Daniel 11
1 Na Mediani Dario ahenni afe a edi kan no, misii gyinae sɛ megyina nʼakyi na mabɔ ne ho ban.)
Kwathi ngomnyaka wokuqala kaDariyu umuMede, ngazimisela ukuba ngime laye ngimsekele njalo ngimvikele.)”
2 “Na afei, mɛka mu nokware akyerɛ wo: ahemfo baasa bɛsɔre wɔ Persia, wɔn akyi no, nea ɔto so anan a obenya ne ho akyɛn nkae no bɛsɔre. Ɔde nʼahonya mu ahoɔden behwanyan obiara atia Hela ahenni.
“Manje-ke ngikutshela iqiniso: Kuzavela amanye amakhosi amathathu ePhezhiya, kulandele eyesine, ezanotha kakhulu okudlula amanye. Izakuthi ingazuza amandla ngenxa yenotho yayo izakhuthaza bonke abanye ukuxabana lombuso waseGrisi.
3 Afei ɔhene kɛse bi bɛsɔre wɔ tumi mu a ɔbɛyɛ nea ɔpɛ.
Besekuvela inkosi enkulu ezabusa ngamandla amakhulu, yenze njengokuthanda kwayo.
4 Ne ba no akyi, wɔbɛkyekyɛ nʼaheman no mu anan. Ɛrenkɔ nʼasefo nkyɛn, na ɔrennya tumi a na ɔwɔ no, efisɛ wobetutu nʼaheman no ase de ama afoforo.
Isivelile, umbuso wayo uzachitheka uhlakazekele kuyo yonke yomine imimoya yezulu. Kawuzukuya ezizukulwaneni zayo, njalo kawusayikuba lamandla owawulawo ngoba umbuso wakhe uzaqutshunwa uphiwe abanye.
5 “Ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no bɛyɛ den, nanso nʼasafohene no mu baako bɛyɛ den asen no na ɔde tumi a ɛyɛ den bedi ahemman no so.
Inkosi yaseNingizimu izakuba lamandla, kodwa omunye wabalawuli bayo bebutho uzakuba lamandla kulayo abesebusa kowakhe umbuso elamandla amakhulu.
6 Mfe bi akyi no, wɔbɛyɛ ayɔnko. Ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no babea bɛkɔ ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam no nkyɛn akɔyɛ nnamfofa apam; nanso ɔbabea no renkura ne tumi mu bio, na ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam ne ne tumi nso rennyina. Saa mmere no mu no, wobeyi ɔhene babea, adehye a wɔka ne ho, nʼagya ne nea ogyinaa nʼakyi nyinaa no ama.
Ngemva kweminyaka ethile, bazasekelana njengabangane. Indodakazi yenkosi yaseNingizimu izakuya enkosini yaseNyakatho iyekwenza ubudlelwano, kodwa amandla ayo indodakazi kawayikuma, lenkosi leyo kanye lamandla ayo kakuba khona okwesikhathi eside. Ngalezonsuku indodakazi izadelwa, yona kanye lomndlunkulu wayo, loyise kanye lalowo owayeyisekela.
7 “Obi a ofi anafo fam babea abusua mu bɛsɔre asi nʼanan mu. Na ɔde dɔm bɛba abɛhyɛn ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam aban no mu na ɔne wɔn ako na wadi wɔn so nkonim.
Kuzavela omunye owosendo lwayo ozathatha isikhundla sayo. Uzahlasela amabutho empi enkosi yaseNyakatho angene enqabeni yayo; uzakulwa lawo awehlule.
8 Ɔbɛfa wɔn anyame, ahoni a wɔde dade ayɛ ne wɔn ademude a wɔde dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ akɔ Misraim. Na mfe bi mu no, ɔbɛtwe ne ho afi ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam no ho.
Uzathumba njalo onkulunkulu babo, lezithombe zabo zensimbi kanye lezitsha zabo eziligugu ezesiliva legolide azithwalele eGibhithe. Okweminyaka ethile uzake akhohlwe ngenkosi yaseNyakatho.
9 Afei ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam no bɛtow ahyɛ ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no so, nanso ɔbɛsan nʼakyi akɔ nʼankasa asase so.
