Inkosi uNebhukhadineza, Ezizweni zonke lebantwini benhlanga zonke abahlala emhlabeni wonke: Sengathi inganda kini inhlalakahle!

2 Nagra menima musema nehu'na tamasamisuana, Marerisa Anumzamo'ma kaguvazane avame'zama nagrite'ma eri naveri'ma hu'nea zanku tamasamigahue.

Kuyintokozo kimi ukulitshela ngezibonakaliso ezimangalisayo lezinkinga uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke angenzele zona.

Zinkulu kangakanani izibonakaliso zakhe,

4 Nagra Nebukatnesa'na noni'afi mani so'e hu'na mani'nogeno, maka zago fenonimo'a knare zantfa hige'na muse hu'na mani'noe.

Mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngangisekhaya esigodlweni sami, nganelisiwe njalo ngikhomba ngophakathi.

5 Hianagi mago kenagera, sipa'nire masene'na avanagna zama ke'noa zamo'a, nazeri nagogofeno vu'ne.

Ngehlelwa liphupho elangitshayisa uvalo. Ngathi ngilele embhedeni wami kwafika engqondweni yami izifanekiso lezibonakaliso ezangithuthumelisayo.

6 Ana hige'na ana ava'namofo agafa'ama eme eri ama hu'za nasamisaze hu'na, Babiloni mopafima knare antahi'zane vahe'ma mani'nazarega kea atrogeno vuno eno hu'ne.

Ngasengilaya ukuthi zonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni zilethwe phambi kwami ukuthi zingihlahlulele lelophupho.

7 Anama hutoge'za kagu'vazama eri fore'ma nehaza vahe'ma, zagoma neraza vaheki, ofuntamima nehampriza vahe'ma, henkama fore'ma hania zanku'ma kasnampa kema nehaza vahe'mo'za nagrite azage'na ana ava'nama ke'noa zamofo nanekea zamasami'noe. Hianagi magomo'e huno ana ava'namofo agafa'a eri amara huno onasami'ne.

Kwathi sebefikile omasalamusi, lezangoma, lezingcazi zezinkanyezi lezanuse ngazitshela lelophupho kodwa zehluleka ukungichasisela lona.

8 Ana vahetamima evu vagaretazageno henkarfama e'neana, nagrama amage'ma nentoa havi anumzamofo agire'ma asamre'na Belsasa'e hu'na agima antemi'noa ne'mofona, ruotage'ma hu'naza anumzantamimofo avamumo agrane mani'nea ne' Danieli'a efreno nagri navuga eme otige'na,

Ekucineni uDanyeli wafika kimi ngamtshela ngephupho lelo. (Uthiwa nguBhelitheshazari, ngokuphathelene lebizo likankulunkulu wami, njalo umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele uphakathi kwakhe.)

9 ana avanama ke'noa zamofo nanekea amanage hu'na asami'noe. Belsasaga ruzahu ruzahu antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'mokizmi ugota huzmantenka kegava huzmante'nana ne' mani'nane. Nagrama antahi'noana ruotage'ma hu'naza anumzantamimofo avamumo kagripina mani'neankinka, mago zamo'a kagritera frara okisanigenka, ana maka zana eri ama huvaga regahane. Ana hu'negu nagrama ke'noa avanama menima kasamisua ava'namofo agafa'amo'a, inankna hu'nefi eri ama hunka nasamio.

Ngathi kuye, Bhelitheshazari, nduna yabomasalamusi, ngiyazi ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele uphakathi kwakho, njalo kakukho okuyinkinga kuwe. Nanti iphupho lami; ngihlahlulela lona.

10 Nagra sipa'nire mase'nena amanahu ava'na ke'noe. Ama mopamofona amu'no amu'nompina, mago tusi zankna zafa za'za huno amunagamu mareri'negena ke'noe.

Yile imibono eyangivelelayo ngilele embhedeni wami: Ngakhangela, ngabona kumi phambi kwami isihlahla phakathi komango. Ubude baso babule.

