Daniel 9

1 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—

1 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِدَارِيُّوسَ بْنِ أَحْشَوِيرُوشَ مِنْ نَسْلِ ٱلْمَادِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي مُلِّكَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ،

2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the sacred books, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.

2 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى مِنْ مُلْكِهِ، أَنَا دَانِيآلَ فَهِمْتُ مِنَ ٱلْكُتُبِ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عَنْهَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، لِكَمَالَةِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً عَلَى خَرَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

3 فَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَى ٱللهِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ طَالِبًا بِٱلصَّلَاةِ وَٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ، بِٱلصَّوْمِ وَٱلْمَسْحِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ.

4 And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, “O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments,

4 وَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي وَٱعْتَرَفْتُ وَقُلْتُ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْمَهُوبُ، حَافِظَ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَٱلرَّحْمَةِ لِمُحِبِّيهِ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَاهُ.

5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.

5 أَخْطَأْنَا وَأَثِمْنَا وَعَمِلْنَا ٱلشَّرَّ، وَتَمَرَّدْنَا وَحِدْنَا عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ وَعَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ.

6 We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, fathers, and all the people of the land.

6 وَمَا سَمِعْنَا مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ بِٱسْمِكَ كَلَّمُوا مُلُوكَنَا وَرُؤَسَاءَنَا وَآبَاءَنَا وَكُلَّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

7 To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You.

7 لَكَ يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلْبِرُّ، أَمَّا لَنَا فَخِزْيُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ، كَمَا هُوَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلِسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلِكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْقَرِيبِينَ وَٱلْبَعِيدِينَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدْتَهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، مِنْ أَجْلِ خِيَانَتِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي خَانُوكَ إِيَّاهَا.

8 O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.

8 يَا سَيِّدُ، لَنَا خِزْيُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ، لِمُلُوكِنَا، لِرُؤَسَائِنَا وَلِآبَائِنَا لِأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ.

9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him

9 لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا ٱلْمَرَاحِمُ وَٱلْمَغْفِرَةُ، لِأَنَّنَا تَمَرَّدْنَا عَلَيْهِ.

10 and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

10 وَمَا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا لِنَسْلُكَ فِي شَرَائِعِهِ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَهَا أَمَامَنَا عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ.

11 All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.

11 وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ تَعَدَّى عَلَى شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَحَادُوا لِئَلَّا يَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَكَ، فَسَكَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا ٱللَّعْنَةَ وَٱلْحَلْفَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى عَبْدِ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّنَا أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْهِ.

12 You have carried out the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a great disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.

12 وَقَدْ أَقَامَ كَلِمَاتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى قُضَاتِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ قَضَوْا لَنَا، لِيَجْلِبَ عَلَيْنَا شَرًّا عَظِيمًا، مَا لَمْ يُجْرَ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كُلِّهَا كَمَا أُجْرِيَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.

13 كَمَا كُتِبَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، قَدْ جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا كُلُّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ، وَلَمْ نَتَضَرَّعْ إِلَى وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا لِنَرْجِعَ مِنْ آثَامِنَا وَنَفْطِنَ بِحَقِّكَ.

14 Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.

14 فَسَهِرَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ وَجَلَبَهُ عَلَيْنَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا بَارٌّ فِي كُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا إِذْ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ صَوْتَهُ.

15 Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and who made for Yourself a name renowned to this day, we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.

15 وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ إِلَهُنَا، ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَ شَعْبَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ، وَجَعَلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱسْمًا كَمَا هُوَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا، عَمِلْنَا شَرًّا.

16 O Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, I pray that Your anger and wrath may turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all around us.

16 يَا سَيِّدُ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱصْرِفْ سَخَطَكَ وَغَضَبَكَ عَنْ مَدِينَتِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِكَ، إِذْ لِخَطَايَانَا وَلِآثَامِ آبَائِنَا صَارَتْ أُورُشَلِيمُ وَشَعْبُكَ عَارًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا.

