Taniela 10
1 ʻI hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, naʻe ai ha meʻa naʻe fakahā kia Taniela, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Pelitisasa; pea naʻe moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ka naʻe fuoloa ʻae kuonga naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, pea naʻa ne poto ʻi he meʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe meʻa hā mai.
Ngomnyaka wesithathu kaKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya, kwafika kuDanyeli (owayebizwa ngokuthi nguBhelitheshazari) isambulelo. Umbiko waso wawuqinisile umayelana lempi enkulu. Ukuzwisiseka kombiko lowo kwamehlela ngombono.
2 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ko au Taniela ne u mamahi ʻi he uike kātoa ʻe tolu.
Kulesosikhathi mina Danyeli ngalila okwamaviki amathathu.
3 Naʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻae mā melie, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi hoku ngutu ʻae kanomate pe ha uaine, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u takai au, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae uike ʻe tolu.
Angizange ngikudle ukudla okuconsayo; inyama loba iwayini kakuzange kuzithinte izindebe zami; njalo kangizange ngisebenzise amagcobo lakanye kwaze kwaphela amaviki amathathu.
4 Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Hitikeli;
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lane lwenyanga yokuqala, ngathi ngimi ekhunjini lomfula omkhulu, iThigrisi,
5 Ne u hanga hake ai hoku mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻe noʻo hono noʻotanga vala ʻaki ʻae koula lelei ʻo ʻUfasi:
ngakhangela ngabona khonapho phambi kwami kumi indoda igqoke ilineni, ilebhanti legolide elihle okhalweni lwayo.
6 Ko hono sino foki naʻe hangē ko e pelili, pea ko hono mata naʻe hangē ko e ʻuhila, pea mo hono ongo mata naʻe hangē ko e ongo maama afi, pea ko hono nima mo hono vaʻe, naʻe ulo ʻo tatau mo e palasa kuo fakangingila, pea ko hono leʻo ʻi heʻene lea, naʻe hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe tokolahi.
Umzimba wayo wawufana lekhrisolathi, ubuso bayo bunjengombane, amehlo ayo enjengezibane ezivuthayo, izingalo zayo lemilenze yayo kufanana lokukhazimula kwethusi elilolongiweyo, lelizwi layo linjengomsindo wexuku labantu.
7 Pea ko au Taniela ne u mamata tokotaha pe ki he meʻa hā mai: he ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻi ai mo au naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki he meʻa hā mai; ka naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu, ko ia naʻa nau hola ke fakafufū ʻakinautolu.
Mina Danyeli, yimi ngedwa engawubonayo umbono; amadoda ayelami kawubonanga, kodwa afikelwa yikwesaba okukhulu aze abaleka ayacatsha.
8 Ko ia naʻe tuku tokotaha pe au, pea ne u mamata ki he meʻa lahi ni naʻe hā mai, pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha mālohi siʻi ʻiate au: he naʻe liliu ʻiate au ʻa ʻeku matamatalelei ʻo fakalielia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
Ngakho ngasala ngedwa, ngiqhuzule amehlo ami kulo umbono omkhulu; ngaphela amandla, ubuso bami bahloba okokufa njalo sengiphelelwe.
9 Ka naʻaku fanongo pe ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea: pea ʻi heʻeku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea, naʻe lolotonga ia ʻae mohe maʻu ʻa hoku mata, ʻo fakafoʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele.
Ngasengimuzwa ekhuluma, kwathi ngilokhu ngimlalele, ngehlelwa likhoza lobuthongo ngithe mbo phansi ngobuso.
10 Pea vakai, naʻe ala mai ha nima kiate au, mo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ongo tui mo hoku ʻaofi nima.
Isandla sangithinta ngezwa sengiqhaqhazela ezandleni lemadolweni.
11 Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tangata ʻofeina lahi, ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe, pea ke tuʻu tonu: he kuo toki fekau au kiate koe.” Pea hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni kiate au, ne u tuʻu tetetete pe.
Wathi, “Danyeli, uyaqakathekiswa kakhulu, nanzelela amazwi esengizawakhuluma kuwe, usukume, ngoba manje ngithunywe kuwe.” Wathi esitsho lokhu kimi ngasukuma ngiqhaqhazela.
