Daniel 5
1 Mfe bebree akyi no, Ɔhene Belsasar too pon kɛse maa ne mpanyimfo apem, na ɔne wɔn nom nsa.
UBelishazari inkosi wenzela iziphathamandla zakhe eziyinkulungwane idili elikhulu, wanatha iwayini phambi kwaleyonkulungwane.
2 Bere a nsa no ama Belsasar ani agye no, ɔhyɛe sɛ, wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nkuruwa a nʼagya Nebukadnessar tase fii Yerusalem asɔredan mu no mmra, sɛnea ɔne ne mpanyimfo, ne yerenom ne ne mpenanom bɛnom mu nsa.
UBelishazari, esalinambitha iwayini, walaya ukuthi balethe izitsha zegolide lezesiliva uyise uNebhukadinezari ayezikhuphe ethempelini elaliseJerusalema; ukuze inkosi, leziphathamandla zayo, omkayo, labafazi bayo abancane, banathele kizo.
3 Enti ɔde saa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a wɔtase fii Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem mu no bae, na ɔhene no ne ne mpanyimfo, ne yerenom ne ne mpenanom nom mu nsa.
Lapho baletha izitsha zegolide ezazikhutshwe ethempelini lendlu kaNkulunkulu eyayiseJerusalema; njalo inkosi, leziphathamandla zayo, omkayo, labafazi bayo abancane, banathela kizo.
4 Wɔrenom nsa no, wɔkamfoo wɔn ahoni a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere, dade, dua ne abo ayɛ no.
Banatha iwayini, badumisa onkulunkulu begolide, labesiliva, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe.
5 Amono mu hɔ no ara, wohui sɛ, onipa nsateaa rekyerɛw ɔhene ahemfi fasu no a ɛbɛn kaneadua no ho. Ɔhene no hwɛɛ nsa a ɛrekyerɛw no,
Ngalesosikhathi kwaphuma iminwe yesandla somuntu, yabhala maqondana lesiqobane sesibane phezu kokubhadiweyo komduli wesigodlo senkosi; inkosi yasibona inhlanekela yesandla esasibhala.
6 na ehu maa nʼanim danee. Sɛnea ɔbɔɔ hu no maa ne kotodwe keka bobɔɔ mu, na ne nan mu yɛɛ mmrɛw.
Khonokho ukucwebezela kobuso benkosi kwaphenduka, lemicabango yayo yayihlupha, kwaze kwaxega amalunga okhalo lwayo, lamadolo ayo atshayana.
7 Ɔhene no teɛɛ mu frɛɛ se wɔmfa pɛadeahufo, Kaldeafo ne ntafowayifo mmra nʼanim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ saa Babilonia anyansafo yi se, “Obiara a obetumi akenkan nkyerɛw yi, akyerɛ me ase no, wobefura no ɔtamkɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehye abasobɔde, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban agu ne kɔn mu. Ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ɔman sodifo a ɔto so abiɛsa wɔ ahemman yi mu.”
Inkosi yamemeza ngamandla ukuthi balethe izangoma, amaKhaladiya, labalumbi. Inkosi yaphendula, yathi kwabahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni: Wonke umuntu ongafunda lumbhalo, angitshengise ingcazelo yawo, uzagqokiswa okuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe, abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
8 Nanso ɔhene no anyansafo no bae no, wɔn mu biara antumi ankenkan nkyerɛw no, ankyerɛ ase amma ɔhene no.
Lapho bangena bonke abahlakaniphileyo benkosi; kodwa babengelakho ukuwubala umbhalo, lokwazisa inkosi ingcazelo yawo.
9 Enti ɛmaa ɔhene no ho yeraw no yiye, na nʼanim sesae. Nʼabirɛmpɔn nso ho yeraw wɔn.
Lapho inkosi uBelishazari yethuka kakhulu, lokucwebezela kobuso bayo kwaphenduka kuyo, leziphathamandla zayo zadideka.
10 Na bere a Ɔhemmea no tee ɔhene ne ne mpanyimfo nteɛteɛmu no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ apontodan mu hɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Belsasar se, “Nana nkwa so! Nana, nsuro na mma wʼanim nsesa!
Indlovukazi, ngenxa yamazwi enkosi leziphathamandla zayo, yangena endlini yedili. Indlovukazi yaphendula yathi: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini! Imicabango yakho kayingakwethusi, lokucwebezela kobuso bakho kakungaphenduki.
