25 Vet därför och förstå: Från den tid då ordet gick ut att Jerusalem skulle återställas och byggas upp till dess den Smorde Fursten kommer, skall det gå sju veckor och sextiotvå veckor. Gator och vallgravar skall på nytt byggas upp, trots tider av svårigheter. 26 Men efter de sextiotvå veckorna skall den Smorde förgöras, helt utblottad. Och staden och helgedomen skall förstöras av folket till en furste som kommer. Men slutet kommer som en störtflod. Intill änden skall det råda krig. Förödelse är fast besluten. 27 Han skall stadfästa förbundet med de många under en vecka, och mitt i veckan skall han avskaffa slaktoffer och matoffer. Och på styggelsers vinge skall förödaren komma, till dess att förstöring och oryggligt beslutad straffdom utgjuts över förödaren."

25 Know and understand this:
From the issuing of the decree
to restore and rebuild Jerusalem(A)
until an Anointed One,(B) the ruler,[a]
will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.
It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat,
but in difficult times.
26 After those sixty-two weeks
the Anointed One will be cut off(C)
and will have nothing.
The people of the coming ruler
will destroy the city(D) and the sanctuary.[b]
The[c] end will come with a flood,(E)
and until the end there will be[d] war;
desolations are decreed.
27 He will make a firm covenant[e]
with many for one week,
but in the middle of the week
he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering.
And the abomination of desolation(F)
will be on a wing(G) of the temple[f][g]
until the decreed destruction(H)
is poured out on the desolator.”
