Daniel 9

فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِدَارِيُوسَ بْنِ أَحْشَوِيرُوشَ مِنْ نَسْلِ الْمَادِيِّينَ الَّذِي مُلِّكَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ،

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;

فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى مِنْ مُلْكِهِ، أَنَا دَانِيآلَ فَهِمْتُ مِنَ الْكُتُبِ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَنْهَا كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ، لِكَمَالَةِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً عَلَى خَرَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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.

فَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَى اللهِ السَّيِّدِ طَالِبًا بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالتَّضَرُّعَاتِ، بِالصَّوْمِ وَالْمَسْحِ وَالرَّمَادِ.

And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

وَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِي وَاعْتَرَفْتُ وَقُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْمَهُوبُ، حَافِظَ الْعَهْدِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ لِمُحِبِّيهِ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَاهُ.

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;

أَخْطَأْنَا وَأَثِمْنَا وَعَمِلْنَا الشَّرَّ، وَتَمَرَّدْنَا وَحِدْنَا عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ وَعَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ.

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

وَمَا سَمِعْنَا مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ بِاسْمِكَ كَلَّمُوا مُلُوكَنَا وَرُؤَسَاءَنَا وَآبَاءَنَا وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ.

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.

لَكَ يَا سَيِّدُ الْبِرُّ، أَمَّا لَنَا فَخِزْيُ الْوُجُوهِ، كَمَا هُوَ الْيَوْمَ لِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلِكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْقَرِيبِينَ وَالْبَعِيدِينَ فِي كُلِّ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي طَرَدْتَهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، مِنْ أَجْلِ خِيَانَتِهِمِ الَّتِي خَانُوكَ إِيَّاهَا.

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.

يَا سَيِّدُ، لَنَا خِزْيُ الْوُجُوهِ، لِمُلُوكِنَا، لِرُؤَسَائِنَا وَلآبَائِنَا لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ.

O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا الْمَرَاحِمُ وَالْمَغْفِرَةُ، لأَنَّنَا تَمَرَّدْنَا عَلَيْهِ.

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

وَمَا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا لِنَسْلُكَ فِي شَرَائِعِهِ الَّتِي جَعَلَهَا أَمَامَنَا عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ.

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.

وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَعَدَّى عَلَى شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَحَادُوا لِئَلاَّ يَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَكَ، فَسَكَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا اللَّعْنَةَ وَالْحَلْفَ الْمَكْتُوبَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ اللهِ، لأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ.

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.

وَقَدْ أَقَامَ كَلِمَاتِهِ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى قُضَاتِنَا الَّذِينَ قَضَوْا لَنَا، لِيَجْلِبَ عَلَيْنَا شَرًّا عَظِيمًا، مَا لَمْ يُجْرَ تَحْتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ كُلِّهَا كَمَا أُجْرِيَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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.

كَمَا كُتِبَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، قَدْ جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا كُلُّ هذَا الشَّرِّ، وَلَمْ نَتَضَرَّعْ إِلَى وَجْهِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا لِنَرْجعَ مِنْ آثَامِنَا وَنَفْطِنَ بِحَقِّكَ.

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.

فَسَهِرَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى الشَّرِّ وَجَلَبَهُ عَلَيْنَا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَنَا بَارٌّ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِ الَّتِي عَمِلَهَا إِذْ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ صَوْتَهُ.

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.

وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ إِلهُنَا، الَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَ شَعْبَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ، وَجَعَلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ اسْمًا كَمَا هُوَ هذَا الْيَوْمَ، قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا، عَمِلْنَا شَرًّا.

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.

يَا سَيِّدُ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ رَحْمَتِكَ اصْرِفْ سَخَطَكَ وَغَضَبَكَ عَنْ مَدِينَتِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِكَ، إِذْ لِخَطَايَانَا وَلآثَامِ آبَائِنَا صَارَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ وَشَعْبُكَ عَارًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا.

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.

