5 Nangu cingati Daniele tabwelele ku calo ca Yuda pamo na baYuda bashelepo, alyangilweko nga nshi ku fyalecitika mu calo cakwe icatemwikwa. Imbila Daniele alepokelela yamulengele ukwishiba ukuti ifintu tafyali bwino kulya. Icipailo cali nacikuulwa cipya cipya ne ca kukuulapo itempele cali nacibikwa mu Yerusalemu. (Esra, icipandwa 3) Lelo ifyalo fyapalamine ku Yerusalemu tafyalefwaya ukuti bakuule, kabili fyaikalile fye ukupangila ububi abaYuda babwelele. (Esra 4:1-5) Napamo Daniele alisakamikwe bwangu pali ifi fintu ifingi.

Cimoneka kwati yapwile pa “bushiku ubwalengele amakumi yabili na shine [24] ku [mweshi, NW] wa cimo.” (Daniele 10:4) E ico, iciputulwa ca nshita Daniele ashalelya casanshishemo Ica Kucilila, ico balecita pa bushiku bwalenga 14 ubwa mweshi wa ntanshi, Nisani, no mutebeto wa nshiku 7 uwalekonkapo uwa mukate ushatutumuka.

Daniele atile: “Naloseshe icinso candi kuli Shikulu Lesa, ku kufwaila mwi pepo na mu kupaapaata, ndi mu kuleko kulya, na mu lusamu, ne mito.” Yehova ayaswike ipepo lya kwa Daniele ukupitila mu kumutumina malaika Gabriele no bukombe bwamukoseleshe apakalamba. (Daniele 9:3, 21, 22) Bushe Yehova nomba kuti acita icapalako no kupeela Daniele inkosho alefwaisha?
ICIMONWA CA KUTIINYA
9, 10. (a) Daniele ali kwi lintu amwene ici cimonwa? (b) Londololeni ifyo Daniele amwene muli ici cimonwa.
9 Daniele talengelwe nsoni. Akonkanyapo ukutweba ifyacitika nomba, atila: “Nali pa mbali ya mumana ukalamba, e kutila Tigrisi, nainwine amenso yandi, no kumona, moneni umuntu uufwele ifya kolokondwe, na mu musana wakwe mwakakwe lamba lya golde wa ku Ofiri.” (Daniele 10:4, 5) Umumana wa Tigrisi wali e umo uwa mimana ine iyatulile mwi bala lya Edene. (Ukutendeka 2:10-14) Mu cina Persia ca Kale, umumana wa Hidekele waishibikwe nga Tigra, ukwafuma ishiwi lya ciGriki Tigrisi. Icitungu cali pa kati ka uyu mumana no wa Yufrate caleitwa Mesopotamia, ukupilibula “Icalo pa Kati ka Mimana.” Ici cishininkisha icishinka ca kuti ilyo Daniele apokelele ici cimonwa, ali acili mu calo ca Babele, nangu cingati napamo tali mu musumba wa Babele.
10 We cimonwa Daniele apokelele! Te muntu yaweyawe afwile amwene ilyo ainwine amenso. Daniele alondolwele bwino ukuti: “Umubili wakwe waba nga topasi, ne cinso cakwe ngo kumoneka kwa mwele wa nkuba, na menso nge fyenge fya mulilo, na maboko yakwe na makasa yakwe ngo kubeeka kwa mukuba uwapukushika, ne ciunda ca fyebo fyakwe nge ciunda ca cinkupiti.”—Daniele 10:6.

