Da~`nya´ Kii: The Book of Daniel Translated in the Mann Language

The Liberia Inland Mission developed the Mann Language scripts and other indigenous language scripts to make the ethnic groups in Liberia own the word of God. Thus, the Bible was translated into several local languages in the 1950s.

The New Testament version of the Bible has been translated and widely spread compared to the Old Testament. Beyond that, much has not been done to produce other Christian literature in the indigenous languages as in the English language, for example. Therefore, this book, the Book of Daniel, and other books are being translated into the Mann Language to encourage people to read the Bible, especially in the Mann, to rejuvenate the dreams of the Liberia Inland Missionaries. Written by Prophet Daniel, this book vividly describes the faithful Jews, including Daniel himself, in Babylonia captivity. When Daniel remained faithful to God, worshiping Him and no other gods, praying, and refusing to eat the king's food, he found favor with God. Whatever persecution he underwent, God was faithful to him to the extent that he was promoted to high positions in the Babylonia government. He was also blessed with the wisdom of interpreting dreams. When one is faithful to God, whether he goes into the fiery furnace, God will be there with him.
