Daniel 9 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, who was of Median descent and who had been appointed king over the Babylonian empire—
2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, came to understand from the sacred books that, according to the word of the LORD disclosed to the prophet Jeremiah, the years for the fulfilling of the desolation of Jerusalem were seventy in number.
3 So I turned my attention to the Lord God to implore him by prayer and requests, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
4 I prayed to the LORD my God, confessing in this way: "O Lord, great and awesome God who is faithful to his covenant with those who love him and keep his commandments,
5 we have sinned! We have done what is wrong and wicked; we have rebelled by turning away from your commandments and standards.
6 We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets, who spoke by your authority to our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors, and to all the inhabitants of the land as well.
7 "You are righteous, O Lord, but we are humiliated this day— the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.
8 O LORD, we have been humiliated— our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors— because we have sinned against you.
9 Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.
10 We have not obeyed the LORD our God by living according to his laws that he set before us through his servants the prophets.
11 "All Israel has broken your law and turned away by not obeying you. Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.
12 He has carried out his threats against us and our rulers who were over us by bringing great calamity on us— what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!
13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom from your reliable moral standards.
14 The LORD was mindful of the calamity, and he brought it on us. For the LORD our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed him.
15 "Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with great power and made a name for yourself that is remembered to this day— we have sinned and behaved wickedly.
16 O Lord, according to all your justice, please turn your raging anger away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. For due to our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
17 "So now, our God, accept the prayer and requests of your servant, and show favor to your devastated sanctuary for your own sake.
18 Listen attentively, my God, and hear! Open your eyes and look on our desolated ruins and the city called by your name. For it is not because of our own righteous deeds that we are praying to you, but because your compassion is abundant.
19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, pay attention, and act! Don't delay, for your own sake, O my God! For your city and your people are called by your name."
20 While I was still speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and presenting my request before the LORD my God concerning his holy mountain—
21 yes, while I was still praying, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen previously in a vision, was approaching me in my state of extreme weariness, around the time of the evening offering.
22 He spoke with me, instructing me as follows: "Daniel, I have now come to impart understanding to you.
23 At the beginning of your requests a message went out, and I have come to convey it to you, for you are of great value in God's sight. Therefore consider the message and understand the vision:
24 "Seventy weeks have been determined concerning your people and your holy city to put an end to rebellion, to bring sin to completion, to atone for iniquity, to bring in perpetual righteousness, to seal up the prophetic vision, and to anoint a most holy place.
25 So know and understand: From the issuing of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until an anointed one, a prince arrives, there will be a period of seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will again be built, with plaza and moat, but in distressful times.
26 Now after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one will be cut off and have nothing. As for the city and the sanctuary, the people of the coming prince will destroy them. But his end will come speedily like a flood. Until the end of the war that has been decreed there will be destruction.
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. But in the middle of that week he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt. On the wing of abominations will come one who destroys, until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys."
1 In the first H259 OFS year H8141 B-CFS of Darius H1867 L-NAME the son H1121 of Ahasuerus H325 , of the seed H2233 of the Medes H4074 , which H834 RPRO was made king H4427 over H5921 PREP the realm H4438 CFP of the Chaldeans H3778 LMP ;
2 In the first H259 OFS year H8141 B-CFS of his reign H4427 I H589 PPRO-1MS Daniel H1840 understood H995 by books H5612 the number H4557 CMS of the years H8141 B-CFS , whereof H834 RPRO the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 VQQ3MS to H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , that he would accomplish H4390 seventy H7657 ONUM years H8141 B-CFS in the desolations H2723 of Jerusalem H3389 .
3 And I set H5414 my face H6440 NMP-1MS unto H413 PREP the Lord H136 EDS God H430 D-NAME-4MP , to seek H1245 by prayer H8605 and supplications H8469 , with fasting H6685 , and sackcloth H8242 , and ashes H665 W-NMS :
4 And I prayed H6419 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS my God H430 , and made my confession H3034 , and said H559 , O H577 Lord H136 EDS , the great H1419 D-AMS and dreadful H3372 God H410 , keeping H8104 the covenant H1285 D-NFS and mercy H2617 to them that love H157 him , and to them that keep H8104 his commandments H4687 ;
5 We have sinned H2398 , and have committed iniquity H5753 , and have done wickedly H7561 , and have rebelled H4775 , even by departing H5493 from thy precepts H4687 and from thy judgments H4941 :
6 Neither H3808 W-NPAR have we hearkened H8085 VQQ1MP unto H413 PREP thy servants H5650 the prophets H5030 , which H834 RPRO spoke H1696 in thy name H8034 to H413 PREP our kings H4428 , our princes H8269 , and our fathers H1 , and to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 NMS of the land H776 D-GFS .
