1 Kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a amanage huno avona kreteno, atregeno maka vahetegane, kokankoka mopafima nemaniza vahetegane, ru zamageru ru zamageru'ma neraza vahe'ma maka mopafima nemaniza vahetega vuno eno hu'ne. Maka'motarega musenkea atreramantoanki, tamarimpa frune maniho.

UNebhukadinezari inkosi, kubo bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, ezihlala emhlabeni wonke: Ukuthula kwenu kakwande!

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

Bekukuhle kimi ukuthi ngikwazise izibonakaliso lezimangaliso uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke azenze kimi.

3 Agra Anumzamo'ma tagrite'ma eri taveri'ma nehia kaguva zamo'a, ruzahu huno hankavenentake hu'ne. Ana hu'neankino Agrama kegavama hania kumamo'a vaga ore mevava huno nevanigeno, henkama forehu anante nante'ma hu'zama vanaza vahete'enena kegava huno vugahie.

Yeka ubukhulu bezibonakaliso zakhe, njalo yeka amandla ezimangaliso zakhe! Umbuso wakhe ungumbuso ongulaphakade, lokubusa kwakhe kungokwesizukulwana lesizukulwana.

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, uNebhukadinezari, ngangonwabile endlini yami, ngahluma esigodlweni sami,

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

ngabona iphupho elangesabisayo; lemicabango phezu kombheda wami, lemibono yekhanda lami kwangethusa.

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.

Ngakho umlayo wenziwa yimi wokuthi kungeniswe phambi kwami bonke abahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni, ukuze bangazise ingcazelo yephupho.

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.

Kwasekungena izanuse, izangoma, amaKhaladiya, labalumbi; ngasengikhuluma iphupho phambi kwabo, kodwa kabangazisanga ingcazelo yalo.

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,

Kodwa ngasekucineni uDaniyeli wangena phambi kwami, obizo lakhe lalinguBeliteshazari, ngokwebizo likankulunkulu wami, lokukuye umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele; ngasengikhuluma iphupho phambi kwakhe, ngisithi:

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.

Wena Beliteshazari, nduna yezanuse, ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele ukuwe, lokuthi kakulamfihlakalo leyodwa ekuhluphayo, ngitshela imibono yephupho lami engilibonileyo, lengcazelo yalo.

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.

Yayinjalo imibono yekhanda lami embhedeni wami: Ngabona, khangela-ke, isihlahla phakathi komhlaba, lobude baso babubukhulu.

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, lobude baso bafinyelela emazulwini, lokubonakala kwaso kwaze kwaba sekucineni komhlaba wonke.

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 ayemahle, lesithelo saso sasisinengi, kwakukhona kiso ukudla kwabo bonke; inyamazana zeganga zaba lomthunzi ngaphansi kwaso, lenyoni zamazulu zahlala ezingatsheni zaso, layo yonke inyama yondliwa kiso.

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

Ngabona emibonweni yekhanda lami embhedeni wami, khangela-ke, umlindi, ngitsho ongcwele, wehla evela emazulwini.

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.

Wamemeza ngamandla watsho njalo: Sigamuleni isihlahla, liqume izingatsha zaso, liphulule amahlamvu aso, lichithachithe izithelo zaso; izinyamazana kazisuke ngaphansi kwaso, lezinyoni ngasezingatsheni zaso.

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.

Lanxa kunjalo tshiyani isidindi sempande zakhe emhlabathini, langebhanti lensimbi lethusi ohlazeni lwasendle; njalo kakumanziswe ngamazolo amazulu, lesabelo sakhe kasibe kanye lezinyamazana etshanini bomhlaba.

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

Inhliziyo yakhe kayiphenduke ingabi ngeyomuntu, kayiphiwe inhliziyo yenyamazana; futhi kakwedlule phezu kwakhe izikhathi eziyisikhombisa.

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.

Loludaba lungesimemezelo sabalindi, lesilayezelo ngelizwi labangcwele; ukuze abaphilayo bazi ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa embusweni wabantu, njalo awunike loba kukubani amthandayo, amise phezu kwawo ophansi ebantwini.

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.

Leliphupho ngilibonile mina nkosi uNebhukadinezari. Wena-ke, Beliteshazari, yitsho ingcazelo yalo; ngoba bonke abahlakaniphileyo bombuso wami bengelakho ukungitshela ingcazelo; kodwa wena ulakho; ngoba umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele ukuwe.

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.

Lapho uDaniyeli, obizo lakhe lalinguBeliteshazari, wamangala kakhulu okwesikhatshana, lemicabango yakhe yamkhathaza. Inkosi yaphendula, yathi: Beliteshazari, iphupho lengcazelo yalo kakungakukhathazi. UBeliteshazari waphendula wathi: Nkosi yami, iphupho kalibe kwabakuzondayo, lengcazelo yalo kuzo izitha zakho.

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, lobude baso bafinyelela emazulwini, lokubonakala kwaso kwaze kwaba semhlabeni 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.

esimahlamvu aso ayemahle, lesithelo saso sisinengi, njalo kiso kulokudla kwabo bonke, lezinyamazana zeganga zahlala phansi kwaso, lenyoni zamazulu zahlala ezingatsheni zaso;

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.

singuwe, wena nkosi, osukhulile waba mkhulu waqina; ngoba ubukhulu bakho bukhulile, bafinyelela emazulwini, lombuso wakho ekucineni komhlaba.

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.

