< 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 Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm 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.
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations 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 unto YHWH Elohim, to seek by prayer and supplication, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
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 unto YHWH my Elohim, and made my confession, and said, O YHWH, the great and dreadful El, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5 Vi har syndet og handlet ilde, været gudløse og genstridige; vi veg fra dine Bud og Vedtægter
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
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.
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, 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.
O YHWH, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
8 Herre, vi staar med vort Ansigts Blusel, vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre, fordi vi syndede imod dig.
O YHWH, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
9 Men hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Tilgivelse, thi vi stod ham imod
To YHWH our Elohim belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 og adlød ikke HERREN vor Guds Røst, saa vi fulgte hans Love, som han forelagde os ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
Neither have we obeyed the voice of YHWH our Elohim, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by 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;
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of Elohim, 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 hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon 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 this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before YHWH our Elohim, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy 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.
Therefore hath YHWH watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for YHWH our Elohim is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not 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 YHWH our Elohim, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
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 YHWH, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are 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!
Now therefore, O our Elohim, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for YHWH 's sake.
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.
O my Elohim, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
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!«
O YHWH, hear; O YHWH, forgive; O YHWH, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my Elohim: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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 whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before YHWH my Elohim for the holy mountain of my Elohim;
21 medens jeg endnu bad, kom Manden Gabriel, som jeg tidligere havde set i Synet, hastigt flyvende nær hen til mig ved Aftenofferets Tid;
Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
22 og da han var kommet, talede han saaledes til mig: »Daniel, jeg er nu kommet for at give dig Indsigt.
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and 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 thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider 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 are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, 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.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
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 threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
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 he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolator.
