Daniel 9
1 No primeiro ano de Dario o filho de Assuero, da descendência dos Medos, que foi feito 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 dos anos sobre os quais a palavra de Javé veio a Jeremias o profeta para a realização das desolações de Jerusalém, mesmo 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 Coloquei meu rosto ao Senhor Deus, para buscar pela oração e pelas petições, com jejum, saco e cinzas.
[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 Eu rezei a Javé, meu Deus, e fiz confissão, e disse, “Oh, Senhor, o grande e terrível Deus, que mantém pactos e bondade amorosa com aqueles 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 we pecaram, e trataram perversamente, e fizeram perversamente, e se rebelaram, mesmo desviando-se de seus preceitos e de suas ordenanças.
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 ouvimos seus servos, os profetas, que falaram em seu nome aos nossos reis, aos nossos príncipes, aos 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 “Senhor, a justiça vos pertence, mas a nós confusão de rosto, como é hoje; aos homens de Judá, e aos habitantes de Jerusalém, e a todo Israel, que estão próximos e distantes, através de todos os países para onde vós os tendes conduzido, por causa de sua transgressão que eles transgrediram contra vós.
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 Senhor, a nós pertence a confusão de rosto, a nossos reis, a nossos príncipes, e a nossos pais, porque pecamos 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 pertence a misericórdia e o perdão, pois nos rebelamos contra ele.
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 Não obedecemos à voz de Javé nosso Deus, para caminhar em suas leis, que Ele nos apresentou 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 Sim, todo Israel transgrediu a sua lei, afastando-se, para não obedecer a sua voz. ' “Portanto, a maldição e o juramento escrito na lei de Moisés, servo de Deus, foi derramado sobre nós, pois pecamos contra ele”.
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 Ele confirmou suas palavras, que ele falou contra nós e contra nossos juízes que nos julgaram, trazendo sobre nós um grande mal; pois sob todo o céu não se fez tal como se fez com 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 Como está escrito na lei de Moisés, todo este mal veio sobre nós. No entanto, não pedimos o favor de Javé, nosso Deus, para que nos desviemos de nossas iniqüidades e tenhamos discernimento em sua 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 Portanto, Javé velou pelo mal e o trouxe sobre nós; pois Javé, nosso Deus, é justo em todas as suas obras que faz, e nós não obedecemos à 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, Senhor nosso Deus, que tirou seu povo da terra do Egito com uma mão poderosa, e se tornou conhecido, como é hoje, nós pecamos. Fizemos maldades.
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 Senhor, de acordo com toda a tua justiça, por favor, que tua raiva e tua ira sejam desviadas de tua cidade Jerusalém, tua montanha santa; porque por nossos pecados e pelas iniqüidades de nossos pais, Jerusalém e teu povo se tornaram uma reprovação para 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, portanto, nosso Deus, escute a oração de seu servo e suas petições, e faça brilhar seu rosto em seu santuário que está desolado, 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 Meu Deus, vira teu ouvido e ouve. Abre teus olhos e vê nossas desolações, e a cidade que é chamada pelo teu nome; pois não apresentamos nossas petições diante de ti por nossa justiça, mas por tua grande misericórdia.
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 Senhor, escutai. Senhor, perdoai. Senhor, escutai e fazei. Não adieis, por vosso próprio bem, meu Deus, porque vossa cidade e vosso povo são chamados por vosso 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 estava falando, orando e confessando meu pecado e o pecado de meu povo Israel, e apresentando minha súplica diante de Javé meu Deus pela montanha sagrada 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 sim, enquanto eu estava falando em oração - o homem Gabriel, que eu tinha visto na visão no início, sendo levado a voar rapidamente, tocou-me sobre a hora da oferenda noturna.
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 Ele me instruiu e falou comigo, e disse: “Daniel, eu vim agora para te dar sabedoria e compreensão.
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 início de suas petições, o mandamento saiu, e eu vim para lhe dizer, pois você é muito amado. Portanto, considere o assunto e compreenda 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 são decretadas sobre seu povo e sobre sua cidade santa, para acabar com a desobediência, para acabar com os pecados, para fazer a reconciliação pela iniqüidade, para trazer a justiça eterna, para selar a visão e a profecia, e para ungir o santíssimo.
[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 “Saiba portanto e descubra que da saída do mandamento de restaurar e construir Jerusalém até o Ungido, o príncipe, serão sete semanas e sessenta e duas semanas. Ela será construída novamente, com rua e fosso, mesmo em tempos conturbados.
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 Após as sessenta e duas semanas, o Ungido será cortado, e não terá nada. O povo do príncipe que vier destruirá a cidade e o santuário. Seu fim será com uma inundação, e a guerra será até o fim. As desolações estão determinadas.
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 Ele fará um pacto firme com muitos durante uma semana. No meio da semana, ele fará cessar o sacrifício e a oferta. Na ala das abominações virá aquele que torna desolado; e mesmo até o fim decretado, a ira será derramada sobre o desolado”.
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.”
