Daniyeli 8
1Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kwenkosi uBelishasari, kwabonakala kimi kuDaniyeli wami umbono emva kwalowo owabonakala kimi kuqala.
2Ngasengibona embonweni; ngabona, ngiseShushani endlini yenkosi esesifundeni sase-Elamu; ngabona embonweni, ngasemfuleni i-Ulayi.
3Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona; bheka, kwakumi phambi komfula inqama enezimpondo ezimbili; izimpondo ezimbili zaziphakeme; kodwa enye yayiphakeme kunomunye, futhi ephakemeyo yaphuma ekugcineni.
4Ngabona inqama iqhubukusha entshonalanga, nasenyakatho, naseningizimu; kangangokuthi kwakungekho silwane esingema phambi kwakhe, futhi kwakungekho muntu owayengasindisa esandleni sakhe; kodwa wenza njengentando yakhe futhi wakhula.
5Kwathi ngisakucabanga lokhu, kwafika impongo evela entshonalanga emhlabeni wonke, ayizange ithinte umhlabathi; impongo yayinophondo olumangalisayo phakathi kwamehlo ayo.
6Yafika enqameni enezimpondo ezimbili engazibona imi phambi komfula, yagijimela kuyo ngokufutheka kwamandla ayo.
7Ngayibona isondela enqameni, yayisaba, yayishaya inqama, yazaphula izimpondo zayo ezimbili; kwakungekho mandla enqameni okuma phambi kwayo, kepha yaziphonsa enqameni. Wayihlaba wayinyathela, akwabakho ongayisindisa inqama esandleni sayo.
8Impongo yakhula kakhulu, kwathi lapho isinamandla, lwaphuka uphondo olukhulu; kwasekuvela ezine ezimangalisayo ngemva kwemimoya emine yezulu.
9Kolunye lwazo kwaphuma uphondo oluncane, olwakhula lwaba lukhulu kakhulu, eningizimu, nasempumalanga, nasezweni elimnandi.
10Yaba nkulu kwaze kwaba sebandleni lasezulwini; yalahla phansi enye yebandla nezinye zezinkanyezi, yakunyathela.
11Yebo, yaziphakamisa enduneni yebutho, yasuswa kuye umnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, nendawo yendlu yayo engcwele yaphonswa phansi.
12Ibutho lanikwa kuye kanye nomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke ngenxa yesiphambeko, lawisa iqiniso phansi; futhi lwenza, lwaba nempumelelo.
13Ngase ngizwa ongcwele ekhuluma, nomunye ongcwele ethi kulowo owakhulumayo: “Koze kube nini umbono ongowemihlatshelo yemihla ngemihla nesiphambeko sencithakalo, ukunikelwa kwendlu engcwele nebutho ukunyathelwa phansi abe?
14Wathi kimi: Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indawo engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa.
15Lapho mina, mina Daniyeli, ngibona umbono, ngafuna incazelo, bheka, kwakumi phambi kwami kungathi ukubonakala komuntu.
16Ngase ngizwa izwi lomuntu phakathi kwezingu-ma zase-Ulayi limemeza lithi: “Gabriyeli, lo muntu mawuqonde umbono.”
17Wayesesondela lapho ngangimi khona, lapho efika, ngesaba, ngawa ngobuso; kodwa wathi kimi: Qonda, ndodana yomuntu, ngoba kuzakuba khona isikhathi sokuphela.
18Esakhuluma nami, ngase ngilele ubuthongo obunzima, ubuso bami bubheke phansi, kepha wangithinta, wangimisa.
19Wathi: “Bheka, ngiyakunazisa okuyakuba khona ekupheleni kolaka, ngokuba ukuphela kuyakuba ngesikhathi esimisiweyo.”
20Inqama oyibonile enezimpondo ezimbili ingamakhosi aseMediya nasePheresiya.
21Lempongo iyinkosi yaseGrisi, nophondo olukhulu oluphakathi kwamehlo ayo yinkosi yokuqala.
22Njengoba seliqhekeziwe, kwavela ezine phambi kwalo, kuyakuvela imibuso emine esizweni, kodwa ingenamandla ayo.
23Futhi ngesikhathi sokugcina sombuso wabo, lapho iziphambeko sezifinyelele isiphambeko esigcwele, inkosi iyosukuma enobuso obunonya nemisho emnyama ehlakaniphile.
24Amandla ayo ayakuba namandla, kepha kungabi ngamandla ayo; futhi uyobhubhisa ngokumangalisayo futhi aphumelele futhi enze futhi abhubhise anamandla nabantu abangcwele.
25Futhi futhi ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe uyokwenza ubuciko obusesandleni sakhe buphumelele; futhi iyozikhulisa enhliziyweni yayo futhi ibhubhise abaningi ngokuthula; kodwa uyakwaphulwa kungengasandla.
26Umbono wokuhlwa nokusa okukhulunyiweyo uqinisile; ngoba kuzakuba yinsuku ezinengi.
27Futhi mina, Daniyeli, ngahluleka, ngagula izinsuku ezithile; emva kwalokho ngasukuma ngenza umsebenzi wenkosi; futhi ngamangala ngalowo mbono, kodwa akekho owawuqondayo.
