< Daniel 4 >

1 Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el supwalik sap soko inge nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac kain kas nukewa fin faclu, su fahk ouinge: “Paing kowos!
UNebhukadinezari inkosi, kubo bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, ezihlala emhlabeni wonke: Ukuthula kwenu kakwande!
2 Porongo ma nga ac fahk ke ouiya sakirik ac usrnguk su God Fulatlana El akkalemye nu sik.
Bekukuhle kimi ukuthi ngikwazise izibonakaliso lezimangaliso uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke azenze kimi.
3 “Fuka yokiyen ma usrnguk God El ikasla nu sesr! Fuka lupan kuiyen mwenmen ma El oru! God El tokosra nwe tok ma pahtpat. El ac fah leum fin ma nukewa in pacl nukewa!
Yeka ubukhulu bezibonakaliso zakhe, njalo yeka amandla ezimangaliso zakhe! Umbuso wakhe ungumbuso ongulaphakade, lokubusa kwakhe kungokwesizukulwana lesizukulwana.
4 “Nga, Nebuchadnezzar, tuh muta arulana misla inkul sik, ac insewowokin kasrup luk.
Mina, uNebhukadinezari, ngangonwabile endlini yami, ngahluma esigodlweni sami,
5 Tusruktu nga tuh oru sie mweme na aksangeng, ac liye kutu aruruma su nga arulana tuninfongla kac ke nga motul.
ngabona iphupho elangesabisayo; lemicabango phezu kombheda wami, lemibono yekhanda lami kwangethusa.
6 Nga tuh sapkin in utukeni mwet kasru fulat nukewa in acn Babylon elos in tuh fahkma nu sik kalmen mweme sac.
Ngakho umlayo wenziwa yimi wokuthi kungeniswe phambi kwami bonke abahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni, ukuze bangazise ingcazelo yephupho.
7 Na mwet susfa, mwet inutnut, mwet mwenmen, ac mwet lutlut ke ma oan yen engyeng uh nukewa utukeni, ac nga fahkang nu selos mweme se luk ah, a elos tia ku in aketeya nu sik.
Kwasekungena izanuse, izangoma, amaKhaladiya, labalumbi; ngasengikhuluma iphupho phambi kwabo, kodwa kabangazisanga ingcazelo yalo.
8 Na Daniel el utyak. (Itukyang pac inel Belteshazzar, tuh elan us inen god se luk.) Ngunin god mutal uh oan in el, na nga fahkak mweme se luk ah nu sel. Nga fahk ouinge nu sel:
Kodwa ngasekucineni uDaniyeli wangena phambi kwami, obizo lakhe lalinguBeliteshazari, ngokwebizo likankulunkulu wami, lokukuye umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele; ngasengikhuluma iphupho phambi kwakhe, ngisithi:
9 “Belteshazzar, su fulat inmasrlon mwet susfa uh, nga etu lah ngunin god mutal uh oan in kom, ac kom etu ma lukma nukewa. Pa inge mweme se luk uh. Fahkma lah mea kalmac uh.
Wena Beliteshazari, nduna yezanuse, ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele ukuwe, lokuthi kakulamfihlakalo leyodwa ekuhluphayo, ngitshela imibono yephupho lami engilibonileyo, lengcazelo yalo.
10 “Ke nga tuh motul ah, nga arurumai soko sak na lulap su tu infulwen faclu.
Yayinjalo imibono yekhanda lami embhedeni wami: Ngabona, khangela-ke, isihlahla phakathi komhlaba, lobude baso babubukhulu.
11 Sak soko inge kap na kap nwe ke na sun acn elucng, ac mwet faclu nufon ku in liye.
Isihlahla sakhula saba sikhulu, saqina, lobude baso bafinyelela emazulwini, lokubonakala kwaso kwaze kwaba sekucineni komhlaba wonke.
12 Sra kac uh arulana kato, ac fahko kac arulana ungung, fal in kiteya mwet faclu nufon. Kosro lemnak uh mongla ye lulin sak uh, won uh orala ahng lalos ke lesak uh, ac kain in ma moul nukewa mongo ke fokin sak soko inge.
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 “Ke nga srakna nunku ke aruruma se inge, nga liye sie mwet na mutal oatume inkusrao me, su arulana liyaten in ma nukewa.
Ngabona emibonweni yekhanda lami embhedeni wami, khangela-ke, umlindi, ngitsho ongcwele, wehla evela emazulwini.
