10 Tiribe kubvera fala lanu Yahova Mulungu wathu, tiribe kutewera malamulo yanu yomwe mudatipasa mwakuphatisa basa atumiki wanu apolofeta.
11 Ajirayeri wentse aphonyera Lamulo lanu ndipo apambuka mwakusaya kubvera fala lanu, ndipopa mwatikhuthulira themberero pabodzi na lumbiro lomwe lidanembedwa mu Lamulo la Mozeji mtumiki wanu, imwe Mulungu wacadidi, pakuti ifepano tidakuphonyerani.
12 Imwepo mudatewezadi bzomwe mudalewa kuti mungadacita mwa kupasa nyathwa ifepano na atongi wathu omwe akhatitonga, ndipo mudatibweresera tsoka likulu kwene-kwene. Tsoka lomwe lacitikira Jeruzalemu, likhanati kale kucitika kuzungulira dziko lentse la pantsi.
13 Tsoka lentseneli latigwera ninga momwe bzikhadanembedwera mu Lamulo la Mozeji, tsono napo bziri tenepo, ifepano tiribe kulinga* kufunidwa na imwepo Yahova Mulungu wathu, mwakusiya bzakuphonya bzathu ticilatiza kuti tabvesesa cadidi canu.*
14 “Tenepo, imwe Yahova mwakhala tceru ndipo mwatibweresera tsokali pakuti imwepo Yahova Mulungu wathu ndimwe wakulungama pa bzentse bzomwe mumbacita, tsono ifepano tiribe kubvera mafala yanu.
15 “Tenepo imwe Yahova Mulungu wathu, omwe mudacosa wanthu wanu m’dziko la Edjipito na boko lanu lamphanvu, omwembo mudabzikonzera dzina lomwe liripo mpaka lero, ifepano tacita pikado ndipo tacita bzinthu bzakuipa.
16 Imwe Yahova omwe nthawe zentse mumbacita bzinthu bzakulungama, taphata minyendo, cosani ukali bwanu bukulu pa mzinda wanu Jeruzalemu na pa phiri lanu lakucena, pakuti thangwe ra pikado zathu na bzakuphonya bza makolo yathu yakale wanthu wentse omwe atizungulira akunyoza Jeruzalemu na wanthu wanu.
17 Tsapano imwe Mulungu wathu, bveserani mpembo wa mtumiki wanu na kudandaula kwace, mbuto yanu yakupambulika yomwe yapfudzidwa idekereni mtima, imwe Yahova, thangwe ra dzina lanu.

20 Pomwe ndikhapitiriza kulewalewa, kupemba na kuzimbula pikado zangu na pikado za wanthu wangu Ajirayeri pabodzi na kukumbira Yahova Mulungu wangu kuti adekere mtima phiri lace lakucena,

22 Iye adacitisa kuti ndibvesese, acindiuza kuti:
“Iwe Daniyeli, inepano ndabwera kuti ndidzakucitise kuzindikira na kukuthandiza kubvesesa bzomwe bzin’dzacitika.

24 “Pana sumana zakukwana 70* zomwe zaikhidwira wanthu wako na mzinda wako wakucena, kuti kupanduka na pikado yawo bzimalisidwe, kuti adzampsinkhe bzakuphonya, acibweresa cirungamo cakusaya kumala, kuti aikhe cidindo pa masomphenya na mapolofesiya* acidzoza Mbuto Yakucenesesa.
25 Iwepo un’funika kudziwa na kubvesesa ibzi: Kucokera pa nthawe yomwe pan’dzaikhidwa lamulo la kubwezeresa na kumanga pomwe Jeruzalemu mpaka kubwera kwa Mesiya,* Mtsogoleri, pan’dzakhala masumana 7 na masumana 62. Jeruzalemuyo an’dzakonzedwa na kumangidwa pomwe ndipo an’dzakhala na misika na migwero ya madzi. Tsono bzimwebzi bzin’dzacitika pa nthawe yakunesa.
26 “Yakadzapita masumana 62, Mesiya an’dzaphedwa ndipo an’dzasiidwa lini na cinthu.
“Ndipo mtsogoleri akubwera na acikunda wace, iwo an’dzapfudza mzindayo na mbuto yakucena ndipo kumala kwace kun’dzakhala kudzala kwa madzi. Kun’dzakhala na nkhondo mpaka kuphampha. Mwakubverana na kufuna kwa Mulungu pan’dzakhala na kupfudzidwa.