7 O Lord H136 EDS , righteousness H6666 belongeth unto thee , but unto us confusion H1322 of faces H6440 , as at this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 ; to the men H376 L-NMS of Judah H3063 , and to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , and unto all H3605 WL-CMS Israel H3478 , that are near H7138 , and that are far off H7350 , through all H3605 B-CMS the countries H776 whither H834 RPRO thou hast driven H5080 them , because of their trespass H4604 that H834 RPRO they have trespassed H4603 against thee .
8 O Lord H3068 EDS , to us belongeth confusion H1322 of face H6440 , to our kings H4428 , to our princes H8269 , and to our fathers H1 , because H834 RPRO we have sinned H2398 against thee .
9 To the Lord H136 our God H430 belong mercies H7356 and forgivenesses H5547 , though H3588 CONJ we have rebelled H4775 against him ;
10 Neither H3808 W-NPAR have we obeyed H8085 VQQ1MP the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 , to walk H1980 L-VQFC in his laws H8451 , which H834 RPRO he set H5414 VQQ3MS before H6440 us by H3027 B-CFS his servants H5650 the prophets H5030 .
11 Yea , all H3605 W-CMS Israel H3478 have transgressed H5674 thy law H8451 B-CFS , even by departing H5493 , that they might not H1115 L-NPAR obey H8085 thy voice H6963 ; therefore the curse H423 is poured H5413 upon H5921 PREP-1MP us , and the oath H7621 that H834 RPRO is written H3789 in the law H8451 B-CFS of Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of God H430 D-NAME-4MP , because H3588 CONJ we have sinned H2398 against him .
12 And he hath confirmed H6965 his words H1697 , which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS against H5921 PREP-1MP us , and against H5921 W-PREP our judges H8199 that H834 RPRO judged H8199 us , by bringing H935 L-VHFC upon H5921 PREP-1MP us a great H1419 evil H7451 AFS : for H834 RPRO under H8478 NMS the whole H3605 NMS heaven H8064 D-NMD hath not H3808 ADV been done H6213 as H834 RPRO hath been done H6213 upon Jerusalem H3389 .
13 As H834 K-RPRO it is written H3789 in the law H8451 B-CFS of Moses H4872 , all H3605 NMS this H2063 D-DFS evil H7451 D-AFS is come H935 VQQ3FS upon H5921 PREP-1MP us : yet made we not our prayer H2470 before H6440 CMP the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 , that we might turn H7725 from our iniquities H5771 , and understand H7919 thy truth H571 .
14 Therefore hath the LORD H3068 EDS watched H8245 upon H5921 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS , and brought H935 it upon H5921 PREP us : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 is righteous H6662 AMS in H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS his works H4639 which H834 RPRO he doeth H6213 VQQ3MS : for we obeyed H8085 VQQ1MP not H3808 W-NPAR his voice H6963 .
15 And now H6258 W-ADV , O Lord H136 EDS our God H430 , that H834 RPRO hast brought thy people forth out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 EFS with a mighty H2389 hand H3027 , and hast gotten H6213 thee renown H8034 CMS , as at this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 ; we have sinned H2398 , we have done wickedly H7561 .
16 O Lord H136 EDS , according to all H3605 thy righteousness H6666 , I beseech thee H4994 IJEC , let thine anger H639 and thy fury H2534 be turned away H7725 from thy city H5892 Jerusalem H3389 , thy holy H6944 mountain H2022 CMS : because H3588 CONJ for our sins H2399 , and for the iniquities H5771 of our fathers H1 , Jerusalem H3389 and thy people H5971 are become a reproach H2781 to all H3605 L-CMS that are about H5439 us .
17 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , O our God H430 , hear H8085 VQI2MS the prayer H8605 of thy servant H5650 , and his supplications H8469 , and cause thy face H6440 CMP-2MS to shine H215 upon H5921 PREP thy sanctuary H4720 that is desolate H8076 , for the Lord\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ .
