Taniela 7
1 ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Pelesasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe mamata ʻa Taniela ki he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki hono ʻulu ʻi hono mohenga; pea naʻa ne tohi ʻae misi, pea ne fakahā ʻa hono fakamatala.
Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaBelishazari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, uDaniyeli wabona iphupho lemibono yekhanda lakhe embhedeni wakhe. Lapho walibhala iphupho, wakhuluma indikimba yezindaba.
2 Naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻo ne pehē, “Ne u mamata ʻi he meʻa hā mai kiate au ʻi he pō, pea vakai, naʻe fetakai mālohi ʻae feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi ʻi he Tahi Lahi.
UDaniyeli waphendula wathi: Ngabona embonweni wami ebusuku, khangela-ke, imimoya yomine yamazulu yavumbuluka phezu kolwandle olukhulu.
3 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake mei loto tahi ʻae fanga manu ʻe fā, naʻe taki taha hono anga pe ʻoʻona.
Izilo ezine ezinkulu zakhuphuka elwandle, zehlukile esinye kwesinye.
4 Ko e ʻuluaki, naʻe hangē ha laione, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kapakau ʻoe ʻikale: pea ne u vakai, mo ʻene fusi ʻa hono ongo kapakau, pea naʻe hiki hake ia mei he kelekele, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo hangē ha tangata, pea naʻe tuku ki ai ʻae loto ʻoe tangata.
Esokuqala sasinjengesilwane, esilempiko zenkozi. Ngakhangela zaze zacuthwa impiko zaso, sasesiphakanyiswa sisuswa emhlabeni, samiswa ngenyawo njengomuntu, sanikwa inhliziyo yomuntu.
5 Pea vakai, ko e manu kehe ko hono ua, naʻe hangē ha pea, pea ne hiki hake ʻe ia ia ʻo fakapalataha pe, pea naʻe ʻi hono ngutu ʻae nifo lōloa ʻe tolu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono ngaahi nifo: pea naʻa nau lea ki ai ʻo pehē, ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo kai ʻae kakano lahi.’
Khangela-ke esinye isilo, esesibili, sasinjengebhere, sazimisa ehlangothini olulodwa, silembambo ezintathu emlonyeni waso phakathi kwamazinyo aso. Basebesithi njalo kuso: Sukuma, udle inyama enengi.
6 Pea hili ia ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e taha kehe, naʻe hangē ha lēpati, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa ʻae kapakau ʻe fā ʻoe manupuna; pea naʻe ʻi he manu foki ʻae ʻulu ʻe fā; pea naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae pule.
Emva kwalokhu ngabona, khangela-ke esinye, sasinjengengwe, silempiko ezine zenyoni emhlana waso, njalo isilo sasilamakhanda amane, lokubusa kwaphiwa kuso.
7 Hili ia ne u mamata ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō, pea vakai ko hono fā ʻoe manu, naʻe fakamanavahē ia mo fakaʻulia, mo mālohi ʻaupito; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea lahi: naʻe fakaʻauha mo maumauʻi ʻe ia, pea ne malaki ʻae toenga ʻaki hono vaʻe, pea naʻe kehe ia mei he fanga manu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu.
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.
8 Pea ʻi heʻeku sio fakamamaʻu ki he ngaahi nifo, pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻi ai ha kihi nifo siʻi ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake mei hono ʻao ʻae nifo ʻe tolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki nifo; pea vakai, naʻe ʻi he nifo ni ʻae mata ʻo hangē ko e mata ʻoe tangata, mo e ngutu naʻe lea fielahi.
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.
9 Pea naʻaku mamata ai pe mo ʻene lī hifo ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe hinehina hono kofu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina, pea ko hono louʻulu naʻe hangē ko e fulufuluʻi sipi lelei: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe hangē ko e afi ulo, pea ko hono ngaahi teka naʻe hangē ko e afi vela.
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.
10 Naʻe tupu mai mo tafe mei hono ʻao ʻae afi: naʻe tauhi kiate ia ʻae toko afe lauʻi ʻe he ngaahi toko afe, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae toko mano lauʻi toko mano: naʻe fokotuʻu ʻae fakamaau, pea naʻe folahi ʻae ngaahi tohi.
