Daniel 9
1 No anno primeiro de Dario, filho de Assuero, da nação dos medos, o qual foi constituido rei sobre o reino dos chaldeos,
[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.
2 No anno primeiro do seu reinado, eu, Daniel, entendi pelos livros que o numero dos annos, dos quaes fallou o Senhor ao propheta Jeremias, em que haviam de acabar as assolações de Jerusalem, era de setenta annos.
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.
3 E eu dirigi o meu rosto ao Senhor Deus, para o buscar com oração e rogos, com jejum, e sacco e cinza.
[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].
4 E orei ao Senhor meu Deus, e confessei, e disse: Ah! Senhor! Deus grande e tremendo, que guardas o concerto e a misericordia para com os que te amam e guardam os teus mandamentos.
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].
5 Peccámos, e commettemos iniquidade, e fizemos impiamente, e fomos rebeldes, apartando-nos dos teus mandamentos e dos teus juizos;
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].
6 E não démos ouvidos aos teus servos, os prophetas, que em teu nome fallaram aos nossos reis, aos nossos principes, e a nossos paes, como tambem a todo o povo da terra.
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.
7 Tua, ó Senhor, é a justiça, mas a nós pertence confusão de rosto, como se vê n'este dia, aos homens de Judah, e aos moradores de Jerusalem, e a todo o Israel; aos de perto e aos de longe, em todas as terras por onde os tens lançado, por causa da sua prevaricação, com que prevaricaram contra ti.
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.
8 Ó Senhor, a nós pertence a confusão de rosto, aos nossos reis, aos nossos principes, e a nossos paes, porque peccámos contra ti.
Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
9 Ao Senhor, nosso Deus, pertencem as misericordias e os perdões; ainda que nos rebellámos contra elle,
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 E não obedecemos á voz do Senhor, nosso Deus, para andarmos nas suas leis, que nos deu pela mão de seus servos, os prophetas.
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.
11 E todo o Israel traspassou a tua lei, apartando-se para não obedecer á tua voz; por isso a maldição e o juramento, que está escripto na lei de Moysés, servo de Deus, se derramou sobre nós; porque peccámos contra elle.
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.
12 E elle confirmou a sua palavra, que fallou contra nós, e contra os nossos juizes que nos julgavam, trazendo sobre nós um grande mal; que nunca foi feito debaixo de todo o céu como foi feito em Jerusalem.
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.
13 Como está escripto na lei de Moysés, todo aquelle mal nos sobreveiu: comtudo não supplicámos á face do Senhor nosso Deus, para nos convertermos das nossas iniquidades, e para nos applicarmos á tua verdade.
[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.
14 E apressurou-se o Senhor sobre o mal, e o trouxe sobre nós; porque justo é o Senhor, nosso Deus, em todas as suas obras, que fez, pois não obedecemos á sua voz
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.
15 Ora pois, ó Senhor, nosso Deus, que tiraste o teu povo da terra do Egypto com mão poderosa, e ganhaste para ti nome, como se vê n'este dia, peccámos; obrámos impiamente.
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.
16 Ó Senhor, segundo todas as tuas justiças pois, aparte-se a tua ira e o teu furor da tua cidade de Jerusalem, do teu sancto monte; porque por causa dos nossos peccados, e por causa das iniquidades de nossos paes, vieram Jerusalem e o teu povo a servir de opprobrio a todos os que nos estão em redor.
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.
17 Agora pois, ó Deus nosso, ouve a oração do teu servo, e as suas supplicas, e sobre o teu sanctuario assolado faze resplandecer o teu rosto, por amor do Senhor.
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].
18 Inclina, ó Deus meu, os teus ouvidos; e ouve: abre os teus olhos, e olha para a nossa desolação, e para a cidade a qual é chamada pelo teu nome, porque não lançamos as nossas supplicas perante a tua face fiados em nossas justiças, mas em tuas muitas misericordias.
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.
19 Ó Senhor, ouve: ó Senhor, perdoa; ó Senhor, attende-nos e obra sem tardar; por amor de ti mesmo, ó Deus meu; porque a tua cidade e o teu povo se chamam pelo teu nome.
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)!
20 Estando eu ainda fallando e orando, e confessando o meu peccado, e o peccado do meu povo Israel, e lançando a minha supplica perante a face do Senhor, meu Deus, pelo monte sancto do meu Deus,
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].
21 Estando eu, digo, ainda fallando na oração, o varão Gabriel, que eu tinha visto ao principio, veiu, voando rapidamente, tocando-me, como á hora do sacrificio da tarde.
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.
22 E me instruiu, e fallou comigo, e disse: Daniel, agora sahi para fazer-te entender o sentido.
He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
23 No principio das tuas supplicas, saiu a palavra, e eu vim, para t'o declarar, porque és mui amado: toma pois bem sentido da palavra, e entende a visão.
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].
24 Setenta semanas estão determinadas sobre o teu povo, e sobre a tua sancta cidade, para consumir a transgressão, e para acabar os peccados, e para expiar a iniquidade, e para trazer a justiça eterna, e para sellar a visão e o propheta, e para ungir o Sancto dos sanctos.
[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].
25 Sabe e entende: desde a saida da palavra para fazer tornar, e para edificar a Jerusalem, até ao Messias, o Principe, sete semanas, e sessenta e duas semanas: as ruas e as tranqueiras se reedificarão, porém em tempos angustiados.
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.
26 E depois das sessenta e duas semanas será desarreigado o Messias, e não será mais: e o povo do principe, que virá, destruirá a cidade e o sanctuario, e o seu fim será com uma innundação; e até ao fim da guerra estão determinadas as assolações.
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].
27 E confirmará concerto com muitos uma semana: e na metade da semana fará cessar o sacrificio e a offerta de manjares; e sobre a ala das abominações virá assolador, e isso até á consummação; e o que está determinado será derramado sobre o assolado
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.”
