Daniel 9



 1. In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius 
<1867 Dar<yavesh > the son <1121 ben > of Ahasuerus <0325 
>Achashverowsh >, of the seed <2233 zera< > of the Medes <4074 
Maday >, which <0834 >aher > was made king <4427 malak > over 
<5921 <al > the realm <4438 malkuwth > of the Chaldeans <3778 
Kasdiy >;



 2 In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign 
<4427 malak > I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > understood <0995 biyn > 
by books <5612 cepher > the number <4557 micpar > of the years 
<8141 shaneh >, whereof <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, that he would accomplish 
<4390 male> > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > years <8141 shaneh > in 
the desolations <2723 chorbah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim 
>.



 3 And I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > unto the Lord 
<0136 >Adonay > God <0430 >elohiym >, to seek <1245 baqash > by 
prayer <8605 t@phillah > and supplications <8469 tachanuwn >, 
with fasting <6685 tsowm >, and sackcloth <8242 saq >, and ashes 
<0665 >epher >:



 4. And I prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my 
God <0430 >elohiym >, and made my confession <3034 yadah >, and 
said <0559 >amar >, O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, the great <1419 
gadowl > and dreadful <3372 yare> > God <0410 >el >, keeping 
<8104 shamar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy <2617 
checed > to them that love <0157 >ahab > him, and to them that 
keep <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >;



 5 We have sinned <2398 chata> >, and have committed <5753 <avah 
> iniquity <5753 <avah >, and have done wickedly <7561 rasha< >, 
and have rebelled <4775 marad >, even by departing <5493 cuwr > 
from thy precepts <4687 mitsvah > and from thy judgments <4941 
mishpat >:



 6 Neither <3808 lo> > have we hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thy 
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, which <0834 
>aher > spake <1696 dabar > in thy name <8034 shem > to our 
kings <4428 melek >, our princes <8269 sar >, and our fathers 
<1>, and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land 
<0776 >erets >.



 7 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > 
[belongeth] unto thee, but unto us confusion <1322 bosheth > of 
faces <6440 paniym >, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >; 
to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, 
and unto all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [that are] 
near <7138 qarowb >, and [that are] far <7350 rachowq > off, 
through all <3605 kol > the countries <0776 >erets > whither 
thou hast driven <5080 nadach > them, because of their trespass 
<4604 ma<al > that they have trespassed <4603 ma<al > against 
thee.



 8 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, to us [belongeth] confusion <1322 
bosheth > of face <6440 paniym >, to our kings <4428 melek >, to 
our princes <8269 sar >, and to our fathers <1>, because <0834 
>aher > we have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee.



 9 To the Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 >elohiym > [belong] 
mercies <7356 racham > and forgivenesses <5547 c@liychah >, 
though <3588 kiy > we have rebelled <4775 marad > against him;



 10 Neither <3808 lo> > have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice 
<6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym 
>, to walk <3212 yalak > in his laws <8451 towrah >, which <0834 
>aher > he set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > us by his 
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >.





 11 Yea, all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have 
transgressed <5674 <abar > thy law <8451 towrah >, even by 
departing <5493 cuwr >, that they might not obey <8085 shama< > 
thy voice <6963 qowl >; therefore the curse <0423 >alah > is 
poured <5413 nathak > upon us, and the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > 
that [is] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of 
Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of God <0430 
>elohiym >, because <3588 kiy > we have sinned <2398 chata> > 
against him.



 12 And he hath confirmed <6965 quwm > his words <1697 dabar >, 
which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > 
us, and against <5921 <al > our judges <8199 shaphat > that 
judged <8199 shaphat > us, by bringing <0935 bow> > upon us a 
great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< >: for under <8478 tachath > 
the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > hath not been done 
as hath been done <6213 <asah > upon Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >.



 13 As [it is] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > 
of Moses <4872 Mosheh >, all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil 
<7451 ra< > is come <0935 bow> > upon us: yet made we not our 
prayer <2470 chalah > before the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God 
<0430 >elohiym >, that we might turn <7725 shuwb > from our 
iniquities <5771 <avon >, and understand <7919 sakal > thy truth 
<0571 >emeth >.



 14 Therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > watched <8245 shaqad 
> upon the evil <7451 ra< >, and brought <0935 bow> > it upon us:
 for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > [is] 
righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > in all <3605 kol > his works <4639 
ma<aseh > which <0834 >aher > he doeth <6213 <asah >: for we 
obeyed <8085 shama< > not his voice <6963 qowl >.



 15 And now <6258 <attah >, O Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 
>elohiym >, that hast brought <3318 yatsa> > thy people <5971 
<am > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with a mighty <2389 chazaq > hand <3027 
yad >, and hast gotten <6213 <asah > thee renown <8034 shem >, 
as at this day <3117 yowm >; we have sinned <2398 chata> >, we 
have done wickedly <7561 rasha< >.



 16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, according to all <3605 kol > thy 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee, let 
thine anger <0639 >aph > and thy fury <2534 chemah > be turned 
<7725 shuwb > away from thy city <5892 <iyr > Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, thy holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har >: 
because <3588 kiy > for our sins <2399 chet> >, and for the 
iniquities <5771 <avon > of our fathers <1>, Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > and thy people <5971 <am > [are become] a 
reproach <2781 cherpah > to all <3605 kol > [that are] about 
<5439 cabiyb > us.



