UDanyeli 6
1 Kwaba kuhle kuDariyusi ukubeka phezu kombuso iziphathamandla ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili, ukuthi zibe phezu kombuso wonke,
Daliyo yalonda abaamasaza kikumi mu abiri mu bwakabaka bwonna,
2 laphezu kwazo ababonisi abathathu, uDaniyeli aba ngowokuqala kubo; ukuthi leziziphathamandla zilandise kubo, njalo inkosi ingabi lomonakalo.
era mu abo n’alonda abaabakuliranga basatu, Danyeri nga y’omu ku bo. Abaamasaza baateekebwawo okutegeezanga ng’obwakabaka bwe, bwe bwaddukanyizibwanga, kabaka aleme kufiirizibwa. Era ekyo ne kisanyusa Daliyo.
3 Lapho uDaniyeli lo wenza ngcono kulababonisi leziphathamandla, ngoba umoya owedlulisileyo wawukuye. Njalo inkosi yacabanga ukumbeka phezu kombuso wonke.
Mu biro ebyo Danyeri n’ayatiikirira nnyo okusinga abakulu abalala bonna n’abaamasaza bonna kubanga yalimu omwoyo omulungi, era kabaka n’ateekateeka okumukuza okuvunaanyizibwanga ensonga zonna z’obwakabaka bwonna.
4 Lapho ababonisi leziphathamandla badinga ukuthola ithuba bemelene loDaniyeli mayelana lombuso; kodwa bengelakho ukuthola ithuba kumbe insolo; ngoba wayethembekile, futhi kungelampambaniso kumbe insolo okwatholakala kuye.
Olwawulira ebyo, abakungu abalala ababiri n’abaamasaza ne basala amagezi okunoonya ensonga ku Danyeri ku nzirukanya ye ey’ebyemirimu egy’obwakabaka, naye ne batayinza kulaba nsonga nkyamu newaakubadde akabi konna, kubanga yali musajja mwesigwa ataalina kwonoona okw’engeri yonna newaakubadde obulagajjavu.
5 Lapho lawomadoda athi: Kasiyikuthola thuba ngaye lo uDaniyeli ngaphandle kokuthi silithole limelene laye emlayweni kaNkulunkulu wakhe.
Awo abasajja abo ne bayiiya ensonga endala, ne boogera nti, “Tetugenda kulaba nsonga evunaanyisa Danyeri wabula ng’ekwata ku tteeka lya Katonda we.”
6 Lapho labobabonisi leziphathamandla babuthana ndawonye enkosini, batsho kanje kuyo: Dariyusi nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini!
Abakungu abo n’abaamasaza kyebaava bagenda bonna eri kabaka mu kibiina ne boogera nti, “Ayi kabaka Daliyo, owangaale!
7 Bonke ababonisi bombuso, izinduna, leziphathamandla, abeluleki, lababusi bacebisa ukumisa umthetho wesikhosini, lokwenza isimiso esiqinileyo, ukuthi loba ngubani ozacela isicelo lakuwuphi unkulunkulu loba umuntu phakathi kwezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu ngaphandle kuwe, nkosi, uzaphoselwa ebhalwini lwezilwane.
Abakungu bonna, n’abamyuka baabwe, n’abaamasaza, n’abawi b’amagezi ab’oku ntikko, n’abakungu, bateesezza ne bakkiriziganya okusaba kabaka okuteeka etteeka, n’okuwa ekiragiro ekinywevu, nga buli anaasabanga eri katonda omulala oba omuntu omulala yenna mu nnaku amakumi asatu ezinaddirira, okuggyako ng’asinza ggwe, ayi kabaka, asuulibwe mu mpuku y’empologoma.
8 Khathesi, nkosi, misa umlayo uphawule umbhalo, ukuthi ungaguqulwa, njengokomthetho wamaMede lamaPerisiya, ongadluliyo.
Kaakano ayi kabaka teeka etteeka era liwandiikibwe, ng’amateeka g’Abameedi n’Abaperusi agatajjulukuka bwe gali, kireme okukyusibwa.”
9 Ngakho inkosi uDariyusi yaphawula umbhalo lesimiso.
Awo kabaka Daliyo n’akola etteeka n’alissaako n’omukono gwe.
