< UDanyeli 2 >
1 Ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kwakhe, uNebhukhadineza waphupha amaphupho; wahlupheka engqondweni, wehluleka lokulala.
I KA makahiki elua o ke au ia Nebukaneza, ua moe uhane o Nebukaneza, a anoninoni iho la kona uhane, hiaa loa iho la kona hiamoe.
2 Ngakho inkosi yasibiza omasalamusi, lezangoma, labavumisi lezingcazi zezinkanyezi ukuthi bamtshele lokho ayekuphuphile. Sebengenile bema phambi kwayo inkosi,
Alaila, kauoha aku la ke alii e kii aku i na magoi, a me ka poe kilo, a me ka poe hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, i hoakaka mai lakou i ke alii i kana moe. A hele mai lakou a ku iho la imua o ke alii.
3 yathi kubo, “Ngibe lephupho elingihluphayo yikho ngifuna ukwazi ukuthi litshoni.”
I aku la ke alii ia lakou, Ua moe uhane au i ka moe, a pihoihoi iho la kuu uhane e ike i ua moe la.
4 Kwasekusithi ingcazi zezinkanyezi zayiphendula inkosi zikhuluma ngesi-Aramu zathi, “Bayethe, nkosi! Phila kuze kube nininini! Zitshele izinceku zakho iphupho lelo, thina sizalichaza.”
Ekemu mai la ka poe Kaledea i ke alii ma ka olelo Suria, E ola mau loa ke alii: E hai mai oe i kau poe kauwa i ua moe la, a na makou ia e hoakaka aku.
5 Inkosi yaziphendula ingcazi zezinkanyezi yathi, “Nanku esengikumisile: Nxa lingangitsheli ukuthi iphupho lami beliyini beselilichaza, ngizakuthi liqunywaqunywe iziqa, izindlu zenu zidilizwe zibe yinqwaba.
Olelo aku la ke alii i ka poe Kaledea, i aku la, Ua paa kuu olelo, ina aole oukou e hai mai i ka moe a me kona ano, e okioki liilii ia oukou, a o ko oukou mau hale e liloia i hooleina moka.
6 Kodwa lingangitshela iphupho kanye lengcazelo yalo ngizalipha izipho lemivuzo lodumo olukhulu. Ngakho ngitshelani iphupho libe selingichazela lona.”
Aka, e hai mai oukou ia'u i ka moe a me kona hoike, alaila e loaa ia oukou ka makana, a me ka uku, a me ka hanohano nui no'u aku; no ia mea, e hai mai i ka moe, a me kona hoike.
7 Baphinda njalo baphendula bathi, “Inkosi kayizitshele izichaka zayo iphupho lelo, thina sizalichasisa.”
Ekemu hou mai la lakou, i mai, E hai mai ke alii i kana poe kauwa i ka moe, a na makou ia e hoakaka aku.
8 Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Ngileqiniso ukuthi liqonde ukuchitha isikhathi ngoba libona ukuthi yilokhu esengikumisile ukuthi:
Olelo aku ke alii, i aku la, Ua ike au, he oiaio no, ke makemake nei oukou, e hooloihi i ka manawa, no ka mea, ua ike oukou ua paa kuu olelo.
9 Nxa lingangitsheli iphupho lelo, sinye zwi isijeziso senu. Seliyengene ukuthi lingitshele inkohliso lamanyala, licabanga ukuthi kumbe izinto zizaguquka. Manje-ke ngitshelani iphupho lelo yikho ngizakwazi ukuthi lingangichasisela lona.”
Aka, ke hoakaka ole mai oukou ia'u i ka moe, hookahi mea paa no oukou; no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oukou i na olelo wahahee a me ka lapuwale e hai mai imua o'u, a ano hou ae la ka manawa; no ia mea, e hai mai ia'u i ka moe, alaila ua moakaka ia'u, e hiki ia oukou ke hoomaopopo mai i ke ano.
10 Ingcazi zezinkanyezi zayiphendula inkosi zathi, “Kakulamuntu emhlabeni ongakwenza lokho okufunwa yinkosi! Kayikho inkosi, loba ingenkulu kanganani kumbe ilamandla anganani, eyake yafuna into enjalo laloba kubani oyenza amasalamusi, kumbe isangoma loba ingcazi yezinkanyezi.
