1. കല്ദയ രാജ്യത്തിന്നു രാജാവായിത്തീര്ന്നവനും മേദ്യസന്തതിയില് ഉള്ള അഹശ്വേരോശിന്റെ മകനുമായ ദാര്യ്യാവേശിന്റെ ഒന്നാം ആണ്ടില്,

1. మాదీయుడగు అహష్వేరోషుయొక్క కుమారుడైన దర్యావేషు కల్దీయులపైన రాజాయెను.

2. അവന്റെ വാഴ്ചയുടെ ഒന്നാം ആണ്ടില് തന്നേ, ദാനീയേല് എന്ന ഞാന് യെരൂശലേമിന്റെ ശൂന്യാവസ്ഥ എഴുപതു സംവത്സരംകൊണ്ടു തീരും എന്നിങ്ങനെ യഹോവയുടെ അരുളപ്പാടു യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകന്നുണ്ടായ പ്രകാരം ഒരു കാലസംഖ്യ പുസ്തകങ്ങളില്നിന്നു ഗ്രഹിച്ചു.

2. అతని ఏలుబడిలో మొదటి సంవత్సరమందు దానియేలను నేను యెహోవా తన ప్రవక్తయగు యిర్మీయాకు సెలవిచ్చి తెలియజేసినట్టు, యెరూషలేము పాడుగా ఉండవలసిన డెబ్బది సంవత్సరములు సంపూర్తియౌచున్నవని గ్రంథములవలన గ్రహించితిని.

3. അപ്പോള് ഞാന് ഉപവസിച്ചും രട്ടുടുത്തും വെണ്ണീരില് ഇരുന്നും കൊണ്ടു പ്രാര്ത്ഥനയോടും യാചനകളോടും കൂടെ അപേക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ദൈവമായ കര്ത്താവിങ്കലേക്കു മുഖം തിരിച്ചു.

3. అంతట నేను గోనెపట్ట కట్టుకొని, ధూళి తలపైన వేసికొని ఉపవాసముండి, ప్రార్థన విజ్ఞాపనలు చేయుటకై ప్రభువగు దేవుని యెదుట నా మనస్సును నిబ్బరము చేసికొంటిని.

4. എന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയോടു ഞാന് പ്രാര്ത്ഥിച്ചു ഏറ്റുപറഞ്ഞതെന്തെന്നാല്തന്നെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നവര്ക്കും തന്റെ കല്പനകളെ പ്രമാണിക്കുന്നവര്ക്കും നിയമവും ദയയും പരിപാലിക്കുന്നവനായി മഹാനും ഭയങ്കരനുമായ ദൈവമായ കര്ത്താവേ,

4. నేను నా దేవుడైన యెహోవా యెదుట ప్రార్థనచేసి యొప్పుకొన్నదేమనగా ప్రభువా, మాహాత్మ్యము గలిగిన భీకరుడవగు దేవా, నీ ఆజ్ఞలను అనుసరించి నడుచు వారియెడల నీ నిబంధనను నీ కృపను జ్ఞాపకముచేయు వాడా,

5. ഞങ്ങള് പാപം ചെയ്തു, വികടമായി നടന്നു, ദുഷ്ടത പ്രവര്ത്തിച്ചു; ഞങ്ങള് മത്സരിച്ചു നിന്റെ കല്പനകളും വിധികളും വിട്ടുമാറിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

5. మేమైతే నీ దాసులగు ప్రవక్తలు నీ నామమును బట్టి మా రాజులకును మా యధిపతులకును మా పితరులకును యూదయదేశజనులకందరికిని చెప్పిన మాటలను ఆలకింపక

6. ഞങ്ങളുടെ രാജാക്കന്മാരോടും പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരോടും പിതാക്കന്മാരോടും ദേശത്തിലെ സകലജനത്തോടും നിന്റെ നാമത്തില് സംസാരിച്ച നിന്റെ ദാസന്മാരായ പ്രവാചകന്മാരുടെ വാക്കു ഞങ്ങള് കേട്ടനുസരിച്ചതുമില്ല.
വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 10:7, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 11:18

6. నీ ఆజ్ఞలను నీ విధులను అనుసరించుట మాని, పాపులమును దుష్టులమునై చెడుతనమందు ప్రవర్తించుచు తిరుగుబాటు చేసినవారము.

