< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first yeere of Darius the sonne of Ahashuerosh, of the seede of the Medes, which was made King ouer the realme of the Caldeans,
فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى مِنْ حُكْمِ دَارِيُّوسَ بْنِ أَحْشَوِيرُوشَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ الْمَادِيِّينَ، الَّذِي اعْتَلَى عَرْشَ مَمْلَكَةِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ.١
2 Euen in the first yeere of his reigne, I Daniel vnderstood by bookes the nomber of the yeeres, whereof the Lord had spoken vnto Ieremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish seuentie yeeres in the desolation of Ierusalem.
فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى مِنْ مُلْكِهِ، أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ، مِنْ دِرَاسَةِ الأَسْفَارِ الَّتِي دُوِّنَ فِيهَا وَحْيُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا، أَنَّ عَدَدَ السَّنَوَاتِ الَّتِي قُضِيَ بِها عَلَى خَرَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ هُوَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً.٢
3 And I turned my face vnto the Lord God, and sought by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
فَاتَّجَهْتُ بِنَفْسِي إِلَى السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ، أَبْتَهِلُ إِلَيهِ بِالْصَّلاةِ وَالتَّضَرُّعَاتِ وَالصَّوْمِ وَارْتِدَاءِ الْمَسْحِ وَالتَّعَفُّرِ بِالرَّمَادِ.٣
4 And I prayed vnto the Lord my God, and made my confession, saying, Oh Lord God, which art great and fearefull, and keepest couenant and mercy toward them which loue thee, and toward them that keepe thy commandements,
وَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِي وَاعْتَرَفْتُ قَائِلاً: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْمَهُوبُ، حَافِظُ الْعَهْدِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ لِمُحِبِّيهِ وَعَامِلِي وَصَايَاهُ.٤
5 We haue sinned, and haue committed iniquitie and haue done wickedly, yea, we haue rebelled, and haue departed from thy precepts, and from thy iudgements.
إِنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا وَأَثِمْنَا وَارْتَكَبْنَا الشَّرَّ، وَتَمَرَّدْنَا وَانْحَرَفْنَا عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ وَأَحْكَامِكَ.٥
6 For we would not obey thy seruants the Prophets, which spake in thy Name to our Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ لِعَبِيدِكَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ بِاسْمِكَ أَنْذَرُوا مُلُوكَنَا وَرُؤَسَاءَنَا وَآبَاءَنَا وَجَمِيعَ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ.٦
7 O Lord, righteousnes belongeth vnto thee, and vnto vs open shame, as appeareth this day vnto euery man of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem: yea, vnto all Israel, both neere and farre off, through all the countreys, whither thou hast driuen them, because of their offences, that they haue committed against thee.
لَكَ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الْبِرُّ، وَلَنَا الْخِزْيُ، كَمَا هُوَ حَادِثٌ الْيَوْمَ لِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلأَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلِسَائِرِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْقَرِيبِينَ وَالْبَعِيدِينَ، الْمُشَتَّتِينَ فِي كُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ الَّتِي أَجْلَيْتَهُمْ إِلَيْهَا عِقَاباً لَهُمْ عَلَى مَا اقْتَرَفُوهُ مِنْ خِيَانَةٍ فِي حَقِّكَ.٧
8 O Lord, vnto vs apperteineth open shame, to our Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we haue sinned against thee.
فَلَنَا أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الْخِزْيُ، نَحْنُ وَمُلُوكِنَا وَرُؤَسَائِنَا وَآبَائِنَا، لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ.٨
9 Yet compassion and forgiuenesse is in the Lord our God, albeit we haue rebelled against him.
إِنَّمَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا الرَّحْمَةُ وَالْمَغْفِرَةُ لأَنَّنَا عَصَيْنَاكَ.٩
10 For we haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord our God, to walke in his lawes, which he had laide before vs by the ministerie of his seruants the Prophets.
وَلَمْ نُطِعْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا لِنَسْلُكَ فِي شَرَائِعِهِ الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا لَنَا عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ.١٠
11 Yea, all Israel haue transgressed thy Lawe, and are turned backe, and haue not heard thy voyce: therefore the curse is powred vpon vs, and the othe that is written in the Lawe of Moses the seruant of God, because we haue sinned against him.
