Daniyeli 2 UDaniyeli uchaza iphupho likaNebukadinesari

¹ Ngomnyaka wesibili wokubusa kukaNebukadinesari uNebukadinesari waphupha amaphupho, umoya wakhe waphazamiseka, nobuthongo bakhe bameqa.

² Inkosi yasilaya ukuthi kubizwe izanusi labathakathi labathakathi lamaKhaladiya ukuze bamtshele inkosi amaphupho ayo. Bafike bema phambi kwenkosi.

³ Inkosi yasisithi kubo: Ngiphuphe iphupho; umoya wami wakhathazeka ukuze ngilazi iphupho.

⁴ AmaKaledi aseSiriya akhuluma enkosini, wathi: “Nkosi, phila kuze kube phakade; tshela izinceku zakho iphupho, thina siyakwembula incazelo.

⁵ Inkosi yaphendula, yathi kumaKaledi: “Indaba isuke kimi; uma ningangazisi iphupho nencazo yalo, niyakunqunywa, izindlu zenu zenziwe iquba.

⁶ Kepha uma nembula iphupho nencazo yalo, niyakwamukela izipho nemivuzo nodumo olukhulu kimi; ngalokho mangazise iphupho nencazo yalo.

⁷ Base bephendula futhi, bathi: “Inkosi mayitshele izinceku zayo iphupho, thina siyakwazisa incazelo yalo.”

⁸ Inkosi yasiphendula yathi: Ngiyazi ukuthi lizazuza isikhathi, ngoba liyabona ukuthi ilizwi lisukile kimi.

⁹ Kepha uma ningangazisi iphupho, munye kuphela umyalo kini; besengitshela iphupho, ngizakwazi ukuthi lingangitshela ingcazelo yalo.

¹⁰ AmaKaledi aphendula phambi kwenkosi, athi: “Akukho muntu emhlabeni ongatshela indaba yenkosi;

¹¹ Futhi kuyivelakancane into efunwa yinkosi, futhi akekho omunye ongayibonisa phambi kwenkosi, ngaphandle konkulunkulu abakhaya labo lingekho nenyama.

¹² Ngakho inkosi yathukuthela, yathukuthela kakhulu, yasilaya ukuthi kubhujiswe bonke abahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni.

¹³ Kwaphuma umyalo wokuthi abahlakaniphileyo babulawe; bafuna uDaniyeli nabangane bakhe ukuba babulawe.

¹⁴ UDaniyeli wayesephendula ngeseluleko nangokuhlakanipha ku-Ariyogi induna yabalindi benkosi owayephumele ukubulala abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele.

¹⁵ Wasephendula wathi kuAriyogi induna yenkosi: Kungani ilizwi lenkosi liphangisa kangaka? Khona-ke u-Ariyogi wembula le ndaba kuDaniyeli.

¹⁶ Khona-ke uDaniyeli wangena wacela enkosini ukuba imnike isikhathi nokuba abonise incazelo enkosini.

¹⁷ Khona-ke uDaniyeli waya endlini yakhe wabikela abangane bakhe uHananiya, uMishayeli no-Azariya le ndaba.

¹⁸ Ukuze bacele umusa kuNkulunkulu wezulu ngale mfihlakalo; ukuze uDaniyeli nabangane bakhe bangabhubhi kanye nabanye abahlakaniphileyo baseBhabhiloni.

¹⁹ Khona-ke imfihlo yembulwa kuDaniyeli ngombono wasebusuku. UDaniyeli wasembonga uNkulunkulu wezulu.

²⁰ UDaniyeli waphendula wathi: “Malibongwe igama likaNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade naphakade, ngokuba ukuhlakanipha namandla kungokwakhe.

²¹ Uyaguqula izikhathi nezikhathi; ususa amakhosi, abeke amakhosi; Unika abahlakaniphileyo ukuhlakanipha nolwazi kwabakwaziyo ukuqonda.

²² Wembula okujulileyo nokufihliweyo: uyakwazi okusebumnyameni, nokukhanya kuhlala kuye.

²³ Ngiyakubonga, ngiyakudumisa, Nkulunkulu wawobaba, owangipha ukuhlakanipha namandla, wangazisa lokho ebesikucela kuwe, ngokuba ususazisile manje indaba yenkosi.

²⁴ Ngakho uDaniyeli wangena ku-Ariyogi owayemiswe inkosi ukuba abhubhise abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele; wahamba, wathi kuye: “Ungabhubhisi abahlakaniphileyo baseBabele; ngiyise enkosini, ngitshele inkosi incazelo.

²⁵ Khona-ke u-Ariyogi washesha wamyisa uDaniyeli phambi kwenkosi, wathi kuyo: “Ngithole umuntu eziboshwa zakwaJuda ozotshela inkosi incazelo.

²⁶ Inkosi yaphendula, yathi kuDaniyeli ogama lakhe lalinguBeliteshasari: “Ungangazisa yini iphupho engilibonile kanye nencazelo yalo na?”

