World English Bible
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 Darius the
son of Ahasuerus
, of
the
seed
of
the
Medes
, who was made king
over the realm
of the Chaldeans ,
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.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by
the books the number
of the years
about
which
the
word
of
Yahweh
came
to Jeremiah the prophet, for
the accomplishing
of the
desolations
of
Jerusalem ,
even
seventy years.
So
I turned
my attention
to the Lord God to seek Him
by prayer and petition
, with fasting ,
sackcloth ,
and ashes.
I set
my face
to the Lord God ,
to seek by prayer and petitions
, with fasting and
sackcloth and ashes.
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,
I prayed to Yahweh
my God ,
and made
confession
, and
said
, Oh,
Lord, the great and dreadful
God, who keeps covenant and
loving kindness
with
those who love him and keep his commandments,
we have sinned and done
wrong.
We
have acted
wickedly and rebelled.
We
have turned
away
from Your commandments
and ordinances .
we have sinned ,
and have dealt
perversely,
and
have
done
wickedly ,
and have rebelled,
even
turning
aside
from your precepts
and from
your
ordinances ;
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.
neither
have we
listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our
princes
, and our
fathers, and to all the people of the land.
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.
Lord, righteousness belongs
to
you
, but to
us
confusion
of
face,
as
at
this day ;
to
the men of Judah, and
to
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, and to
all Israel ,
who
are
near ,
and who
are
far off
, through
all the countries where
you have driven them,
because of their
trespass
that
they
have
trespassed
against
you.
O
LORD, we
are
covered
with
shame—
our kings, our leaders
, and our fathers —
because we have sinned against You.
Lord, to
us
belongs
confusion
of
face,
to
our kings, to
our princes
, and to
our fathers ,
because we have sinned against you.
To the Lord our God belong compassion
and forgiveness ,
even
though
we have rebelled against Him
To the Lord our God belong mercies
and forgiveness ;
for
we have rebelled against him ;
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.
neither
have we
obeyed the voice of Yahweh
our God ,
to walk in his laws, which he set before us by
his servants the prophets.
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
.
Yes,
all Israel have
transgressed your law, even
turning
aside,
that
they
should
not
obey your voice :
therefore
has
the curse
been
poured
out
on
us,
and the oath
that
is
written in the law of Moses the servant of God ;
for
we have sinned against him
.
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.
He
has
confirmed
his
words ,
which
he
spoke
against us ,
and against our judges
who
judged
us,
by bringing on
us a great evil;
for under the
whole
sky
has not
been done as
has been done on
Jerusalem.
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.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil
is
come on
us :
yet have we
not entreated
the favor of Yahweh
our God ,
that
we
should
turn
from our iniquities ,
and have
discernment
in
your truth.
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.
Therefore has Yahweh
watched
over
the evil,
and brought it on
us ;
for Yahweh
our God is righteous in all his
works
which
he does ,
and
we have not obeyed his voice.
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.
Now, Lord our God, who has
brought your people forth
out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have
gotten
you
renown,
as
at
this day ;
we have sinned ,
we have done
wickedly.
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.
Lord, according
to
all your righteousness
, let
your anger and please
let
your
wrath be
turned
away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for
our sins ,
and for
the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become
a reproach to all who
are
round
about
us.
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.
Now therefore
, our God, listen
to
the prayer
of your servant, and
to
his
petitions
, and
cause your face to shine on
your sanctuary that
is
desolate,
for
the
Lord's
sake
.
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
.
My God, turn
your
ear,
and hear; open your eyes ,
and see our
desolations,
and
the city which
is
called
by
your name :
for we do
not present
our petitions before you for
our righteousness
, but for
your great mercies'
sake
.
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. ”
Lord, hear;
Lord, forgive ;
Lord, listen
and do;
don't
defer,
for your own
sake, my God, because your city and your people are
called
by
your name.
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 —
While I was speaking, and
praying, and
confessing my sin and the
sin
of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication
before Yahweh
my God for
the
holy mountain of
my
God;
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
.
yes,
while I was speaking
in
prayer
, 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 offering
.
He instructed me and spoke
with me, saying:
“O
Daniel, I have
come
now to give you insight
and understanding.
He instructed me ,
and talked
with me, and
said,
Daniel, I am
now come
forth
to give you wisdom
and understanding.
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 :
At the beginning of your petitions the
commandment
went forth
, and I am
come to tell you ;
for you are greatly
beloved:
therefore
consider the matter,
and understand the vision .
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
.
Seventy weeks are decreed on
your people and on
your holy city ,
to finish
disobedience
, and
to make
an end of
sins
, and
to make reconciliation
for iniquity, and
to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
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
.
Know therefore
and discern,
that
from the going
forth
of the commandment
to restore and to
build
Jerusalem to
the Anointed
One
, the prince, shall
be seven weeks ,
and sixty-two weeks :
it shall
be built
again,
with street
and moat
, even
in troubled
times.
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
.
After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed
One
shall
be cut off ,
and shall
have nothing :
and
the people of the prince who shall
come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary ;
and
the end of
it
shall
be
with
a flood, and even
to
the end shall
be war; desolations are
determined
.
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
. ”
He shall
make
a firm
covenant with many for one week :
and
in the midst
of the week he shall
cause
the
sacrifice and the
offering to
cease;
and on the wing of abominations
[shall
come ]
one
who
makes
desolate;
and
even
to
the full
end,
and
that determined
, shall
[wrath]
be
poured out on
the
desolate
.
