UDanyeli 8
1 Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwenkosi uBhelishazari mina Danyeli ngaba lombono ohambelana lalowo owake wangifikela ngaphambili.
ʻI hono tolu taʻu ʻoe pule ʻae tuʻi ko Pelesasa, naʻe ai ʻae meʻa naʻe hā mai kiate au, ʻio, kiate au Taniela, ʻi he hili ange ia ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa hā mai.
2 Embonweni wami ngazibona ngisenqabeni yaseSusa esigabeni sase-Elamu; embonweni ngangisekhunjini lomgelomfula u-Ulayi.
Pea ne u mamata ki he meʻa hā mai; pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻeku mamata, ne u ʻi Susani ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vahe fonua ʻo ʻIlami; pea ne u mamata ʻi he meʻa hā mai, pea naʻaku ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko ʻUlai.
3 Ngakhangela, ngabona khonapho phambi kwami kwakulenqama elempondo ezimbili imi eceleni komgelo, impondo zazizinde. Olunye lwempondo lwalulude kulolunye kodwa muva lwakhula kakhulu.
Pea ne u hanga hake hoku mata ʻo mamata, pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻae sipitangata pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifo ʻe ua: pea naʻe māʻolunga ʻae ongo nifo; ka naʻe māʻolunga ʻae taha ʻi he taha, pea naʻe tupu fakamuimui ʻaia naʻe māʻolunga.
4 Ngayibukela inqama ihlasela isiya entshonalanga, lenyakatho leningizimu. Kwakungelanyamazana eyayingamelana layo, kungekho njalo ongalamulela emandleni ayo. Yazenzela ngokuthanda kwayo yaba yinto enkulu.
Ne u mamata ki he sipitangata naʻe ʻoho fano ki he potu hihifo, mo e tokelau mo e tonga; ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ha fanga manu kehe, pea naʻe ʻikai ai ha niʻihi ʻe lavaʻi ha fakahaofi mei hono nima; ka naʻa ne fai ki he anga ʻo hono loto, pea ne hoko ʻo lahi.
5 Ngilokhu ngicabanga ngalokhu, masinyane kwathutsha imbuzi entshonalanga ilophondo oluqaphileyo phakathi kwamehlo ayo, idabula phakathi komhlaba wonke ingathintanga umhlabathi.
Pea ʻi heʻeku kei fakakaukau, vakai naʻe haʻu ha kosi tangata mei he potu hihifo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuʻu ki he kelekele: pea naʻe ʻi he kosi ha nifo māsila ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono mata.
6 Yasondela enqameni yempondombili engayibona imi ekhunjini lomgelomfula yayihlasela ngolaka olukhulu.
Pea naʻa ne haʻu ki he sipitangata ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nifo ʻe ua, ʻaia ne u mamata ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, pea naʻa ne ʻoho mālohi kiate ia ʻi heʻene lili.
7 Yayidumela inqama ngodlakela, yayigqubula yavikiza impondo zombili. Inqama yayingelamandla okumelana layo; impongo le yayilahla phansi inqama yayigxobagxoba, kungekho ongayilamulela emandleni ayo.
Pea ne u mamata ki heʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ki he sipitangata, pea naʻa ne ʻoho mālohi kiate ia, pea ne taaʻi ʻae sipitangata, ʻo fesiʻi hono ongo nifo: pea naʻe ʻikai ha mālohi ʻi he sipitangata ke tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, ka naʻa ne lī hifo ia ki he kelekele pea ne malaki ia: pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke fakahaofi ʻae sipitangata mei hono nima.
8 Impongo (imbuzi) yaba lamandla amakhulu, kodwa kwathi amandla ayo esemakhulu kangako uphondo lwayo olukhulu lwephuka, endaweni yalo kwakhula impondo ezine eziqaphileyo ezakhula zakhangela kuwo wonke amagumbi amane omkhathi.
Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻae kosi tangata: pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻa ʻene mālohi naʻe fasi ʻae nifo māsila; pea ke fetongi ia, naʻe tupu hake ʻae nifo ʻe fā ki he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi.
