UDanyeli 7
1 Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaBhelishazari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uDanyeli waphupha iphupho, kwaphithika imibono engqondweni yakhe elele embhedeni wakhe. Wakubhala phansi okwakuqukethwe liphupho lakhe.
Hagi Belsasa'ma agafa huno Babiloni kinima efore'ma huno mania kafufina, Danieli'a mago zupa sipa'are mase'neno ava'nagnaza keteno amanage huno avona krente'ne.
2 UDanyeli wathi: “Embonweni wami ebusuku ngakhangela ngabona phambi kwami imimoya emine yasezulwini iqubula ulwandle olukhulu.
Nagra Danieli'na kenage'ma mase'nena ava'nagna zama koana, ama mopafina maka asoparegatira zaho eazamo ra hagerina emeri kranto kranto hu'ne.
3 Izilo ezine ezinkulu, yileso singafanani lezinye, zaqhamuka olwandle.
Anama hutege'na koana, hagerimpintira 4'a tusizankna ruzahu ruzahu afi'zaga atiramiza e'naze.
4 Esakuqala sasinjengesilwane, njalo silamaphiko engqungqulu. Ngabukela amaphiko aso aze akhutshwa, sasesiphakanyiswa emhlabathini sema ngezinyawo ezimbili njengomuntu, sasesiphiwa inhliziyo yomuntu.
Kotama atirami'nea afi zagamo'a laionigna higeno, tumpamofoma hiaza huno ageko'na hunte'ne. Anante negoge'za ana afi'zagamofo ageko'na eri ampukasi atre'naze. Anama hute'za atrazageno'a vahe'mo'ma hiaza huno, tare agiareti mopare reno oti'ne. Hagi ana afi'zagamofona vahe antahintahi ami'ne.
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!’
Anante nampa 2 afi'zagama koana beagna hu'neankino, agia mopafi reno oti'nege'na kogeno, mago zagamofona 3'a asoza zaferina agipi haninkofi'ne. Anante antahugeno mago vahe'mofo agerumo'a asamino, Otio! Otinka nama'a vahe'mofo avufgama nenaku'ma hanunka no hu'ne.
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.”
Anante nampa 3 afi'zagama ke'noana lepatigna higeno, amagenafina namamofoma hiaza huno 4'a agekona huntegeno, 4'a aseni hunte'nea zaga efore hige'na ke'noe. Ana higeno ana zagamofona mikazama kegavama hu hihamu hankavea ami'ne.
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.
Hagi anante kenage'ma ava'nagna zama kofina, magora nampa 4 afi zaga ke'noe. Ana zagamofona koro huga avugosa huntenegeno, hankavenentake hu'neno ainire ave hunte'neankino, ana aveteti ha'ma huntaza vahera anintrantru huno neneno zamatrea vahe'enena agianuti maka rentrantru ahe vagare'ne. Ana zagamo'a 3'a afi zagagafa zamagatereno ruzahu hu'neankino, 10ni'a pazive asenifina hunte'nege'na ke'noe.
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.
Hanki ana zagamofo 10ni'a pazivetamima negogeno'a, ana pazivemokizmi amu'no zamifintira ame huno mago osi pazive mareri'ne. Ana pazivemo'a ko'ma me'nea 3'a pazivetamina retagre netreno, zamagri nona eri'ne. Ana osi pazivemofona vahe avurgagna avurgarare hunte'negeno, agi'ma hunte'nefintira veganokno ke nehuno, avufga erisgahu naneke nehige'na antahi'noe.
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.
Ana ava'nafima koge'za kini trara eri'za e'za noma'are erinte fatgo hu'za eme nentage'na ke'noe. Anama hutazageno'a korapa'ma mani'neno, mani vava nehia Anumzamo'a tra'a erino mani'neno vahe refko huzmantenaku eme ante'ne. Kukenama hu'nea kukenamo'a efeke hampomo hiaza huno efenentake nehigeno, azokamo'a efenentake hu'ne. Hagi agrama mani'nea kini tra'mofona tevemo hagna hagna nehigeno, anama mani'nea tra'mofo wirifina tevemo akarukaru huno nerege'na ke'noe.
10 Kwakugeleza umfula womlilo, uthutsha ngaphambi kwakhe. Izinkulungwane lezinkulungwane zazimkhonza; izinkulungwane ezilitshumi ziphindwe ngezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zema phambi kwakhe. Inkundla yokwahlulela yahlala phansi, kwasekuvulwa izincwadi.”
