Daniel 9
1. In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius
<1867 Dar<yavesh > the son <1121 ben > of Ahasuerus <0325
>Achashverowsh >, of the seed <2233 zera< > of the Medes <4074
Maday >, which <0834 >aher > was made king <4427 malak > over
<5921 <al > the realm <4438 malkuwth > of the Chaldeans <3778
Kasdiy >;
2 In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign
<4427 malak > I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > understood <0995 biyn >
by books <5612 cepher > the number <4557 micpar > of the years
<8141 shaneh >, whereof <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, that he would accomplish
<4390 male> > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > years <8141 shaneh > in
the desolations <2723 chorbah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim
>.
3 And I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > unto the Lord
<0136 >Adonay > God <0430 >elohiym >, to seek <1245 baqash > by
prayer <8605 t@phillah > and supplications <8469 tachanuwn >,
with fasting <6685 tsowm >, and sackcloth <8242 saq >, and ashes
<0665 >epher >:
4. And I prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my
God <0430 >elohiym >, and made my confession <3034 yadah >, and
said <0559 >amar >, O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, the great <1419
gadowl > and dreadful <3372 yare> > God <0410 >el >, keeping
<8104 shamar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy <2617
checed > to them that love <0157 >ahab > him, and to them that
keep <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >;
5 We have sinned <2398 chata> >, and have committed <5753 <avah
> iniquity <5753 <avah >, and have done wickedly <7561 rasha< >,
and have rebelled <4775 marad >, even by departing <5493 cuwr >
from thy precepts <4687 mitsvah > and from thy judgments <4941
mishpat >:
6 Neither <3808 lo> > have we hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thy
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, which <0834
>aher > spake <1696 dabar > in thy name <8034 shem > to our
kings <4428 melek >, our princes <8269 sar >, and our fathers
<1>, and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land
<0776 >erets >.
7 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >
[belongeth] unto thee, but unto us confusion <1322 bosheth > of
faces <6440 paniym >, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >;
to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,
and unto all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that are]
near <7138 qarowb >, and [that are] far <7350 rachowq > off,
through all <3605 kol > the countries <0776 >erets > whither
thou hast driven <5080 nadach > them, because of their trespass
<4604 ma<al > that they have trespassed <4603 ma<al > against
thee.
8 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, to us [belongeth] confusion <1322
bosheth > of face <6440 paniym >, to our kings <4428 melek >, to
our princes <8269 sar >, and to our fathers <1>, because <0834
>aher > we have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee.
9 To the Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 >elohiym > [belong]
mercies <7356 racham > and forgivenesses <5547 c@liychah >,
though <3588 kiy > we have rebelled <4775 marad > against him;
10 Neither <3808 lo> > have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice
<6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym
>, to walk <3212 yalak > in his laws <8451 towrah >, which <0834
>aher > he set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > us by his
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.
11 Yea, all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have
transgressed <5674 <abar > thy law <8451 towrah >, even by
departing <5493 cuwr >, that they might not obey <8085 shama< >
thy voice <6963 qowl >; therefore the curse <0423 >alah > is
poured <5413 nathak > upon us, and the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah >
that [is] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of
Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of God <0430
>elohiym >, because <3588 kiy > we have sinned <2398 chata> >
against him.
12 And he hath confirmed <6965 quwm > his words <1697 dabar >,
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al >
us, and against <5921 <al > our judges <8199 shaphat > that
judged <8199 shaphat > us, by bringing <0935 bow> > upon us a
great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< >: for under <8478 tachath >
the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > hath not been done
as hath been done <6213 <asah > upon Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >.
13 As [it is] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah >
of Moses <4872 Mosheh >, all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil
<7451 ra< > is come <0935 bow> > upon us: yet made we not our
prayer <2470 chalah > before the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God
<0430 >elohiym >, that we might turn <7725 shuwb > from our
iniquities <5771 <avon >, and understand <7919 sakal > thy truth
<0571 >emeth >.
14 Therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > watched <8245 shaqad
> upon the evil <7451 ra< >, and brought <0935 bow> > it upon us:
for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > [is]
righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > in all <3605 kol > his works <4639
ma<aseh > which <0834 >aher > he doeth <6213 <asah >: for we
obeyed <8085 shama< > not his voice <6963 qowl >.
15 And now <6258 <attah >, O Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430
>elohiym >, that hast brought <3318 yatsa> > thy people <5971
<am > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with a mighty <2389 chazaq > hand <3027
yad >, and hast gotten <6213 <asah > thee renown <8034 shem >,
as at this day <3117 yowm >; we have sinned <2398 chata> >, we
have done wickedly <7561 rasha< >.
16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, according to all <3605 kol > thy
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, let
thine anger <0639 >aph > and thy fury <2534 chemah > be turned
<7725 shuwb > away from thy city <5892 <iyr > Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, thy holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har >:
because <3588 kiy > for our sins <2399 chet> >, and for the
iniquities <5771 <avon > of our fathers <1>, Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > and thy people <5971 <am > [are become] a
reproach <2781 cherpah > to all <3605 kol > [that are] about
<5439 cabiyb > us.
