Daniyeli 11 Inkosi yaseningizimu

¹ Futhi ngema ngomnyaka wokuqala kaDariyu umMede ukuba ngimqinise, ngimqinise.

² Manje ngizokutshela iqiniso. Bheka, kusayakuvela amakhosi amathathu ePheresiya; futhi owesine uyoceba kakhulu kunabo bonke, futhi ngamandla ayo ngengcebo yakhe uyovusa bonke bamelene nombuso waseGrisi.

³ Futhi kuyovela inkosi enamandla, eyobusa ngegunya elikhulu futhi yenze ngokwentando yayo.

⁴ Lapho isisukuma, umbuso wayo uyakwaphulwa, uhlukaniselwe emimoyeni yomine yezulu; futhi hhayi inzalo yakhe noma ngokombuso wakhe ayebusa phezu kwawo; ngoba umbuso wayo uzahlwithwa, labanye ngaphandle kwabo.

⁵ Inkosi yaseningizimu iyakuba namandla, nesinye sezikhulu zayo; uyakuba namandla phezu kwakhe, abuse; ukubusa kwakhe kuyoba ukubusa okukhulu.

⁶ Futhi ekupheleni kweminyaka bayobutha; ngoba indodakazi yenkosi yaseningizimu iyakuza enkosini yasenyakatho ukwenza isivumelwano; kepha akayikuwagcina amandla ompofu; futhi yena ngeke ame, noma ingalo yakhe, kodwa uyonikelwa, futhi labo abamlethayo nabamzalayo, futhi lowo owamqinisa ngalezi zikhathi.

⁷ Kodwa egatsheni lezimpande zawo kuyovela omunye ezweni lakubo, oyofika nebutho lempi, angene enqabeni yenkosi yaseNyakatho, abhekane nabo futhi anqobe.

⁸ Futhi bayoletha ekuthunjweni onkulunkulu babo, kanye nezikhulu zabo kanye nezitsha zabo eziyigugu zesiliva nezegolide, eGibhithe; futhi uzohlala isikhathi eside kunenkosi yasenyakatho.

⁹ Ngakho inkosi yaseningizimu iyakungena embusweni wayo, ibuyele ezweni layo.

¹⁰ Kodwa amadodana akhe ayovuswa futhi abuthele ndawonye isixuku samabutho amakhulu; omunye ngokuqinisekile uyofika futhi akhukhule akhukhule; khona-ke uyobuya futhi afike enqabeni yakhe ematasa.

¹¹ Inkosi yaseningizimu iyakuzonda, iphume, ilwe nayo, inkosi yasenyakatho; futhi iyovusa isixuku esikhulu; kepha isixuku siyakunikelwa esandleni sakhe.

¹² Futhi uma Esusa isixuku, inhliziyo yakhe iyophakama; uyakuwisa amashumi ezinkulungwane eziningi, kepha ngalokho akayikuziqinisa.

¹³ Ngokuba inkosi yaseNyakatho iyakubuya, ibuthe isixuku esikhulu kunesokuqala, futhi ngokuqinisekile iyofika ngemva kweminyaka ethile inempi enkulu nengcebo eningi.

¹⁴ Ngalezo zikhathi abaningi bayovukela inkosi yaseNingizimu; futhi abaphangi babantu bakho bayoziphakamisa ukuze baqinisekise umbono; kodwa bayakuwa.

¹⁵ Ngalokho inkosi yasenyakatho iyakufika, iphakamise intaba, ithathe imizi ebiyelweyo kakhulu;

¹⁶ Kodwa lowo oza ngokumelene naye uyokwenza njengentando yakhe, futhi akekho oyokuma phambi kwakhe; futhi uyokuma ezweni elikhazimulayo eliyoqedwa ngesandla sakhe.

¹⁷ Iyakubhekisa ubuso bayo ukungena ngamandla ombuso wayo wonke, nabaqotho kanye nayo; uyakwenza njalo: uyakumnika indodakazi yabesifazane, ayichithe; kodwa ngeke ame ngakuyo futhi angabi ngakuye.

¹⁸ Ngemva kwalokho uyophendulela ubuso bakhe eziqhingini futhi athathe eziningi; ngaphandle kwesihlamba sakhe uyakusiphendulela kuye.

¹⁹ Khona-ke uyophendulela ubuso bakhe enqabeni yezwe lakhe, kodwa uyokhubeka awe, angatholakali.

²⁰ Epalini yakhe kuyakuvela ukwanda kwentela enkazimulweni yombuso; kodwa ngezinsuku ezimbalwa izabhujiswa, kungabi ngolaka kumbe ngempi.

²¹ Empahleni yakhe kuyakuvela umuntu odelelayo, abangayikumnika udumo lombuso; kodwa uyongena ngokuthula futhi azuze ubukhosi ngokuthopha.

²² Futhi ngezingalo zikazamcolo bayakukhungatheka, baphuke phambi kobuso bakhe; yebo, nombusi wesivumelwano.

²³ Futhi ngemva kokwenza isivumelwano naye, uyosebenza ngobuqili, ngoba uyokhuphuka futhi abe namandla kanye nesizwe esincane.

