但以理書 9
1 瑪待族的薛西斯的兒子達理阿作加塞色丁國的君王第一年，
In the firste yeer of Darius, the sone of Assuerus, of the seed of Medeis, that was emperour on the rewme of Caldeis,
2 在他為王元年，我達尼爾注意了經書中上主對耶肋米亞先知有關年數所說的話，即關於耶路撒冷的荒蕪應滿七十年的事。
in the firste yeer of his rewme, Y, Danyel, vndurstood in bookis the noumbre of yeeris, of which noumbre the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, the profete, that seuenti yeer of desolacioun of Jerusalem schulde be fillid.
3 我面向吾主天主，以祈禱、懇求、禁食、穿苦衣，頂灰塵，求問他。
And Y settide my face to my Lord God, to preie and to biseche in fastyngis, in sak, and aische.
4 我哀求上主我的天主而認罪說：「哎! 吾主，偉大可敬畏的天主! 你對那些愛你和遵守你誡命的人，必守約施恩。
And Y preiede my Lord God, and Y knoulechide, and seide, Y biseche, thou Lord God, greet and ferdful, kepynge couenaunt and mercy to hem that louen thee, and kepen thi comaundementis.
5 我們犯了罪，行了不義，作惡反叛，離棄了你的誡命和法令。
We han synned, we han do wickidnesse, we diden unfeithfuli, and yeden awei, and bowiden awei fro thi comaundementis and domes.
6 我們沒有聽從你的眾僕人先知，因你的名向我們的君王，我們的首長，我們的祖先，和全國人民所說的話。
We obeieden not to thi seruauntis, profetis, that spaken in thi name to oure kyngis, to oure princes, and to oure fadris, and to al the puple of the lond.
7 吾主，正義歸於你! 而滿面羞愧歸於我們，就如今日歸於猶大人民，歸於耶路撒冷的居民，歸於所有不忠於你而被你驅至各地或遠或近的以色列人一樣。
Lord, riytfulnesse is to thee, forsothe schenschipe of face is to vs, as is to dai to a man of Juda, and to the dwelleris of Jerusalem, and to al Israel, to these men that ben niy, and to these men that ben afer in alle londis, to which thou castidist hem out for the wickidnessis of hem, in whiche, Lord, thei synneden ayens thee.
8 吾主，滿面羞愧歸於我們，歸於我們的君王，歸於我們的首長以及我們的祖先，因為我們犯罪得罪了你，
Schame of face is to vs, to oure kyngis, to oure princes, and to oure fadris, that synneden;
9 然而慈悲和寬宥應歸於上主我們的天主，因為我們實在都背叛了他，
but merci and benygnytee is to thee, oure Lord God. For we yeden awei fro thee,
10 沒有聽從上主我們天主的勸告，也沒有遵行他藉自己的僕人眾先知，向我們所宣示的訓令。
and herden not the vois of oure Lord God, that we schulden go in the lawe of hym, whiche he settide to vs bi hise seruauntis, profetis.
11 以色列人實在全都違犯離棄了你的法律，沒有聽從你的聲音；因此，在天主的僕人梅瑟的法律上，所記載的咒罵和詛咒，都傾注在我們身上了，因為我們犯罪得罪了他，
And al Israel braken thi lawe, and bowiden awei, that thei herden not thi vois; and cursyng, and wlatyng, which is writun in the book of Moises, the seruaunt of God, droppide on vs, for we synneden to hym.
12 所以他履行了他對我們和管理我們的官長所說的話：使我們遭受了普天下從未遭受過像耶路撒冷所遭受的這樣大的災難，
And he ordeynede hise wordis, whiche he spak on vs, and on oure princes, that demyden vs, that thei schulden brynge in on vs greet yuel, what maner yuel was neuer vndur al heuene, bi that that is doon in Jerusalem,
13 全如梅瑟法律上所記載的。這一切災禍都降在我們身上，而我們仍不想平息上主我們天主的義怒，遠離我們的罪惡，明白你的真理；
as it is writun in the lawe of Moises. Al this yuel cam on vs, and, oure Lord God, we preieden not thi face, that we schulden turne ayen fro oure wickidnessis, and schulden thenke thi treuthe.
14 因此上主注視著災禍，好把它降在我們身上，因為上主我們的天主，在所行的一切作為上是正義的，只是我們仍未聽他的聲音。
And the Lord wakide on malice, and brouyt it on vs; oure Lord God is iust in alle his werkis whiche he made, for we herden not his vois.
