1 Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Belishazaru nĩarugithĩirie andũ ake ngiri ĩmwe arĩa maarĩ igweta iruga inene, nake akĩnyuuanĩra ndibei nao.
Inkosi uBhelishazari wenzela izikhulu zakhe ezizinkulungwane idili elikhulu, wanatha lazo iwayini.
2 Rĩrĩa Belishazaru aanyuuaga ndibei yake, agĩathana ikombe cia thahabu na cia betha, iria ithe Nebukadinezaru aatahĩte akaruta hekarũ-inĩ Jerusalemu, irehwo nĩgeetha mũthamaki, na andũ ake arĩa maarĩ igweta, na atumia ake na thuriya ciake manyue nacio.
Kwathi uBhelishazari enatha iwayini lakhe walaya ukuthi kulethwe izitsha zegolide lezesiliva ezazithethwe nguyise uNebhukhadineza ethempelini eJerusalema, efuna ukuthi inkosi, lezikhulu zayo, labafazi bayo kanye labafazi bayo beceleni banathele kuzo.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩrehe ikombe icio cia thahabu iria ciatahĩtwo ikarutwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai kũu Jerusalemu. Nake mũthamaki, na andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta, na atumia ake, na thuriya ciake makĩnyua nacio.
Yikho baziletha izitsha zegolide ezazithethwe ethempelini likaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, kwasekusithi inkosi lezikhulu zayo kanye labafazi bayo beceleni banathela kuzo.
4 Nao maanyuuaga ndibei, makĩgoocaga ngai cia thahabu, na cia betha, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, na cia mahiga.
Bathi belinatha iwayini babelokhu bedumisa onkulunkulu begolide labesiliva, labethusi, labensimbi, labezigodo labamatshe.
5 Na rĩrĩ, o rĩmwe hakĩoneka ciara cia guoko kwa mũndũ ikĩandĩka rũthingo-inĩ rwa nyũmba ĩyo ya ũthamaki hakuhĩ na mũtĩ ũrĩa wa kũigĩrĩra tawa. Nake mũthamaki akĩona guoko kũu gũkĩandĩka.
Masinyane nje kwavela iminwe yesandla somuntu yaloba emdulini eduzane loluthi lwesibane esigodlweni. Inkosi yasibukela isandla siloba.
6 Nake mũthamaki agĩthita gĩthiithi na akĩmaka mũno, nginya maru make makĩgũthana, na akĩremwo nĩkũrũgama na magũrũ make.
Ubuso bayo bahloba, yethuka amadolo ayo aze atshayana, imilenze yathamba yathi wohlo phansi.
7 Mũthamaki akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga aragũri, na arori a njata, na arathi a mohoro mareehwo nake akĩĩra andũ acio oogĩ a Babuloni atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩthoma maandĩko maya na anjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, nĩekũhumbwo nguo cia rangi wa ndathi, na ekĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, na nĩegũtuuo mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũyũ.”
Inkosi yamemeza yathi kakubizwe izangoma lezingcazi zezinkanyezi kanye lezanuse yasisithi kuwo la amadoda ayizihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, “Loba ngubani ongabala umbhalo lo angitshele ukuthi utshoni uzagqokiswa eziyibubende agqiziswe iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe, njalo uzaphiwa isikhundla sesithathu sokuba ngumbusi kulelilizwe.”
8 Nao andũ a mũthamaki arĩa oogĩ othe magĩtoonya kuo, no matiahotire gũthoma maandĩko macio kana kwĩra mũthamaki ũrĩa moigĩte.
Zasezingena zonke izihlakaniphi. Kodwa zehluleka ukuwubala umbhalo lokutshela inkosi ukuthi utshoni.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Belishazaru agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmaka, na gĩthiithi gĩake gĩgĩthita makĩria. Andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa mangĩĩka.
Ngakho inkosi uBhelishazari yathuthumela okwedlulayo, ubuso bayo bahloba. Izikhulu zayo zadideka.
10 Mũtumia wa mũthamaki rĩrĩa aiguire inegene rĩa mũthamaki na andũ acio ake maarĩ igweta agĩtoonya nyũmba ĩyo yarĩ na iruga. Akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki, ũrotũũra nginya tene! Tiga kũmaka o na kana ũtukie gĩthiithi nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũyũ!
Indlovukazi yathi isizwa amazwi enkosi lezikhulu zayo yeza yangena endlini yedili. Yathi, “Oh nkosi, mana njalo. Ungethuki! Ungaze wahloba kanjalo!
11 Ũthamaki-inĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũkoragwo na roho wa ngai iria theru thĩinĩ wake. Matukũ-inĩ ma thoguo-rĩ, nĩonekire arĩ na meciiria marĩ na ũtaũku na ũmenyi o ta wa ngai icio. Thoguo, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru, (ndĩrakwĩra ũhoro wa thoguo mũthamaki, ) nĩamũtuire mũnene wa aragũri, na arori a njata, na arathi a mohoro.
