Danyeri 2

1 Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Nebukadduneeza, Nebukadduneeza n’aloota ekirooto; ne yeeraliikirira nnyo, n’otulo ne tumubula.

Nebukadnessar adedie mfeɛ mmienu so, ɔsosoo daeɛ bi ma ɛhaa no ara kɔsii sɛ, na ɔntumi nna.

2 Awo kabaka n’atumya abasawo, n’abafumu, n’abalaguzi n’Abakaludaaya okumutegeeza ekirooto kye yaloota. Ne bajja ne bayimirira mu maaso ga kabaka.

Ɔfrɛɛ ne nkonyaayifoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, ntafowayifoɔ ne Kaldeafoɔ bisaa wɔn sɛ, wɔnkyerɛ no daeɛ ko no. Wɔbɛgyinaa ɔhene no anim no,

3 N’abagamba nti, “Naloota ekirooto ekimbuzizza otulo, njagala mukintegeeze n’amakulu gaakyo.”

ɔkaa sɛ, “Maso daeɛ bi a ɛha me, enti mepɛ sɛ monkyerɛ me daeɛ ko a mesoeɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ mehunu.”

4 Awo Abakaludaaya ne baddamu kabaka mu lulimi Olusuuli nti, “Ayi kabaka, owangaale emirembe gyonna! Buulira abaddu bo ekirooto, nabo banaakunnyonnyola amakulu gaakyo.”

Na Kaldeafoɔ no buaa no wɔ Arameike kasa mu sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so! Ka daeɛ no kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛkyerɛ aseɛ.”

5 Kabaka n’addamu Abakaludaaya nti, “Kino kye nsazeewo; bwe mutantegeeze kirooto ekyo, n’amakulu gaakyo, nzija kulagira mutemebwetemebwe, era n’amayumba gammwe gamenyebwemenyebwe.

Nanso, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Kaldeafoɔ no sɛ, “Yei ne gyinaeɛ a masi wɔ asɛm yi ho. Sɛ moantumi anka me daeɛ no, na moankyerɛ me aseɛ a, wɔbɛtwitwa mo mu asinasini, na wɔbɛbubu mo afie, ama afu wira.

6 Kyokka bwe munaantegeeza ekirooto n’amakulu gaakyo, nnaabawa ebirabo, n’empeera, n’ekitiibwa kinene. Noolwekyo mumbuulire ekirooto n’amakulu gaakyo.”

Na sɛ moka me daeɛ no, kyerɛ me aseɛ a, mɛma mo akyɛdeɛ a ɛso bi mmaa da, na mabɔ mo aba so. Monka daeɛ no, na monkyerɛ me aseɛ.”

7 Ne bamuddamu nate nti, “Tubuulire ekirooto kyo, tusobole okukubuulira amakulu gaakyo.”

Wɔkaa bio sɛ, “Yɛsrɛ wo, Nana, ka daeɛ no kyerɛ wʼasomfoɔ, na yɛbɛkyerɛ wo aseɛ.”

8 Awo kabaka n’addamu nti, “Ntegeeredde ddala nga mwagala kufuna bbanga ddene, kubanga mutegedde nga kye nsazeewo mmaliridde okukikola,

Ɔhene no buaa sɛ, “Mahunu mo nnaadaa no. Mahunu sɛ, moretwentwɛn ɛberɛ no so, na monim gyinaeɛ a masi asɛm a mekaeɛ no ho.

9 era bwe mutantegeeze kirooto, ekibonerezo kiri kimu kyokka. Mwekobaanye okunnimba n’okumbuulira ebigambo ebikyamu, nga munsuubira okukyusa ku ndowooza yange. Kale nno, muntegeeze ekirooto, munnyinnyonnyole n’amakulu gaakyo.”

