UDanyeli 7
1 Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaBhelishazari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uDanyeli waphupha iphupho, kwaphithika imibono engqondweni yakhe elele embhedeni wakhe. Wakubhala phansi okwakuqukethwe liphupho lakhe.
I KA makahiki mua o Belehazara, ke alii o Babulona, he moe uhane ko Daniela, a me ka lia o kona poo maluna o kona wahi moe. Alaila palapala iho la o Daniela i ua moe la, a hoike aku ia i ka nui o ia mau mea.
2 UDanyeli wathi: “Embonweni wami ebusuku ngakhangela ngabona phambi kwami imimoya emine yasezulwini iqubula ulwandle olukhulu.
Olelo aku la o Daniela, i aku, Ua ike au ma ko'u hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi, ua paio ikaika ae la ua makani eha o ka lani maluua iho o ke kai nui.
3 Izilo ezine ezinkulu, yileso singafanani lezinye, zaqhamuka olwandle.
A hoea mai la na holoholona nui eha mailoko mai o ke kai, ua like ole ko lakou ano kekahi me kekahi.
4 Esakuqala sasinjengesilwane, njalo silamaphiko engqungqulu. Ngabukela amaphiko aso aze akhutshwa, sasesiphakanyiswa emhlabathini sema ngezinyawo ezimbili njengomuntu, sasesiphiwa inhliziyo yomuntu.
O ka mua, ua like ia me ka liona, a he mau eheu aeto kona; ike aku la au a mokumokuia iho la kona mau eheu, a hapaiia ae la ia iluna mai ka honua ae, a hookuia ae la ma na wawae me he kanaka la, a haawiia aku he naau kanaka noua.
5 Khonapho phambi kwami kwakujame isilo sesibili esasifana lebhele. Sasiphakanyisiwe kwelinye icele laso, njalo emlonyeni waso sasilezimbambo ezintathu emazinyweni aso. Satshelwa kwathiwa, ‘Sukuma udle inyama usuthe!’
Aia hoi, kekahi holoholona e, o ka lua ia, o kona ano ua like ia me ka bea, hoala ae la oia ia ia iho ma kona aoao iho, aia hoi, ekolu iwi aoao iloko o kona waha iwaena o kona mau niho; a olelu ae la lakou ia ia, E ku ae oe, e ai i ka io he nui.
6 Ngemva kwalokho ngakhangela ngabona phambi kwami esinye isilo esasikhangeleka njengengwe. Emhlane waso sasilamaphiko amane afana lawenyoni. Isilo lesi sasilamakhanda amane, saphiwa amandla okuba sibuse.”
A mahope iho o keia, ike aku ia au, aia hoi kekahi, ua like me ka leopadi, a maluua o kona kua eha mau eheu manu; eha no hoi poo o ua holoholona la; a ua haawiia mai ia ia ke alii ana.
7 Ngemva kwalokho, embonweni wami ebusuku ngakhangela, kwathi phambi kwami kwema isilo sesine esithuthumelisayo, sisesabeka njalo silamandla amakhulu. Sasilamazinyo ensimbi amakhulu; safohloza esikubambileyo sakudla, okuseleyo sakugxobela phansi. Sasingafanani lazozonke izilo zakuqala, sona silempondo ezilitshumi.
A mahopo iho o keia, ike hou aku la au ma ka hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi kekahi holoholona e, o ka ha ia, he mea weliweli loa ia, he mea makau nui, he nui hoi kona ikaika; he mau niho hao nui kona, ua ai wale aku ia, a okaoka liilii, a hehi iho la ia i ke koena malalo o kona mau wawae; aole ia i like iki me na holoholona mamua. He umi hoi na pepeiaohao ona.
8 Ngisalokhu ngicabanga ngempondo lezo, khonapho phambi kwami kwaba lolunye uphondo oluncinyane olwama phakathi kwazo; kwathi ezintathu zempondo zakuqala zagunyulwa phambi kwalo. Uphondo lolu lwalulamehlo anjengamehlo omuntu lomlomo owawukhuluma okokuzikhukhumeza.
I ko'u noonoo ana i ua mau pepeiaohao la, aia hoi, kupu mai la iwaenakonu o lakou kekahi pepeiaohao uuku, uhukiia ae la imua ona na pepeiaohao mua ekolu: a iloko o ua pepeiaohao uuku la, aia hoi, he mau maka me he maka kanaka la, a he waha hoi e olelo ana i na mea nui.
