadhannaa fi waammata garbicha keetii dhagaʼi. Yaa Gooftaa, ulfina keetiif jedhiitii fuula kee gara iddoo kee qulqulluu one sanaatti deebisi.
18 'Incline, O my God, Thine ear, and hear, open Thine eyes and see our desolations, and the city on which Thy name is called; for not for our righteous acts are we causing our supplications to fall before Thee, but for Thy mercies that [are] many.
Yaa Waaqa ko, gurra itti qabii dhagaʼi; ija kee banadhuutii badii keenyaa fi magaalaa Maqaan kee ittiin waamame sana ilaali. Nu utuu waaʼee qajeelummaa keenyaatiif hin taʼin sababii araara kee guddaa sanaatiif si kadhanna.
19 O lord, hear, O Lord, forgive; O Lord, attend and do; do not delay, for Thine own sake, O my God, for Thy name is called on Thy city, and on Thy people.'
Yaa Gooftaa dhaggeeffadhu! Yaa Gooftaa dhiifama nuu godhi! Yaa Gooftaa dhagaʼiitii waa hojjedhu! Yaa Waaqa ko, sababii magaalaan keetii fi sabni kee Maqaa keetiin waamamuuf ati hin turin.”
20 And while I am speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and causing my supplication to fall before Jehovah my God, for the holy mount of my God,
Utuu ani dubbichaa fi kadhachaa, cubbuu kootii fi cubbuu saba koo Israaʼel himachaa, tulluu isaa qulqulluufis Waaqayyo Waaqa koo gaafachaa jiruu,
21 yea, while I am speaking in prayer, then that one Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the commencement, being caused to fly swiftly, is coming unto me at the time of the evening present.
utuu ani amma illee kadhannaa irra jiruu, Gabriʼeel namichi ani mulʼata koo duraa keessatti arge sun, yeroo aarsaa galgalaatti ariitiidhaan barrisaa gara koo dhufe.
22 And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and saith, 'O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to consider understanding wisely;
Innis akkana jedhee na barsiise; akkanas naan jedhe; “Yaa Daaniʼel ani amma ogummaa fi hubannaa siif kennuuf dhufeera.
23 at the commencement of thy supplications hath the word come forth, and I have come to declare [it], for thou [art] greatly desired, and understand thou concerning the matter, and consider concerning the appearance.
Akkuma ati Waaqa kadhachuu jalqabdeen deebiin ani sitti himuuf dhufe kun siif kenname; ati akka malee jaalatamaadhaatii. Kanaafuu ergaa kana qalbeeffadhuutii mulʼata sana hubadhu:
24 'Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.
“Dogoggora hambisuuf, cubbuu balleessuuf, araara yakkaa buusuuf, qajeelummaa bara baraa fiduuf, mulʼataa fi raajii chaappaadhaan cufuuf, Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe sana dibuuf saba keetii fi magaalattii qulqulluu keetiif ‘torban’ torbaatamni labsameera.
25 And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.
“Waan kana beeki; hubadhus: Gaafa labsiin Yerusaalemin haaromsuu fi deebisanii ijaaruuf labsame kun baʼee jalqabee hamma Masiihichi, Bulchaan dhufutti ‘torban’ torbaatamaa fi torban jaatamii lama taʼa. Isheen daandiiwwanii fi dallaa wajjin ni haaromfamti; garuu wanni kun yeroo rakkinaa keessa taʼa.
26 And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood, and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations.
‘Torban’ jaatamii lama booddee Masiihichi ni ajjeefama; wanni tokko iyyuu isaaf hin hafu. Namoonni bulchaa dhufuuf jiru tokkoo magaalaa sanaa fi iddoo qulqulluu ni barbadeessu. Dhumnis akkuma lolaatti dhufa: Waraanni hamma dhumaatti itti fufa; badiisnis labsameera.
27 And he hath strengthened a covenant with many — one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.'
Bulchaan kunis ‘Torban’ tokkoof namoota baayʼee wajjin kakuu godhata; walakkaa ‘Torban’ sanaatti aarsaa fi kennaan akka hafu godha. Innis hamma wanni labsame sun isa irratti dhangalaʼutti waan xuraaʼaa badiisa fidu mana qulqullummaa gubbaa ni dhaaba.”