Sɛ moanka daeɛ no ankyerɛ me a, asotwe baako pɛ na ɛda hɔ ma mo. Moapam sɛ mobɛdi atorɔ adaadaa me. Mosusu sɛ asɛm no bɛsesa. Monka daeɛ no nkyerɛ me, na ɛbɛma mahunu sɛ mobɛtumi akyerɛ aseɛ.”

10 Abakaludaaya ne baddamu kabaka nti, “Tewali muntu n’omu ku nsi ayinza okukola kabaka ky’asaba. Ate era tewabangawo kabaka ne bw’aba w’amaanyi atya oba wa buyinza atya, eyali asabye omulaguzi yenna newaakubadde omufumu yenna newaakubadde Omukaludaaya yenna ekintu ng’ekyo.

Kaldeafoɔ no buaa Ɔhene no sɛ, “Onipa teasefoɔ biara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi akyerɛ wo, Nana, wo daeɛ a woaso no. Na ɔhene biara nso nni hɔ, sɛ ɔkorɔn anaa ne tumi so, a wabisa nkonyaayifoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ anaa Kaldeafoɔ saa asɛm yi bi pɛn.

11 Kabaka ky’asaba kizibu nnyo. Tewali n’omu ayinza kukibikkulira kabaka, wabula bakatonda abatalina mubiri ogwa bulijjo.”

Ɔhene abisadeɛ yi yɛ den dodo. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi aka wo daeɛ no gye anyame. Nanso, wɔn tenabea nni ewiase yi mu.”

12 Ekigambo ekyo ne kisunguwaza nnyo kabaka, kyeyava alagira abagezigezi bonna mu Babulooni okuttibwa.

Ɔhene no tee saa asɛm yi no, ne bo fuu yie, enti ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkunkum anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia nyinaa.

13 Ekiragiro ne kiyita okutta abagezigezi bonna, era ne wabaawo abasajja abaatumibwa okunoonya Danyeri ne mikwano gye okubatta.

Na ɛsiane ɔhene no mmara den sɛ wɔnkunkum anyansafoɔ no enti, wɔsomaa mmarima sɛ wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Daniel ne ne nnamfonom, na wɔnkunkum wɔn.

14 Awo Danyeri n’asisinkana Aliyooki omuduumizi w’abakuumi ba kabaka, bwe yali ng’agenda okutta abagezigezi ab’e Babulooni; n’ayogera naye mu magezi n’obukalabakalaba,

Ɛberɛ a, Ariok a ɔyɛ ɔhene no awɛmfoɔ so panin baa sɛ ɔrebɛkum wɔn no, Daniel faa nyansakwan so ne no kasaeɛ.

15 n’amubuuza nti, “Kyavudde ku ki kabaka okuwa ekiragiro eky’obukambwe bwe kityo?” Aliyooki n’annyonnyola Danyeri ensonga eyavaako ekyo.

Daniel bisaa Ariok sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɔhene hyɛɛ mmara a ano yɛ den saa?” Na Ariok kaa deɛ asi nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.

16 Awo Danyeri n’alaga eri kabaka, n’asaba aweebwe ekiseera okwogera ne kabaka, alyoke amutegeeze amakulu g’ekirooto.

Daniel kɔhunuu Ɔhene no, na ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma no berɛ kakra na ɔbɛba abɛkyerɛ daeɛ no ase.

17 Awo Danyeri n’addayo ewuwe, n’ategeeza mikwano gye Kananiya, ne Misayeri ne Azaliya,

Na Daniel kɔɔ ne fie kɔbɔɔ ne nnamfonom Hanania, Misael ne Asaria asɛm a asie.

18 n’abagamba basabe Katonda ow’eggulu abalage ekisa ababikkulire amakulu ag’ekyama ekyo, ye ne banne baleme kuzikirizibwa wamu n’abagezigezi abalala ab’e Babulooni.

Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔmmisa ɔsoro Onyankopɔn sɛ, ɔnnom wɔn nʼahummɔborɔ sɛdeɛ wɔrenkum wɔn mfra anyansafoɔ nkaeɛ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no mu.

