< 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 kingdom of the Chaldaeans;
米底亚族亚哈随鲁的儿子大流士立为迦勒底国的王元年,
2 In the first year of his rule, I, Daniel, saw clearly from the books the number of years given by the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, in which the making waste of Jerusalem was to be complete, that is, seventy years.
就是他在位第一年,我—但以理从书上得知耶和华的话临到先知耶利米,论耶路撒冷荒凉的年数,七十年为满。
3 And turning my face to the Lord God, I gave myself up to prayer, requesting his grace, going without food, in haircloth and dust.
我便禁食,披麻蒙灰,定意向主 神祈祷恳求。
4 And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;
我向耶和华—我的 神祈祷、认罪,说:“主啊,大而可畏的 神,向爱主、守主诫命的人守约施慈爱。
5 We are sinners, acting wrongly and doing evil; we have gone against you, turning away from your orders and from your laws:
我们犯罪作孽,行恶叛逆,偏离你的诫命典章,
6 We have not given ear to your servants the prophets, who said words in your name to our kings and our rulers and our fathers and all the people of the land.
没有听从你仆人众先知奉你名向我们君王、首领、列祖,和国中一切百姓所说的话。
7 O Lord, righteousness is yours, but shame is on us, even to this day; and on the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and on all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off, in all the countries where you have sent them because of the sin which they have done against you.
主啊,你是公义的,我们是脸上蒙羞的;因我们犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民,并以色列众人,或在近处,或在远处,被你赶到各国的人,都得罪了你,正如今日一样。
8 O Lord, shame is on us, on our kings and our rulers and our fathers, because of our sin against you.
主啊,我们和我们的君王、首领、列祖因得罪了你,就都脸上蒙羞。
9 With the Lord our God are mercies and forgiveness, for we have gone against him;
主—我们的 神是怜悯饶恕人的,我们却违背了他,
10 And have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God to go in the way of his laws which he put before us by the mouth of his servants the prophets.
也没有听从耶和华—我们 神的话,没有遵行他借仆人众先知向我们所陈明的律法。
11 And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.
以色列众人都犯了你的律法,偏行,不听从你的话;因此,在你仆人摩西律法上所写的咒诅和誓言都倾在我们身上,因我们得罪了 神。
12 And he has given effect to his words which he said against us and against those who were our judges, by sending a great evil on us: for under all heaven there has not been done what has been done to Jerusalem.
他使大灾祸临到我们,成就了警戒我们和审判我们官长的话;原来在普天之下未曾行过像在耶路撒冷所行的。
13 As it was recorded in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us: but we have made no prayer for grace from the Lord our God that we might be turned from our evil doings and come to true wisdom.
这一切灾祸临到我们身上是照摩西律法上所写的,我们却没有求耶和华—我们 神的恩典,使我们回头离开罪孽,明白你的真理。
14 So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.
所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上,因为耶和华—我们的 神在他所行的事上都是公义;我们并没有听从他的话。
15 And now, O Lord our God, who took your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and made a great name for yourself even to this day; we are sinners, we have done evil.
主—我们的 神啊,你曾用大能的手领你的子民出埃及地,使自己得了名,正如今日一样。我们犯了罪,作了恶。
16 O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.
主啊,求你按你的大仁大义,使你的怒气和忿怒转离你的城耶路撒冷,就是你的圣山。耶路撒冷和你的子民,因我们的罪恶和我们列祖的罪孽被四围的人羞辱。
17 And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.
我们的 神啊,现在求你垂听仆人的祈祷恳求,为自己使脸光照你荒凉的圣所。
18 O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.
我的 神啊,求你侧耳而听,睁眼而看,眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为你名下的城。我们在你面前恳求,原不是因自己的义,乃因你的大怜悯。
19 O Lord, give ear; O Lord, have forgiveness; O Lord, take note and do; let there be no more waiting; for the honour of your name, O my God, because your town and your people are named by your name.
求主垂听,求主赦免,求主应允而行,为你自己不要迟延。我的 神啊,因这城和这民都是称为你名下的。”
20 And while I was still saying these words in prayer, and putting my sins and the sins of my people Israel before the Lord, and requesting grace from the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;
我说话,祷告,承认我的罪和本国之民以色列的罪,为我 神的圣山,在耶和华—我 神面前恳求。
21 Even while I was still in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at first when my weariness was great, put his hand on me about the time of the evening offering.
我正祷告的时候,先前在异象中所见的那位加百列,奉命迅速飞来,约在献晚祭的时候,按手在我身上。
22 And teaching me and talking to me he said, O Daniel, I have come now to give you wisdom.
他指教我说:“但以理啊,现在我出来要使你有智慧,有聪明。
23 At the first word of your prayer a word went out, and I have come to give you knowledge; for you are a man dearly loved: so give thought to the word and let the vision be clear to you.
你初恳求的时候,就发出命令,我来告诉你,因你大蒙眷爱;所以你要思想明白这以下的事和异象。
24 Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.
“为你本国之民和你圣城,已经定了七十个七。要止住罪过,除净罪恶,赎尽罪孽,引进永义,封住异象和预言,并膏至圣者。
25 Have then the certain knowledge that from the going out of the word for the building again of Jerusalem till the coming of a prince, on whom the holy oil has been put, will be seven weeks: in sixty-two weeks its building will be complete, with square and earthwork.
你当知道,当明白,从出令重新建造耶路撒冷,直到有受膏君的时候,必有七个七和六十二个七。正在艰难的时候,耶路撒冷城连街带濠都必重新建造。
26 And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no...; and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.
过了六十二个七,那受膏者必被剪除,一无所有;必有一王的民来毁灭这城和圣所,至终必如洪水冲没。必有争战,一直到底,荒凉的事已经定了。
27 And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.
一七之内,他必与许多人坚定盟约;一七之半,他必使祭祀与供献止息。那行毁坏可憎的如飞而来,并且有忿怒倾在那行毁坏的身上,直到所定的结局。”