Alaila, ekemu hou mai ka poe Kaledea imua o ke alii, i mai la, Aohe kanaka ma ka honua e hiki ia ia ke hoakaka i ka ke alii mea; aole alii, aole haku, aole luna, i koi aku i ke kilo, a me ka magoi, a me ke Kaledea i na mea e like me keia.
11 Lokhu okufunwa yinkosi kunzima kakhulu. Kakho ongakwambulela inkosi ngaphandle kwabonkulunkulu, njalo kabahlali ebantwini.”
A he mea pohihihi keia mea a ke alii i koi mai nei: aole loa he mea e hiki ke hoakaka ia mea imua o ke alii, aka, o na akua wale no, na mea i noho pu olo me kanaka.
12 Lokhu kwayizondisa inkosi yabila ngolaka yahle yathi zonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni kazibulawe.
No keia mea, huhu iho la ke alii a ukiuki loa, a kauoha aku la oia e luku aku i ka poe naauao a pau ma Babulona.
13 Ngakho sakhutshwa isimemezelo sokuthi izazi kazibulawe, yikho kwathunywa amadoda ukuyadinga uDanyeli labakhula bakhe ukuthi babulawe.
A holo ka olelo e lukuia ka poe naauao a pau; a imiia iho la o Daniela a me kona mau hoa e pepehiia'i lakou.
14 Kwathi u-Ariyoki, indunankulu yamanxusa enkosi isiphumile ukuyabulala izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, uDanyeli wakhuluma laye ngokuhlakanipha langokunanzelela.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Daniela me ka noonoo, a me ka naauao ia Arioka, i ka luna o ka poe ilamuku o ke alii, ka poe i hele aku e pepehi i ka poe naauao ma Babulona.
15 Wasibuza isikhulu lesi senkosi wathi, “Kungani inkosi ikhuphe isimemezelo esibuhlungu kangaka na?” U-Ariyoki waseyichaza indaba kuDanyeli.
I aku la oia ia Arioka i ka luna o ke alii, i aku, No ke aha la ka holo wawe ana o ka olelo a ke alii? Alaila hoakaka mai la o Arioka ia Daniela i ua mea la.
16 Esekuzwile lokho uDanyeli waya enkosini wacela ukuba ake aphiwe isikhathi, ukuze ayichazele iphupho layo.
Alaila, komo ae la o Daniela, a noi aku la i ko alii e haawi mai ia ia i kekahi manawa, a e hoakaka aku no oia i ke alii i ka hoike.
17 UDanyeli wabuyela endlini yakhe wayatshela abakhula bakhe oHananiya, loMishayeli lo-Azariya ngendaba leyo.
Alaila, hele aku la o Daniela i kona hale, a hoike aku ia mea ia Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria, kona mau hoa;
18 Wabakhuthaza ukuthi bacele umusa kuNkulunkulu wasezulwini ngale inkinga eyimfihlakalo, ukuze kuthi yena labakhula bakhe baphephe ekubulaweni kanye lazozonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni.
I noi aku lakou i ke aloha no ke Akua mai o ka lani, no keia mea i ike ole ia, i ole e make pu o Daniela a me kona mau hoa me na kanaka naauao e ae ma Babulona.
19 Kwathi ebusuku inkinga leyo yambulelwa uDanyeli ngombono. UDanyeli wasemdumisa uNkulunkulu wasezulwini
Alaila, ua hoakakaia mai ua mea ike ole ia la ia Daniela, ma ke akaku i ka po. A hoomaikai aku la o Daniela i ke Akua o ka lani.
20 wathi: “Kalidunyiswe ibizo likaNkulunkulu nini lanini; inhlakanipho lamandla kungokwakhe.
Olelo aku o Daniela, i aku la, E hoomaikaiia ka inoa o ke Akua ia ao aku ia ao aku; no ka mea, nona ka naauao a me ka mana;
21 Uyaguqula izikhathi lezibanga; uyawabeka amakhosi aphinde awaqethule. Unika inhlakanipho kwabahlakaniphileyo lolwazi kwabaqedisisayo.
Nana no i hoololi mai i na wa a me na kau; nana no i kipaku aku i na'lii, a hooku hoi iluna i na'lii: haawi mai no hoi oia i ka naauao no ka poe naauao, a me ka ike no ka poe ike.
22 Uveza obala izinto ezizikileyo lezifihlakeleyo; uyakwazi okucatshe emnyameni, lokukhanya kuhlala kuye.
Ua hoakaka mai oia i na mea hohonu a me na mea i ike ole ia. Ua ike oia i na mea ma ka pouli, a me ia pu no ka malamalama.