Njengalokho inkosi yabona umlindi, ngitsho ongcwele, esehla evela emazulwini owathi: Gamulani isihlahla lisichithe; kodwa litshiye isidindi sezimpande emhlabathini sibotshwe ngebhanti lensimbi lethusi ohlazeni lwasendle; kakumanziswe ngamazolo amazulu, lesabelo sakhe kasibe kanye lezinyamazana zeganga, kuze kwedlule izikhathi eziyisikhombisa phezu kwakhe.

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, nkosi, njalo nansi isimemezelo soPhezukonke, esiza phezu kwenkosi yami, 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.

Ukuthi bazakuxotsha ebantwini, lenhlalo yakho izakuba kanye lezinyamazana zeganga, bazakudlisa utshani njengezinkabi, bazakumanzisa ngamazolo amazulu, lezikhathi eziyisikhombisa zizadlula phezu kwakho, uze wazi ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa emibusweni yabantu, ayinike loba kukubani 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.

Njengalokho bathi kutshiywe isidindi sempande zesihlahla, umbuso wakho uzakuma kuwe, emva kokuthi ususazi ukuthi amazulu ayabusa.

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, nkosi, kasemukeleke kuwe iseluleko sami; wephule izono zakho ngokulunga, lobubi bakho ngokutshengisa isihawu kwabangabayanga, aluba kungaba lokwelulwa kokuthula kwakho.

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

Konke lokhu kwamehlela uNebhukadinezari inkosi.

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.

Ekupheleni kwenyanga ezilitshumi lambili wayehambahamba phezu kwesigodlo sombuso weBhabhiloni.

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.

Inkosi yaphendula yathi: Kayisiyo yini le iBhabhiloni enkulu mina engiyakhe ukuba yindlu yombuso, ngamandla engalo yami, njalo ibe ludumo lobukhosi bami?

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.

Ilizwi lisesemlonyeni wenkosi, kwawa ilizwi livela emazulwini lisithi: Wena nkosi Nebhukadinezari, kuyatshiwo kuwe ukuthi: Umbuso usukile kuwe.

32 Ana hanuge'za kavazu hutresagenka vahe'enena omaninka vunka afi zaga kfane umani'nenka, bulimakao afu'mozama nehazaza hunka traza negahane. Ana nehunka mani'nesnankeno 7ni'a kafumo evu agateresanigenka, kagrama kenka antahinkama hananana, Marerisa Anumzamo'a maka vahera kegava hu'neankino, izano huhampri antenaku'ma himofona huhamprinente hunka hugahane.

Bazakuxotsha usuke ebantwini, lenhlalo yakho izakuba kanye lenyamazana zeganga, bazakudlisa utshani njengezinkabi, lezikhathi eziyisikhombisa zizadlula phezu kwakho, uze wazi ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa emibusweni yabantu, ayinike loba kukubani amthandayo.

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 mani'negeno kenage'ma ata ko'ma tami'nea zamo anu azokapina hampo kine. Ana nehuno anantega mani'negeno aseni azokamo'a zaza huno, tumpamofo azokakna nehigeno, agigo azankomo'a namamofo agigogna hu'ne.

Ngalesosikhathi lolulutho lwagcwaliseka phezu kukaNebhukadinezari; wasexotshwa ebantwini, wadla utshani njengezinkabi, lomzimba wakhe wamanziswa ngamazolo amazulu, zaze inwele zakhe zakhula njengensiba zelinqe, lenzipho zakhe njengezenyoni.

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. Agra mani vava nehia Anumzankino, Agrama kegavama hania kumamo'a fore'ma hu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahetera vagaore mevava huno vugahie.

Njalo ekupheleni kwezinsuku, mina Nebhukadinezari ngaphakamisela amehlo ami emazulwini, ngoba ukuqedisisa kwami kwabuyela kimi; ngasengibusisa oPhezukonke, ngamdumisa, ngamhlonipha yena ophila phakade, ngoba ukubusa kwakhe kuyikubusa okulaphakade, lombuso wakhe ungowesizukulwana lesizukulwana;

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.

futhi bonke abahlali bomhlaba babalwa njengokungelutho, njalo wenza njengentando yakhe ebuthweni lamazulu lakubahlali bomhlaba; njalo kakho ongavimbela isandla sakhe, loba athi kuye: Wenzani?

36 Hagi anankema nehugeno'a ame huno antahintahi nimo'a ete e'ne. Ana hige'na ete kinia emani'na knare nagine hankave ni'anena ete eri'noe. Ana huge'za ko'ma antahintahima nami'naza vahe'ene, nagranema eri'zama eri'naza vahe'mo'za ete e'za nagrane emani'naze. Ana hige'na ko'ma kegavama hu'noa mopa ete kegava nehu'na, ko'ma kinima mani'nogeno'ma nagimo'ma hu'neama'a rugatereno amenagame mareri'ne.

Ngasona lesosikhathi ingqondo yami yabuyela kimi, futhi ngenxa yenkazimulo yombuso wami udumo lwami lokucwebezela kwami kwabuyela kimi; njalo abeluleki bami lezikhulu zami zangidinga; ngasengimiswa futhi embusweni wami; lobukhulu obudluleleyo bengezelelwa kimi.

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.

Khathesi, mina, Nebhukadinezari, ngiyayidumisa ngiyiphakamise ngiyihloniphe iNkosi yamazulu, ngoba imisebenzi yayo yonke iliqiniso, lezindlela zayo ziyisahlulelo; lalabo abahamba ngokuzigqaja ilakho ukubathobisa.
