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
Common English Bible
Daniel’s prayer
9 In the first year of Darius’ rule—Darius, who was Ahasuerus’ son, a Median by birth and who ruled the Chaldean kingdom— 2 I, Daniel, pondered the scrolls, specifically the number of years that it would take to complete Jerusalem’s desolation according to the Lord’s word to the prophet Jeremiah. It was seventy years. 3 I then turned my face to my Lord God, asking for an answer with prayer and pleading, and with fasting, mourning clothes, and ashes. 4 As I prayed to the Lord my God, I made this confession:
Please, my Lord—you are the great and awesome God, the one who keeps the covenant, and truly faithful to all who love him and keep his commands: 5 We have sinned and done wrong. We have brought guilt on ourselves and rebelled, ignoring your commands and your laws. 6 We haven’t listened to your servants, the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, our parents, and to all the land’s people. 7 Righteousness belongs to you, my Lord! But we are ashamed this day—we, the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all Israel whether near or far, in whatever country where you’ve driven them because of their unfaithfulness when they broke faith with you. 8 Lord, we are ashamed—we, our kings, our leaders, and our parents who sinned against you. 9 Compassion and deep forgiveness belong to my Lord, our God, because we rebelled against him. 10 We didn’t listen to the voice of the Lord our God by following the teachings he gave us through his servants, the prophets. 11 All Israel broke your Instruction and turned away, ignoring your voice. Then the curse that was sworn long ago—the one written in the Instruction from Moses, God’s servant—swept over us because we sinned against God. 12 God confirmed the words he spoke against us and against our rulers, bringing great trouble on us. What happened in Jerusalem hasn’t happened anywhere else in the entire world! 13 All this trouble came upon us, exactly as it was written in the Instruction of Moses, but we didn’t try to reconcile with the Lord our God by turning from our wrongdoing or by finding wisdom in your faithfulness. 14 So the Lord oversaw the great trouble and brought it on us, because the Lord our God has been right in every move he’s made, but we haven’t listened to his voice.
15 “But now, my Lord, our God—you who brought your people out of Egypt with a strong hand, making a name for yourself even to this day: We have sinned and done the wrong thing.” 16 My Lord, please! In line with your many righteous acts, please turn your raging anger from Jerusalem, which is your city, your own holy mountain. Because of our sins and the wrongdoing of our parents, both Jerusalem and your people have become a disgrace to all our neighbors.
17 “But now, our God, listen to your servant’s prayer and pleas for help. Shine your face on your ruined sanctuary, for your own sake, my Lord. 18 Open your ears, my God, and listen! Open your eyes and look at our devastation. Look at the city called by your name! We pray our prayers for help to you, not because of any righteous acts of ours but because of your great compassion. 19 My Lord, listen! My Lord, forgive! My Lord, pay attention and act! Don’t delay! My God, do all this for your own sake, because your city and your people are called by your name.
Seventy weeks
20 While I was still speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sins of my people Israel—while I was still praying my prayer for help to the Lord my God about my God’s holy mountain— 21 while I was still speaking this prayer, the man Gabriel approached me at the time of the evening offering. This was the same Gabriel I had seen in my earlier vision. He was weary with exhaustion.[a]
22 He explained as he spoke with me: “Daniel, here’s why I’ve come: to give you insight and understanding. 23 When you began making your requests, a word went out, and I’ve come to tell it to you because you are greatly treasured. So now understand this word and grasp the meaning of this vision! 24 Seventy weeks are appointed for your people and for your holy city to complete the rebellion, to end sins, to cover over wrongdoing, to bring eternal righteousness, to seal up prophetic vision, and to anoint the most holy place.
25 “So you must know and gain wisdom about this: There will be seven weeks from the moment the word went out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until a leader is anointed. And for sixty-two weeks the city will be rebuilt with a courtyard and a moat. But in difficult times, 26 after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one will be eliminated. No one will support him.[b] The army of a future leader will destroy the city and the sanctuary. His[c] end will come in a flood, but devastations will be decreed until the end of the war.[d] 27 For one week, he will make a strong covenant with many people. For a half-week, he will stop both sacrifices and offerings. In their place[e] will be the desolating monstrosities until the decreed destruction sweeps over the devastator.”