11 Hagi ana zafamo'a hagera huno hankavenentake nehuno, za'za huno onagamu monafi mareri'nege'za maka kazigama ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za ke'naze.

Isihlahla sakhula saba sikhulu saqina, isiqongo saso sakhotha umkhathi; sasibonakala lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba.

12 Ana zafamofo ani'na ramimo'a knare'zantfa huno zagasefage nehigeno ragamo'a avite'neanki'za maka mani'naza vahemo'zane zagagafamo'zanena raga'a ne'naze. Ana zafamofo tonapinka afi zagagafamo'za enemanizageno, namamo'za azankuna'afina e'za no eme ki'naze. Ana nehazage'za maka ama mopafi zagagafamo'za ana zafaretike ne'zana eme ne'naze.

Amahlamvu aso ayebukeka, izithelo zaso zinengi kuso kukhona ukudla kwakho konke. Ngaphansi kwaso izinyamazana zeganga zafumana isiphephelo lezinyoni zemoyeni zazihlala emagatsheni aso; zonke izidalwa zisongiwa kuso.

13 Hagi sipanire'ma mase'nena ana avanagna zampima kogeno'a, ruotge'ma hu'nea ankeromo mona atreno eramige'na ke'noe.

Ezibonakalisweni ezeza ngilele embhedeni wami, ngakhangela, ngabona khonapho phambi kwami kulesithunywa, singongcwele, sisehla sisuka ezulwini.

14 Ana ankeromo'a amanage huno kezati'ne. Ana zafa antagi atretma azankuna'aramina akafri akafro hunetreta, ani'na'aramina ru vatari atre vaganereta, raga'aramina eritma rupanani hutreho. Ana nehutma afi zagagafamo'zama e'za ana zafamofo tonapima emani'nazana zamorotgo nehuta, namamo'zama e'za azankuna'afima noma eme ki'za mani'nazana zamarotgo hinke'za hare'za freho.

Samemeza ngelizwi elikhulu sathi: Gamulelani phansi isihlahla licakaze amagatsha aso; liwaphundle amahlamvu aso lihlakaze izithelo zaso. Yekelani izinyamazana zibaleke ngaphansi kwaso kanye lezinyoni emagatsheni aso.

15 Hianagi ana zafamofo agafa'ane rafuna'anena tasagira osutma atrenkeno mopafi me'nena trazamo'a hageno refinetenkeno, ainireti'ene bronsireti tro hu'nesnaza seni nofi'nu anakinteho. Ana huteta atrenkeno fegi mani'nesnigeno, kenage'ma ata ko'ma tami'nia ko'mo agofetura runentesanigeno, agra afizaga kafane mani'neno trazana neno.

Kodwa akuthi isidindi saso kanye lempande zakhona kusale kugxumekile emhlabathini phakathi kotshani beganga, kubotshiwe ngensimbi langethusi. Kagxanxwe ngamazolo avela phezulu, njalo kahlale lezinyamazana phakathi kwezihlahla zeganga.

16 Hanki agra vahe antahi'zana e'orino, afi zagagafamofo antahi'za enerino mani'nesnigeno, 7ni'a kafumo'a evugateregahie.

Ingqondo yakhe kayiguqulwe isuke ebuntwini, aphiwe ingqondo yenyamazana, kuze kudlule iminyaka eyisikhombisa.

17 Ama ana nanekema eri'za eme huama'ma hu'nazana, ruotage'ma hu'naza ankeromo'za ama anazana fore hugahie hu'za huhankaveti'za eme huama hu'naze. E'ina hu'negu maka vahe'mo'zama ke'za antahi'zama hanazana, Marerisa Anumzamo maka ama mopa kegava hu'neankino, agi me'nesnia vahero, agi omne vahero amne huhampri antesnigeno kinia manigahie hu'za maka vahe'mo'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

“‘Isinqumo lesi sibikwa yizithunywa, zona ezingcwele yizo ezimemezela lesi isigwebo, ukuze kuthi abaphilayo bazi ukuthi oPhezukonke unguThixo yemibuso yabantu njalo uyabanikela loba kukubani amfunayo futhi enze babuswe ngumuntukazana.’

