< 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;
V prvem letu Dareja, sina Ahasvérja, iz rodu Medijcev, ki je bil postavljen za kralja nad območjem Kaldejcev,
2 in the first year of his reign I Daniel meditated in the books, over the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years.
v prvem letu njegovega kraljevanja sem jaz, Daniel, po knjigah razumel število let, o čemer je Gospodova beseda prišla preroku Jeremiju, da bo dovršil sedemdeset let v opustošenjih Jeruzalema.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Svoj obraz sem naravnal h Gospodu Bogu, da [ga] iščem z molitvijo, ponižnimi prošnjami, postom, vrečevino in pepelom.
4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,
Molil sem h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in naredil svoje priznanje ter rekel: »Oh Gospod, velik in grozen Bog, ki ohranja zavezo in usmiljenje tistim, ki ga ljubijo in tistim, ki se držijo njegovih zapovedi.
5 we have sinned, and have dealt iniquitously, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have turned aside from Thy commandments and from Thine ordinances;
Grešili smo in zagrešili krivičnost, počeli zlobno in se uprli, celo z odhajanjem od tvojih predpisov in od tvojih sodb.
6 neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, that spoke in Thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Niti nismo prisluhnili tvojim služabnikom prerokom, ki so v tvojem imenu govorili našim kraljem, našim princem in našim očetom in vsemu ljudstvu dežele.
7 Unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, 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 they dealt treacherously with Thee.
Oh Gospod, pravičnost pripada tebi, toda nam zmešnjava obrazov, kakor na ta dan; možem iz Juda in prebivalcem Jeruzalema in vsemu Izraelu, ki so blizu in ki so daleč, po vseh deželah, kamor si jih pognal zaradi njihovega prekrška, ki so ga zagrešili zoper tebe.
8 O LORD, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.
Oh Gospod, nam pripada osramotitev obrazov, našim kraljem, našim princem in našim očetom, ker smo grešili zoper tebe.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassions and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against Him;
Gospodu, našemu Bogu, pripadajo usmiljenja in odpuščanja, čeprav smo grešili zoper njega,
10 neither have we hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
niti se nismo pokoravali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da se ravnamo po njegovih postavah, ki jih je postavil pred nami po svojih služabnikih prerokih.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law, and have turned aside, so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and so there hath been poured out upon us the curse and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against Him.
Da, ves Izrael je prekršil pravila tvoje postave, celo z odhajanjem, da ne bi ubogali tvojega glasu. Zato je nad nas izlito prekletstvo in prisega, ki je zapisana v postavi Božjega služabnika Mojzesa, ker smo grešili zoper njega.
12 And He hath confirmed His word, which He spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
In on je potrdil svoje besede, ki jih je govoril zoper nas in zoper naše sodnike, ki so nas sodili, s tem, da je nad nas privedel veliko zlo, kajti pod celotnim nebom se ni zgodilo, kakor se je zgodilo nad Jeruzalemom.
13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet have we not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in Thy truth.
Kakor je to zapisano v Mojzesovi postavi, je vse to zlo prišlo nad nas, vendar nismo opravili svoje molitve pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, da bi se lahko obrnili od svojih krivičnosti in razumeli tvojo resnico.
14 And so the LORD hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
Zato je Gospod bedel nad zlom in ga privedel nad nas, kajti Gospod, naš Bog, je pravičen v vseh svojih delih, ki jih počne, kajti nismo ubogali njegovega glasu.
15 And now, O Lord our God, 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.
Sedaj, oh Gospod, naš Bog, ki si svoje ljudstvo z mogočno roko privedel iz egiptovske dežele in si si pridobil ugled kakor na ta dan; grešili smo, počeli smo zlobno.
16 O Lord, according to all Thy righteousness, let Thine anger and Thy fury, 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 are become a reproach to all that are about us.
Oh Gospod, glede na vso tvojo pravičnost te rotim, naj bo tvoja jeza in tvoja razjarjenost obrnjena proč od tvojega mesta, Jeruzalema, tvoje svete gore, ker so zaradi naših grehov in zaradi krivičnosti naših očetov Jeruzalem in tvoje ljudstvo postali graja vsem, ki so okoli nas.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto 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.
Zdaj torej, oh naš Bog, prisluhni molitvi svojega služabnika in njegovim ponižnim prošnjam in povzroči svojemu obrazu, da zasije nad tvojim svetiščem, ki je zapuščeno zaradi Gospoda.
18 O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city upon which Thy name is called; for we do not present our supplications before Thee because of our righteousness, but because of Thy great compassions.
Oh moj Bog, nagni svoje uho in prisluhni. Odpri svoje oči in glej naša opustošenja in mesto, ki je imenovano s tvojim imenom, kajti ne predstavljamo svojih ponižnih prošenj pred teboj zaradi svoje pravičnosti, temveč zaradi tvojih velikih usmiljenj.
19 O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive, O Lord, attend and do, defer not; for Thine own sake, O my God, because Thy name is called upon Thy city and Thy people.'
Oh Gospod, prisluhni; oh Gospod, odpusti; oh Gospod, prisluhni in stôri. Ne odlašaj zaradi sebe, oh moj Bog, kajti tvoje mesto in tvoje ljudstvo se imenujeta po tvojem imenu.«
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Medtem ko sem govoril in molil ter priznaval svoj greh in greh svojega ljudstva Izraela in predstavljal svojo ponižno prošnjo pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, za sveto goro svojega Boga;
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, approached close to me about the time of the evening offering.
da, medtem ko sem govoril v molitvi, je celo mož Gabriel, ki sem ga videl v videnju na začetku, naglo priletel in se me dotaknil ob času večerne daritve.
22 And he made me to understand, and talked with me, and said: 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
Poučil me je, govoril z menoj in rekel: »Oh Daniel, sedaj sem prišel, da ti dam znanje in razumevanje.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.
Na začetku tvoje ponižne prošnje je prišla zapoved in prišel sem, da se ti pokažem, kajti ti si silno ljubljen, zato razumi zadevo in preudari videnje.
24 Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place.
Sedemdeset tednov je določenih nad tvojim ljudstvom in nad tvojim svetim mestom, da preneha prestopek in se naredi konec grehom in se naredi pobotanje za krivičnost in da se vpelje večna pravičnost in se zapečatita videnje in prerokovanje in da se mazili Najsvetejše.
25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times.
Vedi torej in razumi, da bo od izida zapovedi, da se obnovi in zgradi Jeruzalem, do Mesija, Princa, sedem tednov in dvainšestdeset tednov. Ulica bo ponovno zgrajena in obzidje, celo v težkih časih.
26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Po dvainšestdesetih tednih bo Mesija usmrčen, toda ne zaradi sebe; in ljudstvo princa, ki bo prišlo, bo uničilo mesto in svetišče. Njegov konec bo s poplavo in do konca so določena vojna opustošenja.
27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment.'
Potrdil bo to zavezo z mnogimi za en teden. In v sredi tedna bo povzročil, da bo klavna daritev in jedilna daritev prenehala in zaradi razširjanja ogabnosti bo on to opustošil, celo do použitja in to določeno bo izlito na opustošenje.«
