Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kukaJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda, kwafika uNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni eJerusalema, wayivimbezela.
2 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Nebukatnesa azampi Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimina avrentegeno azenerino, Anumzamofo ra mono nompima eri'zama eneriza zantaminena eri'ne. Ana huteno erino Babiloni vuno, havi anumza'amofo mono nompima fenozama nentazafi omente'ne.
INkosi yasinikela uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda esandleni sakhe, lengxenye yezitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu; wasezisa elizweni leShinari, endlini kankulunkulu wakhe; waletha izitsha endlini yenotho kankulunkulu wakhe.
3 Ana huteno kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a, agri nompima eri'zama eneriza vahete'ma ugotama huno kegavama hu'nea ne' Aspenasina hunteno, Israeli kini ne'mofo nagapinti'ene Juda kva vahe'mokizmi nagapintira,
Inkosi yasikhuluma kuAshipenazi induna yabathenwa bayo, ukuthi alethe abanye kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, lakunzalo yesikhosini, lakuziphathamandla;
4 vunka kasefa vahe'ma zamafuhe zamafahe'ma osu'nesiane, hiranto zamavugosa huzmante'nesiane knare antahi'zampima avite'nesazane, maka antahintahi'zama rempi hu'za antahi'zantema knare hu'nesazane, maka nanekema ame hu'za antahiama'ma nehu'za, kini ne'mofo nompima eri'zama eri antahi'zama ani'ma hu'nesnaza nahezaverami, ome zamavarenka enka Babiloni vahe'mokizmi zamagerura rempi hunezaminka, avoma kreno hampri'zana rempi huzamio huno hunte'ne.
amajaha okungelalasici kuwo, amahle ngesimo, azingcwethi kuyo yonke inhlakanipho, alolwazi ngolwazi, alokuqedisisa ekwazini, lokwakulamandla kuwo okuma esigodlweni senkosi, lokuthi bawafundise izincwadi lolimi lwamaKhaladiya.
5 Nehuno kini nemo'a huno, Maka zupa nagri nompinti knare zantfama hu'nea ne'zane waini tinena negahaze huno huzmante'ne. Ana nahezaveramina 3'a kafufi rempia huzamitesnage'za, henka ufre'za kini ne'mofo eri'zana erigahaze.
Inkosi yasiwamisela into yosuku ngosuku lwayo esabelweni sokudla kwenkosi, lewayinini lokunatha kwayo, lokuthi bawakhulise iminyaka emithathu, ukuze ekupheleni kwayo azekuma phambi kwenkosi.
6 Ana vahe amunompina, Juda naga'nofipinti nehazaveramina, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma, Azariaki hu'za mani'naze.
Njalo kwakukhona phakathi kwabo kubantwana bakoJuda: ODaniyeli, uHananiya, uMishayeli, loAzariya.
7 Hanki ugota kva ne' Aspenesa'a ana nagara ru zamagima ante zami'neana amanahu hu'ne. Danielinkura Belsasa'e nehuno, Hananiankura Setraki'e nehuno, Misaelinkura Misaki'e nehuno, Azariankura Abetnego'e huno zamagia antezami'ne.
Njalo induna yabathenwa yabatha amabizo; ngoba yamutha uDaniyeli ngokuthi nguBeliteshazari; loHananiya ngokuthi nguShadraki; loMishayeli ngokuthi nguMeshaki; loAzariya ngokuthi nguAbedinego.
8 Hianagi Danieli'a Anumzamofo avure'ma agra'ama azeri pehenama hu'zanku, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zane waini tinema negahazema huno'ma hia nanekegura Aspenasina antahigeno, knare natresankena kini ne'mofo nompintira ne'zana onegahuo huno antahige'ne.
Kodwa uDaniyeli wazimisela enhliziyweni yakhe ukuthi angazingcolisi ngesabelo sokudla kwenkosi, langewayini yokunatha kwayo; ngakho wacela enduneni yabathenwa ukuthi angazingcolisi.
9 Hanki anante Anumzamo'a Aspenasi agu'afina asunku'za antentegeno, Danielina asunku hunenteno aza hunaku hu'ne.
UNkulunkulu wasemnika uDaniyeli umusa lesihawu phambi kwenduna yabathenwa.
10 Hianagi Aspenasi'a amanage huno Danielina asami'ne. Nagra kini nekura koro nehue. Na'ankure agra'a huhamprino e'inahu e'inahu ne'zane tinena negahaze huno huhampri'ne. Ana hu'neankino tamagri tamavufgamo'a hariri huno, mago'a tamagranema e'naza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga gna'ma osanigeno'a, kini ne'mo'a nananke rukafrigahie.
