< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
V prvem letu Dareja, sina Ahasvérja, iz rodu Medijcev, ki je bil postavljen za kralja nad območjem Kaldejcev,
2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
v prvem letu njegovega kraljevanja sem jaz, Daniel, po knjigah razumel število let, o čemer je Gospodova beseda prišla preroku Jeremiju, da bo dovršil sedemdeset let v opustošenjih Jeruzalema.
3 And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
Svoj obraz sem naravnal h Gospodu Bogu, da [ga] iščem z molitvijo, ponižnimi prošnjami, postom, vrečevino in pepelom.
4 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Molil sem h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu in naredil svoje priznanje ter rekel: »Oh Gospod, velik in grozen Bog, ki ohranja zavezo in usmiljenje tistim, ki ga ljubijo in tistim, ki se držijo njegovih zapovedi.
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Grešili smo in zagrešili krivičnost, počeli zlobno in se uprli, celo z odhajanjem od tvojih predpisov in od tvojih sodb.
6 Neither have we hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Niti nismo prisluhnili tvojim služabnikom prerokom, ki so v tvojem imenu govorili našim kraljem, našim princem in našim očetom in vsemu ljudstvu dežele.
7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth to thee, but to us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries to which thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
Oh Gospod, pravičnost pripada tebi, toda nam zmešnjava obrazov, kakor na ta dan; možem iz Juda in prebivalcem Jeruzalema in vsemu Izraelu, ki so blizu in ki so daleč, po vseh deželah, kamor si jih pognal zaradi njihovega prekrška, ki so ga zagrešili zoper tebe.
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Oh Gospod, nam pripada osramotitev obrazov, našim kraljem, našim princem in našim očetom, ker smo grešili zoper tebe.
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
Gospodu, našemu Bogu, pripadajo usmiljenja in odpuščanja, čeprav smo grešili zoper njega,
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
niti se nismo pokoravali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, da se ravnamo po njegovih postavah, ki jih je postavil pred nami po svojih služabnikih prerokih.
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
Da, ves Izrael je prekršil pravila tvoje postave, celo z odhajanjem, da ne bi ubogali tvojega glasu. Zato je nad nas izlito prekletstvo in prisega, ki je zapisana v postavi Božjega služabnika Mojzesa, ker smo grešili zoper njega.
12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven it hath not been done as it hath been done upon Jerusalem.
In on je potrdil svoje besede, ki jih je govoril zoper nas in zoper naše sodnike, ki so nas sodili, s tem, da je nad nas privedel veliko zlo, kajti pod celotnim nebom se ni zgodilo, kakor se je zgodilo nad Jeruzalemom.
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
Kakor je to zapisano v Mojzesovi postavi, je vse to zlo prišlo nad nas, vendar nismo opravili svoje molitve pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, da bi se lahko obrnili od svojih krivičnosti in razumeli tvojo resnico.
14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we have not obeyed his voice.
Zato je Gospod bedel nad zlom in ga privedel nad nas, kajti Gospod, naš Bog, je pravičen v vseh svojih delih, ki jih počne, kajti nismo ubogali njegovega glasu.
15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast made thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Sedaj, oh Gospod, naš Bog, ki si svoje ljudstvo z mogočno roko privedel iz egiptovske dežele in si si pridobil ugled kakor na ta dan; grešili smo, počeli smo zlobno.
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people have become a reproach to all that are about us.
Oh Gospod, glede na vso tvojo pravičnost te rotim, naj bo tvoja jeza in tvoja razjarjenost obrnjena proč od tvojega mesta, Jeruzalema, tvoje svete gore, ker so zaradi naših grehov in zaradi krivičnosti naših očetov Jeruzalem in tvoje ljudstvo postali graja vsem, ki so okoli nas.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
Zdaj torej, oh naš Bog, prisluhni molitvi svojega služabnika in njegovim ponižnim prošnjam in povzroči svojemu obrazu, da zasije nad tvojim svetiščem, ki je zapuščeno zaradi Gospoda.
18 O my God, incline thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
Oh moj Bog, nagni svoje uho in prisluhni. Odpri svoje oči in glej naša opustošenja in mesto, ki je imenovano s tvojim imenom, kajti ne predstavljamo svojih ponižnih prošenj pred teboj zaradi svoje pravičnosti, temveč zaradi tvojih velikih usmiljenj.
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thy own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
Oh Gospod, prisluhni; oh Gospod, odpusti; oh Gospod, prisluhni in stôri. Ne odlašaj zaradi sebe, oh moj Bog, kajti tvoje mesto in tvoje ljudstvo se imenujeta po tvojem imenu.«
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Medtem ko sem govoril in molil ter priznaval svoj greh in greh svojega ljudstva Izraela in predstavljal svojo ponižno prošnjo pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, za sveto goro svojega Boga;
21 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
da, medtem ko sem govoril v molitvi, je celo mož Gabriel, ki sem ga videl v videnju na začetku, naglo priletel in se me dotaknil ob času večerne daritve.
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
Poučil me je, govoril z menoj in rekel: »Oh Daniel, sedaj sem prišel, da ti dam znanje in razumevanje.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Na začetku tvoje ponižne prošnje je prišla zapoved in prišel sem, da se ti pokažem, kajti ti si silno ljubljen, zato razumi zadevo in preudari videnje.
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Sedemdeset tednov je določenih nad tvojim ljudstvom in nad tvojim svetim mestom, da preneha prestopek in se naredi konec grehom in se naredi pobotanje za krivičnost in da se vpelje večna pravičnost in se zapečatita videnje in prerokovanje in da se mazili Najsvetejše.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Vedi torej in razumi, da bo od izida zapovedi, da se obnovi in zgradi Jeruzalem, do Mesija, Princa, sedem tednov in dvainšestdeset tednov. Ulica bo ponovno zgrajena in obzidje, celo v težkih časih.
26 And after sixty and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined.
Po dvainšestdesetih tednih bo Mesija usmrčen, toda ne zaradi sebe; in ljudstvo princa, ki bo prišlo, bo uničilo mesto in svetišče. Njegov konec bo s poplavo in do konca so določena vojna opustošenja.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Potrdil bo to zavezo z mnogimi za en teden. In v sredi tedna bo povzročil, da bo klavna daritev in jedilna daritev prenehala in zaradi razširjanja ogabnosti bo on to opustošil, celo do použitja in to določeno bo izlito na opustošenje.«