Ana nehigeno agrama mani'nefintira teve tirupinti tinkna huno varehirami varehirami huno tevemo'a e'ne. Ana nehige'za tausen tausenia agatereno rama'a vahetamimo'za agri tvaontera mani'neza agri eri'zana erinentazageno, ohampriga'a vahe krerfamo'za Agri avuga oti'naze. Anante keagafina ufreno agafa huno keaga refko hu'za higeno, avontafe tamimo'a ru vakarente vagarege'na ke'noe.
11 Ngasengiqhubeka ngilokhu ngibukele ngenxa yamazwi okuzikhukhumeza ayekhulunywa luphondo. Ngala ngilokhu ngikhangele isilo saze sabulawa, isidumbu saso saphoselwa emlilweni ovuthayo.
Hagi ana ava'nafima koana ana osi pazivemo'a tusiza huno avufga erisga hu nanekea nehige'na ke'noe. Ana nehige'na negoge'za nampa 4 afi zaga ahe'za avufga'a tevefi kre fanane hu'naze.
12 (Leziyana ezinye izilo zase ziphuciwe ubukhulu bazo kodwa zavunyelwa ukuphila okwesikhathi esithile.)
Hagi ana 3'a afi zaga kafamokizmia hihamu hankave zamia eri atre'neanagi, huhampri ante'nea kna'ama esigu osi'a kna zamatrege'za mani'naze.
13 Embonweni wami ebusuku ngakhangela kwabonakala khonapho phambi kwami lowo owayefana lendodana yomuntu esiza ngamayezi ezulu. Yasondela kuSimakade yasiwa phambi kwakhe.
Ana kenage'ma mago'anema ke'noa ava'nafina, vahe'mofo mofavregna ne'mo hampompi mani'neno monafintira e'ne. Ana hume eazamo korapa'ma mani'neno manivava huno ne-ea Anumzamo'ma mani'nea tavaonte egeno agrama nemanifinka avreno ufre'ne.
14 Yaphiwa amandla lobukhosi lamandla okubusa; bonke abantu, lezizwe zonke labantu bendimi zonke bamkhonza. Ubukhosi bakhe yibukhosi obungapheliyo obungayikwedlula, lombuso wakhe kawusoze uchithwe.

15 Mina Danyeli, ngakhathazeka emoyeni, lemibono eyayidlula engqondweni yami yangidabula.
Hagi nagra Danieli'na ana ava'nama ketena tusi antri nehugeno, nagu'amo'a kna nehige'na, antahintahi hakare hu'noe.
16 Ngasondela komunye walabo ababemi khonapho ngambuza okuyikho okutshiwo yikho konke lokhu. Yikho wangitshela wangipha ingcazelo yezinto lezi, wathi:
Ana hige'na Anumzamo'ma nemania kini tra'mofo tvaonte'ma mani'za vahepi mago'mofonte vu'na, ana ava'namofo agu'agesa'a eri ama hunka nasamio hu'na antahige'noe. Anama hugeno'a amanage huno eri ama huno nasami'ne.
17 “Izilo ezine ezinkulu yimibuso emine ezaqhamuka emhlabeni.
Kagrama 4'a afi zagagafama ava'nafima ke'nana zamofo agu'agesamo'a amana hu'ne, ama mopafintira 4'a hankavenentake kinia efore hugahaze.
18 Kodwa abangcwele bakhe oPhezukonke bazawemukela umbuso ube ngowabo lanininini, yebo, okwanini lanini.”
Hianagi marerisa Anumzamofo avure'ma ruotage'ma hu'naza vahe'amokizmia, ana mopa zamisnige'za kegava hu vava hu'za vugahaze.
19 Ngase ngifisa ukwazi ingcazelo eqotho eyesilo sesine, esasingafanani lezinye njalo sisesabeka kakhulu, ngamazinyo aso ensimbi lenzipho zethusi, isilo esafohloza sadla esikubambileyo sagxobagxoba okuseleyo.
Hagi nampa 4 afi zagama ke'noa zamofo agu'agesa'a eri ama huno nasamisniegu hu'noe. Na'ankure agra mago'a afi zagakfa zamagatereno ruzahu hu'neankino, vahera zamazeri koro huga zaga mani'ne. Ana hu'neankino agri'ma ha'ma hunte'naku'ma nehaza vahera ainire aveteti'ene bronsire azankonuti anintrantru neheno atreama'a agareti rehapa titre'ne.
