UDanyeli 7
1 Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaBelishazari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, uDaniyeli wabona iphupho lemibono yekhanda lakhe embhedeni wakhe. Lapho walibhala iphupho, wakhuluma indikimba yezindaba.
Le Belsazar, Babilonia fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, Daniel ku drɔ̃e esime wòmlɔ eƒe aba dzi eye ŋutega geɖewo to eƒe susu me. Eŋlɔ drɔ̃e la me nyawo da ɖi.
2 UDaniyeli waphendula wathi: Ngabona embonweni wami ebusuku, khangela-ke, imimoya yomine yamazulu yavumbuluka phezu kolwandle olukhulu.
Daniel gblɔ be, “Le nye ŋutega me la, mekpɔ be dziƒo ƒe ya eneawo nɔ nye ŋkume eye wonɔ atsiaƒu gã la nyamam.
3 Izilo ezine ezinkulu zakhuphuka elwandle, zehlukile esinye kwesinye.
Lã gã ene siwo to vovo tso wo nɔewo gbɔ la do go tso atsiaƒu la me.
4 Esokuqala sasinjengesilwane, esilempiko zenkozi. Ngakhangela zaze zacuthwa impiko zaso, sasesiphakanyiswa sisuswa emhlabeni, samiswa ngenyawo njengomuntu, sanikwa inhliziyo yomuntu.
“Gbãtɔ le abe dzata ene eye wòto hɔ̃ ƒe aʋala. Melé ŋku ɖe eŋu va se ɖe esime wotu aʋala la ɖa le eŋu, wokɔe tso anyigba, ale be wòtsi tsitre ɖe afɔ eve dzi abe amegbetɔ ene eye wotsɔ amegbetɔ ƒe dzi nɛ.
5 Khangela-ke esinye isilo, esesibili, sasinjengebhere, sazimisa ehlangothini olulodwa, silembambo ezintathu emlonyeni waso phakathi kwamazinyo aso. Basebesithi njalo kuso: Sukuma, udle inyama enengi.
“Lã evelia si ɖi sisiblisi la nɔ tsitre ɖe nye ŋkume. Wofɔ eƒe akpa ɖeka ɖe dzi eye agbaƒuti etɔ̃ nɔ eƒe nu me le eƒe aɖuwo dome. Wogblɔ nɛ be, ‘Tso eye nàɖu lã wòasu wò!’
6 Emva kwalokhu ngabona, khangela-ke esinye, sasinjengengwe, silempiko ezine zenyoni emhlana waso, njalo isilo sasilamakhanda amane, lokubusa kwaphiwa kuso.
“Le esia megbe la, mekpɔ lã bubu wònɔ nye ŋkume. Lã sia ɖi lãkle. Aʋala ene nɔ dzime nɛ abe xevi ƒe aʋalawo ene. Lã la to ta ene eye wona ŋusẽe be wòaɖu fia.
7 Emva kwalokhu ngabona emibonweni yebusuku, khangela-ke isilo sesine, esesabekayo, esethusayo, silamandla kakhulukazi, silamazinyo amakhulu ensimbi, sadla safohloza, sanyathela okuseleyo ngenyawo zaso. Njalo sasehlukile kuzo zonke izilo ezazingaphambi kwaso; futhi sasilempondo ezilitshumi.
“Le esia hã megbe la, megakpɔ lã enelia le nye ŋutega la me le zã me wònɔ nye ŋkume; ŋɔdzi kple vɔvɔ̃ nɔ eŋu eye wòsẽ ŋu ŋutɔ. Gaɖu titriwo nɔ nu me nɛ. Evuvua lã, ɖunɛ eye wòtua afɔ esi susɔ la dzi. Eto vovo tso lã kemɛawo gbɔ eye wòto dzo ewo.
8 Ngakhangelisisa izimpondo, khangela-ke, kwenyuka phakathi kwazo olunye uphondo oluncinyane; lezintathu zezimpondo zokuqala zasitshunwa ngezimpande phambi kwalo; khangela-ke, amehlo anjengamehlo omuntu aba sephondweni lolu, lomlomo okhuluma izinto ezinkulu.
“Esi menɔ dzoawo ŋu bum la, dzo bubu aɖe do ɖe nye ŋkume; dzo sue aɖe koe wònye do ɖe wo dome eye wòho dzo etɔ̃ le dzo gbãtɔwo dome le eŋgɔ. Ŋkuwo nɔ dzo sia ŋu abe amegbetɔ ƒe ŋkuwo ene eye nu si ƒoa nu adegbeƒotɔe hã nɔ eŋu.
