Danyela 5:1-31
5 INkhosi Bhelshasari+ yentela tindvuna tayo letingu-1 000 lidzili lelikhulu, futsi yona beyihleti embikwato inatsa liwayini.+
2 Ngesikhatsi iNkhosi Bhelshasari seyidzakiwe, yatfumela umlayeto wekutsi kuyolandvwa tindzebe teligolide netelisiliva lebetitsetfwe ngubabe* wayo Nebukhadnezari ethempelini lebeliseJerusalema,+ kuze yona netindvuna tayo, emaphovela ayo kanye nalabanye bafati bayo banatsele kuto.
3 Ngako taletfwa letindzebe teligolide lebetitsetfwe endzaweni lengcwele yendlu yaNkulunkulu lebeyiseJerusalema, futsi inkhosi netindvuna tayo, nemaphovela ayo kanye nalabanye bafati bayo banatsela kuto.
4 Banatsa liwayini, badvumisa bonkulunkulu labakhiwe ngeligolide nangelisiliva, ngelitfusi, ngensimbi, ngelugodvo nangelitje.
5 Ngaso leso sikhatsi, kwatsi mefu sandla semuntfu, sabhala elubondzeni macondzana nelutsi lwesibane esigodlweni senkhosi, futsi inkhosi yasibona lesandla njengobe besibhala.
6 Ngako yashintja ebusweni, naloko lokwefika engcondvweni yayo kwayetfusa, imilente yayo yachachatela,+ futsi kwacegetela nemadvolo.
7 Inkhosi yamemeta kakhulu yatsi akubitwe tangoma, emaKhaledi* kanye nalabaphengula ngekufundza tinkhanyeti.+ Yatjela labantfu labahlakaniphile baseBhabhulona yatsi: “Umuntfu lotawufundza loku lokubhaliwe futsi angitjele inchazelo yako, utawugcokiswa ingubo lebukhwebeletane,* agatjiswe umgaco weligolide entsanyeni,+ futsi utawuba ngumbusi wesitsatfu embusweni.”+
8 Kodvwa kute ngisho namunye kulabantfu labahlakaniphile labeta enkhosini lowakhona kufundza lombhalo, futsi kute kubo lowakhona kusho inchazelo yawo.+
9 Ngako iNkhosi Bhelshasari yesaba kakhulu nebuso bayo bashintja; futsi tindvuna tayo tetfuka kakhulu.+
10 Indlovukazi yatsi kube ive loko inkhosi netindvuna tayo lebetikhuluma ngako, yangena kulendlu yelidzili. Yafike yatsi: “Lunwele loludze nkhosi. Letintfo loticabangako atingakwesabisi nkhosi, futsi ungetfuki uze ubonakale nasebusweni.
11 Lapha embusweni wakho kunendvodza* lenemoya wabonkulunkulu labangcwele. Ngesikhatsi sababe wakho, kwatfolakala kutsi lendvodza inelwati lolunyenti, inekucondza futsi ihlakaniphe njengabonkulunkulu.+ Babe wakho Nebukhadnezari wayibeka kutsi ibe yindvuna yebaphristi labenta imilingo, yetangoma, yemaKhaledi* neyalabaphengula ngekufundza tinkhanyeti.+
12 Danyela, loyo inkhosi leyametsa yatsi nguBhelteshasari,+ bekanengcondvo lekhaliphile, anelwati futsi anekucondza lobekumenta kutsi akhone kuchaza emaphupho, netiphicwaphicwane kanye nekucatulula tinkinga letimatima.*+ Manje-ke bita Danyela futsi utakuchazela loku lokubhaliwe.”