9 “Ngisakhangele, kwabekwa izihlalo zobukhosi, uSimakade wahlala kwesakhe. Izigqoko zakhe zazimhlophe njengeqhwa; inwele zekhanda lakhe zimhlophe njengoboya bezimvu. Isihlalo sakhe sasilavuka umlilo, lamavili aso wonke evutha umlilo.
Ike aku la au, a ua kauia iho la na nohoalii, a ua noho mai la ka Makamua o na la, ua huali loa kona kapa e like me ka hau, a o ka lauoho o kona poo ua like me ka hulu hipa maemae; o kona nohoalii, ua like ia me ka lapalapa ana o ke ahi, a o kona mau kaa e like me ke ahi e aa ana.
10 Kwakugeleza umfula womlilo, uthutsha ngaphambi kwakhe. Izinkulungwane lezinkulungwane zazimkhonza; izinkulungwane ezilitshumi ziphindwe ngezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zema phambi kwakhe. Inkundla yokwahlulela yahlala phansi, kwasekuvulwa izincwadi.”
A puka mai la kekahi lapala pa ahi a kahe ae mai kona alo aku: lawelawe nona na tausani o na tausani, a ku iho la imua ona ua lehulehu o na lehulehu: ua hoonohoia iho la ka hookolokolo, a weheia ae la na buke.
11 Ngasengiqhubeka ngilokhu ngibukele ngenxa yamazwi okuzikhukhumeza ayekhulunywa luphondo. Ngala ngilokhu ngikhangele isilo saze sabulawa, isidumbu saso saphoselwa emlilweni ovuthayo.
Nana aku la au, a no ka leo o na huaolelo nui a ua pepeiaohao la i olelo ai; nana au a pepehiia iho la ka holoholona, a ua lukuia kona kino, a ua hooleiia no hoi ma ke ahi e aa ana.
12 (Leziyana ezinye izilo zase ziphuciwe ubukhulu bazo kodwa zavunyelwa ukuphila okwesikhathi esithile.)
A o na holoholona i koe, ua laweia'ku ko lakou alii ana; aka ua hooloihiia ko lakou ola ana no kekahi manawa a me ka wa.
13 Embonweni wami ebusuku ngakhangela kwabonakala khonapho phambi kwami lowo owayefana lendodana yomuntu esiza ngamayezi ezulu. Yasondela kuSimakade yasiwa phambi kwakhe.
A ike aku la no hoi au ma ka hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi, kekahi ua like ia me ke keiki a ke kanaka e hele mai ana ma na ao o ka lani, a hele mai no ia i ka Makamua o na la, a hookokoke lakou ia ia imua ona.
14 Yaphiwa amandla lobukhosi lamandla okubusa; bonke abantu, lezizwe zonke labantu bendimi zonke bamkhonza. Ubukhosi bakhe yibukhosi obungapheliyo obungayikwedlula, lombuso wakhe kawusoze uchithwe.
A ua haawiia mai nona ke alii ana, a me ka nani, a me ke aupuni, i hookauwa nana na lahuikanaka, a me ko na aina, a me na olelo e. O kona alii ana ua mau loa ia, aole ia e pau, a o kona aupuni, aole ia e auhulihia.
15 Mina Danyeli, ngakhathazeka emoyeni, lemibono eyayidlula engqondweni yami yangidabula.
Owau, o Daniela nei, ua kaumaha loa kuu naau iloko o kuu kino, a ua pihoihoi au i na lia o kuu poo.
16 Ngasondela komunye walabo ababemi khonapho ngambuza okuyikho okutshiwo yikho konke lokhu. Yikho wangitshela wangipha ingcazelo yezinto lezi, wathi:
Hookokoke aku la au i kekahi o na mea e ku ana malaila, a ninau aku la au ia ia i ka oiaio ana o keia mau mea a pau. Alaila hai mai la oia ia'u, a hoakaka mai ia'u i ke ano o keia mau mea.
17 “Izilo ezine ezinkulu yimibuso emine ezaqhamuka emhlabeni.
O keia mau holoholona nui eha, he mau alii lakou eha, na mea e hoea iluna mai ka honua ae.
18 Kodwa abangcwele bakhe oPhezukonke bazawemukela umbuso ube ngowabo lanininini, yebo, okwanini lanini.”
Aka, o na haipule o ka Mea kiekie loa, e lilo ia lakou ke aupuni; a ia lakou no ke aupuni ia ao aku, ia ao aku, a mau loa aku no.
19 Ngase ngifisa ukwazi ingcazelo eqotho eyesilo sesine, esasingafanani lezinye njalo sisesabeka kakhulu, ngamazinyo aso ensimbi lenzipho zethusi, isilo esafohloza sadla esikubambileyo sagxobagxoba okuseleyo.
