UDanyeli 5
1 UBelishazari inkosi wenzela iziphathamandla zakhe eziyinkulungwane idili elikhulu, wanatha iwayini phambi kwaleyonkulungwane.
Mfeɛ bebree akyi no, Ɔhene Belsasar too ɛpono kɛseɛ maa ne mpanimfoɔ apem, na ɔne wɔn nom nsã.
2 UBelishazari, esalinambitha iwayini, walaya ukuthi balethe izitsha zegolide lezesiliva uyise uNebhukadinezari ayezikhuphe ethempelini elaliseJerusalema; ukuze inkosi, leziphathamandla zayo, omkayo, labafazi bayo abancane, banathele kizo.
Ɛberɛ a nsã no ama Belsasar ani agye no, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nkuruwa a nʼagya Nebukadnessar tase firii Yerusalem asɔredan mu no mmra, sɛdeɛ ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ, ne yerenom ne ne mpenafoɔ bɛnom mu nsã.
3 Lapho baletha izitsha zegolide ezazikhutshwe ethempelini lendlu kaNkulunkulu eyayiseJerusalema; njalo inkosi, leziphathamandla zayo, omkayo, labafazi bayo abancane, banathela kizo.
Enti, wɔde saa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a wɔtase firii Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem mu no baeɛ, na ɔhene no ne ne mpanimfoɔ ne yerenom ne ne mpenafoɔ nom mu nsã.
4 Banatha iwayini, badumisa onkulunkulu begolide, labesiliva, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe.
Wɔrenom nsã no, wɔkamfoo wɔn ahoni a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere, dadeɛ, dua ne aboɔ ayɛ no.
5 Ngalesosikhathi kwaphuma iminwe yesandla somuntu, yabhala maqondana lesiqobane sesibane phezu kokubhadiweyo komduli wesigodlo senkosi; inkosi yasibona inhlanekela yesandla esasibhala.
Amonom hɔ no ara, wɔhunuu sɛ, onipa nsateaa retwerɛ ɔhene ahemfie ɔfasuo no a ɛbɛn kaneadua no ho. Ɔhene no hwɛɛ nsa a ɛretwerɛ no,
6 Khonokho ukucwebezela kobuso benkosi kwaphenduka, lemicabango yayo yayihlupha, kwaze kwaxega amalunga okhalo lwayo, lamadolo ayo atshayana.
na ehu maa nʼanim daneeɛ. Sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ hu no maa ne kotodwe keka boboom, na ne nan mu yɛɛ mmrɛ.
7 Inkosi yamemeza ngamandla ukuthi balethe izangoma, amaKhaladiya, labalumbi. Inkosi yaphendula, yathi kwabahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni: Wonke umuntu ongafunda lumbhalo, angitshengise ingcazelo yawo, uzagqokiswa okuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe, abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
Ɔhene no teaam frɛɛ sɛ, wɔmfa pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, Kaldeafoɔ ne ntafowayifoɔ mmra nʼanim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ saa Babilonia anyansafoɔ yi sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛtumi akenkan atwerɛ yi, akyerɛ me aseɛ no, wɔbɛfira no tam kɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehyeɛ abasobɔdeɛ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban agu ne kɔn mu. Ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ɔman sodifoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa wɔ ahemman yi mu.”
8 Lapho bangena bonke abahlakaniphileyo benkosi; kodwa babengelakho ukuwubala umbhalo, lokwazisa inkosi ingcazelo yawo.
Nanso, ɔhene no anyansafoɔ no baeɛ no, wɔn mu biara antumi ankenkan atwerɛ no, ankyerɛ aseɛ amma ɔhene no.
9 Lapho inkosi uBelishazari yethuka kakhulu, lokucwebezela kobuso bayo kwaphenduka kuyo, leziphathamandla zayo zadideka.
Enti, ɛmaa ɔhene no ho yeraa no yie, na nʼanim sesaeɛ. Nʼaberempɔn nso ho yeraa wɔn.
10 Indlovukazi, ngenxa yamazwi enkosi leziphathamandla zayo, yangena endlini yedili. Indlovukazi yaphendula yathi: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini! Imicabango yakho kayingakwethusi, lokucwebezela kobuso bakho kakungaphenduki.
Na ɛberɛ a Ɔhemmaa no tee ɔhene ne ne mpanimfoɔ nteateam no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ apontoɔ dan mu hɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Belsasar sɛ, “Nana nkwa so! Nana nsuro na mma wʼanim nsesa!
11 Kulomuntu embusweni wakho okulomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele kuye; ngoba ensukwini zikayihlo kwatholwa kuye ukukhanya lokuqedisisa lenhlakanipho, njengenhlakanipho yabonkulunkulu; ngakho inkosi uNebhukadinezari uyihlo wamenza waba yinduna yezanuse, yezangoma, yamaKhaladiya, yabalumbi, uyihlo, nkosi.
