Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, —who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
瑪待族的薛西斯的兒子達理阿作加塞色丁國的君王第一年，
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived by the writings, —the number of the years, as to which the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah the prophet, to fulfil the desolations of Jerusalem, seventy years.
在他為王元年，我達尼爾注意了經書中上主對耶肋米亞先知有關年數所說的話，即關於耶路撒冷的荒蕪應滿七十年的事。
3 So I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [him] by prayer, and supplication, —with fasting, and sackcloth and ashes;
我面向吾主天主，以祈禱、懇求、禁食、穿苦衣，頂灰塵，求問他。
4 yea I prayed unto Yahweh my God, and made confession, —and said—I beseech thee, O Lord, the GOD great and to be revered, keeping the covenant and the lovingkindness, to them who love him, and to them who keep his commandments.
我哀求上主我的天主而認罪說：「哎! 吾主，偉大可敬畏的天主! 你對那些愛你和遵守你誡命的人，必守約施恩。
5 We have sinned and committed iniquity, and been guilty of lawlessness and been rebellious, —even departing from thy commandments, and from thy regulations;
我們犯了罪，行了不義，作惡反叛，離棄了你的誡命和法令。
6 and have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spake in thy name, unto our kings, our rulers, and our fathers, —and unto all the people of the land.
我們沒有聽從你的眾僕人先知，因你的名向我們的君王，我們的首長，我們的祖先，和全國人民所說的話。
7 To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but, to us, the shame of faces, as at this day, —to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, the near and the far off, throughout all the lands whither thou hast driven them, in their treachery, wherewith they had been treacherous against thee.
吾主，正義歸於你! 而滿面羞愧歸於我們，就如今日歸於猶大人民，歸於耶路撒冷的居民，歸於所有不忠於你而被你驅至各地或遠或近的以色列人一樣。
8 O Yahweh, to us, belongeth the shame of faces, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers, —in that we have sinned against thee.
吾主，滿面羞愧歸於我們，歸於我們的君王，歸於我們的首長以及我們的祖先，因為我們犯罪得罪了你，
9 To the Lord our God, belong compassions, and forgivenesses, —for we have rebelled against him;
然而慈悲和寬宥應歸於上主我們的天主，因為我們實在都背叛了他，
10 and have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God, —to walk in his instructions which he set before us, through means of his servants the prophets;
沒有聽從上主我們天主的勸告，也沒有遵行他藉自己的僕人眾先知，向我們所宣示的訓令。
11 yea, all Israel, have transgressed thy law, even going away, so as not to hearken unto thy voice, —therefore, were poured out upon us, the curse and the oath which had been written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we had sinned against him.
以色列人實在全都違犯離棄了你的法律，沒有聽從你的聲音；因此，在天主的僕人梅瑟的法律上，所記載的咒罵和詛咒，都傾注在我們身上了，因為我們犯罪得罪了他，
12 Thus hath he confirmed his words which he had spoken against us, and against our judges who had judged us, by bringing in upon us a great calamity, —as to which there had not been done, under all the heavens, as hath been done unto Jerusalem.
所以他履行了他對我們和管理我們的官長所說的話：使我們遭受了普天下從未遭受過像耶路撒冷所遭受的這樣大的災難，
13 Even as written in the law of Moses, hath, all this calamity, come in upon us, —yet entreated we not the face of Yahweh our God, by turning away from our iniquities, and by getting intelligence in thy truth.
全如梅瑟法律上所記載的。這一切災禍都降在我們身上，而我們仍不想平息上主我們天主的義怒，遠離我們的罪惡，明白你的真理；
14 Therefore hath Yahweh, kept watch, for the calamity, and brought it in upon us, —for righteous is Yahweh our God concerning all his deeds which he hath done, seeing that we had not hearkened unto his voice.
因此上主注視著災禍，好把它降在我們身上，因為上主我們的天主，在所行的一切作為上是正義的，只是我們仍未聽他的聲音。
15 Now, therefore, O Lord our God, who didst bring forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a firm hand, and didst make for thyself a name, as at this day, —we have sinned, we have been guilty of lawlessness.