Alaila, makemake aku la au e ike i ke ano o ka ha o ua mau holoholona la, i ka mea i ano e i ko lakou a pau, i ka mea weliweli loa, nona na niho hao, a me na maiuu keleawe; ka mea nana i luku a okaoka loa, a hehi no hoi i ke koena malalo o kona mau wawae;
20 Ngafuna njalo ukwazi ngempondo ezilitshumi ekhanda laso langalolo olunye uphondo olwamilayo, okwathi ezinye ezintathu zawa phambi kwalo lolophondo olwabonakala kakhulu kulezinye, olwalulamehlo kanye lomlomo owawukhuluma ngokukloloda.
A o kona mau pepeiaohao he umi maluna o kona poo, a me kekahi mea i kupu ae, ua hina hoi na mea ekolu imua ona; ua pepeiaohao la nona na maka, a me ka waha hoi e olelo ana i na mea nui, a ua oi aku ka ikaika o kona maka mamua o ko kona poe hoa.
21 Ngilokhu ngibukele, uphondo lolu lwalusilwa luhlasela abangcwele lubehlula,
Ike aku la au i ua pepeiaohao la e kaua aku ana ia i ka poe haipule, a lanakila ia maluna o lakou;
22 kwaze kwafika uMvelinqaki wabalamulela abangcwele bakhe oPhezukonke, kwafika isikhathi bawuthatha umbuso.
A hiki mai la ka Makamua o na la, a haawiia mai i ka poe haipule o ka Mea kiekie ka hoopai ana; a ua hiki mai ka manawa e lilo ai ke aupuni i ka poe haipule.
23 Wangipha ingcazelo le: Isilo sesine singumbuso wesine ozavela emhlabeni. Uzaba lomahluko kweminye yonke imibuso njalo uzawuthumba wonke umhlaba, uwugxobagxobe, uwufohloze.
Penei kana i i mai ai, O ka ha o ua mau holoholona la, o ka ha no ia o ke aupuni ma ka honua, he mea ano e ia i na aupuni a pau; a e luku loa ia i ko ka honua, a e hehi ia mea ilalo, a okaoka liilii loa.
24 Impondo ezilitshumi ngamakhosi alitshumi azavela kuwo lo umbuso. Ngemva kwawo kuzavela enye inkosi engafani lalayana awokuqala; izanqoba amakhosi amathathu.
A o na pepeiaohao he umi noloko mai no o keia aupuni, he mau alii ia he umi e ku mai ana; a o kekahi mea e ku mai ana no mahope o lakou; aole like ia me ka mea mua, a e luku hoi ia i na'lii ekolu.
25 Izakhuluma okubi ngoPhezukonke incindezele abangcwele bakhe izame ukuguqula izikhathi ezimisiweyo kanye lemithetho. Abangcwele bazanikelwa kuyo okwesikhathi esithile, izikhathi ezilengxenye yesikhathi.
A e olelo ia i na mea nui ku e i ka Mea kiekie, a e hookaumaha aku ia i ka poe haipule o ka Mea kiekie loa, a e manao iho no ia e hookahuli i na manawa, a me na kanawai; a e haawiia ia mau mea iloko o kona lima, a hiki i ka manawa, a me kekahi manawa, a me ka mahele o ka manawa.
26 Kodwa umthethwandaba uzahlala phansi, amandla ayo asuswe abhidlizwe okwanini lanini.
Alaila, e hoonohoia ka hookolokolo, a e laweia aku ke aupuni mai ona aku la, e hoopauia ua mea la, a e lukuia hoi, a hiki i ka hopeua.
27 Lapho-ke ubukhosi, lamandla lobukhulu bemibuso leyo ngaphansi kwezulu lonke kuzaphiwa abangcwele, abantu bakhe oPhezukonke. Umbuso wakhe uzakuba ngumbuso ongapheliyo, njalo bonke ababusi bazamkhonza bamlalele.
Aka, o ke aupuni, a me ke alii ana, a o ka nani o ke aupuni malalo iho o na lani a puni, e haawiia mai i na kanaka haipule o ka Mea kiekie, o kona aupuni he aupuni mau loa ia; ao na'lii a pau, e hookauwa aku, a e malama aku no hoi ia ia.
28 “Lokhu yikho ukuphela kwendaba. Mina Danyeli ngakhathazeka kakhulu ngemicabango yami, ubuso bami bahloba, kodwa indaba le yaba yimfihlo yami.”
Eia ka hope o keia mea; Owau, o Daniela, ua kaumaha au i kuu manao iho, ua ano e ko'u maka; aka, ua huna au i keia mea iloko o ko'u naau iho.
