Danyela 10:1-21
10 Ngemnyaka wesitsatfu wekubusa kweNkhosi Khuresi+ yasePheresiya, Danyela lobekabitwa ngekutsi nguBhelteshasari+ wembulelwa lokutsite; lomlayeto lawutfola bewuliciniso futsi bewumayelana nemphi lenkhulu. Wawucondza lomlayeto futsi wasitwa nekutsi akucondze loku labekubonile.
2 Ngaleso sikhatsi, besekuphele emaviki lamatsatfu mine Danyela solo ngilila.+
3 Bengingatidli tibiliboco, ngingayidli inyama, ngingalinatsi neliwayini, futsi kwaphela emaviki lamatsatfu solo umtimba wami ngingawugcobisi ngemafutsa.
4 Ngelilanga lesi-24 enyangeni yekucala, ngesikhatsi ngiselusentseni lwemfula lomkhulu iThigrisi,*+
5 ngatsi ngiyabuka ngabona indvodza legcoke timphahla telineni+ futsi elukhalo beyibophe libhande lelentiwe ngeligolide lase-Ufazi.
6 Umtimba wayo bewufana nekhrisolithe,+ buso bayo bebukhanya njengembane, emehlo ayo abefana netibane letivutsako, imikhono yayo netinyawo tayo betifana nelitfusi lelicwebetelako,+ futsi livi layo belivakala ngatsi ngumsindvo wesicumbi sebantfu.
7 Ngimi kuphela mine Danyela lowabona lombono; lamadvodza lebengikanye nawo awazange awubone.+ Kodvwa esaba kakhulu aze abaleka ayobhaca.
8 Ngagcine ngisele ngedvwa, futsi ngesikhatsi ngibona lombono lomangalisako, ngaphelelwa ngemandla ngaze ngashintja ngisho nasebusweni, ngacobeka wonkhe umtimba.+
9 Ngemuva kwaloko ngeva lendvodza ikhuluma; kodvwa yatsi isakhuluma, ngafikelwa butfongo lobukhulu ngalala buso bami butsintse emhlabatsini.+
10 Kwatsi kusenjalo kwaba khona sandla lesingitsintsako+ futsi sanginyakatisa, ngako ngavuka ngasima ngemadvolo nangetandla.
11 Lendvodza yabese itsi kimi:
“Awu Danyela, ndvodza leligugu kakhulu,*+ nakisisa lamavi lengitakutjela wona. Sukuma ume ngetinyawo, ngobe Nkulunkulu ungitfume kuwe.”
Yatsi nayisho njalo, ngasukuma ngichachatela.
12 Ngemuva kwaloko yatsi kimi: “Ungesabi+ Danyela, ngobe kusukela ngelilanga lowacala ngalo kutimisela kutsi ucondze letintfo futsi utitfobe kuNkulunkulu wakho, yena wawuva umthantazo wakho, kungako sengite lapha kuwe.+
13 Kepha sikhulu+ sembuso wasePheresiya samelana nami emalanga langu-21. Kodvwa Mikhayeli,*+ longulesinye setikhulu letihamba embili,* weta kutongisita. Ngaleso sikhatsi bengisolo ngilapho, eceleni kwemakhosi asePheresiya.
14 Manje-ke sengitele kutokusita kutsi ucondze loko lokutawehlela bantfu bakini emalangeni ekugcina,+ ngobe lombono umayelana netintfo letitawenteka esikhatsini lesitako.”+
15 Yatsi naseyikushito konkhe loku, ngabheka phansi futsi ngangasakhoni nekukhuluma.
16 Ngemuva kwaloko, lotsite lonjengemuntfu watsintsa tindzebe temlomo wami,+ ngabese ngiyakhona kukhuluma futsi ngatsi kulona lobekeme embikwami: “Nkhosi, lombono uyangesabisa, sengize ngite ngisho nemandla.+
17 Mine nceku yakho, ngingakhona njani kukhuluma nawe nkhosi yami?+ Angisenamandla, futsi angisakhoni nekuphefumula.”+
18 Lona lonjengemuntfu waphindze wangitsintsa futsi wangicinisa.+
19 Wabese utsi kimi: “Ungesabi+ ndvodza leligugu kakhulu.*+ Shengatsi ungaba nekuthula.+ Cina ube nemandla.” Njengobe abechubeka akhuluma nami, ngativa senginemandla futsi ngatsi kuye: “Khuluma nkhosi yami ngobe sewungente ngaba nemandla.”
20 Wabese utsi: “Uyati yini kutsi ngiteleni lapha kuwe? Nyalo ngitawubuyela emuva ngiyokulwa nesikhulu sasePheresiya.+ Ngitawutsi nangisuka, kufike sikhulu saseGrisi.
21 Kodvwa-ke ngitakutjela tintfo letibhalwe encwadzini yeliciniso. Kute ngisho namunye longilekelelako kuloku ngaphandle kwaMikhayeli+ sikhulu senu.”+
