Daniel 9

Daniel's Prayer for His People

1

In the firsth259 yearh8141 of  aDariush1867 the sonh1121 of Ahasuerush325, of Medianh4074 descenth2233, whoh834 was madeh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 the kingdomh4438 of the Chaldeansh3778--

2

in the firsth259 yearh8141 of his reignh4427a, I, Danielh1840, observedh995 in the booksh5612 the numberh4557 of the yearsh8141 whichh834 was revealed as the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 to  aJeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 for the completionh4390 of the desolationsh2723 of Jerusalemh3389, namely,  aseventyh7657 yearsh8141.

3

So I  1gaveh5414 my attentionh6440 to the Lordh136 Godh430 to seekh1245 Him by prayerh8605 and supplicationsh8469, with fastingh6685, sackclothh8242 and ashesh665.

4

I prayedh6419 to the LORDh3068 my Godh430 and confessedh3034 and saidh559, "Alash577, O Lordh136, the  agreath1419 and awesomeh3372a Godh410, who  bkeepsh8104 His covenanth1285 and lovingkindnessh2617a for those who loveh157 Him and keeph8104 His commandmentsh4687,

5

 awe have sinnedh2398, committedh5753b iniquityh5753b, actedh7561 wickedlyh7561 and  brebelledh4775, even  cturningh5493 asideh5493 from Your commandmentsh4687 and ordinancesh4941.

6

"Moreover, we have not  alistenedh8085 to Your servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030, whoh834 spokeh1696 in Your nameh8034 to our kingsh4428, our princesh8269, our fathersh1 and allh3605 the peopleh5971a of the landh776.

7

aRighteousnessh6666 belongs to You, O Lordh136, but to us  1 bopenh6440 shameh1322, as it is thish2088 dayh3117--to the menh376 of Judahh3063, the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 and allh3605 Israelh3478, those who are nearbyh7138 and those who are farh7350 away in  callh3605 the countriesh776 to whichh834 You have drivenh5080 them, because of their unfaithfulh4604 deedsh4604 whichh834 they have committedh4603 against You.

8

1Openh6440 shameh1322 belongs to us, O Lordh3068, to our kingsh4428, our princesh8269 and our fathersh1, becauseh834 we have sinnedh2398 against You.

9

"To the Lordh136 our Godh430 belong  acompassionh7356 and forgivenessh5547,  1for we have  brebelledh4775 against Him;

10

norh3808 have we obeyedh8085 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430, to walkh1980 in His  1teachingsh8451 whichh834 He  aseth5414 beforeh6440 us throughh3027 His servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030.

11

"Indeed  aallh3605 Israelh3478 has transgressedh5674a Your lawh8451 and turnedh5493 asideh5493, not obeyingh8085 Your voiceh6963; so the  bcurseh423 has been pouredh5413 out on us, along with the oathh7621 whichh834 is writtenh3789 in the lawh8451 of Mosesh4872 the servanth5650 of Godh430, for we have sinnedh2398 against Him.

12

"Thus He has  aconfirmedh6965 His wordsh1697 whichh834 He had spokenh1696 againsth5921 us and againsth5921 our  1 brulersh8199 whoh834 ruledh8199 us, to bringh935 on us greath1419 calamityh7463a; for underh8478 the wholeh3605 heavenh8064 there has  cnot been doneh6213a anything like whath3512c was doneh6213a to Jerusalemh3389.

13

"As it is writtenh3789 in the  alawh8451 of Mosesh4872, allh3605 thish2088 calamityh7463a has comeh935 on us; yet we have  bnot  1soughth2470b the favorh2470bh6440 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430 by  cturningh7725 from our iniquityh5771 and  2givingh7919a attentionh7919a to Your truthh571.

14

"Therefore the LORDh3068 has  1 akepth8245 the calamityh7463a in storeh8245 and broughth935 it on us; for the LORDh3068 our Godh430 is  brighteoush6662 with respecth5921 to allh3605 His deedsh4639 whichh834 He has doneh6213a, but we have not obeyedh8085 His voiceh6963.

15

"And nowh6258, O Lordh136 our Godh430, whoh834 have  abroughth3318 Your peopleh5971a out of the landh776 of Egypth4714 with a mightyh2389 handh3027 and have  bmadeh6213a a nameh8034 for Yourself, as it is thish2088 dayh3117--we have sinnedh2398, we have beenh7561 wickedh7561.

