ἔτει ἑνὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἐγὼ Δανιηλ συνῆκα ἐν ταῖς βύβλοις τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἐτῶν ὃς ἐγενήθη λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν τὸν προφήτην εἰς συμπλήρωσιν ἐρημώσεως Ιερουσαλημ ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη
In the first year of his kingdom, I, Daniel, understood in the books the number of the years, which was a word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, for the completion of the desolation of Jerusalem, seventy years.
ἔδωκα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι προσευχὴν καὶ δεήσεις ἐν νηστείαις καὶ σάκκῳ καὶ σποδῷ
And I set my face toward the Lord God to seek prayer and supplications with fastings and sackcloth and ashes
προσηυξάμην πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν μου καὶ ἐξωμολογησάμην καὶ εἶπα κύριε ὁ θεὸς ὁ μέγας καὶ θαυμαστὸς ὁ φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην σου καὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῖς ἀγαπῶσίν σε καὶ τοῖς φυλάσσουσιν τὰς ἐντολάς σου
And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession and said: Lord, the great and wonderful God, the one keeping your covenant and mercy to those who love you and to those who keep your commandments
We have sinned, we have acted unjustly, we have acted lawlessly, and we have turned aside and departed from your commandments and from your judgments
οὐκ εἰσηκούσαμεν τῶν δούλων σου τῶν προφητῶν οἳ ἐλάλουν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου πρὸς τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ ἄρχοντας ἡμῶν καὶ πατέρας ἡμῶν καὶ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς
And we have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings and our rulers and our fathers and to all the people of the land.
κύριε ἡ δικαιοσύνη καὶ ἡμῖν ἡ αἰσχύνη τοῦ προσώπου ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἀνδρὶ Ιουδα καὶ τοῖς ἐνοικοῦσιν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ παντὶ Ισραηλ τοῖς ἐγγὺς καὶ τοῖς μακρὰν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ οὗ διέσπειρας αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐν ἀθεσίᾳ αὐτῶν ᾗ ἠθέτησαν ἐν σοί
To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, and to us shame of face, as it is this day, to the man of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel, those near and those far away, in all the land where you scattered them there because of their unfaithfulness by which they acted unfaithfully against you
ἡμῖν ἡ αἰσχύνη τοῦ προσώπου καὶ τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν οἵτινες ἡμάρτομέν σοι
O Lord, to us belongs the shame of face, and to our kings and to our rulers and to our fathers, who have sinned against you
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, because we have departed
οὐκ εἰσηκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν πορεύεσθαι ἐν τοῖς νόμοις αὐτοῦ οἷς ἔδωκεν κατὰ πρόσωπον ἡμῶν ἐν χερσὶν τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν
and we did not listen to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he gave before our face by the hand of his servants the prophets
πᾶς Ισραηλ παρέβησαν τὸν νόμον σου καὶ ἐξέκλιναν τοῦ μὴ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς σου καὶ ἐπῆλθεν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς ἡ κατάρα καὶ ὁ ὅρκος ὁ γεγραμμένος ἐν νόμῳ Μωυσέως δούλου τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν αὐτῷ
And all Israel transgressed your law and turned aside so as not to hear your voice, and the curse and the oath that are written in the law of Moses the servant of God came upon us, because we sinned against him.
ἔστησεν τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ οὓς ἐλάλησεν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κριτὰς ἡμῶν οἳ ἔκρινον ἡμᾶς ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς κακὰ μεγάλα οἷα οὐ γέγονεν ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατὰ τὰ γενόμενα ἐν Ιερουσαλημ
And he confirmed his words which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, to bring upon us great evils, such as have not happened under all heaven according to the things that have happened in Jerusalem.
γέγραπται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ πάντα τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα ἦλθεν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ οὐκ ἐδεήθημεν τοῦ προσώπου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀποστρέψαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδικιῶν ἡμῶν καὶ τοῦ συνιέναι ἐν πάσῃ ἀληθείᾳ σου
As it is written in the law of Moses, all these evils have come upon us, and we did not entreat the face of the Lord our God, to turn away from our iniquities and to understand all your truth.
ἐγρηγόρησεν κύριος καὶ ἐπήγαγεν αὐτὰ ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς ὅτι δίκαιος κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ποίησιν αὐτοῦ ἣν ἐποίησεν καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ
And the Lord watched and brought them upon us, because the Lord our God is righteous in all his work that he did, and we did not listen to his voice.
νῦν κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ὃς ἐξήγαγες τὸν λαόν σου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ὄνομα ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἡμάρτομεν ἠνομήσαμεν
And now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made for yourself a name, as this day, we have sinned, we have acted lawlessly.
ἐν πάσῃ ἐλεημοσύνῃ σου ἀποστραφήτω δὴ ὁ θυμός σου καὶ ἡ ὀργή σου ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεώς σου Ιερουσαλημ ὄρους ἁγίου σου ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὁ λαός σου εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐγένετο ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς περικύκλῳ ἡμῶν
Lord, in all your mercy let your wrath and your anger now turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain, because we have sinned, and in our iniquities, and those of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach among all who are round about us.
