OET (OET-RV) We ignored the challenges from your servants the prophets who spoke to our kings, our generals, and our ancestors on your behalf, and to all the people of the land.

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 9:4–6

Daniel confessed to God the sin of his people, the people of Israel.

9:6a

We have not listened to Your servants the prophets,

We have not listened to Your servants the prophets: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as have not listened in this context indicates that the people of Israel refused to listen to God’s message. They might have heard the message, but they did not pay it any attention or follow it. Other ways to translate this include:

We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets (NLT)

We have ignored the message your servants the prophets spoke (CEV)

9:6c

and to all the people of the land.

9:6b-c

to our kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land: These are the groups that the prophets addressed. The pronoun our refers to the people of Israel.

9:6b

who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, and fathers,

who spoke in Your name: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as in Your name means “with your authority.” God told the prophets what to say, and they told the people that the message was from God. Other ways to translate this include:

who spoke on your authority (NLT)

who spoke for you (NCV)

who gave your message

General Comment on 9:6a-b

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of 9:6a and 9:6b and translate them in chronological order. For example:

6bYour servants the prophets spoke in your name to our kings and other rulers. They spoke to our ancestors, and, yes, to all the people of Israel. 6aBut we(excl) did not pay/give them any attention.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לֹ֤א שָׁמַ֨עְנוּ֙ אֶל עֲבָדֶ֣י⁠ךָ הַ⁠נְּבִיאִ֔ים

and=not listened to/towards your=servants the,prophets

Daniel is using we have not listened to as a common expression of the culture to mean “we have not obeyed.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And we have not obeyed your servants the prophets]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲשֶׁ֤ר דִּבְּרוּ֙ בְּ⁠שִׁמְ⁠ךָ֔

which/who spoke in,name_of,your

Here, your name represents “your authority.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [who spoke by your authority]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲבֹתֵ֑י⁠נוּ

and,ancestors_of,our

Daniel is speaking as if all of the earlier generations of the Israelites were their fathers. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and our forefathers]