7. കര്ത്താവേ, നിന്റെ പക്കല് നീതിയുണ്ടു; ഞങ്ങള്ക്കോ ഇന്നുള്ളതു പോലെ ലജ്ജയത്രേ; നിന്നോടു ദ്രോഹിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ദ്രോഹം ഹേതുവായി നീ അവരെ നീക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്ന സകലദേശങ്ങളിലും സമീപസ്ഥരും ദൂരസ്ഥരുമായ യെഹൂദാപുരുഷന്മാര്ക്കും യെരൂശലേംനിവാസികള്ക്കും എല്ലായിസ്രായേലിന്നും തന്നേ.

7. ప్రభువా, నీవే నీతిమంతుడవు; మేమైతే సిగ్గుచేత ముఖవికారమొందినవారము; మేము నీమీద తిరుగుబాటు చేసితివిు; దానినిబట్టి నీవు సకల దేశములకు మమ్మును తరిమితివి, యెరూషలేములోను యూదయ దేశములోను నివసించుచు స్వదేశవాసులుగా ఉన్నట్టియు, పరదేశవాసులుగా ఉన్నట్టియు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరికిని మాకును ఈ దినమున సిగ్గే తగియున్నది.

8. കര്ത്താവേ, ഞങ്ങള് നിന്നോടു പാപം ചെയ്തിരിക്കയാല് ഞങ്ങളും ഞങ്ങളുടെ രാജാക്കന്മാരും പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരും പിതാക്കന്മാരും ലജ്ജിക്കേണ്ടതു തന്നേ.

8. ప్రభువా, నీకు విరోధముగా పాపము చేసినందున మాకును మా రాజులకును మా యధిపతులకును మా పితరులకును ముఖము చిన్న బోవునట్లుగా సిగ్గే తగియున్నది.

9. ഞങ്ങുടെ ദൈവമായ കര്ത്താവിന്റെ പക്കല് കരുണയും മോചനവും ഉണ്ടു; ഞങ്ങളോ അവനോടു മത്സരിച്ചു.

9. మేము మా దేవుడైన యెహోవాకు విరోధముగా తిరుగుబాటు చేసితివిు; అయితే ఆయన కృపాక్షమాపణలుగల దేవుడైయున్నాడు.

10. അവന് തന്റെ ദാസന്മാരായ പ്രവാചകന്മാര് മുഖാന്തരം ഞങ്ങളുടെ മുമ്പില് വെച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന ന്യായപ്രമാണപ്രകാരം നടപ്പാന് ഞങ്ങള് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ വചനം കേട്ടനുസരിച്ചില്ല.
വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 10:7, വെളിപ്പാടു വെളിപാട് 11:18

10. ఆయన తన దాసులగు ప్రవక్తలద్వారా మాకు ఆజ్ఞలు ఇచ్చి, వాటిని అనుసరించి నడుచుకొనవలెనని సెలవిచ్చెను గాని, మేము మా దేవుడైన యెహోవా మాట వినకపోతివిు.

11. യിസ്രായേലൊക്കെയും നിന്റെ വചനം കേട്ടനുസരിക്കാതെ വിട്ടുമാറി നിന്റെ ന്യായപ്രമാണം ലംഘിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; ഇങ്ങനെ ഞങ്ങള് അവനോടു പാപം ചെയ്തിരിക്കയാല് ദൈവത്തിന്റെ ദാസനായ മോശെയുടെ ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തില് എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്ന ശാപവും ആണയും ഞങ്ങളുടെമേല് ചൊരിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു.

11. ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరు నీ ధర్మశాస్త్రము నతిక్రమించి నీ మాట వినక తిరుగుబాటు చేసిరి. మేము పాపము చేసితివిు గనుక నేను శపించెదనని నీవు నీ దాసుడగు మోషే ధర్మశాస్త్రమందు ప్రమాణము చేసియున్నట్లు ఆ శాపమును మామీద కుమ్మరించితివి.

12. അവന് വലിയ അനര്ത്ഥം ഞങ്ങളുടെ മേല് വരുത്തിയതിനാല് ഞങ്ങള്ക്കും ഞങ്ങള്ക്കു ന്യായപാലനം നടത്തിവന്ന ന്യായാധിപന്മാര്ക്കും വിരോധമായി താന് അരുളിച്ചെയ്ത വചനങ്ങളെ നിവര്ത്തിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; യെരൂശലേമില് സംഭവിച്ചതുപോലെ ആകാശത്തിന് കീഴിലെങ്ങും സംഭവിച്ചിട്ടില്ലല്ലോ.

12. యెరూషలేములో జరిగిన కీడు మరి ఏ దేశములోను జరుగలేదు; ఆయన మా మీదికిని, మాకు ఏలికలుగా ఉండు మా న్యాయాధిపతులమీదికిని ఇంత గొప్ప కీడు రప్పించి, తాను చెప్పిన మాటలు నెరవేర్చెను.

13. മോശെയുടെ ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തില് എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ ഞങ്ങള്ക്കു ഈ അനര്ത്ഥം ഒക്കെയും വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു; എന്നിട്ടും ഞങ്ങള് ഞങ്ങളുടെ അകൃത്യങ്ങളെ വിട്ടുതിരിഞ്ഞു നിന്റെ സത്യത്താല് ബുദ്ധിപഠിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ കൃപെക്കായി യാചിച്ചില്ല.

13. మోషే ధర్మశాస్త్రమందు వ్రాసిన కీడంతయు మాకు సంభవించినను మేము మా చెడునడవడి మానక పోతివిు; నీ సత్యమును అనుసరించి బుద్ధి తెచ్చుకొనునట్లు మా దేవుడైన యెహోవాను సమాధానపరచుకొనక పోతివిు.

14. അതുകൊണ്ടു യഹോവ അനര്ത്ഥത്തിന്നായി ജാഗരിച്ചിരുന്നു അതു ഞങ്ങളുടെമേല് വരുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു; ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവ താന് ചെയ്യുന്ന സകല പ്രവൃത്തികളിലും നീതിമാനാകുന്നു; ഞങ്ങളോ അവന്റെ വചനം കേട്ടനുസരിച്ചില്ല.

14. మేము మా దేవుడైన యెహోవా మాట వినలేదు గనుక ఆయన తన సమస్త కార్యముల విషయమై న్యాయస్థుడైయుండి, సమయము కనిపెట్టి, ఈ కీడు మా మీదికి రాజేసెను.

15. നിന്റെ ജനത്തെ ബലമുള്ള കൈകൊണ്ടു മിസ്രയീംദേശത്തുനിന്നു കൊണ്ടുവന്നു, ഇന്നുള്ളതുപോലെ നിനക്കു ഒരു നാമം ഉണ്ടാക്കിയവനായി ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമായ കര്ത്താവേ, ഞങ്ങള് പാപം ചെയ്തു ദുഷ്ടത പ്രവര്ത്തിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.

15. ప్రభువా మా దేవా, నీవు నీ బాహు బలమువలన నీ జనమును ఐగుప్తులోనుండి రప్పించుటవలన ఇప్పటివరకు నీ నామమునకు ఘనత తెచ్చుకొంటివి. మేమైతే పాపముచేసి చెడునడతలు నడిచినవారము.

