1 Kabaka Berusazza n’agabula embaga nnene eri abakungu be lukumi, ne banywa omwenge naye.
Inkosi uBhelishazari wenzela izikhulu zakhe ezizinkulungwane idili elikhulu, wanatha lazo iwayini.
2 Awo Berusazza, yali ng’anywa omwenge, n’atumya ebikompe ebya zaabu n’ebya ffeeza, Nebukadduneeza kitaawe bye yaggya mu yeekaalu mu Yerusaalemi, ye n’abakungu be, n’abakyala be n’abazaana be babinyweremu.
Kwathi uBhelishazari enatha iwayini lakhe walaya ukuthi kulethwe izitsha zegolide lezesiliva ezazithethwe nguyise uNebhukhadineza ethempelini eJerusalema, efuna ukuthi inkosi, lezikhulu zayo, labafazi bayo kanye labafazi bayo beceleni banathele kuzo.
3 Era ne baleeta ebikompe ebya zaabu n’ebya ffeeza ebyaggyibwa mu yeekaalu ya Katonda mu Yerusaalemi, kabaka n’abakungu be, n’abakyala be n’abazaana be ne babinyweramu.
Yikho baziletha izitsha zegolide ezazithethwe ethempelini likaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, kwasekusithi inkosi lezikhulu zayo kanye labafazi bayo beceleni banathela kuzo.
4 Ne banywa omwenge ne batandika okutendereza bakatonda aba zaabu n’aba ffeeza, n’ab’ebikomo, n’ab’ekyuma, n’ab’emiti n’ab’amayinja.
Bathi belinatha iwayini babelokhu bedumisa onkulunkulu begolide labesiliva, labethusi, labensimbi, labezigodo labamatshe.
5 Mu kiseera ekyo ne walabika engalo z’omukono gw’omuntu ne ziwandiika ku kisenge okuliraana ettaala mu lubiri lwa kabaka; kabaka n’alaba ekibatu ky’omukono nga kiwandiika.
Masinyane nje kwavela iminwe yesandla somuntu yaloba emdulini eduzane loluthi lwesibane esigodlweni. Inkosi yasibukela isandla siloba.
6 Entunula ye n’ekyuka, n’atya nnyo, n’amaviivi ge ne gakubagana n’amagulu ge ne galemererwa okumuwanirira.
Ubuso bayo bahloba, yethuka amadolo ayo aze atshayana, imilenze yathamba yathi wohlo phansi.
7 Kabaka n’alagira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka baleete abafumu, n’Abakaludaaya, n’abalaguzi. Kabaka n’agamba abasajja abagezigezi abo ab’e Babulooni nti, “Omuntu yenna anaasoma ekiwandiiko ekyo, n’antegeeza amakulu gaakyo, alyambazibwa engoye ez’effulungu era alyambazibwa omukuufu ogwa zaabu mu bulago, era aliba mukulu owa waggulu ow’ekifo ekyokusatu mu bwakabaka.”
Inkosi yamemeza yathi kakubizwe izangoma lezingcazi zezinkanyezi kanye lezanuse yasisithi kuwo la amadoda ayizihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, “Loba ngubani ongabala umbhalo lo angitshele ukuthi utshoni uzagqokiswa eziyibubende agqiziswe iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe, njalo uzaphiwa isikhundla sesithathu sokuba ngumbusi kulelilizwe.”
8 Awo abasajja ba kabaka abagezigezi bonna ne bajja, naye ne balemwa okusoma ekiwandiiko ekyo newaakubadde okutegeeza kabaka amakulu gaakyo.
Zasezingena zonke izihlakaniphi. Kodwa zehluleka ukuwubala umbhalo lokutshela inkosi ukuthi utshoni.
9 Kabaka Berusazza ne yeeyongera nnyo okweraliikirira, n’entunula ye ne yeeyongera okukyuka; n’abakungu be amagezi ne gababula.
Ngakho inkosi uBhelishazari yathuthumela okwedlulayo, ubuso bayo bahloba. Izikhulu zayo zadideka.
10 Awo muka kabaka bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyatuuka ku kabaka n’abakungu be, n’agenda mu kisenge ekinene embaga mwe yali n’ayogera nti, “Ayi kabaka, owangaale! Leka kweraliikirira, so tokeŋŋentererwa.
Indlovukazi yathi isizwa amazwi enkosi lezikhulu zayo yeza yangena endlini yedili. Yathi, “Oh nkosi, mana njalo. Ungethuki! Ungaze wahloba kanjalo!
11 Waliwo omusajja mu bwakabaka bwo alimu omwoyo gwa bakatonda abatukuvu. Mu mirembe gya kitaawo yasangibwa okuba n’okutegeera, n’amagezi, ng’aga bakatonda, era Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kitaawo, n’amufuula omukulu w’abasawo, n’abafumu, n’Abakaludaaya, n’abalaguzi.
