1 Daliyo yalonda abaamasaza kikumi mu abiri mu bwakabaka bwonna,
UDariyu wathanda ukubeka ababusi bezigaba abalikhulu lamatshumi amabili ukuba babuse kulolonke ilizwe,
2 era mu abo n’alonda abaabakuliranga basatu, Danyeri nga y’omu ku bo. Abaamasaza baateekebwawo okutegeezanga ng’obwakabaka bwe, bwe bwaddukanyizibwanga, kabaka aleme kufiirizibwa. Era ekyo ne kisanyusa Daliyo.
wabeka omongameli abathathu phezu kwabo, omunye wabo enguDanyeli. Ababusi bezigaba babesethula kubo konke ukuze inkosi ingalahlekelwa lutho.
3 Mu biro ebyo Danyeri n’ayatiikirira nnyo okusinga abakulu abalala bonna n’abaamasaza bonna kubanga yalimu omwoyo omulungi, era kabaka n’ateekateeka okumukuza okuvunaanyizibwanga ensonga zonna z’obwakabaka bwonna.
UDanyeli waba yisilomo, wedlula abanye omongameli lababusi bezigaba ngokwenza kwakhe, inkosi yaze yafisa ukumbeka phezu kwelizwe lonke.
4 Olwawulira ebyo, abakungu abalala ababiri n’abaamasaza ne basala amagezi okunoonya ensonga ku Danyeri ku nzirukanya ye ey’ebyemirimu egy’obwakabaka, naye ne batayinza kulaba nsonga nkyamu newaakubadde akabi konna, kubanga yali musajja mwesigwa ataalina kwonoona okw’engeri yonna newaakubadde obulagajjavu.
Ngenxa yalokho omongameli lababusi bezigaba badinga amabhada okumangalela uDanyeli ngendlela ayeqhuba ngayo kwezombuso, kodwa behluleka. Kabafumananga kungcola kuye ngoba wayethembekile futhi engasihaga lemali njalo engayekethisi lutho.
5 Awo abasajja abo ne bayiiya ensonga endala, ne boogera nti, “Tetugenda kulaba nsonga evunaanyisa Danyeri wabula ng’ekwata ku tteeka lya Katonda we.”
Ekucineni amadoda la athi, “Kasisoze safa salizuza izaba lokwethesa indoda le uDanyeli icala ngaphandle kwalokho okuphathelene lomthetho kaNkulunkulu wakhe.”
6 Abakungu abo n’abaamasaza kyebaava bagenda bonna eri kabaka mu kibiina ne boogera nti, “Ayi kabaka Daliyo, owangaale!
Ngakho omongameli lababusi bezigaba baya enkosini belixuku bafika bathi: “Oh nkosi Dariyu, mana njalo!
7 Abakungu bonna, n’abamyuka baabwe, n’abaamasaza, n’abawi b’amagezi ab’oku ntikko, n’abakungu, bateesezza ne bakkiriziganya okusaba kabaka okuteeka etteeka, n’okuwa ekiragiro ekinywevu, nga buli anaasabanga eri katonda omulala oba omuntu omulala yenna mu nnaku amakumi asatu ezinaddirira, okuggyako ng’asinza ggwe, ayi kabaka, asuulibwe mu mpuku y’empologoma.
Omongameli besikhosini, labalisa, lababusi bezigaba, labeluleki lababusi bemikhono yelizwe bonke sebevumelene ukuthi inkosi kayikhuphe isimemezelo iwugcizelele umlayo othi noma ngubani okhuleka kuwuphi uNkulunkulu noma umuntu phakathi kwalezi insuku ezingamatshumi amathathu, ngaphandle kokukhuleka kuwe wena, Oh nkosi, uzaphoselwa emgodini wezilwane.
8 Kaakano ayi kabaka teeka etteeka era liwandiikibwe, ng’amateeka g’Abameedi n’Abaperusi agatajjulukuka bwe gali, kireme okukyusibwa.”
Manje, Oh nkosi, sikhuphe lesosimemezelo sibhalwe phansi ukuze singaguqulwa njengoba kunjalo ngemithetho yamaMede lamaPhezhiya engaguqulwayo.”
9 Awo kabaka Daliyo n’akola etteeka n’alissaako n’omukono gwe.
Ngakho inkosi uDariyu yawubhala phansi lowomthetho.