فَاسْمَعِ الآنَ يَا إِلهَنَا صَلاَةَ عَبْدِكَ وَتَضَرُّعَاتِهِ، وَأَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى مَقْدِسِكَ الْخَرِبِ مِنْ أَجْلِ السَّيِّدِ.

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.

أَمِلْ أُذُنَكَ يَا إِلهِي وَاسْمَعْ. اِفْتَحْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ خِرَبَنَا وَالْمَدِينَةَ الَّتِي دُعِيَ اسْمُكَ عَلَيْهَا، لأَنَّهُ لاَ لأَجْلِ بِرِّنَا نَطْرَحُ تَضَرُّعَاتِنَا أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ، بَلْ لأَجْلِ مَرَاحِمِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

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.

يَا سَيِّدُ اسْمَعْ. يَا سَيِّدُ اغْفِرْ. يَا سَيِّدُ أَصْغِ وَاصْنَعْ. لاَ تُؤَخِّرْ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِكَ يَا إِلهِي، لأَنَّ اسْمَكَ دُعِيَ عَلَى مَدِينَتِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ».

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.

وَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَعْتَرِفُ بِخَطِيَّتِي وَخَطِيَّةِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَطْرَحُ تَضَرُّعِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِي عَنْ جَبَلِ قُدْسِ إِلهِي،

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;

وَأَنَا مُتَكَلِّمٌ بَعْدُ بِالصَّلاَةِ، إِذَا بِالرَّجُلِ جِبْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الرُّؤْيَا فِي الابْتِدَاءِ مُطَارًا وَاغِفًا لَمَسَنِي عِنْدَ وَقْتِ تَقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَاءِ.

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.

وَفَهَّمَنِي وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعِي وَقَالَ: «يَا دَانِيآلُ، إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ الآنَ لأُعَلِّمَكَ الْفَهْمَ.

And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

فِي ابْتِدَاءِ تَضَرُّعَاتِكَ خَرَجَ الأَمْرُ، وَأَنَا جِئْتُ لأُخْبِرَكَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَحْبُوبٌ. فَتَأَمَّلِ الْكَلاَمَ وَافْهَمِ الرُّؤْيَا.

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.

سَبْعُونَ أُسْبُوعًا قُضِيَتْ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى مَدِينَتِكَ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ لِتَكْمِيلِ الْمَعْصِيَةِ وَتَتْمِيمِ الْخَطَايَا، وَلِكَفَّارَةِ الإِثْمِ، وَلِيُؤْتَى بِالْبِرِّ الأَبَدِيِّ، وَلِخَتْمِ الرُّؤْيَا وَالنُّبُوَّةِ، وَلِمَسْحِ قُدُّوسِ الْقُدُّوسِينَ.

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.

فَاعْلَمْ وَافْهَمْ أَنَّهُ مِنْ خُرُوجِ الأَمْرِ لِتَجْدِيدِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبِنَائِهَا إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ الرَّئِيسِ سَبْعَةُ أَسَابِيعَ وَاثْنَانِ وَسِتُّونَ أُسْبُوعًا، يَعُودُ وَيُبْنَى سُوقٌ وَخَلِيجٌ فِي ضِيقِ الأَزْمِنَةِ.

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.

وَبَعْدَ اثْنَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ أُسْبُوعًا يُقْطَعُ الْمَسِيحُ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ، وَشَعْبُ رَئِيسٍ آتٍ يُخْرِبُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْقُدْسَ، وَانْتِهَاؤُهُ بِغَمَارَةٍ، وَإِلَى النِّهَايَةِ حَرْبٌ وَخِرَبٌ قُضِيَ بِهَا.

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.

وَيُثَبِّتُ عَهْدًا مَعَ كَثِيرِينَ فِي أُسْبُوعٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَفِي وَسَطِ الأُسْبُوعِ يُبَطِّلُ الذَّبِيحَةَ وَالتَّقْدِمَةَ، وَعَلَى جَنَاحِ الأَرْجَاسِ مُخَرَّبٌ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ وَيُصَبَّ الْمَقْضِيُّ عَلَى الْمُخَرِّبِ».

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.
