Umbono waDanyela wesihhanca nesiphongo

1 Ngemnyaka wesitsatfu wekubusa kwenkhosi Bhelshasari, mine Danyela ngabona umbono, ngemvakwalowo lowase ubonakele kimi. 2Embonweni wami ngatibona mine ngisenqabeni yaseSusa esifundzeni sase-Elamu; kulombono ngangiseceleni kwemfula, i-Ulayi. 3Ngatsi ngiphakamisa emehlo, ngabona embikwami kunesihhanca sinetimphondvo letimbili, sime eceleni kwalomfula, letimphondvo tatitindze. Lolunye lwaletimphondvo lwaluludze kunalolu lolunye, kodvwa lwamila kamuva. 4Ngasibuka lesihhanca sisahlasela sibheke ngasenshonalanga, nangasenyakatfo, nangaseningizimu. Kute ngisho nasinye silwane lesasingemelana naso, kute nalokwakungalanyulelwa emandleni aso, sasijangaza nje senta lesikutsandzako, saze saba sikhulu kakhulu.

5Ngatsi ngisacabanga ngaloku, kwachamuka siphongo sineluphondvo lolugcamile emkhatsini wemehlo aso, sachamuka ngasenshonalanga sadzabula wonkhe umhlaba, sagijima singakaze sawutsintsa umhlabatsi. 6Sasondzela ngakulesihhanca lesinetimphondvo letimbili lengangisibone sime eceleni kwemfula, sasukela lesihhanca sasishishimeta ngelulaka lolumatima kabi. 7Ngasibona sihlasela lesihhanca kabuhlungu kabi, sagadla lesihhanca safohlota letimphondvo taso letimbili. Lesihhanca sona sasingenamandla ekutivikela kulesiphongo, lesiphongo sasihlaba sasijika phansi, sasigcobagcoba ngemasondvo aso, kwabate ngisho namunye labengasilamlela lesihhanca emandleni alesiphongo. 8Lesiphongo satikhukhumukisa saba sikhulu kakhulu, kodvwa kwatsi lapho sesinemandla, lwephuka loluphondvo lwaso lolukhulu, kwatsi esikhundleni salo kwamila timphondvo letine letigcamile, takhula taya etulu emimoyeni yomine yelizulu.

9 Kwatsi kulolunye lwato kwamila lolunye luphondvo, lolwacala luluncane, kodvwa lwakhula ngemandla kuya ngaseningizimu, nangasemphumalanga, nangaseveni lelihle. 10 Lwakhula lwadzimate lwefikela nasemabutfweni lasemazulwini, lwajikijela phansi emhlabeni letinye tetinkhanyeti, lwatigcobagcoba. 11 Lwatikhulisa lona kutsi lube lukhulu lube ngangembusi walamabutfo, lwasusa imihlatjelo yemalanga onkhe kuye, nendzawo yakhe lengcwele yehliselwa phansi. 12Ngenca yebuphekula, libandla lalabangcwele nemihlatjelo yemalanga onkhe kwaniketelwa kulo. Lwachubeka lwaba nemphumelelo kuko konkhe lolwalukwenta, liciniso lase lidzicelwa phansi emhlabatsini.

13Ngase ngiva longcwele akhuluma, nalomunye longcwele wakhuluma kuye, watsi: “Kutawutsatsa sikhatsi lesidze kangakanani kuze kugcwaliseke lombono, umbono lomacondzana nemihlatjelo yemalanga onkhe nalobuphekula lobubanga incitsakalo, namacondzana nekunikelwa kwendzawo lengcwele nekwelibutfo lasezulwini lelitawugcotjwagcotjwa ngetinyawo?”

14Watsi kimi: “Kuyawutsatsa tikhatsi tekuhlwa netekusa letiti-2 300. Ngulapho-ke lithempeli liyawuhlanjululwa kabusha khona.”

Ingilosi Gabriyeli ichaza umbono

15Ngatsi mine Danyela ngisabukisisa umbono, ngetama kuwuvisisa kahle, ngabona sekume embikwami lokwakunjengemuntfu ngesimo. 16Ngeva livi lemuntfu lichamuka ngase-Ulayi limemeta litsi: “Gabriyeli, tjela lomuntfu inchazelo yalombono.”

17Watsi asasondzela kulendzawo lapho ngangime khona, ngesaba kakhulu ngawa phansi ngebuso. Watsi kimi: “Ndvodzana yemuntfu, visisa kahle kutsi lombono umacondzana nesikhatsi sekugcina.”

18 Watsi asakhuluma nami, ngabe sengikulobukhulu butfongo, buso bami bubheke phansi. Wase uyangitsintsa ngesandla, wangisukumisa, ngema ngetinyawo tami.

19Watsi: “Ngitakutjela kutsi kutakwentekani kamuva, ngesikhatsi selulaka, ngobe lombono umacondzana nesikhatsi sekugcina lesimisiwe. 20Lesihhanca losibonile lesinetimphondvo letimbili, simele emakhosi aseMediya newasePheresiya. 21Lesiyephuyephu sesiphongo siyinkhosi yaseGrisi, naloluphondvo lolukhulukati lolusemkhatsini wemehlo aso, yinkhosi yekucala. 22Letimphondvo letine letamila esikhundleni salolwa lolwephulwa, timele imibuso lemine leyawuvela kuleso sive, kodvwa ingeke ibe nemandla lafananako.

23“Kuyawutsi ngasekupheleni kwekubusa kwayo, lapho buphekula sebubunyenti ngalokuphelele, kuyawuvela inkhosi lenebuso lobulukhuni, inkhosi yemanga yekwakha emacebo. 24Iyawuba nemandla kakhulu, kodvwa hhayi ngekwemandla ayo. Iyawukwenta umonakalo lowesabekako, iphumelele kuko konkhe leyikwentako. Iyawubhubhisa emadvodza lanemandla lamakhulu nesive lesingcwele. 25Iyawuphumelelisa lokungemanga, ititsatse ngekutsi yona ingulongetulu. Bayawutsi nasebativela kutsi bavikelekile, ibabhubhise linyenti labo, imelane nembusi webaphatsi. Noko yona iyawubhujiswa, kodvwa hhayi ngemandla ebantfu.

26“Lombono wemihlatjelo yasebusuku neyasekuseni lowukhonjisiwe uliciniso, kodvwa uwugcine usifuba sakho, ngobe wona umacondzana netikhatsi tekugcina.”

27Mine Danyela ngaphela emandla, ngalala ngigula emalanga lamanyenti. Ngase ngiyavuka ngachubeka nemsebenti wenkhosi. Ngangimangaliswe ngulombono, futsi wawungetulu kwengcondvo yemuntfu.
