In context
1 Dario mwana wa Ahasuero, wa uzao wa Wamedi. Alikuwa na Ahasuero ambaye alifanywa mfalme juu ya ufalme wa watu wa Babeli.
2 Sasa katika mwaka wa kwanza wa utawala wa Dario, mimi Danieli, nilikuwa najisomea vitabu vilivyo na neno la Yahweh, neno ambalo lilikuwa limemjia Yeremia nabii. Niligundua kwamba kungekuwa na miaka sabini hadi mwisho wa kuachwa kwa Yerusalemu ungefika.
3 Niliugeuza uso wangu kumwelekea Bwana Mungu, ili kumtafuta yeye kwa sala na maombi, kwa kufunga, na kuvaa nguo za magunia na kukaa katika majivu.
4 Nilimwomba Yahweh Mungu wangu, na niliungama dhambi zetu. Nilisema, “Tafadhali, Bwana, wewe ni Mungu mkuu na mwenye kuheshimiwa, wewe hutunza maagano na uliye mwaminifu katika kuwapenda wale wanaokupenda wewe na kuzishika amri zako.
5 Tumetenda dhambi na tumefanya yaliyo mabaya. Tumeenenda kwa uovu na tumeasi, tumegeuka upande kinyume na amri na maagizo yako.
6 Hatujawasikiliza watumishi wako manabii walizungumza na wafalme wetu, viongozi wetu, baba zetu, na kwa watu wote wa nchi kwa jina lako.