Kulomuntu embusweni wakho olomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele phakathi kwakhe. Ngesikhathi sikayihlo watshengisa ukuqonda, lokukhalipha lenhlakanipho okufana lokwabonkulunkulu. Uyihlo, inkosi uNebhukhadineza yambeka ukuba yinduna yabomasalamusi, lezangoma, lezingcazi zezinkanyezi lezanuse.
12 Mũndũ ũcio Danieli, na nĩwe mũthamaki eetire Beliteshazaru, nĩonekire arĩ na meciiria makuũku, na ũmenyo, na ũtaũku, o na ningĩ ũhoti wa gũtaũra irooto, na gũtaarĩria ndaĩ, na gũtuithania maũndũ marĩa maritũ. Tũmana Danieli etwo na nĩegũkwĩra ũrĩa maandĩko macio moigĩte.”
Indoda le, uDanyeli, inkosi eyayimbiza ngokuthi nguBhelitheshazari, wabonakala elengqondo evukileyo, lolwazi lokuzwisisa, njalo elamandla okuhumutsha amaphupho, lokuchaza amalibho kanye lokuhlahlula izinkinga ezinzima. Mbize uDanyeli, uzakutshela ukuthi umbhalo utshoni.”
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Danieli akĩrehwo mbere ya mũthamaki, nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Danieli, ũmwe wa andũ arĩa baba, ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki aarehire gũkũ matahĩtwo kuuma Juda?
Ngakho uDanyeli walethwa phambi kwenkosi, inkosi yathi kuye, “Wena unguye uDanyeli na, omunye wabathunjwa abalethwa ngubaba inkosi bevela koJuda?
14 Nĩnjiguĩte atĩ ũrĩ na roho wa ngai iria theru thĩinĩ waku na atĩ ũrĩ na ũtaũku, na ũhoti wa gwĩciiria na ũũgĩ wa mwanya.
Sengizwile ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu uphakathi kwakho lokuthi ulokuqonda, lokukhalipha lenhlakanipho eyinqaba.
15 Andũ arĩa oogĩ na aragũri nĩmekũrehetwo harĩ niĩ mathome maandĩko maya manjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, no matinahota kũmataarĩria.
Izihlakaniphi lezangoma zilethwe kimi ukuthi zingibalele umbhalo lo, zingitshele ukuthi utshoni, kodwa zehlulekile ukuwuchaza.
16 Rĩu nĩnjiguĩte atĩ wee no ũhote gũtaũra na kũhĩngĩcanũra maũndũ marĩa maritũ. Ũngĩhota gũthoma maandĩko maya na ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte-rĩ, nĩũkũhumbwo nguo ya rangi wa ndathi, na wĩkĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, na ũtuuo mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũyũ.”
Manje sengizwile ukuthi wena ulamandla okutsho ingcazelo lokuhlahlula izinkinga ezinzima. Aluba ungawubala umbhalo lo uphinde ungitshele ukuthi utshoni, uzagqokiswa eziyibubende, ugqiziswe leketane legolide entanyeni yakho, uphinde ubekwe esikhundleni sokuba ngowesithathu ebukhulwini bombuso lo.”
17 Nake Danieli agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Iheo icio ciaku ikara nacio arĩ we, namo marĩhi maku ũmahe mũndũ ũngĩ. No o na gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩngũthomera mũthamaki maandĩko macio, na ndĩmwĩre ũrĩa moigĩte.
UDanyeli wasephendula inkosi wathi, “Ungazigcinela lezozipho zakho, uphe leyomivuzo yakho omunye umuntu. Loba kunjalo ngizayibalela inkosi umbhalo lowo ngiyitshele ukuthi utshoni.
18 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩaheire thoguo Nebukadinezaru wathani, na ũnene, na riiri, na ũkaru.
Yebo kambe nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uyihlo uNebhukhadineza ubukhosi lobukhulu lodumo kanye lenkazimulo.
19 Nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũtũgĩria ũguo-rĩ, andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na andũ a mĩario yothe nĩmainainaga marĩ mbere yake na makamwĩtigĩra. Andũ arĩa mũthamaki angĩendire mooragwo nĩamooragithagia; arĩa angĩendire kũhonokia mĩoyo yao, nĩamahonokagia; arĩa angĩendire gũtũũgĩria, nĩamatũgagĩria; nao arĩa angĩendire kũnyiihia, nĩamanyiihagia.
Ngenxa yesikhundla esiphezulu amnika sona, bonke abantu kanye lezizwe zonke labantu bendimi zonke babemqhuqha, bemesaba. Labo inkosi eyafuna ukubabulala, yababulala; labo eyafuna ukubaxolela, yabaxolela; labo eyafuna ukubakhweza ezikhundleni yabakhweza; kwathi labo eyafuna ukubayangisa, yabayangisa.