قَدْ تَعَدَّى كُلُّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَانْحَرَفُوا فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَكَ، فَسَكَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا اللَّعْنَةَ وَمَا أَقْسَمْتَ أَنْ تُوْقِعَهُ بِنَا، كَمَا نَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ شَرِيعَةُ مُوسَى عَبْدِ اللهِ، لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ.١١
12 And he hath confirmed his wordes, which he spake against vs, and against our iudges that iudged vs, by bringing vpon vs a great plague: for vnder the whole heauen hath not bene the like, as hath bene brought vpon Ierusalem.
وَقَدْ نَفَّذْتَ قَضَاءَكَ الَّذِي قَضَيْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى قُضَاتِنَا الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا أَمْرَنَا، جَالِباً عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ شَرّاً عَظِيماً لَمْ يَحْدُثْ لَهُ مَثِيلٌ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ.١٢
13 All this plague is come vpon vs, as it is written in the Lawe of Moses: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turne from our iniquities and vnderstand thy trueth.
وَكَمَا وَرَدَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، أَصَابَنَا جَمِيعُ هَذَا الْبَلاءِ، وَلَمْ نَسْتَعْطِفْ وَجْهَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا تَائِبِينَ عَنْ آثَامِنَا وَمُتَنَبِّهِينَ لِحَقِّكَ.١٣
14 Therefore hath the Lord made ready the plague, and brought it vpon vs: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we would not heare his voyce.
فَأَضْمَرْتَ لَنَا الْعِقَابَ وَأَوْقَعْتَهُ بِنَا لأَنَّكَ إِلَهُنَا الْبَارُّ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِكَ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَهَا لأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْتَمِعْ إِلَيْكَ.١٤
15 And nowe, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mightie hand, and hast gotten thee renoume, as appeareth this day, we haue sinned, we haue done wickedly.
وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ إِلَهُنَا، يَا مَنْ أَخْرَجْتَ شَعْبَكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ مُقْتَدِرَةٍ، وَأَشْهَرْتَ اسْمَكَ كَمَا هُوَ حَادِثٌ الْيَوْمَ، قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَارْتَكَبْنَا الشَّرَّ.١٥
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousnes, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy wrath be turned away from thy citie Ierusalem thine holy Mountaine: for because of our sinnes, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Ierusalem and thy people are a reproche to all that are about vs.
فَاصْرِفْ يَا سَيِّدُ، حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ، سَخَطَكَ وَغَضَبَكَ عَنْ مَدِينَتِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِكَ إِذْ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطَايَانَا وَآثَامِ آبَائِنَا أَصْبَحَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَثَارَ عَارٍ لَنَا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِنَا.١٦
17 Nowe therefore, O our God, heare the prayer of thy serunant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine vpon thy Sanctuarie, that lyeth waste for the Lords sake.
فَأَنْصِتِ الآنَ يَا إِلَهَنَا إِلَى صَلاةِ عَبْدِكَ وَابْتِهَالاتِهِ، وَأَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى هَيْكَلِكَ الْمُتَهَدِّمِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاتِكَ.١٧
18 O my God, encline thine eare and heare: open thine eyes, and beholde our desolations, and the citie whereupon thy Name is called: for we doe not present our supplications before thee for our owne righteousnes, but for thy great tender mercies.
أَرْهِفْ أُذُنَكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَاسْتَمِعْ، وَافْتَحْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَشَاهِدْ خَرَائِبَنَا وَالْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي دُعِيَ اسْمُكَ عَلَيْهَا، فَإِنَّنَا لَا مِنْ أَجْلِ بِرٍّ فِينَا نَرْفَعُ تَضَرُّعَاتِنَا إِلَيْكَ، بَلْ بِفَضْلِ مَرَاحِمِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ.١٨
19 O Lord, heare, O Lord forgiue, O Lord consider, and doe it: deferre not, for thine owne sake, O my God: for thy Name is called vpon thy citie, and vpon thy people.
فَاسْتَمِعْ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ وَاغْفِرْ. أَصْغِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ وَتَصَرَّفْ وَلا تُبْطِئ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِكَ يَا إِلَهِي، لأَنَّ اسْمَكَ دُعِيَ عَلَى مَدِينَتِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ».١٩
20 And whiles I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sinne, and the sinne of my people Israel, and did present my supplication before the Lord my God, for the holy Mountaine of my God,
وَبَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي وَأَعْتَرِفُ بِخَطِيئَتِي وَخَطِيئَةِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْفَعُ تَضَرُّعَاتِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِي مِنْ أَجْلِ جَبَلِ قُدْسِ إِلَهِي،٢٠
21 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, euen the man Gabriel, whome I had seene before in the vision, came flying, and touched mee about the time of the euening oblation.