9 Kolunye uphondo lwayo kwathutsha olunye uphondo olwaqalisa luluncinyane kodwa lwakhula ngamandla kusiya eningizimu, lasempumalanga laseLizweni Elihle.
Pea naʻe tupu mei ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ha kihiʻi nifo siʻi, ʻaia naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ki he potu tonga, pea mo e potu hahake, pea mo e fonua ʻoe monūʻia.
10 Lwakhula lwaze lwafinyelela izinkanyezi zezulu, lwaphosela phansi emhlabeni ezinye izinkanyezi lwazigxobagxoba.
Pea naʻe tupu ia ʻo lahi, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea naʻa ne lī hifo ʻae kau māʻolunga niʻihi, pea mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ki he kelekele, ʻo ne malaki ʻakinautolu.
11 Lwaziphakamisa ngokuzikhukhumeza njengengomlawuli webutho likaThixo, lwamisa umhlatshelo walo wansuku zonke kuThixo lendawo yakhe yokukhonzela yangcoliswa.
ʻIo, naʻa mo e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi naʻa ne fai fakafielahi ki ai, pea naʻe taʻofi meiate ia ʻae feilaulau ʻaho, pea naʻe fakalieliaʻi hono potu tapu.
12 Ngenxa yomvukela, ibutho likaThixo, kanye lomhlatshelo wansuku zonke kwanikelwa kulo. Lwaphumelela kukho konke olwalukwenza, iqiniso alabe lisatsho ulutho.
Pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae kautau ke taʻofi ʻaki ʻae feilaulau ʻaho koeʻuhi ko e angahala, pea naʻa ne fakahifo ki lalo ʻae moʻoni, pea naʻa ne faʻa fai mo tupu lelei.
13 Ngasengisizwa ongcwele ekhuluma, omunye ongcwele wathi kuye, “Kuzathatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuze umbono lo ugcwaliseke, umbono omayelana lomhlatshelo wansuku zonke, lomvukela oletha incithakalo, lokukhalala indawo yokukhonzela, lezinkanyezi ezizagxotshwagxotshwa zinyawo zabantu bakaThixo?”
Pea ne u fanongo ki he tokotaha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni naʻe lea, pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni ki he tokotaha ko ia naʻe lea, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe meʻa hā mai ki he feilaulau ʻaho, pea mo e angahala fakamalaʻia ʻaia ʻoku tukuange ai ʻae potu māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e kau tau ke moloki hifo ʻi he vaʻe?”
14 Wathi kimi, “Kuzathatha izikhathi zokuhlwa lezokusa ezizinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu amathathu; lapho-ke indawo yokukhonzela izangcweliswa kutsha.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate ia, “ʻO aʻu ki hono ua afe ma tolungeau ʻoe ʻaho; ʻaia ʻe toki fakamaʻa ai ʻae potu māʻoniʻoni.”
15 Kwathi mina Danyeli ngilokhu ngiwubukele umbono lo, ngizama ukuwuzwisisa, kwema khonapho phambi kwami othile owayefana lomuntu.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻeku mamata, ʻio, ko au Taniela, ki he meʻa hā mai, mo ʻeku kumi ki hono ʻuhinga, pea ʻiloange naʻe hangē ne tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao ha tangata.
16 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi lomuntu limemeza lisuka e-Ulayi lisithi, “Gabhriyeli, tshela umuntu lo ingcazelo yombono lo.”
Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe tangata mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo kauvai ʻo ʻUlai, ʻaia naʻe ui ʻo pehē, “ʻE Kepeleli ke ke fakapotoʻi ʻae tangata ni ke ne ʻilo ʻae meʻa hā mai.”
17 Wathi esondela engangimi khona, ngezwa ngisesaba, ngawa ngithe thwitshi. Wathi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, qedisisa ukuthi umbono umayelana lesikhathi sokucina.”
Ko ia naʻa ne haʻu ʻo ofi ki he potu ʻaia ne u tuʻu ai: pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ne u manavahē, pea ne u tō fakafoʻohifo ki hoku mata: pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ke ke ʻilo ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, he ka aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻoe kuonga ʻe hoko ai ʻae meʻa hā mai.”
