Danieli 8
1 Chaka chachitatu cha ulamuliro wa mfumu Belisazara, Ine Danieli, ndinaonanso masomphenya, ena atatha amene anandionekera poyamba.
Mugore rechitatu rokutonga kwaMambo Bherishazari, ini, Dhanieri, ndakaona nechiratidzo, shure kwechimwe chandakanga ndamboona kare.
2 Ndinaona mʼmasomphenya kuti ndinali mu mzinda wotetezedwa wa Susa mʼchigawo cha Elamu. Mʼmasomphenyawo ndinaona nditayima pafupi ndi mtsinje wa Ulai.
Muchiratidzo changu, ndakazviona ndiri munhare yeShushani munyika yeEramu, muchiratidzo imomo, ndakanga ndiri parutivi rwoMugero weUrai.
3 Nditakweza maso ndinaona nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri, itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Nyanga zakezo zinali zazitali. Nyanga imodzi inali yotalika kuposa inzake, ndipo iyi inaphuka inzakeyo itamera kale.
Ndakatarisa kumusoro, ndokuona hapo pamberi pangu pakanga pane gondobwe raiva nenyanga mbiri, rakamira parutivi rwomugero, uye nyanga dzacho dzakanga dzakareba. Rumwe runyanga rwakanga rwakareba kupfuura rumwe asi ndirwo rwakamera mumashure.
4 Ndinaona nkhosa yayimunayo ikuthamanga mwaukali kupita kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera. Palibe chirombo chimene chikanatha kulimbana nayo, ndipo palibe akanatha kulanditsa kanthu kwa iyo. Iyo inachita monga inafunira ndipo inali ndi mphamvu zambiri.
Ndakatarira gondobwe parakanga richitunga rakananga kumavirira nokumusoro nezasi. Hakuna mhuka yaigona kumisidzana naro, uye hakuna aigona kununura kubva pasimba raro. Raiita zvaraida uye rikava guru.
5 Pamene ndinali kulingalira za zinthu zimenezi, mwadzidzidzi mbuzi yayimuna inatulukira cha kumadzulo, kudutsa dziko lonse lapansi mwaliwiro ikuyenda mʼmalele mokhamokha. Mbuzi yayimunayo inali ndi nyanga yayikulu pakati pa maso ake.
Ndakati ndichifunga pamusoro peizvi, pakarepo nhongo yakanga ine runyanga rukuru pakati pameso ayo yakabva kumavirira, ichidarika napanyika yose isingatsiki pasi.
6 Inabwera molunjika nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri ija imene ndinaona itayima pafupi ndi mtsinje. Ndipo inayithamangira mwaukali.
Yakauya yakananga kugondobwe raiva nenyanga mbiri randakanga ndaona rimire parutivi rwomugero ndokuritunga zvine hasha kwazvo.
7 Inafika pafupi ndipo inalimbana nayo mwaukali nkhosa yayimuna ija nʼkuthyola nyanga zake ziwiri. Nkhosa yayimunayo inalibenso mphamvu zogonjetsera mbuziyo; choncho mbuzi ija inagwetsa nkhosayo pansi nʼkuyipondaponda, ndipo palibe akanatha kulanditsa nkhosayo kwa mbuziyo.
Ndakaiona ichirwisa gondobwe nehasha kwazvo, ikaritunga ndokuvhuna nyanga dzaro mbiri. Gondobwe rakanga risina simba rokurwisana nayo; nhongo yakariwisira pasi ikaritsika-tsika, uye hakuna akagona kununura gondobwe pasimba rayo.
8 Mbuziyo inayamba kudzikuza kwambiri chifukwa cha mphamvu zake koma pamene mphamvuzo zinakula kwambiri nyanga yake yayikulu inathyoka, ndipo mʼmalo mwake panamera nyanga zinayi moloza mbali zonse zinayi.
Nhongo yakava huru kwazvo, asi yakati yasimba kwazvo, runyanga rwayo rukuru rwakavhunika, uye panzvimbo yarwo pakamera dzimwe nyanga ina dzakasimba dzakananga kumhepo ina dzokudenga.
