In the first year of Darius the
son of Ahasuerus
, of
the
seed
of
the
Medes
, which
was made king
over the realm
of the Chaldeans ;
In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes
, a
Mede
by
descent
, who
was made ruler
over the kingdom
of the Chaldeans —
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by
books
the
number
of
the years
, whereof
the word of the LORD came
to Jeremiah the prophet, that he
would
accomplish
seventy
years
in
the desolations
of Jerusalem.
in the first year of his reign ,
I ,
Daniel ,
understood from
the sacred
books
, according
to
the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation
of Jerusalem would
last
seventy
years
.
And
I set
my face
unto
the Lord God ,
to seek by prayer and supplications
, with fasting, and
sackcloth, and ashes :
So
I turned
my attention
to
the Lord God to seek Him
by prayer and petition
, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes .
And I prayed unto
the LORD my God ,
and made
my
confession,
and
said
, O Lord, the great and dreadful
God, keeping
the
covenant and
mercy
to them
that
love him ,
and to
them
that
keep his commandments ;
And I prayed to
the LORD my God and confessed
, “
O ,
Lord, the great and awesome
God, who
keeps
His
covenant of
loving
devotion
to those
who
love Him and keep His commandments ,
We have sinned ,
and have
committed
iniquity,
and
have
done wickedly ,
and have
rebelled ,
even
by
departing
from thy
precepts
and from
thy
judgments:
we have sinned and done wrong.
We
have
acted
wickedly and rebelled .
We
have
turned
away
from Your
commandments
and ordinances.
Neither
have
we hearkened
unto
thy
servants the prophets, which
spake
in thy
name to our kings, our
princes
, and our
fathers, and to all the people of the land.
We have
not
listened
to
Your
servants the prophets, who
spoke
in Your
name to our kings, leaders
, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.
O LORD, righteousness belongeth
unto
thee
, but unto
us
confusion
of
faces,
as
at
this day ;
to
the men of Judah, and
to
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, and unto
all Israel ,
that
are
near ,
and that
are
far off
, through
all the countries whither
thou
hast
driven them,
because of their
trespass
that
they
have
trespassed
against
thee
.
To
You,
O Lord, belongs
righteousness, but this day we
are
covered
with
shame—
the men of Judah, the people
of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in
all the countries to
which
You
have
driven us
because of our
unfaithfulness
to
You
.
O Lord, to
us
belongeth
confusion
of
face,
to
our kings, to
our princes
, and to
our fathers ,
because we have sinned against thee
.
O LORD, we
are
covered
with
shame—
our kings, our leaders
, and our fathers —
because we have sinned against You
.
To the Lord our God belong mercies
and forgivenesses
, though we have rebelled against him ;
To the Lord our God belong compassion
and forgiveness
, even
though we have rebelled against Him
Neither
have we
obeyed the voice of the LORD our God ,
to walk in his laws, which he set before us by
his servants the prophets.
and
have not
obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through
His servants the prophets.
Yea,
all Israel have
transgressed thy
law ,
even
by
departing
, that
they
might
not
obey thy
voice; therefore
the curse
is
poured
upon
us,
and the oath
that
is
written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him
.
All Israel has
transgressed Your
law and
turned
away
, refusing
to
obey Your
voice; so
the oath
and the curse
written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has
been
poured
out
on
us
, because we have sinned against You
.
And
he
hath
confirmed
his
words ,
which
he
spake
against us ,
and against our judges
that
judged
us,
by bringing upon us a great evil:
for under the
whole
heaven hath
not
been done as
hath
been done upon
Jerusalem.
You
have
carried
out
the
words spoken
against us and against our rulers
by bringing upon us a great disaster.
For under all
of
heaven ,
nothing
has
ever
been done like
what
has
been done to
Jerusalem.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil
is
come upon us :
yet made
we not our
prayer
before
the LORD our God ,
that
we
might
turn
from our iniquities ,
and understand
thy
truth.
Just
as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster
has
come upon us ,
yet we have
not sought
the favor
of
the
LORD our God by
turning
from our iniquities and giving
attention
to
Your
truth.
Therefore hath
the LORD watched
upon
the evil,
and brought it upon us :
for the LORD our God is righteous in all his
works
which
he doeth:
for
we obeyed
not his voice.
Therefore the LORD has
kept
the calamity
in
store
and brought it upon us .
For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does;
yet
we have
not obeyed
His voice.
And
now, O Lord our God, that
hast
brought thy
people forth
out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast
gotten
thee
renown,
as
at
this day ;
we have sinned ,
we have done
wickedly.
Now, O Lord our God, who
brought Your
people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and who
made
for
Yourself
a
name
renowned
to
this day ,
we have sinned ;
we have acted
wickedly.
