1 Mfeɛ bebree akyi no, Ɔhene Belsasar too ɛpono kɛseɛ maa ne mpanimfoɔ apem, na ɔne wɔn nom nsã.
Inkosi uBhelishazari wenzela izikhulu zakhe ezizinkulungwane idili elikhulu, wanatha lazo iwayini.
2 Ɛberɛ a nsã no ama Belsasar ani agye no, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nkuruwa a nʼagya Nebukadnessar tase firii Yerusalem asɔredan mu no mmra, sɛdeɛ ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ, ne yerenom ne ne mpenafoɔ bɛnom mu nsã.
Kwathi uBhelishazari enatha iwayini lakhe walaya ukuthi kulethwe izitsha zegolide lezesiliva ezazithethwe nguyise uNebhukhadineza ethempelini eJerusalema, efuna ukuthi inkosi, lezikhulu zayo, labafazi bayo kanye labafazi bayo beceleni banathele kuzo.
3 Enti, wɔde saa sikakɔkɔɔ nkuruwa a wɔtase firii Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem mu no baeɛ, na ɔhene no ne ne mpanimfoɔ ne yerenom ne ne mpenafoɔ nom mu nsã.
Yikho baziletha izitsha zegolide ezazithethwe ethempelini likaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, kwasekusithi inkosi lezikhulu zayo kanye labafazi bayo beceleni banathela kuzo.
4 Wɔrenom nsã no, wɔkamfoo wɔn ahoni a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere, dadeɛ, dua ne aboɔ ayɛ no.
Bathi belinatha iwayini babelokhu bedumisa onkulunkulu begolide labesiliva, labethusi, labensimbi, labezigodo labamatshe.
5 Amonom hɔ no ara, wɔhunuu sɛ, onipa nsateaa retwerɛ ɔhene ahemfie ɔfasuo no a ɛbɛn kaneadua no ho. Ɔhene no hwɛɛ nsa a ɛretwerɛ no,
Masinyane nje kwavela iminwe yesandla somuntu yaloba emdulini eduzane loluthi lwesibane esigodlweni. Inkosi yasibukela isandla siloba.
6 na ehu maa nʼanim daneeɛ. Sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ hu no maa ne kotodwe keka boboom, na ne nan mu yɛɛ mmrɛ.
Ubuso bayo bahloba, yethuka amadolo ayo aze atshayana, imilenze yathamba yathi wohlo phansi.
7 Ɔhene no teaam frɛɛ sɛ, wɔmfa pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, Kaldeafoɔ ne ntafowayifoɔ mmra nʼanim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ saa Babilonia anyansafoɔ yi sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛtumi akenkan atwerɛ yi, akyerɛ me aseɛ no, wɔbɛfira no tam kɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehyeɛ abasobɔdeɛ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban agu ne kɔn mu. Ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ɔman sodifoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa wɔ ahemman yi mu.”
Inkosi yamemeza yathi kakubizwe izangoma lezingcazi zezinkanyezi kanye lezanuse yasisithi kuwo la amadoda ayizihlakaniphi zaseBhabhiloni, “Loba ngubani ongabala umbhalo lo angitshele ukuthi utshoni uzagqokiswa eziyibubende agqiziswe iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe, njalo uzaphiwa isikhundla sesithathu sokuba ngumbusi kulelilizwe.”
8 Nanso, ɔhene no anyansafoɔ no baeɛ no, wɔn mu biara antumi ankenkan atwerɛ no, ankyerɛ aseɛ amma ɔhene no.
Zasezingena zonke izihlakaniphi. Kodwa zehluleka ukuwubala umbhalo lokutshela inkosi ukuthi utshoni.
9 Enti, ɛmaa ɔhene no ho yeraa no yie, na nʼanim sesaeɛ. Nʼaberempɔn nso ho yeraa wɔn.
Ngakho inkosi uBhelishazari yathuthumela okwedlulayo, ubuso bayo bahloba. Izikhulu zayo zadideka.
10 Na ɛberɛ a Ɔhemmaa no tee ɔhene ne ne mpanimfoɔ nteateam no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ apontoɔ dan mu hɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Belsasar sɛ, “Nana nkwa so! Nana nsuro na mma wʼanim nsesa!
Indlovukazi yathi isizwa amazwi enkosi lezikhulu zayo yeza yangena endlini yedili. Yathi, “Oh nkosi, mana njalo. Ungethuki! Ungaze wahloba kanjalo!
11 Ɔbarima bi wɔ wʼahemman mu ha a ɔwɔ anyame kronkron sunsum wɔ ne mu. Wʼagya Nebukadnessar adedie mu no, wɔhunuu sɛ, saa ɔbarima yi wɔ nteaseɛ nhunumu ne nyansa te sɛ anyame no. Wʼagya Nebukadnessar sii no panin wɔ nkonyaayifoɔ, pɛadeɛhunufoɔ, Kaldeafoɔ ne ntafowayifoɔ so wɔ Babilonia.