19 Mu kiro ekyo Danyeri n’afuna okwolesebwa ku kigambo ekyo, n’atendereza Katonda ow’eggulu.

Anadwo no, ɔdaa kɔkoamsɛm no adi kyerɛɛ Daniel wɔ anisoadehunu mu. Na Daniel kamfoo ɔsoro Onyankopɔn

20 N’ayogera nti, “Erinnya lya Katonda litenderezebwenga emirembe n’emirembe, kubanga amagezi n’obuyinza bibye.

na ɔkaa sɛ, “Nkamfoɔ nka Onyankopɔn din daa nyinaa, ɔno nko na ɔwɔ nyansa ne tumi.

21 Ategeera ebiseera n’ebiro; assaawo bakabaka era aggyawo bakabaka; awa amagezi abagezigezi, era n’okumanyisa abo abategeevu.

Ɔno na ɔsesa mmerɛ ne nnipa hyɛberɛ; ɔsi ahene, na ɔtu wɔn adeɛ so. Ɔma anyansafoɔ hunu nyansa, na ɔma nhunumu ho nimdeɛ.

22 Abikkula ebyama ebyakisibwa edda; amanyi ebifa mu nzikiza, n’ekitangaala kibeera naye.

Ɔda nneɛma a emu dɔ na ɛyɛ nwanwa adi, na ɔnim deɛ ahinta wɔ sum mu; hann atwa ne ho ahyia.

23 Nkwebaza era nkutendereza, Ayi Katonda wa bajjajjange ompadde amagezi n’amaanyi, ombikkulidde ekyo kye twakusabye, otutegeezezza ekirooto kya kabaka.”

Meda wo ase, kamfo wo mʼagyanom Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, woama me nyansa ne tumi; woaka deɛ yɛbisaa wo akyerɛ me, ada deɛ ɔhene bisaeɛ no adi akyerɛ yɛn.”

24 Awo Danyeri n’alaga eri Aliyooki, kabaka gwe yali alonze okuzikiriza abasajja abagezigezi aba Babulooni, n’amugamba nti, “Tozikiriza basajja bagezigezi ba Babulooni. Ntwala eri kabaka mmutegeeze amakulu g’ekirooto kye.”

Afei, Daniel kɔhunuu Ariok a wɔahyɛ no sɛ ɔnkunkum anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nkunkum anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Babilonia no. Fa me kɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn, na mɛkyerɛ no ne daeɛ no ase.”

25 Amangwago, Aliyooki n’atwala Danyeri eri kabaka, n’ategeeza kabaka nti, “Nsanze omusajja, omu ku baawaŋŋangusibwa okuva mu Yuda, asobola okutegeeza kabaka amakulu g’ekirooto kye.”

Na ntɛm ara, Ariok de Daniel kɔɔ ɔhene no anim kaa sɛ, “Mahunu atukɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Yuda no mu baako a ɔbɛkyerɛ wo, Nana, daeɛ no ase.”

26 Kabaka n’abuuza Danyeri eyayitibwanga Berutesazza nti, “Oyinza okuntegeeza ekirooto kye nalabye, n’amakulu gaakyo?”

Ɔhene no bisaa Daniel (a wɔsane frɛ no Beltesasar) no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ? Wobɛtumi akyerɛ me deɛ mehunuu wɔ me daeɛ no mu na woakyerɛ me aseɛ?”

27 Danyeri n’addamu kabaka nti, “Tewali muntu mugezigezi, newaakubadde omufumu, newaakubadde omulaguzi, newaakubadde omulogo asobola okutegeeza kabaka ekigambo kye yasabye.

Daniel buaa sɛ, “Nana, anyansafoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, nkonyaayifoɔ anaa ntafowayifoɔ biara nni hɔ a wɔbɛtumi akyerɛ ahintasɛm a worebisa yi!