Kulomuntu embusweni wakho olomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele phakathi kwakhe. Ngesikhathi sikayihlo watshengisa ukuqonda, lokukhalipha lenhlakanipho okufana lokwabonkulunkulu. Uyihlo, inkosi uNebhukhadineza yambeka ukuba yinduna yabomasalamusi, lezangoma, lezingcazi zezinkanyezi lezanuse.
12 Omusajja oyo Danyeri, kabaka gwe yatuuma Berutesazza, yasangibwa ng’alina omwoyo ogw’okutegeera, n’okumanya, n’okulootolola ebirooto, n’okubikkula ebigambo eby’ekyama, n’okutta ebibuuzo ebizibu ennyo. Kale Danyeri ayitibwe, anaakutegeeza amakulu g’ekiwandiiko.”
Indoda le, uDanyeli, inkosi eyayimbiza ngokuthi nguBhelitheshazari, wabonakala elengqondo evukileyo, lolwazi lokuzwisisa, njalo elamandla okuhumutsha amaphupho, lokuchaza amalibho kanye lokuhlahlula izinkinga ezinzima. Mbize uDanyeli, uzakutshela ukuthi umbhalo utshoni.”
13 Awo Danyeri n’aleetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Danyeri, omu ku abo abaaleetebwa kabaka kitange mu buwaŋŋanguse okuva mu Yuda?
Ngakho uDanyeli walethwa phambi kwenkosi, inkosi yathi kuye, “Wena unguye uDanyeli na, omunye wabathunjwa abalethwa ngubaba inkosi bevela koJuda?
14 Bantegeezezza ng’omwoyo wa bakatonda abatukuvu ali mu ggwe, era olaba ebitalabibwa bantu abaabulijjo, otegeera era oli w’amagezi amasukkirivu.
Sengizwile ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu uphakathi kwakho lokuthi ulokuqonda, lokukhalipha lenhlakanipho eyinqaba.
15 Abasajja abagezigezi, n’abafumu baaleeteddwa mu maaso gange basome ekiwandiiko ekyo era bantegeeze n’amakulu gaakyo, naye balemeddwa okukinnyonnyola.
Izihlakaniphi lezangoma zilethwe kimi ukuthi zingibalele umbhalo lo, zingitshele ukuthi utshoni, kodwa zehlulekile ukuwuchaza.
16 Naye ntegeezeddwa, ng’oyinza okunnyonnyola amakulu g’ebigambo ebizibu. Kaakano bw’ononsomera ekiwandiiko ekyo, era n’ontegeeza n’amakulu gaakyo, onooyambazibwa engoye ez’effulungu n’omukuufu ogwa zaabu mu bulago, era oliba mukulu owookusatu mu bwakabaka.”
Manje sengizwile ukuthi wena ulamandla okutsho ingcazelo lokuhlahlula izinkinga ezinzima. Aluba ungawubala umbhalo lo uphinde ungitshele ukuthi utshoni, uzagqokiswa eziyibubende, ugqiziswe leketane legolide entanyeni yakho, uphinde ubekwe esikhundleni sokuba ngowesithathu ebukhulwini bombuso lo.”
17 Awo Danyeri n’addamu kabaka nti, “Ebirabo byo byeterekere, n’empeera yo ogiwe omuntu omulala. Naye nzija kukusomera ekiwandiiko era nkutegeeze n’amakulu gaakyo.
UDanyeli wasephendula inkosi wathi, “Ungazigcinela lezozipho zakho, uphe leyomivuzo yakho omunye umuntu. Loba kunjalo ngizayibalela inkosi umbhalo lowo ngiyitshele ukuthi utshoni.
18 “Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo yawa Nebukadduneeza kitaawo obwakabaka, n’obuyinza, n’ekitiibwa n’obukulu, ayi kabaka;
Yebo kambe nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uyihlo uNebhukhadineza ubukhosi lobukhulu lodumo kanye lenkazimulo.
19 era olw’obuyinza bwe yamuwa, abantu bonna n’amawanga gonna n’abantu ab’ennimi zonna baamutyanga era ne bakankana mu maaso ge. Abo kabaka be yayagalanga battibwe, battibwanga; n’abo be yasonyiwanga, baasonyiyibwanga; n’abo be yayagalanga okugulumiza bagulumizibwanga, n’abo be yayagalanga okutoowaza, baatoowazibwanga.
Ngenxa yesikhundla esiphezulu amnika sona, bonke abantu kanye lezizwe zonke labantu bendimi zonke babemqhuqha, bemesaba. Labo inkosi eyafuna ukubabulala, yababulala; labo eyafuna ukubaxolela, yabaxolela; labo eyafuna ukubakhweza ezikhundleni yabakhweza; kwathi labo eyafuna ukubayangisa, yabayangisa.
