Young's Literal Translation
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 ,
son of Ahasuerus
, of
the
seed
of
the
Medes
, who hath
been
made king
over the kingdom 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, have
understood by
books the number
of the years,
(in
that
a
word
of
Jehovah
hath
been
unto
Jeremiah the prophet, )
concerning
the fulfilling
of the
wastes
of
Jerusalem --
seventy years ;
So
I turned
my attention
to
the Lord God to seek Him
by prayer and petition
, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
and
I set
my face
unto
the Lord God ,
to seek `
by '
prayer and supplications
, 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,
And I pray
to Jehovah
my God ,
and confess
, and
say:
`I
beseech
Thee
, O
Lord God
, the great and the
fearful
, keeping
the
covenant and
the
kindness
to those loving
Him ,
and to
those
keeping
His commands;
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 done perversely,
and
done
wickedly ,
and rebelled ,
to
turn
aside
from Thy
commands,
and from
Thy
judgments:
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.
and
we have not hearkened
unto
Thy
servants ,
the prophets, who have
spoken
in Thy
name unto
our kings, our
heads
, 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
.
`
To Thee
, O Lord, `is'
the
righteousness, and
to
us
the
shame
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
, in all the lands
whither
Thou
hast
driven them,
in
their
trespass
that
they
have
trespassed
against
Thee
.
O LORD, we
are
covered
with
shame —
our kings, our leaders
, and our fathers —because
we have sinned against You
.
`
O Lord, to
us
`is'
the
shame of
face,
to
our kings, to
our heads
, and to
our fathers ,
in
that
we have sinned against Thee
.
To the Lord our God belong
compassion
and forgiveness
, even
though
we have rebelled against Him
`
To the Lord our God `are'
the
mercies
and the
forgivenesses
, 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 .
and have not hearkened
to
the voice of Jehovah
our God ,
to walk in His laws, that
He hath
set before us by
the
hand
of
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
.
and
all Israel have
transgressed Thy
law, to turn
aside
so
as
not
to
hearken
to
Thy
voice; and
poured
on
us
is
the execration,
and the oath,
that
is
written in the law of Moses ,
servant of God, because 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 .
`And
He
confirmeth
His
words that
He
hath
spoken against us ,
and against our judges
who
have
judged
us,
to
bring
in
upon us great evil
, in
that
it
hath
not
been done under
the
whole
heavens
as
it
hath
been done in
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
hath
come upon us, and
we have not appeased
the face
of Jehovah
our God to
turn
back
from our iniquities ,
and to act
wisely
in
Thy
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.
And
Jehovah
doth
watch
for
the evil,
and bringeth
it upon us ,
for righteous
`is'
Jehovah
our God concerning
all His
works
that
He hath
done,
and
we have not hearkened
to
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.
And
now, O Lord our God, who hast
brought forth
Thy
people from
the land of Egypt by
a strong
hand, and dost
make
for Thee
a name 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.
`
O Lord, according
to
all Thy
righteous acts, let
turn
back,
I pray Thee,
Thine
anger and Thy
fury
from Thy
city Jerusalem, Thy
holy mount,
for by
our sins ,
and by
the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy
people `
are '
for
a reproach to all our
neighbours;
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.
and
now, hearken,
O
our God, unto
the prayer
of Thy
servant, and
unto
his
supplication
, and
cause Thy
face to shine on
Thy
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
.
`
Incline, O my God, Thine
ear,
and hear ,
open Thine
eyes and see our
desolations,
and
the city on
which
Thy
name is
called;
for not for
our righteous acts are
we
causing
our
supplications
to
fall
before
Thee
, but for
Thy
mercies
that
`are'
many
.
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
. ”
O lord, hear,
O Lord, forgive ;
O Lord, attend
and do;
do
not
delay,
for Thine
own
sake, O my God, for
Thy
name
is
called
on
Thy
city ,
and on
Thy
people. '
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—
And
while I am
speaking, and
praying, and
confessing my sin ,
and the
sin
of my people Israel, and causing
my supplication
to
fall
before Jehovah
my God ,
for
the
holy mount
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
.
yea,
while I am
speaking
in
prayer
, then
that
one
Gabriel, whom
I had seen in vision at
the
commencement
, being
caused
to fly
swiftly,
is
coming
unto
me at
the time of the evening present
.
He instructed
me
and spoke
with me, saying:
“
O Daniel, I have come now
to give
you
insight
and
understanding .
And
he giveth
understanding,
and speaketh
with me, and
saith,
`
O Daniel, now
I have come forth
to cause
thee
to
consider
understanding wisely;
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 commencement
of thy
supplications
hath
the
word
come
forth
, and I have come to declare
`it'
, for thou
`art'
greatly
desired,
and understand thou
concerning
the matter,
and
consider
concerning
the
appearance.
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 determined
for thy
people ,
and for
thy
holy city ,
to shut
up
the
transgression, and
to seal
up
sins
, and
to cover
iniquity, and
to bring in righteousness age-during
, and
to seal up vision and prophet
, and to anoint the holy of
holies
.
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
thou
dost
know ,
and dost
consider
wisely,
from the going
forth
of the word
to restore and to
build
Jerusalem till
Messiah the Leader
`is'
seven weeks ,
and sixty and
two weeks :
the
broad
place
hath
been
built
again,
and the
rampart
, even
in the
distress of
the
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
.
And
after the sixty and
two weeks ,
cut off is
Messiah,
and the city
and
the holy
place
are
not
his,
the
Leader
who hath
come doth
destroy the people;
and its
end `is'
with
a flood, and till
the end `is'
war ,
determined
`are'
desolations.
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
. ”
And he hath
strengthened
a covenant with many --
one week, and
`
in '
the midst
of the week he causeth
sacrifice and present
to
cease,
and by
the wing of abominations
he
is
making
desolate
, even
till
the consummation,
and
that
which
is determined
is
poured on
the
desolate
one
. '
