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

<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 >.
