< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,
I Darius's, Ahasverus's Søns, første Regeringsaar, han, som var af medisk Byrd og var blevet Konge over Kaldæernes Rige,
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years of which the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
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.
3 And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
Jeg vendte mit Ansigt til Gud Herren for at fremføre Bøn og Begæring under Faste i Sæk og Aske.
4 And I prayed to Jehovah my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and fearful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,
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!
5 we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thine ordinances,
Vi har syndet og handlet ilde, været gudløse og genstridige; vi veg fra dine Bud og Vedtægter
6 nor have we hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our rulers, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
og hørte ikke paa dine Tjenere Profeterne, som talte i dit Navn til vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre og til alt Folket i Landet.
7 O Lord, righteousness belongs to thee, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where thou have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
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.
8 O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Herre, vi staar med vort Ansigts Blusel, vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre, fordi vi syndede imod dig.
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him,
Men hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Tilgivelse, thi vi stod ham imod
10 nor have we obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
og adlød ikke HERREN vor Guds Røst, saa vi fulgte hans Love, som han forelagde os ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside, that they should not obey thy voice. Therefore the curse has been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God. For we have sinned against him.
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;
12 And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil, for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem.
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.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of Jehovah our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in thy truth.
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.
14 Therefore Jehovah has watched over the evil, and brought it upon us, for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed his voice.
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.
15 And now, O Lord our God, who has brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and has gotten thee renown, as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
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!
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, let thine anger and thy wrath, I pray thee, 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 have become a reproach to all who are round about us.
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.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
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!
18 O my God, 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 righteousness, but for thy great mercies' sake.
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.
19 O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, hearken and do. Defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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!«
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God,
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,
21 yea, while I was speaking in prayer, 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.
medens jeg endnu bad, kom Manden Gabriel, som jeg tidligere havde set i Synet, hastigt flyvende nær hen til mig ved Aftenofferets Tid;
22 And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I have now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding.
og da han var kommet, talede han saaledes til mig: »Daniel, jeg er nu kommet for at give dig Indsigt.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell thee, for thou are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.
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!
24 Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
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.
25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublesome times.
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.
26 And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be with a flood. And even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
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.
27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate. And even to the full end, and that determined, wrath shall be poured out upon the desolate.
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.«
