< 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 offspring of the Medes, who ruled over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
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 year one of his reign, I, Daniel, understood in the books the number of the years, concerning the word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah, the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would be completed in 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 I set my face to the Lord, my God, to ask and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
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 prayed to the Lord, my God, and I confessed, and I said, “I beg you, O Lord God, great and terrible, preserving the covenant and mercy for those who love you and keep your commandments.
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We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we acted impiously and have withdrawn, and we have turned aside from your commandments as well as your judgments.
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 obeyed your servants, the prophets, who have spoken in your name to our kings, our leaders, 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.
To you, O Lord, is justice, but to us is confusion of face, just as it is on this day for the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, for those who are near and those who are far off, in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of their iniquities by which they have sinned 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, to us belongs confusion of face: to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, who have sinned.
9 Hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Forladelse, thi vi have været genstridige imod ham,
But to you, the Lord our God, is mercy and atonement, for we have withdrawn from you,
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 we have not listened to the voice of the Lord, our God, so as to walk in his law, which he established for us by 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 has transgressed your law and has turned away, not listening to your voice, and so the condemnation and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses, servant of God, has rained down upon us, because we have sinned 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 fulfilled his words, which he has spoken over us and over our leaders who judged us, that he would lead over us a great evil, such as has never before existed under all of heaven, according to what has been done in 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.
Just as it has been written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us, and we did not entreat your face, O Lord our God, so that we might turn back from our iniquities and consider your truth.
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.
And the Lord kept watch over the evil and has led it over us; the Lord, our God, is just in all his works, which he has accomplished, for we have not listened 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 has led your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and has made yourself a name in accordance with this day: we have sinned, we have done wrong.
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, for all your righteousness, turn away, I beg you, your anger and your fury from your city, Jerusalem, and from your holy mountain. For, because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all who surround 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.
Now, therefore, heed, O God, the prayer of your servant and his requests, and reveal your face over your sanctuary, which is desolate, for your own sake.
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.
Incline your ear, O my God, and hear, open your eyes and see our desolation and the city over which your name is invoked. For it is not through our justifications that we offer requests before your face, but through the fullness of your compassion.
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.
Heed, O Lord. Be pleased, O Lord. Turn and act. Do not delay, for your own sake, O my God, because your name is invoked over your city and over your people.”
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 speaking and praying and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people, Israel, and offering my prayers in the sight of my God, on behalf of 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.
as I was still speaking in prayer, behold, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Og han underviste mig og talte med mig og sagde: Daniel! nu er jeg udgangen for at meddele dig Indsigt.
And he instructed me, and he spoke to me and said, “Now, Daniel, I have come forth to teach you and to help you understand.
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 beginning of your prayers, the message came forth, yet I have come to explain it to you because you are a man who is seeking. Therefore, you must pay close attention to the message and understand the vision.
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 of years are concentrated on your people and on your holy city, so that transgression shall be finished, and sin shall reach an end, and iniquity shall be wiped away, and so that everlasting justice shall be brought in, and vision and prophecy shall be fulfilled, and the Saint of saints shall be anointed.
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.
Therefore, know and take heed: from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again, until the Christ leader, there will be seven weeks of years, and sixty-two weeks of years; and the wide path will be built again, and the walls, in a time of anguish.
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 after sixty-two weeks of years, the Christ leader will be slain. And the people who have denied him will not be his. And the people, when their leader arrives, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will be devastation, and, after the end of the war, the desolation will be set up.
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.
But he will confirm a covenant with many for one week of years; and for half of the week of years, victim and sacrifice will nearly cease; but there will be in the temple the abomination of desolation. And the desolation will continue even to the consummation and the end.”