23 Ngiyakubonga njalo ngiyakudumisa, Oh Nkulunkulu wabokhokho bami: Ungiphile inhlakanipho lamandla, usungazisile mina lokho esikucelileyo kuwe, ususazisile thina iphupho lenkosi.”
Ke hoomaikai aku nei au ia oe, e ke Akua o ko'u poe kupuna, ke hoolea aku nei au ia oe, ka mea i haawi mai ia'u i ka naauao a me ka ikaika, ka mea i hoakaka mai i na mea a makou i noi aku ai ia oe; no ka mea, ua hoakaka mai oe ia makou i ka ke alii mea.
24 UDanyeli wasesiya ku-Ariyoki owayekhethwe yinkosi ukuba abulale izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, wathi kuye, “Ungazibulali izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni. Ngisa enkosini, ngizayichasisela iphupho layo.”
Alaila, hele aku la o Daniela io Arioka la, i ka mea a ke alii i hoonoho ai e pepehi i ka poe naauao ma Babulona; i aku la ia ia, Mai pepehi i ka poe naauao o Babulona; e alakai oe ia'u imua i ke alo o ke alii, a na'u no e hoakaka i ke alii i ka hoike.
25 U-Ariyoki wahle wasa uDanyeli enkosini wathi, “Sengiyifumene indoda kwabathunjiweyo bakwaJuda engayitshela inkosi ukuthi iphupho layo litshoni.”
Alaila, wikiwiki iho la o Arioka i ke alakai ia Daniela imua o ke alii; i aku la ia ia, Ua loaa ia'u ke kanaka no ka poe pio o Iuda, oia ka mea nana e hoakaka i ke alii i ka hoike.
26 Inkosi yambuza uDanyeli (njalo othiwa nguBhelitheshazari), “Kambe ungangitshela na engakubonayo ephutsheni lami uphinde ulichasise?”
Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza, i mai, E hiki anei ia oe, ke hoakaka mai ia'u i ka moe uhane a'u i ike ai a me kona ano?
27 Waphendula uDanyeli wathi, “Kasikho isihlakaniphi, noma isangoma, noma oyenza amasalamusi, noma isanuse esingayihlahlulela inkosi imfihlakalo eyidingayo,
Olelo aku la o Daniela imua i ke alo o ke alii, i aku, O ka mea ikea ole a ke alii i koi mai ai, aole e hiki i ka poe naauao, a me ka poe akamai, a me ka poe magoi, a me na kilokilolani ke hoakaka i ke alii;
28 kodwa ukhona uNkulunkulu ezulwini owambula zonke imfihlakalo. Utshengise inkosi uNebhukhadineza okuzakwenzakala ngezinsuku ezizayo. Iphupho lakho lemibono eyafika engqondweni yakho ulele embhedeni wakho yile:
Aka, aia ma ka lani ke Akua, ka mea e hoike mai i na mea i ike ole ia; oia ka mea e hoike mai i ke alii, ia Nebukaneza i na mea o hiki mai ana i na la mahope. O kau moe uhane, a me ka lia o kou poo ma kou wahi moe, penei no ia;
29 Wathi ulele khonapho nkosi, ingqondo yakho yaphatha izinto ezisezakuza, kwathi umhlahluli wezinkinga wakubonisa okuzakwenzakala.”
A o oe, e ke alii, ua kupu kou manao ma kou wahi moe, no na mea e hiki mai ana mahope: a o ka mea hoike i na mea i ikea ole, nana no e hoakaka mai ia oe i na mea e hiki mai ana:
30 Okwami yikuthi ngiyambulelwe imfihlakalo le, kungesukuthi yingoba ngilenhlakanipho eyeqa eyabanye abaphilayo, kodwa ukuze kuthi wena, Oh nkosi, uyazi ingcazelo njalo ukuze uzwisise okwakuphithikana engqondweni yakho.
A owau nei hoi, aole i hoakakaia mai ia'u keia mea ikea ole, no ka oi ana o ka naauao iloko o'u mamua o ko kekahi mea e ola ana; aka, i hoakakaia aku ai i ke alii ka hoike, a i ike no hoi oe i ka manao o kou naau iho.
