Daniel 9

bishnat akhat ledareyavesh ben-akhashverosh mizzera maday asher homlakh al malkhut kasdim

In the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—

bishnat akhat lemolkho ani daniyyel binoti bassefarim mispar hashanim asher hayah devar-Adonai el-yirmeyah hannavi lemallovt lekhorvot yerushalai͏m shivim shanah

in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, consulted the books concerning the number of years that, according to the word of GOD that had come to Jeremiah the prophet, were to be the term of Jerusalem’s desolation—seventy years.

va'ettenah et-panay el-adonay ha'elohim levaqqesh tefillah vetakhanunim betsom vesaq va'efer

I turned my face to the Sovereign God, devoting myself to prayer and supplication, in fasting, in sackcloth and ashes.

va'etpallah la-Adonai elohay va'etvaddeh va'omerah anna adonay ha'el haggadol vehannora shomer habberit vehakhesed le'ohavayw uleshomere mitsvotayw

I prayed to the ETERNAL my God, making confession thus: “O Sovereign, great and awesome God, who stays faithful to the covenant with those who show love and keep the commandments!

khatanu ve'avinu (vhrshnv) [hirshanu] umaradenu vesor mimmitsvotekha umimmishpatekha

We have sinned; we have gone astray; we have acted wickedly; we have been rebellious and have deviated from Your commandments and Your rules,

velo shamanu el-avadekha hannevi'im asher dibberu beshimkha el-melakhenu sarenu va'avotenu ve'el kol-am ha'arets

and have not obeyed Your servants the prophets who spoke in Your name to our kings, our officers, our ancestors, and all the people of the land.

lekha adonay hatsedaqah velanu boshet happanim kayyom hazzeh le'ish yehudah uleyosheve yerushalai͏m ulekhol-yisra'el haqqerovim veharekhoqim bekhol-ha'aratsot asher hiddakhtam sham bema'alam asher ma'alu-vakh

With You, O Sovereign, is the right, and the shame is on us to this very day, on the citizenry of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all Israel, near and far, in all the lands where You have banished them, for the trespass they committed against You.

Adonai lanu boshet happanim limlakhenu lesarenu vela'avotenu asher khatanu lakh

The shame, O ETERNAL One, is on us, on our kings, our officers, and our ancestors, because we have sinned against You.

ladonay elohenu harakhamim vehasselikhot ki maradnu bo

To our Sovereign God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we were rebellious,

velo shamanu beqol Adonai elohenu lalekhet betorotayw asher natan lefanenu beyad avadayw hannevi'im

and did not obey the ETERNAL our God by following the teachings that were set before us through the prophets—God’s servants.

vekhol-yisra'el averu et-toratekha vesor levilti shemoa beqolekha vattittakh alenu ha'alah vehashevu'ah asher ketuvah betorat mosheh eved-ha'elohim ki khatanu lo

All Israel has violated Your teaching and gone astray, disobeying You; so the curse and the oath written in the Teaching of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured down upon us, for we have sinned.

vayyaqem et-[devaro ] (dvryv) asher-dibber alenu ve'al shofetenu asher shefatunu lehavi alenu ra'ah gedolah asher lo-ne'estah takhat kol-hashamayim ka'asher ne'estah birushalai͏m

You carried out the threat You made against us, and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring upon us great misfortune; under the whole heaven there has never been done the like of what was done to Jerusalem.

ka'asher katuv betorat mosheh et kol-hara'ah hazzot ba'ah alenu velo-khillinu et-pene Adonai elohenu lashuv me'avonenu ulehaskil ba'amittekha

All that calamity, just as is written in the Teaching of Moses, came upon us, yet we did not supplicate the ETERNAL our God, did not repent of our iniquity or become wise through Your truth.

vayyishqod Adonai al-hara'ah vayevi'eha alenu ki-tsaddiq Adonai elohenu al-kol-ma'asayw asher asah velo shamanu beqolo

Hence GOD was intent upon bringing calamity upon us, for the ETERNAL our God is in the right in all that has been done, but we have not been obedient.

ve'attah adonay elohenu asher hotseta et-ammekha me'erets mitsrayim beyad khazaqah vatta'as-lekha shem kayyom hazzeh khatanu rasha'enu

