< Daniyel 6 >

1 Ya gamshi Dariyus ya naɗa muƙaddasai 120 su yi shugabanci a duk fāɗin masarautar,
Kwaba kuhle kuDariyusi ukubeka phezu kombuso iziphathamandla ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili, ukuthi zibe phezu kombuso wonke,
2 ya naɗa mutum uku a bisa waɗannan muƙaddasan, Daniyel yana ɗaya daga cikin mutum ukun nan. Sai aka sa muƙaddasan nan a ƙarƙashin waɗannan uku ɗin domin kada sarki ya yi hasarar kome.
laphezu kwazo ababonisi abathathu, uDaniyeli aba ngowokuqala kubo; ukuthi leziziphathamandla zilandise kubo, njalo inkosi ingabi lomonakalo.
3 To, Daniyel dai ya yi ficce a cikin shugabannin nan uku har da muƙaddasan ma, saboda waɗansu halaye nagari da yake da su, wanda ya sa sarki ya yi shiri ya ɗora shi a kan dukan mulkinsa.
Lapho uDaniyeli lo wenza ngcono kulababonisi leziphathamandla, ngoba umoya owedlulisileyo wawukuye. Njalo inkosi yacabanga ukumbeka phezu kombuso wonke.
4 A kan haka, shugabannin nan uku da muƙaddasan nan suka yi ƙoƙari su sami wani laifi a kan Daniyel a yadda yake tafiyar da aikin shugabancinsa, amma ba su samu ba. Ba su same shi da wani laifin cin hanci ba, domin shi amintacce ne kuma babu wani aibi a kansa ko rashin kula.
Lapho ababonisi leziphathamandla badinga ukuthola ithuba bemelene loDaniyeli mayelana lombuso; kodwa bengelakho ukuthola ithuba kumbe insolo; ngoba wayethembekile, futhi kungelampambaniso kumbe insolo okwatholakala kuye.
5 A ƙarshe waɗannan mutane suka ce; “Ba za mu taɓa samun wani laifin da za mu kama Daniyel da shi ba, sai dai ko abin ya shafi dokar Allahnsa.”
Lapho lawomadoda athi: Kasiyikuthola thuba ngaye lo uDaniyeli ngaphandle kokuthi silithole limelene laye emlayweni kaNkulunkulu wakhe.
6 Saboda haka shugabannin nan suka haɗu da muƙaddasan nan suka tafi wurin sarki a ƙungiyance suka ce, “Ya Sarki Dariyus, ranka yă daɗe!
Lapho labobabonisi leziphathamandla babuthana ndawonye enkosini, batsho kanje kuyo: Dariyusi nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini!
7 Shugabannin masarauta, da masu mulki, da muƙaddasai, da mashawarta da gwamnoni duk sun amince cewa sarki yă kafa doka yă kuma yi umarni cewa a cikin kwana talatin nan gaba duk wanda ya yi addu’a ga wani allah ko mutum, in ba a gare ka ba, ya sarki, jefa shi cikin kogon zakoki.
Bonke ababonisi bombuso, izinduna, leziphathamandla, abeluleki, lababusi bacebisa ukumisa umthetho wesikhosini, lokwenza isimiso esiqinileyo, ukuthi loba ngubani ozacela isicelo lakuwuphi unkulunkulu loba umuntu phakathi kwezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu ngaphandle kuwe, nkosi, uzaphoselwa ebhalwini lwezilwane.
8 Yanzu, ya sarki, sai ka yi umarni ka kuma yi shi a rubuce saboda kada a canja shi, bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, waɗanda ba a iya sokewa.”
Khathesi, nkosi, misa umlayo uphawule umbhalo, ukuthi ungaguqulwa, njengokomthetho wamaMede lamaPerisiya, ongadluliyo.
9 Sai Sarki Dariyus ya ba da umarnin a rubuce.
Ngakho inkosi uDariyusi yaphawula umbhalo lesimiso.
10 To, da Daniyel ya ji labarin cewa an fitar da doka, sai ya tafi gidansa a ɗakinsa na sama inda tagogin ɗakin suke duban wajen Urushalima. Sau uku yakan durƙusa yă yi addu’a yana yin godiya ga Allahnsa, kamar yadda ya saba yi.
