9:18 OSHB variant note: פקח/ה: (x-qere) ’פְּקַ֣ח’: lemma_6491 morph_HVqv2ms id_27wcG פְּקַ֣ח

OET (OET-RV) My god, turn your ear and listen. Open your eyes and see our terrible state here in exile, and the state of the city that is called by your name. We aren’t asking all this because we’re good enough to deserve it, but because of your extensive mercy.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–27: Daniel asked God to help Jerusalem and received a message from Gabriel concerning seventy weeks

The vision recorded in this chapter occurred during the first year of the reign of Darius (538 B.C.). Thirteen years had therefore passed since Daniel received the vision described in chapter 8. Daniel was now more than eighty years old.

Daniel had read in the book of Jeremiah that God’s people would remain in exile and serve the king of Babylon for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11). During that time the city of Jerusalem would remain in ruins. However, God had promised to bring his people back to the land of Judah after the seventy years were over (Jeremiah 29:10). Now Daniel realized that the seventy-year period was almost at an end. He prayed for his people and for Jerusalem. In response, God sent the angel Gabriel to reveal what would happen in the future.

Paragraph 9:17–19

Daniel begged God to help Jerusalem. He recognized that the people of Israel did not deserve God’s help, but he asked for forgiveness on the ground of God’s own nature and mercy.

9:18a

Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear;

Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear: The two requests Incline Your ear and hear have the same meaning. The repetition is for emphasis. In some languages it may be natural to combine them into one, perhaps supplying an object, as the GNT has done:

Listen to us, O God (GNT)

9:18b

open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name.

open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name: The Hebrew more literally says “Open your eyes and look at our desolation and the city that bears your name” (NRSV). The two phrases “our desolation” and the city that bears Your name together refer to the desolation of the city of Jerusalem. The BSB has therefore combined the two phrases into one, the desolation of the city that bears Your name. Other ways to translate this include:

Look down and see the ruins of the city that bears your Name.

Look and see how the city that bears your Name lies desolate/ruined!

open Your eyes and see: The two expressions open Your eyes and see together are a request to God to pay attention to the suffering of Jerusalem. Daniel knew that God could already see the city, but he wanted him to pay attention to it. In some languages it may be natural to use only one verb. For example:

please look at

please consider

the desolation of the city: This phrase refers to the ruins of the city of Jerusalem. In some languages it may be natural to translate it using a verb form. For example:

the city that has been ruined

the city that our enemies have devastated

that bears Your name: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as that bears Your name is literally “over which your name is called.” This implies that God is the owner of Jerusalem. See also the note on 2 Samuel 12:28d-e.

9:18c

For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts,

For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts: Daniel did not expect God to listen to his prayer because the people of Israel were righteous. As he had just confessed, they were not. So their good deeds or good lives were not the reason why he hoped that God would listen to his requests. Other ways to translate this include:

For it is not because of our own righteous deeds that we are praying to you (NET)

We do not present our supplication before you on the ground of our righteousness (NRSV)

9:18d

but because of Your great compassion.

but because of Your great compassion: This is a short way of saying “but we make these requests of you because of your great compassion.” Daniel implied that he hoped that God would answer his requests because God was compassionate. Other ways to translate this include:

but because your compassion is abundant (NET)

but on the ground of your great mercies (NRSV)

General Comment on 9:18c-d

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of 9:18d and c, putting the positive before the negative. For example:

It is because you are very merciful that we ask this, not because we are righteous

We ask this because you are compassionate. We do not ask it because we are righteous.

9:18c-d

(reordered) It is because you are very merciful that we ask these things. It is not because we think that we are good.

OET (OET-RV) My god, turn your ear and listen. Open your eyes and see our terrible state here in exile, and the state of the city that is called by your name. We aren’t asking all this because we’re good enough to deserve it, but because of your extensive mercy.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.OET logo mark