17 So now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine upon Your desolate sanctuary.

17 فَٱسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ يَا إِلَهَنَا صَلَاةَ عَبْدِكَ وَتَضَرُّعَاتِهِ، وَأَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى مَقْدِسِكَ ٱلْخَرِبِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ.

18 Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.

18 أَمِلْ أُذُنَكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَٱسْمَعْ. اِفْتَحْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ خِرَبَنَا وَٱلْمَدِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي دُعِيَ ٱسْمُكَ عَلَيْهَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا لِأَجْلِ بِرِّنَا نَطْرَحُ تَضَرُّعَاتِنَا أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ.

19 O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”

19 يَا سَيِّدُ ٱسْمَعْ. يَا سَيِّدُ ٱغْفِرْ. يَا سَيِّدُ أَصْغِ وَٱصْنَعْ. لَا تُؤَخِّرْ مِنْ أَجْلِ نَفْسِكَ يَا إِلَهِي، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَكَ دُعِيَ عَلَى مَدِينَتِكَ وَعَلَى شَعْبِكَ».

20 While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—

20 وَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَعْتَرِفُ بِخَطِيَّتِي وَخَطِيَّةِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَطْرَحُ تَضَرُّعِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي عَنْ جَبَلِ قُدْسِ إِلَهِي،

21 while I was still praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.

21 وَأَنَا مُتَكَلِّمٌ بَعْدُ بِٱلصَّلَاةِ، إِذَا بِٱلرَّجُلِ جِبْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا فِي ٱلِٱبْتِدَاءِ مُطَارًا وَاغِفًا لَمَسَنِي عِنْدَ وَقْتِ تَقْدِمَةِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

22 He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.

22 وَفَهَّمَنِي وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعِي وَقَالَ: «يَا دَانِيآلُ، إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ ٱلْآنَ لِأُعَلِّمَكَ ٱلْفَهْمَ.

23 At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:

23 فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ تَضَرُّعَاتِكَ خَرَجَ ٱلْأَمْرُ، وَأَنَا جِئْتُ لِأُخْبِرَكَ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَحْبُوبٌ. فَتَأَمَّلِ ٱلْكَلَامَ وَٱفْهَمِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا.

24 Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

24 سَبْعُونَ أُسْبُوعًا قُضِيَتْ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ وَعَلَى مَدِينَتِكَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ لِتَكْمِيلِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ وَتَتْمِيمِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، وَلِكَفَّارَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ، وَلِيُؤْتَى بِٱلْبِرِّ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ، وَلِخَتْمِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَٱلنُّبُوَّةِ، وَلِمَسْحِ قُدُّوسِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِينَ.

25 Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.

25 فَٱعْلَمْ وَٱفْهَمْ أَنَّهُ مِنْ خُرُوجِ ٱلْأَمْرِ لِتَجْدِيدِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبِنَائِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلرَّئِيسِ سَبْعَةُ أَسَابِيعَ وَٱثْنَانِ وَسِتُّونَ أُسْبُوعًا، يَعُودُ وَيُبْنَى سُوقٌ وَخَلِيجٌ فِي ضِيقِ ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ.

26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.

26 وَبَعْدَ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ أُسْبُوعًا يُقْطَعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ، وَشَعْبُ رَئِيسٍ آتٍ يُخْرِبُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلْقُدْسَ، وَٱنْتِهَاؤُهُ بِغَمَارَةٍ، وَإِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ حَرْبٌ وَخِرَبٌ قُضِيَ بِهَا.

27 And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”

27 وَيُثَبِّتُ عَهْدًا مَعَ كَثِيرِينَ فِي أُسْبُوعٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأُسْبُوعِ يُبَطِّلُ ٱلذَّبِيحَةَ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةَ، وَعَلَى جَنَاحِ ٱلْأَرْجَاسِ مُخَرَّبٌ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ وَيُصَبَّ ٱلْمَقْضِيُّ عَلَى ٱلْمُخَرِّبِ».