13 Ngako Danyela waletfwa embikwenkhosi. Inkhosi yambuta yatsi: “UnguDanyela yini wena, futsi ungulomunye yini walabo labatsatfwa ngubabe kaJuda wabatfumba?+
14 Ngivile kutsi unemoya wabonkulunkulu+ nekutsi unelwati lolunyenti, unekucondza futsi ukhaliphile engcondvweni.+
15 Ngibite tangoma kanye nebantfu labahlakaniphile kutsi bete batewufundza naku lokubhaliwe futsi bangichazele kutsi kusho kutsini, kepha bayehluleka kungichazela.+
16 Kodvwa ngivile kutsi wena uyakhona kuchaza timfihlo+ nekucatulula tinkinga letimatima.* Ngako nangabe ungakhona kufundza loku lokubhaliwe futsi ungichazele kona, utawugcokiswa ingubo lebukhwebeletane, ugatjiswe umgaco weligolide entsanyeni, futsi utawuba ngumbusi wesitsatfu embusweni.”+
17 Danyela wabese utsi enkhosini: “Letipho takho ungatigcina nobe utinikete labanye bantfu. Kepha mine ngitakufundzela loku lokubhaliwe futsi ngikuchazele kona.
18 Awu nkhosi, Nkulunkulu Losetikwako Konkhe waniketa babe wakho Nebukhadnezari umbuso, ludvumo, kuhlonipheka kanye nebukhatikhati.+
19 Ngenca yeludvumo lebekamnike lona, bonkhe bantfu, tive kanye nabo bonkhe lebebakhuluma tilwimi letehlukahlukene bebamesaba kakhulu.+ Nakutsi akabulale umuntfu bekavele ambulale, nakutsi akamyekele bekamyekela, nakutsi akamphakamise bekamphakamisa, futsi nakutsi akamtfobise bekamtfobisa.+
20 Kodvwa watsi nasekacala kutikhukhumeta, asacala nekuba nenkhani leyamenta wagcine sekatigcabha,+ wabese sewuyehliswa esihlalweni sakhe sebukhosi futsi wemukwa nesitfunti sakhe.
21 Wacoshwa emkhatsini webantfu, inhlitiyo yakhe yashintjwa yaba yesilwane futsi wahlala netimbongolo tesiganga. Wadla tjani njengetinkunzi, wamantiswa ngematolo asezulwini, kwaze kwaba ngulapho sekati kutsi Nkulunkulu Losetikwako Konkhe uneligunya leliphakeme etikwemibuso yebantfu, nekutsi bukhosi ubunika nobe ngubani lafuna kumnika.+
22 “Kodvwa wena Bhelshasari, wena ndvodzana* yakhe, awukatitfobi ngisho nobe bewukwati konkhe loku.
23 Esikhundleni saloko, uyivukele iNkhosi yasemazulwini,+ futsi utsite akuletfwe tindzebe tasendlini yayo.+ Wena netindvuna takho, nemaphovela akho kanye nalabanye bafati bakho nibese ninatsela kuto liwayini futsi nadvumisa bonkulunkulu labakhiwe ngeligolide nangelisiliva, ngelitfusi, ngensimbi, ngelugodvo nangelitje, lokubonkulunkulu labangaboni, labangeva, futsi labangati lutfo.+ Awuzange umkhatimulise Nkulunkulu lonemandla ekulawula kuphila kwakho+ kanye nato tonkhe tintfo lotentako.
24 Ngako nguye lolotfumele lesandla lesifike sabhala lamavi.+
25 Nguloku-ke lokubhaliwe: MENE, MENE, THEKELI, PHARISINI.
26 “Nayi-ke inchazelo yalamavi: MENE usho kutsi Nkulunkulu sewuwabalile emalanga embuso wakho futsi sewaphelile.+
27 “THEKELI usho kutsi Nkulunkulu ukukalile etikalini, wakutfola ulula kakhulu.*
28 “PHERES usho kutsi Nkulunkulu uwehlukanisile umbuso wakho, wawunika emaMediya nemaPheresiya.”+
29 Ngemuva kwaloko, Bhelshasari watsi akugcokiswe Danyela ingubo lebukhwebeletane, agatjiswe nemgaco weligolide entsanyeni futsi benta njengobe inkhosi beyishito; bamemetela nekutsi utawuba ngumbusi wesitsatfu embusweni.+
30 Bhelshasari inkhosi yemaKhaledi wabulawa ngabo lobo busuku.+
31 Dariyusi+ longumMediya watsatsa umbuso; futsi abeneminyaka lengaba ngu-62 budzala.
