Daniel 9

1 Daniel, considering the time of the captivity, 3 maketh confession of sins, 16 and prayeth for the restoration of Jerusalem. 20 Gabriel informeth him of the seventy weeks.

 9:1 In the first 259 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the son 1121 of Ahasuerus 325, of Median 4074 descent 2233, who 834 was made 4427a king 4427a over 5921 the kingdom 4438 of the Chaldeans 3778—

 9:2 in the first 259 year 8141 of his reign 4427a, I, Daniel 1840, observed 995 in the books 5612 the number 4557 of the years 8141 which 834 was [revealed as] the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 to Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 for the completion 4390 of the desolations 2723 of Jerusalem 3389, [namely], seventy 7657 years 8141.

 9:3 So I gave 5414 my attention 6440 to the Lord 136 God 430 to seek 1245 [Him by] prayer 8605 and supplications 8469, with fasting 6685, sackcloth 8242 and ashes 665.

 9:4 I prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068 my God 430 and confessed 3034 and said 559, “Alas 577, O Lord 136, the great 1419 and awesome 3372a God 410, who keeps 8104 His covenant 1285 and lovingkindness 2617a for those who love 157 Him and keep 8104 His commandments 4687,

 9:5 we have sinned 2398, committed 5753b iniquity 5753b, acted 7561 wickedly 7561 and rebelled 4775, even turning 5493 aside 5493 from Your commandments 4687 and ordinances 4941.

 9:6 “Moreover, we have not listened 8085 to Your servants 5650 the prophets 5030, who 834 spoke 1696 in Your name 8034 to our kings 4428, our princes 8269, our fathers 1 and all 3605 the people 5971a of the land 776.

 9:7 ¶ “Righteousness 6666 belongs to You, O Lord 136, but to us open 6440 shame 1322, as it is this 2088 day 3117—to the men 376 of Judah 3063, the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 and all 3605 Israel 3478, those who are nearby 7138 and those who are far 7350 away in all 3605 the countries 776 to which 834 You have driven 5080 them, because of their unfaithful 4604 deeds 4604 which 834 they have committed 4603 against You.

 9:8 “Open 6440 shame 1322 belongs to us, O Lord 3068, to our kings 4428, our princes 8269 and our fathers 1, because 834 we have sinned 2398 against You.

 9:9 “To the Lord 136 our God 430 [belong] compassion 7356 and forgiveness 5547, for we have rebelled 4775 against Him;

 9:10 nor 3808 have we obeyed 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, to walk 1980 in His teachings 8451 which 834 He set 5414 before 6440 us through 3027 His servants 5650 the prophets 5030.

 9:11 “Indeed all 3605 Israel 3478 has transgressed 5674a Your law 8451 and turned 5493 aside 5493, not obeying 8085 Your voice 6963; so the curse 423 has been poured 5413 out on us, along with the oath 7621 which 834 is written 3789 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of God 430, for we have sinned 2398 against Him.

 9:12 “Thus He has confirmed 6965 His words 1697 which 834 He had spoken 1696 against 5921 us and against 5921 our rulers 8199 who 834 ruled 8199 us, to bring 935 on us great 1419 calamity 7463a; for under 8478 the whole 3605 heaven 8064 there has not been done 6213a [anything] like what 3512c was done 6213a to Jerusalem 3389.

 9:13 “As it is written 3789 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872, all 3605 this 2088 calamity 7463a has come 935 on us; yet we have not sought 2470b the favor 2470b 6440 of the LORD 3068 our God 430 by turning 7725 from our iniquity 5771 and giving 7919a attention 7919a to Your truth 571.

 9:14 “Therefore the LORD 3068 has kept 8245 the calamity 7463a in store 8245 and brought 935 it on us; for the LORD 3068 our God 430 is righteous 6662 with respect 5921 to all 3605 His deeds 4639 which 834 He has done 6213a, but we have not obeyed 8085 His voice 6963.

 9:15 ¶ “And now 6258, O Lord 136 our God 430, who 834 have brought 3318 Your people 5971a out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and have made 6213a a name 8034 for Yourself, as it is this 2088 day 3117—we have sinned 2398, we have been 7561 wicked 7561.

