Danihelis Prophetæ 9
1 In anno primo Darii filii Assueri de semine Medorum qui imperavit super regnum Chaldaeorum
In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans —
2 Anno uno regni eius ego Daniel intellexi in libris numerum annorum de quo factus est sermo Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam ut complerentur desolationis Ierusalem septuaginta anni
in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the sacred books, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.
3 Et posui faciem meam ad Dominum Deum meum rogare et deprecari in ieiuniis sacco et cinere
So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
4 Et oravi Dominum Deum meum et confessus sum et dixi Obsecro Domine Deus magne et terribilis custodiens pactum et misericordiam diligentibus te et custodientibus mandata tua
And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, “O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments,
5 Peccavimus iniquitatem fecimus impie egimus et recessimus et declinavimus a mandatis tuis ac iudiciis
we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.
6 Non obedivimus servis tuis prophetis qui locuti sunt in nomine tuo regibus nostris principibus nostris patribus nostris omnique populo terrae
We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 Tibi Domine iustitia nobis autem confusio faciei sicut est hodie viro Iuda et habitatoribus Ierusalem et omni Israel his qui prope sunt et his qui procul in universis terris ad quas eiecisti eos propter iniquitates eorum in quibus peccaverunt in te
To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You.
8 Domine nobis confusio faciei regibus nostris principibus nostris et patribus nostris qui peccaverunt
O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
9 Tibi autem Domino Deo nostro misericordia et propitiatio quia recessimus a te
To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
10 et non audivimus vocem Domini Dei nostri ut ambularemus in lege eius quam posuit nobis per servos suos prophetas
and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.
11 Et omnis Israel praevaricati sunt legem tuam et declinaverunt ne audirent vocem tuam et stillavit super nos maledictio et detestatio quae scripta est in libro Moysi servi Dei quia peccavimus ei
All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.
12 Et statuit sermones suos quos locutus est super nos et super principes nostros qui iudicaverunt nos ut superinduceret in nos magnum malum quale numquam fuit sub omni caelo secundum quod factum est in Ierusalem
You have carried out the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a great disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.
13 Sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi omne malum hoc venit super nos et non rogavimus faciem tuam Domine Deus noster ut reverteremur ab iniquitatibus nostris et cogitaremus veritatem tuam
Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.
14 Et vigilavit Dominus super malitiam et adduxit eam super nos iustus Dominus Deus noster in omnibus operibus suis quae fecit non enim audivimus vocem eius
Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.
15 Et nunc Domine Deus noster qui eduxisti populum tuum de Terra Aegypti in manu forti et fecisti tibi nomen secundum diem hanc peccavimus iniquitatem fecimus
Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and who made for Yourself a name renowned to this day, we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.
16 Domine in omnem iustitiam tuam avertatur obsecro ira tua et furor tuus a civitate tua Ierusalem et monte sancto tuo Propter peccata enim nostra et iniquitates patrum nostrorum Ierusalem et populus tuus in opprobrium sunt omnibus per circuitum nostrum
O Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, I pray that Your anger and wrath may turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all around us.
17 Nunc ergo exaudi Deus noster orationem servi tui et preces eius et ostende faciem tuam super sanctuarium tuum quod desertum est propter temetipsum
So now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine upon Your desolate sanctuary.
18 Inclina Deus meus aurem tuam et audi aperi oculos tuos et vide desolationem nostram et civitatem super quam invocatum est nomen tuum neque enim in iustificationibus nostris prosternimus preces ante faciem tuam sed in miserationibus tuis multis
Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.
19 Exaudi Domine placare Domine attende et fac ne moreris propter temetipsum Deus meus quia nomen tuum invocatum est super civitatem et super populum tuum
O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”
20 Cumque adhuc loquerer et orarem et confiterer peccata mea et peccata populi mei Israel et prosternerem preces meas in conspectu Dei mei pro monte sancto Dei mei
While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—
21 Adhuc me loquente in oratione ecce vir Gabriel quem videram in visione a principio cito volans tetigit me in tempore sacrificii vespertini
while I was still praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 Et docuit me et locutus est mihi dixitque Daniel nunc egressus sum ut docerem te et intelligeres
He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.
23 Ab exordio precum tuarum egressus est sermo ego autem veni ut indicarem tibi quia vir desideriorum es tu ergo animadverte sermonem et intellige visionem
At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:
24 Septuaginta hebdomades abbreviatae sunt super populum tuum et super urbem sanctam tuam ut consummetur praevaricatio et finem accipiat peccatum et deleatur iniquitas et adducatur iustitia sempiterna et impleatur visio et prophetia et ungatur Sanctus sanctorum
Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
25 Scito ergo et animadverte Ab exitu sermonis ut iterum aedificetur Ierusalem usque ad Christum ducem hebdomades septem et hebdomades sexaginta duae erunt et rursum aedificabitur platea et muri in angustia temporum
Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.
26 Et post hebdomades sexaginta duas occidetur Christus et non erit eius populus qui eum negaturus est Et civitatem et sanctuarium dissipabit populus cum duce venturo et finis eius vastitas et post finem belli statuta desolatio
Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.
27 Confirmabit autem pactum multis hebdomada una et in dimidio hebdomadis deficiet hostia et sacrificium et erit in templo abominatio desolationis et usque ad consummationem et finem perseverabit desolatio
And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”
