Daniel 9
1 I Darius's, Ahasverus's Søns, første Regeringsaar, han, som var af medisk Byrd og var blevet Konge over Kaldæernes Rige,
In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
2 i hans første Regeringsaar lagde jeg, Daniel, i Skrifterne Mærke til det Aaremaal, i hvilket Jerusalem efter HERRENS Ord til Profeten Jeremias skulde ligge i Grus, halvfjerdsindstyve Aar.
I Daniel understood by books the number of the years which was the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremias, [even] seventy years for the accomplishment of the desolation of Jerusalem.
3 Jeg vendte mit Ansigt til Gud Herren for at fremføre Bøn og Begæring under Faste i Sæk og Aske.
And I set my face towards the Lord God, to seek [him] diligently by prayer and supplications, with fastings and sackcloth.
4 Og jeg bad til HERREN min Gud, bekendte og sagde: »Ak, Herre, du store, forfærdelige Gud, som holder fast ved Pagten og Miskundheden mod dem, der elsker dig og holder dine Bud!
And I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, and said, O Lord, the great and wonderful God, keeping your covenant and your mercy to them that love you, and to them that keep your commandments; we have sinned,
5 Vi har syndet og handlet ilde, været gudløse og genstridige; vi veg fra dine Bud og Vedtægter
we have done iniquity, we have transgressed, and we have departed and turned aside from your commandments and from your judgements:
6 og hørte ikke paa dine Tjenere Profeterne, som talte i dit Navn til vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre og til alt Folket i Landet.
and we have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, and our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 Du staar med Retten, Herre, vi med vort Ansigts Blusel, som det nu viser sig, vi Judas Mænd, Jerusalems Borgere, ja alt Israel fjernt og nær i alle Lande, hvor du drev dem hen for deres Troløshed imod dig.
To you, O Lord, [belongs] righteousness, an to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the earth, wherever you has scattered them, for the sin which they committed.
8 Herre, vi staar med vort Ansigts Blusel, vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre, fordi vi syndede imod dig.
In you, O Lord, is our righteousness, and to us [belongs] confusion of faced, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our fathers, forasmuch as we have sinned.
9 Men hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Tilgivelse, thi vi stod ham imod
To you, the Lord our God, [belong] compassions and forgivenesses, whereas we have departed [from you];
10 og adlød ikke HERREN vor Guds Røst, saa vi fulgte hans Love, som han forelagde os ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
neither have we listened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by the hands of his servants the prophets.
11 Nej, hele Israel overtraadte din Lov og faldt fra, ulydige mod din Røst; saa udøste den svorne Forbandelse, som staar skrevet i Guds Tjener Moses's Lov, sig over os, thi vi syndede imod ham;
Moreover all Israel have transgressed your law, and have refused to listen to your voice; so the curse has come upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 og han fuldbyrdede de Ord, han havde talet imod os og de Herskere, som herskede over os, saa han bragte en Ulykke over os saa stor, at der ingensteds under Himmelen er sket Mage til den Ulykke, som ramte Jerusalem.
And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, [by] bringing upon us great evils, such as have not happened under the whole heaven, according to what has happened in Jerusalem.
13 Som skrevet staar i Mose Lov, kom hele denne Ulykke over os; og vi stemte ikke HERREN vor Gud til Mildhed ved at vende om fra vore Misgerninger og vinde Indsigt i din Sandhed.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all these evils have come upon us: yet we have not implored the Lord our God, that we might turn away from our iniquities, and have understanding in all your truth.
14 Derfor var HERREN aarvaagen over Ulykken og bragte den over os; thi HERREN vor Gud er retfærdig mod alle Skabninger, som han har skabt, og vi adlød ikke hans Røst.
The Lord also has watched, and brought the evils upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his work which he has executed, but we have not listened to his voice.
15 Og nu, Herre vor Gud, du, som med stærk Haand førte dit Folk ud af Ægypten og vandt dig et Navn, som er det samme den Dag i Dag: Vi syndede og var gudløse!
And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made to yourself a name, as [at] this day; we have sinned, we have transgressed.
16 Herre, lad dog efter alle dine Retfærdshandlinger din Vrede og Harme vende sig fra din By Jerusalem, dit hellige Bjerg; thi ved vore Synder og vore Fædres Misgerninger er Jerusalem og dit Folk blevet til Spot for alle vore Naboer.
