< UDanyeli 12 >
1 “Ngalesosikhathi uMikhayeli, umbusi omkhulu olinda abantu bakini, uzavela. Kuzakuba khona isikhathi sokuhlukumezeka okungazange kube khona kulokhu kwadabuka izizwe kuze kube yiso. Kodwa kulesosikhathi abantu bakini bonke labo abalamabizo azafunyanwa elotshiwe encwadini bazahlengwa.
“Mu biro ebyo Mikayiri omulangira omukulu akuuma abantu bo aligolokoka, ne yeeyimirira abantu bo. Waliba ekiseera eky’okubonaaboneramu ekitabangawo okuva ku kutondebwa kw’amawanga. Naye mu biro ebyo, omuntu aliba awandiikiddwa mu kitabo, alirokolebwa.
2 Izixuku lezixuku zabaleleyo othulini lomhlaba bazavuka; abanye baye ekuphileni okungapheliyo, abanye baye ehlazweni lokunengeka okungapheliyo.
Bangi ku beebase mu nfuufu ey’ensi baligolokoka, abamu eri obulamu obutaggwaawo, n’abalala eri ensonyi n’okuswazibwa okutaggwaawo.
3 Labo abahlakaniphileyo bazakhazimula njengokubenyezela kwamazulu, lalabo abaholela abanengi ekulungeni, bazakhazimula njengezinkanyezi okwanini lanini.
Abo abalina okutegeera balyakaayakana ng’okumasamasa kw’omu bbanga; n’abo abakyusa abangi okudda eri obutuukirivu, balyakaayakana ng’emmunyeenye emirembe n’emirembe.
4 Kodwa wena Danyeli, vala ungcine amazwi omgoqwancwadi kuze kube yisikhathi sokucina. Abanengi bazakuya lapha lale ukwandisa ulwazi.”
Naye ggwe Danyeri, bikka era osse envumbo ku kitabo okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero lwe kirituuka. Bangi balitambula eno n’eri, era n’okumanya n’amagezi kulyeyongera.”
5 Kwathi mina, Danyeli, ngakhangela, ngabona khonapho phambi kwami kumi abanye ababili, omunye ngakuleli ikhumbi lomfula lomunye ngakuleliyana ikhumbi.
Nze Danyeri ne ndyoka ndaba, laba babiri abalala nga bayimiridde mu maaso gange, omu ku lubalama lw’omugga olumu, n’omulala ku lubalama lw’omugga olulwolekedde.
6 Omunye wabo wathi emuntwini owayegqoke ilineni owayengaphezulu kwamanzi omfula, “Kuzakuba yisikhathi esingakanani zingakenzakali izinto lezi eziyisimanga na?”
Omu ku bo n’agamba omusajja, eyali waggulu w’amazzi g’omugga ng’ayambadde linena nti, “Kiritwala bbanga ki ebyewuunyisa ebyo byonna okutuukirira?”
7 Indoda eyayigqoke ilineni, eyayiphezulu kwamanzi omfula yaphakamisela isandla sayo sokunene lesandla sayo sokhohlo ezulwini, ngayizwa ifunga ngaye ohleziyo laphakade, isithi, “Kuzakuba ngokwesikhathi, izikhathi lengxenye yesikhathi. Lapho amandla abantu abangcwele eseze afohlozwa, zonke lezi izinto zizapheleliswa.”
Omusajja eyali waggulu w’amazzi g’omugga ng’ayambadde linena, n’ayimusa omukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’omukono gwe ogwa kkono eri eggulu, ne mmuwulira ng’alayira eri oyo abeera omulamu emirembe n’emirembe, ng’ayogera nti, “Waliyitawo ebbanga lya myaka esatu n’ekitundu. Era amaanyi g’abantu abatukuvu bwe galimalibwawo, ebintu ebyo byonna ne biryoka bituukirira.”
8 Ngezwa, kodwa kangizwisisanga. Yikho ngabuza ngathi, “Nkosi yami, pho sizaba yini isiphetho sakho konke lokhu na?”
Ne mpulira naye ne sitegeera. Kyennava mbuuza nti, “Mukama wange, biki ebiriva mu ebyo byonna?”
9 Waphendula wathi, “Zihambele, Danyeli, ngoba amazwi asevaliwe ananyekwa kuze kube sekucineni kwesikhathi.
N’anziramu nti, “Weetambulire makubo go, Danyeri, kubanga ebigambo bibikiddwako era n’ekitabo kissibbwako envumbo okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero.
10 Abanengi bazahlanjululwa, bangabi latshatha njalo bacolisiswe, kodwa abagangileyo bazaqhubeka begangile. Kakho kwababi ozazwisisa, kodwa labo abahlakaniphileyo bazazwisisa.”
Bangi balitukuzibwa ne balongoosebwa obutabaako na bbala, naye abatali batuukirivu balyeyongera okukola ebibi. Ku batali batuukirivu tekuliba ategeera, naye ab’amagezi baliba n’okutegeera.
11 Kusukela ngesikhathi kusaliswa umhlatshelo wansuku zonke, sekumiswe amanyala abanga incithakalo, kuzakuba lensuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye.
“N’okuva mu kiseera ekya ssaddaaka eya buli lunaku ng’eggyiddwawo n’eby’emizizo ebizikiriza nga biteekeddwawo, waliyitawo ennaku lukumi mu bibiri mu kyenda.
12 Ubusisiwe lowo okulindelayo njalo akufice ukucina kwensuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amathathu alamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu.
Alina omukisa oyo alirindirira n’atuuka ku nkomerero ey’ennaku olukumi mu bisatu mu asatu mu ttaano.
13 “Kodwa wena, zihambele nje kuze kube sekucineni. Uzaphumula, besekusithi ekucineni kwensuku uzavuka ukuba wamukele elakho ilifa olabelweyo.”
“Naye ggwe tambula makubo go okutuusa enkomerero lwe lituuka. Oliwummula, ne ku nkomerero oligolokoka n’oweebwa omugabo gwo gwe wategekerwa.”
