Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Daryavesh the son of Achashyerosh, of Median descent, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans?
I Darius, Ahasveruses søns første regeringsår, han som var af medisk Byrd og var blevet Konge over kaldæernes Rige,
2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of the years about which the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the completion of the desolation of Jerusalem, seventy years.
i hans første Regeringsår lagde jeg, Daniel, i Skrifterne Mærke til det Åremål, i hvilket Jerusalem efter HERRENs Ord til Profeten Jeremias skulde ligge i Grus, halvfjerdsindstyve År.
3 And I turned to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, 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 I prayed to Jehovah my God, and made this confession, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his 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 done what is wrong and wicked, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your commandments and from your ordinances.
Vi har syndet og handlet ilde, været gudløse og genstridige; vi veg fra dine Bud og Vedtægter
6 Neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
og hørte ikke på dine Tjenere Profeterne, som talte i dit Navn til vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre og til alt Folket i Landet.
7 Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us open shame, 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 you have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds that they have committed against you.
Du står 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 Jehovah, to us belongs open shame, to our kings, to our leaders, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
Herre, vi står med vort Ansigts Blusel, vore Konger, Fyrster og Fædre, fordi vi syndede imod dig.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.
Men hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Tilgivelse, thi vi stod ham imod
10 And have not 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, så vi fulgte hans Love, som han forelagde os ved sine Tjenere Profeterne.
11 Yes, all Israel has transgressed your law, and turned away, refusing to obey your voice. Therefore has the curse been poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.
Nej, hele Israel overtrådte din Lov og faldt fra, ulydige mod din Røst; så udøste den svorne Forbandelse, som står skrevet i Guds Tjener Mosess Lov, sig over os, thi vi syndede imod ham;
12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing on us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven such has not been done as has been done on Jerusalem.
og han fuldbyrdede de Ord, han havde talet imod os og de Herskere, som herskede over os, så han bragte en Ulykke over os så 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 calamity has come on us. Yet have we not tried to gain the favor of Jehovah our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in your truth.
Som skrevet står 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 has Jehovah watched over the calamity, and brought it on us, for Jehovah our God is just in all he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.
Derfor var HERREN årvågen 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, Lord our God, who has brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have made a name for yourself, even to this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Og nu, Herre vor Gud, du, som med stærk Hånd 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 Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and please let your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around 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, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
Så 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 My God, turn your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and see our desolation, and the city which is called by your name. For we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercy.
Bøj dit Øre, min Gud, og hør, oplad dine Øjne og se Ødelæggelsen, som er overgået os, og Byen, dit Navn er nævnet over; thi ikke i Tillid til vore Retfærdshandlinger fremfører vi vor Begæring for dit Åsyn, men i Tillid til din store Barmhjertighed.
19 Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and take action. Do not delay, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name."
Herre, hør! Herre, tilgiv! Herre, lån Øre og grib uden Tøven ind for din egen Skyld, min Gud; thi dit Navn er nævnet over din By og dit Folk!"
20 While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God,
Medens jeg endnu talte således, bad og bekendte min og mit Folk Israels Synd og for HERREN min Guds Åsyn fremførte min Forbøn for min Guds hellige Bjerg,
21 while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came to me in my weariness about the time of the evening sacrifice.
medens jeg endnu bad, kom Manden Gabriel, som jeg tidligere havde set i Synet, hastigt flyvende nær hen til mig ved Aftenofferets Tid;
22 He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, "Daniel, I have now come forth to give you wisdom and understanding.
og da han var kommet, talede han således til mig: "Daniel, jeg er nu kommet for at give dig Indsigt.
23 At the beginning of your petitions the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly loved. 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; så mærk dig Ordet og agt på Åbenbaringen!
24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to put an end to the transgression, and to make an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.
Halvfjerdsindstyve Uger er fastsat over dit Folk og din hellige By, indtil Overtrædelsen er fuldendt, Syndens Målfuldt, Misgerningen sonet, evig Retfærdighed hidført, Syn og Profet beseglet og en højhellig Helligdom salvet.
25 Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until the time of the Messiah, the Prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with open spaces and a moat, but in times of distress.
Og du skal vide og forstå: 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 After the sixty-two weeks the Messiah shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of a ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall come with a flood, and until the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.
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 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 offering to cease. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who destroys, and even until a complete destruction, until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys."
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 på det hellige Sted, indtil den fastsatte Undergang udøser sig over Ødelæggeren.
