< 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.
“Saa bere no, Mikael, ɔhene babarima titiriw a ɔbɔ wo nkurɔfo ho ban no bɛsɔre. Ahohia bere bi bɛba a, efi aman no mfiase besi saa da no, biribi a ɛte saa nsii da. Nanso saa bere no, wo nkurɔfo no mu biara a wobehu sɛ wɔakyerɛw ne din wɔ nhoma no mu no, wobegye no nkwa.
2 Labanengi babo abalele othulini lomhlaba bazavuka, abanye besiya empilweni elaphakade, labanye besiya kumahlazo ekunengweni okulaphakade.
Nnipadɔm a wɔadeda fam wɔ dɔte mu no benyan: ebinom bɛkɔ daa nkwa mu, na ebinom nso akɔ aniwu ne daa ahohora mu.
3 Njalo abahlakaniphileyo bazakhanya njengokukhazimula kwesibhakabhaka, lalabo abaphendulela abanengi ekulungeni, njengezinkanyezi kuze kube nini lanini.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ anyansafo no bɛhyerɛn te sɛnea ɔsoro hyerɛn, na wɔn a wɔdan afoforo kɔɔ trenee mu no bɛhyerɛn sɛ nsoromma, daapem.
4 Kodwa wena, Daniyeli, vala lamazwi, unameke ugwalo, kuze kube sesikhathini sokuphela. Abanengi bazagijima baye le lale, lolwazi luzakwandiswa.
Nanso wo Daniel, bobɔw na sɔw nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no ano kosi awiei bere no. Bebree bekyinkyin akɔpɛ nimdeɛ.”
5 Mina, Daniyeli, ngasengibona, khangela-ke, abanye ababili bemi, omunye enganeno kokhumbi lomfula lomunye engaphetsheya kokhumbi lomfula.
Afei, me Daniel, mehwɛ huu nnipa baanu bi wɔ mʼanim; ɔbaako gyina asubɔnten no konkɔn so, na ɔbaako nso gyina konkɔn a ɛhwɛ baako no anim no so.
6 Kwasekuthiwa kulowomuntu ogqoke ilembu elicolekileyo, owayengaphezu kwamanzi omfula: Koze kube nini ukuze kuphele lezizimangaliso?
Wɔn mu baako bisaa ɔbarima a ofura nwera a ogyina asu no so no se, “Ebedi nnaahe ansa na anwonwade yi aba mu?”
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.
Ɔbarima no a ofura nwera na ɔwɔ asu no so no maa ne nsa nifa ne benkum so kyerɛɛ ɔsoro, na metee sɛ ɔde nea ɔte hɔ daa no kaa ntam se, “Ɛbɛkɔ so saa ara akosi bere bi, mmere bi ne bere sin bi. Sɛ nnipa kronkron no tumisɛe no ba awiei koraa a, wobewie saa nneɛma yi nyinaa.”
8 Mina ngasengisizwa, kodwa kangiqedisisanga. Ngasengisithi: Nkosi yami, kuzakuba yini ukuphela kwalezizinto?
Metee, nanso mante ase. Enti mibisae se, “Me Wura dɛn na ebefi eyinom nyinaa mu aba?”
9 Wasesithi: Hamba, Daniyeli, ngoba amazwi avalelwe ananyekwa kuze kube yisikhathi sokuphela.
Na obuae se, “Daniel kɔ, efisɛ wɔabobɔ nsɛm no so, asɔw ano de akosi awiei mmere no.
10 Abanengi bazahlanjululwa, benziwe mhlophe, bahlolwe; kodwa ababi bazakwenza okubi; njalo kakho loyedwa wababi ozaqedisisa; kodwa abahlakaniphileyo bazaqedisisa.
Wɔbɛhohoro bebree ho a fi ne nkekae biara renka wɔn ho, nanso atirimɔdenfo bɛkɔ so ayɛ atirimɔden; wɔn mu biara rente ase, nanso anyansafo de wɔbɛte ase.
11 Njalo kusukela esikhathini sokususwa komnikelo oqhubekayo, lokumiswa kwesinengiso esichithayo, kuzakuba lezinsuku eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye.
“Efi da a wɔbɛbra daa afɔrebɔ na wɔde akyiwade a ɔsɛe nam ne so bɛba abesi hɔ no bɛyɛ nnafua apem ahannu aduɔkron.
12 Ubusisiwe olindayo aze afinyelele ezinsukwini eziyinkulungwane lamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu.
Nhyira ne nea ɔtwɛn kosi nnafua apem ahaasa aduasa anum awiei no.
13 Kodwa wena, hamba kuze kube sekupheleni; ngoba uzaphumula, ume esabelweni sakho ekupheleni kwezinsuku.
“Wo Daniel de, tintim kodu awiei. Wobɛhome, na nna no awiei no, wobɛsɔre na woakogye wo kyɛfa a ɛwɔ agyapade no mu.”
