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 offspring of the Medes, who was made king over the realm 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 by the books the number of the years about which the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
3 Et posui faciem meam ad Dominum Deum meum rogare et deprecari in ieiuniis sacco et cinere
I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and 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
I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, “Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with 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 have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances.
6 Non obedivimus servis tuis prophetis qui locuti sunt in nomine tuo regibus nostris principibus nostris patribus nostris omnique populo terrae
We haven’t listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our 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
“Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as it is today; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 Domine nobis confusio faciei regibus nostris principibus nostris et patribus nostris qui peccaverunt
Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to 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 mercies and forgiveness, for 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
We haven’t obeyed the LORD our God’s voice, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by 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
Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that they should not obey your voice. “Therefore the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, for we have sinned 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
He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil; for under the whole sky, such has not been done as 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 is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in 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 watched over the evil, and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and 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, Lord our God, who has brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten yourself renown, as it is today, we have sinned. We have done 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
Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are 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
“Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
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
My God, turn your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by your name; for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies’ sake.
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
Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and do. Don’t defer, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called 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
While I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before 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
yes, while I was speaking in prayer—the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched 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
He instructed me and talked with me, and said, “Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom 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 the commandment went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter 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 on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
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 therefore and discern that from the going out of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times.
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
After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off, and will have nothing. The people of the prince who come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will be with a flood, and war will be even to the end. Desolations are determined.
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
He will make a firm covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. On the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate; and even to the decreed full end, wrath will be poured out on the desolate.”
