1uNebhukadenetsare kumkani, ndizibhalele zonke izizwe, neentlanga zonke, neelwimi zonke ezimiyo ehlabathini; Uxolo malube nani. 2Ndabona ukuba kulungile kum ukwenza imisebenzi ebalulekileyo, nezimanga, awazenzayo uThixo Osenyangweni. 3Hayi, ukuba mkhulu kwemiqondiso yakhe! Hayi indlela enamandla ngayo imimangaliso yakhe! Ubukumkani bakhe bubukumkani bamaphakade onke, nolawulo lwakhe lukwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. 4Mna, Nebhukadenetsare, ndandiphumle endlwini yam yaye ndinempumelelo kwibhotwe lam. 5Ndabona iphupha, landoyikisa, ndaneengcinga esililini sam, nobuso obusentloko, bandoyikisa. 6Ndathi ke, maziziswe phambi kwam zonke izilumko zaseBhabheli, ukuba zindityhilele ukutyhilwa kwephupha elo. 7Beza ke amatola, namatola, namaKaledi, namatola, ndabaxelela iphupha; kodwa abazange bandazise ngengcaciso yayo. 8Ekugqibeleni wangena phambi kwam uDaniyeli, ogama linguBheleshatsare, ngokwegama lothixo wam, onomoya woothixo abangcwele; ndamxelela iphupha elo, ndathi. 9Wena Bheleshatsare, sivumisi, ekubeni ndiyazi ukuba umoya woothixo abangcwele unawe yaye akukho mfihlelo ikukhathazayo, ndixelele imibono yephupha lam endilibonileyo nokutyhilwa kwalo. 10Ubuso bentloko yam bunjengobuso bam esililini sam; Ndajonga ndabona umthi usesazulwini somhlaba, umde kakhulu. 11Wakhula loo mthi, womelela, ukuphakama kwawo kwafikelela emazulwini, ubuso bawo bafikelela esiphelweni sehlabathi lonke. 12Amagqabi awo ebemahle, neziqhamo zawo bezizininzi; bekukho ukudla kweento zonke; amarhamncwa elizwe abe emthunzini phantsi kwawo, neentaka zezulu zahlala emasebeni awo, yadla kuwo yonke inyama. 13Ndabona emibonweni yentloko yam, ndisesililini sam, nanko kusihla umlindi ongowengcwele emazulwini; 14Wadanduluka kakhulu, wathi, Wugawuleni lo mthi, niwagawule amasebe awo, niwaqhawule amagqabi awo, nizichithachithe iziqhamo zawo; Makuphume phantsi kwawo amarhamncwa, neentaka emasebeni awo. 15Kodwa sishiyeni isiqu seengcambu zawo emhlabeni, sibotshelelwe ngeqhina lentsimbi nobhedu, kwingca ethambileyo yelizwe; sinyakamiswe ngumbethe wezulu, sibe yinxalenye yezilo zomhlaba. 16Intliziyo yakhe mayibe yeyomntu, anikwe intliziyo yenkomo; wambetha kasixhenxe. 17Le nto ihamba ngokwesiko labalindi, nangosiko lwezwi labangcwele, ukuze bazi abaphilileyo, ukuba Osenyangweni unobukumkani obuphezu kwezikumkani zabantu, abunike lowo athanda ukubumisa; kwaye ukhethe yena ngaphezu kwayo amadoda aphantsi. 18Mna, kumkani Nebhukadenetsare, ndalibona eli phupha. Ke kaloku, wena Bheleshatsare, ndixelele ingcaciso yayo, ngenxa yokuba zonke izilumko zobukumkani bam azinako ukundixelela loo ngcaciso; kodwa unako; ngokuba unomoya woothixo abangcwele. 19Waza uDaniyeli, ogama libizwa ngokuba nguBheletsatsare, waphazamiseka umzuzwana omnye, zamothusa izicamango zakhe. Wathi ukumkani, Bheleshatsare, musa ukuyixhalela iphupha, nokutyhilwa kwalo; uBheleshatsare waphendula wathi, Nkosi yam, iphupha lisingisele kwabakuthiyileyo, nokutyhilwa kwalo likuzo iintshaba zakho. 