And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. |
Notes:
| In the Potawatomi text, letters in brackets could not be read with certainty. Words added to the English translation are enclosed in brackets. The Jesuits constructed an elaborate orthography that utilized diacritical marks extensively. Occasionally, more than one such mark was associated with a single letter. In that event, the second diacritical mark follows the letter with which it is associated in the manuscript. Similarly, when the html symbol set does not include the letter/diacritical mark combination, the diacritical mark is inserted after the letter. In chapter 22, verse 18, /enemê¨kasoýe¯g/ demonstrates both of these situations. | |
| 1 | V. 1. /d[e]s olivi[u]s/ is French or Latin, not Potawatomi. |
| 2 | V. 3. /enin[ú]g/ could be /eninéig/. |
| 3 | V. 7. /otekwi¯oniwan/ is written above the last half of the previous word, /owap[a]woyaniwan/. |
| 4 | V. 8. In addition, /ôt[e]chpichim[o]nkatannauwa/ is written in the margin with a little x beside it. In the main text, a word is partially crossed out. The remaining segment reads /sitonauwan/; above it, /or x/ and the word that I used, /otechiwêkisitonauwa/, was written. I interpreted all this to mean that the word above the partially crossed out word was to be used but /ôt[e]chpichimonkatannauwa/ was also an acceptable translation; the original word was to be ignored in its entirety. |
| 5 | V. 9. A word, which appears to be /piëchiät/ was written before /piät/, and was crossed out. |
