< 但以理书 9 >
1 米底亚族亚哈随鲁的儿子大流士立为迦勒底国的王元年,
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,
2 就是他在位第一年,我—但以理从书上得知耶和华的话临到先知耶利米,论耶路撒冷荒凉的年数,七十年为满。
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;
and I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 我向耶和华—我的 神祈祷、认罪,说:“主啊,大而可畏的 神,向爱主、守主诫命的人守约施慈爱。
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;
we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and rebelled, to turn aside from Thy commands, and from Thy judgments:
6 没有听从你仆人众先知奉你名向我们君王、首领、列祖,和国中一切百姓所说的话。
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.
7 主啊,你是公义的,我们是脸上蒙羞的;因我们犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民,并以色列众人,或在近处,或在远处,被你赶到各国的人,都得罪了你,正如今日一样。
'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.
8 主啊,我们和我们的君王、首领、列祖因得罪了你,就都脸上蒙羞。
'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.
9 主—我们的 神是怜悯饶恕人的,我们却违背了他,
'To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him,
10 也没有听从耶和华—我们 神的话,没有遵行他借仆人众先知向我们所陈明的律法。
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;
11 以色列众人都犯了你的律法,偏行,不听从你的话;因此,在你仆人摩西律法上所写的咒诅和誓言都倾在我们身上,因我们得罪了 神。
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.
12 他使大灾祸临到我们,成就了警戒我们和审判我们官长的话;原来在普天之下未曾行过像在耶路撒冷所行的。
'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,
13 这一切灾祸临到我们身上是照摩西律法上所写的,我们却没有求耶和华—我们 神的恩典,使我们回头离开罪孽,明白你的真理。
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.
14 所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上,因为耶和华—我们的 神在他所行的事上都是公义;我们并没有听从他的话。
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.
15 主—我们的 神啊,你曾用大能的手领你的子民出埃及地,使自己得了名,正如今日一样。我们犯了罪,作了恶。
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.
16 主啊,求你按你的大仁大义,使你的怒气和忿怒转离你的城耶路撒冷,就是你的圣山。耶路撒冷和你的子民,因我们的罪恶和我们列祖的罪孽被四围的人羞辱。
'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;
17 我们的 神啊,现在求你垂听仆人的祈祷恳求,为自己使脸光照你荒凉的圣所。
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.
18 我的 神啊,求你侧耳而听,睁眼而看,眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为你名下的城。我们在你面前恳求,原不是因自己的义,乃因你的大怜悯。
'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.
19 求主垂听,求主赦免,求主应允而行,为你自己不要迟延。我的 神啊,因这城和这民都是称为你名下的。”
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.'
20 我说话,祷告,承认我的罪和本国之民以色列的罪,为我 神的圣山,在耶和华—我 神面前恳求。
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,
21 我正祷告的时候,先前在异象中所见的那位加百列,奉命迅速飞来,约在献晚祭的时候,按手在我身上。
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.
22 他指教我说:“但以理啊,现在我出来要使你有智慧,有聪明。
And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and saith, 'O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to consider understanding wisely;
23 你初恳求的时候,就发出命令,我来告诉你,因你大蒙眷爱;所以你要思想明白这以下的事和异象。
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.
24 “为你本国之民和你圣城,已经定了七十个七。要止住罪过,除净罪恶,赎尽罪孽,引进永义,封住异象和预言,并膏至圣者。
'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.
25 你当知道,当明白,从出令重新建造耶路撒冷,直到有受膏君的时候,必有七个七和六十二个七。正在艰难的时候,耶路撒冷城连街带濠都必重新建造。
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.
26 过了六十二个七,那受膏者必被剪除,一无所有;必有一王的民来毁灭这城和圣所,至终必如洪水冲没。必有争战,一直到底,荒凉的事已经定了。
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.
27 一七之内,他必与许多人坚定盟约;一七之半,他必使祭祀与供献止息。那行毁坏可憎的如飞而来,并且有忿怒倾在那行毁坏的身上,直到所定的结局。”
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.'