但以理書 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
但以理閱書得知耶路撒冷必荒蕪七十年
9 瑪代族亞哈隨魯的兒子大流士立為迦勒底國的王元年， 2 就是他在位第一年，我但以理從書上得知耶和華的話臨到先知耶利米，論耶路撒冷荒涼的年數，七十年為滿。
禁食祈禱
3 我便禁食，披麻蒙灰，定意向主神祈禱懇求。 4 我向耶和華我的神祈禱、認罪，說：「主啊，大而可畏的神，向愛主守主誡命的人守約施慈愛。 5 我們犯罪作孽，行惡叛逆，偏離你的誡命、典章， 6 沒有聽從你僕人眾先知奉你名向我們君王、首領、列祖和國中一切百姓所說的話。 7 主啊，你是公義的，我們是臉上蒙羞的，因我們猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民，並以色列眾人——或在近處或在遠處被你趕到各國的人，都得罪了你，正如今日一樣。 8 主啊，我們和我們的君王、首領、列祖因得罪了你，就都臉上蒙羞。 9 主我們的神是憐憫饒恕人的，我們卻違背了他， 10 也沒有聽從耶和華我們神的話，沒有遵行他藉僕人眾先知向我們所陳明的律法。 11 以色列眾人都犯了你的律法，偏行，不聽從你的話，因此在你僕人摩西律法上所寫的咒詛和誓言都傾在我們身上，因我們得罪了神。 12 他使大災禍臨到我們，成就了警戒我們和審判我們官長的話。原來在普天之下，未曾行過像在耶路撒冷所行的。 13 這一切災禍臨到我們身上，是照摩西律法上所寫的，我們卻沒有求耶和華我們神的恩典，使我們回頭離開罪孽，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事上都是公義，我們並沒有聽從他的話。 15 主我們的神啊，你曾用大能的手領你的子民出埃及地，使自己得了名，正如今日一樣。我們犯了罪，作了惡。
求主恢復耶路撒冷
16 「主啊，求你按你的大仁大義，使你的怒氣和憤怒轉離你的城耶路撒冷，就是你的聖山。耶路撒冷和你的子民，因我們的罪惡和我們列祖的罪孽被四圍的人羞辱。 17 我們的神啊，現在求你垂聽僕人的祈禱懇求，為自己使臉光照你荒涼的聖所。 18 我的神啊，求你側耳而聽，睜眼而看，眷顧我們荒涼之地和稱為你名下的城。我們在你面前懇求，原不是因自己的義，乃因你的大憐憫。 19 求主垂聽，求主赦免，求主應允而行，為你自己不要遲延，我的神啊，因這城和這民都是稱為你名下的。」
20 我說話，禱告，承認我的罪和本國之民以色列的罪，為我神的聖山在耶和華我神面前懇求。 21 我正禱告的時候，先前在異象中所見的那位加百列奉命迅速飛來，約在獻晚祭的時候，按手在我身上。 22 他指教我說：「但以理啊，現在我出來要使你有智慧，有聰明。 23 你初懇求的時候，就發出命令，我來告訴你，因你大蒙眷愛。所以你要思想明白這以下的事和異象。
加百列示以七十乘七之預言
24 「為你本國之民和你聖城，已經定了七十個七，要止住罪過，除淨罪惡，贖盡罪孽，引進[a]永義，封住異象和預言，並膏至聖者[b]。 25 你當知道，當明白，從出令重新建造耶路撒冷，直到有受膏君的時候，必有七個七和六十二個七。正在艱難的時候，耶路撒冷城連街帶濠都必重新建造。 26 過了六十二個七，那[c]受膏者必被剪除，一無所有。必有一王的民來毀滅這城和聖所。至終必如洪水沖沒，必有爭戰，一直到底，荒涼的事已經定了。 27 一七之內，他必與許多人堅定盟約；一七之半，他必使祭祀與供獻止息。那行毀壞可憎的[d]如飛而來，並且有憤怒傾在那行毀壞的身上[e]，直到所定的結局。」
