UDanyeli 2
1 Ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kwakhe, uNebhukhadineza waphupha amaphupho; wahlupheka engqondweni, wehluleka lokulala.
Nebukadnessar adedi mfe abien so, ɔsosoo dae bi ma ɛhaw no ara kosii sɛ, na ontumi nna.
2 Ngakho inkosi yasibiza omasalamusi, lezangoma, labavumisi lezingcazi zezinkanyezi ukuthi bamtshele lokho ayekuphuphile. Sebengenile bema phambi kwayo inkosi,
Ɔfrɛɛ ne nkonyaayifo, pɛadeahufo, ntafowayifo ne Kaldeafo, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, wɔnkyerɛ no dae ko no. Wobegyinaa ɔhene no anim no,
3 yathi kubo, “Ngibe lephupho elingihluphayo yikho ngifuna ukwazi ukuthi litshoni.”
ɔkae se, “Maso dae bi a ɛhaw me, enti mepɛ sɛ mokyerɛ me dae ko a mesoe no, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mihu.”
4 Kwasekusithi ingcazi zezinkanyezi zayiphendula inkosi zikhuluma ngesi-Aramu zathi, “Bayethe, nkosi! Phila kuze kube nininini! Zitshele izinceku zakho iphupho lelo, thina sizalichaza.”
Na Kaldeafo no buaa no wɔ Arameike kasa mu se, “Ɔhene nkwa so! Ka dae no kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛkyerɛ ase.”
5 Inkosi yaziphendula ingcazi zezinkanyezi yathi, “Nanku esengikumisile: Nxa lingangitsheli ukuthi iphupho lami beliyini beselilichaza, ngizakuthi liqunywaqunywe iziqa, izindlu zenu zidilizwe zibe yinqwaba.
Nanso ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Kaldeafo no se, “Eyi ne gyinae a masi wɔ asɛm yi ho. Sɛ moantumi anka me dae no, na moankyerɛ me ase a, wobetwitwa mo mu asinasin, na wobebubu mo afi, ama afuw wura.
6 Kodwa lingangitshela iphupho kanye lengcazelo yalo ngizalipha izipho lemivuzo lodumo olukhulu. Ngakho ngitshelani iphupho libe selingichazela lona.”
Na sɛ moka me dae no, kyerɛ me ase a, mɛma mo akyɛde a ɛso bi mmaa da, na mabɔ mo aba so. Monka dae no, na monkyerɛ me ase.”
7 Baphinda njalo baphendula bathi, “Inkosi kayizitshele izichaka zayo iphupho lelo, thina sizalichasisa.”
Wɔkaa bio se, “Yɛsrɛ wo, Nana, ka dae no kyerɛ wʼasomfo, na yɛbɛkyerɛ wo ase.”
8 Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Ngileqiniso ukuthi liqonde ukuchitha isikhathi ngoba libona ukuthi yilokhu esengikumisile ukuthi:
Ɔhene no buae se, “Mahu mo nnaadaa no. Mahu sɛ, moretwentwɛn bere no so, na munim gyinae a masi wɔ asɛm a mekae no ho.
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.”
Sɛ moanka dae no ankyerɛ me a, asotwe baako pɛ na ɛda hɔ ma mo. Moapam sɛ mubedi atoro adaadaa me. Mususuw sɛ asɛm no bɛsesa. Monka dae no nkyerɛ me, na ɛbɛma mahu sɛ mubetumi akyerɛ ase.”
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.
Kaldeafo no buaa Ɔhene no se, “Onipa teasefo biara nni hɔ a obetumi akyerɛ wo, Nana, wo dae a woaso no. Na ɔhene biara nso nni hɔ, sɛ ɔkorɔn anaa ne tumi so, a wabisa nkonyaayifo, pɛadeahufo anaa Kaldeafo saa asɛm yi bi pɛn.
11 Lokhu okufunwa yinkosi kunzima kakhulu. Kakho ongakwambulela inkosi ngaphandle kwabonkulunkulu, njalo kabahlali ebantwini.”
Ɔhene abisade yi yɛ den dodo. Obiara nni hɔ a obetumi aka wo dae no gye anyame. Nanso wɔn tenabea nni wiase yi mu.”
12 Lokhu kwayizondisa inkosi yabila ngolaka yahle yathi zonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni kazibulawe.
Ɔhene no tee saa asɛm no, ne bo fuw yiye, enti ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, wonkunkum anyansafo a wɔwɔ Babilonia nyinaa.
13 Ngakho sakhutshwa isimemezelo sokuthi izazi kazibulawe, yikho kwathunywa amadoda ukuyadinga uDanyeli labakhula bakhe ukuthi babulawe.
Na esiane ɔhene no mmaraden sɛ wonkunkum anyansafo no nti, wɔsomaa mmarima sɛ wɔnkɔhwehwɛ Daniel ne ne nnamfonom, na wonkunkum wɔn.