Kuzakuthi inkosi yaseNyakatho ihlasele umbuso wenkosi yaseNingizimu kodwa iphinde ihlehlele muva elizweni layo.
10 Ne mmabarima besiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko na wɔde asraafo dɔm kɛse bɛkɔ te sɛ asu a ayiri, akɔko ara akodu atamfo no aban no ho.
Amadodana ayo azalungisela impi aphake iviyo elikhulu lamabutho azathululeka njengesikhukhula sikazamcolo impi ize iyengena enqabeni yayo eyaseNingizimu.
11 “Afei ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no de abufuw kɛse bɛsɔre na wako atia ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam a ɔno nso wɔ asraafo dɔm kɛse, na obedi wɔn so nkonim.
Lapho-ke inkosi yaseNingizimu izaphuma ngokuthukuthela iyekulwa lenkosi yaseNyakatho, yona ezaphaka iviyo elikhulu lempi, kodwa izakwehlulwa.
12 Sɛ wɔde asraafo no kɔ a, ahantan bɛhyɛ anafo fam hene no ma, na obekunkum mpempem, nanso ne nkonimdi no renkyɛ.
Kuzakuthi nxa amabutho esethunjiwe, inkosi yaseNingizimu izazikhukhumeza, ibisibulala izinkulungwane ezinengi, kodwa kayiyikuhlala inqoba.
13 Ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam nso bɛboa asraafo afoforo a wɔdɔɔso sen kan de no, na mfirihyia bebree akyi no, ɔde asraafo dɔm kɛse a wɔwɔ akode betu ɔsa.
Ngoba inkosi yaseNyakatho izabutha elinye ibutho elikhulu kulelakuqala; kuthi ngemva kweminyaka embalwa izahlasela ngebutho elikhulukazi lihlome liphelele.
14 “Saa mmere no mu, bebree bɛsɔre atia ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam. Wɔn a wodi akakabensɛm wɔ wʼankasa wo nkurɔfo mu no bɛtew atua sɛnea ɛte wɔ anisoadehu no mu no, nanso wɔrenni nkonim.
Kulezozikhathi banengi abazavukela inkosi yaseNingizimu. Izidlwangudlwangu phakathi kwabantu bakini zizahlamuka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbono, kodwa kaziyikuphumelela.
15 Afei ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam no bɛba abesisi mpie na ɔbɛko agye kuropɔn a wɔagye ho ban no. Asraafo a wɔwɔ anafo fam no rennya ahoɔden nko, na wɔn a wɔyɛ den wɔ wɔn mu no mpo rentumi nnyina ɔko no ano.
Inkosi yaseNyakatho izafika yakhe amadundulu okuvimbezela, ithumbe idolobho elivikelwe ngenqaba. Amabutho aseNingizimu azakwehluleka ukuzivikela; kanye lamaqhawe awo odumo kazukuba lamandla okuma.
16 Ɔfowni no bɛyɛ nea ɔpɛ na obiara rentumi nnyina nʼanim. Obegye Asase Fɛɛfɛ no abɔ so, na obenya tumi a ɔde bɛsɛe no.
Umhlaseli uzazenzela intando yakhe, kakho loyedwa ozakuba lamandla okumelana laye. Izazibeka iqine eLizweni Elihle ibe lamandla okulichithiza.
17 Ɔbɛyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔde ahoɔden a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼahenni no mu nyinaa bɛba, na afei ɔne ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no akɔyɛ nnamfofa apam. Ɔde ne babea bɛma no aware, na ɔnam so agu nʼahenni no, nanso nʼatirimpɔw yi renyɛ yiye na ɛremmoa no.
Izazimisela ukuza ngenkani yombuso wayo wonke yenze isivumelwano sokuvikelana lenkosi yaseNingizimu. Izamendisela indodakazi yayo ukuze iwuchithe umbuso, kodwa amacebo ayo lawo kawayikuphumelela, kawayikuyisiza.
18 Afei ɔde nʼani bɛkyerɛ mpoano aman so, na wadi mu bebree so nkonim, nanso, ɔsahene bi de ɔhene yi ahomaso bɛba awiei na wadan abɔ no.