吾主，我們的天主! 你曾以你強有力的手，領你的人民出了埃及地，而彰顯了你的名聲，有如今日；我們現今卻仍然犯罪作惡。
16 O Lord! according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thine indignation turn away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain, —for, by reason of our sins, and by reason of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people, have become a reproach, to all who are round about us.
吾主，求你照你所有的仁義，使你的忿怒和憤恨離開你的城耶路撒冷，即你的聖山；因為，由於我們的罪過和我們祖先的罪惡，耶路撒冷和你的人民已成了我們四鄰的笑柄。
17 Now, therefore, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto his supplications, and let thy face shine, upon thy sanctuary, that is desolate, —for the sake of thy servants, O Lord.
所以，現在，我們的天主! 願你俯聽你僕人的祈禱和哀求! 吾主，為了你自己的緣故，再以你的慈顏光照你現已荒涼的聖所。
18 Incline, O my God, thine ear, and hearken, open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city on which hath been called thy name; for, not on the ground of our own righteousnesses, are we causing our supplications to fall down before thee, but on the ground of thine abounding compassions.
我的天主! 求你側耳俯聽，睜眼垂視我們的廢墟，和屬你名下的城市! 我們將我們的哀禱呈於你前，不是因我們的正義，而只是依賴你的大慈大悲。
19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hearken and perform! Do not delay! For thine own sake, O my God, because, thine own name, hath been called, upon thy city, and upon thy people.
吾主，求你俯聽! 吾主，求你寬宥! 吾主，求你垂聽，迅速實行! 為了你自己的緣故，我的天主，你不要再遲延，因為你的城和你的人民，是屬你名下的。」
20 And, while yet I was speaking, and praying, and confessing mine own sin, and the sin of my people Israel, —and causing my supplication to fall down before Yahweh my God, concerning the holy mountain of my God;
我還在陳訴、祈禱和承認我罪及我人民以色列的罪，並為天主的聖山，將我的哀禱陳於上主我的天主面前時，
21 while yet I was speaking in prayer, then, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the beginning, wearied with rapid flight, touched me, about the time of the evening present.
即我還在祈禱傾訴之際，約在晚祭時，先前我在異象中所見的那似人的加俾額爾，急速再向我飛來；
22 Yea he came, and spake with me, —and said—O Daniel! now, have I come forth, to teach thee understanding.
他一來到，就對我說：「達尼爾! 我現在顯現出來，是為叫你完全明白，
23 At the beginning of thy supplications, came forth a word, I, therefore, am arrived to tell, because, a man delighted in, thou art, —mark then the word, and have understanding in the revelation: —
當你開始哀求時，便有話傳出，要我前來通知你，因為你是個極可愛的人；所以你應該注意這話，理解這異象! 」「
24 Seventy weeks, have been divided concerning thy people and concerning thy holy city—to put an end to the transgression, and fill up the measure of sin, and put a propitiatory-covering over iniquity, and bring in the righteousness of ages, and affix a seal the vision and prophecy, and anoint the holy of holies.
關於你的人民，和你的聖城已注定了七十個星期，為終止過犯，為結束罪惡，為賠補不義，為帶來永遠的正義，為應驗神視和預言，為給至聖者傅油。
25 Thou must know, then, and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem—unto the Anointed One, the Prince, [shall be] seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks, —the broadway and the wall, shall again be built, even in the end of the times.
你應該知道，也應該明白：自從頒發重建耶路撒冷的命令，直到受傅的君王，共是七個星期；再經六十二個星期，城邑的廣場和溝渠，要重新建起來，且是在困難之時；
26 And, after the sixty-two weeks, shall the Anointed One, be cut off, and have, nothing, —and, the city and the sanctuary, will one destroy with the Prince, and so will his own end come with an overwhelming flood, howbeit, up to the full end of the war, are decreed astounding things.
六十二個星期之後，一位受傅者雖然無罪，卻要被殺害，且那將要來臨的首領的民族要破壞這城和聖所，但他的結局是在洪流中；直到末期要有戰爭，及決定了的毀滅。
27 And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week, —but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.
在一個星期內，他要使祭祀和供物停止，在聖所內要設立所招致荒涼的可憎之物，直到決定了的毀滅傾注在破壞者的身上。」
