UDanyeli 4
1 Inkosi uNebhukhadineza, Ezizweni zonke lebantwini benhlanga zonke abahlala emhlabeni wonke: Sengathi inganda kini inhlalakahle!
Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el supwalik sap soko inge nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac kain kas nukewa fin faclu, su fahk ouinge: “Paing kowos!
2 Kuyintokozo kimi ukulitshela ngezibonakaliso ezimangalisayo lezinkinga uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke angenzele zona.
Porongo ma nga ac fahk ke ouiya sakirik ac usrnguk su God Fulatlana El akkalemye nu sik.
3 Zinkulu kangakanani izibonakaliso zakhe,
“Fuka yokiyen ma usrnguk God El ikasla nu sesr! Fuka lupan kuiyen mwenmen ma El oru! God El tokosra nwe tok ma pahtpat. El ac fah leum fin ma nukewa in pacl nukewa!
4 Mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngangisekhaya esigodlweni sami, nganelisiwe njalo ngikhomba ngophakathi.
“Nga, Nebuchadnezzar, tuh muta arulana misla inkul sik, ac insewowokin kasrup luk.
5 Ngehlelwa liphupho elangitshayisa uvalo. Ngathi ngilele embhedeni wami kwafika engqondweni yami izifanekiso lezibonakaliso ezangithuthumelisayo.
Tusruktu nga tuh oru sie mweme na aksangeng, ac liye kutu aruruma su nga arulana tuninfongla kac ke nga motul.
6 Ngasengilaya ukuthi zonke izihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni zilethwe phambi kwami ukuthi zingihlahlulele lelophupho.
Nga tuh sapkin in utukeni mwet kasru fulat nukewa in acn Babylon elos in tuh fahkma nu sik kalmen mweme sac.
7 Kwathi sebefikile omasalamusi, lezangoma, lezingcazi zezinkanyezi lezanuse ngazitshela lelophupho kodwa zehluleka ukungichasisela lona.
Na mwet susfa, mwet inutnut, mwet mwenmen, ac mwet lutlut ke ma oan yen engyeng uh nukewa utukeni, ac nga fahkang nu selos mweme se luk ah, a elos tia ku in aketeya nu sik.
8 Ekucineni uDanyeli wafika kimi ngamtshela ngephupho lelo. (Uthiwa nguBhelitheshazari, ngokuphathelene lebizo likankulunkulu wami, njalo umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele uphakathi kwakhe.)
Na Daniel el utyak. (Itukyang pac inel Belteshazzar, tuh elan us inen god se luk.) Ngunin god mutal uh oan in el, na nga fahkak mweme se luk ah nu sel. Nga fahk ouinge nu sel:
9 Ngathi kuye, Bhelitheshazari, nduna yabomasalamusi, ngiyazi ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele uphakathi kwakho, njalo kakukho okuyinkinga kuwe. Nanti iphupho lami; ngihlahlulela lona.
“Belteshazzar, su fulat inmasrlon mwet susfa uh, nga etu lah ngunin god mutal uh oan in kom, ac kom etu ma lukma nukewa. Pa inge mweme se luk uh. Fahkma lah mea kalmac uh.
10 Yile imibono eyangivelelayo ngilele embhedeni wami: Ngakhangela, ngabona kumi phambi kwami isihlahla phakathi komango. Ubude baso babule.
“Ke nga tuh motul ah, nga arurumai soko sak na lulap su tu infulwen faclu.
11 Isihlahla sakhula saba sikhulu saqina, isiqongo saso sakhotha umkhathi; sasibonakala lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba.
Sak soko inge kap na kap nwe ke na sun acn elucng, ac mwet faclu nufon ku in liye.
12 Amahlamvu aso ayebukeka, izithelo zaso zinengi kuso kukhona ukudla kwakho konke. Ngaphansi kwaso izinyamazana zeganga zafumana isiphephelo lezinyoni zemoyeni zazihlala emagatsheni aso; zonke izidalwa zisongiwa kuso.
Sra kac uh arulana kato, ac fahko kac arulana ungung, fal in kiteya mwet faclu nufon. Kosro lemnak uh mongla ye lulin sak uh, won uh orala ahng lalos ke lesak uh, ac kain in ma moul nukewa mongo ke fokin sak soko inge.