Abeseguqukela ngasemazweni asemakhunjini olwandle awathumbe amanengi akhona, kodwa umlawuli wempi omunye uzamquma umsila amnqobe.
19 Eyi akyi no, ɔde nʼani bɛkyerɛ aban a ɛwɔ nʼasase so no, nanso obehintiw ahwe ase, na wɔrenhu no bio.
Ngemva kwalokhu izabuyela ezinqabeni zelizwe layo kodwa izakhubeka iwe, ingaphindi ibonakale futhi.
20 “Nea obedi nʼade no bɛsoma towgyeni, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obenya nea ɛbɛma nʼahenni no anuonyam atena hɔ. Mfirihyia kakra bi akyi no, wɔbɛsɛe no; nanso ɛremfi abufuw anaa ɔko mu.
Ozathatha ubukhosi ngemva kwayo uzathuma umthelisi ukuze buqhubeke ubukhazikhazi basesikhosini. Kodwa kungeminyaka mingaki izaqethulwa, kungasikho ngodlakela kumbe empini.
21 “Obi a wommu no na ɔnyɛ ɔdehye na obedi nʼade. Ɔbɛtow ahyɛ ahenni no so bere a so nnipa no asom adwo wɔn, na ɔde nnaadaa agye.
Izalandelwa ngumuntu odelelekileyo ongelakho ukuhlonipheka kobukhosi. Uzawuhlasela umbuso ngesikhathi abantu bawo besithi sebezinzile, awuthumbe ngokuxabanisa abanye.
22 Afei ɔbɛtɔre asraafo dɔm a wontumi nkan wɔn dodow no ase. Wɔbɛsɛe asraafo no ne ɔhenebabarima a ɔhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase no.
Kuzakuthi impi eyesabekayo ikhukhulwe phambi kwakhe; yona lenkosi yesivumelwano kuzabhujiswa.
23 Wɔne no yɛ apam wie a, ɔnam nnaadaa kwan so benya nnipa kakraa bi na wapere tumi.
Ngemva kokwenza isivumelwano layo uzakwenza inkohliso abesezuza ubukhosi encediswa lihlekana labantu.
24 Sɛ amantam a wɔyɛ adefo no te nka sɛ wɔn asom adwo wɔn a, ɔbɛtow ahyɛ wɔn so, na nea nʼagyanom ne ne nenanom antumi anyɛ no, ɔbɛyɛ. Ɔbɛkyekyɛ asade ne ahonyade ama nʼakyidifo. Ɔbɛbɔ pɔw atu aban agu, nanso ɛbɛyɛ nna tiaa bi mu.
Kuzakuthi lezozigodi ezilenotho enengi sezisithi zizinzile uzazihlasela aphumelele okungazange kwenziwe nguyise loba ngokhokho bakhe. Uzakwaba impango lenotho kubalandeli bakhe. Uzakwakha amacebo okubhidliza izinqaba kodwa okwesikhatshana nje.
25 “Obenya asraafo dɔm kɛse na wanya ahoɔden ne akokoduru asɔre atia ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam. Ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no de asraafo a wɔdɔɔso na wɔyɛ den betu ɔsa, nanso ɔrentumi nnyina, esiane pɔw ahorow a wɔabɔ de atia no nti.
Uzaphaka impi enkulu ukuze avuselele amandla akhe aqunge isibindi sokusukela inkosi yaseNingizimu. Inkosi yaseNingizimu izadumelana laye ngempi enkulu elamandla, kodwa kayizukuma ngenxa yamacebo azakwenziwa awokuyiqethula.
26 Wɔn a ɔhene bɔ wɔn akɔnhama no bɛbɔ mmɔden sɛ wobehuan nʼase antweri; wobetwiw afa ɔhene no asraafo no so, na bebree nso bɛtotɔ wɔ ɔko mu.
Labo abadla esiphaleni senkosi bazazama ukuyibulala; impi yakhe izakhukhulwa, kufe abanengi empini.
27 Ahemfo baanu a bɔne adi wɔn ti mu dɛm bɛtena ɔpon baako ho, adi atoro akyerɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho, nanso ɛrenkosi hwee, efisɛ awiei no bɛba ne bere a wɔahyɛ no.