28 Waliwo Katonda ow’omu ggulu annyonnyola abantu ebitategeerekeka. Abikkulidde Kabaka Nebukadduneeza ebigenda okubaawo mu nnaku ez’enkomerero. Ekirooto n’okwolesebwa bye wafuna nga weebase bye bino.

Nanso, Onyankopɔn bi wɔ ɔsoro a ɔda kɔkoamsɛm adi, na wakyerɛ ɔhene Nebukadnessar asɛm a ɛbɛsi daakye. Wo daeɛ no ne anisoadehunu a ɛberɛ a woda wo mpa so no wohunuiɛ nie:

29 “Bwe wali ng’ogalamidde mu kitanda kyo, ayi kabaka omutima gwo ne gutandika okulowooza ku bintu ebiribaawo, era oyo abikkula ebigambo ebitategeerekeka bantu abaabulijjo, yakulaze ebigenda okubaawo.

“Nana, ɛberɛ a woreda no, wʼadwene kɔsisii nsɛm bi a ɛbɛsisi so. Deɛ ɔkyerɛ ahintasɛm mu no akyerɛ wo deɛ ɛrebɛba.

30 Naye ekigambo kino ekitategeerekeka bantu abaabulijjo kimbikkuliddwa, si lwa kuba nga ndi mugezi okusinga abantu abalala bonna, naye nkifunye bwe ntyo, kabaka ategeere amakulu gaakyo, era otegeere ebirowoozo bye wafuna mu mutima gwo.

Na ɛnnyɛ sɛ, Nana, menim nyansa kyɛn onipa teasefoɔ biara enti, na mmom Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ Nana nya ahintasɛm no asekyerɛ na ɔte deɛ ɛbaa nʼadwene mu no ase.

31 “Watunula, ayi kabaka, era laba, mu maaso go nga wayimiriddewo ekifaananyi ekinene. Ekifaananyi ekyo kyali kinene nnyo, nga kimasamasa nnyo nnyini era nga kya ntiisa.

“Nana, wʼanisoadehunu no mu, wohunuu ohoni kɛseɛ bi sɛ ɔgyina wʼanim a ɔso pa ara na ɛharan hyɛnn na ne ho yɛ hu yie.

32 Omutwe gwakyo gwali gwa zaabu ennongoose, ekifuba kyakyo n’emikono gyakyo nga bya ffeeza, n’olubuto lwakyo n’ebisambi byakyo nga bya kikomo,

Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ne ti; Dwetɛ na wɔde yɛɛ ne koko ne nʼabasa. Kɔbere na wɔde yɛɛ ne yafunu ne nʼasrɛ.

33 n’amagulu gaakyo nga ga kyuma. N’ebigere byakyo ekitundu ekimu kyali kya kyuma, n’ekitundu ekirala nga kya bbumba.

Dadeɛ na wɔde yɛɛ ne nan, na wɔde dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ a wɔde afra yɛɛ ne nantabon.

34 Awo bwe wali ng’okyakitunuulira, olwazi ne lutemebwa, naye si na ngalo, ejjinja ne livaako ne likuba ekifaananyi ku bigere byakyo eby’ekyuma n’ebbumba, ne libyasaayasa.

Na Nana, worehwɛ no, ɔboɔ bi a nsa biara nkura mu te bɛhwee dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ nantabon no so, pɛkyɛɛ no gɔsɔɔ.

35 Ekyuma n’ebbumba, n’ekikomo, ne zaabu, byonna ne biyasibwayasibwa wamu, ne bifuuka ng’ebisusunku eby’omu gguuliro mu biro eby’omusana omungi; kibuyaga n’abifuuwa obutalekaawo na kimu. Naye ejjinja eryakuba ekifaananyi ne lifuuka olusozi olunene, ne lujjula ensi yonna.

