Daniyeli 8

¹ Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwenkosi uBelishasari, kwabonakala kimi kuDaniyeli wami umbono emva kwalowo owabonakala kimi kuqala.

² Ngasengibona embonweni; ngabona, ngiseShushani endlini yenkosi esesifundeni sase-Elamu; ngabona embonweni, ngasemfuleni i-Ulayi.

³ Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona; bheka, kwakumi phambi komfula inqama enezimpondo ezimbili; izimpondo ezimbili zaziphakeme; kodwa enye yayiphakeme kunomunye, futhi ephakemeyo yaphuma ekugcineni.

⁴ Ngabona inqama iqhubukusha entshonalanga, nasenyakatho, naseningizimu; kangangokuthi kwakungekho silwane esingema phambi kwakhe, futhi kwakungekho muntu owayengasindisa esandleni sakhe; kodwa wenza njengentando yakhe futhi wakhula.

⁵ Kwathi ngisakucabanga lokhu, kwafika impongo evela entshonalanga emhlabeni wonke, ayizange ithinte umhlabathi; impongo yayinophondo olumangalisayo phakathi kwamehlo ayo.

⁶ Yafika enqameni enezimpondo ezimbili engazibona imi phambi komfula, yagijimela kuyo ngokufutheka kwamandla ayo.

⁷ Ngayibona isondela enqameni, yayisaba, yayishaya inqama, yazaphula izimpondo zayo ezimbili; kwakungekho mandla enqameni okuma phambi kwayo, kepha yaziphonsa enqameni. Wayihlaba wayinyathela, akwabakho ongayisindisa inqama esandleni sayo.

⁸ Impongo yakhula kakhulu, kwathi lapho isinamandla, lwaphuka uphondo olukhulu; kwasekuvela ezine ezimangalisayo ngemva kwemimoya emine yezulu.

⁹ Kolunye lwazo kwaphuma uphondo oluncane, olwakhula lwaba lukhulu kakhulu, eningizimu, nasempumalanga, nasezweni elimnandi.

¹⁰ Yaba nkulu kwaze kwaba sebandleni lasezulwini; yalahla phansi enye yebandla nezinye zezinkanyezi, yakunyathela.

¹¹ Yebo, yaziphakamisa enduneni yebutho, yasuswa kuye umnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, nendawo yendlu yayo engcwele yaphonswa phansi.

¹² Ibutho lanikwa kuye kanye nomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke ngenxa yesiphambeko, lawisa iqiniso phansi; futhi lwenza, lwaba nempumelelo.

¹³ Ngase ngizwa ongcwele ekhuluma, nomunye ongcwele ethi kulowo owakhulumayo: “Koze kube nini umbono ongowemihlatshelo yemihla ngemihla nesiphambeko sencithakalo, ukunikelwa kwendlu engcwele nebutho ukunyathelwa phansi abe?

¹⁴ Wathi kimi: Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indawo engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa.

¹⁵ Lapho mina, mina Daniyeli, ngibona umbono, ngafuna incazelo, bheka, kwakumi phambi kwami kungathi ukubonakala komuntu.

¹⁶ Ngase ngizwa izwi lomuntu phakathi kwezingu-ma zase-Ulayi limemeza lithi: “Gabriyeli, lo muntu mawuqonde umbono.”

¹⁷ Wayesesondela lapho ngangimi khona, lapho efika, ngesaba, ngawa ngobuso; kodwa wathi kimi: Qonda, ndodana yomuntu, ngoba kuzakuba khona isikhathi sokuphela.

¹⁸ Esakhuluma nami, ngase ngilele ubuthongo obunzima, ubuso bami bubheke phansi, kepha wangithinta, wangimisa.

¹⁹ Wathi: “Bheka, ngiyakunazisa okuyakuba khona ekupheleni kolaka, ngokuba ukuphela kuyakuba ngesikhathi esimisiweyo.”

²⁰ Inqama oyibonile enezimpondo ezimbili ingamakhosi aseMediya nasePheresiya.

²¹ Lempongo iyinkosi yaseGrisi, nophondo olukhulu oluphakathi kwamehlo ayo yinkosi yokuqala.

²² Njengoba seliqhekeziwe, kwavela ezine phambi kwalo, kuyakuvela imibuso emine esizweni, kodwa ingenamandla ayo.

²³ Futhi ngesikhathi sokugcina sombuso wabo, lapho iziphambeko sezifinyelele isiphambeko esigcwele, inkosi iyosukuma enobuso obunonya nemisho emnyama ehlakaniphile.

²⁴ Amandla ayo ayakuba namandla, kepha kungabi ngamandla ayo; futhi uyobhubhisa ngokumangalisayo futhi aphumelele futhi enze futhi abhubhise anamandla nabantu abangcwele.

²⁵ Futhi futhi ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe uyokwenza ubuciko obusesandleni sakhe buphumelele; futhi iyozikhulisa enhliziyweni yayo futhi ibhubhise abaningi ngokuthula; kodwa uyakwaphulwa kungengasandla.

²⁶ Umbono wokuhlwa nokusa okukhulunyiweyo uqinisile; ngoba kuzakuba yinsuku ezinengi.

²⁷ Futhi mina, Daniyeli, ngahluleka, ngagula izinsuku ezithile; emva kwalokho ngasukuma ngenza umsebenzi wenkosi; futhi ngamangala ngalowo mbono, kodwa akekho owawuqondayo.