16. കര്ത്താവേ, നിന്റെ സര്വ്വനീതിക്കും ഒത്തവണ്ണം നിന്റെ കോപവും ക്രോധവും നിന്റെ വിശുദ്ധപര്വ്വതമായ യെരൂശലേം നഗരത്തില്നിന്നു നീങ്ങിപ്പോകുമാറാകട്ടെ; ഞങ്ങളുടെ പാപങ്ങള്നിമിത്തവും ഞങ്ങളുടെ പിതാക്കന്മാരുടെ അകൃത്യങ്ങള്നിമിത്തവും യെരൂശലേമും നിന്റെ ജനവും ഞങ്ങള്ക്കു ചുറ്റും ഉള്ള എല്ലാവര്ക്കും നിന്ദയായി തീര്ന്നിരിക്കുന്നുവല്ലോ.

16. ప్రభువా, మా పాపములను బట్టియు మా పితరుల దోషమునుబట్టియు, యెరూషలేము నీ జనులచుట్టునున్న సకల ప్రజలయెదుట నిందాస్పదమైనది. యెరూషలేము నీకు ప్రతిష్ఠితమైన పర్వతము; ఆ పట్టణముమీదికి వచ్చిన నీ కోపమును నీ రౌద్రమును తొలగనిమ్మని నీ నీతి కార్యములన్నిటినిబట్టి విజ్ఞాపనము చేసికొనుచున్నాను.

17. ആകയാല് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ദൈവമേ, അടിയന്റെ പ്രാര്ത്ഥനയും യാചനകളും കേട്ടു ശൂന്യമായിരിക്കുന്ന നിന്റെ വിശുദ്ധമന്ദിരത്തിന്മേല് കര്ത്താവിന് നിമിത്തം തിരുമുഖം പ്രകാശിക്കുമാറാക്കേണമേ.

17. ఇప్పుడైతే మా దేవా, దీనినిబట్టి నీ దాసుడు చేయు ప్రార్థనలను విజ్ఞాపనలను ఆలకించి, ప్రభువు చిత్తానుసారముగా శిథిలమైపోయిన నీ పరిశుద్ధ స్థలముమీదికి నీ ముఖప్రకాశము రానిమ్ము.

18. എന്റെ ദൈവമേ, ചെവി ചായിച്ചു കേള്ക്കേണമേ; കണ്ണു തുറന്നു ഞങ്ങളുടെ നാശങ്ങളെയും നിന്റെ നാമം വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന നഗരത്തെയും കടാക്ഷിക്കേണമേ; ഞങ്ങള് ഞങ്ങളുടെ നീതിപ്രവൃത്തികളില് അല്ല, നിന്റെ മഹാകരുണയില് അത്രേ ആശ്രയിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു ഞങ്ങളുടെ യാചനകളെ തിരുസന്നിധിയില് ബോധിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

18. నీ గొప్ప కనికరములను బట్టియే మేము నిన్ను ప్రార్థించుచున్నాము గాని మా స్వనీతికార్యములనుబట్టి నీ సన్నిధిని నిలువబడి ప్రార్థించుటలేదు. మా దేవా, చెవి యొగ్గి ఆలకింపుము; నీ కన్నులు తెరచి, నీ పేరుపెట్టబడిన యీ పట్టణముమీదికి వచ్చిన నాశనమును, నీ పేరు పెట్టబడిన యీ పట్టణమును దృష్టించి చూడుము.

19. കര്ത്താവേ, കേള്ക്കേണമേ; കര്ത്താവേ, ക്ഷമിക്കേണമേ; കര്ത്താവേ, ചെവിക്കൊണ്ടു പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കേണമേ; എന്റെ ദൈവമേ, നിന്നെത്തന്നെ ഔര്ത്തു തമാസിക്കരുതേ; നിന്റെ നാമം വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നുവല്ലോ.

19. ప్రభువా ఆలకింపుము, ప్రభువా క్షమింపుము, ప్రభువా ఆలస్యము చేయక చెవియొగ్గి నా మనవి చిత్తగించుము. నా దేవా, యీ పట్టణమును ఈ జనమును నీ పేరు పెట్టబడినవే; నీ ఘనతనుబట్టియే నా ప్రార్థన వినుమని వేడుకొంటిని.

