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 Achashverosh, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king 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.
In the first year of his reign, I Daniel searched in the books for understanding concerning the number of the years whereof the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would let pass full seventy years over the ruins of Jerusalem.
3 Jeg vendte mit Ansigt til Gud Herren for at fremføre Bøn og Begæring under Faste i Sæk og Aske.
And I directed my face unto the Lord God, to ask by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and in 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 the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepeth the covenant and kindness to those that love him, and to those 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, and have departed from thy commandments and from thy ordinances;
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.
Nor have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke 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.
Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us belongeth the shame of face, as it is this day, —to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, those that are near, and those that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass which they have trespassed against thee.
8 Herre, vi staar med vort Ansigts Blusel, vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre, fordi vi syndede imod dig.
O Lord, to us belongeth the shame 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 the Lord our God belong mercies and pardonings; for 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.
And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through means 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;
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have departed so as not to obey thy voice: therefore was poured out over us the curse, with the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; because we had 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 accomplished his words, which he had spoken concerning us, and concerning our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil, which was never done under the whole heaven as it hath been done 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 this evil came over us: yet offered we not any entreaty before the Lord our God, to return from our iniquities, and to become intelligent in 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 did the Lord watch over the evil, and he brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous because of all his deeds which he hath done; but we have not obeyed 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 hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thyself a [great] name, as it is 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 Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because through our sins, and through the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all who 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 listen, O our God, to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for the sake of the 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, O my God, thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and look on our desolations, and the city whereupon thy name is called: for not [relying] on our acts of righteousness do we present humbly our supplications before thee, but [relying] on 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 Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do it; delay it not; for thy own sake, O my God; for thy name is called upon thy city and upon thy 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 sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication humbly before the Lord my God because of the holy mountain of my God:
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, while I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came, flying swiftly, near 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 gave me understanding, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, now am I come forth to make thee intelligent with 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 word went forth, and I am come to tell it; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and have understanding of the appearance.
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 close up the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy thing.
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 comprehend, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed the prince will be seven weeks: and during sixty and two weeks will it be again built with streets and ditches [around it], even in the pressure of the 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 the sixty and two weeks will an anointed one be cut off without a successor to follow him: and the city and the sanctuary will the people of the prince that is coming destroy; but his end will come in a violent overthrow; but until the end of the war devastations are decreed [against it].
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 will make a strong covenant with the many for one week; and in the half of the week will he cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and this because of the prevalence of the abominations which bringeth devastation, and until destruction and what is decreed shall be poured out upon the waster.
