Daniel 9 (MKW) · Opened

1«Na mvula ya ntete ya kintinu ya Dalyuse, mwana ya Zelezese, muntu ya dikanda ya Mede, yina ba byekaka ntinu ya yinsi ya kintinu ya bantu ya Babilone,In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—

2na mvula yina ya ntete, munu Danyele, mu vwandaka tanga mabuku samu na kuzaba mambu ya Yave. Mambu yina yandi zabisaka na mumbikudi Yelemya, na yina me tadila lutangu ya bamvula yina mbanza Yelusalemi fwana kuvwanda kaka ya kumwangana: bamvula makumi nsambwadi.in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the sacred books, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.

3Mu minaka nsoki. Mu lwataka ngoto mpe mu yobilaka bombi. Mu talisaka kizizi na sika ya Mfumu Nzambi, samu na kusambila mpe kubondila yandi.So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

4Mu sambilaka Yave Nzambi ya munu, samu na kufungula masumu: «Mfumu, Nzambi ya nene mpe ya nsisi, mulemvo ya nge. Nge yina ke kebaka ngwisani ya nge mpe ke tatamanaka na kulakisa bumbote ya nge na bayina ke zolaka nge mpe ke tumamaka na bantumunu ya nge.And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, “O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments,

5Beto me sala masumu, beto me sala mambu ya yimbi. Beto me lakisa ti beto kele bantu ya bantima ya yimbi. Beto me balukila nge. Beto me sadila ve bantumunu mpe bansalulu ya misiku ya nge.we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.

6Beto kuwaka ve mambu yina bisadi ya nge, mimbikudi zonzaka na nkumbu ya nge na sika ya bantinu ya beto, na sika ya bamfumu ya beto, na sika ya bankooko ya beto mpe na sika ya bantu nyonso ya yinsi.We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, fathers, and all the people of the land.

7Mfumu, nge ke na ludedomo, kasi beto, beto kele ya kufuluka na nsoni. Ni mutindu yina ya kele bubu yayi samu na bantu ya Yuda, bantu ya Yelusalemi, bantu nyonso ya Isayeli, bayina kele pene-pene mpe bayina kele ntama na bayinsi nyonso, bisika yina nge bingisaka bawu, samu na yimbi yina bawu salaka, na kumanga na kutumama na nge.To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You.

8Yave, nsoni ya kulutila samu na beto, beto na bantinu ya beto, bamfumu ya beto mpe bankooko ya beto, samu ti, beto me sumuka na ntadisi ya nge!O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.

9Ata ti beto me balukila nge, kasi nge Mfumu, Nzambi ya beto, nge ke talaka bantu kyadi mpe nge ke lemvokilaka.To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him

10Beto tumamaka ve na Yave, Nzambi ya beto, ntangu beto mangaka na kulanda misiku ya yandi, yina yandi pesaka beto, na nzila ya bisadi ya yandi, mimbikudi.and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

11Bantu nyonso ya Isayeli me tumama ve na Musiku ya nge. Bawu me kanga makutu na kumanga na kuwa nge. Ni yawu yina, samu na masumu yina beto salaka na ntadisi ya nge, beto me kuzwa bansingulu mpe masembo ya bandefi, mutindu ya kele ya kusonama na Musiku ya Moyize, kisadi ya Nzambi.All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.

12Nzambi, nge me lungisa mambu yina nge zonzaka samu na beto mpe samu na bamfumu yina vwandaka twadisa beto, na kusala ti bampasi ya nsisi kukumina beto. Bampasi yango yina me kubwa na Yelusalemi me salamaka ntete ve na yinza nyonso.You have carried out the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a great disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.

13Mutindu yawu kele ya kusonama na Musiku ya Moyize, bampasi nyonso yayi me kumina beto. Kasi beto bondilaka ve nge samu na kukulula nkele ya nge Yave, Nzambi ya beto. Beto bikaka ve na kusala yimbi. Beto salaka ve mayela ya kulanda butsyelika.Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.

14Yave, ni yawu yina nge me sala nyonso samu ti bampasi kukumina beto, samu ti Yave, Nzambi ya beto, nge kele ya kudedama na kati ya bansalulu ya nge nyonso. Kasi beto mangaka na kuwa ndinga ya nge.Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.

15«Na ntangu yayi, Mfumu, Nzambi ya beto, nge basisaka bantu ya nge na Ngipiti na ngolo mpe lulendo ya nge mpe nkumbu ya nge kumaka nsangu mutindu yawu kele bubu yayi. Kasi beto, beto me sala masumu, beto me sala yimbi.Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and who made for Yourself a name renowned to this day, we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.