²⁴ Uyakungena ngokuthula ezindaweni ezivundile zesifunda; futhi kumelwe enze lokho okhokho bakhe noyise abangazange bakwenze; impango nempango nengcebo uyakukuhlakaza phakathi kwabo; yebo, futhi uyokhipha amacebo akhe ngokumelene nezinqaba, yebo, okwesikhashana.

²⁵ Uyakuvusa amandla akhe nesibindi sakhe enkosini yaseningizimu ngempi enkulu; inkosi yaseningizimu iyakuvuswa ukulwa nempi enkulu kakhulu nenamandla; kodwa ngeke abe khona, ngoba bayobikezela amacebo ngokumelene naye.

²⁶ Yebo, labo abadla isabelo sokudla kwakhe bayoyibhubhisa, futhi impi yayo iyokhukhulwa, futhi abaningi bayowa bebulewe.

²⁷ Futhi izinhliziyo zalawa makhosi omabili ziyoba ukwenza okubi, futhi bayokhuluma amanga etafuleni elilodwa; kodwa ngeke kube nempumelelo, ngoba nokho ukuphela kuyoba ngesikhathi esimisiwe.

²⁸ Iyakubuyela ezweni layo nengcebo enkulu; futhi inhliziyo yakhe iyomelana nesivumelwano esingcwele; futhi iyokwenza izenzo futhi ibuyele ezweni layo.

²⁹ Ngesikhathi esimisiwe kumelwe abuyele emuva futhi eze eningizimu; kodwa kakuyikuba njengokuqala kumbe okokugcina.

³⁰ Ngokuba imikhumbi yaseKitimi iyakufika kuye; ngakho-ke uyoba lusizi futhi abuye futhi athukuthelele isivumelwano esingcwele; kanjalo uzokwenza; uyobuya futhi abe nokuqonda nabashiya isivumelwano esingcwele.

³¹ Futhi izikhali ziyokuma eceleni kwakhe, futhi ziyongcolisa indlu engcwele yamandla, futhi zisuse umhlatshelo wezinsuku zonke, futhi ziyomisa isinengiso esenza incithakalo.

³² Futhi labo abenza okubi ngokumelene nesivumelwano, uyobabhubhisa ngokuthopha; kepha abantu abamaziyo uNkulunkulu wabo bayakuba namandla, benze izenzo.

³³ Abahlakaniphileyo phakathi kwezizwe bayofundisa abaningi, kodwa bayokuwa izinsuku eziningi ngenkemba, nangelangabi, nangokuthunjwa nangokuphanga.

³⁴ Futhi uma bewa, bayothathwa ngosizo oluncane, kodwa abaningi bayobalandela ngokuthopha.

³⁵ Abanye kwabahlakaniphileyo bayakuwa ukubavivinya, abahlambulule, abenze mhlophe kuze kube yisikhathi sokuphela, ngokuba kusengokwesikhathi esimisiweyo.

³⁶ Futhi inkosi kumelwe yenze ngokwentando yayo; iyoziphakamisa, izikhulise phezu kwabo bonke onkulunkulu, ikhulume izimangaliso ngoNkulunkulu wawonkulunkulu, ibe nempumelelo, kuze kuphele ulaka; ngoba okumisiweyo kuzokwenzeka.

³⁷ Ayiyikunakekela uNkulunkulu wawoyise, inganaki isifiso sabesifazane nanoma yimuphi unkulunkulu; ngoba iyozikhulisa ngaphezu kwakho konke.

³⁸ Kepha empahleni yayo iyodumisa uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, nonkulunkulu oyise ababengamazi, iyomdumisa ngegolide, nangesiliva, nangamatshe anqabileyo, nangezinto ezithandekayo.

³⁹ Iyakwenza kanjalo ezinqabeni ngonkulunkulu wabezizwe, abayomazi, andise ngenkazimulo; futhi iyobenza babuse phezu kwabaningi futhi ihlukanise izwe libe yinzuzo.

⁴⁰ “Ngesikhathi sokuphela inkosi yaseningizimu iyoyihlasela, inkosi yasenyakatho ihlangabezane nayo njengesivunguvungu, inezinqola, nabamahhashi, nangemikhumbi eminingi; futhi iyongena emazweni futhi ikhukhule idlule.

⁴¹ Futhi iyongena ezweni elikhazimulayo, futhi amazwe amaningi ayochithwa; kodwa bayophunyuka esandleni sakhe, u-Edomi noMowabi nezikhulu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

⁴² Futhi uyokwelulela isandla sakhe emazweni, futhi izwe laseGibhithe ngeke liphunyuke.

⁴³ Kodwa iyoba namandla phezu kwengcebo yegolide nesiliva naphezu kwazo zonke izinto eziyigugu zaseGibhithe, futhi amaLibhiya namaKushe ayolandela ezinyathelweni zayo.

⁴⁴ Kodwa izindaba ezivela empumalanga nasenyakatho ziyomethusa; ngakho-ke iyohamba ngokufutheka okukhulu ukuze ibhubhise abaningi futhi ishaye ngesiqalekiso.

⁴⁵ Iyakutshala izindlwana zendlu yayo phakathi kolwandle entabeni engcwele yenkazimulo; nokho iyofika ekupheleni kwayo, futhi akekho oyoyisiza.
