Daniel 9
1 Idet første Aar under Darius, Ahasverus's Søn, som var af Medernes Æt og var sat til Konge over Kaldæernes Rige,
In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldaeans;
2 i det første Aar, der han regerede, gav jeg, Daniel, i Bøgerne Agt paa Aarenes Tal, hvorom Herrens Ord var kommet til Profeten Jeremias, at nemlig halvfjerdsindstyve Aar skulde gaa hen over det ødelagte Jerusalem.
In the first year of his rule, I, Daniel, saw clearly from the books the number of years given by the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, in which the making waste of Jerusalem was to be complete, that is, seventy years.
3 Og jeg vendte mit Ansigt til Gud Herren for at søge Bøn og ydmyge Begæringer i Faste og Sæk og Aske.
And turning my face to the Lord God, I gave myself up to prayer, requesting his grace, going without food, in haircloth and dust.
4 Og jeg bad til Herren min Gud, og bekendte og sagde: Ak, Herre, du store og forfærdelige Gud, som bevarer Pagt og Miskundhed imod dem, som elske ham, og imod dem, som holde hans Bud!
And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;
5 Vi have syndet og gjort ilde, og have handlet ugudeligt og været genstridige, og vi ere vegne fra dine Bud og fra dine Love.
We are sinners, acting wrongly and doing evil; we have gone against you, turning away from your orders and from your laws:
6 Og vi hørte ikke paa dine Tjenere, Profeterne, som talte i dit Navn til vore Konger, vore Fyrster og vore Fædre og til alt Folket i Landet.
We have not given ear to your servants the prophets, who said words in your name to our kings and our rulers and our fathers and all the people of the land.
7 Herre! dig hører Retfærdighed til, men Ansigts Blusel, saaledes som paa denne Dag, er for os, for Judas-Mænd og Jerusalems Indbyggere og hele Israel, dem, som ere nær, og dem, som ere langt borte, i alle de Lande, hvorhen du har fordrevet dem for deres Troløsheds Skyld, som de have begaaet imod dig.
O Lord, righteousness is yours, but shame is on us, even to this day; and on the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and on all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off, in all the countries where you have sent them because of the sin which they have done against you.
8 Herre! Ansigts Blusel er for os, for vore Konger, for vare Fyrster og for vore Fædre, fordi vi have syndet imod dig.
O Lord, shame is on us, on our kings and our rulers and our fathers, because of our sin against you.
9 Hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Forladelse, thi vi have været genstridige imod ham,
With the Lord our God are mercies and forgiveness, for we have gone against him;
10 og vi have ikke hørt paa Herren vor Guds Røst, saa at vi vandrede i hans Love, som han gav for vort Ansigt ved sine Tjenere, Profeterne.
And have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God to go in the way of his laws which he put before us by the mouth of his servants the prophets.
11 Men al Israel har overtraadt din Lov og er afveget, idet de ikke hørte paa din Røst; derfor er der udøst over os den Forbandelse og den Ed, som er skrevet i Mose, Guds Tjeners, Lov; thi vi have syndet imod ham.
And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.
12 Og han har holdt sine Ord, som han talte over os og over vore Dommere, der dømte os, idet han lod en stor Ulykke komme over os, som ikke var sket under hele Himmelen, saaledes som den er sket i Jerusalem.
And he has given effect to his words which he said against us and against those who were our judges, by sending a great evil on us: for under all heaven there has not been done what has been done to Jerusalem.
13 Ligesom skrevet er i Moses Lov, saa er alt dette onde kommet over os; og vi have ikke formildet Herren vor Guds Ansigt ved at omvende os fra vore Misgerninger og blive forstandige i din Sandhed.
As it was recorded in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us: but we have made no prayer for grace from the Lord our God that we might be turned from our evil doings and come to true wisdom.
14 Derfor vaagede Herren over Ulykken og lod den komme over os; thi Herren vor Gud er retfærdig i alle sine Gerninger, som han gør, men vi havde ikke hørt paa hans Røst.
So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.
15 Og nu, Herre, vor Gud! du, som udførte dit Folk af Ægyptens Land med en stærk Haand og indlagde dig et Navn, som det er paa denne Dag, vi have syndet, vi have handlet ugudeligt.