9 Pa imodzi mwa nyangazo panatuluka nyanga imene inali yocheperapo koma inakula kwambiri kuloza kummwera ndi kummawa ndi kuloza dziko lokongola.
Pano rumwe runyanga pakabuda rumwe runyanga, rwakatanga rwuri ruduku asi rwakakura musimba kurutivi rwezasi uye nechokumabvazuva uye rwakananga kuNyika Yakaisvonaka.
10 Inakula mpaka inafikira gulu lankhondo la kumwamba, ndipo inagwetsera ena a gulu lankhondolo ndi ena a gulu la nyenyezi ku dziko lapansi ndi kuwapondaponda.
Rwakakura kusvikira rwasvika kuhondo dzokudenga, uye rukakanda dzimwe nyeredzi panyika pasi ndokudzitsika-tsika.
11 Inadzikuza yokha mpaka kufikira kwa mfumu ya gululo: inathetsa nsembe zimene zinkaperekedwa tsiku ndi tsiku, ndipo inagwetsa nyumba yake yopatulika.
Rwakazvikudza kuti rukure soMuchinda wehondo, rwakabvisa zvibayiro zvezuva nezuva kubva kwaari, uye nzvimbo yeimba yake tsvene ikaputsirwa pasi.
12 Gulu lake la nkhondo linathetsa nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku; chipembedzo choonadi chinaponderezedwa pansi. Nyangayi inapambana mu zonse zimene inachita.
Nokuda kwokumukira, hondo yavatsvene uye chibayiro chamazuva ose zvakapiwa kwarwuri. Rwakabudirira pane zvose zvarwaiita, uye chokwadi chikakandirwa pasi.
13 Kenaka ndinamva wina akuyankhula; ndipo woyera winanso anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi zimene ndikuziona mʼmasomphenyazi zidzatha liti? Nsembe zoperekera machimo za tsiku ndi tsiku zidzakhala zoletsedwa mpaka liti? Nanga chonyansa chosokoneza chidzakhalapo mpaka liti? Kodi gulu la ankhondo lidzapondereza malo opatulika mpaka liti?”
Ipapo ndakanzwa mumwe mutsvene achitaura, uye mumwe mutsvene akati kwaari, “Zvichatora nguva yakadini kuti chiratidzo chizadziswe, chiratidzo pamusoro pechibayiro chamazuva ose, kumukira kunokonzera kuparadzwa, uye kusiyiwa kwenzvimbo tsvene nehondo zvichatsikwa-tsikwa pasi petsoka?”
14 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita masiku 2,300; pambuyo pake malo opatulika adzabwezeretsedwa monga kale.”
Akati kwandiri, “Zvichatora madekwana namangwanani ane zviuru zviviri zvina mazana matatu; ipapo nzvimbo tsvene ichanatswazve.”
15 Ine Danieli ndikuyangʼanitsitsa masomphenyawa ndi kuyesa kuwazindikira, kuwamvetsa, ndinangoona wina wooneka ngati munthu atayima patsogolo panga.
Ini, Dhanieri, pandakanga ndichakatarira chiratidzo ndichiedza kuchinzwisisa, ndakaona hapo pamberi pangu mumwe akanga achiratidzika somunhu.
16 Ndipo ndinamva mawu a munthu kuchokera mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Ulai akuyitana kuti, “Gabrieli, muwuze munthuyu tanthauzo la masomphenyawo.”
Uye ndakanzwa inzwi romunhu richibva kuUrai richidana richiti, “Gabhurieri, taurira munhu uyu zvinoreva chiratidzo.”
17 Atayandikira kumene ndinayima, ndinachita mantha ndi kugwa chafufumimba. Iye anati, “Mwana wa munthu, zindikira kuti masomphenyawa akunena za nthawi yachimaliziro.”
Paakaswedera panzvimbo yandakanga ndimire, ndakatya ndikawira pasi nechiso changu. Iye akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, nzwisisa kuti chiratidzo ichi ndechenguva yokupedzisira.”
