Daniel 9

¹ I Darius, Ahasveruses søns første regeringsår, han som var af medisk Byrd og var blevet Konge over kaldæernes Rige,

¹ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—

³ Jeg vendte mit Ansigt til Gud Herren for at fremføre Bøn og Begæring under Faste i Sæk og Aske.

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

⁵ Vi har syndet og handlet ilde, været gudløse og genstridige; vi veg fra dine Bud og Vedtægter

⁵ we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

⁷ Du står med Retten, Herre, vi med vort Ansigts Blusel, som det nu viser sig, vi Judas Mænd, Jerusalems Borgere, ja alt Israel fjernt og nær i alle Lande, hvor du drev dem hen for deres Troløshed imod dig.

⁷ “Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.

⁹ Men hos Herren vor Gud er Barmhjertighed og Tilgivelse, thi vi stod ham imod

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

¹¹ Nej, hele Israel overtrådte din Lov og faldt fra, ulydige mod din Røst; så udøste den svorne Forbandelse, som står skrevet i Guds Tjener Mosess Lov, sig over os, thi vi syndede imod ham;

¹¹ Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.

¹³ Som skrevet står i Mose Lov, kom hele denne Ulykke over os; og vi stemte ikke HERREN vor Gud til Mildhed ved at vende om fra vore Misgerninger og vinde Indsigt i din Sandhed.

¹³ As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth.

¹⁵ Og nu, Herre vor Gud, du, som med stærk Hånd førte dit Folk ud af Ægypten og vandt dig et Navn, som er det samme den Dag i Dag: Vi syndede og var gudløse!

¹⁵ “And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have been wicked.

¹⁷ Så lyt da nu, vor Gud, til din Tjeners Bøn og Begæring og lad dit Ansigt lyse over din ødelagte Helligdom for din egen Skyld, o Herre!

¹⁷ So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary.

¹⁹ Herre, hør! Herre, tilgiv! Herre, lån Øre og grib uden Tøven ind for din egen Skyld, min Gud; thi dit Navn er nævnet over din By og dit Folk!"

¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

²¹ medens jeg endnu bad, kom Manden Gabriel, som jeg tidligere havde set i Synet, hastigt flyvende nær hen til mig ved Aftenofferets Tid;

²¹ while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering.

²³ Straks du begyndte at bede, udgik et Ord, og jeg er kommet for at kundgøre dig det; thi du er højt elsket; så mærk dig Ordet og agt på Åbenbaringen!

²³ At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.

²⁵ Og du skal vide og forstå: Fra den Tid Ordet om Jerusalems Genrejsning og Opbyggelse udgik, indtil en Salvet, en Fyrste, kommer, er der syv Uger; og i to og tresindstyve Uger skal det genrejses og opbygges med Torve og Gader under Tidernes Trængsel.

²⁵ So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

²⁷ Og pagten skal ophæves for de mange i een Uge, og i Ugens sidste Halvdel skal Slagtoffer og Afgrødeoffer ophøre, og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed skal sættes på det hellige Sted, indtil den fastsatte Undergang udøser sig over Ødelæggeren. 

²⁷ And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
