Danihelis Prophetæ 9
1 In anno primo Darii filii Assueri de semine Medorum qui imperavit super regnum Chaldaeorum
In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldaeans;
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 rule, I, Daniel, saw clearly from the books the number of years given by the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, in which the making waste of Jerusalem was to be complete, that is, seventy years.
3 Et posui faciem meam ad Dominum Deum meum rogare et deprecari in ieiuniis sacco et cinere
And turning my face to the Lord God, I gave myself up to prayer, requesting his grace, going without food, in haircloth and dust.
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 made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;
5 Peccavimus iniquitatem fecimus impie egimus et recessimus et declinavimus a mandatis tuis ac iudiciis
We are sinners, acting wrongly and doing evil; we have gone against you, turning away from your orders and from your laws:
6 Non obedivimus servis tuis prophetis qui locuti sunt in nomine tuo regibus nostris principibus nostris patribus nostris omnique populo terrae
We have not given ear to your servants the prophets, who said words in your name to our kings and our rulers and our fathers and 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
O Lord, righteousness is yours, but shame is on us, even to this day; and on the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and on all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off, in all the countries where you have sent them because of the sin which they have done against you.
8 Domine nobis confusio faciei regibus nostris principibus nostris et patribus nostris qui peccaverunt
O Lord, shame is on us, on our kings and our rulers and our fathers, because of our sin against you.
9 Tibi autem Domino Deo nostro misericordia et propitiatio quia recessimus a te
With the Lord our God are mercies and forgiveness, for we have gone 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 given ear to the voice of the Lord our God to go in the way of his laws which he put before us by the mouth of 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
And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.
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
And he has given effect to his words which he said against us and against those who were our judges, by sending a great evil on us: for under all heaven there has not been done 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
As it was recorded in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us: but we have made no prayer for grace from the Lord our God that we might be turned from our evil doings and come to true wisdom.
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
So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to 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
And now, O Lord our God, who took your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and made a great name for yourself even to this day; we are sinners, we have done evil.
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, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about 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
And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.
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
O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.
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, give ear; O Lord, have forgiveness; O Lord, take note and do; let there be no more waiting; for the honour of your name, O my God, because your town and your people are named by 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
And while I was still saying these words in prayer, and putting my sins and the sins of my people Israel before the Lord, and requesting grace from the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21 Adhuc me loquente in oratione ecce vir Gabriel quem videram in visione a principio cito volans tetigit me in tempore sacrificii vespertini
Even while I was still in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at first when my weariness was great, put his hand on me about the time of the evening offering.
22 Et docuit me et locutus est mihi dixitque Daniel nunc egressus sum ut docerem te et intelligeres
And teaching me and talking to me he said, O Daniel, I have come now to give you wisdom.
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 first word of your prayer a word went out, and I have come to give you knowledge; for you are a man dearly loved: so give thought to the word and let the vision be clear to you.
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 have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a 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
Have then the certain knowledge that from the going out of the word for the building again of Jerusalem till the coming of a prince, on whom the holy oil has been put, will be seven weeks: in sixty-two weeks its building will be complete, with square and earthwork.
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
And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no...; and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.
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 a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.