Ɔbarima bi wɔ wʼahemman mu ha a ɔwɔ anyame kronkron sunsum wɔ ne mu. Wʼagya Nebukadnessar adedie mu no, wɔhunuu sɛ, saa ɔbarima yi wɔ nteaseɛ nhunumu ne nyansa te sɛ anyame no. Wʼagya Nebukadnessar sii no panin wɔ nkonyaayifoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, Kaldeafoɔ ne ntafowayifoɔ so wɔ Babilonia.
12 Ngoba umoya owedlulisileyo, lolwazi, lokuqedisisa, ukuchasisa amaphupho, lokuchasisa imizekeliso, lokutshombulula amafindo, kwatholakala kuye, kuDaniyeli, inkosi eyamutha ibizo elithi uBeliteshazari. Khathesi kabizwe uDaniyeli, uzatshengisa ingcazelo.
Saa ɔbarima Daniel yi a ɔhene too no din Beltesasar yi adwene mu dɔ, na Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ ne nteaseɛ ahyɛ no ma. Ɔtumi kyerɛ daeɛ ne kasanyansa ase, na nsɛm a ɛkyere adwene no, ɔsane mu. Momfrɛ Daniel na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo atwerɛ no ase.”
13 Lapho uDaniyeli walethwa phambi kwenkosi; inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: UngulowoDaniyeli, ongowabathunjwa bakoJuda, inkosi ubaba eyabaletha bevela koJuda yini?
Enti, wɔkɔfaa Daniel baa ɔhene anim. Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Wone Daniel no a mʼagya Nebukadnessar faa wo nnommum de wo firii Yuda baeɛ no?
14 Sengizwile ngawe ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu ukuwe, lokuthi ukukhanya, lokuqedisisa, lenhlakanipho edlulisileyo kutholakala kuwe.
Mate wo nka sɛ, wowɔ anyame sunsum wɔ wo mu, na nteaseɛ nhunumu ne nyansa ahyɛ wo ma.
15 Khathesi sebengenisiwe phambi kwami abahlakaniphileyo, izangoma, ukuze bawufunde lumbhalo, bangazise ingcazelo yawo; kodwa bebengelakho ukutshengisa ingcazelo yalinto.
Wɔde anyansafoɔ ne pɛadeɛhunufoɔ baa mʼanim sɛ wɔbɛkenkan atwerɛ a ɛgu ɔfasuo yi ho yi na wɔnkyerɛ me aseɛ, nanso wɔntumi.
16 Kodwa mina ngizwile ngawe, ukuthi ulakho ukuchasisa izingcazelo, lokutshombulula amafindo. Khathesi uba ulakho ukufunda lumbhalo, ungazise ingcazelo yawo, uzagqokiswa okuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakho, ube ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
Na mate wo nka sɛ wotumi kyerɛ nsɛm ase; na wosane nsɛm a ɛkyere adwene mu. Na sɛ wotumi kenkan atwerɛ a ɛwɔ ɔfasuo yi ho na wo kyerɛ me aseɛ a, wɔbɛfira wo ɔtankɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehyeɛ abasobɔdeɛ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban bɛgu wo kɔn mu. Na wobɛyɛ ɔman sodifoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa wɔ ahemman yi mu.”
17 Lapho uDaniyeli waphendula wathi phambi kwenkosi: Izipho zakho kazibe ngezakho, lemivuzo yakho uyinike omunye. Loba kunjalo ngizayifundela inkosi umbhalo, ngiyazise ingcazelo.
Daniel buaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Nana, mesrɛ, ma wʼakyɛdeɛ no ntena hɔ na fa wʼabasobɔdeɛ no ma obi foforɔ. Nanso, Nana, mɛkenkan atwerɛ no, na makyerɛ wo aseɛ.
18 Wena nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uNebhukadinezari uyihlo umbuso, lobukhulu, lodumo, lenkazimulo.
“Nana, Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn maa wʼagya Nebukadnessar kɛseyɛ, animuonyam ne anidie.
19 Langenxa yobukhulu amnika bona, bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, bathuthumela besaba phambi kwakhe; lowo ayethanda wambulala, lalowo ayethanda wamgcina ephila, lalowo ayethanda wamphakamisa, lalowo ayethanda wamehlisela phansi.
Ɔyɛɛ no kɛse ara kɔsii sɛ, nnipa ahodoɔ nyinaa, aman nyinaa ne kasa biara duru nʼanim a, wɔn ho popo biribiribiri. Ɔkunkumm wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkunkum wɔn, ɛnna ɔgyaee wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔgyaa wɔn. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn animuonyam no animuonyam, ɛnna wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbrɛ wɔn ase no, ɔbrɛɛ wɔn ase.