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.
Anazanke hu'na ana zagamofo asenifima 10ni'a pazive'ma me'nea zamofonku'ene, 3'a pazive'ma retagare netreno'ma zamagri noma eri'nea osi pazive'mofo agu'agesa'a eri ama huno nasamisniegu hu'noe. Ana osi pazivemo'a ruzahu huno mago'a pazivera zamagatere neankino, vahe avurga huntegeno agi'enena hunte'neankino, ana agipintira ke hakarea nehuno avufga erisga hu naneke hu'ne.
21 Ngilokhu ngibukele, uphondo lolu lwalusilwa luhlasela abangcwele lubehlula,
Ana ava'nafima kogeno'a ana pazivemo'a Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nea vahera ha' huzmagatere'ne.
22 kwaze kwafika uMvelinqaki wabalamulela abangcwele bakhe oPhezukonke, kwafika isikhathi bawuthatha umbuso.
Anama nehigeno'a Marerisa Anumzama korapa mani'neno mani vavama huno ne-ea Anumzamo anante eno, keaga eme refko huno agra vahe'a zamaza hu'ne. Anama hutege'za Anumzamofo vahe'mo'zama kinima mani'za maka zama kegavama hanaza knamo'a ehanati'ne.
23 Wangipha ingcazelo le: Isilo sesine singumbuso wesine ozavela emhlabeni. Uzaba lomahluko kweminye yonke imibuso njalo uzawuthumba wonke umhlaba, uwugxobagxobe, uwufohloze.
Anante amanage huno eriama huno nasami'ne, nampa 4 afi zagama ke'nana zamofo agafa'amo'a, nampa 4 hankave kuma efore hugahiankino, ruga'amokizmia zamagatereno ruzahu kna hugahiankino, maka ama mopafi vahera zamazeri haviza nehuno, agiareti zamare hapatigahie.
24 Impondo ezilitshumi ngamakhosi alitshumi azavela kuwo lo umbuso. Ngemva kwawo kuzavela enye inkosi engafani lalayana awokuqala; izanqoba amakhosi amathathu.
Hanki 10ni'a pazive'ma ke'nana zamofo agafa'amo'a, anama hankavenentake kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nesnia mopafintira 10ni'a kini vahe efore hu'za mopa kegava hugahaze. Anama hutesnageno'a, anantera mago kini efore huno mopa kegava hugahie. Hianagi 10ni'a kini vahera ru zamagtereno ruzahukna hugahiankino, 3'a kini vahera zamazeri atregahie.
25 Izakhuluma okubi ngoPhezukonke incindezele abangcwele bakhe izame ukuguqula izikhathi ezimisiweyo kanye lemithetho. Abangcwele bazanikelwa kuyo okwesikhathi esithile, izikhathi ezilengxenye yesikhathi.
Ana kini ne'mo'a Marerisa Anumzamofo agia huhaviza hunenteno, Anumzamo'ma huhampari zamante'nesnia vahera zamazeri haviza hugahie. Ana nehuno mono'ma nehu'za musenkasema nehaza knane, kasegenena eri ruzahe nehuno, agrama kegavama huzmantesniana 3'a kafugi 6si'a ikamofo agu'afi kegava huzmantegahie.
26 Kodwa umthethwandaba uzahlala phansi, amandla ayo asuswe abhidlizwe okwanini lanini.
Hianagi Anumzamo'a keagafi azeri otino refko hunenteno, maka hankave'a eri atrevaga resnigeno ru'enena otino mago zana osugahie.
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.
Hanki anante ama mopafi kini vahe'mo'za e'neriza hihamu hankavene, ra zamaginena Marerisa Anumzamo'a zamagripintira erimareno, Agrama huhampari zamante'nea vahe zamigahie. Agra kinia mani vava huno vugahianki'za, maka kva vahe'mo'za agri eri'zanke eneri'za agri kege antahigahaze.
28 “Lokhu yikho ukuphela kwendaba. Mina Danyeli ngakhathazeka kakhulu ngemicabango yami, ubuso bami bahloba, kodwa indaba le yaba yimfihlo yami.”
Hagi nagra Danieli'nama ke'noa ava'namofo nanekemo'a amare emente. Nagra ana ava'nama kete'na tusi koro nehu'na antahintahi hakare nehugeno, navugosamo'a rukrahe hu'ne. Hianagi ana zamofo nanekea vahera ozamasami atrogeno nagu'afi me'ne.
