Order for Daily Morning Prayer in Deg Xinag.
Translated by John Wight Chapman.
New York: A. G. Sherwood & Co.,1896.

Historical introduction

This translation into Deg Xinag of portions of Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer was prepared by John Wight Chapman (1858-1939), missionary of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Anvik from 1887 to 1930, with the assistance of native speakers of Deg Xinag.

William Muss-Arnolt discusses the history of this translation and provides biographical details on its translator in Chapter LXXII of The Book of Common Prayer among the Nations of the World (1914):

A translation of the "Order for daily Morning Prayer," 11 pages, paper, 5⅝ x 8¾ inches, long lines was printed for Mr. Chapman. Reverse of title blank; text, pp. 3-11. Headings and subheadings in English. The pamphlet was printed by A. G. Sherwood & Co., New York City, in 1896. A copy of the translation was sent to the author by Mr. Chapman, who at the same time stated that:

"The translation was made in December, 1895, by the Rev. John Wight Chapman and Paul Hasyan (native), and later a revision was made by Mr. Chapman and Isaac Fisher (native). So far as I am aware this is the first publication in the dialect in use in Anvik. . . . Some errors went into print which I hope to correct in a future revision which is now in course of preparation. The publication will include much more than the service for Morning Prayer. Besides this translation, I have prepared a translation, now ready for print, of the gospels for the Sundays and greater festivals and fasts of the Christian year; also, I have a good deal of material in manuscript which needs revision before it is published".

Chapman also translated the Form of the Solemnization of Matrimony and The Gospels for the Sundays and Principal Days of Obligation for the Christian Year, both of which remained in use in typescript. His own account of his missionary life in Alaska is Forty Years in Anvik (Hartford, Connecticut: Church Missions Publishing, 1931).

This translation is not listed in David Griffiths’s Bibliography of the Book of Common Payer 1549-1999 (London: The British Library; New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, 2002). This text was digitized in 2010 by Richard Mammana from a copy of the original provided by Thomas Rae, with grateful assistance for bibliographic consultation from the Alaska Native Language Center.