 17 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O our God <0430 >elohiym >, 
hear <8085 shama< > the prayer <8605 t@phillah > of thy servant 
<5650 <ebed >, and his supplications <8469 tachanuwn >, and 
cause thy face <6440 paniym > to shine <0215 >owr > upon thy 
sanctuary <4720 miqdash > that is desolate <8074 shamem >, for 
the Lord's <0136 >Adonay > sake <4616 ma<an >.



 18 O my God <0430 >elohiym >, incline <5186 natah > thine ear 
<0241 >ozen >, and hear <8085 shama< >; open <6491 paqach > 
thine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and behold <7200 ra>ah > our 
desolations <8074 shamem >, and the city <5892 <iyr > which 
<0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >: 
for we do not present <5307 naphal > our supplications <8469 
tachanuwn > before <6440 paniym > thee for our righteousnesses 
<6666 ts@daqah >, but for thy great <7227 rab > mercies <7356 
racham >.



 19 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, hear <8085 shama< >; O Lord <0136 
>Adonay >, forgive <5545 calach >; O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, 
hearken <7181 qashab > and do <6213 <asah >; defer <0309 >achar 
> not, for thine own sake <4616 ma<an >, O my God <0430 >elohiym 
>: for thy city <5892 <iyr > and thy people <5971 <am > are 
called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >.



 20. And whiles <5750 <owd > I [was] speaking <1696 dabar >, and 
praying <6419 palal >, and confessing <3034 yadah > my sin <2403 
chatta>ah > and the sin <2403 chatta>ah > of my people <5971 <am 
> Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and presenting <5307 naphal > my 
supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 paniym > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > for the holy <6944 
qodesh > mountain <2022 har > of my God <0430 >elohiym >;



 21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <1696 dabar > in prayer <8605 
t@phillah >, even the man <0376 >iysh > Gabriel <1403 Gabriy>el 
>, whom <0834 >aher > I had seen <7200 ra>ah > in the vision 
<2377 chazown > at the beginning <8462 t@chillah >, being caused 
to fly <3286 ya<aph > swiftly <3288 y@aph >, touched <5060 naga< 
> me about the time <6256 <eth > of the evening <6153 <ereb > 
oblation <4503 minchah >.



 22 And he informed <0995 biyn > [me], and talked <1696 dabar > 
with me, and said <0559 >amar >, O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, I am 
now <6258 <attah > come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to 
give thee skill <7919 sakal > and understanding <0998 biynah >.



 23 At the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of thy supplications 
<8469 tachanuwn > the commandment <1697 dabar > came <3318 
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and I am come <0935 bow> > to 
shew <5046 nagad > [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved <2530 
chamad >: therefore understand <0995 biyn > the matter <1697 
dabar >, and consider <0995 biyn > the vision <2377 chazown >.



 24 Seventy <7657 shib<iym. > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > are 
determined <2852 chathak > upon thy people <5971 <am > and upon 
thy holy <6944 qodesh > city <5892 <iyr >, to finish <3607 kala> 
> the transgression <6588 pesha< >, and to make an end <2856 
chatham > of sins <2403 chatta>ah >, and to make reconciliation 
<3722 kaphar > for iniquity <5771 <avon >, and to bring <0935 
bow> > in everlasting <5769 <owlam > righteousness <6664 tsedeq 
>, and to seal <2856 chatham > up the vision <2377 chazown > and 
prophecy <5030 nabiy> >, and to anoint <4886 mashach > the most 
<6944 qodesh > Holy <6944 qodesh >.





 25 Know <3045 yada< > therefore and understand <7919 sakal >, 
[that] from the going <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > of 
the commandment <1697 dabar > to restore <7725 shuwb > and to 
build <1129 banah > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto the 
Messiah <4899 mashiyach > the Prince <5057 nagiyd > [shall be] 
seven <7651 sheba< > weeks <7620 shabuwa< >, and threescore 
<8346 shishshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< 
>: the street <7339 r@chob > shall be built <1129 banah > again 
<7725 shuwb >, and the wall <2742 charuwts >, even in troublous 
<5916 <akar > times <6256 <eth >.



 26 And after <0310 >achar > threescore <8346 shishshiym > and 
two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > shall Messiah <4899 
mashiyach > be cut <3772 karath > off, but not for himself: and 
the people <5971 <am > of the prince <5057 nagiyd > that shall 
come <0935 bow> > shall destroy <7843 shachath > the city <5892 
<iyr > and the sanctuary <6944 qodesh >; and the end <7093 qets 
> thereof [shall be] with a flood <7858 sheteph >, and unto the 
end <7093 qets > of the war <4421 milchamah > desolations <8074 
shamem > are determined <2782 charats >.



 27 And he shall confirm <1396 gabar > the covenant <1285 
b@riyth > with many <7227 rab > for one <0259 >echad > week 
<7620 shabuwa< >: and in the midst <2677 chetsiy > of the week 
<7620 shabuwa< > he shall cause the sacrifice <2077 zebach > and 
the oblation <4503 minchah > to cease <7673 shabath >, and for 
the overspreading <3671 kanaph > of abominations <8251 shiqquwts 
> he shall make [it] desolate <8074 shamem >, even until <5704 
<ad > the consummation <3617 kalah >, and that determined <2782 
charats > shall be poured <5413 nathak > upon the desolate <8076 
shamem >.
