Daniel 9

9 In the year of one to Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, from the seed of Madai, who had been made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,2 in the year of one to his reigning, I, Daniel, perceived in the scrolls the number of years that was the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet for the filling of the desolations of Jerusalem, seventy years.

3 And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek, him by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.4 And I prayed to Yahweh my God, and I confessed and said, “Oh Lord, the great and feared God, the one keeping covenant and covenant faithfulness to the ones loving him and to the keepers of his commandments,5 we have sinned and committed iniquity and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning away from your commandments and your judgments.6 And we have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all of the people of the land.7 To you, Lord, is righteousness, but to us, is shame of faces as this day, to a man of Judah and to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to all of Israel, the near and the far in all of the lands where you have driven them there for their transgression that they transgressed against you.8 Yahweh, to us, is shame of faces, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.9 To the Lord our God, may there be compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him,10 and we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk in his laws that he gave to our faces by the hand of his servants the prophets.11 And all of Israel has transgressed your law and has turned away, not listening to your voice. And the oath has been poured out on us, and the curse, that is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.12 And he has made stand his word that he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, to bring great trouble upon us that has not been done under all of the heavens like what has been done to Jerusalem.13 Like what is written in the law of Moses, all of this trouble has come upon us, but we have not entreated the face of Yahweh our God, to return from our iniquities and pay attention to your truth.14 And Yahweh watched over the trouble and brought it upon us, for Yahweh our God, is righteous in all of his deeds that he has done, for we have not listened to his voice.15 And now, Lord our God, who brought out your people from the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made a name for yourself as this day, we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.16 Lord, according to all of your righteousnesses, may your nose and your heat please turn back from your city, Jerusalem, the mountain of your holiness. For because of our sins and because of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people, are for a reproach to all of, the ones around us.17 And now, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his supplications, and make your face shine on your desolate sanctuary, for the sake of the Lord.18 Incline your ear, my God, and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations and the city upon which your name is called. For we are not making our supplications fall to your face because of our righteousnesses but because of your great mercies.19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay attention and act! For your sake, my God, may you not delay, for your name is called upon your city and upon your people.”

20 And I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my supplication fall to the face of Yahweh my God for the mountain of the holiness of my God,21 and I was still speaking in prayer, and the man Gabriel whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning was flying in swiftness, reaching to me at the time of the offering of the evening.22 And he made me understand and he spoke with me and said, “Daniel, I have now come forth to make you wise, for understanding.23 At the beginning of your supplications, a word came forth, and I, I have come to declare, it, for you, are desirablenesses. So understand the word and understand the appearance.

24 Seventy sevens have been determined for your people and for the city of your holiness, to finish transgression and to seal up sins and to cover iniquity and to bring in righteousness of eternities and to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Holy of Holies.25 And may you know and understand, from the going forth of the word to return and to build Jerusalem until an anointed one, a ruler, there will be seven sevens and sixty and two sevens. It will return and it will be built, with a square and a trench, but in distress of times.26 And after the sixty and two sevens, the anointed one will be cut off and nothing, will be to him. And the city and the sanctuary, the people of the coming ruler will destroy. And its end, will be with a flood, and war, will be until the end. Desolations are determined.27 And he will strengthen a covenant with many, for one seven. And, in the middle of the seven, he will make the sacrifice and the offering cease. And on the wing of abominations, will be something making desolate, even until the completion, and the thing having been determined will be poured out upon the one desolating.”