10 Kwathi lapho uDaniyeli asesazi ukuthi umbhalo uphawuliwe, wangena endlini yakhe; njalo amawindi ekamelo lakhe eliphezulu elikhangele eJerusalema evulekile; waguqa ngamadolo akhe izikhathi ezintathu ngosuku, wakhuleka, wapha izibongo phambi kukaNkulunkulu wakhe, njengokwenza kwakhe mandulo kwalokhu.
Awo Danyeri bwe yamanya ng’etteeka liwandiikiddwa, n’agenda ewuwe mu nnyumba ye, n’ayambuka mu kisenge kye ekya waggulu ekyalina amadirisa nga goolekedde Yerusaalemi, n’afukamiranga emirundi esatu olunaku, n’asabanga era ne yeebazanga Katonda we nga bwe yakolanga bulijjo.
11 Lapho la amadoda abuthana, athola uDaniyeli ekhuleka encenga phambi kukaNkulunkulu wakhe.
Awo abasajja bali ne bateekateeka okugenda ng’ekibiina ne basanga Danyeri ng’asaba era nga yeegayirira Katonda we.
12 Lapho asondela, akhuluma phambi kwenkosi mayelana lesimiso senkosi athi: Kawuphawulanga isimiso yini, sokuthi wonke umuntu ocela lakuwuphi unkulunkulu loba umuntu phakathi kwezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu ngaphandle kuwe, nkosi, uzaphoselwa ebhalwini lwezilwane? Inkosi yaphendula yathi: Linto iliqiniso, ngokomthetho wamaMede lamaPerisiya ongadluliyo.
Ne bagenda eri kabaka ne bamujjukiza ekiragiro ne boogera nti, “Ayi kabaka, tewateeka etteeka nga buli anaasabanga katonda omulala oba omuntu omulala yenna mu nnaku amakumi asatu eziddirira wabula ng’asinza ggwe, alisuulibwa mu mpuku y’empologoma?” Kabaka n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo, etteeka bwe liri, ng’amateeka g’Abameedi n’Abaperusi bwe gali agatajjulukuka.”
13 Lapho aphendula athi phambi kwenkosi: UDaniyeli ongowabantwana bokuthunjwa bakoJuda kakunanzi, nkosi, lesimiso osiphawulileyo, kodwa uyakhuleka isicelo sakhe izikhathi ezintathu ngosuku.
Awo ne bagamba nti, “Danyeri omu ku baawaŋŋangusibwa okuva mu Yuda, takussaako mwoyo, ayi kabaka, newaakubadde etteeka ly’owandiise. Asaba eri Katonda we emirundi esatu buli lunaku.”
14 Kwathi lapho inkosi isizwile lelilizwi, yazizondela kakhulu, yabeka ingqondo kuDaniyeli ukumkhulula; yebo, yalwisa laze latshona ilanga ukumophula.
Kabaka bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’anakuwala nnyo, n’agezaako okuwonya Danyeri, era n’amala olunaku lwonna ng’afuba nnyo okumuwonya.
15 Lapho abuthana enkosini lawomadoda, athi enkosini: Yazi, nkosi, ukuthi umthetho wamaMede lamaPerisiya uthi: Kakulasimiso kumbe umthetho inkosi eyawumisayo ongaguqulwa.
Naye abasajja ne bagenda bonna ng’ekibiina eri kabaka ne bamugamba nti, “Jjukira, ayi kabaka, ng’etteeka ery’Abameedi n’Abaperusi kabaka ly’ataddeko omukono, terikyusibwa.”
16 Lapho inkosi yalaya, bamletha uDaniyeli, bamphosela ebhalwini lwezilwane. Inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: UNkulunkulu wakho, omkhonzayo njalonjalo, kungathi angakukhulula!
Awo kabaka n’alagira, Danyeri n’aleetebwa, n’asuulibwa mu mpuku y’empologoma. Kabaka n’agamba Danyeri nti, “Nkusabira eri Katonda wo, gw’oweereza bulijjo akulokole!”
17 Kwasekulethwa ilitshe, labekwa phezu komlomo wobhalu; inkosi yasilinameka ngendandatho elophawu lwayo, langendandatho elophawu lwamakhosi ayo, ukuze kungaguqulwa ulutho mayelana loDaniyeli.
Ne baleeta ejjinja ne baliteeka ku mulyango gw’empuku, kabaka n’alissaako akabonero ke ye, n’abakungu be ne balissaako obubonero bwabwe, ekigambo kyonna kireme okukyusibwa ku nsonga ya Danyeri.