18 Wathi esakhuluma lami, ngalala ubuthongo obunzima ngithe mbo phansi ngobuso. Wasengithinta, wangiphakamisa, wangimisa ngezinyawo zami.
Pea ʻi heʻene kei lea kiate au, naʻaku mohe maʻu mo hoku mata ki he kelekele: ka naʻa ne ala mai kiate au, pea fokotuʻu hake au.
19 Wathi, “Ngizakutshela okuzakwenzakala ngemuva, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo esokucina.
Pea ne pehē, “Vakai, te u fakapotoʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa e hoko ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe houhau: koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae ngataʻanga ʻi hono kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni.
20 Inqama empondombili owayibonayo imele amakhosi eMede lePhezhiya.
“Ko e sipitangata ʻaia naʻa ke mamata ai naʻe ua hono nifo, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Mitia mo Peasia ia.
21 Impongo eyisinephu yinkosi yeGrisi, lophondo olukhulu oluphakathi kwamehlo ayo yinkosi yakuqala.
Pea ko e kosi fulufulu ko e tuʻi Kalisi ia; pea ko e nifo māsila ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono ongo mata ko e ʻuluaki tuʻi ia.
22 Impondo ezine ezathatha indawo yalolo olwephukayo zimele imibuso emine ezaphuma esizweni sakhe kodwa kayiyikuba lamandla alingana lawaso.”
Pea koeʻuhi foki naʻe fasi ia, pea tuʻu hake ai ʻae toko fā, ʻe tuʻu hake mei he puleʻanga ʻae puleʻanga ʻe fā, ka e ʻikai tatau mo hono mālohi ʻoʻona.
23 Lapho umbuso wabo ususiya ekucineni, abahlamuki nxa sebexhwale beqisa, inkosi elolunya, eliqili kakhulu, izavela.
“Pea ʻi he kuonga fakamui ʻo honau puleʻanga, ʻoka hoko ʻo kakato ʻae ngaahi angahala, ʻe tuʻu hake ha tuʻi ʻoku fofonga houhau, pea faʻa ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻilongataʻa.
24 Izaqina kakhulu kodwa kungasikho ngenxa yamandla ayo. Izakwenza umonakalo wokubhidliza okukhulu, iphumelele kukho konke ekwenzayo. Izawabhubhisa amaqhawe kanye labantu abangcwele.
Pea ko hono mālohi ʻe lahi ʻaupito, ka e ʻikai ʻi heʻene mālohi ʻaʻana: pea te ne fai ʻae fakaʻauha fakamanavahē, pea ʻe tupu pe ia mo faʻa fai, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae kakai mālohi mo māʻoniʻoni.
25 Izakwandisa inkohlakalo, izibone yona isedlula bonke abanye. Bazakuthi besithi sebezinzile, izabhubhisa abanengi ibe isihlasela iNkosi yamakhosi. Ikanti yona izabhujiswa kodwa hatshi ngezandla zomuntu.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai fakapotopoto foki, te ne ʻai ke ʻaonga ʻae kākā ʻi hono nima; pea te ne fakafuofua lahi ia ʻi hono loto, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻae tokolahi ʻaki ʻae melino; pea te ne tuʻu hake foki ki he ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki; ka e fesiʻi ia taʻeala ki ai ha nima.
26 “Umbono owuphiweyo owezikhathi zokuhlwa lezokusa uliqiniso, kodwa ugcike umbono lo, ngoba uphathelane lesikhathi esizayo esikhatshana.”
Pea ko e meʻa hā mai ʻoe efiafi mo e pongipongi, ʻaia naʻe tala ʻoku moʻoni ia: ko ia ke ke tāpuni ke maʻu ʻae meʻa hā mai; he ko e meʻa ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.”
27 Mina Danyeli, ngadinwa kakhulu ngalala ngingogulayo okwensuku ezimbalwa. Ngasengivuka ngaqhubeka ngomsebenzi wami wenkosi. Ngadideka ngombono lowo; wawungaphezu kwengqondo.
Pea ko au Taniela ne u pongia, pea ne u mahaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi; pea hili ia ne u tuʻu hake ʻo fai ʻae ngāue ʻae tuʻi: pea ne u ofo ʻi he meʻa hā mai, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻe ha taha.