And now, O Lord our God, who took your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and made a great name for yourself even to this day; we are sinners, we have done evil.
16 Herre! efter alle din Retfærdigheds Bevisninger, lad dog din Vrede og din Harme vende sig bort fra din Stad Jerusalem, dit hellige Bjerg; thi for vore Synders Skyld og for vore Fædres Misgerningers Skyld er Jerusalem og dit Folk blevet til Forhaanelse for alle dem, som ere trindt omkring os.
O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.
17 Og nu, vor Gud! hør din Tjeners Bøn og hans ydmyge Begæringer, og lad dit Ansigt lyse over din Helligdom, som er ødelagt, for Herrens Skyld.
And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.
18 Bøj dit Øre, min Gud! og hør, oplad dine Øjne, og se Ødelæggelserne, som ere komne over os og Staden, over hvilken dit Navn kaldes; thi vi nedlægge vore ydmyge Begæringer for dit Ansigt, ikke for vore retfærdige Gerningers Skyld, men for din store Barmhjertigheds Skyld.
O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.
19 Herre, hør! Herre, forlad! Herre, giv Agt og gør det! tøv ikke! for din Skyld, min Gud! thi dit Navn kaldes over din Stad og over dit Folk.
O Lord, give ear; O Lord, have forgiveness; O Lord, take note and do; let there be no more waiting; for the honour of your name, O my God, because your town and your people are named by your name.
20 Og der jeg endnu talte og bad og bekendte min Synd og mit Folk Israels Synd og nedlagde min ydmyge Begæring for Herrens, min Guds, Ansigt, for min Guds hellige Bjergs Skyld,
And while I was still saying these words in prayer, and putting my sins and the sins of my people Israel before the Lord, and requesting grace from the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21 ja, der jeg endnu talte i Bønnen, da kom den Mand, Gabriel, hvilken jeg havde set tilforn i et Syn, der jeg var aldeles afmægtig, hen til mig ved Aftens Madoffers Tid.
Even while I was still in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at first when my weariness was great, put his hand on me about the time of the evening offering.
22 Og han underviste mig og talte med mig og sagde: Daniel! nu er jeg udgangen for at meddele dig Indsigt.
And teaching me and talking to me he said, O Daniel, I have come now to give you wisdom.
23 Med Begyndelsen af dine ydmyge Begæringer udgik et Ord, og jeg er kommen for at kundgøre dig det, thi du er højlig elsket; saa agt da paa Ordet og giv Agt paa Synet!
At the first word of your prayer a word went out, and I have come to give you knowledge; for you are a man dearly loved: so give thought to the word and let the vision be clear to you.
24 Der er halvfjerdsindstyve Uger bestemte over dit Folk og over din hellige Stad til at hindre Overtrædelsen og til at forsegle Synder og til at sone Misgerning og til at bringe en evig Retfærdighed og til at forsegle Syn og Profet og til at salve et Allerhelligste.
Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.
25 Saa vid og forstaa: Fra den Tid, da Ordet udgaar om at genoprette og om at bygge Jerusalem, indtil en Salvet, en Fyrste, er der syv Uger; og i to og tresindstyve Uger skal den genoprettes og bygges i vid Udstrækning og efter bestemt Maal, men under Tidernes Trængsel.
Have then the certain knowledge that from the going out of the word for the building again of Jerusalem till the coming of a prince, on whom the holy oil has been put, will be seven weeks: in sixty-two weeks its building will be complete, with square and earthwork.
26 Men efter de to og tresindstyve Uger skal en Salvet udryddes, og der skal intet være for ham; og en kommende Fyrstes Folk skal ødelægge Staden og Helligdommen, og han skal ende i Oversvømmelsen, og indtil Enden skal der være Krig, og hvad der af Ødelæggelser er bestemt.
And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no...; and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.
27 Og han skal befæste en Pagt med de mange i den ene Uge; og i den halve Uge skal han bringe Slagtoffer og Madoffer til at ophøre, og paa Vederstyggelighedernes Vinger kommer Ødelæggeren, og det indtil Undergang og det besluttede Raad udgyder sig over den ødelagte.
And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.