18 O my God H430 , incline H5186 thine ear H241 , and hear H8085 ; open H6491 thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS , and behold H7200 W-VQI2MS our desolations H8074 , and the city H5892 which H834 RPRO is called H7121 by H5921 PREP thy name H8034 : for H3588 CONJ we H587 PPRO-1MP do not H3808 NPAR present H5307 our supplications H8469 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee for H5921 PREP our righteousnesses H6666 , but H3588 CONJ for H5921 PREP thy great H7227 mercies H7356 .
19 O Lord H136 EDS , hear H8085 ; O Lord H136 EDS , forgive H5545 ; O Lord H136 EDS , hearken H7181 and do H6213 ; defer H309 not H408 NPAR , for thine own sake H4616 , O my God H430 : for H3588 CONJ thy city H5892 and thy people H5971 are called H7121 by thy name H8034 .
20 And while H5750 W-ADV I H589 PPRO-1MS was speaking H1696 VPPMS , and praying H6419 , and confessing H3034 my sin H2403 and the sin H2403 of my people H5971 Israel H3478 , and presenting H5307 my supplication H8467 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS my God H430 for H5921 PREP the holy H6944 mountain H2022 CMS of my God H430 CMP-1MS ;
21 Yea , while H5750 W-ADV I H589 PPRO-1MS was speaking H1696 VPPMS in prayer H8605 , even the man H376 Gabriel H1403 , whom H834 RPRO I had seen H7200 VQQ1MS in the vision H2377 at the beginning H8462 BD-NFS , being caused to fly H3286 swiftly H3288 , touched H5060 me about the time H6256 of the evening H6153 oblation H4503 .
22 And he informed H995 me , and talked H1696 W-VPY3MS with H5973 me , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , O Daniel H1840 , I am now H6258 ADV come forth H3318 VQPFS-1MS to give thee skill H7919 and understanding H998 NFS .
23 At the beginning H8462 of thy supplications H8469 the commandment H1697 NMS came forth H3318 VQQ3MS , and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS am come H935 to show H5046 L-VHFC thee ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art greatly beloved H2530 : therefore understand H995 the matter H1697 , and consider H995 the vision H2377 .
24 Seventy H7657 ONUM weeks H7620 are determined H2852 upon H5921 PREP thy people H5971 and upon H5921 W-PREP thy holy H6944 city H5892 GFS , to finish H3607 the transgression H6588 , and to make an end H2856 of sins H2403 , and to make reconciliation H3722 for iniquity H5771 NMS , and to bring in H935 everlasting H5769 righteousness H6664 NMS , and to seal up H2856 the vision H2377 and prophecy H5030 , and to anoint H4886 the most Holy H6944 .
25 Know H3045 therefore and understand H7919 , that from H4480 PREP the going forth H4161 CMS of the commandment H1697 NMS to restore H7725 L-VHFC and to build H1129 Jerusalem H3389 unto H5704 PREP the Messiah H4899 the Prince H5057 NMS shall be seven H7651 NUM-MS weeks H7620 , and threescore H8346 and two H8147 weeks H7620 : the street H7339 shall be built H1129 again H7725 VQY2MS , and the wall H2742 , even in troublous H6695 times H6256 .
26 And after H310 threescore H8346 and two H8147 weeks H7620 shall Messiah H4899 be cut off H3772 VNI3MS , but not H369 W-NPAR for himself : and the people H5971 NMS of the prince H5057 NMS that shall come H935 shall destroy H7843 the city H5892 and the sanctuary H6944 ; and the end H7093 thereof shall be with a flood H7858 , and unto H5704 W-PREP the end H7093 RMS of the war H4421 NFS desolations H8074 are determined H2782 .
27 And he shall confirm H1396 the covenant H1285 NFS with many H7227 for one H259 MMS week H7620 : and in the midst H2677 of the week H7620 he shall cause the sacrifice H2077 NMS and the oblation H4503 to cease H7673 , and for H5921 PREP the overspreading H3671 CFS of abominations H8251 he shall make it desolate H8074 , even until H5704 W-PREP the consummation H3617 , and that determined H2782 shall be poured H5413 upon H5921 PREP the desolate H8076 .
