uDaniyeli uDaniyeli 10 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Isithunywa sezulu esabonakala kuDaniyeli

1Ngomnyaka wesithathu kaKoreshi ukumkani wasePersi, wabonakalaliswa uDaniyeli, ogama linguBheletshatsare; loo mbandela wawuyinyaniso, kodwa ixesha elimisiweyo lalide; wakuqonda oko, wawuqonda umbono.

2Ngaloo mihla mna, Daniyeli, ndalila iiveki ezintathu.

3Andisidlanga sonka sinencasa, kungekho nyama nawayini emlonyeni wam, andizithambisanga, zada zazaliseka iiveki ezintathu.

4Ngomhla wamashumi omabini anesine wenyanga yokuqala, bendiselunxwemeni lomlambo omkhulu oyiHidekele;

5Ndaphakamisa amehlo am ndaza ndabona indoda eyambethe ilinen, ebotshwe esinqeni ngegolide esulungekileyo yaseUfasi.

6Umzimba wayo wawunjengoboya begusha, ubuso bayo bunjengombane, ukubonakala kwayo, namehlo ayo enjengezikhuni ezitshangazayo, izandla zayo neenyawo zayo zinjengobhedu olumibalabala, nesandi samazwi ayo ngathi sisandi sesihlwele.

7Mna, Daniyeli, ndawubona ndedwa umbono lowo, ngenxa yokuba amadoda abenam engawubonanga umbono; kwabakho iindudumo ezinkulu phezu kwabo, basaba baya kuzimela.

8Mna ndasala ndedwa, ndawubona umbono lowo mkhulu, ndaphelelwa ngamandla;

9Ndeva ke isandi samazwi akhe, ndasiva isandi samazwi akhe, ndabiwa bubuthongo obunzulu, ubuso bam bubheke phantsi.

10Ndabona isandla sindichukumisa, sandimisa emadolweni am nasezandleni zam;

11Yathi kum, Daniyeli, ndodandini, waqonde amazwi endiwathetha kuwe, ume nkqo, ngokuba ndithunywe kuwe ngoku. Uthe akutsho ndaphakama ndingcangcazela.

12Yathi kum, Musa ukoyika, Daniyeli, ngenxa yokuba kususela kumhla wokuqala wanikela intliziyo yakho ekuqondeni nasekuqeqesheni phambi koThixo wakho, waweva amazwi akho;

13Ke umthetheli wobukumkani bamaPersi wandimelana nam imihla emashumi mabini anamnye; uyabona, uMikayeli, omnye wakubathetheli abaziintloko, weza kundinceda; yaye ndandilapho nookumkani basePersi.

14Ndize kukwazisa okuya kubahlela abantu bakowenu ekupheleni kwemihla; ngenxa yokuba lo mbono ngowemihla emininzi.

15Ithe ekuthetheni kwayo nam, ndabubhekisa ubuso bam emhlabeni, ndasisidenge.

16Nanko onjengoonyana babantu, echukumisa umlomo wam; Ndawuvula umlomo wam, ndathetha, ndathi kobemi phambi kwam, Camagu, nkosi yam, emehlweni am inimba yam yandongamela, ndaphelelwa ngamandla.

17Angathini na ke ukuthetha umkhonzi wenkosi yam enkosini yam? ngenxa yokuba mna, ngoko nangoko amandla awazange aphelele kum, yaye kwakungasekho moya kum.

18Wabuya ke omnye, wandichukumisa njengomntu, wandomeleza.

19Wathi, Musa ukoyika, sithandwa sam; Uxolo malube nani, yomelelani, ewe, yomelelani. Wathi ekuthetheni kwakhe nam, ndazomeleza, ndathi, Makathethe ukumkani wam; ngokuba undomelezile.

20Wathi, Uyazi na into endize ngayo kuwe? ngoku ke ndiya kubuya ndiye kulwa neNkosana yasePersi; ndakugqiba, yabona, iNkosana yaseGrisi isiza.

21Kodwa ndiya kunibonisa okubhalwe kwiZibhalo eziyinyaniso; akukho bani undixolelayo kwezo zinto, ngaphandle kukaMikayeli, inkosana yenu.