14 Ac el fahkak ke sie pusra lulap, ‘Pakiya sak soko an, ac wotela lah kac an; yolla sra kac, ac sisalik fahko an. Lusak kosro ingan liki ye sak soko an, ac won uh liki lesak an.
Wamemeza ngamandla watsho njalo: Sigamuleni isihlahla, liqume izingatsha zaso, liphulule amahlamvu aso, lichithachithe izithelo zaso; izinyamazana kazisuke ngaphansi kwaso, lezinyoni ngasezingatsheni zaso.
15 Ac filiya sruen sak sacn in oanna infohk uh, ac loseni ke mwe lohl orekla ke osra iron ac bronze. Filiya in oanna ke mah inima uh. “‘Na lela aunfong uh in sroksrokkinya mwet se inge, ac lela elan muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh, ac sak inima uh.
Lanxa kunjalo tshiyani isidindi sempande zakhe emhlabathini, langebhanti lensimbi lethusi ohlazeni lwasendle; njalo kakumanziswe ngamazolo amazulu, lesabelo sakhe kasibe kanye lezinyamazana etshanini bomhlaba.
16 Ke lusen yac itkosr el ac fah tia nunak oana mwet uh, a el ac nunak oana kosro uh.
Inhliziyo yakhe kayiphenduke ingabi ngeyomuntu, kayiphiwe inhliziyo yenyamazana; futhi kakwedlule phezu kwakhe izikhathi eziyisikhombisa.
17 Pa inge ma lipufan liyaten ac asmak uh wotela uh. Ke ma inge lela mwet in acn nukewa in etu lah oasr ku lun God Fulatlana fin tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in eisalosyang nu sin kutena mwet ma El lungse eisalosyang nu se — finne mwet ma pilesreyuk oemeet uh.’”
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 Ac Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el fahk, “Pa inge mweme se luk ah. Inge, Belteshazzar, fahkma lah mea kalmac uh. Wangin sie sin mwet kasru luk inge ku in akkalemye nu sik, a kom ku mweyen ngunin god mutal uh oan in kom.”
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 Ke ma inge, Daniel su oayapa pangpang Belteshazzar, el arulana lut ac koflana fahk kutena ma. Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Belteshazzar, nimet lela mweme sac, ku kalmen mweme sac in akfohsye kom.” Belteshazzar el topuk ac fahk, “O Tokosra, nga kena tuh mweme sac ac aketeya kac uh in ma nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, ac in tia ma nu sum.
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 Sak soko ma arulana fulat ac sun acn elucg ingan, ku in liyeyuk sin mwet nukewa fin faclu.
Isihlahla osibonileyo, esakhula saba sikhulu saqina, lobude baso bafinyelela emazulwini, lokubonakala kwaso kwaze kwaba semhlabeni wonke,
21 Sra kac uh arulana kato, ac fahko uh ku in kiteya mwet fin faclu nufon. Kosro lemnak uh mongla ye lulin sak soko ah, ac won uh orek ahng ke lesak uh.
esimahlamvu aso ayemahle, lesithelo saso sisinengi, njalo kiso kulokudla kwabo bonke, lezinyamazana zeganga zahlala phansi kwaso, lenyoni zamazulu zahlala ezingatsheni zaso;
22 “O Tokosra, kom pa sak soko ma arulana fulat ac fokoko inge. Kom kapak nwe arulana fulat, oru kom sun acn elucng, ac ku lom uh fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon.
singuwe, wena nkosi, osukhulile waba mkhulu waqina; ngoba ubukhulu bakho bukhulile, bafinyelela emazulwini, lombuso wakho ekucineni komhlaba.
23 Ke Tokosra srakna intoein ma inge, lipufan se oatui inkusrao me ac fahk, ‘Pakiya sak soko an ac kunausla, tusruk filiya srua an in oanna. Loseni ke sie mwe lohl ma orekla ke osra iron ac bronze, ac filiya in oanna ke mah inima uh. Lela aunfong uh in sroksrokkinya mwet se inge, ac lela elan mutana inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh ke yac itkosr.’
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 “O Tokosra, pa inge kalmen mweme sac, ac pa inge ma God Fulatlana El fahk mu ac sikyak nu sum uh.
Nansi ingcazelo, nkosi, njalo nansi isimemezelo soPhezukonke, esiza phezu kwenkosi yami, inkosi:
25 Ac fah lillilyak kom liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kom fah muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh. Ke lusen yac itkosr kom ac fah mongo mah oana soko ox, ac motul inima uh, yen kom ac aksroksrokyeyuk ke aunfong uh. Tukun ma inge, kom ac fah fahk lah pwaye God Fulatlana El nununku tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in sang tokosrai nu sin kutena mwet El lungse sang nu se.
