Daniel 9
1. In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867
Dar<yavesh > the son <1121 ben > of Ahasuerus <0325 >Achashverowsh >, of the
seed <2233 zera< > of the Medes <4074 Maday >, which <0834 >aher > was made
king <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > the realm <4438 malkuwth > of the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >;
2 In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >
I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > understood <0995 biyn > by books <5612 cepher > the
number <4557 micpar > of the years <8141 shaneh >, whereof <0834 >aher > the
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, that he would accomplish <4390
male> > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > years <8141 shaneh > in the desolations
<2723 chorbah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
3 And I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > unto the Lord <0136
>Adonay > God <0430 >elohiym >, to seek <1245 baqash > by prayer <8605
t@phillah > and supplications <8469 tachanuwn >, with fasting <6685 tsowm >,
and sackcloth <8242 saq >, and ashes <0665 >epher >:
4. And I prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430
>elohiym >, and made my confession <3034 yadah >, and said <0559 >amar >, O
Lord <0136 >Adonay >, the great <1419 gadowl > and dreadful <3372 yare> > God
<0410 >el >, keeping <8104 shamar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy
<2617 checed > to them that love <0157 >ahab > him, and to them that keep
<8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >;
5 We have sinned <2398 chata> >, and have committed <5753 <avah > iniquity
<5753 <avah >, and have done wickedly <7561 rasha< >, and have rebelled <4775
marad >, even by departing <5493 cuwr > from thy precepts <4687 mitsvah > and
from thy judgments <4941 mishpat >:
6 Neither <3808 lo> > have we hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thy servants
<5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, which <0834 >aher > spake <1696
dabar > in thy name <8034 shem > to our kings <4428 melek >, our princes
<8269 sar >, and our fathers <1>, and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am
> of the land <0776 >erets >.
7 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > [belongeth] unto
thee, but unto us confusion <1322 bosheth > of faces <6440 paniym >, as at
this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >; to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, and unto all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that are]
near <7138 qarowb >, and [that are] far <7350 rachowq > off, through all
<3605 kol > the countries <0776 >erets > whither thou hast driven <5080
nadach > them, because of their trespass <4604 ma<al > that they have
trespassed <4603 ma<al > against thee.
8 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, to us [belongeth] confusion <1322 bosheth > of
face <6440 paniym >, to our kings <4428 melek >, to our princes <8269 sar >,
and to our fathers <1>, because <0834 >aher > we have sinned <2398 chata> >
against thee.
9 To the Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 >elohiym > [belong] mercies
<7356 racham > and forgivenesses <5547 c@liychah >, though <3588 kiy > we
have rebelled <4775 marad > against him;
10 Neither <3808 lo> > have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >, to walk <3212 yalak >
in his laws <8451 towrah >, which <0834 >aher > he set <5414 nathan > before
<6440 paniym > us by his servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.
11 Yea, all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have transgressed <5674
<abar > thy law <8451 towrah >, even by departing <5493 cuwr >, that they
might not obey <8085 shama< > thy voice <6963 qowl >; therefore the curse
<0423 >alah > is poured <5413 nathak > upon us, and the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah
> that [is] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of Moses <4872
Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of God <0430 >elohiym >, because <3588 kiy
> we have sinned <2398 chata> > against him.
12 And he hath confirmed <6965 quwm > his words <1697 dabar >, which <0834
>aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > us, and against <5921 <al
> our judges <8199 shaphat > that judged <8199 shaphat > us, by bringing
<0935 bow> > upon us a great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< >: for under <8478
tachath > the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > hath not been done as
hath been done <6213 <asah > upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
13 As [it is] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of Moses
<4872 Mosheh >, all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > is come
<0935 bow> > upon us: yet made we not our prayer <2470 chalah > before the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >, that we might turn <7725 shuwb
> from our iniquities <5771 <avon >, and understand <7919 sakal > thy truth
<0571 >emeth >.
14 Therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > watched <8245 shaqad > upon the
evil <7451 ra< >, and brought <0935 bow> > it upon us: for the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > [is] righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > in all
<3605 kol > his works <4639 ma<aseh > which <0834 >aher > he doeth <6213
<asah >: for we obeyed <8085 shama< > not his voice <6963 qowl >.
15 And now <6258 <attah >, O Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 >elohiym >,
that hast brought <3318 yatsa> > thy people <5971 <am > forth <3318 yatsa> >
out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with a mighty <2389
chazaq > hand <3027 yad >, and hast gotten <6213 <asah > thee renown <8034
shem >, as at this day <3117 yowm >; we have sinned <2398 chata> >, we have
done wickedly <7561 rasha< >.
16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, according to all <3605 kol > thy righteousness
<6666 ts@daqah >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, let thine anger <0639 >aph >
and thy fury <2534 chemah > be turned <7725 shuwb > away from thy city <5892
<iyr > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, thy holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022
har >: because <3588 kiy > for our sins <2399 chet> >, and for the iniquities
<5771 <avon > of our fathers <1>, Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and thy
people <5971 <am > [are become] a reproach <2781 cherpah > to all <3605 kol >
[that are] about <5439 cabiyb > us.