Induna yabathenwa yasisithi kuDaniyeli: Ngiyayesaba inkosi yami, inkosi, emise ukudla kwenu lokunathwayo kwenu; ngoba kungani izabona ubuso benu budanile kulamajaha ayintanga yenu? Ngokunjalo lizafaka ikhanda lami engozini enkosini.
11 Anante kini ne'mo'a huntegeno, Danielima, Hananiama, Misaelinema, kegavama huzmante'nea ne' Aspenasi'a mago eri'za ne' huntegeno Danieli'a amanage huno asami'ne.
UDaniyeli wasesithi kumphathi, induna yabathenwa eyayimmise waba phezu kwaboDaniyeli, uHananiya, uMishayeli, loAzariya:
12 Muse hugantoanki eri'za vahekamota avame antenka, 10ni'a knamofo agu'afina, hozafi ne'zane, kasefa tine tamigeta namneno.
Ake ulinge inceku zakho insuku ezilitshumi; njalo basinike okwemibhida eyimidumba ukuthi sidle, lamanzi ukuthi sinathe.
13 Hagi 10ni'a knama evutesigenka, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga negenka, tagri tavufga negenka hutenka, henka nazano kagri eri'za vahe'motama hurante'naku'ma hanana zana amne hugahane.
Kakuthi-ke izimo zethu zibonakale phambi kwakho, lezimo zamajaha adla isabelo sokudla kwenkosi; wenze-ke ezincekwini zakho njengokubona kwakho.
14 Higeno anama kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a anagema haza nanekerera mago arimpa nehuno, 10ni'a knafi avamera anteno zamage'ne.
Wasebalalela kuloludaba, wabalinga insuku ezilitshumi.
15 Hagi 10ni'a knama evutegeno'a, kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a zamageana, Danieline 3'a nagamokizmi zamavufagamo'a masavenke huno knare zantfa nehuno, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazaveramina zamagatere'ne.
Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezilitshumi izimo zabo zabonakala zizinhle njalo zizimukile enyameni kulawo wonke amajaha ayesidla isabelo sokudla kwenkosi.
16 Ana higeno kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a, knare'nare ne'zane waini tinema zamio huno'ma kini ne'mo'ma hu'neana netreno, hozafi ne'zane kasefa tine zamino vu'ne.
Ngakho-ke umphathi wasusa isabelo sokudla kwabo, lewayini lokunatha kwabo, wabanika imibhida.
17 Hanki Danieline ana 3'a nehazave nagara Anumzamo'a antahintahi'zane ama' antahi'zanena zamige'za, avontafepima ruzahu ruzahu nanekema krente'nazana rempi huvagare'za ana maka antahi'naze. Ana nehazageno ruzahu ruzahu avanagna zane, ava'namofo agafa'a eriama hu antahi'zana Anumzamo'a Danielina ami'ne.
Mayelana lala amajaha amane, uNkulunkulu wawanika ulwazi lokuqedisisa kuzo zonke izincwadi, lenhlakanipho. Njalo uDaniyeli waqedisisa ngayo yonke imibono lamaphupho.
18 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knama ante'nea knamo'a ehanatigeno, kini nemo'a ana nehazaveramina zamavareta efreho huno higeno, kini ne'mofo eri'za vahete kva ne' Aspenasi'a zamavareno kini ne' Nebukatnesa avuga vu'ne.
Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku inkosi eyayitshilo ukuthi bazawangenisa ngazo, induna yabathenwa yawangenisa phambi kukaNebhukadinezari.
19 Ana higeno kini ne'mo'ma ana nehazaveraminema keagama huno zamageana, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma Azari'enema hazankna vahera magore huno omanine. Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a zamavarentege'za agri'ma antahintahima ami' eri'za vahe mani'naze.
Inkosi yasikhuluma lawo; njalo phakathi kwawo wonke kakutholwanga onjengoDaniyeli, uHananiya, uMishayeli, loAzariya; ngakho ema phambi kwenkosi.
20 Kini ne'mo'ma ana 4'a nehazaveramima, knare antahintahine, ama' antahi'zanku'ma zamantahigeno'ma keana, maka Babiloni mopafima antahi'zane vahe'ene, kagu'vazama erifore'ma nehaza vahe'ene, zagoma neraza vahe'ene kini ne'mofoma antahi'zama nemiza vahera razampi ruzmagatere'naze.
Mayelana lazo zonke izindaba zenhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, inkosi eyayiwabuza ngazo, yawathola esedlula ngokuphindwe katshumi bonke abalumbi lezangoma abasembusweni wayo wonke.
21 Hagi Danieli'a ana eri'zama'a erino nevigeno vuno, Sairusi'ma erigafa huno Babiloni kinima mania kafure uhanati'ne.
Njalo uDaniyeli waba khona kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wokuqala wenkosi uKoresi.