O Lord, your mercy is over all: let, I pray you, your wrath turn away, and your anger from your city Jerusalem, [even] your holy mountain: for we have sinned, and because of our iniquities, and those of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach amongst all that are round about us.
17 Saa lyt da nu, vor Gud, til din Tjeners Bøn og Begæring og lad dit Ansigt lyse over din ødelagte Helligdom for din egen Skyld, o Herre!
And now, O lord our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine on your desolate sanctuary, for your [own] sake, O Lord.
18 Bøj dit Øre, min Gud, og hør, oplad dine Øjne og se Ødelæggelsen, som er overgaaet os, og Byen, dit Navn er nævnet over; thi ikke i Tillid til vore Retfærdshandlinger fremfører vi vor Begæring for dit Aasyn, men i Tillid til din store Barmhjertighed.
Incline your ear, O my God, and hear; open your eyes and behold our desolation, and that of your city on which your name is called: for we do not bring our pitiful case before you on [the ground of] our righteousness, but on [the ground of] your manifold compassions, O Lord.
19 Herre, hør! Herre, tilgiv! Herre, laan Øre og grib uden Tøven ind for din egen Skyld, min Gud; thi dit Navn er nævnet over din By og dit Folk!«
Listen, O Lord; be propitious, O Lord; attend, O Lord; delay not, O my God, for your own sake: for your name is called upon your city and upon your people.
20 Medens jeg endnu talte saaledes, bad og bekendte min og mit Folk Israels Synd og for HERREN min Guds Aasyn fremførte min Forbøn for min Guds hellige Bjerg,
And while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins and the sins of my people Israel, and bringing my pitiful case before the Lord my God concerning the holy mountain;
21 medens jeg endnu bad, kom Manden Gabriel, som jeg tidligere havde set i Synet, hastigt flyvende nær hen til mig ved Aftenofferets Tid;
yes, while I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, [came] flying, and he touched me about the hour of the evening sacrifice.
22 og da han var kommet, talede han saaledes til mig: »Daniel, jeg er nu kommet for at give dig Indsigt.
And he instructed me, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to impart to you understanding.
23 Straks du begyndte at bede, udgik et Ord, og jeg er kommet for at kundgøre dig det; thi du er højt elsket; saa mærk dig Ordet og agt paa Aabenbaringen!
At the beginning of your supplication the word came forth, and I am come to tell you; for you are a man much beloved: therefore consider the matter, understand the vision.
24 Halvfjerdsindstyve Uger er fastsat over dit Folk og din hellige By, indtil Overtrædelsen er fuldendt, Syndens Maal fuldt, Misgerningen sonet, evig Retfærdighed hidført, Syn og Profet beseglet og en højhellig Helligdom salvet.
Seventy weeks have been determined upon your people, and upon the holy city, for sin to be ended, and to seal up transgressions, and to blot out the iniquities, and to make atonement for iniquities, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal the vision and the prophet, and to anoint the Most Holy.
25 Og du skal vide og forstaa: Fra den Tid Ordet om Jerusalems Genrejsning og Opbyggelse udgik, indtil en Salvet, en Fyrste, kommer, er der syv Uger; og i to og tresindstyve Uger skal det genrejses og opbygges med Torve og Gader under Tidernes Trængsel.
And you shall know and understand, that from the going forth of the command for the answer and for the building of Jerusalem until Christ the prince [there shall be] seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks; and then [the time] shall return, and the street shall be built, and the wall, and the times shall be exhausted.
26 Men efter de to og tresindstyve Uger skal en Salvet bortryddes uden Dom, og Byen og Helligdommen skal ødelægges tillige med en Fyrste. Og Enden kommer med Oversvømmelse, og indtil Enden skal der være Krig, den fastsatte Ødelæggelse.
And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgement in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint [the city] to desolations.
27 Og pagten skal ophæves for de mange i een Uge, og i Ugens sidste Halvdel skal Slagtoffer og Afgrødeoffer ophøre, og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed skal sættes paa det hellige Sted, indtil den fastsatte Undergang udøser sig over Ødelæggeren.«
And one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and on the temple [shall be] the abomination of desolations; and at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation.
