Daniel 第9章
Daniel’s Prayer for His People
19:1 ch. 11:1In the first year of 9:1 See ch. 5:31Darius the son of Ahasuerus, by descent a 9:1 [ch. 8:20] Mede, who was made king over the realm of the 9:1 ch. 5:30Chaldeans—
2in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to 9:2 [Ezra 1:1; Jer. 25:12]the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.
3Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by 9:3 ver. 17, 18, 23; [Neh. 1:4]prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4I prayed to the Lord my God and 9:4 ver. 20; [Ezra 10:1; Neh. 1:6] made confession, saying, 9:4 Neh. 1:5; 9:32“O Lord, the 9:4 Neh. 1:5; 9:32great and awesome God, who 9:4 Deut. 7:9keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,
59:5 ver. 15we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly 9:5 Lam. 3:42and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules.
69:6 2 Chr. 36:15, 16We have not listened to 9:6 Ezra 9:11; Zech. 1:6your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to 9:6 Ezra 9:7; Neh. 9:34our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7To you, 9:7 [ver. 14; Lam. 1:18] O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, 9:7 [Esth. 9:20] those who are near and 9:7 [Esth. 9:20] those who are far away, in 9:7 See Jer. 8:3all the lands to which you have driven them, because of 9:7 Lev. 26:40the treachery that they have committed against you.
8To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because 9:8 [See ver. 5above]we have sinned against you.
99:9 Neh. 9:17; Ps. 86:15To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him
109:10 [See ver. 6above] and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by 9:10 [See ver. 6above]his servants the prophets.
119:11 See Isa. 1:4-6All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, 9:11 [Jer. 40:3; 44:23] refusing to obey your voice. 9:11 Jer. 44:22And the curse and oath 9:11 See Lev. 26:14-45; Deut. 28:15-68that are written in the Law of 9:11 1 Chr. 6:49; 2 Chr. 24:9; Neh. 10:29Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because 9:11 [See ver. 5above]we have sinned against him.
12He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against 9:12 [Ps. 82:2, 3] our rulers who ruled us,9:12 Or our judges who judged us by 9:12 Jer. 39:16bringing upon us a great calamity. 9:12 Ezek. 5:9; [Lam. 1:12]For under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem.
139:13 [See ver. 11above] As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, 9:13 Hos. 7:10turning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth.
16“O Lord, 9:16 Ps. 31:1; 71:2according to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, 9:16 ver. 20; ch. 11:45; Jer. 31:23; Zech. 8:3your holy hill, 9:16 Lam. 1:5because for our sins, and for 9:16 [Ex. 20:5] the iniquities of our fathers, 9:16 Lam. 2:15, 16Jerusalem and your people have become 9:16 Ps. 44:13; 79:4; Ezek. 36:4; Mic. 6:16a byword among all who are around us.
17Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord,9:17 Hebrew for the Lord’s sake9:17 Num. 6:25make your face to shine upon 9:17 Lam. 5:18your sanctuary, which is desolate.
189:18 2 Kgs. 19:16; Isa. 37:17O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see 9:18 ver. 26; See ver. 27our desolations, and 9:18 Jer. 25:29the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy.
Gabriel Brings an Answer
209:20 Isa. 65:24While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for 9:20 See ver. 16the holy hill of my God,
21while I was speaking in prayer, the man 9:21 See ch. 8:16Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, 9:21 See ch. 8:18came to me in swift flight at 9:21 Ex. 29:39; [1 Kgs. 18:36; Ezra 9:4, 5]the time of the evening sacrifice.
229:22 [ch. 8:16] He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you 9:22 [ch. 1:4, 17]insight and understanding.
239:23 [ver. 20] At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, 9:23 [ch. 10:12, 14] and I have come to tell it to you, for 9:23 ch. 10:11, 19you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word 9:23 [Matt. 24:15; Mark 13:14]and understand the vision.

259:25 [ver. 23] Know therefore and understand that 9:25 [2 Chr. 36:23; Ezra 1:3; 4:24; 6:15; Neh. 6:15] from the going out of the word to restore and 9:25 [Ps. 51:18] build Jerusalem to the coming of an 9:25 John 1:41anointed one, a 9:25 Isa. 55:4prince, there shall be seven weeks. And for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again9:25 Or there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again with squares and moat, 9:25 See Neh. 4:7, 8, 16-18but in a troubled time.
26And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall 9:26 Isa. 53:8; [Mark 9:12; Luke 24:26] be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come 9:26 [Matt. 24:2; Mark 13:2; Luke 19:43, 44] shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. 9:26 Nah. 1:8; [ch. 11:10, 22, 26, 40] Its9:26 Or His end shall come with a flood, 9:26 Matt. 24:6, 14and to the end there shall be war. 9:26 ver. 18; See ver. 27Desolations are decreed.
27And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,9:27 Or seven; twice in this verse and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. 9:27 Matt. 24:15; Mark 13:14; [Luke 21:20] And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until 9:27 Isa. 10:23the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