Isifudlana somlilo sageleza saphuma phambi kwakhe. Inkulungwane zezinkulungwane zamkhonza, lezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zema phambi kwakhe. Isahlulelo sazimisa, lezincwadi zavulwa.
11 Pea naʻaku tokanga lahi koeʻuhi ko e leʻo mo e lea fielahi ʻae nifo. Pea naʻaku tokanga ʻo aʻu ki hono tāmateʻi ʻoe manu, mo e fakaʻauha ʻo hono sino, mo e tuku ia ki he afi vela.
Lapho ngakhangela ngenxa yomsindo wamazwi amakhulu uphondo olwawakhulumayo. Ngakhangela saze sabulawa isilo, lomzimba waso wachithwa, wanikelwa emlilweni obhebhayo.
12 Pea koeʻuhi ko hono toe ʻoe fanga manu, naʻe toʻo ʻenau pule meiate kinautolu: ka naʻe fakatolonga ʻenau moʻui ke fuoloa ange, pea ki ha kuonga.
Mayelana lezinye izilo, umbuso wazo wasuswa, kanti ukwelulwa empilweni kwanikwa kuzo kwaze kwaba yisikhathi esimisiweyo lethuba.
13 Ne u mamata ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi ʻo hangē ko e foha ʻoe tangata, pea ne haʻu kiate ia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, pea naʻa nau ʻomi
Ngabona emibonweni yebusuku, khangela-ke, onjengendodana yomuntu weza ngamayezi amazulu, wafika kuMdala wezinsuku, basebemsondeza phambi kwakhe.
14 Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae pule, mo e nāunau, mo ha puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ke tauhi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea: ko e pule taʻengata ʻa ʻene pule, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai mole, pea ko hono puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha.
Wasenikwa ukubusa, lodumo, lombuso, ukuze bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi kumkhonze. Ukubusa kwakhe kuyikubusa kwaphakade, okungayikudlula, lombuso wakhe ngongayikuchithwa.
15 “Ko au Taniela, ne u mamahi ʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto, pea naʻe fakamamahiʻi au ʻe he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki hoku ʻulu.
Mina Daniyeli, umoya wami wadabuka phakathi komzimba, lemibono yekhanda lami yangethusa.
16 Pea naʻaku ʻunuʻunu atu ki he tokotaha ʻokinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ai, pea ne u fehuʻi kiate ia ki hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni. Ko ia naʻa ne talamai, pea ne fakahā mai kiate au hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
Ngasondela komunye wababemi khona, ngabuza kuye iqiniso lakho konke lokhu. Wasengitshela, wangazisa ingcazelo yezindaba.
17 Ko e fanga manu lalahi ni, ʻaia ʻoku toko fā, ko e tuʻi ia ʻe toko fā ʻaia ʻe tupu hake ʻi māmani.
Lezizilo ezinkulu, zozine, zingamakhosi amane, azasukuma evela emhlabeni.
18 Ka ʻe lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga, pea te nau maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo lauikuonga, ʻio, ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.
Kodwa abangcwele boPhezukonke bazakwemukela umbuso, babe lombuso kuze kube phakade, ngitsho kuze kube nini lanini.
19 Pea ne u fieʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo hono fā ʻoe manu, ʻaia naʻe taha kehe mo e fanga manu kotoa pē, ʻo fakamanavahēʻia, ʻaia naʻe ukamea hono kau nifo, pea ko e palasa hono pesipesi; ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha, mo maumauʻi, pea naʻe malaki ʻae toenga ʻaki hono vaʻe;
Lapho ngathanda ukwazi iqiniso ngesilo sesine, esasehlukile kuzo zonke, sisesabeka kakhulukazi, omazinyo aso ayengawensimbi, lenzipho zaso zingezethusi; sadla, safohloza, sanyathela okuseleyo ngenyawo zaso;
20 Pea mo e ngaahi nifo ʻe hongofulu ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu, pea ʻoe taha kehe ʻaia naʻe tupu hake, pea naʻe tō ʻi hono ʻao ʻae toko tolu; ʻio, ʻae nifo ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mata, pea mo e ngutu naʻe lea fielahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe matamata mālohi ʻi heʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa.
langezimpondo ezilitshumi ezazisekhanda laso, lolunye olwenyukayo, lezawa phambi kwalo ezintathu; ngitsho lolophondo olwalulamehlo, lomlomo owakhuluma izinto ezinkulu, lokubonakala kwalo kwakukukhulu kulezinye.