 9:16 “O Lord 136, in accordance with all 3605 Your righteous 6666 acts 6666, let now 4994 Your anger 639 and Your wrath 2534 turn 7725 away 7725 from Your city 5892b Jerusalem 3389, Your holy 6944 mountain 2022; for because 3588 of our sins 2399 and the iniquities 5771 of our fathers 1, Jerusalem 3389 and Your people 5971a [have become] a reproach 2781 to all 3605 those around 5439 us.

 9:17 “So now 6258, our God 430, listen 8085 to the prayer 8605 of Your servant 5650 and to his supplications 8469, and for Your sake 4616, O Lord 136, let Your face 6440 shine 215 on Your desolate 8076 sanctuary 4720.

 9:18 “O my God 430, incline 5186 Your ear 241 and hear 8085! Open 6491b Your eyes 5869 and see 7200 our desolations 8074 and the city 5892b which 834 is called 7121 by Your name 8034; for we are not presenting 5307 our supplications 8469 before 6440 You on account 5921 of any merits 6666 of our own, but on account 5921 of Your great 7227a compassion 7356.

 9:19 “O Lord 136, hear 8085! O Lord 136, forgive 5545! O Lord 136, listen 7181 and take 6213a action 6213a! For Your own sake 4616, O my God 430, do not delay 309, because 3588 Your city 5892b and Your people 5971a are called 7121 by Your name 8034.”

 9:20 ¶ Now while 5750 I was speaking 1696 and praying 6419, and confessing 3034 my sin 2403b and the sin 2403b of my people 5971a Israel 3478, and presenting 5307 my supplication 8467 before 6440 the LORD 3068 my God 430 in behalf 5921 of the holy 6944 mountain 2022 of my God 430,

 9:21 while 5750 I was still 5750 speaking 1696 in prayer 8605, then the man 376 Gabriel 1403, whom 834 I had seen 7200 in the vision 2377 previously 8462, came 5060 to me in [my] extreme 3286 weariness 3288 about the time 6256 of the evening 6153 offering 4503.

 9:22 He gave 995 [me] instruction 995 and talked 1696 with me and said 559, “O Daniel 1840, I have now 6258 come 3318 forth 3318 to give 7919a you insight 7919a with understanding 998.

 9:23 “At the beginning 8462 of your supplications 8469 the command 1697 was issued 3318, and I have come 935 to tell 5046 [you], for you are highly 2536b esteemed 2536b; so give 995 heed 995 to the message 1697 and gain 995 understanding 995 of the vision 4758.

 9:24 ¶ “Seventy 7657 weeks 7620 have been decreed 2852 for your people 5971a and your holy 6944 city 5892b, to finish 3615 the transgression 6588, to make 8552 an end 8552 of sin 2403b, to make 3722a atonement 3722a for iniquity 5771, to bring 935 in everlasting 5769 righteousness 6664, to seal 2856 up vision 2377 and prophecy 5030 and to anoint 4886 the most 6944 holy 6944 [place].

 9:25 “So you are to know 3045 and discern 7919a [that] from the issuing 4161 of a decree 1697 to restore 7725 and rebuild 1129 Jerusalem 3389 until 5704 Messiah 4899 the Prince 5057 [there will be] seven 7655 weeks 7620 and sixty-two 8346 8147 weeks 7620; it will be built 1129 again 7725, with plaza 7339 and moat 2742c, even in times 6256 of distress 6695a.

 9:26 “Then after 310 the sixty-two 8346 8147 weeks 7620 the Messiah 4899 will be cut 3772 off 3772 and have 369 nothing 369, and the people 5971a of the prince 5057 who is to come 935 will destroy 7843 the city 5892b and the sanctuary 6944. And its end 7093 [will come] with a flood 7858; even to the end 7093 there will be war 4421; desolations 8074 are determined 2782.

 9:27 “And he will make 1396 a firm 1396 covenant 1285 with the many 7227a for one 259 week 7620, but in the middle 2677 of the week 7620 he will put 7673a a stop 7673a to sacrifice 2077 and grain offering 4503; and on the wing 3671 of abominations 8251 [will come] one who makes 8074 desolate 8074, even until 5704 a complete 3617 destruction 3617, one that is decreed 2782, is poured 5413 out on the one who makes 8074 desolate 8074.”