31 Wathi uyakhangela, Oh nkosi, wabona kumi phambi kwakho isithombe esikhulukazi, inkalakatha yesithombe esikhazimulayo, sisesabeka ukukhangeleka kwaso.
O oe, e ke alii, ua ike oe, aia hoi, he kii nui. O ua kii la, he mea e kona olinolino, ua ku mai ia imua ou, a o kona helehelena he mea weliweli loa ia.
32 Ikhanda lesithombe lalenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo, isifuba saso lezingalo kubunjwe ngesiliva, isisu lemilenze kubunjwe ngethusi,
O ke poo o ua kii la, he gula maemae ia, o kona umauma a me na lima he kala ia, o kona opu a me na uha he keleawe ia.
33 imibala ibunjwe ngensimbi, inyawo zaso zilengxenye yensimbi lenye ingxenye yebumba elitshisiweyo.
O kona mau wawae he hao ia, a o kona mau kapuwai he hao kekahi, a he palolo kekahi.
34 Wathi ulokhu usabukele, kwaqetshulwa ilitshe, kungesingazandla zamuntu. Lasigxoba isithombe ezinyaweni zaso zensimbi lebumba lazihlifiza.
Ike aku la oe, aia hoi, he pohaku i kalai lima ole ia, oia ka i kui mai i ua kii la ma kona mau kapuwai hao me ka palolo, a weluwelu iho ia.
35 Kwasekusithi insimbi, lebumba, lethusi, lesiliva kanye legolide kwachobozeka kwaba yizicucu kanyekanye kwaba njengomule esizeni ehlobo. Umoya waziphephula izicucu wazikhucula du. Kodwa ilitshe elagxoba isithombe laba yintaba enkulu yagcwala umhlaba wonke.
Alaila, ua okaoka loa iho la ka hao, a me ka palolo, a me ke keleawe, ke kala, a me ke gula; a ua lilo lakou me he opala la ma ke kahua hehi o ke kau: a ua puhiia hoi e ka makani, aole wahi i loaa no lakou; aka, o ua pohaku la i kui i ke kii, ua lilo ia i mauna nui a piha ka honua ia ia.
36 Leli bekuyilo iphupho, manje-ke sesizalichazela inkosi.
Oia iho no ua moe la; a e hoakaka aku hoi makou i kona hoike imua o ke alii.
37 Wena, Oh nkosi uyinkosi yamakhosi. UNkulunkulu wasezulwini ukunikile umbuso, lamandla lobukhulu lodumo;
O oe no, e ke alii, he alii oe o na'lii; a ua haawi mai no ke Akua o ka lani ia oe i ke aupuni, a me ka mana, a me ka ikaika, a me ka hanohano.
38 uluntu lonke ulunikele ezandleni zakho kanye lezinyamazana zeganga lezinyoni zemoyeni. Loba zihlala ngaphi, ukwenze wena waba ngumbusi wakho konke. Ulikhanda leliyana legolide.
A ma na wahi a pau i nohoia e na kanaka, ua haawi oia i na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa iloko o kou lima, a ua hooalii mai ia oe maluna o na mea a pau. O oe no ua poo gula la.
39 Ngemva kwakho, kuzakuba khona omunye umbuso, ophansi kulowakho. Kuzalandela owesithathu owethusi ozabusa umhlaba wonke.
A mahope o kou e hookuia ana he aupuni e, ua emi mai ia mahope o kou; a o ke kolu o ke aupuni [e hookuia mai] he keleawe ia; oia ka mea e alii ana maluna o ka honua a pau.
40 Ekucineni kuzakuba lombuso wesine oqinileyo njengensimbi ngoba insimbi iyephula ivodloze yonke into, yikho njengoba insimbi isephula izinto zibe yizicucu, kanjalo umbuso lowo uzayichoboza yonke eminye.
A o ka ha o ke aupuni e like auanei kona ikaika me he hao la: no ka. mea, o ka hao ka mea e weluwelu ai, a e okaoka loa ai na mea a pau; a e like me ka hao i hooweluwelu liilii ai i keia mau mea a pau, pela no oia e okaoka loa ai.
41 Njengoba ubonile ukuthi inyawo lamazwane bekulengxenye yebumba elitshisiweyo lengxenye yensimbi, yikho lo uzakuba ngumbuso odabuke phakathi; loba nje uzakuba lamanye amandla ensimbi phakathi kwawo, njengalokhu uyibonile insimbi ixubene lebumba.
