< Daniel 9 >
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which 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 understood by the books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even 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 dreadful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his 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 perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
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, which spake 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 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, 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 of their trespass that they have trespassed against 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 mercies and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against him;
Gospodu, našemu Bogu, pripadajo usmiljenja in odpuščanja, čeprav smo grešili zoper njega,
10 neither have we obeyed 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, even turning aside, that they should not obey thy voice: therefore hath the curse been poured out upon us, 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 words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for 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 should 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 Therefore hath the LORD watched over the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth, and we have not obeyed 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 round 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 which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
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, hearken and do; defer not; for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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 whiles 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, whiles I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
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 instructed me, 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 the commandment went forth, and I am come to tell thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, 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 transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
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 commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks: and threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with street and moat, even 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 the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be 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 the half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations [shall come] one that maketh desolate; and even unto the consummation, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out upon the desolator.
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.«
