< Daniel 9 >

1 [Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
در سال اول داریوش بن اخشورش که ازنسل مادیان و بر مملکت کلدانیان پادشاه شده بود.۱
2 During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
در سال اول سلطنت او، من دانیال، عدد سالهایی را که کلام خداوند درباره آنها به ارمیای نبی نازل شده بود از کتب فهمیدم که هفتادسال در خرابی اورشلیم تمام خواهد شد.۲
3 [After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
پس روی خود را بسوی خداوند خدا متوجه ساختم تا با دعا و تضرعات و روزه و پلاس و خاکسترمسالت نمایم؛۳
4 I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
و نزد یهوه خدای خود دعا کردم و اعتراف نموده، گفتم: «ای خداوند خدای عظیم و مهیب که عهد و رحمت را با محبان خویش وآنانی که فرایض تو را حفظ می‌نمایند نگاه می‌داری!۴
5 But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
ما گناه و عصیان و شرارت ورزیده وتمرد نموده و از اوامر و احکام تو تجاوز کرده‌ایم.۵
6 Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
و به بندگانت انبیایی که به اسم تو به پادشاهان وسروران و پدران ما و به تمامی قوم زمین سخن‌گفتند گوش نگرفته‌ایم.۶
7 Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
‌ای خداوند عدالت ازآن تو است و رسوایی از آن ما است. چنانکه امروز شده است از مردان یهودا و ساکنان اورشلیم و همه اسرائیلیان چه نزدیک و چه دوردر همه زمینهایی که ایشان را به‌سبب خیانتی که به تو ورزیده‌اند در آنها پراکنده ساخته‌ای.۷
8 Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
‌ای خداوند رسوایی از آن ما و پادشاهان و سروران وپدران ما است زیرا که به تو گناه ورزیده‌ایم.۸
9 Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
خداوند خدای ما را رحمتها و مغفرتها است هرچند بدو گناه ورزیده‌ایم.۹
10 Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
و کلام یهوه خدای خود را نشنیده‌ایم تا در شریعت او که به وسیله بندگانش انبیا پیش ما گذارد سلوک نماییم.۱۰
11 All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
و تمامی اسرائیل از شریعت توتجاوز نموده و روگردان شده، به آواز تو گوش نگرفته‌اند بنابراین لعنت و سوگندی که در تورات موسی بنده خدا مکتوب است بر ما مستولی گردیده، چونکه به او گناه ورزیده‌ایم.۱۱
12 You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
و اوکلام خود را که به ضد ما و به ضد داوران ما که برما داوری می‌نمودند گفته بود استوار نموده وبلای عظیمی بر ما وارد آورده است زیرا که زیر تمامی آسمان حادثه‌ای واقع نشده، مثل آنکه بر اورشلیم واقع شده است.۱۲
13 [You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
تمامی این بلا بر وفق آنچه در تورات موسی مکتوب است برما وارد شده است، معهذا نزد یهوه خدای خود مسالت ننمودیم تا از معصیت خودبازگشت نموده، راستی تو را بفهمیم.۱۳
14 So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
بنابراین خداوند بر این بلا مراقب بوده، آن را بر ما واردآورد زیرا که یهوه خدای ما در همه کارهایی که می‌کند عادل است اما ما به آواز او گوش نگرفتیم.۱۴
15 O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
«پس الان‌ای خداوند خدای ما که قوم خود را به‌دست قوی از زمین مصر بیرون آورده، اسمی برای خود پیدا کرده‌ای، چنانکه امروزشده است، ما گناه ورزیده و شرارت نموده‌ایم.۱۵
16 Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
‌ای خداوند مسالت آنکه برحسب تمامی عدالت خود خشم و غضب خویش را از شهرخود اورشلیم و از کوه مقدس خود برگردانی زیرابه‌سبب گناهان ما و معصیتهای پدران ما اورشلیم و قوم تو نزد همه مجاوران ما رسوا شده است.۱۶
17 O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
پس حال‌ای خدای ما دعا و تضرعات بنده خود را اجابت فرما و روی خود را بر مقدس خویش که خراب شده است به‌خاطر خداوندیت متجلی فرما.۱۷
18 My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
‌ای خدایم گوش خود را فراگیر وبشنو و چشمان خود را باز کن و به خرابیهای ما وشهری که به اسم تو مسمی است نظر فرما، زیراکه ما تضرعات خود را نه برای عدالت خویش بلکه برای رحمتهای عظیم تو به حضور تومی نماییم.۱۸
19 Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
‌ای خداوند بشنو! ای خداوندبیامرز! ای خداوند استماع نموده، به عمل آور! ای خدای من به‌خاطر خودت تاخیر منمازیرا که شهر تو و قوم تو به اسم تو مسمی می‌باشند.»۱۹
20 I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
و چون من هنوز سخن می‌گفتم و دعامی نمودم و به گناهان خود و گناهان قوم خویش اسرائیل اعتراف می‌کردم و تضرعات خود رابرای کوه مقدس خدایم به حضور یهوه خدای خویش معروض می‌داشتم،۲۰
21 While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
چون هنوز در دعامتکلم می‌بودم، آن مرد جبرائیل که او را دررویای اول دیده بودم بسرعت پرواز نموده، به وقت هدیه شام نزد من رسید،۲۱
22 He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
و مرا اعلام نمودو با من متکلم شده، گفت: «ای دانیال الان من بیرون آمده‌ام تا تو را فطانت و فهم بخشم.۲۲
23 When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
درابتدای تضرعات تو امر صادر گردید و من آمدم تاتو را خبر دهم زیرا که تو بسیار محبوب هستی، پس در این کلام تامل کن و رویا را فهم نما.۲۳
24 [God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
هفتاد هفته برای قوم تو و برای شهر مقدست مقرر می‌باشد تا تقصیرهای آنها تمام شود وگناهان آنها به انجام رسد و کفاره به جهت عصیان کرده شود و عدالت جاودانی آورده شود و رویا ونبوت مختوم گردد و قدس‌الاقداس مسح شود.۲۴
25 You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
پس بدان و بفهم که از صدور فرمان به جهت تعمیر نمودن و بناکردن اورشلیم تا (ظهور) مسیح رئیس، هفت هفته و شصت و دو هفته خواهد بودو (اورشلیم ) با کوچه‌ها و حصار در زمانهای تنگی تعمیر و بنا خواهد شد.۲۵
26 After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
و بعد از آن شصت و دو هفته، مسیح منقطع خواهد گردید واز آن او نخواهد بود، بلکه قوم آن رئیس که می‌آید شهر و قدس را خراب خواهند ساخت وآخر او در آن سیلاب خواهد بود و تا آخر جنگ خرابیها معین است.۲۶
27 That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
و او با اشخاص بسیار دریک هفته عهد را استوار خواهد ساخت و در نصف آن هفته قربانی و هدیه را موقوف خواهدکرد و بر کنگره رجاسات خراب کننده‌ای خواهدآمد والی النهایت آنچه مقدر است بر خراب کننده ریخته خواهد شد.»۲۷