9 Ngakhangela, kwaze kwabekwa izihlalo zobukhosi, kwahlala oMdala wezinsuku, ozembatho zakhe zazimhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo, lenwele zekhanda lakhe njengoboya bemvu obuhlanzekileyo; isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sililangabi lomlilo, amavili aso angumlilo ovuthayo.
“Esi menɔ ŋku lém ɖe eŋu la, “woɖo fiazikpuiwo woƒe nɔƒewo. Tete Blema Mawu va nɔ eƒe nɔƒe. Eƒe awu fu tititi abe sno ene eye eƒe taɖa fu abe ɖetifu ene. Eƒe fiazikpui nɔ bibim kple dzo.
10 Isifudlana somlilo sageleza saphuma phambi kwakhe. Inkulungwane zezinkulungwane zamkhonza, lezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zema phambi kwakhe. Isahlulelo sazimisa, lezincwadi zavulwa.
Dzotɔsisi aɖe nɔ sisim le eŋgɔ. Ame akpe akpewo nɔ esubɔm, ame akpe ewo teƒe akpe ewo nɔ tsitre ɖe eŋgɔ. Ʋɔnu la ɖi anyi eye woke agbalẽawo.
11 Lapho ngakhangela ngenxa yomsindo wamazwi amakhulu uphondo olwawakhulumayo. Ngakhangela saze sabulawa isilo, lomzimba waso wachithwa, wanikelwa emlilweni obhebhayo.
“Meyi ŋkuléle ɖe nuwo ŋu dzi le adegbeƒonya siwo lãdzo la nɔ gbɔgblɔm la ta. Meyi nukpɔkpɔ dzi va se ɖe esime wowu lã la eye wotsɔ eƒe ŋutilã kukua ƒu gbe ɖe dzo bibi la me.
12 Mayelana lezinye izilo, umbuso wazo wasuswa, kanti ukwelulwa empilweni kwanikwa kuzo kwaze kwaba yisikhathi esimisiweyo lethuba.
Woxɔ ŋusẽ le lã bubuawo si gake wona be woanɔ agbe hena ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.
13 Ngabona emibonweni yebusuku, khangela-ke, onjengendodana yomuntu weza ngamayezi amazulu, wafika kuMdala wezinsuku, basebemsondeza phambi kwakhe.
“Le nye ŋutega me le zã me la, mekpɔ ame aɖe si le abe amegbetɔ vi ene wògbɔna kple dziƒo ƒe lilikpowo. Egogo Blema Mawu la eye wokplɔe yi eŋkumee.
14 Wasenikwa ukubusa, lodumo, lombuso, ukuze bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi kumkhonze. Ukubusa kwakhe kuyikubusa kwaphakade, okungayikudlula, lombuso wakhe ngongayikuchithwa.
Wotsɔ ŋusẽ, bubu kple gãnyenye ƒe ŋusẽ nɛ eye amewo katã kple dukɔwo katã kple ame siwo tso gbegbɔgblɔ ɖe sia ɖe me la subɔe. Eƒe dziɖuɖu nye dziɖuɖu si anɔ anyi tegbee, dziɖuɖu si nu matso o eye eƒe fiaɖuƒe nye esi womagbã gbeɖe o.
15 Mina Daniyeli, umoya wami wadabuka phakathi komzimba, lemibono yekhanda lami yangethusa.
“Nye, Daniel, nye gbɔgbɔ tsi dzi le menye eye ŋutega siwo mekpɔ la ɖe fu nam.
16 Ngasondela komunye wababemi khona, ngabuza kuye iqiniso lakho konke lokhu. Wasengitshela, wangazisa ingcazelo yezindaba.
Mete ɖe ame siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la dometɔ ɖeka ŋu eye mebia nu siawo katã ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe nyuitɔ tso egbɔ. “Ale wògblɔe nam eye wòna nu siawo katã ƒe gɔmeɖeɖem.
17 Lezizilo ezinkulu, zozine, zingamakhosi amane, azasukuma evela emhlabeni.
‘Lã gã eneawoe nye fiaɖuƒe ene siwo ava dzɔ tso anyigba dzi.
18 Kodwa abangcwele boPhezukonke bazakwemukela umbuso, babe lombuso kuze kube phakade, ngitsho kuze kube nini lanini.
Ke Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe ame kɔkɔewo axɔ fiaɖuƒe la eye wòanye wo tɔ tegbee, ɛ̃, tegbetegbe.’
19 Lapho ngathanda ukwazi iqiniso ngesilo sesine, esasehlukile kuzo zonke, sisesabeka kakhulukazi, omazinyo aso ayengawensimbi, lenzipho zaso zingezethusi; sadla, safohloza, sanyathela okuseleyo ngenyawo zaso;
“Tete medi be manya lã enelia ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe tututu. Lã sia to vovo sãa tso bubuawo gbɔ eye ŋɔdzi nɔ eŋu ŋutɔ kple eƒe gaɖuwo kple akɔblifewo. Enye lã si vuvua nu, ɖua eƒe nu lélewo eye wòtua afɔ nu sia nu si susɔ la dzi.