14 Kwathi u-Ariyoki, indunankulu yamanxusa enkosi isiphumile ukuyabulala izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, uDanyeli wakhuluma laye ngokuhlakanipha langokunanzelela.
Bere a, Ariok a ɔyɛ ɔhene no awɛmfo so panyin baa sɛ ɔrebekum wɔn no, Daniel faa nyansakwan so ne no kasae.
15 Wasibuza isikhulu lesi senkosi wathi, “Kungani inkosi ikhuphe isimemezelo esibuhlungu kangaka na?” U-Ariyoki waseyichaza indaba kuDanyeli.
Daniel bisaa Ariok se, “Adɛn nti na ɔhene hyɛɛ mmara a ano yɛ den saa?” Na Ariok kaa nea asi nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
16 Esekuzwile lokho uDanyeli waya enkosini wacela ukuba ake aphiwe isikhathi, ukuze ayichazele iphupho layo.
Daniel kohuu Ɔhene no, na ɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma no bere kakra na ɔbɛba abɛkyerɛ dae no ase.
17 UDanyeli wabuyela endlini yakhe wayatshela abakhula bakhe oHananiya, loMishayeli lo-Azariya ngendaba leyo.
Na Daniel kɔɔ ne fi kɔbɔɔ ne nnamfonom Hanania, Misael ne Asaria amanneɛ faa asɛm a asi no ho.
18 Wabakhuthaza ukuthi bacele umusa kuNkulunkulu wasezulwini ngale inkinga eyimfihlakalo, ukuze kuthi yena labakhula bakhe baphephe ekubulaweni kanye lazozonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni.
Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnsrɛ ɔsoro Nyankopɔn na ɔnnom wɔn nʼahummɔbɔ sɛnea wɔrenkum wɔn mfra anyansafo nkae a wɔwɔ Babilonia no mu.
19 Kwathi ebusuku inkinga leyo yambulelwa uDanyeli ngombono. UDanyeli wasemdumisa uNkulunkulu wasezulwini
Anadwo no, ɔdaa kokoamsɛm no adi kyerɛɛ Daniel wɔ anisoadehu mu. Na Daniel kamfoo ɔsoro Nyankopɔn
20 wathi: “Kalidunyiswe ibizo likaNkulunkulu nini lanini; inhlakanipho lamandla kungokwakhe.
se, “Ayeyi nka Onyankopɔn din daa nyinaa, ɔno nko na ɔwɔ nyansa ne tumi.
21 Uyaguqula izikhathi lezibanga; uyawabeka amakhosi aphinde awaqethule. Unika inhlakanipho kwabahlakaniphileyo lolwazi kwabaqedisisayo.
Ɔno na ɔsesa mmere ne nnipa nkrabea; osi ahene, na otu wɔn ade so. Ɔma anyansafo hu nyansa, na ɔma nhumu ho nimdeɛ.
22 Uveza obala izinto ezizikileyo lezifihlakeleyo; uyakwazi okucatshe emnyameni, lokukhanya kuhlala kuye.
Ɔda nneɛma a mu dɔ na ɛyɛ nwonwa adi, na onim nea ahintaw wɔ sum mu; hann atwa ne ho ahyia.
23 Ngiyakubonga njalo ngiyakudumisa, Oh Nkulunkulu wabokhokho bami: Ungiphile inhlakanipho lamandla, usungazisile mina lokho esikucelileyo kuwe, ususazisile thina iphupho lenkosi.”
Meda wo ase, kamfo wo mʼagyanom Nyankopɔn, efisɛ, woama me nyansa ne tumi, woaka nea yebisaa wo akyerɛ me, ada nea ɔhene bisae no adi akyerɛ yɛn.”
24 UDanyeli wasesiya ku-Ariyoki owayekhethwe yinkosi ukuba abulale izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, wathi kuye, “Ungazibulali izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni. Ngisa enkosini, ngizayichasisela iphupho layo.”
Afei Daniel kohuu Ariok a wɔahyɛ no sɛ onkunkum anyansafo a wɔwɔ Babilonia no, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nkunkum anyansafo a wɔwɔ Babilonia no. Fa me kɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn, na mɛkyerɛ no ne dae no ase.”
25 U-Ariyoki wahle wasa uDanyeli enkosini wathi, “Sengiyifumene indoda kwabathunjiweyo bakwaJuda engayitshela inkosi ukuthi iphupho layo litshoni.”
Na ntɛm ara, Ariok de Daniel kɔɔ ɔhene no anim kae se, “Mahu nnommum a wofi Yuda no mu baako a ɔbɛkyerɛ wo, Nana, dae no ase.”
26 Inkosi yambuza uDanyeli (njalo othiwa nguBhelitheshazari), “Kambe ungangitshela na engakubonayo ephutsheni lami uphinde ulichasise?”