16

"O Lordh136, in accordance with allh3605 Your  1righteoush6666 actsh6666, let nowh4994 Your  aangerh639 and Your wrathh2534 turnh7725 awayh7725 from Your cityh5892b Jerusalemh3389, Your  bholyh6944 mountainh2022; for becauseh3588 of our sinsh2399 and the iniquitiesh5771 of our fathersh1, Jerusalemh3389 and Your peopleh5971a have become a  creproachh2781 to allh3605 those aroundh5439 us.

17

"So nowh6258, our Godh430, listenh8085 to the prayerh8605 of Your servanth5650 and to his supplicationsh8469, and for  1Your sakeh4616, O Lordh136,  alet Your faceh6440 shineh215 on Your  bdesolateh8076 sanctuaryh4720.

18

"O my Godh430,  ainclineh5186 Your earh241 and hearh8085! Openh6491b Your eyesh5869 and  bseeh7200 our desolationsh8074 and the cityh5892b whichh834 is  ccalledh7121 by Your nameh8034; for we are not  1 dpresentingh5307 our supplicationsh8469 beforeh6440 You on accounth5921 of  2any meritsh6666 of our own, but on accounth5921 of Your greath7227a compassionh7356.

19

"O Lordh136, hearh8085! O Lordh136, forgiveh5545! O Lordh136, listenh7181 and takeh6213a actionh6213a! For Your own sakeh4616, O my Godh430,  ado not delayh309, becauseh3588 Your cityh5892b and Your peopleh5971a are calledh7121 by Your nameh8034."

Gabriel Brings an Answer

20

Now whileh5750 I was  aspeakingh1696 and prayingh6419, and  bconfessingh3034 my sinh2403b and the sinh2403b of my peopleh5971a Israelh3478, and  1presentingh5307 my supplicationh8467 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 my Godh430 in behalfh5921 of the holyh6944 mountainh2022 of my Godh430,

21

whileh5750 I was stillh5750 speakingh1696 in prayerh8605, then the manh376  aGabrielh1403, whomh834 I had seenh7200 in the visionh2377  1previouslyh8462,  2cameh5060 to me  3in my extremeh3286 wearinessh3288 about the timeh6256 of the  beveningh6153 offeringh4503.

22

He gaveh995 me instructionh995 and talkedh1696 with me and saidh559, "O Danielh1840, I have nowh6258 comeh3318 forthh3318 to giveh7919a you insighth7919a with  aunderstandingh998.

23

"At the  abeginningh8462 of your supplicationsh8469 the  1commandh1697 was issuedh3318, and I have comeh935 to tellh5046 you, for you are  2 bhighlyh2536b esteemedh2536b; so giveh995 heedh995 to the messageh1697 and gainh995  cunderstandingh995 of the visionh4758.

Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

24

"Seventyh7657  1 aweeksh7620 have been decreedh2852 for your peopleh5971a and your holyh6944 cityh5892b, to  2finishh3615 the transgressionh6588, to  3makeh8552 an endh8552 of sinh2403b, to  bmakeh3722a atonementh3722a for iniquityh5771, to bringh935 in  ceverlastingh5769 righteousnessh6664, to sealh2856 up visionh2377 and  4prophecyh5030 and to anointh4886 the mosth6944 holyh6944 place.

25

"So you are to knowh3045 and discernh7919a that from the issuingh4161 of a  1 adecreeh1697 to restoreh7725 and rebuildh1129 Jerusalemh3389 untilh5704  2 bMessiahh4899 the  cPrinceh5057 there will be sevenh7655 weeksh7620 and sixty-twoh8346h8147 weeksh7620; it will be builth1129 againh7725, with  3plazah7339 and moath2742c, even in timesh6256 of distressh6695a.

26

"Then afterh310 the sixty-twoh8346h8147 weeksh7620 the  1Messiahh4899 will be  acuth3772 offh3772 and haveh369  2nothingh369, and the peopleh5971a of the princeh5057 who is to comeh935 will  bdestroyh7843 the cityh5892b and the sanctuaryh6944. And  3its endh7093 will come with a  cfloodh7858; even to the endh7093  4there will be warh4421; desolationsh8074 are determinedh2782.

27

"And he will makeh1396 a firmh1396 covenanth1285 with the manyh7227a for oneh259 weekh7620, but in the middleh2677 of the weekh7620 he will puth7673a a stoph7673a to sacrificeh2077 and grain offeringh4503; and on the wingh3671 of  1 aabominationsh8251 will come one who  2makesh8074 desolateh8074, even untilh5704 a  bcompleteh3617 destructionh3617, one that is decreedh2782, is pouredh5413 out on the one who  2makesh8074 desolateh8074."