13 Ezibonakalisweni ezeza ngilele embhedeni wami, ngakhangela, ngabona khonapho phambi kwami kulesithunywa, singongcwele, sisehla sisuka ezulwini.
“Ke nga srakna nunku ke aruruma se inge, nga liye sie mwet na mutal oatume inkusrao me, su arulana liyaten in ma nukewa.
14 Samemeza ngelizwi elikhulu sathi: Gamulelani phansi isihlahla licakaze amagatsha aso; liwaphundle amahlamvu aso lihlakaze izithelo zaso. Yekelani izinyamazana zibaleke ngaphansi kwaso kanye lezinyoni emagatsheni aso.
Ac el fahkak ke sie pusra lulap, ‘Pakiya sak soko an, ac wotela lah kac an; yolla sra kac, ac sisalik fahko an. Lusak kosro ingan liki ye sak soko an, ac won uh liki lesak an.
15 Kodwa akuthi isidindi saso kanye lempande zakhona kusale kugxumekile emhlabathini phakathi kotshani beganga, kubotshiwe ngensimbi langethusi. Kagxanxwe ngamazolo avela phezulu, njalo kahlale lezinyamazana phakathi kwezihlahla zeganga.
Ac filiya sruen sak sacn in oanna infohk uh, ac loseni ke mwe lohl orekla ke osra iron ac bronze. Filiya in oanna ke mah inima uh. “‘Na lela aunfong uh in sroksrokkinya mwet se inge, ac lela elan muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh, ac sak inima uh.
16 Ingqondo yakhe kayiguqulwe isuke ebuntwini, aphiwe ingqondo yenyamazana, kuze kudlule iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Ke lusen yac itkosr el ac fah tia nunak oana mwet uh, a el ac nunak oana kosro uh.
17 “‘Isinqumo lesi sibikwa yizithunywa, zona ezingcwele yizo ezimemezela lesi isigwebo, ukuze kuthi abaphilayo bazi ukuthi oPhezukonke unguThixo yemibuso yabantu njalo uyabanikela loba kukubani amfunayo futhi enze babuswe ngumuntukazana.’
Pa inge ma lipufan liyaten ac asmak uh wotela uh. Ke ma inge lela mwet in acn nukewa in etu lah oasr ku lun God Fulatlana fin tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in eisalosyang nu sin kutena mwet ma El lungse eisalosyang nu se — finne mwet ma pilesreyuk oemeet uh.’”
18 Yilo iphupho engibe lalo mina inkosi uNebhukhadineza. Manje-ke Bhelitheshazari, ngitshela ukuthi litshoni, ngoba kasikho isihlakaniphi embusweni wami esingangihlahlulela lona. Kodwa wena ungakwenza, ngoba umoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele uphakathi kwakho.”
Ac Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el fahk, “Pa inge mweme se luk ah. Inge, Belteshazzar, fahkma lah mea kalmac uh. Wangin sie sin mwet kasru luk inge ku in akkalemye nu sik, a kom ku mweyen ngunin god mutal uh oan in kom.”
19 Yikho uDanyeli (njalo othiwa nguBhelitheshazari) wakhathazeka kakhulu okwesikhathi esithile, imicabango yakhe yamethusa. Yikho inkosi yasisithi, “Bhelitheshazari, ungethuswa liphupho lelo kumbe yincazelo yalo.” UBhelitheshazari waphendula wathi, Nkosi yami, sengathi ngabe iphupho lelo liqonde labo abayizitha zakho lengcazelo yalo ikhomba labo abakuzondayo!
Ke ma inge, Daniel su oayapa pangpang Belteshazzar, el arulana lut ac koflana fahk kutena ma. Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Belteshazzar, nimet lela mweme sac, ku kalmen mweme sac in akfohsye kom.” Belteshazzar el topuk ac fahk, “O Tokosra, nga kena tuh mweme sac ac aketeya kac uh in ma nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, ac in tia ma nu sum.
20 Isihlahla osibonileyo, esakhula saba sikhulu saqina, isiqongo saso sikhotha isibhakabhaka size sibonakale emhlabeni wonke,
Sak soko ma arulana fulat ac sun acn elucg ingan, ku in liyeyuk sin mwet nukewa fin faclu.