20 Kodwa lapho inhliziyo yakhe yaziphakamisa, lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lukhuni ngokuzigqaja, wehliswa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi sombuso, bamthathela udumo lwakhe.
Nanso, ahomasoɔ maa nʼakoma ne nʼadwene yɛɛ den no no, wɔyii no firii nʼahennwa so, sii no fam, gyee nʼanimuonyam no.
21 Wasexotshwa ebantwaneni babantu, lenhliziyo yakhe yenziwa yafanana leyenyamazana, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala yaba labobabhemi beganga; bamdlisa utshani njengenkabi, lomzimba wakhe waba manzi ngamazolo amazulu, waze wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke uyabusa embusweni wabantu, lokuthi umisa phezu kwawo loba ngubani amthandayo.
Wɔpamoo no firi nnipa mu. Wɔmaa no aboa adwene, na ɔne wiram mmoa tenaeɛ. Ɔwee ɛserɛ te sɛ nantwie, na ɔsoro bosuo fɔɔ no kyaww kɔsii sɛ, afei ɔhunuu sɛ, sɛɛ Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn na ɔdi ewiase ahemman nyinaa so, na ɔno ara nso na ɔyi obi a ɔpɛ ma ɔdi so.
22 Wena-ke, ndodana yakhe, Belishazari, kawuyithobisanga inhliziyo yakho, lanxa ukwazile konke lokhu.
“Nanso wo, ne ba Belsasar, wonim yeinom nyinaa, nanso woammrɛ wo ho ase.
23 Kodwa uziphakamisile wamelana leNkosi yamazulu; njalo baletha izitsha zendlu yayo phambi kwakho; wena-ke, leziphathamandla zakho, omkakho, labafazi bakho abancane, lanathela kuzo iwayini; udumisile onkulunkulu besiliva, labegolide, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe, abangaboniyo labangezwayo, labangaziyo; kodwa uNkulunkulu omphefumulo wakho usesandleni sakhe, lozindlela zakho zonke zingezakhe, kawumdumisanga.
Wama wo ho so atia Ɔsoro Awurade mmom. Woafa saa nkuruwa yi a ɛsisi wʼanim a wɔfa firii nʼasɔredan mu no. Wo ne wʼatitire ne wo yerenom ne wo mpenafoɔ anom mu nsã, ɛberɛ a morekamfo dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere, dadeɛ, dua ne ɛboɔ anyame a wɔnhunu adeɛ, na wɔnnte asɛm, na wɔnnim hwee koraa no. Na moamfa anidie amma Onyankopɔn a ɔkura mo nkwa na ɔdi mo hyɛberɛ so no.
24 Khonokho le inhlanekela yesandla yathunywa ivela kuye; lumbhalo wasubhalwa.
Ne saa enti, Onyankopɔn asoma nsa yi sɛ, ɛmmɛtwerɛ nkra yi.
25 Njalo nanku umbhalo owabhalwayo: MENE, MENE, TEKELI, UFARISINI.
“Nkra a ɛtwerɛeɛ nie: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.
26 Nansi ingcazelo yalolulutho: MENE: UNkulunkulu ubalile umbuso wakho, wawuqeda.
“Saa nsɛm yi asekyerɛ nie: “Mene asekyerɛ ne wɔakan. Onyankopɔn akan wʼahennie nna a aka na watwa so de aba nʼawieeɛ.
27 TEKELI: Ulinganisiwe esilinganisweni, watholwa usilela.
“Tekel asekyerɛ ne wɔakari. Wɔakari wo wɔ nsania so, nanso woantumi sɔhwɛ no.
28 UPERESI: Umbuso wakho wehlukanisiwe, wanikwa amaMede lamaPerisiya.
“Parsin asekyerɛ ne wɔakyekyɛ mu. Wɔakyekyɛ wʼahemman mu ama Mediafoɔ ne Persiafoɔ.”
29 Lapho uBelishazari walaya, basebemgqokisa uDaniyeli ngokuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe, basebememezela ngaye ukuthi abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
Afei, Belsasar ma wɔfiraa Daniel ɔtankɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehyeɛ abasobɔdeɛ, de sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban guu ne kɔn mu. Wɔsoaa no sɛ, ɔman sodifoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa wɔ ahemman no mu.
30 Ngalobobusuku uBelishazari inkosi yamaKhaladiya wabulawa.
Saa anadwo no ara, wɔkumm Babiloniahene Belsasar.
31 UDariyusi umMede wasesemukela umbuso, eleminyaka phose engamatshumi ayisithupha lambili.
Na Dario a ɔfiri Mede faa ahennie no a na wadi mfirinhyia aduosia mmienu.
