1 Atĩrĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Belishazaru nĩarugithĩirie andũ ake ngiri ĩmwe arĩa maarĩ igweta iruga inene, nake akĩnyuuanĩra ndibei nao.
UBelishazari inkosi wenzela iziphathamandla zakhe eziyinkulungwane idili elikhulu, wanatha iwayini phambi kwaleyonkulungwane.
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.
UBelishazari, esalinambitha iwayini, walaya ukuthi balethe izitsha zegolide lezesiliva uyise uNebhukadinezari ayezikhuphe ethempelini elaliseJerusalema; ukuze inkosi, leziphathamandla zayo, omkayo, labafazi bayo abancane, banathele kizo.
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.
Lapho baletha izitsha zegolide ezazikhutshwe ethempelini lendlu kaNkulunkulu eyayiseJerusalema; njalo inkosi, leziphathamandla zayo, omkayo, labafazi bayo abancane, banathela kizo.
4 Nao maanyuuaga ndibei, makĩgoocaga ngai cia thahabu, na cia betha, na cia gĩcango, na cia kĩgera, na cia mĩtĩ, na cia mahiga.
Banatha iwayini, badumisa onkulunkulu begolide, labesiliva, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe.
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.
Ngalesosikhathi kwaphuma iminwe yesandla somuntu, yabhala maqondana lesiqobane sesibane phezu kokubhadiweyo komduli wesigodlo senkosi; inkosi yasibona inhlanekela yesandla esasibhala.
6 Nake mũthamaki agĩthita gĩthiithi na akĩmaka mũno, nginya maru make makĩgũthana, na akĩremwo nĩkũrũgama na magũrũ make.
Khonokho ukucwebezela kobuso benkosi kwaphenduka, lemicabango yayo yayihlupha, kwaze kwaxega amalunga okhalo lwayo, lamadolo ayo atshayana.
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 ngamandla ukuthi balethe izangoma, amaKhaladiya, labalumbi. Inkosi yaphendula, yathi kwabahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni: Wonke umuntu ongafunda lumbhalo, angitshengise ingcazelo yawo, uzagqokiswa okuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe, abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
8 Nao andũ a mũthamaki arĩa oogĩ othe magĩtoonya kuo, no matiahotire gũthoma maandĩko macio kana kwĩra mũthamaki ũrĩa moigĩte.
Lapho bangena bonke abahlakaniphileyo benkosi; kodwa babengelakho ukuwubala umbhalo, lokwazisa inkosi ingcazelo yawo.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Belishazaru agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmaka, na gĩthiithi gĩake gĩgĩthita makĩria. Andũ ake acio maarĩ igweta makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa mangĩĩka.
Lapho inkosi uBelishazari yethuka kakhulu, lokucwebezela kobuso bayo kwaphenduka kuyo, leziphathamandla 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, ngenxa yamazwi enkosi leziphathamandla zayo, yangena endlini yedili. Indlovukazi yaphendula yathi: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini! Imicabango yakho kayingakwethusi, lokucwebezela kobuso bakho kakungaphenduki.
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 okulomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele kuye; ngoba ensukwini zikayihlo kwatholwa kuye ukukhanya lokuqedisisa lenhlakanipho, njengenhlakanipho yabonkulunkulu; ngakho inkosi uNebhukadinezari uyihlo wamenza waba yinduna yezanuse, yezangoma, yamaKhaladiya, yabalumbi, uyihlo, nkosi.
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.”
Ngoba umoya owedlulisileyo, lolwazi, lokuqedisisa, ukuchasisa amaphupho, lokuchasisa imizekeliso, lokutshombulula amafindo, kwatholakala kuye, kuDaniyeli, inkosi eyamutha ibizo elithi uBeliteshazari. Khathesi kabizwe uDaniyeli, uzatshengisa ingcazelo.
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?
Lapho uDaniyeli walethwa phambi kwenkosi; inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: UngulowoDaniyeli, ongowabathunjwa bakoJuda, inkosi ubaba eyabaletha bevela koJuda yini?
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 ngawe ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu ukuwe, lokuthi ukukhanya, lokuqedisisa, lenhlakanipho edlulisileyo kutholakala kuwe.
15 Andũ arĩa oogĩ na aragũri nĩmekũrehetwo harĩ niĩ mathome maandĩko maya manjĩĩre ũrĩa moigĩte, no matinahota kũmataarĩria.