Kwathi lapho uDaniyeli asesazi ukuthi umbhalo uphawuliwe, wangena endlini yakhe; njalo amawindi ekamelo lakhe eliphezulu elikhangele eJerusalema evulekile; waguqa ngamadolo akhe izikhathi ezintathu ngosuku, wakhuleka, wapha izibongo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wakhe, njengokwenza kwakhe mandulo kwalokhu.
11 Sai waɗannan mutane suka tafi a ƙungiyance suka kuma iske Daniyel yana addu’a yana roƙon Allah yă taimake shi.
Lapho la amadoda abuthana, athola uDaniyeli ekhuleka encenga phambi kukaNkulunkulu wakhe.
12 Sai suka tafi wurin sarki suka yi masa magana game da dokar mulkinsa, suka ce, “Ashe, ba ka yi doka cewa a cikin kwana talatin nan gaba duk wanda aka tarar yana addu’a ga wani allah ko mutum in ba kai ba, ya sarki, za ka jefa shi a cikin ramin zakoki ba?” Sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Dokar tana nan daram bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, waɗanda ba a iya sokewa.”
Lapho asondela, akhuluma phambi kwenkosi mayelana lesimiso senkosi athi: Kawuphawulanga isimiso yini, sokuthi wonke umuntu ocela lakuwuphi unkulunkulu loba umuntu phakathi kwezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu ngaphandle kuwe, nkosi, uzaphoselwa ebhalwini lwezilwane? Inkosi yaphendula yathi: Linto iliqiniso, ngokomthetho wamaMede lamaPerisiya ongadluliyo.
13 Sai suka ce wa sarki, “Daniyel ɗin nan, wanda yake ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda aka kwaso daga Yahuda, bai kula da kai ba, ya sarki, balle fa dokar da ka yi. Har yanzu yana addu’a sau uku a rana.”
Lapho aphendula athi phambi kwenkosi: UDaniyeli ongowabantwana bokuthunjwa bakoJuda kakunanzi, nkosi, lesimiso osiphawulileyo, kodwa uyakhuleka isicelo sakhe izikhathi ezintathu ngosuku.
14 Da sarki ya ji haka, sai ya damu sosai, ya ƙudura yă ceci Daniyel, ya yi ta fama har fāɗuwar rana yadda zai yi yă kuɓutar da shi.
Kwathi lapho inkosi isizwile lelilizwi, yazizondela kakhulu, yabeka ingqondo kuDaniyeli ukumkhulula; yebo, yalwisa laze latshona ilanga ukumophula.
15 Sai mutanen nan suka je wurin sarki a ƙungiyance suka ce masa, “Ka tuna, ya sarki; cewa bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, babu umarni ko dokar da sarki ya yi da za a iya sokewa.”
Lapho abuthana enkosini lawomadoda, athi enkosini: Yazi, nkosi, ukuthi umthetho wamaMede lamaPerisiya uthi: Kakulasimiso kumbe umthetho inkosi eyawumisayo ongaguqulwa.
16 Saboda haka sai sarki ya ba da umarni suka kuma kawo Daniyel suka jefa shi cikin ramin zakoki. Sarki ya ce wa Daniyel, “Bari Allahn nan wanda kake bauta masa kullum, yă cece ka!”
Lapho inkosi yalaya, bamletha uDaniyeli, bamphosela ebhalwini lwezilwane. Inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: UNkulunkulu wakho, omkhonzayo njalonjalo, kungathi angakukhulula!
17 Aka kawo dutsen aka rufe bakin ramin, sa’an nan sarki ya hatimce shi da zobensa da kuma zoban manyan mutanensa, don kada wani yă canja yanayin Daniyel.
Kwasekulethwa ilitshe, labekwa phezu komlomo wobhalu; inkosi yasilinameka ngendandatho elophawu lwayo, langendandatho elophawu lwamakhosi ayo, ukuze kungaguqulwa ulutho mayelana loDaniyeli.