A i kou ike ana i na kapuwai a me na manamana wawae he palolo a ka potera kekahi, a he hao kekahi, e maheleia ana ke aupuni; aka, o ka ikaika o ka hao kekahi mea iloko ona, e like me kou ike ana i ka hao i huipuia'i me ka palolo.
42 Njengoba amazwane abelengxenye yensimbi, lengxenye yebumba, kanjalo umbuso lo uzakuba lamandla nganxanye, nganxanye ubucuzeke.
E like me ua mau manamana wawae la he hao kekahi a he palolo kekahi, pela keia aupuni, he ikaika kekahi, a he nawaliwali kekahi.
43 Njalo njengoba ubonile insimbi ixubene lebumba elitshisiweyo, kanjalo abantu bazakuba yinhlanganisela bahlale bengamanyananga, njengoba insimbi ingahlangani lebumba.
A me kou ike ana i ka hao i huipuia me ka palolo, pela lakou i huipuia'i me ka hua o kanaka; aole nae e pili pono kekahi i kekahi, e like me ka hao, aole pili pono i ka palolo.
44 “Ngalesosikhathi samakhosi lawo uNkulunkulu wasezulwini uzabeka umbuso ongasoze wabhidlizwa lanini njalo ongasoze utshiyelwe abanye abantu. Uzayibhidliza yonke leyomibuso iphele, kodwa wona uzakuma laphakade.”
Ma na la o keia poe alii, e kukulu mai ai ke Akua o ka lani i aupuni mau loa, aole hoi e hoohioloia ia aupuni; aole nae ia e lilo no ka lahuikanaka e, aka, ia ia no e weluwelu hilii auanei a okaoka loa keia mau aupuni a pau, a e mau loa aku ana no ia.
45 Le yiyo ingcazelo yombono welitshe elaqhekezwa entabeni, kungasingezandla zomuntu, ilitshe elaphahlaza insimbi, lethusi, lebumba, lesiliva kanye legolide kwaba yizicucu. “UNkulunkulu omkhulu uyitshengisile inkosi okuzakwenzeka ngesikhathi esizayo. Iphupho liliqiniso lengcazelo iqondile.”
A i kou ike ana i ua pohaku la i kalai lima ole ia'i mailoko mai o ka mauna, i weluwelu liilii ai ka hao, a me ke keleawe, a me ka palolo, a me ke kala, a me ke gula; oia ko ke Akua kiekie hoike ana mai i ke alii i na mea e hiki mai ana mahope; ua oiaio ka moe, a o kona hoike ua paa loa ia.
46 Inkosi uNebhukhadineza wazilahla wathi mbo phambi kukaDanyeli wamkhonza wakhupha ilizwi lokuthi kenzelwe umnikelo atshiselwe impepha njalo.
Alaila, moe iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii ilalo ka maka, a hoomana aku la ia Daniela; a kauoha aku la oia i mohai aku lakou ia ia i ka mohai a me na mea ala.
47 Inkosi yathi kuDanyeli, “Ngempela uNkulunkulu wakho nguNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu leNkosi yamakhosi lomambuleli wezimfihlakalo, ngoba ukwazile ukwambula imfihlakalo le.”
Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i mai, He oiaio no o ko oukou Akua he Akua ia o na akua, a he Haku o na'lii, oia hoi ka mea e hoakaka mai i na mea i ike ole ia, no ka mea, ia oe no e hiki ai ke hoakaka mai i keia mea i ike ole ia.
48 Inkosi yasibeka uDanyeli esikhundleni esiphezulu yelekelela ngezipho ezinengi kuye. Yamenza waba ngumbusi kulolonke ilizwe laseBhabhiloni njalo waba ngumphathi wazo zonke izazi zakhona.
Alaila, hoolilo ae la ke alii ia Daniela i kanaka nui, haawi hoi ia ia i na makana he nui wale, a hoolilo ia ia i kiaaina o na aina a pau ma Babulona, a i luna hoi maluna o ka poe naauao a pau o Babulona.
49 Isicelwe nguDanyeli, yaphinde yabeka uShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko baba ngabaphathi beziqinti zelizwe laseBhabhiloni, kodwa yena uDanyeli wasala esigodlweni.
A noi aku la o Daniela i ke alii, a hoonoho iho la oia ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, maluna o ka oihana e pili ana i ka aina o Babulona: aka, o Daniela ua nobo ia ma ka ipuka o ke alii.