18 Pamene ankandiyankhula ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba, nʼkugona tulo tofa nato. Kenaka anandikhudza ndi kundiyimiritsa.
Paakanga achataura neni, ndakabatwa nehope huru kwazvo, chiso changu chakatarira pasi. Ipapo akandibata akandisimudza ndikamira netsoka dzangu.
19 Iye anati, “Ine ndikuwuza zimene zidzachitike ukadzatha mkwiyo, chifukwa masomphenyawa ndi a nthawi ya chimaliziro.”
Akati, “Ndichakuzivisa zvichaitika pakupedzisira munguva yehasha, nokuti chiratidzo ndechenguva yakatarwa yokupedzisira.
20 Nkhosa yayimuna ya nyanga ziwiri imene unayiona, ikuyimira mafumu a Amedi ndi Aperezi.
Gondobwe rine nyanga rawakaona rinomirira madzimambo eMedhia nePezhia.
21 Mbuzi yayimuna ija ndi mfumu ya Agriki, ndipo nyanga yayikulu pakati pa maso ake aja ndi mfumu yoyamba.
Nhongo ine mvere dzakamvirimvinyika ndiyo mambo weGirisi, uye runyanga rukuru rwuri pakati pameso ndirwo mambo wokutanga.
22 Kunena za nyanga inathyoka ija ndi nyanga zinayi zimene zinaphuka mʼmalo mwake zikutanthauza maufumu anayi amene adzatuluka mʼdziko lake; koma sizidzafanana mphamvu ndi ufumu woyambawo.
Nyanga ina dzakatsiva ruya rwakavhunika dzinomirira ushe una huchabuda murudzi rwake asi hahuzovi nesimba rakaenzana.
23 “Pa masiku otsiriza a maufumuwa, machimo awo atachulukitsa, padzadzuka mfumu yaukali ndi yochenjera kwambiri.
“Panguva yokupedzisira yokutonga kwavo, vapanduki pavachanyanya kuipa, mambo ane chiso chakaomarara, mukuru wouipi, achamuka.
24 Idzakhala yamphamvu kwambiri koma osati mphamvu za iyo yokha. Idzawononga koopsa ndipo idzapambana mu chilichonse chimene idzachite. Mfumuyi idzawononga anthu amphamvu ndi anthu oyera omwe.
Achava nesimba kwazvo, asi risiri simba rake chairo. Achakonzera kuparadzwa kunoshamisa uye achabudirira pane zvose zvaanoita. Achaparadza varume vane simba navanhu vatsvene.
25 Chifukwa cha kuchenjera kwake chinyengo chidzachuluka pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wake, ndipo idzadzikuza kuposa onse. Pamene oyera mtima adzaona ngati kuti ali otetezedwa, iyo idzawononga ambiri ndi kuwukira ngakhale Mfumu ya mafumu. Komabe idzawonongedwa, koma osati ndi mphamvu za munthu.
Achaita kuti kunyengera kubudirire, uye achazviona somunhu wapamusoro. Achaparadza vazhinji pavanofunga kuti vagarika uye achamukirawo Muchinda wamachinda. Asi zvazvo achazoparadzwa, asi kwete nesimba romunhu.
26 “Masomphenya okhudza madzulo ndi mmawa amene unawaona aja ndi woona, koma uwasunge masomphenyawa mwachinsinsi popeza ndi onena za masiku a mʼtsogolo kwambiri.”
“Chiratidzo chamadekwana nechamagwanani chakapiwa kwauri ndechechokwadi, asi vanza chiratidzo icho, nokuti ndechenguva inouya.”
27 Ine Danieli ndinafowoka ndipo ndinadwala masiku angapo. Kenaka ndinadzuka ndi kupitiriza ntchito za mfumu. Ndinada nkhawa ndi masomphenyawo; ndipo sindinathe kuwamvetsa.
Ini, Dhanieri, ndakapera simba ndikarwara kwamazuva mazhinji. Ipapo ndakamuka hangu ndikandobata basa ramambo. Ndakatyiswa nechiratidzo; chakanga chisinganzwisisike.
