< UDanyeli 2 >
1 Ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kwakhe, uNebhukhadineza waphupha amaphupho; wahlupheka engqondweni, wehluleka lokulala.
Pea ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Nepukanesa, naʻe misi ʻa Nepukanesa ʻae ngaahi misi: ʻaia naʻe mamahi ai ʻa hono loto, pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻene mohe meiate ia.
2 Ngakho inkosi yasibiza omasalamusi, lezangoma, labavumisi lezingcazi zezinkanyezi ukuthi bamtshele lokho ayekuphuphile. Sebengenile bema phambi kwayo inkosi,
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ke ui ʻae kau fiemana, mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau tuki, mo e kau Kalitia, koeʻuhi ke nau fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi misi. Ko ia naʻa nau haʻu ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
3 yathi kubo, “Ngibe lephupho elingihluphayo yikho ngifuna ukwazi ukuthi litshoni.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate kinautolu, Kuo u misi ha misi, pea naʻe mamahi hoku loto ke u ʻiloʻi ʻae misi.
4 Kwasekusithi ingcazi zezinkanyezi zayiphendula inkosi zikhuluma ngesi-Aramu zathi, “Bayethe, nkosi! Phila kuze kube nininini! Zitshele izinceku zakho iphupho lelo, thina sizalichaza.”
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau Kalitia ki he tuʻi, ʻi he lea fakaSilia, “ʻE tuʻi ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata: tala ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae misi, pea te mau fakahā hono ʻuhinga.”
5 Inkosi yaziphendula ingcazi zezinkanyezi yathi, “Nanku esengikumisile: Nxa lingangitsheli ukuthi iphupho lami beliyini beselilichaza, ngizakuthi liqunywaqunywe iziqa, izindlu zenu zidilizwe zibe yinqwaba.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē, ki he kau Kalitia; “Kuo mole ʻae meʻa meiate au: kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakahā kiate au ʻae misi, mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia, ʻe tuʻutuʻu fakaikiiki ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe ngaohi homou ngaahi fale ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota.
6 Kodwa lingangitshela iphupho kanye lengcazelo yalo ngizalipha izipho lemivuzo lodumo olukhulu. Ngakho ngitshelani iphupho libe selingichazela lona.”
Pea kapau te mou fakahā ʻae misi, pea mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia, te mou maʻu meiate au ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki, mo e ngaahi totongi, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa lahi: ko ia te mou fakahā mai ʻae misi, mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia kiate au.”
7 Baphinda njalo baphendula bathi, “Inkosi kayizitshele izichaka zayo iphupho lelo, thina sizalichasisa.”
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻakinautolu ʻo pehē, “Ke fakamatala ʻe he tuʻi ʻae misi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te mau fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.”
8 Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Ngileqiniso ukuthi liqonde ukuchitha isikhathi ngoba libona ukuthi yilokhu esengikumisile ukuthi:
Pea lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ou ʻilo pau ʻoku mou loto ke fakatuai; koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻilo kuo mole ʻae meʻa meiate au.
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.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakahā kiate au ʻae misi, ʻoku ai ʻae fono pe taha kiate kimoutolu: he kuo mou teuteu ʻae ngaahi lea kākā mo kovi ke lea ʻaki ʻi hoku ʻao, ke ʻoua ke ai ha kuonga kehe; ko ia, fakahā mai ʻae misi, pea te u ʻilo ai ʻoku mou mafai ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga.”
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau Kalitia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi māmani ʻe mafai ke fakahā ʻae meʻa ni ʻae tuʻi; ko ia ʻoku teʻeki ai ha tuʻi, pe ha ʻeiki, pe ha pule, kuo fehuʻi ki ha taha fai mana, pe ki ha ʻasitolōnoma, pe ko e Kalitia, ki ha ngaahi meʻa pehē.
11 Lokhu okufunwa yinkosi kunzima kakhulu. Kakho ongakwambulela inkosi ngaphandle kwabonkulunkulu, njalo kabahlali ebantwini.”
Pea ko e meʻa ʻoku tokanga ki ai ʻae tuʻi, ko e meʻa lahi: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi kehe ʻe fakahā ia ki he tuʻi, ka ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai nofo mo e kakano.”
12 Lokhu kwayizondisa inkosi yabila ngolaka yahle yathi zonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni kazibulawe.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni naʻe houhau ʻae tuʻi, pea mātuʻaki lili, pea ne fekau ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻi Papilone.
13 Ngakho sakhutshwa isimemezelo sokuthi izazi kazibulawe, yikho kwathunywa amadoda ukuyadinga uDanyeli labakhula bakhe ukuthi babulawe.