20Umthi owubonileyo, owakhulayo womelela, okuphakama kwawo kwafikelelayo ezulwini, obuso bafika ehlabathini lonke; 21omagqabi abemahle, neziqhamo zawo bezizininzi, kwaye kukho ukudla komntu wonke; ezahlala phantsi kwawo amarhamncwa, neentaka zezulu zahlala emasebeni awo. 22Nguwe, kumkani, oye wakhula waza womelela, ngenxa yokuba ubukhulu bakho banda bafikelela emazulwini nolawulo lwakho lwesa eziphelweni zomhlaba. 23Kwaye ukumkani wabona umlindi nabathembekileyo besihla bevela ezulwini waza wathi: Gawulani umthi nize niwutshabalalise; sishiye isiqu seengcambu zawo emhlabeni, senziwe iziko lesinyithi, nobhedu, engceni ethambileyo yelizwe; sinyakamiswe ngumbethe wezulu, sibe yinxalenye yezilo zelizwe, kude kudlule amaxesha amisiweyo asixhenxe; 24Yiyo le ingcaciso, kumkani, nomyalelo wOsenyangweni, omfikeleyo ukumkani wam: 25baya kukugxotha phakathi kwabantu, indlu yakho ibe namarhamncwa, badle utyani njengeenkomo, bakuseze ngombethe wezulu, kudlule amaxesha amisiweyo asixhenxe de yazi ukuba iNkokeli Ephakamileyo inorhulumente kurhulumente wabantu, kwaye eso sipho ifuna ukumnika yona. 26Kwaye ngenxa yokuba babeyalela ukuba isiqu seengcambu zomthi masishiywe simile; Ubukumkani bakho buya kuqiniselwa kuwe, wakwazi ukuba amazulu anegunya. 27Ngako oko, nkosi yam, icebo lam malikholeke kuwe, uzitshabalalise izono zakho ngobulungisa, nobugwenxa bakho ngokubabaza abaziintsizana; ukuba ingaba kukwandiswa kokuthula kwakho. 28Konke oko kwamfikela ukumkani uNebhukadenetsare. 29Ekupheleni kweenyanga ezilishumi elinambini, waya endlwini yobukumkani baseBhabheli. 30Waphendula ukumkani wathi, Le asiyiyo na iBhabheli enkulu, endiyakhayo ngamandla am amakhulu, nangobuqaqawuli bobungangamsha bam, ukuba ibe likomkhulu? 31Lakuba lisekho elo lizwi emlonyeni wokumkani, kwavakala ilizwi ezulwini lisithi: “Wena uxelelwe, kumkani Nebhukadenetsare; Ubukumkani bukushiyile. 32Baya kukugxotha phakathi kwezizwe, uhlale phakathi kwezilwanyana zelizwe; baya kukudlisa utyani njengeenkomo, kudlule amaxesha amisiweyo asixhenxe, ude wazi ukuba iNgangalala inobukumkani ebukumkanini babantu, imnike lowo imthandayo. 33Kwathi ngelo lixa ilizwi likaNebhukadenetsare wagxothwa ebantwini, wadla utyani njengeenkomo, umzimba wakhe wanyakanyiswa ngumbethe wezulu, zada iinwele zakhe zakhula, zanjengeentsiba, zanjengexhalanga neenzipho zalo iintaka iintsapho. 34Ekupheleni kwaloo mihla, mna Nebhukadenetsare ndawaphakamisela ezulwini amehlo am, ingqondo yam yabuyela kwakum, Osenyangweni ndamzukisa, ndamzukisa lowo uhleli ngonaphakade, obukumkani bubukumkani obungunaphakade ubukumkani bakhe bukwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. 35Baye bonke abemi behlabathi bebalelwe ekubeni yinto engento; kwaye wenza ngokwentando yakhe amabhunga ezulu naphakathi kwabemi bomhlaba; akukho bani unokusithintela isandla sakhe, athi kuye, Wenza ntoni na? 36Kwaoko intliziyo yam yabuyela kwakum; ubuqaqawuli bam nobuqaqawuli bam babuyela kum ebuqaqawulini bobukumkani bam; zandifuna abacebisi bam nezikhulu zam; ndaza ndaqiniselwa ebukumkanini bam, ndaza ndongezwa ngobuqaqawuli obugqithisileyo. 37Kwaye, mna, Nebhukadenetsare, ndiyayincoma, ndiyidumisa, ndiyizukisa iNkosi yamazulu, ozenzo zakhe ziyinyaniso zonke, ozindlela zakhe zigwebayo; kwaye unokubathoba abo bahamba ngekratshi.