12 Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, Taniela: he kuo talu ʻae ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻaia naʻa ke tukupau ai ho loto ke ʻilo, pea naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe ongoʻi hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi lea kuo u haʻu au.
Waseqhubeka wathi, “Ungesabi, Danyeli. Kulokhu kwasukela mhla ubeka ingqondo yakho ukuzuza ukuzwisisa lokuzithoba phambi kukaNkulunkulu wakho, amazwi akho ezwakala, yikho ngilapha ngenxa yalokho.
13 Ka naʻe taʻofi au ʻe he ʻEiki ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Peasia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma taha: kae vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Maikeli, ko e tokotaha ia ʻoku tuʻu ki muʻa, ke tokoni au; pea ne u nofo ai mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
Kodwa inkosi yombuso wasePhezhiya yangivimbela okwensuku ezingamatshumi amabili lanye. Kwasekusithi uMikhayeli, omunye wamakhosana amakhulu, weza ezongisiza, ngoba ngangivalelwe khonale yinkosi yasePhezhiya.
14 Pea ko eni, kuo u haʻu ke fakahā kiate koe, ʻae meʻa e hoko ki hoʻo kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui: he ʻoku kau ʻae meʻa hā mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.”
Manje ngilande ukuzakuchasisela lokho okuzakwenzakala ebantwini bakini esikhathini esizayo, ngoba umbono umayelana lesikhathi esizafika.”
15 Pea ʻi heʻene lea pehē kiate au, ne u foʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele, pea ne u longo pe.
Uthe esitsho lokhu kimi ngakhothamisela ubuso bami phansi ngehluleka ukukhuluma.
16 Pea vakai, ko e tokotaha naʻe hangē ko ha taha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ala mai ki hoku loungutu: pea ne u toki mafaʻa hoku ngutu, ʻo lea, pea ne u pehē kiate ia naʻe tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he meʻa hā mai, kuo toe foki mai ʻeku mamahi kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
Kwasekusithi othile owayefana lomuntu wathinta izindebe zami, ngasengivula umlomo wami ngakhuluma. Ngathi kulowo owayemi phambi kwami, “Sengigajelwa yikudabuka kwenhliziyo ngenxa yombono, nkosi yami, njalo sengiphelelwe yikho konke.
17 He koeʻuhi ʻe faʻa alea fēfē ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻo hoku ʻEiki ni, mo hoku ʻEiki ni? He ko au eni, naʻe fakafokifā ʻoku ʻikai toe ha mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ʻosi foki mo ʻeku mānava.”
Mina inceku yakho, ngingakhuluma kanjani lawe na, nkosi yami? Amandla ami kawasekho njalo sekusala ukuthi ngiphefumule.”
18 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ha taha ʻo hangē ko ha tangata, ʻo ala mai kiate au, ʻo ne fakamālohi au,
Waphinda njalo othile owayefana lomuntu wangithinta wangipha amandla.
19 Pea ne pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻE tangata ʻofeina lahi, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: fiemālie pe koe, pea ke mālohi, ʻio, ke ke mālohi.” Pea ʻi heʻene lea kiate au ne u mālohi, pea ne u pehē, “Ke lea pe ʻa hoku ʻEiki, he kuo ke fakamālohi au.”
Wathi, “Ungesabi, Oh muntu oqakathekiswayo kakhulu. Ukuthula! Qina manje; qina.” Wathi ekhuluma lami ngaqina ngathi, “Khuluma, nkosi yami, njengoba usungiphile amandla.”
20 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻeku haʻu kiate koe; pea ko eni, te u foki atu ke tau mo e tuʻi ʻo Peasia: pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu, vakai ʻe haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻo Kalisi.
Ngakho wasesithi, “Uyakwazi nje ukuthi kungani ngize kuwe na? Masinyane ngizabuya ukuzakulwa lenkosi yasePhezhiya, kuthi ngingahamba, kuzakuza inkosi yaseGrisi;
21 Ka te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi tapu moʻoni: pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha niʻihi ʻoku kau mo au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ko Maikeli ko hoʻomou ʻeiki.”
kodwa ngizaqala ngikutshele okulotshiweyo eNcwadini yeQiniso. (Kakho ongelekelelayo ukumelana labo ngaphandle kukaMikhayeli inkosana yakho.