Amakhosi la amabili alenhliziyo ezigaya izibozi azahlala tafula linye aqambelane amanga, kodwa kungancedi lutho ngoba isiphetho sizajinge sifike ngesikhathi esimisiweyo.
28 Ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam no de ahonyade bebree bɛsan akɔ ne man mu, nanso ne koma rempɛ apam kronkron no. Ɔbɛyɛ biribi atia apam kronkron no na wasan akɔ ne man mu.
Inkosi yaseNyakatho izabuyela elizweni layo ikhithika ngenotho, kodwa inhliziyo yayo izabe ilokozela isivumelwano esingcwele. Kukhona ezakwenza ngaso andubana ibuyele elizweni layo.
29 “Bere a wɔahyɛ no du a, ɔbɛtow ahyɛ anafo aman no so bio, nanso saa bere yi de, ɛrenyɛ yiye mma no sɛ kan no.
Ngesikhathi esimisiweyo izahlasela eNingizimu njalo, kodwa ngalesosikhathi impumela yakhona kayizukufana leyakuqala.
30 Ahyɛn a wofi aman a ɛwɔ mpoano wɔ atɔe fam no bɛko atia no, na nʼabasa mu bebu. Enti ɔbɛsan nʼakyi na ɔde nʼabufuw akowie apam kronkron no so, na ɔne wɔn a wɔpo apam kronkron no bɛyɛ baako.
Imikhumbi evela emakhunjini olwandle lwasentshonalanga izamelana layo ihle iphele amandla. Izabuyela emuva iyebhodlisela ulaka lwayo phezu kwesivumelwano esingcwele. Izaphinda isekele labo abadela isivumelwano esingcwele.
31 “Na nʼasraafo bɛsɔre. Wobegu asɔredan no aban ho fi, na wɔagu daa daa afɔrebɔ no. Wɔde abusude a ɛde ɔsɛe ba besi anan mu.
Amabutho ayo ahlomileyo azasuka angcolise inqaba yethempeli, acinise umhlatshelo wansuku zonke. Yikho-ke abesemisa lawomanyala azaletha incithakalo.
32 Ɔde nnaadaa bɛkɔ so asɛe wɔn a wobu apam no so, nanso wɔn a wonim wɔn Nyankopɔn no bɛsɔre atia no denneennen.
Ngobuqili bayo izabaxhwalisa labo asebesephulile isivumelwano, kodwa labobantu abamaziyo uNkulunkulu wabo bazajamelana layo yehluleke.
33 “Anyansafo bɛkyerɛkyerɛ bebree, nanso bere bi mu no, wɔbɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano, wɔbɛhyew wɔn, wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum anaa wɔbɛfom wɔn nneɛma.
Labo abahlakaniphileyo bazafundisa abanengi, lokuba nje okwesikhathi esithile bezakuwa ngenkemba, kumbe batshiswe, kumbe bathunjwe loba baphangwe.
34 Sɛ wɔhwe ase a, wobenya mmoa kakra, na bebree a wonni nokware bɛkɔ akɔdɔm wɔn.
Ekumeni kwabo bazazuza uncedo oluncinyane, kuthi abanengi abangazimiselanga bazihlanganise lezitha.
35 Anyansafo no mu bi behintihintiw. Ɛnam so bɛma wɔasiesie wɔn, ahohoro wɔn ho fi na wɔayɛ wɔn a wɔn ho nni nkekae akosi awiei bere no, efisɛ ɛbɛba bere a wɔahyɛ no.
Abanye babahlakaniphileyo bazakhubeka, ukuze bacoliswe, bahlanjululwe njalo benziwe bahlanzeke kuze kufike isikhathi sokucina, ngoba sijinge sizafika ngesikhathi leso esimisiweyo.”
36 “Ɔhene no bɛyɛ nea ɔpɛ, ɔbɛma ne ho so, ayɛ ne ho ɔkɛse asen onyame biara, na waka nea obi ntee da afa anyame mu Nyame no ho. Obenya nkɔso akosi sɛ abufuw bere no bɛba awiei, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ nea wɔahyɛ ato hɔ no ba mu.
