Daniel 9
1 Prve godine Darija, sina Artakserksova, iz roda Medijaca, koji vladaše kraljevstvom kaldejskim,
In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans —
2 prve dakle godine njegova kraljevanja, ja, Daniel, istraživah u Pismima broj godina koje se - prema riječi koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji - imaju ispuniti nad ruševinama Jeruzalema: sedamdeset godina.
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.
3 Ja obratih svoje lice prema Gospodinu Bogu nastojeći moliti se i zaklinjati u postu, kostrijeti i pepelu.
So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
4 Ja se moljah Jahvi, Bogu svome, priznavajući: “Ah, Gospodine moj, Bože veliki i strahoviti, koji čuvaš Savez i naklonost onima koji tebe ljube i čuvaju zapovijedi tvoje!
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,
5 Mi sagriješismo, mi bezakonje počinismo, zlo učinismo, odmetnusmo se i udaljismo od zapovijedi i naredaba tvojih.
we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.
6 Nismo slušali sluge tvoje, proroke koji govorahu u tvoje ime našim kraljevima, našim knezovima, našim očevima, svemu puku zemlje.
We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 U tebe je, Gospodine, pravednost, a u nas stid na obrazu, kao u ovaj dan, u nas Judejaca, Jeruzalemaca, svega Izraela, blizu i daleko, u svim zemljama kuda si ih rastjerao zbog nevjernosti kojom ti se iznevjeriše.
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.
8 Jahve, stid na obraz nama, našim kraljevima, našim knezovima, našim očevima, jer sagriješismo protiv tebe!
O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
9 U Gospoda je Boga našega smilovanje i oproštenje jer smo se odmetnuli od njega
To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
10 i nismo slušali glas Jahve, Boga našega, da slijedimo njegove zakone što nam ih dade po svojim slugama, prorocima.
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.
11 Sav je Izrael prestupio Zakon tvoj, odmetnuo se ne slušajući tvoj glas. Zato se na nas izlila kletva i prokletstvo, kako je zapisano u Zakonu Mojsija, sluge Božjega - jer sagriješismo protiv Njega.
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.
12 Izvršio je prijetnje kojima je zaprijetio nama i sucima koji su nam sudili: svalio je na nas tešku nesreću te se ne dogodi pod nebom što se dogodi u Jeruzalemu.
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.
13 Sva ova nesreća, kao što je zapisano u Zakonu Mojsijevu, došla je na nas, a mi nismo umilostivili lice Jahve, Boga svojega: nismo se obratili od svojih bezakonja pa da prionemo uz istinu tvoju.
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.
14 Jahve je bdio nad nesrećom, on je dovede na nas. Jer je pravedan Jahve, Bog naš, u svim djelima koja učini, a mi nismo slušali glas njegov.
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 A sada, Gospode, Bože naš, koji si moćnom svojom rukom izveo narod svoj iz zemlje egipatske - i time sebi stekao ime koje traje do danas: mi sagriješismo, mi zlo učinismo.
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.
16 Gospode, po svoj pravednosti svojoj odvrati svoj gnjev i svoju jarost od Jeruzalema, grada svojega, Svete gore svoje, jer zbog naših grijeha i zlodjela naših otaca Jeruzalem i tvoj narod ruglo su svima koji nas okružuju.”
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.
17 “A sada poslušaj, o Bože naš, molitvu sluge svoga i usrdne molbe njegove. Neka tvoje lice zasja nad svetištem tvojim opustošenim - zbog tebe, Gospode!
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.
18 Prikloni uho svoje, Bože moj, i slušaj! Otvori oči te pogledaj našu pustoš i grad koji se tvojim zove imenom! Jer mi te ne molimo zbog svoje pravednosti, već zbog velikih smilovanja tvojih.
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.
19 Gospode, čuj! Gospode, oprosti! Gospode, poslušaj i čini! Ne oklijevaj - zbog sebe, Bože moj, jer se tvojim imenom zove grad tvoj i narod tvoj!”
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 Ja sam još govorio, moleći se i priznavajući grijehe svoje i grijehe svog naroda Izraela i usrdno zaklinjući Jahvu, svoga Boga, za Svetu goru Boga svoga.
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—
21 Dok sam dakle ja još govorio moleći se, onaj čovjek Gabriel, koga vidjeh na početku viđenja, doletje u brzu letu, dotače me se u vrijeme večernjeg prinosa
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.
22 i pouči me: “Daniele, evo me: dođoh da te poučim.
He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.
23 Od početka tvoje molitve izišla je riječ, i ja dođoh da ti je navijestim. Ti si miljenik. Pazi dobro na riječ, razumij viđenje.”
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:
24 “Sedamdeset je sedmica određeno tvom narodu i tvom svetom gradu da se dokrajči opačina, da se stavi pečat grijehu, da se zadovolji za bezakonje, da se uvede vječna pravednost, da se stavi pečat viđenju i prorocima, da se pomaže Sveti nad svetima.
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.
25 Znaj i razumij: Od časa kad izađe riječ 'Neka se vrate i neka opet sagrade Jeruzalem' pa do Kneza Pomazanika: sedam sedmica, a onda šezdeset i dvije sedmice, i bit će opet sagrađeni trg i opkop, i to u teško vrijeme.
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.
26 A poslije šezdeset i dvije sedmice bit će Pomazanik pogubljen, ali ne za sebe. Narod jednog kneza koji će doći razorit će Grad i Svetište: svršetak im je u propasti, a do svršetka rat i određena pustošenja.
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.
27 I sklopit će savez s mnogima za jednu sedmicu: a u polovici sedmice prestat će žrtva i prinos: na vrhu Hrama bit će grozota pustoši sve do svršetka, dok se određeno pustošenje ne obori na pustošnika.”
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.”
