Daniel 9
1 No ano primeiro de Dario, filho de Assuero, da nação dos medos, o qual foi posto por rei sobre o reino dos caldeus;
[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 primeiro ano de seu reinado, eu, Daniel, entendi pelos livros o número de anos, dos quais o SENHOR falara ao profeta Jeremias, que havia de acabar a assolação de Jerusalém, era setenta anos.
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 Então dirigi meu rosto ao Senhor Deus, para [o] buscar com oração e rogos, em jejum, saco, 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 declarei, dizendo: Ó Senhor, Deus grande e temível, que guarda o pacto e a misericórdia com os que o amam e guardam seus 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 Nós pecamos, cometemos maldade; agimos perversamente, e fomos rebeldes, por termos nos desviado de teus mandamentos e de teus juízos.
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 Não demos ouvido a teus servos, os profetas, que em teu nome falaram a nossos reis, nossos príncipes, nossos pais, e 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 A ti, Senhor, pertence a justiça, mas a nós a vergonha de rosto, tal como hoje [estamos], todo homem de Judá, os moradores de Jerusalém, e todo Israel, os de perto e os de longe, em todas as terras para onde os tens lançado por causa de sua transgressão com que transgrediram 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 vergonha de rosto, a nossos reis, nossos príncipes, e nossos pais; porque contra ti pecamos.
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, pertence a misericórdia e os perdões, ainda que contra ele tenhamos nos rebelado;
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 E não obedecemos à voz do SENHOR nosso Deus, para andar em suas leis, as quais ele nos deu por meio de seus servos os profetas.
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 Israel transgrediu tua lei, desviando-se para não ouvir tua voz; por isso a maldição, e o juramento que está escrito na lei de Moisés, servo de Deus, foram derramados sobre nós; porque contra ele pecamos.
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 ele confirmou sua palavra que falou sobre nós, e sobre nossos juízes que nos julgavam, trazendo sobre nós tão grande mal, que nunca havia sido feito debaixo do céu como o que foi feito em Jerusalém.
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 Assim como está escrito na Lei de Moisés, todo aquele mal veio sobre nós; contudo não suplicamos à face do SENHOR nosso Deus, para nos convertermos de nossas maldades, e entender a 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 O SENHOR vigiou sobre o mal, e o trouxe sobre nós; porque justo é o SENHOR nosso Deus em todas suas obras que fez; pois não obedecemos a 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 Agora pois, ó Senhor nosso Deus, que tiraste teu povo da terra do Egito com mão poderosa, e fizeste famoso o teu nome até hoje; temos pecado, agimos com maldade.
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 tuas justiças, desvie agora tua ira e teu furor de sobre a tua cidade Jerusalém, teu santo monte; pois por causa de nossos pecados, e pela maldades de nossos pais, Jerusalém e teu povo foram humilhados por todos os que estão ao nosso 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 de teu servo, e suas súplicas, e faze que teu rosto resplandeça sobre teu santuário assolado, por causa 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, teus ouvidos, e ouve; abre teus olhos, e olha para nossas assolações, e para a cidade que é chamada pelo teu nome; pois não apresentamos nossas súplicas diante de ti [confiando] em nossas justiças, mas sim em tuas muitas misericórdias.
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 Ouve, Senhor; ó Senhor, perdoa; presta atenção, Senhor, e faze sem demorar, por causa de ti mesmo, Deus meu; pois a tua cidade e teu povo são chamados 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 Enquanto eu ainda estava falando e orando, e confessando meu pecado e o pecado de meu povo Israel, e apresentando minha súplica diante do SENHOR meu Deus, pelo monte santo de 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 Estava eu falando em oração, e aquele varão Gabriel, ao qual eu tinha visto em visão antes, veio voando apressadamente, e me tocou cerca da hora do sacrifício 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] explicou, e falou comigo, dizendo: Daniel, agora saí para te fazer 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 princípio de tuas súplicas a palavra saiu, e eu vim para te declarar, pois tu és muito querido. Considera, pois a 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 teu povo e sobre tua santa cidade, para acabar a transgressão, para encerrar o pecado, para expiar a maldade, e para trazer a justiça eterna; para selar a visão e a profecia, e para ungir o Santo dos santos
[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 pois e entendas: desde a saída da palavra para restaurar e edificar a Jerusalém até o Messias, o Príncipe, haverá sete semanas, e sessenta e duas semanas; voltará a ser construída com praças e muro, porém em tempos angustiosos.
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 o Messias será exterminado, e nada terá para si; e o povo do príncipe que virá destruirá à cidade e o santuário; o fim dela será com inundação, e até o fim da guerra estão determinadas 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 firmará um pacto com muitos por uma semana; e na metade da semana fará cessar o sacrifício e a oferta de alimentos; depois sobre a asa das abominações será o assolador, e isto até que seja derramado o fim determinado sobre o assolador.
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.”