Pea naʻe fanongonongo ʻae fono ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata poto; pea naʻa nau kumi ʻa Taniela, mo ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
14 Kwathi u-Ariyoki, indunankulu yamanxusa enkosi isiphumile ukuyabulala izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, uDanyeli wakhuluma laye ngokuhlakanipha langokunanzelela.
Pea naʻe tali fakakaukau poto ʻe Taniela, kia ʻAlioke, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone;
15 Wasibuza isikhulu lesi senkosi wathi, “Kungani inkosi ikhuphe isimemezelo esibuhlungu kangaka na?” U-Ariyoki waseyichaza indaba kuDanyeli.
Naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē kia ʻAlioke, ko e ʻeikitau ʻae tuʻi, ko e hā ʻoku vave pehē ai ʻae fono mei he tuʻi? Pea naʻe toki fakahā ʻe ʻAlioke ʻae meʻa kia Taniela.
16 Esekuzwile lokho uDanyeli waya enkosini wacela ukuba ake aphiwe isikhathi, ukuze ayichazele iphupho layo.
Pea toki ʻalu atu ai ʻa Taniela ki he tuʻi ʻo ne kole ke ne fakatotoka muʻa, pea te ne fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
17 UDanyeli wabuyela endlini yakhe wayatshela abakhula bakhe oHananiya, loMishayeli lo-Azariya ngendaba leyo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Taniela ki hono fale, pea ne fakahā ʻae meʻa kia Hanania, mo Misaeli, mo ʻAsalia, ʻa ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa
18 Wabakhuthaza ukuthi bacele umusa kuNkulunkulu wasezulwini ngale inkinga eyimfihlakalo, ukuze kuthi yena labakhula bakhe baphephe ekubulaweni kanye lazozonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni.
Koeʻuhi ke nau kole ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa mei he ʻOtua ʻoe langi, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fufū ni: pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻa Taniela, mo ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa, fakataha mo e kau tangata poto kehe ʻo Papilone.
19 Kwathi ebusuku inkinga leyo yambulelwa uDanyeli ngombono. UDanyeli wasemdumisa uNkulunkulu wasezulwini
Pea naʻe toki fakahā ʻae meʻa fufū kia Taniela ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō. Pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻa Taniela ki he ʻOtua ʻoe langi.
20 wathi: “Kalidunyiswe ibizo likaNkulunkulu nini lanini; inhlakanipho lamandla kungokwakhe.
Naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata; he ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae poto mo e mālohi:
21 Uyaguqula izikhathi lezibanga; uyawabeka amakhosi aphinde awaqethule. Unika inhlakanipho kwabahlakaniphileyo lolwazi kwabaqedisisayo.
Pea ʻoku ne liliu ʻae ngaahi kuonga, mo e ngaahi faʻahitaʻu: ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: ʻoku ne foaki ʻae poto ki he kau poto, mo e ʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo loto.
22 Uveza obala izinto ezizikileyo lezifihlakeleyo; uyakwazi okucatshe emnyameni, lokukhanya kuhlala kuye.
ʻOku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa loloto mo fufū: ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻoku nofo ʻiate ia ʻae maama.
23 Ngiyakubonga njalo ngiyakudumisa, Oh Nkulunkulu wabokhokho bami: Ungiphile inhlakanipho lamandla, usungazisile mina lokho esikucelileyo kuwe, ususazisile thina iphupho lenkosi.”
ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi mo fakamālō kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, ʻa koe kuo ke foaki mai kiate au ʻae poto, mo e mālohi, pea kuo ke toki fakahā mai kiate au, ʻaia naʻa mau kole ʻiate koe; he kuo ke fakahā mai kiate kimautolu ʻae meʻa ʻae tuʻi.”
24 UDanyeli wasesiya ku-Ariyoki owayekhethwe yinkosi ukuba abulale izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, wathi kuye, “Ungazibulali izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni. Ngisa enkosini, ngizayichasisela iphupho layo.”
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa Taniela kia ʻAlioke, ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he tuʻi ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone: pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia; “ʻOua naʻa ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone: ka ke ʻave au ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, pea te u fakahā ki he tuʻi hono ʻuhinga.”
25 U-Ariyoki wahle wasa uDanyeli enkosini wathi, “Sengiyifumene indoda kwabathunjiweyo bakwaJuda engayitshela inkosi ukuthi iphupho layo litshoni.”
Pea naʻe ʻomi fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe ʻAlioke ʻa Taniela, ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo u ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻi he kau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻaia te ne fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻa hono ʻuhinga.”
26 Inkosi yambuza uDanyeli (njalo othiwa nguBhelitheshazari), “Kambe ungangitshela na engakubonayo ephutsheni lami uphinde ulichasise?”
Naʻe folofola ange ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē kia Taniela, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Pelitisasa, “ʻOku ke faʻa fai ke fakahā kiate au ʻae misi, ʻaia naʻaku mamata ai mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia?”
