Daniel 9
1 [Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
Pada tahun pertama pemerintahan Darius, anak Ahasyweros, dari keturunan orang Media, yang telah menjadi raja atas kerajaan orang Kasdim,
2 During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
pada tahun pertama kerajaannya itu aku, Daniel, memperhatikan dalam kumpulan Kitab jumlah tahun yang menurut firman TUHAN kepada nabi Yeremia akan berlaku atas timbunan puing Yerusalem, yakni tujuh puluh tahun.
3 [After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
Lalu aku mengarahkan mukaku kepada Tuhan Allah untuk berdoa dan bermohon, sambil berpuasa dan mengenakan kain kabung serta abu.
4 I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
Maka aku memohon kepada TUHAN, Allahku, dan mengaku dosaku, demikian: "Ah Tuhan, Allah yang maha besar dan dahsyat, yang memegang Perjanjian dan kasih setia terhadap mereka yang mengasihi Engkau serta berpegang pada perintah-Mu!
5 But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
Kami telah berbuat dosa dan salah, kami telah berlaku fasik dan telah memberontak, kami telah menyimpang dari perintah dan peraturan-Mu,
6 Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
dan kami tidak taat kepada hamba-hamba-Mu, para nabi, yang telah berbicara atas nama-Mu kepada raja-raja kami, kepada pemimpin-pemimpin kami, kepada bapa-bapa kami dan kepada segenap rakyat negeri.
7 Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
Ya Tuhan, Engkaulah yang benar, tetapi patutlah kami malu seperti pada hari ini, kami orang-orang Yehuda, penduduk kota Yerusalem dan segenap orang Israel, mereka yang dekat dan mereka yang jauh, di segala negeri kemana Engkau telah membuang mereka oleh karena mereka berlaku murtad terhadap Engkau.
8 Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
Ya TUHAN, kami, raja-raja kami, pemimpin-pemimpin kami dan bapa-bapa kami patutlah malu, sebab kami telah berbuat dosa terhadap Engkau.
9 Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
Pada Tuhan, Allah kami, ada kesayangan dan keampunan, walaupun kami telah memberontak terhadap Dia,
10 Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
dan tidak mendengarkan suara TUHAN, Allah kami, yang menyuruh kami hidup menurut hukum yang telah diberikan-Nya kepada kami dengan perantaraan para nabi, hamba-hamba-Nya.
11 All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
Segenap orang Israel telah melanggar hukum-Mu dan menyimpang karena tidak mendengarkan suara-Mu. Sebab itu telah dicurahkan ke atas kami kutuk dan sumpah, yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat Musa, hamba Allah itu, sebab kami telah berbuat dosa terhadap Dia.
12 You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
Dan telah ditetapkan-Nya firman-Nya, yang diucapkan-Nya terhadap kami dan terhadap orang-orang yang telah memerintah kami, yakni bahwa akan didatangkan-Nya kepada kami malapetaka yang besar, yang belum pernah terjadi di bawah semesta langit, seperti di Yerusalem.
13 [You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
Seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat Musa, segala malapetaka ini telah menimpa kami, dan kami tidak memohon belas kasihan TUHAN, Allah kami, dengan berbalik dari segala kesalahan kami dan memperhatikan kebenaran yang dari pada-Mu.
14 So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
Sebab itu TUHAN bersiap dengan malapetaka itu dan mendatangkannya kepada kami; karena TUHAN, Allah kami, adalah adil dalam segala perbuatan yang dilakukan-Nya, tetapi kami tidak mendengarkan suara-Nya.
15 O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
Oleh sebab itu, ya Tuhan, Allah kami, yang telah membawa umat-Mu keluar dari tanah Mesir dengan tangan yang kuat dan memasyhurkan nama-Mu, seperti pada hari ini, kami telah berbuat dosa, kami telah berlaku fasik.
16 Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
Ya Tuhan, sesuai dengan belas kasihan-Mu, biarlah kiranya murka dan amarah-Mu berlalu dari Yerusalem, kota-Mu, gunung-Mu yang kudus; sebab oleh karena dosa kami dan oleh karena kesalahan nenek moyang kami maka Yerusalem dan umat-Mu telah menjadi cela bagi semua orang yang di sekeliling kami.
17 O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
Oleh sebab itu, dengarkanlah, ya Allah kami, doa hamba-Mu ini dan permohonannya, dan sinarilah tempat kudus-Mu yang telah musnah ini dengan wajah-Mu, demi Tuhan sendiri.
18 My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
Ya Allahku, arahkanlah telinga-Mu dan dengarlah, bukalah mata-Mu dan lihatlah kebinasaan kami dan kota yang disebut dengan nama-Mu, sebab kami menyampaikan doa permohonan kami ke hadapan-Mu bukan berdasarkan jasa-jasa kami, tetapi berdasarkan kasih sayang-Mu yang berlimpah-limpah.
19 Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
Ya Tuhan, dengarlah! Ya, Tuhan, ampunilah! Ya Tuhan, perhatikanlah dan bertindaklah dengan tidak bertangguh, oleh karena Engkau sendiri, Allahku, sebab kota-Mu dan umat-Mu disebut dengan nama-Mu!"
20 I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
Sementara aku berbicara dan berdoa dan mengaku dosaku dan dosa bangsaku, bangsa Israel, dan menyampaikan ke hadapan TUHAN, Allahku, permohonanku bagi gunung kudus Allahku,
21 While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
sementara aku berbicara dalam doa, terbanglah dengan cepat ke arahku Gabriel, dia yang telah kulihat dalam penglihatan yang dahulu itu pada waktu persembahan korban petang hari.
22 He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
Lalu ia mengajari aku dan berbicara dengan aku: "Daniel, sekarang aku datang untuk memberi akal budi kepadamu untuk mengerti.
23 When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
Ketika engkau mulai menyampaikan permohonan keluarlah suatu firman, maka aku datang untuk memberitahukannya kepadamu, sebab engkau sangat dikasihi. Jadi camkanlah firman itu dan perhatikanlah penglihatan itu!
24 [God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
Tujuh puluh kali tujuh masa telah ditetapkan atas bangsamu dan atas kotamu yang kudus, untuk melenyapkan kefasikan, untuk mengakhiri dosa, untuk menghapuskan kesalahan, untuk mendatangkan keadilan yang kekal, untuk menggenapkan penglihatan dan nabi, dan untuk mengurapi yang maha kudus.
25 You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
Maka ketahuilah dan pahamilah: dari saat firman itu keluar, yakni bahwa Yerusalem akan dipulihkan dan dibangun kembali, sampai pada kedatangan seorang yang diurapi, seorang raja, ada tujuh kali tujuh masa; dan enam puluh dua kali tujuh masa lamanya kota itu akan dibangun kembali dengan tanah lapang dan paritnya, tetapi di tengah-tengah kesulitan.
26 After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
Sesudah keenam puluh dua kali tujuh masa itu akan disingkirkan seorang yang telah diurapi, padahal tidak ada salahnya apa-apa. Maka datanglah rakyat seorang raja memusnahkan kota dan tempat kudus itu, tetapi raja itu akan menemui ajalnya dalam air bah; dan sampai pada akhir zaman akan ada peperangan dan pemusnahan, seperti yang telah ditetapkan.
27 That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
Raja itu akan membuat perjanjian itu menjadi berat bagi banyak orang selama satu kali tujuh masa. Pada pertengahan tujuh masa itu ia akan menghentikan korban sembelihan dan korban santapan; dan di atas sayap kekejian akan datang yang membinasakan, sampai pemusnahan yang telah ditetapkan menimpa yang membinasakan itu."
