Daniel 9

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 It was the first year that Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the race of the Medes, reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans;	1 ܒܫܢܬ ܚܕܐ ܕܕܪܝܘܫ ܒܪ ܐܚܫܝܪܫ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܡܕ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܟܠܕ̈ܝܐ
2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, tried to understand in the Scriptures the counting of the years of which the LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah: that for the ruins of Jerusalem seventy years must be fulfilled.	2 ܒܫܢܬ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܝܐܝܠ ܐܬܒܝܢܬ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܒܡܢܝܢ ܫܢܝ̈ܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܕܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܡ̣ܪ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܟܕ ܫܠ̣ܡ ܠܚܘܪܒܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ
3 I turned to the Lord God, pleading in earnest prayer, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.	3 ܐ̇ܪܝܡܬ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܟܫܦܬܐ ܘܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܣܩܐ ܘܒܩܛܡܐ
4 I prayed to the LORD, my God, and confessed, "Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your merciful covenant toward those who love you and observe your commandments!	4 ܘܨ̇ܠܝܬ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܘܐܘܕܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܒܒܥܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܕܚܝܠܐ ܢܛ̇ܪ ܩܝܡܐ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܢܛ̇ܪܝܢ ܦܘܩܕ̈ܢܘܗܝ
5 We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws.	5 ܚܛܝܢ ܘܐܣܟܠܢ ܘܐܪܫܥܢ ܘܡܪܕܢ ܘܣܛܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝܟ ܘܡܢ ܕܝ̈ܢ̣ܝܟ
6 We have not obeyed your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers, and all the people of the land.	6 ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܢ ܠܥܒ̣̈ܕܝܟ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܡܠܠܘ ܒܫܡܟ ܥܠ ܡ̈ܠܟܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ
7 Justice, O Lord, is on your side; we are shamefaced even to this day: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel, near and far, in all the countries to which you have scattered them because of their treachery toward you.	7 ܕܝܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܘܕܝܠܢ ܒܗܬܬ ܐ̈ܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܠܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܩܪܝܒܝܢ ܘܕܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܒܟܘܠ ܐܪ̈ܥܬܐ ܕܒܕܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܬܡܢ ܒܥ̣ܘܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܟ
8 O LORD, we are shamefaced, like our kings, our princes, and our fathers, for having sinned against you.	8 ܡܪܝܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܒܗܬܬ ܐ̈ܦܐ ܠܡ̇ܠܟ̈ܝܢ ܘܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܢ ܘܠܐܒ̈ܗܝܢ ܥܠ ܕܚܛܝܢ ܠܟ
9 But yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness! Yet we rebelled against you	9 ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܘܫܘܒܩܢ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܕܡܪܕܢ ܒܗ
10 and paid no heed to your command, O LORD, our God, to live by the law you gave us through your servants the prophets.	10 ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܢ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܠܡܗ̇ܠܟܘ ܒܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܝܗ̣ܒ ܩܕܡܝܢ ܒܝܕ ܥܒ̣ܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ
11 Because all Israel transgressed your law and went astray, not heeding your voice, the sworn malediction, recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, was poured out over us for our sins.	11 ܘܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܥܒ̣ܪܘ ܥܠ ܢܡܘܣܟ ܘܣܛܘ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܒܩܠܟ ܘܐܝܬܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܘܛ̈ܬܐ ܘܡܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܝܒܢ ܒܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܥܒ̣ܕܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܕܚܛܝܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ
12 You carried out the threats you spoke against us and against those who governed us, by bringing upon us in Jerusalem the greatest calamity that has ever occurred under heaven.	12 ܘܐܩܝܡ ܡܠܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܕܝ̈ܢܝܢ ܕܕܢܘܢ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܥܒܕܬ ܐܟܘܬܗ̇ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܥܒܕܬ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, this calamity came full upon us. As we did not appease the LORD, our God, by turning back from our wickedness and recognizing his constancy,	13 ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܟܘܠܗ̇ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܬܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܨܠܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܕܢܬܘܒ ܡܢ ܥܘ̣ܠܢ ܘܢܣܬܟܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ
14 so the LORD kept watch over the calamity and brought it upon us. You, O LORD, our God, are just in all that you have done, for we did not listen to your voice.	14 ܘܐܥܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ̇ ܥܠܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܕܝܩ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܥ̣ܒܕ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܢ ܒܩܠܗ
15 "Now, O Lord, our God, who led your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and made a name for yourself even to this day, we have sinned, we are guilty.	15 ܡܟܝܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܕܐܦ̣ܩܬ ܠܥܡܟ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܬ ܠܟ ܫܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܚܛܝܢ ܘܐܪܫܥܢ