27 Waphendula uDanyeli wathi, “Kasikho isihlakaniphi, noma isangoma, noma oyenza amasalamusi, noma isanuse esingayihlahlulela inkosi imfihlakalo eyidingayo,
Pea lea ʻa Taniela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa fufū ʻaia kuo ʻeke ʻe he tuʻi, ʻe ʻikai lavaʻi ʻe he kau tangata poto, pe ʻe he kau ʻasitolōnoma, pe ʻe he kau fai mana, pe ʻe he kau kikite, ke fakahā ki he tuʻi.
28 kodwa ukhona uNkulunkulu ezulwini owambula zonke imfihlakalo. Utshengise inkosi uNebhukhadineza okuzakwenzakala ngezinsuku ezizayo. Iphupho lakho lemibono eyafika engqondweni yakho ulele embhedeni wakho yile:
Ka ʻoku ai ha ʻOtua ʻi he langi, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui. Ko ʻeni ia ʻa hoʻo misi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki ho ʻulu ʻi ho mohenga:
29 Wathi ulele khonapho nkosi, ingqondo yakho yaphatha izinto ezisezakuza, kwathi umhlahluli wezinkinga wakubonisa okuzakwenzakala.”
Koeʻuhi ko koe ʻe tuʻi, naʻe tupu hake ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi fakakaukau ʻi ho mohenga ki he meʻa e hoko ʻamui: pea ko ia ʻoku fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū, ʻoku ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa e hoko.
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.
Ka koeʻuhi ko au, ʻoku ʻikai ke fakahā ʻae meʻa fufū ni kiate au, koeʻuhi ko haʻaku poto ʻoku lahi hake ʻi he kakai moʻui kotoa pē, ka koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻe fakahā hono ʻuhinga ki he tuʻi, pea koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo pe ʻe koe, ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻo ho loto.
31 Wathi uyakhangela, Oh nkosi, wabona kumi phambi kwakho isithombe esikhulukazi, inkalakatha yesithombe esikhazimulayo, sisesabeka ukukhangeleka kwaso.
“Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, naʻa ke mamata, pea vakai, ko e fuʻu meʻa fakatātā. Ko e fuʻu meʻa fakatātā ni ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻaupito ʻene ngingila, naʻe tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, pea naʻe fakamanavahē hono anga.
32 Ikhanda lesithombe lalenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo, isifuba saso lezingalo kubunjwe ngesiliva, isisu lemilenze kubunjwe ngethusi,
ko e ʻulu ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ni ko e koula lelei ia, ko hono fatafata mo hono nima, ko e siliva, ko hono kete mo hono tenga, ko e palasa,
33 imibala ibunjwe ngensimbi, inyawo zaso zilengxenye yensimbi lenye ingxenye yebumba elitshisiweyo.
Ko hono loto tenga ʻo fai ki hono vaʻe, ko e ukamea, ko hono vaʻe, ko e konga ʻoe ukamea mo e konga ʻoe ʻumea.
34 Wathi ulokhu usabukele, kwaqetshulwa ilitshe, kungesingazandla zamuntu. Lasigxoba isithombe ezinyaweni zaso zensimbi lebumba lazihlifiza.
Naʻa ke mamata ai pe mo ʻene tā mai ha maka naʻe ʻikai kau ai ha nima, pea ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae vaʻe ʻoe meʻa fakatātā, ʻaia naʻe fefiofi ai ʻae ukamea mo ʻumea, pea naʻe lailai ia ke momo.
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.
“Pea naʻe toki maumauʻi fakataha ʻae ukamea, mo e ʻumea, ʻae palasa, mo e siliva pea mo e koula, pea naʻe hoko ʻo hangē ko e kafukafu ʻi he ngaahi hahaʻanga ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana; pea naʻe vilingia ʻi he matangi, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ha potu ki ai, pea ko e maka naʻe tā ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā naʻe hoko ia ko e fuʻu moʻunga ʻo ne fakafonu ʻa māmani kotoa pē.
36 Leli bekuyilo iphupho, manje-ke sesizalichazela inkosi.
“Ko eni ʻae misi; pea te mau fakahā ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻa hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.
37 Wena, Oh nkosi uyinkosi yamakhosi. UNkulunkulu wasezulwini ukunikile umbuso, lamandla lobukhulu lodumo;
Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, he kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe langi ha puleʻanga mo e pule, mo e mālohi mo e nāunau.
38 uluntu lonke ulunikele ezandleni zakho kanye lezinyamazana zeganga lezinyoni zemoyeni. Loba zihlala ngaphi, ukwenze wena waba ngumbusi wakho konke. Ulikhanda leliyana legolide.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻae tangata, kuo ne tuku ki ho nima ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, pea kuo ne fokotuʻu koe ko e pule kiate kinautolu kotoa pē; ko koe ko e ʻulu ni ʻoe koula.