10 Awo Danyeri bwe yamanya ng’etteeka liwandiikiddwa, n’agenda ewuwe mu nnyumba ye, n’ayambuka mu kisenge kye ekya waggulu ekyalina amadirisa nga goolekedde Yerusaalemi, n’afukamiranga emirundi esatu olunaku, n’asabanga era ne yeebazanga Katonda we nga bwe yakolanga bulijjo.
Kwathi uDanyeli esezwile ukuthi umthetho wawusukhutshiwe, waya ekhaya endlini yakhe ephezulu esitezi eyayilamawindi avulwe akhangela eJerusalema. Kathathu ngelanga wayezilahla phansi ngamadolo akhuleke, ebonga uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengalokho ayevele ekwenza mandulo.
11 Awo abasajja bali ne bateekateeka okugenda ng’ekibiina ne basanga Danyeri ng’asaba era nga yeegayirira Katonda we.
Kwasekusithi amadoda la aqhubana elixuku afica uDanyeli ekhuleka ecela usizo kuNkulunkulu.
12 Ne bagenda eri kabaka ne bamujjukiza ekiragiro ne boogera nti, “Ayi kabaka, tewateeka etteeka nga buli anaasabanga katonda omulala oba omuntu omulala yenna mu nnaku amakumi asatu eziddirira wabula ng’asinza ggwe, alisuulibwa mu mpuku y’empologoma?” Kabaka n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, etteeka bwe liri, ng’amateeka g’Abameedi n’Abaperusi bwe gali agatajjulukuka.”
Asesiya enkosini ayakhuluma layo ngomthetho owaphuma esigodlweni, athi: “Kawukhuphanga isimemezelo yini sokuthi ngezinsuku ezilandelayo ezingamatshumi amathathu noma ngubani okhuleka komunye unkulunkulu noma umuntu ngaphandle kokukhuleka kuwe, Oh nkosi, uzaphoselwa emgodini wezilwane?” Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Lowomthetho umi njengemithetho yamaMede lamaPhezhiya, engeke iguqulwe.”
13 Awo ne bagamba nti, “Danyeri omu ku baawaŋŋangusibwa okuva mu Yuda, takussaako mwoyo, ayi kabaka, newaakubadde etteeka ly’owandiise. Asaba eri Katonda we emirundi esatu buli lunaku.”
Asesithi enkosini, “UDanyeli, ongomunye wabathunjwa bakoJuda, kakunanzi, wena nkosi, kanye lomthetho owawubhala phansi. Ulokhu ekhuleka kathathu ngelanga.”
14 Kabaka bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’anakuwala nnyo, n’agezaako okuwonya Danyeri, era n’amala olunaku lwonna ng’afuba nnyo okumuwonya.
Kwathi inkosi isikuzwile lokho yakhathazeka kakhulu; yayizimisele ukukhulula uDanyeli, yenza yonke imizamo yokumsiza ilanga laze layatshona.
15 Naye abasajja ne bagenda bonna ng’ekibiina eri kabaka ne bamugamba nti, “Jjukira, ayi kabaka, ng’etteeka ery’Abameedi n’Abaperusi kabaka ly’ataddeko omukono, terikyusibwa.”
Amadoda lawo asehamba elixuku aya enkosini athi kuyo, “Khumbula, Oh nkosi, ukuthi ngomthetho wamaMede lamaPhezhiya kakulasimemezelo loba isimiso esikhutshwe yinkosi esingaguqulwa.”
16 Awo kabaka n’alagira, Danyeri n’aleetebwa, n’asuulibwa mu mpuku y’empologoma. Kabaka n’agamba Danyeri nti, “Nkusabira eri Katonda wo, gw’oweereza bulijjo akulokole!”
Ngakho inkosi yasikhupha umlayo, basebemletha uDanyeli bamphosela emphandwini wezilwane. Inkosi yathi kuDanyeli, “Sengathi uNkulunkulu wakho omkhonzayo njalonjalo angakuhlenga!”
17 Ne baleeta ejjinja ne baliteeka ku mulyango gw’empuku, kabaka n’alissaako akabonero ke ye, n’abakungu be ne balissaako obubonero bwabwe, ekigambo kyonna kireme okukyusibwa ku nsonga ya Danyeri.
