< Daniel 9 >
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
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 I Daniel understood by books the number of the years which was the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremias, [even] seventy years for the accomplishment of the desolation of Jerusalem.
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 I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek [him] diligently by prayer and supplications, with fastings and sackcloth.
我便禁食,披麻蒙灰,定意向主 神祈祷恳求。
4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, and said, O Lord, the great and wonderful God, keeping your covenant and your mercy to them that love you, and to them that keep your commandments; we have sinned,
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 have done iniquity, we have transgressed, and we have departed and turned aside from your commandments and from your judgments:
我们犯罪作孽,行恶叛逆,偏离你的诫命典章,
6 and we have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, and our princes, and our fathers, and to 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 To you, O Lord, [belongs] righteousness, an to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the earth, wherever you has scattered them, for the sin which they committed.
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 In you, O Lord, is our righteousness, and to us [belongs] confusion of faced, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our fathers, forasmuch as we have sinned.
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 To you, the Lord our God, [belong] compassions and forgivenesses, whereas we have departed [from you];
主—我们的 神是怜悯饶恕人的,我们却违背了他,
10 neither have we listened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by the hands 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 Moreover all Israel have transgressed your law, and have refused to listen to your voice; so the curse has come upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned 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 confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, [by] bringing upon us great evils, such as have not happened under the whole heaven, according to what has happened in 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 is written in the law of Moses, all these evils have come upon us: yet we have not implored the Lord our God, that we might turn away from our iniquities, and have understanding in all your truth.
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 The Lord also has watched, and brought the evils upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his work which he has executed, but we have not listened 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 brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made to yourself a name, as [at] this day; we have sinned, we have transgressed.
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, your mercy is over all: let, I pray you, your wrath turn away, and your anger from your city Jerusalem, [even] your holy mountain: for we have sinned, and because of our iniquities, and those of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach among all that 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, O lord our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine on your desolate sanctuary, for your [own] sake, 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 Incline your ear, O my God, and hear; open your eyes and behold our desolation, and that of your city on which your name is called: for we do not bring our pitiful case before you on [the ground of] our righteousness, but on [the ground of] your manifold compassions, O Lord.
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 Listen, O Lord; be propitious, O Lord; attend, O Lord; delay not, O my God, for your own sake: for your name is called upon your city and upon your people.
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 yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins and the sins of my people Israel, and bringing my pitiful case before the Lord my God concerning the holy mountain;
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 yes, while I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, [came] flying, and he touched me about the hour of the evening sacrifice.
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 he instructed me, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to impart to you understanding.
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 beginning of your supplication the word came forth, and I am come to tell you; for you are a man much beloved: therefore consider the matter, understand the vision.
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 determined upon your people, and upon the holy city, for sin to be ended, and to seal up transgressions, and to blot out the iniquities, and to make atonement for iniquities, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal the vision and the prophet, and to anoint the Most Holy.
“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 And you shall know and understand, that from the going forth of the command for the answer and for the building of Jerusalem until Christ the prince [there shall be] seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks; and then [the time] shall return, and the street shall be built, and the wall, and the times shall be exhausted.
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 after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint [the city] to desolations.
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 one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and on the temple [shall be] the abomination of desolations; and at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation.
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。”