16Mulemvo ya nge Mfumu, mutindu kele mambu yina nge ke salaka na ludedomo ya nge, katula nkele ya nge ya kulutila na Yelusalemi yina kele mbanza ya nge, mpe mongo ya nge ya longo, samu ti, samu na masumu ya beto mpe yimbi ya bankooko ya beto, bayinsi yina kele pene-pene na beto ke na kufinga Yelusalemi mpe bantu ya nge.O Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, I pray that Your anger and wrath may turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all around us.

17Na ntangu yayi, Nzambi ya beto, kuwa lusambulu munu mpe kubondila yina mu ke na kubondila nge, munu kisadi ya nge. Mfumu, ata samu na nge mosi, tala na bumbote ya nge nyonso Yinzo ya nge ya longo yina me mwangana.So now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine upon Your desolate sanctuary.

18Nzambi ya munu, fungula makutu mpe kuwa munu. Fungula meso mpe tala mutindu mbanza ya beto me mwangana, mbanza yayi yina kele ya nge. Kubondila yina beto ke na kubondila nge ke na kutuba ve ti beto ke na mavanga ya kudedama. Kasi yawu kele samu na kyadi ya nge ya kulutila.Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.

19Mfumu, kuwa beto! Mfumu, lemvokila beto! Mfumu kuwa beto mbote mpe sala. Nzambi ya munu kuvingila ve, samu ti mbanza yayi kele ya nge mpe bantu yayi kele ya nge.»O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”

20«Mu vwandaka ntete na kati ya lusambulu. Mu vwandaka fungula masumu ya munu mpe ya bantu ya Isayeli, bantu ya munu. Mpe mu vwandaka bondila Yave, Nzambi ya munu, samu na mongo ya longo ya Nzambi ya munu.While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—

21Kasi na ntangu mu vwandaka sambila, mbazi Ngabilyele yina mu talaka ntete na lumoni na kifwani ya muntu, kwizaka na sika ya munu na nswalu mutindu ndeke, na ngunga yina ba ke pesaka munkayulu ya nkokila.while I was still praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.

22Yandi lwengisaka munu mutindu yayi: “Danyele, ntangu yayi, mu me basika samu na kwiza pesa nge mayela.He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.

23Na ntangu nge bandaka na kubondila, Nzambi zonzaka dyambu. Mu me kwiza samu na kuzabisa nge yawu, samu ti nge kele ya kuzolakana. Zaba mbote dyambu yayi mpe kuzwa mayela ya kubakula nsasa ya lumoni yayi.At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:

24Ba me zenga balumingu makumi nsambwadi, samu na bantu ya nge mpe samu na mbanza ya nge yina kele ya longo. Yawu kele samu na kusukisa kondwa kutumama, na kusukisa masumu, mpe kukatula masumu. Ya kele samu ti ludedomo ya bantangu nyonso kusalama, samu ti lumoni mpe mbikululu kusalama, mpe samu ti ba byeka dyaka kisika ya kulutila longo.Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

25Nge fwana kuzaba mpe kubakula ti: katuka ntangu yina Nzambi zonzaka dyambu ya mvutukulu na Yelusalemi samu na kuyidika mpe kutunga dyaka Yelusalemi tii na ntangu yina mfumu yina ba byekaka ke kwiza, yawu ke sala balumingu nsambwadi. Na kati ya balumingu makumi sambanu na zole, mbanza mpe bibaka ya lukengolo ke tungama dyaka. Kasi yawu ke vwanda bantangu ya mpasi mingi.Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.

26Na manima ya balumingu makumi sambanu na zole yina, ba ke kufwa muntu mosi yina ba byekaka mpe ata muntu ke nwanina yandi. Na yina me tadila mbanza mpe Yinzo ya longo, bantu ya mfumu mosi ke kwiza mwangisa yawu. Kasi mfumu yango ke kufwa na lulendo ya nkele ya Nzambi. Tii na lufwa ya yandi, yandi ke nwana bamvita ya mwangusulu mutindu pesamaka nzengolo ya yawu.Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.

27Yandi ke kwika bantu mingi na kusala ngwisani ya lumingu mosi na yandi. Na kati-kati ya lumingu, yandi ke sala ti ba kupesaka dyaka ve minkayulu mpe makabu. Kimwangisi yina ke sala mambu ya yimbi mpe ya busafu tii ntangu mwangusulu yina Nzambi zengaka samu na kimwangisi ke kubwidila yandi.”»And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”