18 Hagi nagra kini ne' Nebukatnesa'na e'inahu ava'na ke'noanki, kagra Belsasaga ana ava'namofo agafa'a eri ama hunka nasamio. Na'ankure ruzahu ruzahu antahi'zane vahe'ma nagrama kegavama hu'noa mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za ana ava'namofo agafa'a eri amara hu'za nasamigara osu'naze. Hianagi kagra eri ama hunka nasamigahane, na'ankure ruotage'ma hu'naza anumzantamimofo avamumo kagrane mani'ne.

Yilo iphupho engibe lalo mina inkosi uNebhukhadineza. Manje-ke Bhelitheshazari, ngitshela ukuthi litshoni, ngoba kasikho isihlakaniphi embusweni wami esingangihlahlulela lona. Kodwa wena ungakwenza, ngoba umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele uphakathi kwakho.”

19 Hanki ana ava'nagema huama higeno'a, Belsasa'a ko antahintahi'afina rezaganeno antahiteno, ana zamo'a azeri koro agesa higeno, ana ava'namofo agafa'ama eri ama hu'zankura koro nehuno, osi'a knafi akoheno mani'neno antahintahi hakare hu'ne. Ana'ma higeno'a kini nemo'a amanage huno asami'ne. Belsasaga ama ana ava'nagu'ene, ana ava'namofo agafa'ama eriama hunka nasamizankura kagogogura osuo. Anage higeno Belsasa'a kini nera asamino, ama ana ava'nafima ke'nana zantamimo'a kagritera efore osanianki, kagri ha' vahete efore hanie.

Yikho uDanyeli (njalo othiwa nguBhelitheshazari) wakhathazeka kakhulu okwesikhathi esithile, imicabango yakhe yamethusa. Yikho inkosi yasisithi, “Bhelitheshazari, ungethuswa liphupho lelo kumbe yincazelo yalo.” UBhelitheshazari waphendula wathi, Nkosi yami, sengathi ngabe iphupho lelo liqonde labo abayizitha zakho lengcazelo yalo ikhomba labo abakuzondayo!

20 Hagi ava'nama ke'nampina mago zafamo'a hageno zaza huno hankavenentake huno anagamu monafi marerinegeno, ama mopafima maka kazigama mani'naza vahe'mo'za ke'naze.

Isihlahla osibonileyo, esakhula saba sikhulu saqina, isiqongo saso sikhotha isibhakabhaka size sibonakale emhlabeni wonke,

21 Hagi ana zafamofo ani'naramimo'za knare'zantfa hu'za zagasefage hu'nageno, ama mopafima mani'naza maka vahe'mo'za nesaza avamente rama'a zafa raga rente'ne. Ana zafamofo tonapinka afi zagagafamo'za enemanizage'za, namaramimo'za azankuna'afina e'za no eme ki'za mani'nazagenka ke'nane.

silamahlamvu abukekayo lezithelo ezinengi, sisipha ukudla kukho konke, siphe isiphephelo izinyamazana zeganga, emagatsheni aso silezindawo zezidleke zezinyoni zemoyeni,

22 Kini ne'moka ava'nafima ke'nana zafa, e'i kagra mani'nane. Na'ankure kagra mago hankavenentake kini efore hankeno, kagimo'a ame nagame monarega haruharu huno mareri'ne. Ana nehigenka ama mopafi vahera maka kagrake kegava huzmante'nane.

wena, Oh nkosi, uyilesosihlahla! Usube mkhulu waba lamandla; ubukhulu bakho sebandile sebuze buthinta isibhakabhaka, lombuso wakho usufinyelela ezindaweni ezikude ezomhlaba.