O LORD, according
to
all thy
righteousness
, I beseech
thee,
let
thine
anger and thy
fury
be
turned
away from thy
city Jerusalem, thy
holy mountain :
because
for our sins ,
and for
the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy
people are become
a reproach to all that
are
about
us.
O Lord, in
keeping
with
all Your
righteous
acts
, I pray
that
Your
anger and wrath
may
turn
away from Your
city Jerusalem, Your
holy mountain ;
for because
of
our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your
people are a reproach to all around
us.
Now therefore
, O
our God, hear the prayer
of thy
servant, and
his
supplications
, and
cause thy
face to shine upon thy
sanctuary
that
is
desolate ,
for
the
Lord's
sake
.
So
now, our God, hear the prayers
and
petitions
of Your
servant .
For
Your
sake
, O
Lord
, cause Your
face to shine upon Your
desolate sanctuary
.
O my God, incline
thine
ear,
and hear; open thine
eyes ,
and behold
our
desolations,
and
the city which
is
called
by
thy
name :
for we do
not present
our supplications
before thee
for
our righteousnesses
, but for
thy
great mercies
.
Incline
Your
ear,
O my God, and hear; open Your
eyes and see
the desolation
of
the
city that
bears
Your
name .
For we are
not presenting
our petitions
before You
because
of
our righteous
acts
, but because
of
Your
great compassion
.
O Lord, hear;
O Lord, forgive ;
O Lord, hearken
and do;
defer
not,
for thine
own
sake, O my God :
for
thy
city and thy
people are
called
by
thy
name.
O Lord, listen!
O Lord, forgive !
O Lord, hear
and act!
For Your
sake, O my God ,
do
not
delay,
because
Your
city and Your
people bear
Your
name. ”
And
whiles
I was speaking, and
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;
While
I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that
of my people Israel, and presenting my petition
before the LORD my God concerning
His
holy mountain —
Yea,
whiles
I was speaking
in
prayer
, even
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 oblation
.
while
I was still
praying
, Gabriel, the
man
I had seen in the earlier
vision, came
to me in
swift
flight
about the time of the evening sacrifice
.
And
he informed
me ,
and talked
with me, and
said,
O Daniel, I am
now
come forth
to give thee
skill
and understanding.
He instructed
me and spoke
with me, saying:
“
O Daniel, I have
come now
to give you
insight
and understanding.
At the beginning of thy
supplications
the
commandment
came
forth
, and I am
come to shew
thee;
for thou
art
greatly
beloved:
therefore
understand
the matter,
and consider
the vision .
At the beginning of your
petitions
, an
answer
went
out,
and I have
come to tell
you,
for you
are
highly
precious.
So
consider
the message
and understand
the vision :
Seventy weeks are determined
upon
thy
people and upon
thy
holy city ,
to finish
the
transgression, and
to make
an end of
sins
, and
to make reconciliation
for iniquity, and
to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
to seal up the
vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Seventy weeks are decreed
for
your
people and your
holy city to stop
their
transgression, to put
an end to
sin
, to make atonement
for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place
.
Know therefore
and understand ,
that
from the going
forth
of the commandment
to restore and to
build
Jerusalem unto
the Messiah the Prince shall
be seven weeks ,
and threescore
and
two weeks :
the
street
shall
be built
again,
and the
wall
, even
in troublous
times.
Know and understand this:
From the issuance
of the decree
to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem ,
until
the Messiah ,
the Prince ,
there
will
be seven weeks and sixty-
two weeks .
It
will
be rebuilt
with
streets
and a
trench
, but
in times of
distress
.
And
after threescore
and
two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off ,
but
not
for
himself:
and the people of the prince that
shall
come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary ;
and
the end thereof
shall
be
with
a flood, and unto
the end of
the
war desolations are
determined
.
Then
after the
sixty-
two weeks the
Messiah will
be cut off and will
have
nothing.
Then
the people of the prince who
is
to
come will
destroy the city and the sanctuary .
The end will
come
like
a flood, and until
the end there
will
be
war ;
desolations have
been
decreed
.
And he shall
confirm the
covenant with many for one week :
and
in the midst
of the week he shall
cause
the
sacrifice and the
oblation
to
cease,
and for
the overspreading
of abominations
he
shall
make
it
desolate
, even
until the consummation,
and
that
determined
shall
be
poured upon the
desolate
.
And he will
confirm a
covenant with many for one week ,
but
in the middle
of the week he will
put
an
end
to
sacrifice and offering.
And on
the wing
of the
temple
will
come
the
abomination
that
causes
desolation
, until the decreed
destruction
is
poured out
upon him
. ”