20 Naye omutima gwe bwe gwegulumiza ne gukakanyala olw’amalala ge, yaggyibwa ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’ekitiibwa kye ne kimuggyibwako.
Kodwa kwathi lapho inhliziyo yayo isilobuqholo, isilukhuni ngokuzigqaja yethulwa esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi yaphucwa udumo lwayo.
21 N’agobebwa mu bantu, n’ebirowoozo bye ne biwaanyisibwa n’aba ng’ensolo ey’omu nsiko, n’abeera wamu n’endogoyi ez’omu nsiko, n’alya omuddo ng’ente, n’omubiri gwe ne gutoba omusulo ogw’eggulu, okutuusa lwe yategeera nga Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, y’afuga obwakabaka bw’abantu, era y’ateekawo buli gw’asiima.
Yaxotshwa ebantwini yaphiwa ingqondo yenyamazana; yahlala labobabhemi beganga, yadla utshani njengezinkomo; lomzimba wayo wagxanxwa ngamazolo omkhathi yaze yavuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke nguye uThixo phezu kwemibuso yabantu, abeke phezu kwayo loba nguphi umbusi amthandayo.
22 “Naye ggwe mutabani we, Berusazza, teweetoowazizza mu mutima newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna wabimanya.
Kodwa wena ndodana yayo, awu Bhelishazari, kawuzithobanga, lokuba ukwazi konke lokhu.
23 Weegulumizizza eri Mukama w’eggulu; ebikompe ebyaggyibwa mu yeekaalu ye, obitumizzaayo; era ggwe, n’abakungu bo, n’abakyala bo, n’abazaana bo mubinywereddemu omwenge, n’oluvannyuma ne mutandika okutendereza bakatonda aba ffeeza, n’aba zaabu, n’ab’ebikomo, n’ab’ebyuma, n’ab’emiti, n’ab’amayinja abatayinza kulaba newaakubadde okuwulira newaakubadde okutegeera. Naye Katonda oyo alina omukka gwo mu ngalo ze, era amanyi engeri zo zonna, tomugulumizizza.
Endaweni yalokho, uzimisele ukumelana loThixo wezulu. Wathi kakuthathwe izitsha zethempeli layo zilethwe kuwe, kwasekusithi wena lezikhulu zakho, labafazi bakho kanye labafazi bakho beceleni lanathela iwayini kuzo. Wadumisa onkulunkulu besiliva legolide, abethusi, lensimbi, lezigodo lamatshe, abangaboniyo, labangezwayo labangaqedisisiyo. Kodwa kawumhloniphanga uNkulunkulu ophethe ukuphila kwakho kanye lezindlela zakho zonke esandleni sakhe.
24 Kale kyeyavudde akusindikira omukono ogwawandiise ebigambo ebyo.
Kungakho ethumele lesosandla esalobe lumbhalo.
25 “Era ebigambo ebyawandiikiddwa bye bino nti: mene, mene, tekel, ufarsin.
Nanku umbhalo obulotshiwe: mene, mene, thekheli, pharisini.
26 “N’amakulu gaabyo ge gano: “Mene: Katonda akendezezza ennaku z’obwakabaka bwo era abukomezza.
Nanku okutshiwo ngamagama la: Mene: Nkulunkulu usezibalile insuku zokubusa kwakho, usekuqedile.
27 “Tekel: Opimiddwa ku minzaani, era osangiddwa ng’obulako;
Thekheli: Usulinganisiwe esikalini wafunyanwa ulula.
28 “Peres: Obwakabaka bwo bugabanyiziddwamu, era buweereddwa Abameedi n’Abaperusi.”
Pharisini: Umbuso wakho usuhlukaniswe phakathi, wabelwa amaMede lamaPhezhiya.”
29 Awo amangwago Berusazza n’alagira Danyeri ayambazibwe engoye ez’effulungu, era bamwambaze omukuufu ogwa zaabu, era n’ekiragiro ne kiyita nga bw’ali omukulembeze owookusatu mu bwakabaka.
Kwathi ngomlayo kaBhelishazari uDanyeli wagqokiswa eziyibubende, wagqiziswa iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe, kwamenyezelwa ukuthi usengumbusi wesikhundla sobuthathu elizweni.
30 Ekiro ekyo Berusazza kabaka w’Abakaludaaya n’attibwa.
Ngabona lobobusuku uBhelishazari, inkosi yamaBhabhiloni wabulawa,
31 Daliyo Omumeedi n’alya obwakabaka nga wa myaka nkaaga mu ebiri.
kwathi uDariyu umuMede wabuthatha ubukhosi eleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lambili.