20 langezimpondo ezilitshumi ezazisekhanda laso, lolunye olwenyukayo, lezawa phambi kwalo ezintathu; ngitsho lolophondo olwalulamehlo, lomlomo owakhuluma izinto ezinkulu, lokubonakala kwalo kwakukukhulu kulezinye.
Medi hã be manya nu tso eƒe dzo ewo siwo nɔ eƒe ta kple dzo bubu si wòto, esi ŋgɔ dzo etɔ̃ ho le, dzo si ŋu dzedzeme nɔ wu bubuawo eye esi ŋu ŋkuwo kple nu si ƒoa nu adegbeƒotɔe nɔ la ŋu.
21 Ngabona, ukuthi loluphondo lusilwa labangcwele, lwabanqoba,
Esi melé ŋku ɖe eŋu la, dzo sia nɔ aʋa wɔm kple ame kɔkɔeawo eye wònɔ wo dzi ɖum.
22 kwaze kwafika oMdala wezinsuku, lesahlulelo saphiwa abangcwele boPhezukonke; kwasekufika isikhathi esimisiweyo sokuthi abangcwele babe lombuso.
Va se ɖe esime Blema Mawu la va eye wòtso afia na Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe ame kɔkɔeawo eye ɣeyiɣia de be fiaɖuƒe la nazu wo tɔ.
23 Watsho njalo: Isilo sesine sizakuba ngumbuso wesine emhlabeni, ozakwehluka kuyo yonke imibuso, sidle wonke umhlaba, siwunyathelele phansi, siwufohloze.
“Ena gɔmeɖeɖe siam. ‘Lã eneliae nye fiaɖuƒe enelia si ado ɖe anyigba dzi. Ato vovo tso fiaɖuƒe bubuawo katã gbɔ, aɖu anyigba blibo la dzi, atu afɔ edzi eye wòagbãe.
24 Mayelana lempondo ezilitshumi, amakhosi alitshumi azasukuma evela kulo umbuso, lenye izasukuma emva kwawo. Yona-ke izakwehluka kwawokuqala, iwehlisele phansi amakhosi amathathu.
Dzo ewoawo nye fia ewo siwo ado tso fiaɖuƒe sia me. Le woawo yome la, fia bubu aɖe ava, ato vovo tso esiwo do ŋgɔ nɛ la gbɔ eye wòaɖu fia etɔ̃ dzi.
25 Njalo izakhuluma amazwi imelene loPhezukonke, ihluphe njalonjalo abangcwele boPhezukonke, inakane ngokuguqula izikhathi lomlayo; njalo bazanikelwa esandleni sayo kuze kube yisikhathi lezikhathi lengxenye yesikhathi.
Aƒo nu atsi tsitre ɖe Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋu, ate eƒe ame kɔkɔeawo ɖe to eye wòate kpɔ be yeatrɔ ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖowo kple sewo. Woatsɔ ame kɔkɔeawo ade asi nɛ ƒe ɖeka, ƒe eve alo ƒe afã.
26 Kodwa isahlulelo sizahlala, basuse umbuso wayo, ukuthi bawuchithe bawuqede kuze kube sekupheleni.
“‘Ke ʋɔnu la aɖi anyi, woaxɔ eƒe ŋusẽ le esi eye woagbãe gudugudu tegbetegbe.
27 Njalo umbuso lokubusa lobukhulu bemibuso ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke kuzanikwa abantu babangcwele boPhezukonke, ombuso wabo ngumbuso ongulaphakade, lemibuso yonke izamkhonza ilalele.
Ekema woatsɔ dziɖuɖu, ŋusẽ kple fiaɖuƒewo ƒe gãnyenye le dziƒo blibo la ana ame kɔkɔeawo, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe amewo. Eƒe fiaɖuƒe la anye fiaɖuƒe mavɔ, dziɖulawo katã asubɔe eye woaɖo toe.’
28 Kuze kube lapha yisicino sendaba. Mina Daniyeli, imicabango yami yangethusa kakhulu, lokucwebezela kobuso bami kwaguquka kimi; kodwa ngalugcina udaba enhliziyweni yami.
“Esiae nye nya la ƒe nuwuwu. Nye, Daniel, nye susuwo ɖe fu nam ŋutɔŋutɔ, nye ŋkume fu kpĩi ke medzra nya la ɖo ɖe nye dzi me.”
