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 9:7–10

Daniel recognized that the shame and disgrace felt by the people of Israel was due to their disobedience to God.

9:7a

To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness,

¶ “Lord, you are righteous/good,
¶ “Our Master, you always act correctly/justly.

To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness is literally “to you Lord righteousness.” This indicates that God is characterized by righteousness. He always acts righteously. That is, he always acts justly. Other ways to translate this include:

To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness (ESV)

Saving justice, Lord, is yours (NJB)

You are our righteous Lord

9:7b

but this day we are covered with shame—

but today we^(excl) feel disgrace/shame.
But today we are disgraced.

but this day we are covered with shame: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as we are covered with shame is literally “to us shame of face.” This is an idiom that refers to being shamed or disgraced in front of others. Translate this in a way that is natural in your language. Other ways that English versions translate this include:

we have only the look of shame we wear today (NJB)

But still we suffer public disgrace (CEV)

but we are humiliated this day (NET)

9:7c

the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far,

We,^(excl) the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, near and far,
Whether we are at home or abroad, we the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah and Israel, are ashamed.

the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far: This verse part explains or defines the word “we” in the previous verse part. In some languages it may be natural to make this clear by beginning a new sentence. For example:

This includes all of us, both far and near—the people of Judah, Jerusalem, and Israel (CEV)

This is true of all of us, including the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, scattered near and far (NLT)

We ^(excl) all feel shame, the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, whether we are at home or abroad

At the time when Daniel was praying, many of the people of Israel had been deported to Assyria or Babylon. They were not all living in Israel. So in your translation, you should not indicate that the people of Israel, Judah, or Jerusalem were actually living there. Some were, but many were not.

near and far: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as near and far indicates that some of the people of Judah, Jerusalem, and Israel were living at home in their own land and that some were living far away. Other ways to translate this phrase include:

in countries near and far (GW)

both far and near (CEV)

at home and abroad

9:7d

in all the countries to which You have driven us

in all the foreign/different countries where you^(sing) have scattered us^(excl), we feel shame.
You have made us live abroad in many different lands

in all the countries to which You have driven us: This phrase describes the people mentioned in 9:7c who were “far” from Israel. They were living in various other countries because God had caused them to be scattered there. Other ways to translate this include:

whom you scattered among many nations (NCV)

those you sent away to foreign lands

9:7e

because of our unfaithfulness to You.

You scattered us because we acted toward you with treachery.
because we were unfaithful/disloyal to you.

because of our unfaithfulness to You: This clause explains the reason why God had scattered the people of Israel in other lands. The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as our unfaithfulness to You is more literally “the unfaithfulness/treachery with which they acted unfaithfully/treacherously against you.” This repetition of the root word for “unfaithful” emphasizes the horror of what the people had done. They had acted like a woman who is unfaithful to her husband or a man who betrays his king. They had not kept the covenant that God had made with them, and they had worshiped other gods. By doing this they had broken their relationship with him. Other ways to translate this include:

because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you (NET)

because they were not loyal to you (NCV)

because they broke faith with you