Kulomuntu embusweni wakho olomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele phakathi kwakhe. Ngesikhathi sikayihlo watshengisa ukuqonda, lokukhalipha lenhlakanipho okufana lokwabonkulunkulu. Uyihlo, inkosi uNebhukhadineza yambeka ukuba yinduna yabomasalamusi, lezangoma, lezingcazi zezinkanyezi lezanuse.
12 Saa ɔbarima Daniel yi a ɔhene too no din Beltesasar yi adwene mu dɔ, na Onyankopɔn ho nimdeɛ ne nteaseɛ ahyɛ no ma. Ɔtumi kyerɛ daeɛ ne kasanyansa ase, na nsɛm a ɛkyere adwene no, ɔsane mu. Momfrɛ Daniel na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo atwerɛ no ase.”
Indoda le, uDanyeli, inkosi eyayimbiza ngokuthi nguBhelitheshazari, wabonakala elengqondo evukileyo, lolwazi lokuzwisisa, njalo elamandla okuhumutsha amaphupho, lokuchaza amalibho kanye lokuhlahlula izinkinga ezinzima. Mbize uDanyeli, uzakutshela ukuthi umbhalo utshoni.”
13 Enti, wɔkɔfaa Daniel baa ɔhene anim. Ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Wone Daniel no a mʼagya Nebukadnessar faa wo nnommum de wo firii Yuda baeɛ no?
Ngakho uDanyeli walethwa phambi kwenkosi, inkosi yathi kuye, “Wena unguye uDanyeli na, omunye wabathunjwa abalethwa ngubaba inkosi bevela koJuda?
14 Mate wo nka sɛ, wowɔ anyame sunsum wɔ wo mu, na nteaseɛ nhunumu ne nyansa ahyɛ wo ma.
Sengizwile ukuthi umoya wabonkulunkulu uphakathi kwakho lokuthi ulokuqonda, lokukhalipha lenhlakanipho eyinqaba.
15 Wɔde anyansafoɔ ne pɛadeɛhunufoɔ baa mʼanim sɛ wɔbɛkenkan atwerɛ a ɛgu ɔfasuo yi ho yi na wɔnkyerɛ me aseɛ, nanso wɔntumi.
Izihlakaniphi lezangoma zilethwe kimi ukuthi zingibalele umbhalo lo, zingitshele ukuthi utshoni, kodwa zehlulekile ukuwuchaza.
16 Na mate wo nka sɛ wotumi kyerɛ nsɛm ase; na wosane nsɛm a ɛkyere adwene mu. Na sɛ wotumi kenkan atwerɛ a ɛwɔ ɔfasuo yi ho na wo kyerɛ me aseɛ a, wɔbɛfira wo ɔtankɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehyeɛ abasobɔdeɛ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban bɛgu wo kɔn mu. Na wobɛyɛ ɔman sodifoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa wɔ ahemman yi mu.”
Manje sengizwile ukuthi wena ulamandla okutsho ingcazelo lokuhlahlula izinkinga ezinzima. Aluba ungawubala umbhalo lo uphinde ungitshele ukuthi utshoni, uzagqokiswa eziyibubende, ugqiziswe leketane legolide entanyeni yakho, uphinde ubekwe esikhundleni sokuba ngowesithathu ebukhulwini bombuso lo.”
17 Daniel buaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Nana, mesrɛ, ma wʼakyɛdeɛ no ntena hɔ na fa wʼabasobɔdeɛ no ma obi foforɔ. Nanso, Nana, mɛkenkan atwerɛ no, na makyerɛ wo aseɛ.
UDanyeli wasephendula inkosi wathi, “Ungazigcinela lezozipho zakho, uphe leyomivuzo yakho omunye umuntu. Loba kunjalo ngizayibalela inkosi umbhalo lowo ngiyitshele ukuthi utshoni.
18 “Nana, Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn maa wʼagya Nebukadnessar kɛseyɛ, animuonyam ne anidie.
Yebo kambe nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uyihlo uNebhukhadineza ubukhosi lobukhulu lodumo kanye lenkazimulo.
19 Ɔyɛɛ no kɛse ara kɔsii sɛ, nnipa ahodoɔ nyinaa, aman nyinaa ne kasa biara duru nʼanim a, wɔn ho popo biribiribiri. Ɔkunkumm wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkunkum wɔn, ɛnna ɔgyaee wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔgyaa wɔn. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ wɔn animuonyam no animuonyam, ɛnna wɔn a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbrɛ wɔn ase no, ɔbrɛɛ wɔn ase.
Ngenxa yesikhundla esiphezulu amnika sona, bonke abantu kanye lezizwe zonke labantu bendimi zonke babemqhuqha, bemesaba. Labo inkosi eyafuna ukubabulala, yababulala; labo eyafuna ukubaxolela, yabaxolela; labo eyafuna ukubakhweza ezikhundleni yabakhweza; kwathi labo eyafuna ukubayangisa, yabayangisa.
