¹In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,

¹ Ahasuwerus izo Dariyus, kaŋ fun Medancey ra, nga kaŋ i daŋ koytaray ra Kaldancey mayray boŋ, a jiiri sintina ra,

²in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by the books that the number of the years, whereof the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishment of the desolations of Jerusalem, was seventy years.

² a mayra jiiri sintina ra no, ay Daniyel, tirey do ay faham da jiirey baayaŋ lasaabo, kaŋ Rabbi sanno ci din annabi* Irimiya se ka ne Urusalima zeeriyaŋo ga to jiiri wayye.

³And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes;

³ Ay n'ay moyduma sinji mo Irikoy Koy Beero do haray, zama ay ma ceeci a gaa, da adduwa da ŋwaaray-ŋwaarayyaŋ da mehaw da bufu zaara hawyaŋ da boosu yaŋ a banda.

⁴and I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made my confession, and said, Alas Lord! the great and terrible ùGod, keeping covenant and loving-kindness with them that love him, and that keep his commandments:

⁴ Ay n'ay adduwa te Rabbi ay Irikoyo gaa, ay n'ay taaley ci mo. Ay ne: «Ya Irikoy, Irikoy beero kaŋ ga humburandi mo, nin kaŋ na alkawli sambu ka suuji haggoy borey kaŋ yaŋ na baakasinay cabe ni se, da ni lordey haggoykoy mo se.

⁵we have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy commandments and from thine ordinances.

⁵ Iri na zunubi te, iri na taali te, iri na goy laalo te, iri murte mo, iri kamba, lordey haggoyyaŋ da ni farilley gaa.

⁶And we have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

⁶ Iri mana hanga jeeri ni tamey se mo, annabey kaŋ salaŋ ni maa ra iri bonkooney d'iri koy kayney d'iri kaayey da laabo talkey kulu se.

⁷Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithfulness in which they have been unfaithful against thee.

⁷ Ya Irikoy, adilitaray wo ni wane no, amma iri wo kala haawi danga mate kaŋ a go hunkuna, mate kaŋ Yahuda borey da Urusalima gorokoy da Israyla kulu mo go no, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga maan da ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga mooru laabey kulu ra, nangey kaŋ ra ni n'i gaaray, i taaley kaŋ i te ni se sabbay se.

⁸O Lord, unto us is confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

⁸ Ya Koyo, haawi go iri nda iri bonkooney da iri koy kayney da iri kaayey gaa, zama iri na zunubi te ni se.

⁹With the Lord our God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him;

⁹ Suuji, suuji nda yaafa, Koyo iri Irikoyo se no i go, baa kaŋ iri murte a gaa!

¹⁰and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.

¹⁰ Iri mana Rabbi iri Irikoyo sanno gana mo kaŋ ga naŋ iri ma diraw te a lordey ra kaŋ a daŋ iri jine, a tam annabey meyey ra.

¹¹And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God: for we have sinned against him.

¹¹ Haciika Israyla kulu na ni asariya taamu-taamu, zama i fay da ni sanno ganayaŋ. Woodin sabbay se no i na laaliyaŋ gusam iri boŋ, zeyaŋo boŋ kaŋ go hantumante Irikoy tamo Musa asariya tira ra, zama iri na zunubi te a se.

¹²And he hath performed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that there hath not been done under the whole heaven as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

¹² A sanney kaŋ a ci iri boŋ d'iri ciitikoy kaŋ yaŋ na ciitiyaŋ te boŋ, a n'i tabbatandi iri se, za kaŋ a kande masiiba beeri wo iri boŋ, zama beena cire i mana haŋ kaŋ i te Urusalima se dumi te ce fo.

¹³As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet we besought not Jehovah our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

¹³ Danga mate kaŋ i hantum Musa asariya ra, masiiba woodin kulu kaŋ iri boŋ. Kulu nda yaadin iri mana Rabbi iri Irikoyo gomno ŋwaaray zama iri ma du ka bare ka fay da iri laala bo, iri ma faham da ni cimo.

¹⁴And Jehovah hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he hath done; and we have not hearkened unto his voice.

¹⁴ Woodin se no Rabbi na masiiba woodin batu, hal a kand'a iri boŋ, zama Rabbi iri Irikoyo ya adilitaraykoy no a goyey kulu kaŋ a goy ra. Iri mana a sanno gana mo.

¹⁵-- And now, O Lord our God, who broughtest thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name, as it is this day, -- we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

¹⁵ Sohõ binde, ya Koyo iri Irikoyo, nin kaŋ fun da ni borey Misira laabu nda kambe hinkoyo, ni du ni boŋ se maa danga hunkuna. Iri na zunubi te, iri na goy laalo goy.

