但以理书 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶路撒冷必荒廢七十年
9 瑪代人亞哈隨魯的兒子大利烏被立為王,統治迦勒底國的第一年, 2 就是他作王的第一年,我但以理從經書上留意到耶和華臨到耶利米先知的話,指出耶路撒冷荒廢的年數必滿七十年。
但以理禁食祈禱
3 於是我轉向主 神,禁食,披麻蒙灰,藉祈禱和懇求尋求他。 4 我向耶和華我的 神禱告、認罪,說:“主啊!偉大可畏的 神,你向那些愛你(“你”原文作“他”),遵守你(“你”原文作“他”)誡命的人守約施慈愛。 5 我們犯了罪,行了不義,作了惡,背叛了你,偏離了你的誡命典章; 6 沒有聽從你的僕人眾先知,他們奉你的名向我們的君王、領袖、列祖和國中所有的人民說話。 7 主啊!你是公義的;我們滿面羞愧,正如今日的光景;我們猶大人、耶路撒冷的居民,和被你趕逐到遠近各地的以色列眾人,都因對你不忠而滿面羞愧。 8 耶和華啊!我們和我們的君王、領袖、列祖,都滿面羞愧,因為我們得罪了你。 9 雖然我們背叛了主我們的 神,他仍是滿有憐憫和饒恕。 10 我們沒有聽從耶和華我們 神的話,沒有遵行他藉著他的僕人眾先知向我們頒布的律法。 11 以色列眾人都違背了你的律法,偏離了你,不聽從你的話,因此, 神的僕人摩西的律法書上所記載的咒詛和誓言,都傾倒在我們身上;我們實在得罪了 神。 12 他實現了他的預言,按著他向我們和那些治理我們的官長所說過的話,使大災禍臨到我們身上;耶路撒冷所遇的災禍是在普天之下從未發生過的。 13 這一切災禍是按著摩西的律法書上所記載的,臨到了我們身上,但我們仍沒有懇求耶和華我們的 神施恩,使我們離開罪孽,明白你的真理。 14 所以耶和華留意使這災禍臨到我們身上,因為耶和華我們的 神在他所行的一切事上都是公義的,我們卻沒有聽從他的話。 15 主我們的 神啊!你曾用強而有力的手把你的子民從埃及地領出來,使你自己得了名,好像今天一樣。現在,我們犯了罪,作了惡。 16 主啊!求你按著你的一切公義,使你的怒氣和忿怒轉離你的城耶路撒冷,就是你的聖山;因我們的罪和我們列祖的罪孽的緣故,耶路撒冷和你的子民成了在我們四圍的人羞辱的對象。 17 現在,我們的 神啊!求你垂聽你僕人的禱告和懇求;主啊!為了你自己的緣故,使你的臉光照你這荒涼了的聖所。 18 我的 神啊!求你側耳而聽,睜眼垂顧我們的荒涼,和那稱為你名下的城;因為我們向你懇求,並不是因著自己的義,而是因著你的大憐憫。 19 主啊!求你垂聽。主啊!求你赦免。主啊!求你應允而行。我的 神啊!為了你自己的緣故,求你不要耽延。因為你的城和你的子民都是稱為你名下的。”
七十個七的預言
20 我還在說話、禱告、承認我的罪和我同胞以色列人的罪,為我 神的聖山,向耶和華我的 神懇求的時候; 21 我還在禱告說話的時候,我先前在異象中所見的那位樣貌像人的加百列,約在獻晚祭的時候,快速地飛(“快速地飛”原文意思難確定,或譯:“在精疲力竭時”)到我面前來。 22 他向我解釋,說:“但以理啊!現在我來,要使你有智慧,有聰明。 23 你開始懇求的時候,就有命令發出。因為你是大蒙眷愛的,所以我來告訴你;你要留意這信息,明白這異象。
24 “為你的同胞和你的聖城,已經定了七十個七,要結束過犯,終止罪惡,遮蓋罪孽,引進永義,封住異象和預言,並且膏抹至聖所(“至聖所”或譯:“至聖者”)。 25 你要知道,也要明白,從發出命令恢復和重建耶路撒冷,直到受膏君的時候,必有七個七;又有六十二個七(“必有七個七;又有六十二個七”或譯:“必有七個七和六十二個七”),耶路撒冷連廣場和濠溝,都必重新建造起來;那是一段困苦的時期。 26 六十二個七以後,受膏者必被剪除,一無所有(“一無所有”或譯:“不再存在”);那將要來的領袖的人民必毀滅這城和聖所。結局必像洪水而來;必有爭戰直到末了;荒涼的事已經定了。 27 一七之內,他必和許多人堅立盟約;一七之半,他必使獻祭和供物終止;他必在殿裡(“殿裡”原文作“翼上”);設立那使地荒涼的可憎的像(“可憎的像”原文是複數),直到指定的結局傾倒在那造成荒涼的人身上。”
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.”

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。”