20 Nanso, ahomasoɔ maa nʼakoma ne nʼadwene yɛɛ den no no, wɔyii no firii nʼahennwa so, sii no fam, gyee nʼanimuonyam no.
Kodwa kwathi lapho inhliziyo yayo isilobuqholo, isilukhuni ngokuzigqaja yethulwa esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi yaphucwa udumo lwayo.
21 Wɔpamoo no firi nnipa mu. Wɔmaa no aboa adwene, na ɔne wiram mmoa tenaeɛ. Ɔwee ɛserɛ te sɛ nantwie, na ɔsoro bosuo fɔɔ no kyaww kɔsii sɛ, afei ɔhunuu sɛ, sɛɛ Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn na ɔdi ewiase ahemman nyinaa so, na ɔno ara nso na ɔyi obi a ɔpɛ ma ɔdi so.
Yaxotshwa ebantwini yaphiwa ingqondo yenyamazana; yahlala labobabhemi beganga, yadla utshani njengezinkomo; lomzimba wayo wagxanxwa ngamazolo omkhathi yaze yavuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke nguye uThixo phezu kwemibuso yabantu, abeke phezu kwayo loba nguphi umbusi amthandayo.
22 “Nanso wo, ne ba Belsasar, wonim yeinom nyinaa, nanso woammrɛ wo ho ase.
Kodwa wena ndodana yayo, awu Bhelishazari, kawuzithobanga, lokuba ukwazi konke lokhu.
23 Wama wo ho so atia Ɔsoro Awurade mmom. Woafa saa nkuruwa yi a ɛsisi wʼanim a wɔfa firii nʼasɔredan mu no. Wo ne wʼatitire ne wo yerenom ne wo mpenafoɔ anom mu nsã, ɛberɛ a morekamfo dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere, dadeɛ, dua ne ɛboɔ anyame a wɔnhunu adeɛ, na wɔnnte asɛm, na wɔnnim hwee koraa no. Na moamfa anidie amma Onyankopɔn a ɔkura mo nkwa na ɔdi mo hyɛberɛ so no.
Endaweni yalokho, uzimisele ukumelana loThixo wezulu. Wathi kakuthathwe izitsha zethempeli layo zilethwe kuwe, kwasekusithi wena lezikhulu zakho, labafazi bakho kanye labafazi bakho beceleni lanathela iwayini kuzo. Wadumisa onkulunkulu besiliva legolide, abethusi, lensimbi, lezigodo lamatshe, abangaboniyo, labangezwayo labangaqedisisiyo. Kodwa kawumhloniphanga uNkulunkulu ophethe ukuphila kwakho kanye lezindlela zakho zonke esandleni sakhe.
24 Ne saa enti, Onyankopɔn asoma nsa yi sɛ, ɛmmɛtwerɛ nkra yi.
Kungakho ethumele lesosandla esalobe lumbhalo.
25 “Nkra a ɛtwerɛeɛ nie: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.
Nanku umbhalo obulotshiwe: mene, mene, thekheli, pharisini.
26 “Saa nsɛm yi asekyerɛ nie: “Mene asekyerɛ ne wɔakan. Onyankopɔn akan wʼahennie nna a aka na watwa so de aba nʼawieeɛ.
Nanku okutshiwo ngamagama la: Mene: Nkulunkulu usezibalile insuku zokubusa kwakho, usekuqedile.
27 “Tekel asekyerɛ ne wɔakari. Wɔakari wo wɔ nsania so, nanso woantumi sɔhwɛ no.
Thekheli: Usulinganisiwe esikalini wafunyanwa ulula.
28 “Parsin asekyerɛ ne wɔakyekyɛ mu. Wɔakyekyɛ wʼahemman mu ama Mediafoɔ ne Persiafoɔ.”
Pharisini: Umbuso wakho usuhlukaniswe phakathi, wabelwa amaMede lamaPhezhiya.”
29 Afei, Belsasar ma wɔfiraa Daniel ɔtankɔkɔɔ a ɛyɛ adehyeɛ abasobɔdeɛ, de sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban guu ne kɔn mu. Wɔsoaa no sɛ, ɔman sodifoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa wɔ ahemman no mu.
Kwathi ngomlayo kaBhelishazari uDanyeli wagqokiswa eziyibubende, wagqiziswa iketane legolide entanyeni yakhe, kwamenyezelwa ukuthi usengumbusi wesikhundla sobuthathu elizweni.
30 Saa anadwo no ara, wɔkumm Babiloniahene Belsasar.
Ngabona lobobusuku uBhelishazari, inkosi yamaBhabhiloni wabulawa,
31 Na Dario a ɔfiri Mede faa ahennie no a na wadi mfirinhyia aduosia mmienu.
kwathi uDariyu umuMede wabuthatha ubukhosi eleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lambili.