“Inkosi izakwenza njengokuthanda kwayo. Izaziphakamisa njalo izikhukhumeze ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke ikhihlize izibozi ngoNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu. Izaphumelela kuze kugcwaliseke isikhathi sentukuthelo, ngoba lokho okumisiweyo kusamele kwenzeke.
37 Obebu nʼagyanom anyame animtiaa. Ɔremfa mmea no nyame a wɔdɔ no anaa onyame foforo biara nyɛ hwee, na mmom ɔbɛma ne ho so aboro wɔn nyinaa so.
Kayizukubananza onkulunkulu baboyise, kumbe lowo olangathwa ngabesifazane, njalo kayiyikunanza lawuphi unkulunkulu, kodwa izaziphakamisa ngaphezulu kwabo bonke.
38 Ɔde aban no nyame, nyame a nʼagyanom nnim besi wɔn anan mu; ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, aboɔdemmo ne akyɛde a ɛsom bo bedi no ni.
Esikhundleni sabo izakhonza unkulunkulu wezinqaba, unkulunkulu owayengaziwa ngoyise izamkhonza ngegolide langesiliva langamatshe aligugu lezipho ezidulayo.
39 Ɔde mmoa a onya fi ananafo nyame hɔ no bɛtow ahyɛ aban a ɛyɛ den pa ara so, na wɔn a wogye no to mu no, ɔbɛhyɛ wɔn anuonyam. Obedi nnipa bebree so, na ɔbɛkyekyɛ asase no mu de ayɛ akatua.
Izahlasela izinqaba eziqine okudlulayo incediswa ngunkulunkulu wezizweni njalo ibahloniphe kakhulu labo abayivumayo. Izababeka ukuba ngababusi babantu abanengi njalo umhlaba izawaba ngokuphiwa intengo.
40 “Awiei no du a, ɔhene a ɔwɔ anafo fam no ne no bɛko, na ɔhene a ɔwɔ atifi fam no nso de nteaseɛnam, apɔnkɔsotefo ne po so asraafo bebree behyia no. Ɔbɛtow ahyɛ aman bebree so na watwiw afa wɔn so te sɛ nsuyiri.
Ngesikhathi sokucina inkosi yaseNingizimu izadumelana layo empini, lenkosi yaseNyakatho izatheleka layo ngezinqola zempi, lebutho, lamabhiza kanye langemikhumbi eminengi. Izahlasela amazwe amanengi iwakhukhule njengozamcolo.
41 Ɔbɛtow ahyɛ Asase Fɛfɛ no so. Aman bebree bɛtotɔ ase, nanso wobegye Edom, Moab ne Amon mu fa kɛse afi ne nsam.
Izahlasela njalo iLizwe Elihle. Azakuwa amazwe amanengi, kodwa i-Edomi leMowabi labakhokheli bako-Amoni bazaphepha esandleni sayo.
42 Ɔde ne tumi bɛkɔ aman bebree so; na Misraim remfi mu tɔtrɔtɔɔ.
Izaqhelisa amandla ayo phezu kwamazwe amanengi; iGibhithe kayiyikuphunyuka.
43 Ɔde ne nsa bɛto ademude a ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ ne Misraim ahonyade nyinaa so, na Libiafo ne Etiopiafo ayɛ nʼasomfo.
Izahluthuna inotho legolide lesiliva layo yonke inotho yaseGibhithe, amaLibhiya lamaKhushi ayikhonze.
44 Nanso amanneɛ a ɔbɛte afi apuei ne atifi fam bɛbɔ no hu, na ɔde abufuwhyew befi akɔ akɔsɛe bebree atɔre wɔn ase.
Kodwa imibiko evela empumalanga lasenyakatho izayethusa ibisiphuma ngolaka olukhulu ukuyabulala lokutshabalalisa abanengi.
45 Ɔbɛhoro nʼadehye ntamadan wɔ po no ne bepɔw kronkron fɛɛfɛ no ntam. Na nʼawiei bɛba a ɔrennya mmoa biara.
Izamisa amathente ayo obukhosi phakathi kolwandle lentaba engcwele enhle. Kodwa kuzafika okwayo ukuphela, engasekho ongayisiza.”