20 No rĩrĩa ngoro yake yanyiitirwo nĩ mwĩgaatho na akĩũmio ngoro nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, nĩarutirwo gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene na akĩaũrwo riiri wake.
Kodwa kwathi lapho inhliziyo yayo isilobuqholo, isilukhuni ngokuzigqaja yethulwa esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi yaphucwa udumo lwayo.
21 Akĩingatwo akĩeherio kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na akĩgarũrwo akĩgĩa na meciiria ta ma nyamũ, agĩtũũrania na njagĩ cia werũ-inĩ, na akĩrĩa nyeki ta ngʼombe; naguo mwĩrĩ wake waihũgagio nĩ ime riumĩte igũrũ, nginya rĩrĩa aamenyire atĩ Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩwe wathaga mothamaki ma andũ, na nĩwe ũmaheanaga kũrĩ o ũrĩa angĩenda kũhe.
Yaxotshwa ebantwini yaphiwa ingqondo yenyamazana; yahlala labobabhemi beganga, yadla utshani njengezinkomo; lomzimba wayo wagxanxwa ngamazolo omkhathi yaze yavuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke nguye uThixo phezu kwemibuso yabantu, abeke phezu kwayo loba nguphi umbusi amthandayo.
22 “No wee nawe Belishazaru, mũrũ-we-rĩ, ndũigana kwĩnyiihia, o na gũkorwo nĩwooĩ maũndũ macio mothe.
Kodwa wena ndodana yayo, awu Bhelishazari, kawuzithobanga, lokuba ukwazi konke lokhu.
23 Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, wee nĩwĩnenehetie makĩria, ũgakararia Mwathani-wa-Igũrũ. Wetirie ikombe iria ciarutĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ yake, ũkĩreherwo, nawe na andũ aku arĩa marĩ igweta, na atumia aku na thuriya ciaku, mũkĩnyua ndibei nacio. Na inyuĩ mũkĩgooca ngai cia betha na cia thahabu, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, o na cia mahiga, iria itoonaga, kana ikaigua, kana igakũũrana ũndũ. No rĩrĩ, wee ndũigana gũtĩĩa Ngai ũrĩa ũgwete muoyo waku guoko-inĩ gwake, na akamenya mĩthiĩre yaku yothe.
Endaweni yalokho, uzimisele ukumelana loThixo wezulu. Wathi kakuthathwe izitsha zethempeli layo zilethwe kuwe, kwasekusithi wena lezikhulu zakho, labafazi bakho kanye labafazi bakho beceleni lanathela iwayini kuzo. Wadumisa onkulunkulu besiliva legolide, abethusi, lensimbi, lezigodo lamatshe, abangaboniyo, labangezwayo labangaqedisisiyo. Kodwa kawumhloniphanga uNkulunkulu ophethe ukuphila kwakho kanye lezindlela zakho zonke esandleni sakhe.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma guoko kũu gũũke kwandĩke maandĩko macio.
Kungakho ethumele lesosandla esalobe lumbhalo.
25 “Maandĩko macio mandĩkĩtwo maroiga ũũ: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
Nanku umbhalo obulotshiwe: mene, mene, thekheli, pharisini.
26 “Naguo ũtaũri wa ciugo ici nĩguo ũyũ:
Nanku okutshiwo ngamagama la: Mene: Nkulunkulu usezibalile insuku zokubusa kwakho, usekuqedile.
27 TEKEL nĩ ta kuuga: Wee nĩũthimĩtwo na ratiri, ũkoneka nĩũtigairie.
Thekheli: Usulinganisiwe esikalini wafunyanwa ulula.
28 PERES nĩ ta kuuga: Ũthamaki waku nĩ mũgayanie, ũkaheanwo kũrĩ Amedi na Aperisia.”
Pharisini: Umbuso wakho usuhlukaniswe phakathi, wabelwa amaMede lamaPhezhiya.”
29 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Belishazaru agĩatha andũ ake, nao makĩhumba Danieli nguo ya rangi wa ndathi, na agĩĩkĩrwo kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo, naguo ũhoro wake ũkĩmenyithanio atĩ nĩwe mwathani wa gatatũ ũthamaki-inĩ ũcio.
Kwathi ngomlayo kaBhelishazari uDanyeli wagqokiswa eziyibubende, wagqiziswa iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe, kwamenyezelwa ukuthi usengumbusi wesikhundla sobuthathu elizweni.
30 Ũtukũ o ro ũcio, Belishazaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩũragwo,
Ngabona lobobusuku uBhelishazari, inkosi yamaBhabhiloni wabulawa,
31 nake Dario ũrĩa Mũmedia akĩoya ũthamaki ũcio, arĩ na ũkũrũ ta wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩĩrĩ.
kwathi uDariyu umuMede wabuthatha ubukhosi eleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lambili.
