uDaniyeli uDaniyeli 6 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uDaniyeli nomhadi wengonyama

1Kwakholeka kuDariyo ukunyula iirhuluneli ezilikhulu elinamanci mabini, ukuba zibe nokulawula kubo bonke ubukumkani.

2Malunga nabongameli aba bathathu; awathi uDaniyeli waba ngowokuqala kubo, ukuze abathetheli babaphendule, angaphathwa bububi ukumkani.

3Waza lo Daniyeli wakhethwa ukuba alawule iintloko neenkosana, ngenxa yokuba umoya wawumlungele; ukumkani wacinga ukumenza umphathi kubo bonke ubukumkani.

4Ngoku iinkokeli nabathetheli bafuna ukufumana isizathu ngakuDaniyeli malunga nobukumkani; kwaye ababona siphoso; ngokuba ebethembekile, akufunyanwanga tyala natyala kuye.

5Aza athi la madoda, Asiyi kufumana nalinye ithuba ngakulo Daniyeli, ukuba asilifumananga kuye ngenxa yomthetho woThixo wakhe.

6Bahlanganisana abo bathetheli nabaziirhuluneli kukumkani, bathi kuye, Kumkani Dariyo, phila ngonaphakade!

7Bonke abaphathi bobukumkani, namabamba, nabathetheli, nabacebisi, namabamba, bacebisana ukuba bawumise umthetho wakomkhulu, benze isigqibo esimisiweyo sokuba nabani na ocela isicelo kuThixo nokuba nguwuphi na, makacele into kuye iintsuku ezimashumi mathathu, kodwa wena, kumkani, uya kuphoswa emhadini weengonyama.

8Ke kaloku, kumkani, khupha umyalelo uze uwutyobele uxwebhu, ukuze lungaguquki, ngokomthetho wamaMedi namaPersi, ongaguqukiyo.

9Ngoko ukumkani uDariyo wayibhala loo ncwadi nomthetho.

10Weva uDaniyeli ukuba incwadi leyo ibisayinwe, wangena endlwini yakhe; iifestile zegumbi lakhe zivuliwe, zikhangele eYerusalem, waguqa ngamadolo kathathu ngemini, ethandaza, ebulela kuThixo wakhe, njengoko ebesenza ngaphambili.

11Ahlanganisana ke la madoda, amfumana uDaniyeli ethandaza, etarhuzisa phambi koThixo wakhe.

12Basondela, bathetha kukumkani ngelizwi lokumkani; Akuwubhalanga na umthetho wokuba bonke abasukuba becela into kuThixo nakuwuphi na umntu, ngeentsuku ezimashumi mathathu, ingenguwe kumkani, aphoswe emhadini weengonyama? Waphendula ukumkani, wathi, Loo nto iyinyaniso, ngokomthetho wamaMedi namaPersi, ongaguqukiyo.

13Aza aphendula athi phambi kokumkani, uDaniyeli, ongomnye wabathinjwa bakwaYuda, akakuphulaphulanga, kumkani, nomthetho owumisileyo; ke ucela isicelo sakhe kathathu ngemini.

14Wathi ukumkani akuweva loo mazwi, wabandezeleka kunene, wayibhekisa intliziyo yakhe kuDaniyeli ukuba amhlangule; wazama ukumhlangula de kwatshona ilanga.

15Aza la madoda eza edlongozela kukumkani, athi kukumkani, kumkani, yazi ukuba amaMedi namaPersi anomthetho wokuba kungaguqulwangamthetho kakumkani;

16Watsho ke ukumkani; bamzisa uDaniyeli, bamjulela emhadini wengonyama. uYehova wathetha kuDaniyeli, wathi, uThixo wakho, ombusa ngamaxesha onke, wokusindisa.

17Kwaziswa ilitye, labekwa emnyango womhadi; ukumkani wayiqinisa ngomsesane wakhe wokutywina, nangomsesane wokutywina wabathetheli bakhe; ukuze icebo likaDaniyeli lingaguquki.

18Waza ukumkani waya ebhotweni lakhe, wachitha ubusuku ezila ukudla; yaye akuzange kubekho lizwi phambi kwakhe, waza waphelelwa bubuthongo.

19Waza ukumkani wavuka kwakusasa, wangxamela ukuya emhadini weengonyama.

20Yathi yakufika emhadini, yakhala kuDaniyeli; Waphendula ukumkani, wathi kuDaniyeli, Daniyeli, mkhonzi woThixo ophilileyo, uThixo wakho, ombusa ngamaxesha onke, ube nako na ukuhlangula ezingonyameni?

21Wathi ke uDaniyeli kukumkani, Nkosi, phila ngonaphakade!

22uThixo wam uthumele ingelosi yakhe, yayivala imilomo yeengonyama, ukuze zingandenzi, ngenxa yokuba phambi kwakhe kufunyenwe ndimsulwa; Andenzanga bubi phambi kwakho, kumkani.

23Ukumkani wavuya kunene ngakuye, wathi makamkhuphe uDaniyeli emhadini. Wakhutshwa ke uDaniyeli emhadini, akwafunyanwa nanye into embi kuye, ngokuba ebekholwe kuThixo wakhe.

24Ukumkani wayalela ukuba aziswe amadoda lawo ayemangalele uDaniyeli, aza aphoswa emhadini weengonyama, wona nabantwana bawo, nabafazi bawo; zababamba iingonyama, zawaphula onke amathambo abo, nokuba baye kufika nasezantsi emhadini.

25Waza uDariyo ukumkani wabhalela kuzo zonke izizwe, neentlanga zonke, neelwimi zonke ezibe zisehlabathini lonke; Uxolo malube nani.

26Ndikhupha umyalelo wokuba bonke abantu abakurhulumente wonke wobukumkani bam bangcangcazele baze boyike phambi koThixo kaDaniyeli, ngenxa yokuba unguThixo ophilayo ozinzileyo de kube sekupheleni kwexesha, yaye ‘ubukumkani bakhe abuyi kuba bume utshatyalalisiwe, yaye ubukumkani bakhe buya kwanela kude kubezekupheleni.

27Ulohlangula, usindisa, wenza imiqondiso nezimanga emazulwini nasehlabathini; wamhlangula uDaniyeli emandleni eengonyama.

28Lo Daniyeli waba nempumelelo ebukumkanini bukaDariyo nasebukumkanini bukaKoreshi umPersi.