21 silamahlamvu abukekayo lezithelo ezinengi, sisipha ukudla kukho konke, siphe isiphephelo izinyamazana zeganga, emagatsheni aso silezindawo zezidleke zezinyoni zemoyeni,
Sra kac uh arulana kato, ac fahko uh ku in kiteya mwet fin faclu nufon. Kosro lemnak uh mongla ye lulin sak soko ah, ac won uh orek ahng ke lesak uh.
22 wena, Oh nkosi, uyilesosihlahla! Usube mkhulu waba lamandla; ubukhulu bakho sebandile sebuze buthinta isibhakabhaka, lombuso wakho usufinyelela ezindaweni ezikude ezomhlaba.
“O Tokosra, kom pa sak soko ma arulana fulat ac fokoko inge. Kom kapak nwe arulana fulat, oru kom sun acn elucng, ac ku lom uh fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon.
23 “Wena, Oh nkosi, wabona isithunywa, sona esingcwele, sisehla sivela ezulwini sisithi, ‘Sigamuleleni phansi isihlahla lisicakaze, kodwa litshiye isidindi, sibotshiwe ngensimbi langethusi, siphakathi kotshani beganga, impande zaso zisale emhlabathini. Kagxanxwe ngamazolo aphezulu; kaphile njengezinyamazana zeganga kuze kudlule iminyaka eyisikhombisa.’
Ke Tokosra srakna intoein ma inge, lipufan se oatui inkusrao me ac fahk, ‘Pakiya sak soko an ac kunausla, tusruk filiya srua an in oanna. Loseni ke sie mwe lohl ma orekla ke osra iron ac bronze, ac filiya in oanna ke mah inima uh. Lela aunfong uh in sroksrokkinya mwet se inge, ac lela elan mutana inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh ke yac itkosr.’
24 Nansi ingcazelo, Oh nkosi, njalo lesi yisimiso soPhezukonke asimisele umhlekazi wami inkosi:
“O Tokosra, pa inge kalmen mweme sac, ac pa inge ma God Fulatlana El fahk mu ac sikyak nu sum uh.
25 Uzaxotshwa ebantwini uyehlala lezinyamazana zeganga: uzakudla utshani njengezinkomo, ugxanxwe ngamazolo aphezulu. Kuzakudlula iminyaka eyisikhombisa uze uvume ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa phezu kwemibuso yabantu ayinika ingqe ngulowo amthandayo.
Ac fah lillilyak kom liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kom fah muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak uh. Ke lusen yac itkosr kom ac fah mongo mah oana soko ox, ac motul inima uh, yen kom ac aksroksrokyeyuk ke aunfong uh. Tukun ma inge, kom ac fah fahk lah pwaye God Fulatlana El nununku tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in sang tokosrai nu sin kutena mwet El lungse sang nu se.
26 Umlayo wokutshiya isidindi kanye lezimpande zaso utsho ukuthi umbuso wakho uzabuyiselwa kuwe nxatshana usuvuma ukuthi iZulu liyabusa.
Lipufan sac tuh sapkin mu sruen sak sac in fili in oanna infohk uh. Kalmac pa kom ac sifilpa tokosrala tukun kom akilenak lah God El leumi faclu nufon.
27 Ngakho-ke, Oh nkosi, kuhle ukuthi wamukele ukucebisa kwami: Yekela izono zakho wenze okulungileyo, lobubi bakho ube lomusa kwabancindezelweyo. Lapho-ke mhlawumbe ukuphumelela kwakho kungaqhubeka.”
Ke ma inge, O Tokosra, oru oana ma nga ac fahk nu sum uh. Nimet kom sifil oru ma koluk, a oru ma wo ac kulang nu sin mwet sukasrup. Kom fin oru ouinge, na ac srakna wo ouiyom.”
28 Konke lokhu kwenzakala enkosini uNebhukhadineza.
Ma inge nukewa sikyak nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Sekudlule izinyanga ezilitshumi lambili, inkosi ihambahamba ephahleni lwesigodlo saseBhabhiloni,
Malem na singoul luo tukun ma inge, ke el forfor fin acn lucng ke lohm sel in Babylon,
30 yathi, “Kakusilo yini iBhabhiloni leli engalakha laba ngumuzi wobukhosi bami na?”
el fahk, “Liye oaskuiyen acn Babylon! Nga musaela tuh in pa siti fulat in tokosrai luk, in akkalemye wal, ku, wolana, ac fulatlana luk.”