Afei Nana, ohoni mu no nyinaa a ɛyɛ dadeɛ, dɔteɛ, kɔbere, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ no nyinaa yam fekɔfekɔ, ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ ahuhuro berɛ mu ayuporobea so ntɛtɛ, ma mframa bɛhuu ne nyinaa kɔeɛ a, hwee anka hɔ. Nanso, ɔboɔ a ɛpem ohoni no hwee fam no danee bepɔ kɛseɛ a ɛkataa asase nyinaa so.

36 “Ekyo kye kyali ekirooto; kaakano tunaategeeza kabaka amakulu gaakyo.

“Nana, daeɛ no nie o, afei, yɛrebɛkyerɛ wo aseɛ.

37 Ggwe, ayi kabaka, ggwe kabaka wa bakabaka, Katonda ow’eggulu gwe yawa obwakabaka, n’obuyinza, n’amaanyi, n’ekitiibwa;

Nana, woyɛ ahene bebree so ɔhene. Ɔsoro Onyankopɔn ayɛ wo ahene mu ɔhene, ama wo tumi, ahoɔden ne animuonyam.

38 era akukwasizza abantu n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga. Buli we bibeera, akuwadde okubifuga, era ggwe mutwe ogwa zaabu.

Ɔde ewiase nnipa, mmoa a wɔwɔ wiram ne nnomaa a wɔtu ahyɛ wo nsa. Baabiara a wɔwɔ no, wɔayɛ wo wɔn so difoɔ. Wo na woyɛ saa sikakɔkɔɔ ti no.

39 “Bw’olivaawo, obwakabaka obulala buliddawo, obutenkanankana bubwo. N’oluvannyuma waliddawo obwakabaka obwokusatu nga bwa kikomo obulifuga ensi yonna.

“Na wʼahemman aba nʼawieeɛ akyi no, ahemman a ɛnnto wo deɛ no bɛsɔre abɛsi wʼananmu. Sɛ saa ahemman no gu a, ahemman kɛseɛ foforɔ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa a kɔbere yafunu ne asrɛ no gyina hɔ ma no no bɛsɔre adi ewiase so.

40 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna waliddawo obwakabaka obwokuna obuliba obw’amaanyi ng’ekyuma; era ng’ekyuma ekimenyaamenya ne kibetentabetenta buli kintu, era ng’ekyuma bwe kimenyaamenya obutundutundu, bwe kityo bwe kiribetentabetenta ne kimenyaamenya obwakabaka obulala bwonna.

Nea ɛbɛdi saa ahemman no akyi no, ɛbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛtɔ so ɛnan a ɛso na ɛwɔ ahoɔden te sɛ dadeɛ. Saa ahemman no bɛbubu, ayam aman a adi ɛkan no nyinaa te sɛdeɛ dadeɛ bubu yam biribiara a ɛne no hyia no.

41 Nga bwe walaba ebigere n’obugere ekitundu nga kya bbumba ery’omubumbi, n’ekitundu nga kya kyuma, bwe butyo obwakabaka bwe buligabanyizibwamu; ate nga bulisigala n’amaanyi ag’ekyuma, nga bwe walaba ekyuma nga kitabuddwamu ebbumba.

Nana, sɛdeɛ wohunu sɛ nantabon ne nansoaa yɛ dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ a adi afra no kyerɛ sɛ, saa ahemman yi mu bɛkyekyɛ.

42 Ng’obugere bwe bwali, ekitundu nga kya kyuma n’ekitundu ekirala nga kya bbumba, n’obwakabaka buno buliba bwe butyo, ekitundu ekimu nga ky’amaanyi n’ekitundu ekirala nga kinafu.

Nʼafaafa bi bɛyɛ den sɛ dadeɛ, na ebi ayɛ mmerɛ sɛ dɔteɛ.

43 Era nga bwe walaba ekyuma nga kitabuddwamu ebbumba bwe batyo n’abantu bwe baliba so tebalisigala bumu, ng’ekyuma bwe kitasobola kwetabula bulungi na bbumba.