11 Ɔbarima bi wɔ wʼahenni mu ha a ɔwɔ anyame kronkron honhom wɔ ne mu. Wʼagya Nebukadnessar adedi mu no, wohuu sɛ, saa ɔbarima yi wɔ ntease nhumu ne nyansa te sɛ anyame no. Wʼagya Nebukadnessar sii no panyin wɔ nkonyaayifo, pɛadeahufo, Kaldeafo ne ntafowayifo so wɔ Babilonia.
Kulomuntu embusweni wakho okulomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele kuye; ngoba ensukwini zikayihlo kwatholwa kuye ukukhanya lokuqedisisa lenhlakanipho, njengenhlakanipho yabonkulunkulu; ngakho inkosi uNebhukadinezari uyihlo wamenza waba yinduna yezanuse, yezangoma, yamaKhaladiya, yabalumbi, uyihlo, nkosi.
12 Saa ɔbarima Daniel yi a ɔhene too no din Beltesasar yi adwene mu dɔ, na Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ ne ntease ahyɛ no ma. Otumi kyerɛ dae ne kasanyansa ase, na nsɛm a ɛkyere adwene no, ɔsan mu. Momfrɛ Daniel na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo nkyerɛw no ase.”
Ngoba umoya owedlulisileyo, lolwazi, lokuqedisisa, ukuchasisa amaphupho, lokuchasisa imizekeliso, lokutshombulula amafindo, kwatholakala kuye, kuDaniyeli, inkosi eyamutha ibizo elithi uBeliteshazari. Khathesi kabizwe uDaniyeli, uzatshengisa ingcazelo.
13 Enti wɔkɔfaa Daniel baa ɔhene anim. Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Wone Daniel no a mʼagya Nebukadnessar faa wo nnommum de wo fii Yuda bae no?
Lapho uDaniyeli walethwa phambi kwenkosi; inkosi yaphendula yathi kuDaniyeli: UngulowoDaniyeli, ongowabathunjwa bakoJuda, inkosi ubaba eyabaletha bevela koJuda yini?
14 Mate wo nka sɛ, wowɔ anyame honhom wɔ wo mu, na ntease, nhumu ne nyansa ahyɛ wo ma.
Sengizwile ngawe ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu ukuwe, lokuthi ukukhanya, lokuqedisisa, lenhlakanipho edlulisileyo kutholakala kuwe.
15 Wɔde anyansafo ne pɛadeahufo baa mʼanim sɛ wɔbɛkenkan nkyerɛw a egu ɔfasu yi ho yi na wɔnkyerɛ me ase, nanso wɔantumi.
Khathesi sebengenisiwe phambi kwami abahlakaniphileyo, izangoma, ukuze bawufunde lumbhalo, bangazise ingcazelo yawo; kodwa bebengelakho ukutshengisa ingcazelo yalinto.
16 Na mate wo nka sɛ wutumi kyerɛ nsɛm ase; na wosan nsɛm a ɛkyere adwene mu. Na sɛ wutumi kenkan nkyerɛw a ɛwɔ ɔfasu yi ho na wokyerɛ me ase a, wobefura wo ɔtamkɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehye abasobɔde, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban begu wo kɔn mu. Na wobɛyɛ ɔman sodifo a ɔto so abiɛsa wɔ ahemman yi mu.”
Kodwa mina ngizwile ngawe, ukuthi ulakho ukuchasisa izingcazelo, lokutshombulula amafindo. Khathesi uba ulakho ukufunda lumbhalo, ungazise ingcazelo yawo, uzagqokiswa okuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakho, ube ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
17 Daniel buaa ɔhene no se, “Nana, mesrɛ, ma wʼakyɛde no ntena hɔ na fa wʼabasobɔde no ma obi foforo. Nanso, Nana, mɛkenkan nkyerɛw no, na makyerɛ wo ase.
Lapho uDaniyeli waphendula wathi phambi kwenkosi: Izipho zakho kazibe ngezakho, lemivuzo yakho uyinike omunye. Loba kunjalo ngizayifundela inkosi umbhalo, ngiyazise ingcazelo.
18 “Nana, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn maa wʼagya Nebukadnessar kɛseyɛ, anuonyam ne nidi.
Wena nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uNebhukadinezari uyihlo umbuso, lobukhulu, lodumo, lenkazimulo.
19 Ɔyɛɛ no kɛse ara kosii sɛ, nnipa ahorow nyinaa, aman nyinaa ne kasa biara du nʼanim a, wɔn ho popo biribiribiri. Okunkum wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ okunkum wɔn, na ogyaa wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ogyaa wɔn. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn anuonyam no anuonyam, na wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbrɛ wɔn ase no, ɔbrɛɛ wɔn ase.