18 Lapho inkosi yaya esigodlweni sayo, yachitha ubusuku izila ukudla; lamachacho kawalethwanga phambi kwayo; lobuthongo bayibalekela.
Awo kabaka n’addayo mu lubiri lwe, naye n’atalya kintu na kimu ekiro ekyo, era n’atakkiriza kusanyusibwa, n’otulo ne tumubula.
19 Lapho inkosi yavuka emadabukakusa, yaya ngokuphangisa ebhalwini lwezilwane.
Ku makya ennyo emambya ng’esaze, kabaka n’agolokoka n’ayanguwa okugenda ku mpuku ey’empologoma.
20 Yathi isisondele ebhalwini, yamemeza ngelizwi lokulila kuDaniyeli; inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: Daniyeli, nceku kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uNkulunkulu wakho omkhonzayo njalonjalo, ulakho ukukukhulula yini ezilwaneni?
Bwe yasembera okumpi ne Danyeri we yali, n’amukoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’ennaku ng’agamba nti, “Danyeri omuddu wa Katonda omulamu, Katonda wo, gw’oweereza bulijjo akuwonyezza empologoma?”
21 Lapho uDaniyeli wathi enkosini: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini!
Danyeri n’addamu nti, “Wangaala, ayi kabaka.
22 UNkulunkulu wami uthumile ingilosi yakhe, yavala imilomo yezilwane, okokuthi kazingilimazanga, ngoba phambi kwakhe ukungabi lecala kutholakale kimi; njalo phambi kwakho, nkosi, kangenzanga bubi.
Katonda wange yatumye malayika we, n’aziba emimwa gy’empologoma zireme okunkolako akabi kubanga nasangiddwa nga sirina musango mu maaso ge. Ate ne mu maaso go sirina musango, ayi kabaka.”
23 Lapho inkosi yamthokozela kakhulu, yalaya ukukhuphula uDaniyeli ebhalwini. UDaniyeli wasekhutshulwa ebhalwini, kakwatholwa kulimala kuye, ngoba ekholwe kuNkulunkulu wakhe.
Kabaka n’asanyuka nnyo n’alagira Danyeri aggyibwe mu mpuku. Awo Danyeri n’aggyibwa mu mpuku, n’atasangibwako kiwundu na kimu, kubanga yeesiga Katonda we.
24 Inkosi yasilaya, kwasekulethwa lawomadoda ayehlebe uDaniyeli, bawaphosela ebhalwini lwezilwane, wona, abantwana bawo, labomkawo; kwathi bengakafiki phansi ebhalwini, izilwane zazibusa phezu kwabo, zachoboza wonke amathambo abo.
Awo amangwago kabaka n’alagira, abasajja abaalumiriza Danyeri baleetebwe, era basuulibwe mu mpuku y’empologoma, wamu ne bakyala baabwe n’abaana baabwe. Baali tebanatuuka na ku ntobo y’empuku, empologoma ne zibasinza amaanyi ne zimenyaamenya amagumba gaabwe gonna.
25 Lapho inkosi uDariyusi yabalela bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, ezihlezi emhlabeni wonke, yathi: Kakwandiswe ukuthula kwenu.
Awo kabaka Daliyo n’awandiikira abantu bonna, n’amawanga gonna n’abantu ab’ennimi zonna mu nsi yonna nti, “Emirembe gibeere gye muli!
26 Umlayo wenziwa yimi, ukuthi kukho konke ukubuswa kombuso wami bathuthumele besabe phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaDaniyeli; ngoba enguNkulunkulu ophilayo, lomi kuze kube nininini, lombuso wakhe ngongayikuchithwa, lokubusa kwakhe kuzakuba khona kuze kube sekupheleni.
“Nteeka etteeka mu buli kitundu ky’obwakabaka bwange bwonna nga ndagira nti abantu bateekwa okutya n’okussaamu Katonda wa Danyeri ekitiibwa.
27 Uyakhulula, ophule, enze izibonakaliso lezimangaliso emazulwini lemhlabeni, osekhulule uDaniyeli emandleni ezilwane.
Alokola era awonya:
28 Ngakho uDaniyeli lo waphumelela embusweni kaDariyusi, lembusweni kaKoresi umPerisiya.
Awo Danyeri n’aba n’omukisa mu mirembe gya Daliyo era n’awangaala okutuusa ne mu mirembe gya Kuulo Omuperuzi.
