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。”

Daniel 9
New International Version
Daniel’s Prayer
9 In the first year of Darius(A) son of Xerxes[a](B) (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian[b] kingdom— 2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy(C) years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting,(D) and in sackcloth and ashes.(E)
4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:(F)
“Lord, the great and awesome God,(G) who keeps his covenant of love(H) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned(I) and done wrong.(J) We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away(K) from your commands and laws.(L) 6 We have not listened(M) to your servants the prophets,(N) who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors,(O) and to all the people of the land.
7 “Lord, you are righteous,(P) but this day we are covered with shame(Q)—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered(R) us because of our unfaithfulness(S) to you.(T) 8 We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you.(U) 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving,(V) even though we have rebelled against him;(W) 10 we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.(X) 11 All Israel has transgressed(Y) your law(Z) and turned away, refusing to obey you.
“Therefore the curses(AA) and sworn judgments(AB) written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned(AC) against you. 12 You have fulfilled(AD) the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster.(AE) Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like(AF) what has been done to Jerusalem.(AG) 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord(AH) our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.(AI) 14 The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster(AJ) on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does;(AK) yet we have not obeyed him.(AL)
15 “Now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand(AM) and who made for yourself a name(AN) that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. 16 Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts,(AO) turn away(AP) your anger and your wrath(AQ) from Jerusalem,(AR) your city, your holy hill.(AS) Our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn(AT) to all those around us.
17 “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor(AU) on your desolate sanctuary. 18 Give ear,(AV) our God, and hear;(AW) open your eyes and see(AX) the desolation of the city that bears your Name.(AY) We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.(AZ) 19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive!(BA) Lord, hear and act! For your sake,(BB) my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”
The Seventy “Sevens”
20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing(BC) my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill(BD)— 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel,(BE) the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.(BF) 22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding.(BG) 23 As soon as you began to pray,(BH) a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed.(BI) Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision:(BJ)
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’[c] are decreed for your people and your holy city(BK) to finish[d] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone(BL) for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness,(BM) to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[e]
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild(BN) Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[f](BO) the ruler,(BP) comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.(BQ) 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death(BR) and will have nothing.[g] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:(BS) War will continue until the end, and desolations(BT) have been decreed.(BU) 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[h] In the middle of the ‘seven’[i] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[j] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed(BV) is poured out on him.[k]”[l]

Daniel 9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Daniel’s Prayer
9 In the first year of Darius,(A) the son of Ahasuerus, a Mede by birth, who was ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans: 2 In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the books according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet that the number of years for the desolation of Jerusalem would be 70.(B) 3 So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petitions, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.(C)
4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:
Ah, Lord—the great and awe-inspiring God(D) who keeps His gracious covenant(E) with those who love Him(F) and keep His commands(G)— 5 we have sinned,(H) done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled,(I) and turned away from Your commands and ordinances.(J) 6 We have not listened to Your servants the prophets,(K) who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, fathers, and all the people of the land.
7 Lord, righteousness belongs to You,(L) but this day public shame belongs to us: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel—those who are near and those who are far, in all the countries where You have dispersed them because of the disloyalty they have shown toward You. 8 Lord, public shame(M) belongs to us, our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.(N) 9 Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God, though we have rebelled against Him 10 and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by following His instructions that He set before us through His servants(O) the prophets.
11 All Israel has broken Your law and turned away,(P) refusing to obey You. The promised curse[a] written in the law of Moses,(Q) the servant of God, has been poured out on us because we have sinned against Him. 12 He has carried out His words(R) that He spoke against us and against our rulers[b](S) by bringing on us so great a disaster that nothing like what has been done to Jerusalem has ever been done(T) under all of heaven. 13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses,(U) all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not appeased(V) the Lord our God by turning from our iniquities and paying attention to Your truth.(W) 14 So the Lord kept the disaster in mind and brought it on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in all He has done. But we have not obeyed Him.
15 Now, Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand(X) and made Your name renowned(Y) as it is this day, we have sinned, we have acted wickedly. 16 Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, may Your anger and wrath(Z) turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain;(AA) for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an object of ridicule to all those around us.
17 Therefore, our God, hear the prayer and the petitions of Your servant. Show Your favor(AB) to Your desolate sanctuary(AC) for the Lord’s sake. 18 Listen,[c] my God, and hear. Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city called by Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You based on our righteous acts, but based on Your abundant compassion. 19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and act! My God, for Your own sake, do not delay,(AD) because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.
The 70 Weeks of Years
20 While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel,(AE) and presenting my petition before Yahweh my God concerning the holy mountain of my God— 21 while I was praying, Gabriel,(AF) the man I had seen in the first vision,(AG) came to me in my extreme weariness, about the time of the evening offering.(AH) 22 He gave me this explanation: “Daniel, I’ve come now to give you understanding.(AI) 23 At the beginning of your petitions an answer went out, and I have come to give it, for you are treasured by God.(AJ) So consider the message and understand the vision:(AK)
24 Seventy weeks[d] are decreed(AL)
about your people and your holy city—
to bring the rebellion to an end,
to put a stop to sin,
to wipe away iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness,(AM)
to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most holy place.
25 Know and understand this:
From the issuing of the decree
to restore and rebuild Jerusalem(AN)
until Messiah(AO) the Prince[e]
will be seven weeks and 62 weeks.[f]
It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat,
but in difficult times.
26 After those 62 weeks[g]
the Messiah will be cut off(AP)
and will have nothing.
The people of the coming prince
will destroy the city(AQ) and the sanctuary.
The[h] end will come with a flood,(AR)
and until the end there will be[i] war;
desolations are decreed.
27 He will make a firm covenant[j]
with many for one week,[k]
but in the middle of the week
he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering.
And the abomination of desolation(AS)
will be on a wing(AT) of the temple[l][m]
until the decreed destruction(AU)
is poured out on the desolator.”
