2 in the first year of his reign I Dani El discern by scrolls the number of the years the word of Yah Veh was to Yirme Yah the prophet, concerning fulfilling the parched areas of Yeru Shalem - seventy years.
3 And I give my face to Adonay Elohim, to seek by prayer and supplications; with fasting and saq and ashes.
4 And I pray to Yah Veh my Elohim, and spread my hands, and say, I beseech, O Adonay, great and awesome El, who guards the covenant and mercy to them who love him and to them who guard his misvoth;
5 we sinned and perverted and did wickedly and rebelled - by turning aside from your misvoth and from your judgments:
6 we hearkened not to your servants the prophets, who worded in your name to our sovereigns, our governors and our fathers and to all the people of the land.
7 O Adonay, justness to you; and shame of faces to us, as this day; to the men of Yah Hudah and to the settlers of Yeru Shalem and to all Yisra El, near and far, through all the lands you drove them, because of the treason they treasoned against you.
8 Adonay, shame of face to us - to our sovereigns, to our governors and to our fathers, because we sinned against you.
9 To Adonay our Elohim, mercies and forgivenesses though we rebelled against him;
10 we hearkened not to the voice of Yah Veh our Elohim - to walk in the torah he gave at our face by the hand of his servants the prophets.
11 Yes, all Yisra El trespassed your torah, even by turning aside to not hearken to your voice; so the oath pours on us - the oath inscribed in the torah of Mosheh the servant of Elohim, because we sinned against him.
12 And he raises the words he worded against us and against our judges who judge us, by bringing a great evil on us - as never worked under the whole heavens as he works on Yeru Shalem:
13 as inscribed in the torah of Mosheh, all this evil comes on us: yet we stroke not the face of Yah Veh our Elohim to turn from our perversities and comprehend your truth:
14 and Yah Veh watches on the evil, and brings it on us: for Yah Veh our Elohim is just in all the works he works: for we hearken not to his voice.
15 And now, Adonay our Elohim, who brought your people from the land of Misrayim with a strong hand, and worked yourself a name, as this day; we sin; we do wickedly.
16 Adonay, according to all your justness, I beseech you, turn away your wrath and your fury from your city Yeru Shalem - your holy mountain: because, for our sins and for the perversities of our fathers Yeru Shalem and your people are a reproach to all, all around us:
17 and now, O our Elohim, hear the prayer of your servant and his supplications; and lighten your face on your holies that are desolate for sake of Adonay.
18 O my Elohim, spread your ear and hear; open your eyes and see our desolated; and the city on whom your name is called: for we fell not our supplications at your face because of our our justnesses - but because of your great mercies.
19 Adonay, hear; Adonay, forgive; Adonay, hearken and work; delay not, for your own sake, my Elohim: for your city and your people on whom your name is called.
20 And as I speak and pray and spread my hands for my sin and for the sin of my people Yisra El; and fell my supplication at the face of Yah Veh my Elohim for the holy mountain of my Elohim;
21 yes, as I speak in prayer, the man Gabri El, whom I saw in the vision at the beginning, wearied in weariness, touches me about the time of the evening offering:
22 and discerns, and words with me, and says, O Dani El, I now come forth to have you comprehend discernment:
23 at the beginning of your supplications the word came forth, and I come to tell; for you are desired: so discern the word and discern the vision.