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 Lipufan sac tuh sapkin mu sruen sak sac in fili in oanna infohk uh. Kalmac pa kom ac sifilpa tokosrala tukun kom akilenak lah God El leumi faclu nufon.
Njengalokho bathi kutshiywe isidindi sempande zesihlahla, umbuso wakho uzakuma kuwe, emva kokuthi ususazi ukuthi amazulu ayabusa.
27 Ke ma inge, O Tokosra, oru oana ma nga ac fahk nu sum uh. Nimet kom sifil oru ma koluk, a oru ma wo ac kulang nu sin mwet sukasrup. Kom fin oru ouinge, na ac srakna wo ouiyom.”
Ngakho, nkosi, kasemukeleke kuwe iseluleko sami; wephule izono zakho ngokulunga, lobubi bakho ngokutshengisa isihawu kwabangabayanga, aluba kungaba lokwelulwa kokuthula kwakho.
28 Ma inge nukewa sikyak nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar.
Konke lokhu kwamehlela uNebhukadinezari inkosi.
29 Malem na singoul luo tukun ma inge, ke el forfor fin acn lucng ke lohm sel in Babylon,
Ekupheleni kwenyanga ezilitshumi lambili wayehambahamba phezu kwesigodlo sombuso weBhabhiloni.
30 el fahk, “Liye oaskuiyen acn Babylon! Nga musaela tuh in pa siti fulat in tokosrai luk, in akkalemye wal, ku, wolana, ac fulatlana luk.”
Inkosi yaphendula yathi: Kayisiyo yini le iBhabhiloni enkulu mina engiyakhe ukuba yindlu yombuso, ngamandla engalo yami, njalo ibe ludumo lobukhosi bami?
31 Soenna safla ma el fahk uh, na sie pusra kasla inkusrao me ac fahk, “Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, porongo ma nga ac fahk uh! Inge wal in tokosra lom itukla liki kom.
Ilizwi lisesemlonyeni wenkosi, kwawa ilizwi livela emazulwini lisithi: Wena nkosi Nebhukadinezari, kuyatshiwo kuwe ukuthi: Umbuso usukile kuwe.
32 Ac fah lisyukyak kom liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kom fah muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak, ac mongo mah oana soko ox ke lusen yac itkosr. Tukun pacl sacn, na kom ac fah akilenak lah pwaye oasr ku lun God Fulatlana fin tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in sang tokosrai uh nu sin kutena mwet El lungse sang nu se.”
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 In kitin pacl ah na kas inge akpwayeiyuk. Nebuchadnezzar el lisyukyak liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac mongo mah oana soko ox. Aunfong uh aksroksrokye manol, ac unac kacl uh loeselik oana unen eagle uh, ac tokinpaol loes oana tokinnien won uh.
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 Tokosra el fahk, “Ke safla yac itkosr ah, nga ngetak nu inkusrao ac sifil kalemak nunak luk. Nga kaksakin God Fulatlana, ac sang sunak ac wolana nu sel su moul nwe tok. “El fah leumi ma nukewa nwe tok ma pahtpat, Ac ac fah wangin safliyen tokosrai lal.
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 El ngeta liye mwet fin faclu oana ma lusrongten; Lipufan inkusrao ac mwet fin faclu Muta ye ku lal. Wangin sie mwet ku in lain lungse lal. Ku kusen siyuk ke ma El oru.
futhi bonke abahlali bomhlaba babalwa njengokungelutho, njalo wenza njengentando yakhe ebuthweni lamazulu lakubahlali bomhlaba; njalo kakho ongavimbela isandla sakhe, loba athi kuye: Wenzani?
36 “Ke pacl ma sifil kalemak nunak luk, na folokinyukme sunak, wal fulat luk ac wolana nukewa lun tokosrai luk. Mwet pwapa fulat luk ac mwet leum elos paingyu, ac wal fulat luk folokinyukme yohk liki na meet ah.
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 “Ac inge, nga, Nebuchadnezzar, sunakin, kaksakin, ac akfulatye Tokosra in Kusrao. Ma nukewa El oru uh pwaye ac suwohs, ac El ku in akpusiselyela kutena mwet su inse fulat in orekma lal.”
Khathesi, mina, Nebhukadinezari, ngiyayidumisa ngiyiphakamise ngiyihloniphe iNkosi yamazulu, ngoba imisebenzi yayo yonke iliqiniso, lezindlela zayo ziyisahlulelo; lalabo abahamba ngokuzigqaja ilakho ukubathobisa.