31 Kwathi amazwi la elokhu esesemlonyeni wakhe kwehla ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi, “Nanku osukunqunyelwe, nkosi Nebhukhadineza: Amandla akho obukhosi asesusiwe kuwe.
Soenna safla ma el fahk uh, na sie pusra kasla inkusrao me ac fahk, “Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, porongo ma nga ac fahk uh! Inge wal in tokosra lom itukla liki kom.
32 Uzaxotshwa ebantwini uyehlala lezinyamazana zeganga; uzakudla utshani njengezinkomo. Kuzadlula iminyaka eyisikhombisa uze uvume ukuthi oPhezukonke uyabusa phezu kwemibuso yabantu ayiphe ingqe ngubani ngokuthanda kwakhe.”
Ac fah lisyukyak kom liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kom fah muta inmasrlon kosro lemnak, ac mongo mah oana soko ox ke lusen yac itkosr. Tukun pacl sacn, na kom ac fah akilenak lah pwaye oasr ku lun God Fulatlana fin tokosrai nukewa lun mwet uh, ac El ku in sang tokosrai uh nu sin kutena mwet El lungse sang nu se.”
33 Masinyane nje okwakutshiwo ngoNebhukhadineza kwagcwaliseka. Waxotshwa ebantwini wadla utshani njengezinkomo. Umzimba wakhe wagxanxwa ngamazolo aphezulu, inwele zakhe zakhula njengezinsiba zengqungqulu, kwathi inzipho zakhe zaba njengenkumba zenyoni.
In kitin pacl ah na kas inge akpwayeiyuk. Nebuchadnezzar el lisyukyak liki inmasrlon mwet uh, ac mongo mah oana soko ox. Aunfong uh aksroksrokye manol, ac unac kacl uh loeselik oana unen eagle uh, ac tokinpaol loes oana tokinnien won uh.
34 Ekupheleni kwalesosikhathi, mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngaphakamisela amehlo ami ezulwini, ingqondo yami yabuya. Ngasengimdumisa oPhezukonke; ngambabaza, ngambonga yena ohlezi kuze kube phakade.
Tokosra el fahk, “Ke safla yac itkosr ah, nga ngetak nu inkusrao ac sifil kalemak nunak luk. Nga kaksakin God Fulatlana, ac sang sunak ac wolana nu sel su moul nwe tok. “El fah leumi ma nukewa nwe tok ma pahtpat, Ac ac fah wangin safliyen tokosrai lal.
35 Imihlobo yonke yabantu bomhlaba
El ngeta liye mwet fin faclu oana ma lusrongten; Lipufan inkusrao ac mwet fin faclu Muta ye ku lal. Wangin sie mwet ku in lain lungse lal. Ku kusen siyuk ke ma El oru.
36 Ngasonalesosikhathi ingqondo yami yabuya, udumo lwami lenkazimulo yami kwabuyiswa kimi ukusekela ubukhosi bombuso wami. Abeluleki bami lezikhulu zami bangidinga bangibuyisela esihlalweni sami sobukhosi, ngase ngisiba mkhulu kulakuqala.
“Ke pacl ma sifil kalemak nunak luk, na folokinyukme sunak, wal fulat luk ac wolana nukewa lun tokosrai luk. Mwet pwapa fulat luk ac mwet leum elos paingyu, ac wal fulat luk folokinyukme yohk liki na meet ah.
37 Ngakho-ke mina, Nebhukhadineza, ngiyayidumisa njalo ngiyayibabaza, ngiyiphakamise iNkosi yezulu, ngoba konke ekwenzayo kuqondile futhi lezindlela zayo zonke zilungile. Njalo bonke abazigqajayo iyabathobisa.
“Ac inge, nga, Nebuchadnezzar, sunakin, kaksakin, ac akfulatye Tokosra in Kusrao. Ma nukewa El oru uh pwaye ac suwohs, ac El ku in akpusiselyela kutena mwet su inse fulat in orekma lal.”