20. ഇങ്ങനെ ഞാന് പ്രാര്ത്ഥിക്കയും എന്റെ പാപവും എന്റെ ജനമായ യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ പാപവും ഏറ്റുപറകയും എന്റെ ദൈവത്തിന്റെ വിശുദ്ധപര്വ്വതത്തിന്നു വേണ്ടി എന്റെ ദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയില് അപേക്ഷ കഴിക്കയും ചെയ്തുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോള്,

20. నేను ఇంక పలుకుచు ప్రార్థనచేయుచు, పవిత్ర పర్వతముకొరకు నా దేవుడైన యెహోవా యెదుట నా పాపమును నా జనముయొక్క పాపమును ఒప్పుకొనుచు నా దేవుని విజ్ఞాపన చేయుచునుంటిని.

21. ഞാന് എന്റെ പ്രാര്ത്ഥന കഴിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോള് തന്നേ, ആദിയിങ്കല് ഞാന് അത്യന്തം ക്ഷീണിച്ചിരുന്ന സമയം ദര്ശനത്തില് കണ്ട ഗബ്രീയേല് എന്ന പുരുഷന് ഏകദേശം സന്ധ്യായാഗത്തിന്റെ നേരത്തു എന്നോടു അടുത്തുവന്നു.
ലൂക്കോസ് 1:19

21. నేను ఈలాగున మాటలాడుచు ప్రార్థన చేయుచునుండగా, మొదట నేను దర్శనమందు చూచిన అతి ప్రకాశమానుడైన గబ్రియేలను ఆ మనుష్యుడు సాయంత్రపు బలి అర్పించు సమయమున నాకు కనబడి నన్నుముట్టెను.

22. അവന് വന്നു എന്നോടു പറഞ്ഞതെന്തെന്നാല്ദാനീയേലേ, നിനക്കു ബുദ്ധി ഉപദേശിച്ചുതരേണ്ടതിന്നു ഞാന് ഇപ്പോള് വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു.

22. అతడు నాతో మాటలాడి ఆ సంగతి నాకు తెలియజేసి ఇట్లనెను దానియేలూ, నీకు గ్రహింప శక్తి ఇచ్చుటకు నేను వచ్చితిని.

23. നീ ഏറ്റവും പ്രിയനാകയാല് നിന്റെ യാചനകളുടെ ആരംഭത്തിങ്കല് തന്നേ കല്പന പുറപ്പെട്ടു, നിന്നോടു അറിയിപ്പാന് ഞാന് വന്നുമിരിക്കുന്നു; അതുകൊണ്ടു നീ കാര്യം ചിന്തിച്ചു ദര്ശനം ഗ്രഹിച്ചുകൊള്ക.

23. నీవు బహు ప్రియుడవు గనుక నీవు విజ్ఞాపనము చేయ నారంభించినప్పుడు, ఈ సంగతిని నీకు చెప్పుటకు వెళ్లవలెనని ఆజ్ఞ బయలుదేరెను; కావున ఈ సంగతిని తెలిసికొని నీకు కలిగిన దర్శనభావమును గ్రహించుము.

24. അതിക്രമത്തെ തടസ്ഥം ചെയ്തു പാപങ്ങളെ മുദ്രയിടുവാനും അകൃത്യത്തിന്നു പ്രായശ്ചിത്തം ചെയ്തു നിത്യനീതി വരുത്തുവാനും ദര്ശനവും പ്രവചനവും മുദ്രയിടുവാനും അതിപരിശുദ്ധമായതിനെ അഭിഷേകം ചെയ്വാനും തക്കവണ്ണം നിന്റെ ജനത്തിന്നും വിശുദ്ധനഗരത്തിന്നും എഴുപതു ആഴ്ചവട്ടം നിയമിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
പ്രവൃത്തികൾ അപ്പ. പ്രവര്‍ത്തനങ്ങള്‍ 10:43

24. తిరుగుబాటును మాన్పుటకును, పాపమును నివారణ చేయుటకును, దోషము నిమిత్తము ప్రాయశ్చిత్తము చేయుటకును, యుగాంతము వరకుండునట్టి నీతిని బయలు పరచుటకును, దర్శనమును ప్రవచనమును ముద్రించుటకును, అతి పరిశుద్ధ స్థలమును అభిషేకించుటకును, నీ జనమునకును పరిశుద్ధ పట్టణమునకును డెబ్బదివారములు విధింపబడెను.