16 O Lord, in keeping with all your just deeds, let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. On account of our sins and the crimes of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become the reproach of all our neighbors.	16 ܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܗ̇ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܟ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܥܡܢ ܢܗܦܘܟ ܪܘܓܙܟ ܘܚܡܬܟ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܟ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܛܘܪܟ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܚ̈ܛܗܝܢ ܘܒܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܝܢ ܥܡܟ ܐܬܒܕܪ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܗܘܬ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܚܣܕܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡ̈ܐ
17 Hear, therefore, O God, the prayer and petition of your servant; and for your own sake, O Lord, let your face shine upon your desolate sanctuary.	17 ܡܟܝܠ ܫܡ̣ܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܗ ܕܥܒ̣ܕܟ ܘܒܬܟܫܦܬܢ ܘܐܢܗܪ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܒܡܩܕܫܟ ܕܚ̣ܪܒ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܟ ܡܪܝܐ
18 Give ear, O my God, and listen; open your eyes and see our ruins and the city which bears your name. When we present our petition before you, we rely not on our just deeds, but on your great mercy.	18 ܐܪܟܢ ܐܠܗܝ ܐܕܢܟ ܘܫ̣ܡܥ ܘܦܬ̣ܚ ܥ̈ܝܢܝܟ ܘܚܙܝ ܚܪ̈ܒܬܢ ܘܨܕ̈ܝܬܢ ܘܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܫܡܟ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܢ ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܘܡܨܠܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܐ
19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, pardon! O Lord, be attentive and act without delay, for your own sake, O my God, because this city and your people bear your name!"	19 ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡ̣ܥ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܣܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܘܬ ܘܥܒܕ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܚܪ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܟ ܐܠܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܟ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܥܠ ܡܕܝܢܬܟ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܟ
20 I was still occupied with my prayer, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, presenting my petition to the LORD, my God, on behalf of his holy mountain--	20 ܘܥܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܘܡܘܕܐ ܚܘ̈ܒܝ ܘܚܘ̈ܒܝ ܥܡܝ ܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܪܡ̇ܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܟܫܦܬܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܛܘܪܗ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܝ
21 I was still occupied with this prayer, when Gabriel, the one whom I had seen before in vision, came to me in rapid flight at the time of the evening sacrifice.	21 ܘܥܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܦ̣ܪܚ ܡܦܪܚ ܘܛܣ ܘܐܬ̣ܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܩ̣ܪܒ ܠܘܬܝ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܪܡܫܐ
22 He instructed me in these words: "Daniel, I have now come to give you understanding.	22 ܘܐܬ̣ܐ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܡܝ ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܝ ܕܢܝܐܝܠ ܗܫܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܕܐܠܦܟ ܕܬܣܬܟܠ
23 When you began your petition, an answer was given which I have come to announce, because you are beloved. Therefore, mark the answer and understand the vision.	23 ܒܪܝܫ ܨܠܘܬܟ ܢܦ̣ܩ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܡܚܘܝܘܬܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܓܝܓ ܐܢܬ ܐܬܒܝܢ ܒܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܐܣܬܟܠ ܒܚܙܘܐ
24 "Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and for your holy city: Then transgression will stop and sin will end, guilt will be expiated, Everlasting justice will be introduced, vision and prophecy ratified, and a most holy will be anointed.	24 ܫܒܥܝܢ ܫܒܘ̈ܥܝܢ ܢܬܬܢܝܚܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܡܟ ܘܥܠ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܟ ܠܡܫܠܡ ܚܘܒ̈ܐ ܘܠܡܓܡܪ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܠܫܘܒܩܢ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܘܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܙܕܩܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܡܫܠܡ ܚܙܘܐ ܘܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܩܕܘܫ ܩܘܕ̈ܫܝܢ
25 Know and understand this: From the utterance of the word that Jerusalem was to be rebuilt Until one who is anointed and a leader, there shall be seven weeks. During sixty-two weeks it shall be rebuilt, With streets and trenches, in time of affliction.	25 ܘܬܕܥ ܘܬܣܬܟܠ ܡܢ ܡܦܩܢܗ̇ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܠܡܗܦܟ ܘܠܡܒܢܝܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܠܡܐܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܫܒܘ̈ܥܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܘܫܒܘ̈ܥܐ ܫܬܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܗܦܘܟ ܘܢܒܢܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܫܘܩ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܦܠܛܘ̈ܬܗ̇ ܠܫܘܠܡ ܙܒܢܐ
26 After the sixty-two weeks an anointed shall be cut down when he does not possess the city; And the people of a leader who will come shall destroy the sanctuary. Then the end shall come like a torrent; until the end there shall be war, the desolation that is decreed.	26 ܘܒܬܪ ܫܒܘ̈ܥܐ ܫܬܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܬܩܛܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ̇ ܘܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܬܬܚܒܠ ܥܡ ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܕܐ̇ܬܐ ܘܚܪܬܗ̇ ܒܓܪܘܦܝܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ ܕܦܣܝ̈ܩܬܐ ܕܚܒ̇ܠܐ
27 For one week he shall make a firm compact with the many; Half the week he shall abolish sacrifice and oblation; On the temple wing shall be the horrible abomination until the ruin that is decreed is poured out upon the horror."	27 ܘܢܥ̇ܫܢ ܕܝܬܩܐ ܠܣܓܝܐ̈ܐ ܫܒܘܥܐ ܚܕ ܘܦܠܓܘܬ ܫܒܘܥܐ ܘܢܒ̇ܛܠ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܢ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܚܒ̇ܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܓܡܘܪܝܐ ܕܦܣܝ̈ܩܬܐ ܬܬܢܝܚ ܥܠ ܚܒ̇ܠܐ