17 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O our God <0430 >elohiym >,
hear <8085 shama< > the prayer <8605 t@phillah > of thy servant
<5650 <ebed >, and his supplications <8469 tachanuwn >, and
cause thy face <6440 paniym > to shine <0215 >owr > upon thy
sanctuary <4720 miqdash > that is desolate <8074 shamem >, for
the Lord's <0136 >Adonay > sake <4616 ma<an >.
18 O my God <0430 >elohiym >, incline <5186 natah > thine ear
<0241 >ozen >, and hear <8085 shama< >; open <6491 paqach >
thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and behold <7200 ra>ah > our
desolations <8074 shamem >, and the city <5892 <iyr > which
<0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >:
for we do not present <5307 naphal > our supplications <8469
tachanuwn > before <6440 paniym > thee for our righteousnesses
<6666 ts@daqah >, but for thy great <7227 rab > mercies <7356
racham >.
19 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, hear <8085 shama< >; O Lord <0136
>Adonay >, forgive <5545 calach >; O Lord <0136 >Adonay >,
hearken <7181 qashab > and do <6213 <asah >; defer <0309 >achar
> not, for thine own sake <4616 ma<an >, O my God <0430 >elohiym
>: for thy city <5892 <iyr > and thy people <5971 <am > are
called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >.
20. And whiles <5750 <owd > I [was] speaking <1696 dabar >, and
praying <6419 palal >, and confessing <3034 yadah > my sin <2403
chatta>ah > and the sin <2403 chatta>ah > of my people <5971 <am
> Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and presenting <5307 naphal > my
supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 paniym > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > for the holy <6944
qodesh > mountain <2022 har > of my God <0430 >elohiym >;
21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <1696 dabar > in prayer <8605
t@phillah >, even the man <0376 >iysh > Gabriel <1403 Gabriy>el
>, whom <0834 >aher > I had seen <7200 ra>ah > in the vision
<2377 chazown > at the beginning <8462 t@chillah >, being caused
to fly <3286 ya<aph > swiftly <3288 y@aph >, touched <5060 naga<
> me about the time <6256 <eth > of the evening <6153 <ereb >
oblation <4503 minchah >.
22 And he informed <0995 biyn > [me], and talked <1696 dabar >
with me, and said <0559 >amar >, O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, I am
now <6258 <attah > come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to
give thee skill <7919 sakal > and understanding <0998 biynah >.
23 At the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of thy supplications
<8469 tachanuwn > the commandment <1697 dabar > came <3318
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and I am come <0935 bow> > to
shew <5046 nagad > [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved <2530
chamad >: therefore understand <0995 biyn > the matter <1697
dabar >, and consider <0995 biyn > the vision <2377 chazown >.
24 Seventy <7657 shib<iym. > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > are
determined <2852 chathak > upon thy people <5971 <am > and upon
thy holy <6944 qodesh > city <5892 <iyr >, to finish <3607 kala>
> the transgression <6588 pesha< >, and to make an end <2856
chatham > of sins <2403 chatta>ah >, and to make reconciliation
<3722 kaphar > for iniquity <5771 <avon >, and to bring <0935
bow> > in everlasting <5769 <owlam > righteousness <6664 tsedeq
>, and to seal <2856 chatham > up the vision <2377 chazown > and
prophecy <5030 nabiy> >, and to anoint <4886 mashach > the most
<6944 qodesh > Holy <6944 qodesh >.
25 Know <3045 yada< > therefore and understand <7919 sakal >,
[that] from the going <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > of
the commandment <1697 dabar > to restore <7725 shuwb > and to
build <1129 banah > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto the
Messiah <4899 mashiyach > the Prince <5057 nagiyd > [shall be]
seven <7651 sheba< > weeks <7620 shabuwa< >, and threescore
<8346 shishshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa<
>: the street <7339 r@chob > shall be built <1129 banah > again
<7725 shuwb >, and the wall <2742 charuwts >, even in troublous
<5916 <akar > times <6256 <eth >.
26 And after <0310 >achar > threescore <8346 shishshiym > and
two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > shall Messiah <4899
mashiyach > be cut <3772 karath > off, but not for himself: and
the people <5971 <am > of the prince <5057 nagiyd > that shall
come <0935 bow> > shall destroy <7843 shachath > the city <5892
<iyr > and the sanctuary <6944 qodesh >; and the end <7093 qets
> thereof [shall be] with a flood <7858 sheteph >, and unto the
end <7093 qets > of the war <4421 milchamah > desolations <8074
shamem > are determined <2782 charats >.
27 And he shall confirm <1396 gabar > the covenant <1285
b@riyth > with many <7227 rab > for one <0259 >echad > week
<7620 shabuwa< >: and in the midst <2677 chetsiy > of the week
<7620 shabuwa< > he shall cause the sacrifice <2077 zebach > and
the oblation <4503 minchah > to cease <7673 shabath >, and for
the overspreading <3671 kanaph > of abominations <8251 shiqquwts
> he shall make [it] desolate <8074 shamem >, even until <5704
<ad > the consummation <3617 kalah >, and that determined <2782
charats > shall be poured <5413 nathak > upon the desolate <8076
shamem >.