²⁷ UDaniyeli waphendula phambi kwenkosi, wathi: “Imfihlakalo inkosi eyibuzayo, nabahlakaniphileyo, nabathakathi, nabathakathi, nabahlola imihlola, abanakwazise inkosi;

²⁸ Kodwa kukhona uNkulunkulu ezulwini owambula izimfihlo futhi uyazisa inkosi uNebhukhadinezari okuzakwenzeka ekupheleni kwezinsuku. Leli yiphupho lakho nobuso bekhanda lakho embhedeni wakho;

²⁹ Wena-ke, nkosi, imicabango yakho yafika engqondweni yakho embhedeni wakho okuzakwenzeka emva kwalokho; futhi owembula izimfihlo uyakwazisa kuwe okuzokwenzeka.

³⁰ Kodwa mina, le mfihlo angembulelwanga ngenxa yokuhlakanipha enginakho kunabo bonke abaphilayo, kodwa ngenxa yalabo abayakwazisa inkosi incazelo, futhi wazi imicabango yenhliziyo yakho.

³¹ Wena, nkosi, wabona, futhi bheka, kwakukhona isithombe esikhulu. Lesi sithombe esikhulu, ukubengezela kwaso kwakukuhle, sasimi phambi kwakho; nokuma kwayo kwakukubi.

³² Ikhanda lalesi sithombe laliyigolide elihle, isifuba saso nezingalo zaso kuyisiliva, isisu saso nezinkalo zaso kuyithusi;

³³ imilenze yakhe iyinsimbi, izinyawo zakhe inxenye ziyinsimbi nenxenye yobumba.

³⁴ Wabona kwaze kwaqheshulwa itshe kungengazandla, lashaya isithombe ezinyaweni zaso, esiyinsimbi nobumba, lasiphahlaza laba yizicucu.

³⁵ Khona-ke insimbi, nobumba, nethusi, nesiliva, negolide kwachotshozwa kanyekanye, kwaba njengamakhoba ezibuya zasehlobo; umoya wazisusa, akwaze kwatholakala indawo yazo, netshe elashaya isithombe laba yintaba enkulu, lagcwalisa umhlaba wonke.

³⁶ Nali iphupho; siyakuchaza incazelo yalo phambi kwenkosi.

³⁷ Wena, nkosi, uyinkosi yamakhosi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wezulu ukunikile umbuso, namandla, namandla, nenkazimulo.

³⁸ Nomaphi lapho kuhlala khona abantwana babantu, izilwane zasendle nezinyoni zezulu, wakunikela esandleni sakho, wakumisa ube ngumbusi phezu kwakho konke. Wena uyikhanda legolide.

³⁹ Emva kwakho kuyakuvela omunye umbuso omncane kunawe, nomunye umbuso wesithathu wethusi oyakubusa emhlabeni wonke.

⁴⁰ Umbuso wesine uyakuba namandla njengensimbi, ngokuba insimbi iphahlaza, ithobe konke; futhi njengensimbi ewuqhekeza wonke, uyophuka futhi uphahlaze.

⁴¹ Wabona izinyawo nezinzwani, inxenye ilubumba lombumbi nenxenye iyinsimbi, umbuso uyakuhlukana phakathi; kepha kuyakuba khona amandla ensimbi, ngokuba wabona insimbi ixubene nodaka lodaka.

⁴² Njengalokhu amazwane ezinyawo ayeyingxenye yensimbi nengxenye yobumba, kanjalo umbuso uyakuba namandla nganxanye, uphukeke nganxanye.

⁴³ Futhi lapho wabona insimbi ixubene nobumba lobumba, bayozixuba nenzalo yabantu; kodwa ngeke zinamathele ndawonye, njengoba nje insimbi ingaxutshwa nobumba.

⁴⁴ Futhi ezinsukwini zala makhosi uNkulunkulu wezulu uyovusa umbuso ongayikuchithwa phakade; umbuso awuyikushiyelwa kwabanye abantu, kepha uyakuphahlaza, uqede yonke le mibuso, wona uqobo ume phakade.

⁴⁵ Ngokuba wabona ukuthi itshe laqheshulwa entabeni kungengazandla, laphahlaza insimbi, nethusi, nobumba, nesiliva, negolide; uNkulunkulu omkhulu wayazisa inkosi okuzakwenzeka emva kwalokho; iphupho laliqinisekile, nencazelo yalo iqinisekile.

⁴⁶ Inkosi uNebukadinesari yawa ngobuso, yakhuleka kuDaniyeli, yayala ukuba balethe kuye umnikelo womlilo namakha amnandi.

⁴⁷ Inkosi yamphendula uDaniyeli, yathi: “Kuyiqiniso ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu wawonkulunkulu, neNkosi yamakhosi, nomambuli wezimfihlakalo, lokhu wena ukwazile ukwambula le mfihlakalo;

⁴⁸ Inkosi yasimphakamisa uDaniyeli, yamupha izipho ezinkulu ezinengi, yammisa waba ngumbusi phezu kwesifunda sonke saseBhabhiloni lenduna yababusi phezu kwabo bonke abahlakaniphileyo beBhabhiloni.

⁴⁹ UDaniyeli wayeseyicela enkosini, yabeka oShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abhedinego phezu kwezindaba zesifunda saseBabele; kodwa uDaniyeli wayehlezi esangweni lenkosi.