Ɔhene no bisaa Daniel (a wɔsan frɛ no Beltesasar) no se, “Ɛyɛ nokware? Wubetumi akyerɛ me nea mihuu wɔ me dae no mu na woakyerɛ me ase?”
27 Waphendula uDanyeli wathi, “Kasikho isihlakaniphi, noma isangoma, noma oyenza amasalamusi, noma isanuse esingayihlahlulela inkosi imfihlakalo eyidingayo,
Daniel buae se, “Nana, anyansafo, pɛadeahufo, nkonyaayifo anaa ntafowayifo biara nni hɔ a wobetumi akyerɛ ahintasɛm a worebisa yi!
28 kodwa ukhona uNkulunkulu ezulwini owambula zonke imfihlakalo. Utshengise inkosi uNebhukhadineza okuzakwenzakala ngezinsuku ezizayo. Iphupho lakho lemibono eyafika engqondweni yakho ulele embhedeni wakho yile:
Nanso Onyankopɔn bi wɔ ɔsoro a ɔda kokoamsɛm adi, na wakyerɛ ɔhene Nebukadnessar asɛm a ebesi daakye. Wo dae no ne anisoadehu a bere a woda wo mpa so no wuhui ni:
29 Wathi ulele khonapho nkosi, ingqondo yakho yaphatha izinto ezisezakuza, kwathi umhlahluli wezinkinga wakubonisa okuzakwenzakala.”
“Nana, bere a woreda no, wʼadwene kosisii nsɛm bi a ebesisi so. Nea ɔkyerɛ ahintasɛm mu no akyerɛ wo nea ɛrebɛba.
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.
Na ɛnyɛ sɛ, Nana, minim nyansa kyɛn onipa teasefo biara nti, na mmom Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ Nana nya ahintasɛm no nkyerɛase na ɔte nea ɛbaa nʼadwene mu no ase.
31 Wathi uyakhangela, Oh nkosi, wabona kumi phambi kwakho isithombe esikhulukazi, inkalakatha yesithombe esikhazimulayo, sisesabeka ukukhangeleka kwaso.
“Nana, wʼanisoadehu no mu, wuhuu ohoni kɛse bi sɛ ogyina wʼanim a ɔso pa ara na ɛheran hyerɛnn, na ne ho yɛ hu yiye.
32 Ikhanda lesithombe lalenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo, isifuba saso lezingalo kubunjwe ngesiliva, isisu lemilenze kubunjwe ngethusi,
Sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛɛ ne ti; Dwetɛ na wɔde yɛɛ ne koko ne nʼabasa. Kɔbere na wɔde yɛɛ ne yafunu ne nʼasrɛ.
33 imibala ibunjwe ngensimbi, inyawo zaso zilengxenye yensimbi lenye ingxenye yebumba elitshisiweyo.
Dade na wɔde yɛɛ nʼanan, na wɔde dade ne dɔte a wɔde afra yɛɛ ne nansabon.
34 Wathi ulokhu usabukele, kwaqetshulwa ilitshe, kungesingazandla zamuntu. Lasigxoba isithombe ezinyaweni zaso zensimbi lebumba lazihlifiza.
Na, Nana, worehwɛ no, ɔbo bi a nsa biara nkura mu, tew bɛhwee dade ne dɔte nansabon no so, pɛtɛw no pasaa.
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.
Afei Nana, ohoni mu no nyinaa, a ɛyɛ dade, dɔte, kɔbere, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ no nyinaa yam fekɔfekɔ, maa ɛyɛɛ sɛ ahuhurubere mu awiporowbea so ntɛtɛ, maa mframa behuw ne nyinaa kɔe a, hwee anka hɔ. Nanso ɔbo a ɛpem ohoni no hwee fam no dan bepɔw kɛse a ɛkataa asase nyinaa so.
36 Leli bekuyilo iphupho, manje-ke sesizalichazela inkosi.
“Nana, dae no ni o, afei, yɛrebɛkyerɛ wo ase.
37 Wena, Oh nkosi uyinkosi yamakhosi. UNkulunkulu wasezulwini ukunikile umbuso, lamandla lobukhulu lodumo;
Nana, woyɛ ahene bebree so hene. Ɔsoro Nyankopɔn ayɛ wo ahene mu hene, ama wo tumi, ahoɔden ne anuonyam.
38 uluntu lonke ulunikele ezandleni zakho kanye lezinyamazana zeganga lezinyoni zemoyeni. Loba zihlala ngaphi, ukwenze wena waba ngumbusi wakho konke. Ulikhanda leliyana legolide.
Ɔde wiase nnipa, mmoa a wɔwɔ wuram ne nnomaa a wotu ahyɛ wo nsa. Baabiara a wɔwɔ no, wɔayɛ wo wɔn sodifo. Wo na woyɛ saa sikakɔkɔɔ ti no.
