1 In the first 259 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the son 1121 of Ahasuerus 325, of the seed 2233 of the Medes 4074, which was made king 4427 over the realm 4438 of the Chaldeans 3778;
2 In the first 259 year 8141 of his reign 4427 I Daniel 1840 understood 995 by books 5612 the number 4557 of the years 8141, whereof the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030, that he would accomplish 4390 seventy 7657 years 8141 in the desolations 2723 of Jerusalem 3389.
3 And I set 5414 my face 6440 unto the Lord 136 God 430, to seek 1245 by prayer 8605 and supplications 8469, with fasting 6685, and sackcloth 8242, and ashes 665:
4 And I prayed 6419 unto the LORD 3068 my God 430, and made my confession 3034, and said 559, O 577 Lord 136, the great 1419 and dreadful 3372 God 410, keeping 8104 the covenant 1285 and mercy 2617 to them that love 157 him, and to them that keep 8104 his commandments 4687;
5 We have sinned 2398, and have committed iniquity 5753, and have done wickedly 7561, and have rebelled 4775, even by departing 5493 from thy precepts 4687 and from thy judgments 4941:
6 Neither have we hearkened 8085 unto thy servants 5650 the prophets 5030, which spake 1696 in thy name 8034 to our kings 4428, our princes 8269, and our fathers 1, and to all the people 5971 of the land 776.
7 O Lord 136, righteousness 6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion 1322 of faces 6440, as at this day 3117; to the men 376 of Judah 3063, and to the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389, and unto all Israel 3478, that are near 7138, and that are far off 7350, through all the countries 776 whither thou hast driven 5080 them, because of their trespass 4604 that they have trespassed 4603 against thee.
8 O Lord 136, to us belongeth confusion 1322 of face 6440, to our kings 4428, to our princes 8269, and to our fathers 1, because we have sinned 2398 against thee.
9 To the Lord 136 our God 430 belong mercies 7356 and forgivenesses 5547, though we have rebelled 4775 against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, to walk 3212 in his laws 8451, which he set 5414 before 6440 us by 3027 his servants 5650 the prophets 5030.
11 Yea, all Israel 3478 have transgressed 5674 thy law 8451, even by departing 5493, that they might not obey 8085 thy voice 6963; therefore the curse 423 is poured 5413 upon us, and the oath 7621 that is written 3789 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of God 430, because we have sinned 2398 against him.
12 And he hath confirmed 6965 his words 1697, which he spake 1696 against us, and against our judges 8199 that judged 8199 us, by bringing 935 upon us a great 1419 evil 7451: for under the whole heaven 8064 hath not been done 6213 as hath been done 6213 upon Jerusalem 3389.
13 As it is written 3789 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872, all this evil 7451 is come 935 upon us: yet made we not our prayer 2470 before 6440 the LORD 3068 our God 430, that we might turn 7725 from our iniquities 5771, and understand 7919 thy truth 571.
14 Therefore hath the LORD 3068 watched 8245 upon the evil 7451, and brought 935 it upon us: for the LORD 3068 our God 430 is righteous 6662 in all his works 4639 which he doeth 6213: for we obeyed 8085 not his voice 6963.
15 And now, O Lord 136 our God 430, that hast brought 3318 0 thy people 5971 forth 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with a mighty 2389 hand 3027, and hast gotten 6213 thee renown 8034, as at this day 3117; we have sinned 2398, we have done wickedly 7561.
16 O Lord 136, according to all thy righteousness 6666, I beseech thee, let thine anger 639 and thy fury 2534 be turned away 7725 from thy city 5892 Jerusalem 3389, thy holy 6944 mountain 2022: because for our sins 2399, and for the iniquities 5771 of our fathers 1, Jerusalem 3389 and thy people 5971 are become a reproach 2781 to all that are about 5439 us.
17 Now therefore, O our God 430, hear 8085 the prayer 8605 of thy servant 5650, and his supplications 8469, and cause thy face 6440 to shine 215 upon thy sanctuary 4720 that is desolate 8076, for the Lord's 136 sake.
18 O my God 430, incline 5186 thine ear 241, and hear 8085; open 6491 thine eyes 5869, and behold 7200 our desolations 8074, and the city 5892 which is called 7121 by thy name 8034: for we do not present 5307 our supplications 8469 before 6440 thee for our righteousnesses 6666, but for thy great 7227 mercies 7356.
19 O Lord 136, hear 8085; O Lord 136, forgive 5545; O Lord 136, hearken 7181 and do 6213; defer 309 not 408, for thine own sake, O my God 430: for thy city 5892 and thy people 5971 are called 7121 by thy name 8034.
20 And whiles I was speaking 1696, and praying 6419, and confessing 3034 my sin 2403 and the sin 2403 of my people 5971 Israel 3478, and presenting 5307 my supplication 8467 before 6440 the LORD 3068 my God 430 for the holy 6944 mountain 2022 of my God 430;
21 Yea, whiles I was speaking 1696 in prayer 8605, even the man 376 Gabriel 1403, whom I had seen 7200 in the vision 2377 at the beginning 8462, being caused to fly 3286 swiftly 3288, touched 5060 me about the time 6256 of the evening 6153 oblation 4503.
22 And he informed 995 me, and talked 1696 with me, and said 559, O Daniel 1840, I am now come forth 3318 to give thee skill 7919 and understanding 998.
23 At the beginning 8462 of thy supplications 8469 the commandment 1697 came forth 3318, and I am come 935 to shew 5046 thee; for thou art greatly beloved 2532: therefore understand 995 the matter 1697, and consider 995 the vision 4758.
24 Seventy 7657 weeks 7620 are determined 2852 upon thy people 5971 and upon thy holy 6944 city 5892, to finish 3607 the transgression 6588, and to make an end 8552 2856 of sins 2403, and to make reconciliation 3722 for iniquity 5771, and to bring in 935 everlasting 5769 righteousness 6664, and to seal up 2856 the vision 2377 and prophecy 5030, and to anoint 4886 the most 6944 Holy 6944.
25 Know 3045 therefore and understand 7919, that from the going forth 4161 of the commandment 1697 to restore 7725 and to build 1129 Jerusalem 3389 unto the Messiah 4899 the Prince 5057 shall be seven 7651 weeks 7620, and threescore 8346 and two 8147 weeks 7620: the street 7339 shall be built 1129 again 7725, and the wall 2742, even in troublous 6695 times 6256.
26 And after 310 threescore 8346 and two 8147 weeks 7620 shall Messiah 4899 be cut off 3772, but not for himself: and the people 5971 of the prince 5057 that shall come 935 shall destroy 7843 the city 5892 and the sanctuary 6944; and the end 7093 thereof shall be with a flood 7858, and unto the end 7093 of the war 4421 desolations 8074 are determined 2782.
27 And he shall confirm 1396 the covenant 1285 with many 7227 for one 259 week 7620: and in the midst 2677 of the week 7620 he shall cause the sacrifice 2077 and the oblation 4503 to cease 7673, and for the overspreading 3671 of abominations 8251 he shall make it desolate 8074, even until the consummation 3617, and that determined 2782 shall be poured 5413 upon the desolate 8074.