νῦν εἰσάκουσον κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τῆς προσευχῆς τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τῶν δεήσεων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὸ ἁγίασμά σου τὸ ἔρημον ἕνεκέν σου κύριε
And now hear, O Lord our God, the prayer of your servant and his supplications, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary, which is desolate, for your sake, O Lord
ὁ θεός μου τὸ οὖς σου καὶ ἄκουσον ἄνοιξον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ ἰδὲ τὸν ἀφανισμὸν ἡμῶν καὶ τῆς πόλεώς σου ἐφ᾿ ἧς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὅτι οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς δικαιοσύναις ἡμῶν ἡμεῖς ῥιπτοῦμεν τὸν οἰκτιρμὸν ἡμῶν ἐνώπιόν σου ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου τοὺς πολλούς
Incline your ear, O my God, and hear; open your eyes and see our destruction and that of your city, upon which your name has been called upon it; for not because of our righteousness do we cast down our compassion before you, but because of your many compassions.
εἰσάκουσον κύριε ἱλάσθητι κύριε πρόσχες καὶ ποίησον μὴ χρονίσῃς ἕνεκέν σου ὁ θεός μου ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικέκληται ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου
Lord, hear; Lord, be propitious; Lord, give heed and do, do not delay, for your sake, my God, because your name has been called upon your city and upon your people.
ἔτι ἐμοῦ λαλοῦντος καὶ προσευχομένου καὶ ἐξαγορεύοντος τὰς ἁμαρτίας μου καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τοῦ λαοῦ μου Ισραηλ καὶ ῥιπτοῦντος τὸν ἔλεόν μου ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ μου περὶ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ ἁγίου τοῦ θεοῦ μου
And while I was still speaking and praying and confessing my sins and the sins of my people Israel and casting down my supplication before the Lord my God concerning the mountain of the holy one of my God
ἔτι ἐμοῦ λαλοῦντος ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἀνὴρ Γαβριηλ ὃν εἶδον ἐν τῇ ὁράσει ἐν τῇ ἀρχῇ πετόμενος καὶ ἥψατό μου ὡσεὶ ὥραν θυσίας ἑσπερινῆς
and while I was still speaking in the prayer, behold, the man Gabriel, whom I saw in the vision at the beginning, flying, and he touched me at about the time of the evening sacrifice
And he instructed me and spoke with me and said, Daniel, now I have come out to make you understand understanding.
ἀρχῇ τῆς δεήσεώς σου ἐξῆλθεν λόγος καὶ ἐγὼ ἦλθον τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαί σοι ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἐπιθυμιῶν σὺ εἶ καὶ ἐννοήθητι ἐν τῷ ῥήματι καὶ σύνες ἐν τῇ ὀπτασίᾳ
At the beginning of your supplication a word went out, and I came to tell you, because you are a man of desires; and understand the word and discern in the vision.
ἑβδομάδες συνετμήθησαν ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἁγίαν σου τοῦ συντελεσθῆναι ἁμαρτίαν καὶ τοῦ σφραγίσαι ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἀπαλεῖψαι τὰς ἀνομίας καὶ τοῦ ἐξιλάσασθαι ἀδικίας καὶ τοῦ ἀγαγεῖν δικαιοσύνην αἰώνιον καὶ τοῦ σφραγίσαι ὅρασιν καὶ προφήτην καὶ τοῦ χρῖσαι ἅγιον ἁγίων
Seventy weeks have been cut short upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish sin and to seal sins and to wipe away lawlessness and to make atonement for injustices and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and prophet and to anoint the holy of holies
γνώσῃ καὶ συνήσεις ἀπὸ ἐξόδου λόγου τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι καὶ τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι Ιερουσαλημ ἕως χριστοῦ ἡγουμένου ἑβδομάδες ἑπτὰ καὶ ἑβδομάδες ἑξήκοντα δύο καὶ ἐπιστρέψει καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πλατεῖα καὶ τεῖχος καὶ ἐκκενωθήσονται οἱ καιροί
And you shall know and understand: from the going out of a word for the answering and for the building of Jerusalem, until an anointed leader, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and it shall return and be built, square and wall, and the times shall be emptied.
μετὰ τὰς ἑβδομάδας τὰς ἑξήκοντα δύο ἐξολεθρευθήσεται χρῖσμα καὶ κρίμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸ ἅγιον διαφθερεῖ σὺν τῷ ἡγουμένῳ τῷ ἐρχομένῳ καὶ ἐκκοπήσονται ἐν κατακλυσμῷ καὶ ἕως τέλους πολέμου συντετμημένου τάξει ἀφανισμοῖς
And after the sixty-two weeks an anointed one shall be cut off, and there is no judgment in him; and the city and the holy place he shall destroy together with the ruler who is coming, and they shall be cut off in a flood, and until the end of war, it is determined, with destructions.
δυναμώσει διαθήκην πολλοῖς ἑβδομὰς μία καὶ ἐν τῷ ἡμίσει τῆς ἑβδομάδος ἀρθήσεταί μου θυσία καὶ σπονδή καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἱερὸν βδέλυγμα τῶν ἐρημώσεων καὶ ἕως συντελείας καιροῦ συντέλεια δοθήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν ἐρήμωσιν
And he will make a covenant strong with many, one week, and in the half of the week my sacrifice and drink offering will be taken away, and upon the sanctuary the abomination of desolations, and until the completion of time an end will be given upon the desolation
