Ergamaa Teessoo Abbaa Irraa

Torbanoonni sadii gaddaa mul'ata humna Daani'eel fixuun xumuramu. Abbaan isaa guyyaa jalqabaa irraa kaasee dubbii isaa akka dhaga'e, tursiifni sun immoo hamma Mikaa'eel dhufutti qabsoo ilma mootii Faaris wajjin ta'e akka ture itti himama. Si'a lama tuqamee 'kan baay'ee jaallatamte' jedhamee waamama.

Boqonnaa 10.

Bara sadaffaa Qooros mootii Fersiyaa, dubbiin tokko Daaniyeelitti, isa Beeltaasaazar jedhamuutti, mul'ifame; dubbiin sun dhugaa ture, waraana guddaa ilaallata. Innis dubbicha hubate, mul'ata sanaanis hubannaa argate.

Bara sana ani Daaniyeel torban sadii guutuu nan gadda ture. Nyaata mi'aawaa hin nyaanne; foon yookaan daadhii wayinii afaan koo hin tuqne; zayitii tokko illee hin dibadhu, hanga torban sadiin darbutti.

Guyyaa digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa tokkoffaa, ani qarqara lageen guddichaa, Xigiris irra dhaabadhe. Ani ol ilaalee nama uffata quncee uffate tokko nan arge; mudhii isaa irrattis sabbata warqee qulqulluu Uufaaz hidhatee ture. ^a Qaamni isaa dhagaa beeril fakkaata, fuulli isaa balaqqee fakkaata, ijji isaa iddoo ibidda fakkaata, irree fi miilli isaa naasii calaqqisiisame fakkaata; sagaleen dubbii isaas sagalee gara namaa baay'ee dhaadhessu fakkaata.

Ani Daaniyeel qofti mul'ata sana arge; namoonni na wajjin turan hin argine; garuu hollachuun guddaan isaan irra bu'e, isaanis baqatanii of dhoksan. Kanaaf ani kophaa koo hafee mul'ata guddaa kana nan ilaale. Humni tokko illee na keessa hin hafne; bifni koo jijjiirame du'aa fakkaate, humnas hin qabaanne. Yommus dubbii isaa nan dhaga'e; dubbicha dhaga'ee fuula koo gad godhee hirribaa cimaa keessa lafa irratti nan kufe.

Kunoo, harki tokko na tuqe; jilbaa fi irree koo irrattis hollachaa na kaase. Innis naan jedhe, «Yaa Daaniyeel, ati nama baay'ee jaallatamtu, dubbii ani sitti himu hubadhu; ka'ii dhaabadhu, ani amma sitti ergameeraatii.» Innis dubbii kana yommuu natti dubbatu, ani hollachaa ka'ee dhaabadhe.

Innis naan jedhe, «Yaa Daaniyeel, hin sodaatin. Guyyaa jalqabaa irraa kaasee, yeroo ati hubachuuf garaa kee kaa'ee fuula Abbaa keetii dura of gad qabdetti, dubbiin kee dhaga'ame; ani immoo dubbii kee irraa kan ka'e dhufe. Garuu bulchaan mootummaa Fersiyaa guyyaa digdamii tokko natti ba'e; ergasii Mikaa'el, bulchoota gurguddoo keessaa isa tokko, na gargaaruuf dhufe; ani achitti mootota Fersiyaa wajjin hafeeraatii. ^b Ani akka ati dhimma saba kee bara dhufu keessatti ta'u hubattuuf sin gargaaruu dhufe; mul'anni sun bara fuuldura jiruuf ti.»

Innis dubbii kana natti yommuu dubbatu, ani fuula koo gara lafaatti garagalchee, dubbachuu hin dandeenye. Yommus isa fakkaattii ilma namaa kan tokko faaruu koo tuqe. Anis afaan koo banee dubbachuu jalqabe; isa fuula koo dura dhaabatu sanaan akkana nan jedhe, «Yaa gooftaa koo, mul'ata sanaan dhiphinni na qabeera, humni tokko illee naaf hin hafne. Ani garbichi kee, yaa gooftaa koo, akkamitti si wajjin dubbachuu danda'a? Amma humni tokko illee na keessa hin hafne, hafuurri illee naaf hin hafne.»

Ammas isa nama fakkaatu sun na tuqee na jabeesse. Innis akkana jedhe, «Yaa nama jaallatamaa, hin sodaatin. Nagaan siif haa ta'u; jabaadhu, jabaadhu!» Dubbiin isaa na jabeesse; anis, «Yaa gooftaa koo, dubbadhu; ati na jabeessiteeraatii» nan jedhe.

Innis akkana jedhe, «Ani maaliif sitti dhufe beektaa? Amma ani bulchaa Fersiyaa wajjin lolu deebi'a; yommuu ani ba'u, bulchaan Giriik in dhufa. Garuu duraan waan Kitaaba Dhugaa keessatti barreeffame sitti hima: Mikaa'el, bulchaa kee malee, isaan irratti ana wajjin cimsee kan dhaabatu tokko illee hin jiru.»
