Isithunywa Esivela Esihlalweni Sobukhosi SikaBaba Wethu
Amasonto amathathu okulila aphela ngombono ophuca uDaniyeli wonke amandla. Utshelwa ukuthi uBaba wakhe wawezwa amazwi akhe ngosuku lokuqala, nokuthi ukulibala kwakungumzabalazo nesikhulu sasePheresiya kwaze kwafika uMikayeli. Uthintwa kabili futhi ubizwa ngothandekayo kakhulu.
10 1Ngonyaka wesithathu kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya, kwembulwa izwi kuDaniyeli, obizwa ngokuthi uBeliteshazari—liyiqiniso, limayelana nempi enkulu. Walizwisisa, wathola ukuqonda embonweni.
2Ngalezo zinsuku mina Daniyeli ngangililela amaviki amathathu agcwele. 3Angidlanga kudla kumnandi; inyama newayini akuthintanga umlomo wami; angizange ngisebenzise amafutha nhlobo, kwaze kwadlula amaviki amathathu.
4Ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yokuqala, ngangimi osebeni lomfula omkhulu—iThigrisi. 5Ngaphakamisa amehlo ngabona indoda yembethe ilineni, ibhande legolide elicolekileyo lase-Ufazi likhungwe okhalweni lwayo. a a v5 Lesi simo esikhanyayo esembethe ilineni sichazwa ngokufana kakhulu noJesu ovukileyo encwadini yeSambulo 1, futhi abaningi ebandleni baye bababona laba ababili njengomuntu munye. 6Umzimba wayo wawunjengebherile, ubuso bayo bunjengombani, amehlo ayo enjengezibani zomlilo, izingalo nemilenze yayo kunjengethusi elilolongiweyo, nomsindo wamazwi ayo unjengesixuku esihlokomayo.
7Mina Daniyeli ngedwa ngawubona umbono; amadoda engangikanye nawo awuwubonanga, kodwa ukuthuthumela okukhulu kwawehlela, abaleka acasha. 8Ngasala ngedwa, ngawubona lo mbono omkhulu. Akusalanga mandla kimi; ubuso bami baphenduka buphaphathekile njengofileyo, angibe ngisaba namandla. 9Ngase ngizwa amazwi ayo, kwathi ngisawezwa, ngawa ngobuso phansi emhlabathini, ngazumeka ngubuthongo obunzima.
10Ngokuzumayo isandla sangithinta, sangenza ngathuthumela ngisekelwe izandla namadolo ami. 11Yathi kimi: “Daniyeli, ndoda ethandeka kakhulu, qonda amazwi engiwakhuluma kuwe; sukuma, ngokuba sengithunyiwe kuwe.” Kwathi iseliphimisile leli zwi kimi, ngasukuma ngithuthumela.
12Yathi kimi: “Ungesabi, Daniyeli. Kusukela ngosuku lokuqala owabeka ngalo inhliziyo yakho ukuba uqonde, wazithoba phambi kukaBaba wakho, amazwi akho ezwakala, ngeza ngenxa yamazwi akho. 13Kodwa isikhulu sombuso wasePheresiya samelana nami izinsuku ezingamashumi amabili nanye; kwase kufika uMikayeli, omunye wezikhulu eziyinhloko, ukungisiza, ngokuba ngangisele lapho namakhosi asePheresiya. b b v13 Lezi “zikhulu” ziyizidalwa zezingelosi—uMikayeli uyingelosi enkulu eyinhloko eqaphela abantu bakaDaniyeli, kanti “isikhulu sasePheresiya” ingamandla omoya anobutha angemuva kombuso wasemhlabeni. 14Ngize ukukusiza ukuba uqonde ikusasa labantu bakho ezinsukwini ezizayo, ngokuba umbono umayelana nezinsuku ezisesezayo.”
15Kwathi iwakhuluma la mazwi kimi, ngabhekisa ubuso bami emhlabathini, ngehluleka ukukhuluma. 16Kwase kuthi othile onjengomuntu wathinta izindebe zami. Ngavula umlomo wami ngaqala ukukhuluma. Ngathi kulowo owayemi phambi kwami: “Nkosi yami, umbono ungigcwalise ngobuhlungu, kangisaba namandla. 17Pho, ngingakhuluma kanjani mina nceku yakho nawe, nkosi yami? Akusekho mandla kimi manje, akusekho mphefumulo osele.”
18Waphinda lowo owayebukeka njengomuntu wangithinta wangiqinisa. 19Wathi: “Ungesabi, wena othandekayo. Ukuthula makube kuwe; qina, qina!” Amazwi akhe angiqinisa, ngathi: “Khuluma, nkosi yami, ngokuba ungiqinisile.”
20Wathi: “Uyazi na ukuthi ngizeleni kuwe? Manje ngiyabuyela ukuyolwa nesikhulu sasePheresiya; bese kuthi lapho ngimuka, kufike isikhulu saseGrisi. 21Kodwa kuqala ngizakutshela okulotshiweyo eNcwadini Yeqiniso: akekho omi ngokuqinileyo nami ekumelaneni nabo ngaphandle kukaMikayeli, isikhulu sakho.”