17 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O our God <0430 >elohiym >, hear <8085
shama< > the prayer <8605 t@phillah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and his
supplications <8469 tachanuwn >, and cause thy face <6440 paniym > to shine
<0215 >owr > upon thy sanctuary <4720 miqdash > that is desolate <8074 shamem
>, for the Lord's <0136 >Adonay > sake <4616 ma<an >.
18 O my God <0430 >elohiym >, incline <5186 natah > thine ear <0241 >ozen >,
and hear <8085 shama< >; open <6491 paqach > thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and
behold <7200 ra>ah > our desolations <8074 shamem >, and the city <5892 <iyr
> which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >: for
we do not present <5307 naphal > our supplications <8469 tachanuwn > before
<6440 paniym > thee for our righteousnesses <6666 ts@daqah >, but for thy
great <7227 rab > mercies <7356 racham >.
19 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, hear <8085 shama< >; O Lord <0136 >Adonay >,
forgive <5545 calach >; O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, hearken <7181 qashab > and do
<6213 <asah >; defer <0309 >achar > not, for thine own sake <4616 ma<an >, O
my God <0430 >elohiym >: for thy city <5892 <iyr > and thy people <5971 <am >
are called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >.
20. And whiles <5750 <owd > I [was] speaking <1696 dabar >, and praying
<6419 palal >, and confessing <3034 yadah > my sin <2403 chatta>ah > and the
sin <2403 chatta>ah > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and
presenting <5307 naphal > my supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440
paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > for the holy <6944
qodesh > mountain <2022 har > of my God <0430 >elohiym >;
21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <1696 dabar > in prayer <8605 t@phillah >,
even the man <0376 >iysh > Gabriel <1403 Gabriy>el >, whom <0834 >aher > I
had seen <7200 ra>ah > in the vision <2377 chazown > at the beginning <8462
t@chillah >, being caused to fly <3286 ya<aph > swiftly <3288 y@aph >,
touched <5060 naga< > me about the time <6256 <eth > of the evening <6153
<ereb > oblation <4503 minchah >.
22 And he informed <0995 biyn > [me], and talked <1696 dabar > with me, and
said <0559 >amar >, O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, I am now <6258 <attah > come
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to give thee skill <7919 sakal > and
understanding <0998 biynah >.
23 At the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of thy supplications <8469 tachanuwn >
the commandment <1697 dabar > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and I
am come <0935 bow> > to shew <5046 nagad > [thee]; for thou [art] greatly
beloved <2530 chamad >: therefore understand <0995 biyn > the matter <1697
dabar >, and consider <0995 biyn > the vision <2377 chazown >.
24 Seventy <7657 shib<iym. > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > are determined <2852
chathak > upon thy people <5971 <am > and upon thy holy <6944 qodesh > city
<5892 <iyr >, to finish <3607 kala> > the transgression <6588 pesha< >, and
to make an end <2856 chatham > of sins <2403 chatta>ah >, and to make
reconciliation <3722 kaphar > for iniquity <5771 <avon >, and to bring <0935
bow> > in everlasting <5769 <owlam > righteousness <6664 tsedeq >, and to
seal <2856 chatham > up the vision <2377 chazown > and prophecy <5030 nabiy>
>, and to anoint <4886 mashach > the most <6944 qodesh > Holy <6944 qodesh >.
25 Know <3045 yada< > therefore and understand <7919 sakal >, [that] from
the going <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > of the commandment <1697
dabar > to restore <7725 shuwb > and to build <1129 banah > Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > unto the Messiah <4899 mashiyach > the Prince <5057 nagiyd >
[shall be] seven <7651 sheba< > weeks <7620 shabuwa< >, and threescore <8346
shishshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< >: the street
<7339 r@chob > shall be built <1129 banah > again <7725 shuwb >, and the wall
<2742 charuwts >, even in troublous <5916 <akar > times <6256 <eth >.
26 And after <0310 >achar > threescore <8346 shishshiym > and two <8147
sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > shall Messiah <4899 mashiyach > be cut
<3772 karath > off, but not for himself: and the people <5971 <am > of the
prince <5057 nagiyd > that shall come <0935 bow> > shall destroy <7843
shachath > the city <5892 <iyr > and the sanctuary <6944 qodesh >; and the
end <7093 qets > thereof [shall be] with a flood <7858 sheteph >, and unto
the end <7093 qets > of the war <4421 milchamah > desolations <8074 shamem >
are determined <2782 charats >.
27 And he shall confirm <1396 gabar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > with many
<7227 rab > for one <0259 >echad > week <7620 shabuwa< >: and in the midst
<2677 chetsiy > of the week <7620 shabuwa< > he shall cause the sacrifice
<2077 zebach > and the oblation <4503 minchah > to cease <7673 shabath >, and
for the overspreading <3671 kanaph > of abominations <8251 shiqquwts > he
shall make [it] desolate <8074 shamem >, even until <5704 <ad > the
consummation <3617 kalah >, and that determined <2782 charats > shall be
poured <5413 nathak > upon the desolate <8076 shamem >.
