UDanyeli 12
1 Langalesosikhathi uMikayeli uzasukuma, isiphathamandla esikhulu esimela abantwana babantu bakini. Njalo kuzakuba khona isikhathi sokuhlupheka, esingazanga sibe khona lokhe kwaba lesizwe kuze kube yilesosikhathi. Kodwa ngalesosikhathi abantu bakini bazakhululwa, wonke otholwa ebhaliwe ogwalweni.
“Mu biro ebyo Mikayiri omulangira omukulu akuuma abantu bo aligolokoka, ne yeeyimirira abantu bo. Waliba ekiseera eky’okubonaaboneramu ekitabangawo okuva ku kutondebwa kw’amawanga. Naye mu biro ebyo, omuntu aliba awandiikiddwa mu kitabo, alirokolebwa.
2 Labanengi babo abalele othulini lomhlaba bazavuka, abanye besiya empilweni elaphakade, labanye besiya kumahlazo ekunengweni okulaphakade.
Bangi ku beebase mu nfuufu ey’ensi baligolokoka, abamu eri obulamu obutaggwaawo, n’abalala eri ensonyi n’okuswazibwa okutaggwaawo.
3 Njalo abahlakaniphileyo bazakhanya njengokukhazimula kwesibhakabhaka, lalabo abaphendulela abanengi ekulungeni, njengezinkanyezi kuze kube nini lanini.
Abo abalina okutegeera balyakaayakana ng’okumasamasa kw’omu bbanga; n’abo abakyusa abangi okudda eri obutuukirivu, balyakaayakana ng’emmunyeenye emirembe n’emirembe.
4 Kodwa wena, Daniyeli, vala lamazwi, unameke ugwalo, kuze kube sesikhathini sokuphela. Abanengi bazagijima baye le lale, lolwazi luzakwandiswa.
Naye ggwe Danyeri, bikka era osse envumbo ku kitabo okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero lwe kirituuka. Bangi balitambula eno n’eri, era n’okumanya n’amagezi kulyeyongera.”
5 Mina, Daniyeli, ngasengibona, khangela-ke, abanye ababili bemi, omunye enganeno kokhumbi lomfula lomunye engaphetsheya kokhumbi lomfula.
Nze Danyeri ne ndyoka ndaba, laba babiri abalala nga bayimiridde mu maaso gange, omu ku lubalama lw’omugga olumu, n’omulala ku lubalama lw’omugga olulwolekedde.
6 Kwasekuthiwa kulowomuntu ogqoke ilembu elicolekileyo, owayengaphezu kwamanzi omfula: Koze kube nini ukuze kuphele lezizimangaliso?
Omu ku bo n’agamba omusajja, eyali waggulu w’amazzi g’omugga ng’ayambadde linena nti, “Kiritwala bbanga ki ebyewuunyisa ebyo byonna okutuukirira?”
7 Ngasengisizwa lowomuntu ogqoke ilembu elicolekileyo, owayengaphezu kwamanzi omfula, lapho ephakamisela isandla sakhe sokunene lesandla sakhe sokhohlo emazulwini, efunga ngalowo ophila phakade, ukuthi kuzakuba ngokwesikhathi esimisiweyo, izikhathi ezimisiweyo, lengxenye; lalapho esephelelise ukuhlakaza amandla abantu abangcwele, zonke lezizinto zizaphela.
Omusajja eyali waggulu w’amazzi g’omugga ng’ayambadde linena, n’ayimusa omukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’omukono gwe ogwa kkono eri eggulu, ne mmuwulira ng’alayira eri oyo abeera omulamu emirembe n’emirembe, ng’ayogera nti, “Waliyitawo ebbanga lya myaka esatu n’ekitundu. Era amaanyi g’abantu abatukuvu bwe galimalibwawo, ebintu ebyo byonna ne biryoka bituukirira.”
8 Mina ngasengisizwa, kodwa kangiqedisisanga. Ngasengisithi: Nkosi yami, kuzakuba yini ukuphela kwalezizinto?
Ne mpulira naye ne sitegeera. Kyennava mbuuza nti, “Mukama wange, biki ebiriva mu ebyo byonna?”
9 Wasesithi: Hamba, Daniyeli, ngoba amazwi avalelwe ananyekwa kuze kube yisikhathi sokuphela.
N’anziramu nti, “Weetambulire makubo go, Danyeri, kubanga ebigambo bibikiddwako era n’ekitabo kissibbwako envumbo okutuusa ekiseera eky’enkomerero.
10 Abanengi bazahlanjululwa, benziwe mhlophe, bahlolwe; kodwa ababi bazakwenza okubi; njalo kakho loyedwa wababi ozaqedisisa; kodwa abahlakaniphileyo bazaqedisisa.
Bangi balitukuzibwa ne balongoosebwa obutabaako na bbala, naye abatali batuukirivu balyeyongera okukola ebibi. Ku batali batuukirivu tekuliba ategeera, naye ab’amagezi baliba n’okutegeera.
11 Njalo kusukela esikhathini sokususwa komnikelo oqhubekayo, lokumiswa kwesinengiso esichithayo, kuzakuba lezinsuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye.
“N’okuva mu kiseera ekya ssaddaaka eya buli lunaku ng’eggyiddwawo n’eby’emizizo ebizikiriza nga biteekeddwawo, waliyitawo ennaku lukumi mu bibiri mu kyenda.
12 Ubusisiwe olindayo aze afinyelele ezinsukwini eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu.
Alina omukisa oyo alirindirira n’atuuka ku nkomerero ey’ennaku olukumi mu bisatu mu asatu mu ttaano.
13 Kodwa wena, hamba kuze kube sekupheleni; ngoba uzaphumula, ume esabelweni sakho ekupheleni kwezinsuku.
“Naye ggwe tambula makubo go okutuusa enkomerero lwe lituuka. Oliwummula, ne ku nkomerero oligolokoka n’oweebwa omugabo gwo gwe wategekerwa.”