Langenxa yobukhulu amnika bona, bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi, bathuthumela besaba phambi kwakhe; lowo ayethanda wambulala, lalowo ayethanda wamgcina ephila, lalowo ayethanda wamphakamisa, lalowo ayethanda wamehlisela phansi.
20 Nanso ahomaso maa ne koma ne nʼadwene yɛɛ den no, woyii no fii nʼahengua so, sii no fam, gyee nʼanuonyam no.
Kodwa lapho inhliziyo yakhe yaziphakamisa, lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lukhuni ngokuzigqaja, wehliswa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi sombuso, bamthathela udumo lwakhe.
21 Wɔpam no fii nnipa mu. Wɔmaa no aboa adwene, na ɔne wuram mmoa tenae. Ɔwee sare te sɛ nantwi, na ɔsoro bosu fɔw no fɔkyee kosii sɛ, afei ohui sɛ, sɛɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn na odi wiase ahemman nyinaa so, na ɔno ara nso na oyi obi a ɔpɛ ma odi so.
Wasexotshwa ebantwaneni babantu, lenhliziyo yakhe yenziwa yafanana leyenyamazana, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala yaba labobabhemi beganga; bamdlisa utshani njengenkabi, lomzimba wakhe waba manzi ngamazolo amazulu, waze wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke uyabusa embusweni wabantu, lokuthi umisa phezu kwawo loba ngubani amthandayo.
22 “Nanso wo, ne ba Belsasar, wunim eyinom nyinaa, nanso woammrɛ wo ho ase.
Wena-ke, ndodana yakhe, Belishazari, kawuyithobisanga inhliziyo yakho, lanxa ukwazile konke lokhu.
23 Woama wo ho so atia Ɔsoro Awurade mmom. Woafa saa nkuruwa yi a esisi wʼanim a wɔfa fii nʼasɔredan mu no. Wo ne wʼatitiriw ne wo yerenom ne wo mpenanom anom mu nsa, bere a morekamfo dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere, dade, dua ne ɔbo anyame a wonhu ade, na wɔnnte asɛm, na wonnim hwee koraa no. Na moamfa nidi amma Onyankopɔn a okura mo nkwa na odi mo nkrabea so no.
Kodwa uziphakamisile wamelana leNkosi yamazulu; njalo baletha izitsha zendlu yayo phambi kwakho; wena-ke, leziphathamandla zakho, omkakho, labafazi bakho abancane, lanathela kuzo iwayini; udumisile onkulunkulu besiliva, labegolide, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe, abangaboniyo labangezwayo, labangaziyo; kodwa uNkulunkulu omphefumulo wakho usesandleni sakhe, lozindlela zakho zonke zingezakhe, kawumdumisanga.
24 Ne saa nti, Onyankopɔn asoma nsa yi sɛ, ɛmmɛkyerɛw nkra yi.
Khonokho le inhlanekela yesandla yathunywa ivela kuye; lumbhalo wasubhalwa.
25 “Nkra a, ɛkyerɛwee ni: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.
Njalo nanku umbhalo owabhalwayo: MENE, MENE, TEKELI, UFARISINI.
26 “Saa nsɛm yi nkyerɛase ni: “‘Mene’ nkyerɛase ne wɔakan. Onyankopɔn akan wʼahenni nna a aka na watwa so de aba nʼawiei.
Nansi ingcazelo yalolulutho: MENE: UNkulunkulu ubalile umbuso wakho, wawuqeda.
27 “‘Tekel’ nkyerɛase ne: wɔakari. Wɔakari wo wɔ nsania so, nanso woantumi sɔhwɛ no.
TEKELI: Ulinganisiwe esilinganisweni, watholwa usilela.
28 “‘Parsin’ nkyerɛase ne: wɔakyekyɛ mu. Wɔakyekyɛ wʼahenni mu ama Mediafo ne Persiafo.”
UPERESI: Umbuso wakho wehlukanisiwe, wanikwa amaMede lamaPerisiya.
29 Afei Belsasar ma wofuraa Daniel ɔtamkɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehye abasobɔde, de sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban guu ne kɔn mu. Wɔsoaa no sɛ, ɔman sodifo a ɔto so abiɛsa wɔ ahemman no mu.
Lapho uBelishazari walaya, basebemgqokisa uDaniyeli ngokuyibubende, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe, basebememezela ngaye ukuthi abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni.
30 Saa anadwo no ara, wokum Babiloniahene Belsasar.
Ngalobobusuku uBelishazari inkosi yamaKhaladiya wabulawa.
31 Na Dario a ofi Mede faa ahenni no, na wadi mfirihyia aduosia abien.
UDariyusi umMede wasesemukela umbuso, eleminyaka phose engamatshumi ayisithupha lambili.