Kwalethwa ilitshe lafakwa emnyango womgodi, inkosi yasilinameka ngendandatho yayo yobukhosi langezindandatho zezikhulu zayo, ukuze umumo kaDanyeli ungaguqulwa.
18 Awo kabaka n’addayo mu lubiri lwe, naye n’atalya kintu na kimu ekiro ekyo, era n’atakkiriza kusanyusibwa, n’otulo ne tumubula.
Yikho inkosi yase ibuyela esigodlweni sayo yazila ukudla lokunatha ubusuku bonke. Yehluleka ukulala.
19 Ku makya ennyo emambya ng’esaze, kabaka n’agolokoka n’ayanguwa okugenda ku mpuku ey’empologoma.
Kwathi emadabukakusa inkosi yavuka yaya emgodini wezilwane.
20 Bwe yasembera okumpi ne Danyeri we yali, n’amukoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’ennaku ng’agamba nti, “Danyeri omuddu wa Katonda omulamu, Katonda wo, gw’oweereza bulijjo akuwonyezza empologoma?”
Ithe isifikile emgodini, yamemeza uDanyeli ngelizwi losizi yathi, “Danyeli, nceku kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uNkulunkulu wakho omkhonza njalonjalo ukuphephisile yini ezilwaneni?”
21 Danyeri n’addamu nti, “Wangaala, ayi kabaka.
UDanyeli waphendula wathi, “Oh nkosi, mana njalo!
22 Katonda wange yatumye malayika we, n’aziba emimwa gy’empologoma zireme okunkolako akabi kubanga nasangiddwa nga sirina musango mu maaso ge. Ate ne mu maaso go sirina musango, ayi kabaka.”
UNkulunkulu wami uthume ingilosi yakhe yayivala imilomo yezilwane. Kazingilimazanga ngoba ngifunyanwe ngingelacala phambi kwakhe. Njalo kangikaze ngenze okubi kuwe, Oh nkosi.”
23 Kabaka n’asanyuka nnyo n’alagira Danyeri aggyibwe mu mpuku. Awo Danyeri n’aggyibwa mu mpuku, n’atasangibwako kiwundu na kimu, kubanga yeesiga Katonda we.
Inkosi yathaba yafa yakhupha umlayo wokuba uDanyeli akhutshulwe emgodini lowo. UDanyeli esekhutshiwe emgodini, kakubonakalanga nxeba kuye, ngoba wathemba kuNkulunkulu wakhe.
24 Awo amangwago kabaka n’alagira, abasajja abaalumiriza Danyeri baleetebwe, era basuulibwe mu mpuku y’empologoma, wamu ne bakyala baabwe n’abaana baabwe. Baali tebanatuuka na ku ntobo y’empuku, empologoma ne zibasinza amaanyi ne zimenyaamenya amagumba gaabwe gonna.
Inkosi yalaya ukuthi balethwe labo ababemangalele uDanyeli ngamanga baphoselwa emgodini wezilwane kanye labafazi babo labantwababo. Bathi bengakathinti phansi emgodini izilwane zabaqaga zabafohloza wonke amathambo abo.
25 Awo kabaka Daliyo n’awandiikira abantu bonna, n’amawanga gonna n’abantu ab’ennimi zonna mu nsi yonna nti, “Emirembe gibeere gye muli!
Inkosi uDariyu yasilobela bonke abantu, lezizwe zonke lenhlanga zendimi zonke kulolonke ilizwe yathi: “Sengathi impilo enhle inganda kini!
26 “Nteeka etteeka mu buli kitundu ky’obwakabaka bwange bwonna nga ndagira nti abantu bateekwa okutya n’okussaamu Katonda wa Danyeri ekitiibwa.
Ngimisa isimiso sokuthi kuzozonke izindawo zombuso wami, abantu kabesabe, bakhonze uNkulunkulu kaDanyeli.
27 Alokola era awonya:
Uyakhulula, asindise;
28 Awo Danyeri n’aba n’omukisa mu mirembe gya Daliyo era n’awangaala okutuusa ne mu mirembe gya Kuulo Omuperuzi.
Ngakho uDanyeli waphumelela ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaDariyu lesokubusa kukaKhurosi umPhezhiya.