Khathesi sebengenisiwe phambi kwami abahlakaniphileyo, izangoma, ukuze bawufunde lumbhalo, bangazise ingcazelo yawo; kodwa bebengelakho ukutshengisa ingcazelo yalinto.
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.”
Kodwa mina ngizwile ngawe, ukuthi ulakho ukuchasisa izingcazelo, lokutshombulula amafindo. Khathesi uba ulakho ukufunda lumbhalo, ungazise ingcazelo yawo, uzagqokiswa okuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakho, ube ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
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.
Lapho uDaniyeli waphendula wathi phambi kwenkosi: Izipho zakho kazibe ngezakho, lemivuzo yakho uyinike omunye. Loba kunjalo ngizayifundela inkosi umbhalo, ngiyazise ingcazelo.
18 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩaheire thoguo Nebukadinezaru wathani, na ũnene, na riiri, na ũkaru.
Wena nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uNebhukadinezari uyihlo umbuso, lobukhulu, lodumo, 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.
Langenxa yobukhulu amnika bona, bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, bathuthumela besaba phambi kwakhe; lowo ayethanda wambulala, lalowo ayethanda wamgcina ephila, lalowo ayethanda wamphakamisa, lalowo ayethanda wamehlisela phansi.
20 No rĩrĩa ngoro yake yanyiitirwo nĩ mwĩgaatho na akĩũmio ngoro nĩ mwĩtĩĩo, nĩarutirwo gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene na akĩaũrwo riiri wake.
Kodwa lapho inhliziyo yakhe yaziphakamisa, lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lukhuni ngokuzigqaja, wehliswa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi sombuso, bamthathela udumo lwakhe.
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.
Wasexotshwa ebantwaneni babantu, lenhliziyo yakhe yenziwa yafanana leyenyamazana, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala yaba labobabhemi beganga; bamdlisa utshani njengenkabi, lomzimba wakhe waba manzi ngamazolo amazulu, waze wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke uyabusa embusweni wabantu, lokuthi umisa phezu kwawo loba ngubani amthandayo.
22 “No wee nawe Belishazaru, mũrũ-we-rĩ, ndũigana kwĩnyiihia, o na gũkorwo nĩwooĩ maũndũ macio mothe.
Wena-ke, ndodana yakhe, Belishazari, kawuyithobisanga inhliziyo yakho, lanxa ukwazile 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.
Kodwa uziphakamisile wamelana leNkosi yamazulu; njalo baletha izitsha zendlu yayo phambi kwakho; wena-ke, leziphathamandla zakho, omkakho, labafazi bakho abancane, lanathela kuzo iwayini; udumisile onkulunkulu besiliva, labegolide, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe, abangaboniyo labangezwayo, labangaziyo; kodwa uNkulunkulu omphefumulo wakho usesandleni sakhe, lozindlela zakho zonke zingezakhe, kawumdumisanga.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma guoko kũu gũũke kwandĩke maandĩko macio.
Khonokho le inhlanekela yesandla yathunywa ivela kuye; lumbhalo wasubhalwa.
25 “Maandĩko macio mandĩkĩtwo maroiga ũũ: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
Njalo nanku umbhalo owabhalwayo: MENE, MENE, TEKELI, UFARISINI.
26 “Naguo ũtaũri wa ciugo ici nĩguo ũyũ:
Nansi ingcazelo yalolulutho: MENE: UNkulunkulu ubalile umbuso wakho, wawuqeda.
27 TEKEL nĩ ta kuuga: Wee nĩũthimĩtwo na ratiri, ũkoneka nĩũtigairie.
TEKELI: Ulinganisiwe esilinganisweni, watholwa usilela.
28 PERES nĩ ta kuuga: Ũthamaki waku nĩ mũgayanie, ũkaheanwo kũrĩ Amedi na Aperisia.”
UPERESI: Umbuso wakho wehlukanisiwe, wanikwa amaMede lamaPerisiya.
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.
Lapho uBelishazari walaya, basebemgqokisa uDaniyeli ngokuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe, basebememezela ngaye ukuthi abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
30 Ũtukũ o ro ũcio, Belishazaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩũragwo,
Ngalobobusuku uBelishazari inkosi yamaKhaladiya wabulawa.
31 nake Dario ũrĩa Mũmedia akĩoya ũthamaki ũcio, arĩ na ũkũrũ ta wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩĩrĩ.
UDariyusi umMede wasesemukela umbuso, eleminyaka phose engamatshumi ayisithupha lambili.