¹⁶Lord, according to all thy righteousnesses, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; for because of our sins, and because of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all round about us.

¹⁶ Ya Koyo, ni adilitara kulu boŋ, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ni bine tunyaŋo da ni futa ma bare ka fay da ni kwaara Urusalima, ni tondi hananta. Zama iri zunubey d'iri kaayey laala sabbay se no, Urusalima nda ni borey ciya wowi hari borey kulu kaŋ go g'iri windi se.

¹⁷And now, our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

¹⁷ Sohõ binde, ya iri Irikoyo, ma hangan ka maa ay, ni taamo adduwa, d'ay ŋwaara se. Koy Beero sabbay se ma naŋ ni moyduma ma kaari ni nangu hananta boŋ, kaŋ ciya kurmu.

¹⁸Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear; open thine eyes and behold our desolations, and the city that is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee because of our righteousnesses, but because of thy manifold mercies.

¹⁸ Ya ay Irikoyo, ni hanga jeeri ka maa, ma ni moy fiti ka guna iri kaŋyaŋo, da kwaara kaŋ i ga ce da ni maa, zama iri mana iri ŋwaarayyaŋey gusam ni jine iri boŋ adilitara sabbay se bo, amma ni suuji beerey sabbay se no.

¹⁹Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, hearken and do! defer not, for thine own sake, O my God! for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

¹⁹ Ya ay Koyo, ma maa, ya ay Koyo, ma yaafa. Ya ay Koyo, ma saalay daŋ ka goy. Ya ay Irikoyo, ma si gay, ni bumbo sabbay se, zama i ga ni kwaara da ni borey ce da ni maa.»

²⁰And whilst I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;

²⁰ Saaya kaŋ ay go sanno ra, ay go ga adduwa, ay g'ay zunubo da ay borey Israyla zunubey ci, ay ga kande ay ŋwaarayyaŋey Rabbi ay Irikoyo jine, ay Irikoyo tondi hananta sabbay se.

²¹whilst I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

²¹ Oho, za ay goono ga salaŋ adduwa ra, kala bora din, Jibraylu, kaŋ ay di bangandi sintina ra kaŋ i n'a daŋ a ma deesi nda waasi, a n'ay ham wiciri kambu sarga waate.

²²And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.

²² A n'ay fahamandi mo, a salaŋ d'ay ka ne: «Ya Daniyel, sohõ ay kaa zama ay ma ni no bayray da fahamay.

²³At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to declare [it]; for thou art one greatly beloved. Therefore consider the word, and have understanding in the vision:

²³ Za ni ŋwaarayyaŋ sintina gaa, lordo fatta. Sohõ mo ay kaa zama ay ma ci ni se, zama ni ya boro no kaŋ Irikoy ga ba gumo. Ma laakal binde da misa, ma bangando bay mo.

²⁴Seventy weeks are apportioned out upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make expiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal the vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.

²⁴ I waadu ni borey da ni kwaara hananta se iyye hala sorro wayye, zama Irikoy ma asariya taamuyaŋ gaay, a ma naŋ zunubey ma ban, a ma sasabandiyaŋ te laala sabbay se, a ma furo nda adilitaray kaŋ ga duumi, a ma bangando nda annabitaray daabu k'i kawaatimandi, a ma nga kaŋ hanan da ikulu mo tuusu da ji.

²⁵Know therefore and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah, the Prince, are seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. The street and the moat shall be built again, even in troublous times.

²⁵ Ma bay binde, ma faham mo kaŋ za lordo fattayaŋ waate kaŋ i ga ne i ma ye ka Urusalima cina, hala Koyo Almasihu waate, iyye-iyye hala sorro iyye ga te, da iyye-iyye hala sorro waydu cindi hinka mo. I ga ye k'a batama nda goota cina amma masiiba jirbey ra.

²⁶And after the sixty-two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with an overflow, and unto the end, war, -- the desolations determined.

²⁶ Iyye waydu cindi hinka din banda mo, i ga Almasihu waasu, a si du nga wane. Koyo kaŋ ga kaa mo, a borey ga kwaara nda nangu hananta halaci. A bananta mo ga te da hari-yaa. Hala kokor banda mo i ga wongu te, i na kurmuyaŋ waadu mo.

²⁷And he shall confirm a covenant with the many [for] one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and because of the protection of abominations [there shall be] a desolator, even until that the consumption and what is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate.

²⁷ A ga sappe kaŋ ga beeri te nga nda boro boobo game ra iyye fo se. Iyya bindo ra mo a ga naŋ ham sargay da nooyaŋey ma ban. Kazaamataray kaŋ ga yandi boŋ mo no zeerikoy ga kaa. Hala bananta ra halaciyaŋ kaŋ i waadu mo ga kaŋ zeerikwa boŋ.»