39 Ngemva kwakho, kuzakuba khona omunye umbuso, ophansi kulowakho. Kuzalandela owesithathu owethusi ozabusa umhlaba wonke.
Pea ʻe tupu ki mui ʻiate koe ha puleʻanga kehe, ʻo siʻi hifo ʻiate koe, mo ha puleʻanga kehe, ko hono tolu, ʻoe palasa, ʻaia ʻe fai ʻae pule ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
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.
Pea ko hono fā ʻoe puleʻanga ʻe mālohi ia ʻo hangē ko e ukamea; he koeʻuhi ʻoku maumau mo ikuʻi ʻe he ukamea ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: pea hangē ʻoku maumau ʻe he ukamea ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, te ne laiki mo fakavolu.
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.
Pea koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo mamata ki he vaʻe mo e ngaahi louhiʻi vaʻe, ko e konga ʻoe ʻumea, mo e konga ʻoe ukamea, ʻe vahevahe ʻae puleʻanga; ka ʻe ʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻoe ukamea; he koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamata ki he ukamea naʻe fefiofi mo e ʻumea pelepela.
42 Njengoba amazwane abelengxenye yensimbi, lengxenye yebumba, kanjalo umbuso lo uzakuba lamandla nganxanye, nganxanye ubucuzeke.
Pea hangē ko e ngaahi louhiʻi vaʻe, naʻe ukamea ha konga pea ʻumea ha konga, ʻe pehē ʻae puleʻanga, ʻe mālohi ha konga pea pelepelengesi ha konga.
43 Njalo njengoba ubonile insimbi ixubene lebumba elitshisiweyo, kanjalo abantu bazakuba yinhlanganisela bahlale bengamanyananga, njengoba insimbi ingahlangani lebumba.
Pea hangē naʻa ke mamata ki he ukamea naʻe fefiofi mo e ʻumea pelepela, te nau fefiofi ʻakinautolu mo e hako ʻoe tangata, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau fepikitaki, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ke fefiofi ʻae ukamea mo e ʻumea
44 “Ngalesosikhathi samakhosi lawo uNkulunkulu wasezulwini uzabeka umbuso ongasoze wabhidlizwa lanini njalo ongasoze utshiyelwe abanye abantu. Uzayibhidliza yonke leyomibuso iphele, kodwa wona uzakuma laphakade.”
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ni ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ha puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ʻo lauikuonga: pea ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae puleʻanga ki ha kakai kehe, ka te ne laiki mo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ni kotoa pē, pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo taʻengata.
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.”
Pea koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamata, naʻe tā ʻae maka mei he moʻunga taʻekau ai ha nima, pea naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae ukamea, ʻae palasa, ʻae ʻumea, ʻae siliva, pea mo e koula; kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua lahi ki he tuʻi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻamui: pea ʻoku moʻoni ʻae misi, pea ko hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia ʻoku maʻu.”
46 Inkosi uNebhukhadineza wazilahla wathi mbo phambi kukaDanyeli wamkhonza wakhupha ilizwi lokuthi kenzelwe umnikelo atshiselwe impepha njalo.
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ki hono fofonga, pea ne hū kia Taniela, pea ne fekau ke nau ʻatu ha feilaulau mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala kiate ia.
47 Inkosi yathi kuDanyeli, “Ngempela uNkulunkulu wakho nguNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu leNkosi yamakhosi lomambuleli wezimfihlakalo, ngoba ukwazile ukwambula imfihlakalo le.”
Naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Taniela, pea ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko homou ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea mo e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ko ia ʻoku fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū, koeʻuhi naʻa ke mafai ke fakahā ʻae meʻa fufū ni.”
48 Inkosi yasibeka uDanyeli esikhundleni esiphezulu yelekelela ngezipho ezinengi kuye. Yamenza waba ngumbusi kulolonke ilizwe laseBhabhiloni njalo waba ngumphathi wazo zonke izazi zakhona.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻa Taniela ʻe he tuʻi, ko e tangata lahi, pea ne foaki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kehekehe, pea ne fokotuʻu ia ko e pule ki he potu kotoa pē ʻo Papilone, pea ko e ʻuluaki ia ʻi he kau pule ki he kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻo Papilone.
49 Isicelwe nguDanyeli, yaphinde yabeka uShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko baba ngabaphathi beziqinti zelizwe laseBhabhiloni, kodwa yena uDanyeli wasala esigodlweni.
Pea naʻe kole ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻi pea ne fokotuʻu ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko ke pule ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe potu ʻo Papilone: ka naʻe nofo ʻa Taniela ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi.
