但以理书 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
但以理为同胞祷告
9 玛代人亚哈随鲁的儿子大流士被立为迦勒底国的王元年， 2 即他统治的第一年，我但以理从经书上耶和华给耶利米先知的话得知，耶路撒冷必荒凉七十年。
3 我便禁食，身披麻衣，头蒙灰尘，向主上帝祷告祈求。 4 我向我的上帝耶和华祷告、认罪，说：“主啊，你是伟大而可畏的上帝，你向那些爱你、遵守你诫命的人信守你的慈爱之约。 5 我们犯罪作恶，行为邪恶叛逆，偏离你的诫命和典章， 6 没有听从你的仆人——众先知奉你的名向我们的君王、首领、先祖及国中百姓所说的话。 7 主啊，你是公义的，我们今日满面羞愧，我们犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民，以及因对你不忠而被驱散到远近各地的以色列人都满面羞愧。 8 主啊，我们和我们的君王、首领、先祖因得罪了你而满脸羞愧。 9 虽然我们背叛了主——我们的上帝，祂却有怜悯和饶恕之心。 10 我们没有听从我们的上帝耶和华的话，没有遵行祂借祂的仆人——众先知给我们颁布的律法。 11 以色列人都违背你的律法，偏离正道，不听从你的话。你仆人摩西的律法书上所记载的咒诅和审判都落在了我们身上，因为我们得罪了你。 12 你把大灾难降在我们身上，应验了你警告我们和我们官长的话。耶路撒冷遭遇的灾祸普天之下从未有过。 13 这一切灾祸降在了我们身上，正如摩西律法书的记载。然而，我们的上帝耶和华啊，我们却没有离开罪恶，认识你的真理，以便恳求你施恩。 14 所以耶和华决意使灾祸降在我们身上，因为我们的上帝耶和华的一切作为都是公义的，我们却没有听从祂的话。
15 “主——我们的上帝啊，你曾用大能的手把你的子民领出埃及，使自己威名远扬直到今日。我们却犯罪作恶。 16 主啊，你一向公义，求你不要向你的耶路撒冷城——你的圣山发烈怒。由于我们的罪恶和我们祖先的过犯，耶路撒冷和你的子民成了四围邻人嘲讽的对象。 17 我们的上帝啊，求你垂听仆人的祷告祈求，为你自己的缘故，笑颜垂顾你荒凉的圣所。 18 我的上帝啊，求你侧耳垂听，睁眼眷顾我们荒凉的土地和属于你名下的城。我们向你祈求，并非因为我们有什么义行，乃是因为你充满怜悯。 19 主啊，求你垂听！主啊，求你赦免！主啊，求你应允，立刻行动！我的上帝啊，为你自己的缘故，求你不要耽延，因为这城和这民都属于你的名下。”
加百列解释预言
20 我继续祷告，承认我和同胞以色列人的罪，为我上帝耶和华的圣山在祂面前祈求。 21 我正祷告的时候，先前在异象中看见的那位加百列奉命疾飞而来。那是献晚祭的时候。 22 他向我解释说：“但以理啊，我来是要使你有智慧和悟性。 23 你刚开始祈求，就已赐下答复，我是来告诉你的，因为你倍受眷爱。所以你要留意以下的信息，明白异象的意思。
24 “已经为你的同胞和圣城定了七十个七，以终结叛逆，除掉罪恶，赎尽过犯，带来永远的公义，封住异象和预言，膏抹至圣所[a]。 25 你要知道，也要明白，从重建耶路撒冷的命令发出，到受膏的君王来临，其间有七个七加六十二个七。耶路撒冷城及其广场和壕沟必得重建，且是在艰难时期。 26 六十二个七之后，受膏者必被杀害，一无所有。另有一王要兴起，他的臣民要毁灭这城和圣所。结局必如洪水冲来，战争将持续到末了，到处一片荒凉——这已经注定。 27 那王必与许多人缔结一七之久的盟约。一七之半，他必终止祭牲和供物，并且设立带来毁灭的可憎之物，直到所定的结局临到这恶者。”

但以理书 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
但以理阅书得知耶路撒冷必荒芜七十年
9 玛代族亚哈随鲁的儿子大流士立为迦勒底国的王元年， 2 就是他在位第一年，我但以理从书上得知耶和华的话临到先知耶利米，论耶路撒冷荒凉的年数，七十年为满。
禁食祈祷
3 我便禁食，披麻蒙灰，定意向主神祈祷恳求。 4 我向耶和华我的神祈祷、认罪，说：“主啊，大而可畏的神，向爱主守主诫命的人守约施慈爱。 5 我们犯罪作孽，行恶叛逆，偏离你的诫命、典章， 6 没有听从你仆人众先知奉你名向我们君王、首领、列祖和国中一切百姓所说的话。 7 主啊，你是公义的，我们是脸上蒙羞的，因我们犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民，并以色列众人——或在近处或在远处被你赶到各国的人，都得罪了你，正如今日一样。 8 主啊，我们和我们的君王、首领、列祖因得罪了你，就都脸上蒙羞。 9 主我们的神是怜悯饶恕人的，我们却违背了他， 10 也没有听从耶和华我们神的话，没有遵行他借仆人众先知向我们所陈明的律法。 11 以色列众人都犯了你的律法，偏行，不听从你的话，因此在你仆人摩西律法上所写的咒诅和誓言都倾在我们身上，因我们得罪了神。 12 他使大灾祸临到我们，成就了警戒我们和审判我们官长的话。原来在普天之下，未曾行过像在耶路撒冷所行的。 13 这一切灾祸临到我们身上，是照摩西律法上所写的，我们却没有求耶和华我们神的恩典，使我们回头离开罪孽，明白你的真理。 14 所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上，因为耶和华我们的神在他所行的事上都是公义，我们并没有听从他的话。 15 主我们的神啊，你曾用大能的手领你的子民出埃及地，使自己得了名，正如今日一样。我们犯了罪，作了恶。
求主恢复耶路撒冷
16 “主啊，求你按你的大仁大义，使你的怒气和愤怒转离你的城耶路撒冷，就是你的圣山。耶路撒冷和你的子民，因我们的罪恶和我们列祖的罪孽被四围的人羞辱。 17 我们的神啊，现在求你垂听仆人的祈祷恳求，为自己使脸光照你荒凉的圣所。 18 我的神啊，求你侧耳而听，睁眼而看，眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为你名下的城。我们在你面前恳求，原不是因自己的义，乃因你的大怜悯。 19 求主垂听，求主赦免，求主应允而行，为你自己不要迟延，我的神啊，因这城和这民都是称为你名下的。”
20 我说话，祷告，承认我的罪和本国之民以色列的罪，为我神的圣山在耶和华我神面前恳求。 21 我正祷告的时候，先前在异象中所见的那位加百列奉命迅速飞来，约在献晚祭的时候，按手在我身上。 22 他指教我说：“但以理啊，现在我出来要使你有智慧，有聪明。 23 你初恳求的时候，就发出命令，我来告诉你，因你大蒙眷爱。所以你要思想明白这以下的事和异象。
加百列示以七十乘七之预言
24 “为你本国之民和你圣城，已经定了七十个七，要止住罪过，除净罪恶，赎尽罪孽，引进[a]永义，封住异象和预言，并膏至圣者[b]。 25 你当知道，当明白，从出令重新建造耶路撒冷，直到有受膏君的时候，必有七个七和六十二个七。正在艰难的时候，耶路撒冷城连街带濠都必重新建造。 26 过了六十二个七，那[c]受膏者必被剪除，一无所有。必有一王的民来毁灭这城和圣所。至终必如洪水冲没，必有争战，一直到底，荒凉的事已经定了。 27 一七之内，他必与许多人坚定盟约；一七之半，他必使祭祀与供献止息。那行毁坏可憎的[d]如飞而来，并且有愤怒倾在那行毁坏的身上[e]，直到所定的结局。”
Daniel 9
New Living Translation
Daniel’s Prayer for His People
9 It was the first year of the reign of Darius the Mede, the son of Ahasuerus, who became king of the Babylonians.[a] 2 During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the Lord, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years.[b] 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and fasting. I also wore rough burlap and sprinkled myself with ashes.
4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:
“O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your covenant and keep your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and obey your commands. 5 But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations. 6 We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land.