إِذَا بِالْمَلاكِ جِبْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي عَايَنْتُهُ فِي الرُّؤْيَا فِي الْبَدْءِ، قَدْ طَارَ إِلَيَّ مُسْرِعاً وَلَمَسَنِي، فِي مَوْعِدِ تَقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَاءِ.٢١
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and sayd, O Daniel, I am now come forth to giue thee knowledge and vnderstanding.
وَأَفْهَمَنِي قَائِلاً: «يَا دَانِيَالُ قَدْ جِئْتُ لأُعَلِّمَكَ الْفَهْمَ.٢٢
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandement came foorth, and I am come to shewe thee, for thou art greatly beloued: therefore vnderstande the matter and consider the vision.
فَمُنْذُ أَنْ شَرَعْتَ فِي تَضَرُّعَاتِكَ صَدَرَ إِلَيَّ الأَمْرُ لأَجِيءَ إِلَيْكَ وَأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى مَا تَبْغِي، لأَنَّكَ مَحْبُوبٌ جِدّاً، لِهَذَا تَأَمَّلْ مَا أَقُولُ وَافْهَمِ الرُّؤْيَا.٢٣
24 Seuentie weekes are determined vpon thy people and vpon thine holy citie, to finish the wickednes, and to seale vp the sinnes, and to reconcile the inquitie, and to bring in euerlasting righteousnesse, and to seale vp the vision and prophecie, and to anoynt the most Holy.
قَدْ صَدَرَ الْقَضَاءُ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ سَبْعُونَ أُسْبُوعاً عَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى مَدِينَةِ قُدْسِكَ، لِلانْتِهَاءِ مِنَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ وَالْقَضَاءِ عَلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ، وَلِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنِ الإِثْمِ، وَلإِشَاعَةِ الْبِرِّ الأَبَدِيِّ وَخَتْمِ الرُّؤْيَا وَالنُّبُوءَةِ وَلِمَسْحِ قُدُّوسِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ.٢٤
25 Knowe therefore and vnderstande, that from the going foorth of the commandement to bring againe the people, and to builde Ierusalem, vnto Messiah the prince, shall be seuen weekes and threescore and two weekes, and the streete shalbe built againe, and the wall euen in a troublous time.
لِهَذَا فَاعْلَمْ وَافْهَمْ أَنَّ الْحِقْبَةَ الْمُمْتَدَّةَ مُنْذُ صُدُورِ الأَمْرِ بِإِعَادَةِ بِنَاءِ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى مَجِيءِ الْمَسِيحِ، سَبْعَةُ أَسَابِيعَ، ثُمَّ اثْنَانِ وَسِتُّونَ أُسْبُوعاً يُبْنَى فِي غُضُونِهَا سُوقٌ وَخَلِيجٌ. إِنَّمَا تَكُونُ تِلْكَ أَزْمِنَةَ ضِيقٍ.٢٥
26 And after threescore and two weekes, shall Messiah be slaine, and shall haue nothing, and the people of the prince that shall come, shall destroy the citie and the Sanctuarie, and the end thereof shalbe with a flood: and vnto the end of the battell it shalbe destroyed by desolations.
وَبَعْدَ اثْنَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ أُسْبُوعاً يُقْتَلُ الْمَسِيحُ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ، وَيُدَمِّرُ شَعْبُ رَئِيسٍ آتٍ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْقُدْسَ، وَتُقْبِلُ آخِرَتُهَا كَطُوفَانٍ، وَتَسْتَمِرُّ الْحَرْبُ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ، وَيَعُمُّ الْخَرَابُ الْمَقْضِيُّ بِهِ.٢٦
27 And he shall confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate.
وَيُبْرِمُ عَهْداً ثَابِتاً مَعَ كَثِيرِينَ لِمُدَّةِ أُسْبُوعٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُ فِي وَسَطِ الأُسْبُوعِ يُبْطِلُ الذَّبِيحَةَ وَالتَّقْدِمَةَ، وَيُقِيمُ عَلَى جَنَاحِ الْهَيْكَلِ رَجَاسَةَ الْخَرَابِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ الْقَضَاءُ، فَيَنْصَبُّ الْعِقَابُ عَلَى الْمُخَرِّبِ».٢٧