39 Ngemva kwakho, kuzakuba khona omunye umbuso, ophansi kulowakho. Kuzalandela owesithathu owethusi ozabusa umhlaba wonke.
“Na wʼahenni aba nʼawiei akyi no, ahemman a ɛnto wo de no bɛsɔre abesi wʼanan mu. Sɛ saa ahemman no gu a, ahemman kɛse foforo a ɛto so abiɛsa a kɔbere yafunu ne asrɛ no gyina hɔ ma no no bɛsɔre adi wiase so.
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.
Nea ebedi saa ahemman no akyi no, ɛbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛto so anan a so na ahoɔden wɔ te sɛ dade. Saa ahemman no bebubu, ayam aman a adi kan no nyinaa te sɛnea dade bubu yam biribiara a ɛne no hyia no.
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.
Nana, sɛnea wuhu sɛ nansabon ne nansoaa yɛ dade ne dɔte a adi afra no kyerɛ sɛ, saa ahemman yi mu bɛkyekyɛ.
42 Njengoba amazwane abelengxenye yensimbi, lengxenye yebumba, kanjalo umbuso lo uzakuba lamandla nganxanye, nganxanye ubucuzeke.
Nʼafaafa bi bɛyɛ den sɛ dade, na bi ayɛ mmerɛw sɛ dɔte.
43 Njalo njengoba ubonile insimbi ixubene lebumba elitshisiweyo, kanjalo abantu bazakuba yinhlanganisela bahlale bengamanyananga, njengoba insimbi ingahlangani lebumba.
Saa dade ne dɔte mfrafrae no san kyerɛ sɛ, saa ahemman no bɛyɛ nnipa ahorow a wɔadi afra a wontumi nka wɔn ho mmɔ mu sɛnea dade ne dɔte ntumi nni afra no.
44 “Ngalesosikhathi samakhosi lawo uNkulunkulu wasezulwini uzabeka umbuso ongasoze wabhidlizwa lanini njalo ongasoze utshiyelwe abanye abantu. Uzayibhidliza yonke leyomibuso iphele, kodwa wona uzakuma laphakade.”
“Saa ahemfo no adedi mu no, Ɔsoro Nyankopɔn bɛbɔ ahemman bi atenase a ɛrensɛe da; na obiara renni so da. Ebedwiriw ahemman ahorow yi nyinaa de wɔn aba awiei, na ɛno de, ebegyina afebɔɔ.
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.”
Ɔbo no a nsa biara nkura mu na etwa fii bepɔw no so a ɛyam dade, kɔbere, dɔte, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ mfrafrae ohoni no gyina hɔ ma saa ɔman no. “Onyankopɔn kɛse akyerɛ Nana, nea ɛbɛba daakye. Dae no yɛ nokware, na ne nkyerɛase yɛ kann.”
46 Inkosi uNebhukhadineza wazilahla wathi mbo phambi kukaDanyeli wamkhonza wakhupha ilizwi lokuthi kenzelwe umnikelo atshiselwe impepha njalo.
Ɔhene Nebukadnessar bɔɔ ne mu ase wɔ Daniel anim, som no, na ɔhyɛɛ ne manfo se, wɔmfa afɔrebɔde mmra, na wɔnhyew aduhuam wɔ nʼanim.
47 Inkosi yathi kuDanyeli, “Ngempela uNkulunkulu wakho nguNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu leNkosi yamakhosi lomambuleli wezimfihlakalo, ngoba ukwazile ukwambula imfihlakalo le.”
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Daniel se, “Nokware, wo Nyankopɔn yɛ Nyankopɔn wɔ anyame mu; ɔyɛ Awurade wɔ ahene so ahintasɛm mu kyerɛfo, efisɛ wo na woatumi akyerɛ saa kokoamsɛm yi mu.”
48 Inkosi yasibeka uDanyeli esikhundleni esiphezulu yelekelela ngezipho ezinengi kuye. Yamenza waba ngumbusi kulolonke ilizwe laseBhabhiloni njalo waba ngumphathi wazo zonke izazi zakhona.
Afei, ɔhene no maa Daniel dibea a ɛkorɔn yiye san yɛɛ no ayɛ a ɛsom bo yiye. Ɔmaa Daniel hwɛɛ Babilonia amantam no nyinaa so, na ɔde no sii nʼanyansafo no nyinaa so hene.
49 Isicelwe nguDanyeli, yaphinde yabeka uShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko baba ngabaphathi beziqinti zelizwe laseBhabhiloni, kodwa yena uDanyeli wasala esigodlweni.
Daniel ka ma wɔyɛɛ Sadrak, Mesak ne Abednego, Babilonia asase no so ahwɛfo, na Daniel yɛɛ ɔsomfo wɔ ɔhene aban mu.