7 “Lord, you are in the right; but as you see, our faces are covered with shame. This is true of all of us, including the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, scattered near and far, wherever you have driven us because of our disloyalty to you. 8 O Lord, we and our kings, princes, and ancestors are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. 9 But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him. 10 We have not obeyed the Lord our God, for we have not followed the instructions he gave us through his servants the prophets. 11 All Israel has disobeyed your instruction and turned away, refusing to listen to your voice.
“So now the solemn curses and judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured down on us because of our sin. 12 You have kept your word and done to us and our rulers exactly as you warned. Never has there been such a disaster as happened in Jerusalem. 13 Every curse written against us in the Law of Moses has come true. Yet we have refused to seek mercy from the Lord our God by turning from our sins and recognizing his truth. 14 Therefore, the Lord has brought upon us the disaster he prepared. The Lord our God was right to do all of these things, for we did not obey him.
15 “O Lord our God, you brought lasting honor to your name by rescuing your people from Egypt in a great display of power. But we have sinned and are full of wickedness. 16 In view of all your faithful mercies, Lord, please turn your furious anger away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. All the neighboring nations mock Jerusalem and your people because of our sins and the sins of our ancestors.
17 “O our God, hear your servant’s prayer! Listen as I plead. For your own sake, Lord, smile again on your desolate sanctuary.
18 “O my God, lean down and listen to me. Open your eyes and see our despair. See how your city—the city that bears your name—lies in ruins. We make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy.
19 “O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, listen and act! For your own sake, do not delay, O my God, for your people and your city bear your name.”
Gabriel’s Message about the Anointed One
20 I went on praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people, pleading with the Lord my God for Jerusalem, his holy mountain. 21 As I was praying, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the earlier vision, came swiftly to me at the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He explained to me, “Daniel, I have come here to give you insight and understanding. 23 The moment you began praying, a command was given. And now I am here to tell you what it was, for you are very precious to God. Listen carefully so that you can understand the meaning of your vision.
24 “A period of seventy sets of seven[c] has been decreed for your people and your holy city to finish their rebellion, to put an end to their sin, to atone for their guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to confirm the prophetic vision, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[d] 25 Now listen and understand! Seven sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven[e] will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until a ruler—the Anointed One[f]—comes. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and strong defenses,[g] despite the perilous times.
26 “After this period of sixty-two sets of seven,[h] the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing, and a ruler will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple. The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end. 27 The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven,[i] but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds,[j] he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration,[k] until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”
