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.
El primer año de Darío, hijo de Asuero, del linaje de los medos, que fue proclamado rey sobre el reino de los caldeos,
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.
en ese primer año de su reinado, yo, Daniel, entendí por los rollos que, según la Palabra de Yavé dada al profeta Jeremías, el número de los años que debía durar la desolación de Jerusalén sería 70 años.
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].
Entonces volví mi rostro hacia ʼAdonay mi ʼElohim, y lo busqué en conversación con Él y ruego, con ayuno, tela áspera y ceniza.
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].
Hablé con Yavé mi ʼElohim e hice confesión: Oh ʼAdonay, el grande y asombroso ʼEL, digno de ser temido, que guardas el Pacto y la misericordia con los que te aman y guardan tus Mandamientos:
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].
Pecamos, cometimos iniquidad, obramos impíamente, fuimos rebeldes y nos apartamos de tus Mandamientos y de tus Preceptos.
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.
No obedecimos a tus esclavos profetas, que en tu Nombre hablaron a nuestros reyes, gobernantes, antepasados y a todo el pueblo de la tierra.
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.
Oh ʼAdonay, tuya es la justicia. Nuestra es la confusión de rostro que hoy lleva todo hombre de Judá, los habitantes de Jerusalén y todo Israel, los de cerca y los de lejos, en todos los países adonde los echaste a causa de sus obras infieles que cometieron contra Ti.
8 Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
Oh ʼAdonay, nuestra es la vergüenza de semblante, porque contra ti pecamos nosotros, nuestros reyes, nuestros gobernantes y nuestros antepasados.
9 Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
A ʼAdonay, nuestro ʼElohim, corresponden la compasión y el perdón, aunque nosotros nos rebelamos contra Él.
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.
No obedecimos la voz de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim para andar en sus enseñanzas que Él puso delante de nosotros por medio de sus esclavos profetas.
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.
Todo Israel traspasó tu Ley y se apartó para no obedecer tu voz. Por eso nos cayó la maldición y el juramento escrito en la Ley de Moisés, esclavo de ʼElohim, porque pecamos contra Él.
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.
Él cumplió la Palabra que habló contra nosotros y contra nuestros gobernantes. Trajo sobre nosotros tan grande calamidad, porque nunca se hizo bajo el cielo algo semejante a lo que se hizo contra Jerusalén.
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.
Como está escrito en la Ley de Moisés, toda esta calamidad vino sobre nosotros. No imploramos el favor de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, no nos apartamos de nuestra iniquidad, ni pusimos atención a tu verdad.
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.
Por tanto Yavé guardó la calamidad y la trajo sobre nosotros, porque Yavé nuestro ʼElohim es justo en todas sus obras, pero no obedecimos su voz.
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.
Y ahora, oh ʼAdonay, ʼElohim nuestro, que sacaste a tu pueblo de la tierra de Egipto con mano poderosa y te hiciste famoso como sucede hoy: ¡Pecamos y fuimos perversos!
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.
Oh ʼAdonay, aparta tu ira y furor de sobre tu ciudad Jerusalén, tu Montaña Santa, según todas tus obras justas. Porque a causa de nuestros pecados y de las iniquidades de nuestros antepasados, Jerusalén y tu pueblo son el oprobio de los que nos rodean.
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].
Ahora pues, ʼElohim nuestro, oye el clamor de tu esclavo y sus súplicas. Por amor a Ti, concede que tu Rostro resplandezca sobre tu Santuario desolado, oh ʼAdonay.
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.
¡Oh ʼElohim mío! Inclina tu oído y escucha. Abre tus ojos y mira nuestras desolaciones y la ciudad sobre la cual es invocado tu Nombre. Porque no presentamos nuestras súplicas ante Ti confiados en algún mérito nuestro, sino confiados en tus grandes misericordias.
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)!
¡Oh ʼAdonay, escucha! ¡Oh ʼAdonay, perdona! ¡Oh ʼAdonay, escucha y actúa! ¡Oh ʼElohim mío, por amor a Ti mismo, no tardes! Porque por tu Nombre son nombrados tu ciudad y tu pueblo.
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].
Aún hablaba con Dios, confesaba mi pecado y el pecado de mi pueblo Israel, y presentaba mi súplica ante Yavé mi ʼElohim por la Montaña Santa de mi ʼElohim.
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.
Mientras aún hablaba con Dios, aquel varón Gabriel, a quien miré al principio en la visión, voló hacia mí con rapidez como a la hora del sacrificio de la tarde.
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].
Y me explicó: Daniel, ahora vine para iluminar tu entendimiento.
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].
Al principio de tus ruegos fue dada la orden. Y yo vine para enseñártela, porque tú eres un varón muy amado. Por tanto, considera el asunto y entiende la visión.
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].
70 semanas están determinadas sobre tu pueblo y tu Santa Ciudad, para terminar la transgresión, poner fin al pecado, hacer sacrificio que apacigua por la iniquidad, introducir la justicia perdurable, sellar la visión y la profecía y ungir al Santísimo.
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.
Sabe y entiende que desde la salida del decreto para restaurar y reedificar a Jerusalén hasta el Mesías Príncipe, habrá siete semanas y 62 semanas. Se volverá a edificar la plaza y el muro en tiempos angustiosos.
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].
Después de las 62 semanas se quitará la vida al Mesías, pero no por [causa] de Él. Y el pueblo de un príncipe que vendrá destruirá la ciudad y el Santuario, pero su fin será como una inundación. Hasta el fin de la guerra se decretaron asolamientos.
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.”
Él hará el pacto con muchos por otra semana. A la mitad de la semana hará cesar el sacrificio y la ofrenda. Después, con las numerosas repugnancias, vendrá el desolador, hasta que venga la consumación, y lo que está determinado se derrame sobre el desolador.