“Now, O our Sovereign God—You who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, winning fame for Yourself to this very day—we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.

adonay kekhol-tsidqotekha yashov-na appekha vakhamatekha me'irekha yerushalai͏m har-qodshekha ki vakhata'enu uva'avonot avotenu yerushalai͏m ve'ammekha lekherpah lekhol-sevivotenu

O my Sovereign, as befits Your abundant benevolence, let Your wrathful fury turn back from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a mockery among all who are around us.

ve'attah shema elohenu el-tefillat avdekha ve'el-takhanunayw veha'er panekha al-miqdashekha hashamem lema'an adonay

“O our God, hear now the prayer of Your servant and his plea, and show Your favor to Your desolate sanctuary, for [Your] sake, O my Sovereign.

hatteh elohay oznekha ushema (fqkhh) [peqakh] enekha ure'eh shomemotenu veha'ir asher-niqra shimkha aleha ki lo al-tsidqotenu anakhnu mappilim takhanunenu lefanekha ki al-rakhamekha harabbim

Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city to which Your name is attached. Not because of any merit of ours do we lay our plea before You but because of Your abundant mercies.

adonay shema'ah adonay selakhah adonay haqshivah va'aseh al-te'akhar lema'ankha elohay ki-shimkha niqra al-irekha ve'al-ammekha

O my Sovereign, hear! O my Sovereign, forgive! O my Sovereign, listen, and act without delay for Your own sake, O my God; for Your name is attached to Your city and Your people!”

ve'od ani medabber umitpallel umitvaddeh khattati vekhattat ammi yisra'el umappil tekhinnati lifne Adonai elohay al har-qodesh elohay

While I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and laying my supplication before the ETERNAL my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God—

ve'od ani medabber battefillah veha'ish gavri'el asher ra'iti vekhazon battekhillah mu'af bi'af nogea elay ke'et minkhat-arev

while I was uttering my prayer, the figure whom I had previously seen in the vision, Gabriel, was sent forth in flight, and reached me about the time of the evening offering.

vayyaven vayedabber immi vayyomar daniyyel attah yatsati lehaskilekha vinah

He made me understand by speaking to me and saying, “Daniel, I have just come forth to give you understanding.

bitkhillat takhanunekha yatsa davar va'ani bati lehaggid ki khamudot attah uvin baddavar vehaven bammareh

A word went forth as you began your plea, and I have come to tell it, for you are precious; so mark the word and understand the vision.

shavu'im shivim nekhtakh al-ammekha ve'al-ir qodshekha lekhalle happesha (vlkhtm) [ulehatem] (khtvt) [khattat] ulekhapper avon ulehavi tsedeq olamim velakhtom khazon venavi velimshoakh qodesh qodashim

“Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city until the measure of transgression is filled and that of sin complete, until iniquity is expiated, and eternal righteousness ushered in; and prophetic vision ratified, and the Holy of Holies anointed.

veteda vetaskel min-motsa davar lehashiv velivnot yerushalai͏m ad-mashiakh nagid shavu'im shivah veshavu'im shishim ushenayim tashuv venivnetah rekhov vekharuts uvetsoq ha'ittim

You must know and understand: From the issuance of the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the [time of the] anointed leader is seven weeks; and for sixty-two weeks it will be rebuilt, square and moat, but in a time of distress.

ve'akhare hashavu'im shishim ushenayim yikkaret mashiakh ve'en lo veha'ir vehaqqodesh yashkhit am nagid habba veqitso vashetef ve'ad qets milkhamah nekheretset shomemot

And after those sixty-two weeks, the anointed one will disappear and vanish. The army of a leader who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary, but its end will come through a flood. Desolation is decreed until the end of war.

vehigbir berit larabbim shavua ekhad vakhatsi hashavua yashbit zevakh uminkhah ve'al kenaf shiqqutsim meshomem ve'ad-kalah venekheratsah tittakh al-shomem

During one week he will make a firm covenant with many. For half a week he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. At the corner [of the altar] will be an appalling abomination until the decreed destruction will be poured down upon the appalling thing.”