25. അതുകൊണ്ടു നീ അറിഞ്ഞു ഗ്രഹിച്ചുകൊള്ളേണ്ടതെന്തെന്നാല്യെരൂശലേമിനെ യഥാസ്ഥാനപ്പെടുത്തി പണിവാന് കല്പന പുറപ്പെടുന്നതുമുതല് അഭിഷിക്തനായോരു പ്രഭുവരെ ഏഴു ആഴ്ചവട്ടം; അറുപത്തുരണ്ടു ആഴ്ചവട്ടംകൊണ്ടു അതിനെ വീഥിയും കിടങ്ങുമായി കഷ്ടകാലങ്ങളില് തന്നേ വീണ്ടും പണിയും.
മത്തായി 16:16, യോഹന്നാൻ 1:41

25. యెరూషలేమును మరల కట్టించవచ్చునని ఆజ్ఞ బయలుదేరిన సమయము మొదలుకొని అభిషిక్తుడగు అధిపతి వచ్చువరకు ఏడు వారములు పట్టునని స్పష్టముగా గ్రహించుము. అరువది రెండు వారములు తొందరగల సమయములందు పట్టణపు రాచవీధులును కందకములును మరల కట్టబడును.

26. അറുപത്തു രണ്ടു ആഴ്ചവട്ടം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു അഭിഷിക്തന് ഛേദിക്കപ്പെടും; അവന്നു ആരും ഇല്ലെന്നു വരും; പിന്നെ വരുവാനിരിക്കുന്ന പ്രഭുവിന്റെ പടജ്ജനം നഗരത്തെയും വിശുദ്ധമന്ദിരത്തെയും നശിപ്പിക്കും; അവന്റെ അവസാനം ഒരു പ്രളയത്തോടെ ആയിരിക്കും; അവസാനത്തോളം യുദ്ധമുണ്ടാകും; ശൂന്യങ്ങളും നിര്ണ്ണയിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.
ലൂക്കോസ് 21:24

26. ఈ అరువది రెండు వారములు జరిగిన పిమ్మట ఏమియు లేకుండ అభిషిక్తుడు నిర్మూలము చేయబడును. వచ్చునట్టి రాజు యొక్క ప్రజలు పవిత్ర పట్టణమును పరిశుద్ధ ఆలయమును నశింపజేయుదురు, వాని అంతము హఠాత్తుగా వచ్చును. మరియు యుద్ధకాలాంతమువరకు నాశనము జరుగునని నిర్ణయింపబడెను.

27. അവന് ഒരു ആഴ്ചവട്ടത്തേക്കു പലരോടും നിയമത്തെ കഠിനമാക്കും; ആഴ്ചവട്ടത്തിന്റെ മദ്ധ്യേ അവന് ഹനനയാഗവും ഭോജനയാഗവും നിര്ത്തലാക്കിളക്കയും; മ്ളേച്ഛതകളുടെ ചിറകിന്മേല് ശൂന്യമാക്കുന്നവന് വരും; നിര്ണ്ണയിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്ന സമാപ്തിയോളം ശൂന്യമാക്കുന്നവന്റെ മേല് കോപം ചൊരിയും.
മത്തായി 24:15, മർക്കൊസ് 13:14

27. అతడు ఒక వారమువరకు అనేకులకు నిబంధనను స్థిరపరచును; అర్ధవారమునకు బలిని నైవేద్యమును నిలిపివేయును హేయమైనది నిలుచువరకు నాశనము చేయువాడు వచ్చును నాశనము చేయువానికి రావలెనని నిర్ణయించిన నాశనము ముగించువరకు ఈలాగున జరుగును.