21 Ne u vakai, pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he nifo ko ia ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ne lavaʻi ʻakinautolu.
Ngabona, ukuthi loluphondo lusilwa labangcwele, lwabanqoba,
22 Kaeʻoua ke hoko mai ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, pea naʻe tuku ʻae fakamaau totonu ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; pea naʻe hokosia ʻae kuonga naʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae puleʻanga.
kwaze kwafika oMdala wezinsuku, lesahlulelo saphiwa abangcwele boPhezukonke; kwasekufika isikhathi esimisiweyo sokuthi abangcwele babe lombuso.
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene lea, Ko hono fā ʻoe manu ʻe hoko ia ko hono fā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻe kehe mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻa māmani kotoa pē, pea malaki hifo ia, pea maumauʻi.
Watsho njalo: Isilo sesine sizakuba ngumbuso wesine emhlabeni, ozakwehluka kuyo yonke imibuso, sidle wonke umhlaba, siwunyathelele phansi, siwufohloze.
24 Pea ko e ngaahi nifo ʻe hongofulu mei he puleʻanga ni, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko hongofulu ia ʻaia ʻe tupu: pea ʻe tupu mo ha taha kimui ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻe kehe ia mo e ʻuluaki, pea te ne lavaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu.
Mayelana lempondo ezilitshumi, amakhosi alitshumi azasukuma evela kulo umbuso, lenye izasukuma emva kwawo. Yona-ke izakwehluka kwawokuqala, iwehlisele phansi amakhosi amathathu.
25 Pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi lea fielahi ki he Fungani Māʻolunga, pea te ne fakaongosia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga, pea ʻe mahalo ʻe ia ke ne fakakehe ʻae ngaahi kuonga mo e ngaahi fono: pea ʻe tuku ia ki hono nima ʻi ha kuonga mo e kuonga ʻe ua, mo e vaeua mālie ʻoe kuonga.
Njalo izakhuluma amazwi imelene loPhezukonke, ihluphe njalonjalo abangcwele boPhezukonke, inakane ngokuguqula izikhathi lomlayo; njalo bazanikelwa esandleni sayo kuze kube yisikhathi lezikhathi lengxenye yesikhathi.
26 Ka ʻe fakanofo ʻae fakamaau, pea te nau toʻo ʻa ʻene pule, ke fakaʻauha mo maumauʻi ia, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
Kodwa isahlulelo sizahlala, basuse umbuso wayo, ukuthi bawuchithe bawuqede kuze kube sekupheleni.
27 Ka ko e puleʻanga mo e pule, pea mo e nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, ʻe tuku ki he kakai ko e kau māʻoniʻoni ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga, pea ko hono puleʻanga ko e puleʻanga taʻengata, pea ʻe tauhi mo talangofua kiate ia ʻae ngaahi pule kotoa pē.
Njalo umbuso lokubusa lobukhulu bemibuso ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke kuzanikwa abantu babangcwele boPhezukonke, ombuso wabo ngumbuso ongulaphakade, lemibuso yonke izamkhonza ilalele.
28 Ko eni ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe meʻa. Ka ko au Taniela ko ʻeku ngaahi fakakaukau naʻaku mātuʻaki mamahi ai, pea naʻe fakakehe hoku mata ʻiate au: ka naʻaku fakafufū ʻae meʻa ni ʻi hoku loto.”
Kuze kube lapha yisicino sendaba. Mina Daniyeli, imicabango yami yangethusa kakhulu, lokucwebezela kobuso bami kwaguquka kimi; kodwa ngalugcina udaba enhliziyweni yami.