23 Hanki ana ava'nafima kankeno'a monafinkati mago ruotage'ma hu'nea ankeromo eramino amanage eme hu'ne. Ama ana zafa antagita eri haviza hutreho. Hianagi agafa'ane rafuna'anena tasagi huotreho. Ana nehutma ainireti'ene bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'nesaza nofi'nu erita ana zafamofo agafa'arera anakiteta atrenkeno, me'nenigeno tra'zamo hageno kagino. Ana hu'nesnigeno kenage'ma ata ko'ma rania zamo, asenirera runtetere nehina, afi zagagafane mani'nenigeno 7ni'a kafumo'a evu agatereno huno hu'ne.

“Wena, Oh nkosi, wabona isithunywa, sona esingcwele, sisehla sivela ezulwini sisithi, ‘Sigamuleleni phansi isihlahla lisicakaze, kodwa litshiye isidindi, sibotshiwe ngensimbi langethusi, siphakathi kotshani beganga, impande zaso zisale emhlabathini. Kagxanxwe ngamazolo aphezulu; kaphile njengezinyamazana zeganga kuze kudlule iminyaka eyisikhombisa.’

24 Hanki kini ne' ranimoka kagrite'ma fore hania zanku, Marerisa Anumzamo'a eme eri ama huno kaveri hu'neankino, ana ava'namofo agafa'amo'a amanahu hu'ne.

Nansi ingcazelo, Oh nkosi, njalo lesi yisimiso soPhezukonke asimisele umhlekazi wami inkosi:

25 Kagra vahe'enena omaninka atrenka vunka afi zaga kafane umanigahane. Ana nehunka 7ni'a kafumofo agu'afina, bulimakao afu'mozama nehazaza hunka traza nenesnankeno, ata ko'ma kenage'ma runte'nea zamo'a, kasenirera runtetere hugahie. Ana nehanigenka anantega mani'nenka kenka antahinka'ma hananana, Marerisa Anumzamo maka ama mopafi vahera kegava hu'neno, izano huhampri ante'naku'ma hanimofona, amne huhampri antegeno kinia nemanie hunka kenka antahinka hugahane.

Uzaxotshwa ebantwini uyehlala lezinyamazana zeganga: uzakudla utshani njengezinkomo, ugxanxwe ngamazolo aphezulu. Kuzakudlula iminyaka eyisikhombisa uze uvume ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa phezu kwemibuso yabantu ayinika ingqe ngulowo amthandayo.

26 Hianagi ankeromo'ma huno, Ana zafamofo agafa'ane rafu'nanena atrenkeno mopafima menoma huno hu'nea zamofo agu'agesamo'a amanahu hu'ne. Kagrama kenka antahinkama nehunka, monafinkama mani'nea Anumzamo Agrake maka zana kegava hu'ne hunkama hanunka, ete kinia emaninka kegava hugahane.

Umlayo wokutshiya isidindi kanye lezimpande zaso utsho ukuthi umbuso wakho uzabuyiselwa kuwe nxatshana usuvuma ukuthi iZulu liyabusa.

27 E'ina hu'negu kini ne' Nebukatnesaga amama kasamisnua knare antahi'zana eri otro. Kagrama kumi'ma nehana zana netrenka, fatgo kavukva zanke huo. Ko'ma havi kavukavazama hu'nana zana kamefi huneminka, zamunte omane vahera kasunku huzamanto. Anama hanunka knare hunka nemaninankeno, nazanoma hanana zamo'a knare zanke huno vugahie.

Ngakho-ke, Oh nkosi, kuhle ukuthi wamukele ukucebisa kwami: Yekela izono zakho wenze okulungileyo, lobubi bakho ube lomusa kwabancindezelweyo. Lapho-ke mhlawumbe ukuphumelela kwakho kungaqhubeka.”

28 Hagi ana maka zama Danieli'ma kini ne' Nebukatnesama asami'nea zamo'a agritera efore huvagare'ne.

Konke lokhu kwenzakala enkosini uNebhukhadineza.

29 Hagi henka 12fu'a ikama avutegeno'a, mago zupa Babiloni kumapina kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a noma'amofo agofetu'ma mani'neno zasi'ma eneria nonte vano hu'ne.