Saa dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ mfrafraeɛ no sane kyerɛ sɛ, saa ahemman no bɛyɛ nnipa ahodoɔ a wɔadi afra a wɔntumi nka wɔn ho mmɔ mu sɛdeɛ dadeɛ ne dɔteɛ ntumi nni afra no.

44 “Mu biro ebya bakabaka abo, Katonda w’eggulu alissaawo obwakabaka obutalizikirizibwa, so tebuliweebwa bantu balala. Bulizikiriza obwakabaka obwo bwonna, ne bubumalawo, naye bwo bulibeerera emirembe gyonna.

“Saa ahemfo no adedie mu no, Ɔsoro Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ ahemman bi atenaseɛ a ɛrensɛe da; na obiara renni so da. Ɛbɛdwɛre ahemman ahodoɔ yi nyinaa de wɔn aba awieeɛ, na ɛno deɛ, ɛbɛgyina afebɔɔ.

45 Gano ge makulu ag’okwolesebwa okukwata ku jjinja eryatemebwa mu lusozi, eritatemebwa na ngalo za muntu; eryabetentabetenta ekyuma, n’ekikomo, n’ebbumba, ne ffeeza, ne zaabu. “Katonda omukulu abikkulidde kabaka ebigenda okubaawo mu biro eby’omu maaso. Ekirooto kituufu n’amakulu gaakyo tegabuusibwabuusibwa.”

Ɔboɔ no a nsa biara nkura mu na ɛtwa firi bepɔ no so a ɛyam dadeɛ, kɔbere, dɔteɛ, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ mfrafraeɛ ohoni no gyina hɔ ma saa ɔman no. “Onyankopɔn kokuroko akyerɛ Nana, deɛ ɛbɛba daakye. Daeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ, na ne nkyerɛaseɛ yɛ kann.”

46 Awo Kabaka Nebukadduneeza ne yeeyaliira ku lubuto lwe mu maaso ga Danyeri n’amuwa ekitiibwa, n’alagira okuwaayo obubaane n’ebiweebwayo eri Danyeri.

Ɔhene Nebukadnessar bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Daniel anim, somm no, na ɔhyɛɛ ne manfoɔ sɛ, wɔmfa afɔrebɔdeɛ mmra, na wɔnhye aduhwam wɔ nʼanim.

47 Kabaka n’agamba Danyeri nti, “Mazima Katonda wo ye Katonda wa bakatonda era ye Mukama wa bakabaka, era omubikkuzi w’ebyama ebyakisibwa, kubanga osobozebbwa okututegeeza ekyama ekyakisibwa.”

Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Daniel sɛ, “Nokorɛ, wo Onyankopɔn yɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ anyame mu; ɔyɛ Awurade wɔ ahene so ahintasɛm mu kyerɛfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na woatumi akyerɛ saa kɔkoamsɛm yi mu.”

48 Awo kabaka n’akuza Danyeri n’amufuula omuntu omukulu ennyo, n’amuwa n’ebirabo bingi. N’amufuula mufuzi w’essaza lyonna erya Babulooni, n’amuwa n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okukulira abasajja abagezigezi bonna ab’e Babulooni.

Afei, ɔhene no maa Daniel dibea a ɛkorɔn yie sane yɛɛ no ayɛ a ɛsom bo yie. Ɔmaa Daniel bɛyɛɛ sohwɛfoɔ wɔ Babiloniaman no mu nyinaa, na ɔde no sii nʼanyansafoɔ no nyinaa so ɔhene.

49 Awo Danyeri n’asaba kabaka akuze ne Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki, ne Abeduneego; kabaka n’abafuula abakulembeze n’abawa ebifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa mu ssaza ery’e Babulooni, Danyeri ye n’asigala awali kabaka.

Daniel bisa ma wɔyɛɛ Sadrak, Mesak ne Abednego, Babilonia asase no so ahwɛfoɔ, na Daniel yɛɛ ɔsomfoɔ wɔ ɔhene aban mu.