18 Sa’an nan sarki ya koma fadarsa ya kwana bai ci ba, kuma babu wata liyafar da aka kawo masa. Ya kuma kāsa barci.
Lapho inkosi yaya esigodlweni sayo, yachitha ubusuku izila ukudla; lamachacho kawalethwanga phambi kwayo; lobuthongo bayibalekela.
19 Gari yana wayewa, sai sarki ya tashi ya hanzarta zuwa ramin zakoki.
Lapho inkosi yavuka emadabukakusa, yaya ngokuphangisa ebhalwini lwezilwane.
20 Da ya yi kusa da ramin zakokin, sai ya kira Daniyel da muryar mai cike da damuwa ya ce, “Daniyel bawan Allah mai rai, ko Allahn nan naka wanda kake bauta wa kullum, ya iya cetonka daga zakoki?”
Yathi isisondele ebhalwini, yamemeza ngelizwi lokulila kuDaniyeli; inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: Daniyeli, nceku kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uNkulunkulu wakho omkhonzayo njalonjalo, ulakho ukukukhulula yini ezilwaneni?
21 Sai Daniyel ya amsa ya ce, “Ran sarki, yă daɗe!
Lapho uDaniyeli wathi enkosini: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini!
22 Allahna ya aiko da mala’ikansa, ya kuwa rufe bakunan zakoki. Ba su yi mini rauni ba, gama an same ni marar laifi ne a gabansa. Ban kuwa taɓa yin wani abu marar kyau a gabanka ba, ya sarki.”
UNkulunkulu wami uthumile ingilosi yakhe, yavala imilomo yezilwane, okokuthi kazingilimazanga, ngoba phambi kwakhe ukungabi lecala kutholakale kimi; njalo phambi kwakho, nkosi, kangenzanga bubi.
23 Sai sarki ya cika da murna ƙwarai, ya kuma yi umarni a ciro Daniyel daga ramin zakoki. Kuma da aka fito da Daniyel daga ramin, ba a sami wani rauni a jikinsa ba, domin ya dogara ga Allahnsa.
Lapho inkosi yamthokozela kakhulu, yalaya ukukhuphula uDaniyeli ebhalwini. UDaniyeli wasekhutshulwa ebhalwini, kakwatholwa kulimala kuye, ngoba ekholwe kuNkulunkulu wakhe.
24 Sai sarki ya umarta, a kawo mutanen nan da suka yi wa Daniyel maƙarƙashiya, a tura su, da’ya’yansu, da matansu cikin ramin zakoki. Kafin ma su kai ƙurewar ramin, sai zakoki suka hallaka su suka yayyage su, suka yi kaca-kaca da su.
Inkosi yasilaya, kwasekulethwa lawomadoda ayehlebe uDaniyeli, bawaphosela ebhalwini lwezilwane, wona, abantwana bawo, labomkawo; kwathi bengakafiki phansi ebhalwini, izilwane zazibusa phezu kwabo, zachoboza wonke amathambo abo.
25 Sa’an nan Sarki Dariyus ya rubuta wa dukan mutane, da al’ummai da kuma mutanen dukan harsunan a duk fāɗin ƙasar. “Bari yă yi nasara sosai!
Lapho inkosi uDariyusi yabalela bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, ezihlezi emhlabeni wonke, yathi: Kakwandiswe ukuthula kwenu.
26 “Na fitar da doka cewa a cikin dukan iyakar ƙasar mulkina, dole mutane su ji tsoro su kuma girmama Allah na Daniyel.
Umlayo wenziwa yimi, ukuthi kukho konke ukubuswa kombuso wami bathuthumele besabe phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaDaniyeli; ngoba enguNkulunkulu ophilayo, lomi kuze kube nininini, lombuso wakhe ngongayikuchithwa, lokubusa kwakhe kuzakuba khona kuze kube sekupheleni.
27 Yakan kuɓutar ya kuma ceci;
Uyakhulula, ophule, enze izibonakaliso lezimangaliso emazulwini lemhlabeni, osekhulule uDaniyeli emandleni ezilwane.
28 Daniyel kuwa ya bunkasa a lokacin mulkin Dariyus da kuma mulkin Sairus na Farisa.
Ngakho uDaniyeli lo waphumelela embusweni kaDariyusi, lembusweni kaKoresi umPerisiya.