Sekudlule izinyanga ezilitshumi lambili, inkosi ihambahamba ephahleni lwesigodlo saseBhabhiloni,

30 Hagi agrama keganti kegamama huno Babiloni ran kuma'ma negeno'a amanage huno hu'ne. Ama agima marerisa Babiloni kumara nagra hankavereti eri fore nehu'na, avasase'ane kumara kintoankino, kinima manisnua noni'amo'a ama ana kumapi megahie. E'ina hanigeno nagimo'a vuno eno hanige'za, maka vahe'mo'za antahi vagaregahaze.

yathi, “Kakusilo yini iBhabhiloni leli engalakha laba ngumuzi wobukhosi bami na?”

31 Hianagi ana nanekema kini ne'mo'ma huvaga ore'negeno, monafinkati mago ageru'mo huno, kini ne' Nebukatnesaga ama nanekea antahio, amama kegava hu'nana mopa menina kagri kazampintira eri atroe.

Kwathi amazwi la elokhu esesemlonyeni wakhe kwehla ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi, “Nanku osukunqunyelwe, nkosi Nebhukhadineza: Amandla akho obukhosi asesusiwe kuwe.

32 Ana hanuge'za kavazu hutresagenka vahe'enena omaninka vunka afi zaga kfane umani'nenka, bulimakao afu'mozama nehazaza hunka traza negahane.

Uzaxotshwa ebantwini uyehlala lezinyamazana zeganga; uzakudla utshani njengezinkomo. Kuzadlula iminyaka eyisikhombisa uze uvume ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa phezu kwemibuso yabantu ayiphe ingqe ngubani ngokuthanda kwakhe.”

33 Hanki anante nazano Nebukatnesanku'ma ankeromo'ma hu'nea zamo'a ame huno kini ne'mofo avate fore hige'za, vahe'enena omanisnie hu'za avazuhu atrazageno vuno, afi zagagafane umani'neno bulimakaomo'zama nehazaza huno traza ne'ne.

Ana nehuno anantega mani'negeno aseni azokamo'a zaza huno, tumpamofo azokakna nehigeno, agigo azankomo'a namamofo agigogna hu'ne.

Masinyane nje okwakutshiwo ngoNebhukhadineza kwagcwaliseka. Waxotshwa ebantwini wadla utshani njengezinkomo. Umzimba wakhe wagxanxwa ngamazolo aphezulu, inwele zakhe zakhula njengezinsiba zengqungqulu, kwathi inzipho zakhe zaba njengenkumba zenyoni.

34 Hanki ana knama evu vagaretege'na nagra Nebukatnesa'na, monafinka kesga hu'na kogeno, antahi'zanimo'a ete ege'na, Marerisa Anumzamofo agia husga hu'na monora hunente'na, mani vavama nehia Anumzamofona muse hunte'noe.

Ekupheleni kwalesosikhathi, mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngaphakamisela amehlo ami ezulwini, ingqondo yami yabuya. Ngasengimdumisa oPhezukonke; ngambabaza, ngambonga yena ohlezi kuze kube phakade.

35 Maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za amne zaga mani'naze. Monafi ankeromo'zane ama mopafi vahe'mo'za Agri agorga mani'naze. Ana hu'neankino nazano hunaku'ma hania zana, amne hugahiankino mago vahe'mo'a e'inara osuo huno hunonteno, na'ante amazana nehane hunora osugahie.

Imihlobo yonke yabantu bomhlaba

37 Hanki menina nagra Nebukatnesana, monama kegava hu'nea Anumzamofona muse hunente'na, Agri agia ahentesga nehu'na, ragi amigahue. Agrama maka zama hia zamo'a fatgo huno knare zanke nehie. Ana nehuno zamavufagama erisgama nehaza vahera zamazeri fenkami netrea Anumza mani'ne.

Ngakho-ke mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngiyayidumisa njalo ngiyayibabaza, ngiyiphakamise iNkosi yezulu, ngoba konke ekwenzayo kuqondile futhi lezindlela zayo zonke zilungile. Njalo bonke abazigqajayo iyabathobisa.
