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 the number of the years about which the word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even 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.

³I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, 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.

⁴I prayed to Yahweh my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and 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 dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your 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.

⁶neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your 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.

⁷Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.

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.

⁸Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.

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

⁹To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelled against him;

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

¹⁰neither have we obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by 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.

¹¹Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that they should not obey your voice: therefore the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us; 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.

¹²He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil; for under the whole sky, such has not been done as has been done to 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 has come on us: yet have we not entreated the favor of Yahweh our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in your 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.

¹⁴Therefore has Yahweh watched over the evil, and brought it on us; for Yahweh our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed 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.

¹⁵Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten yourself renown, as at 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 your righteousness, let your anger and please let your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around 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.

¹⁷Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your 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.

¹⁸My God, turn your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and see our desolations, and the city which is called by your name: for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies’ sake.

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, listen and do; don’t defer, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your 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.»

²⁰While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Yahweh 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.

²¹yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening offering.

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.

²²He instructed me, and talked with me, and said, Daniel, I am now come forth to give you wisdom and 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 your petitions the commandment went forth, and I have come to tell you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand 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 decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

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 discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, “Anointed One” can also be translated “Messiah” (same as “Christ”). the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled 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.

²⁶After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One “Anointed One” can also be translated “Messiah” (same as “Christ”). shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are 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.

²⁷He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out on 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.»