15 吾主，我們的天主! 你曾以你強有力的手，領你的人民出了埃及地，而彰顯了你的名聲，有如今日；我們現今卻仍然犯罪作惡。
And now, Lord God, that leddist thi puple out of the lond of Egipt in strong hond, and madist to thee a name bi this dai, we han synnede,
16 吾主，求你照你所有的仁義，使你的忿怒和憤恨離開你的城耶路撒冷，即你的聖山；因為，由於我們的罪過和我們祖先的罪惡，耶路撒冷和你的人民已成了我們四鄰的笑柄。
we han do wickidnesse, Lord, ayens thi riytfulnesse. Y biseche, thi wraththe and thi stronge veniaunce be turned awey fro thi citee Jerusalem, and fro thi hooli hil; for whi for oure synnes, and for the wickidnessis of oure fadris, Jerusalem and thi puple ben in schenschipe, to alle men bi oure cumpas.
17 所以，現在，我們的天主! 願你俯聽你僕人的祈禱和哀求! 吾主，為了你自己的緣故，再以你的慈顏光照你現已荒涼的聖所。
But now, oure God, here thou the preyer of thi seruaunt, and the bisechyngis of him, and schewe thi face on thi seyntuarie, which is forsakun.
18 我的天主! 求你側耳俯聽，睜眼垂視我們的廢墟，和屬你名下的城市! 我們將我們的哀禱呈於你前，不是因我們的正義，而只是依賴你的大慈大悲。
My God, for thi silf boowe doun thin eere, and here; opene thin iyen, and se oure desolacioun, and the citee, on which thi name is clepid to help. For not in oure iustifiyngis we setten forth mekeli preiers bifor thi face, but in thi many merciful doyngis.
19 吾主，求你俯聽! 吾主，求你寬宥! 吾主，求你垂聽，迅速實行! 為了你自己的緣故，我的天主，你不要再遲延，因為你的城和你的人民，是屬你名下的。」
Lord, here thou; Lord, be thou plesid, perseyue thou, and do; my Lord God, tarie thou not, for thi silf, for thi name is clepid to help on the citee, and on thi puple.
20 我還在陳訴、祈禱和承認我罪及我人民以色列的罪，並為天主的聖山，將我的哀禱陳於上主我的天主面前時，
And whanne Y spak yit, and preiede, and knoulechide my synnes, and the synnes of my puple Israel, that Y schulde sette forth mekeli my preieris in the siyt of my God, for the hooli hil of my God,
21 即我還在祈禱傾訴之際，約在晚祭時，先前我在異象中所見的那似人的加俾額爾，急速再向我飛來；
the while Y spak yit in my preyer, lo! the man Gabriel, whom Y hadde seyn in visioun at the bigynnyng, flei soone, and touchide me in the tyme of euentid sacrifice;
22 他一來到，就對我說：「達尼爾! 我現在顯現出來，是為叫你完全明白，
and he tauyt me, and he spak to me, and seide, Danyel, now Y yede out, that Y schulde teche thee, and thou schuldist vndurstonde.
23 當你開始哀求時，便有話傳出，要我前來通知你，因為你是個極可愛的人；所以你應該注意這話，理解這異象! 」「
Fro the bigynnyng of thi preieris a word yede out. Forsothe Y cam to schewe to thee, for thou art a man of desiris; therfor perseyue thou the word, and vndurstonde thou the visioun.
24 關於你的人民，和你的聖城已注定了七十個星期，為終止過犯，為結束罪惡，為賠補不義，為帶來永遠的正義，為應驗神視和預言，為給至聖者傅油。
Seuenti woukis of yeeris ben abreggid on thi puple, and on thin hooli citee, that trespassyng be endid, and synne take an ende, and that wickidnesse be doon awei, and euerlastynge riytfulnesse be brouyt, and that the visioun, and prophesie be fillid, and the hooli of seyntis be anoyntid.
25 你應該知道，也應該明白：自從頒發重建耶路撒冷的命令，直到受傅的君王，共是七個星期；再經六十二個星期，城邑的廣場和溝渠，要重新建起來，且是在困難之時；
Therfor wite thou, and perseyue; fro the goyng out of the word, that Jerusalem be bildid eft, til to Crist, the duyk, schulen be seuene woukis of yeeris and two and sixti woukis of yeeris; and eft the street schal be bildid, and wallis, in the angwisch of tymes.
26 六十二個星期之後，一位受傅者雖然無罪，卻要被殺害，且那將要來臨的首領的民族要破壞這城和聖所，但他的結局是在洪流中；直到末期要有戰爭，及決定了的毀滅。
And after two and sixti woukis `of yeeris Crist schal be slayn. And it schal not be his puple, that schal denye hym. And the puple with the duyk to comynge schal distrie the citee, and the seyntuarie; and the ende therof schal be distriyng, and after the ende of batel schal be ordeynede desolacioun.
27 在一個星期內，他要使祭祀和供物停止，在聖所內要設立所招致荒涼的可憎之物，直到決定了的毀滅傾注在破壞者的身上。」
Forsothe o wouk `of yeeris schal conferme the couenaunt to many men, and the offryng and sacrifice schal faile in the myddis of the wouke of yeeris; and abhomynacioun of desolacioun schal be in the temple, and the desolacioun schal contynue til to the parformyng and ende.