Tatwishibe umulandu ‘ukututuma kukalamba kwawile pali bene, ica kuti bafulumukile ku kufisama.’ E ico, Daniele ashele fye eka pa mbali ya mumana. “Ukumone cimonwa ici cikalamba” kwamutiinishe nga nshi ica kuti atile: “Tamwashele amaka muli ine; ubuntu bwandi bwalilubene, kabili nshashele na maka.”—Daniele 10:7, 8.
12, 13. Finshi filangililwa pa lwa iyi nkombe ku (a) fya kufwala fya iko? (b) mimonekele ya iko?
12 Natubebete sana iyi nkombe ya kusungusha iyatiinishe Daniele muli uyu musango. ‘Afwele ifya kolokondwe, na mu musana wakwe mwakakilwe lamba lya golde wa ku Ofiri.’ Muli Israele wa kale, ilamba lya kwa shimapepo mukalamba, icinkutu, na tumba wa pa cifuba, pamo ne mingila ya bashimapepo bambi, fyalepangwa na kolokondwe wakoswa kabili fyaleyemfiwa na golde. (Ukufuma 28:4-8; 39:27-29) E co ifya kufwala fya iyi nkombe filangilila bumushilo ne cifulo cikalamba yakwata.
13 Daniele alitiinishiwe na ku mimonekele ya iyi nkombe, ukubengeshima kwa mubili wa iko uwapale libwe lya mutengo, ukubeeka kwa cinso ca iko, amenso ya iko ayamwensekesha ayaka ngo mulilo, no kubalabata kwa maboko ya iko aya maka na makasa. Ne shiwi lya iko ilya maka lyaletiinya. Fyonse ifi filangilila bwino ukuti tayali muntunse yaweyawe. Uyu ‘muntu wafwele ifya kolokondwe’ ali ni malaika wakwete icifulo cikalamba, uyo uwalebombela umwa mushilo mwa kwa Yehova, uko afumine no bu bukombe.a
“UMUNTU WATEMWIKWA APAKALAMBA” AKOSHIWA
14. Bwafwilisho nshi Daniele alekabila pa kupokelela ubukombe bwa kwa malaika?
14 Ubukombe ubo malaika wa kwa Yehova aletele Daniele bwali ubwacindama nga nshi kabili ubwapikana. Ilyo Daniele ashilabupokelela, alekabila ubwafwilisho pa kuti ukubombomana no kufulunganishiwa fimutaluke. Cimoneka kwati uyu malaika alishibe pa lwa ici pantu aafwilishe Daniele no kumukoselesha mu kutemwa. Natukutike ifyo Daniele alondolola ifyacitike.
15. Cinshi malaika acitile ku kwaafwa Daniele?
15 “Ilyo naumfwile iciunda ca fyebo fyakwe, naponene mu tulo tukalamba ubukupeme, ne cinso candi pa nshi.” Umwenso no kusakamikwa fifwile fyalengele Daniele ukufwa icipupu. Cinshi malaika acitile ku kumwafwa? Daniele atile: “E lyo ukuboko kwankumishe, no kumfukamika na maboko pa nshi ndetetema.” Uyu malaika abikilepo na mashiwi aya kukoselesha kasesema aya kuti: “We Daniele, we muntu uwatemwikwa apakalamba, umfwishe fyebo ifyo ndesosa kuli iwe, kabili iminino bwiminine; pantu nomba nintumwa kuli iwe.” Ukuboko kwamukumishe na mashiwi ya kusansamusha fyapuupuutwile Daniele. Nangu cingati Daniele ‘aletutuma, aliminine.’—Daniele 10:9-11.
16. (a) Cinshi calangilila ukuti Yehova alaasuka bwangu amapepo ya babomfi bakwe? (b) Mulandu nshi malaika akokwelele ukwisaafwa Daniele? (Sanshenimo umukululo.) (c) Bukombe nshi uyu malaika aletele Daniele?
16 Malaika atile aendeele ukwisakosha Daniele. Atile: “Witiina, we Daniele; pantu ukutula pa bushiku bwa ntanshi ilyo wapeele umutima obe ku kwiluka kabili ku kuipetamika mu kuleko kulya ku cinso ca kwa Lesa obe, fyalyumfwikike ifyebo fyobe, na ine njishiile ifyebo fyobe.” Lyene malaika alondolwele umulandu akokwelele. Atile: “Mboswa wa bufumu bwa Persia ancilingenye inshiku amakumi yabili na bumo [21]; lelo moneni, Mikaele, umo wa muli bamboswa bakasomo, aishile ku kunjafwa, na ine namushile kulya kuli mboswa wa mfumu sha ku Persia.” Ubwafwilisho bwa kwa Mikaele bwalengele uyu malaika ukupwishishisha umulimo wakwe, uwali wa kwisa kuli Daniele no kumweba ubukombe bwapamfishe sana ubwa kuti: “Ninjisa ku kukulenga wiluke icikaponena abantu bobe mu nshiku sha kulekelesha; pantu icimonwa ciciliko inshiku ishingi.”—Daniele 10:12-14.
17, 18. Ni shani fintu Daniele aafwiwe umuku wa cibili, kabili ico camulengele ukucita nshi?
17 Mu cifulo ca kuti Daniele asansamushiwe pe subilo lya kupokelela ubukombe bucincimusha umusango yu, cimoneka kwati ifyo aumfwile fyalimubombomanike. Icalembwa cisosa ukuti: “Ilyo asosele kuli ine ifyebo ifi, nashibile icinso candi pa nshi, no kuswima.” Lelo iyi nkombe malaika yali iyaipekanya ukumwafwilisha mu kutemwa, umuku wa cibili. Daniele atile: “Moneni, uwapalo mwana wa muntu ankumishe pa milomo; na ine nayasamwine akanwa kandi, [no kusosa].”b—Daniele 10:15, 16a.
18 Daniele alikoshiwe lintu malaika amukumishe pa milomo. (Linganyeniko Esaya 6:7.) Daniele ali na maka ya kulondolwela iyi nkombe malaika amafya alepitamo pantu ishiwi nomba lyabwela. Daniele atile: “Mwe shikulu, pa mulandu wa cimonwa ici ukufinauka kwanjikata, kabili nshishele na maka; pantu umubomfi wa kwa shikulu uyu engasosa shani kuli shikulu uyu? Na ine ukutula lilya line tamwaba maka muli ine, no mupu tawashalamo muli ine.”—Daniel 10:16b, 17.
19. Ni shani fintu Daniele aafwiwe umuku wa citatu, kabili cinshi cafuminemo?
19 Daniele taleilishanya nelyo ukufwaya umwa kulesesha. Alelanda fye pa lwa mibele alimo, kabili malaika aliumfwikisha. E ico, umuku wa citatu, Daniele alyafwiwe kuli iyi nkombe malaika. Uyu kasesema atile: ‘Uwaba ngo kumoneka kwa muntu abwekeshepo ukunkumya, kabili alinkoseshe.’ Ilyo yamukumishe ku kumubweseshamo amaka, iyi nkombe yamwebele amashiwi ya kucincimusha aya kuti: “Witiina, we muntu uwatemwikwa apakalamba; umutende ube kuli iwe; kosa, kosa.” Kulya kukumya kwa kutemwa pamo na yalya mashiwi ya kukoselesha e fintu Daniele alekabila. Cinshi cafuminemo? Daniele atile: “Pa kusosa kuli ine nakoshiwa, no kutila, Nabasose bashikulu; pantu mwankosha.” Nomba Daniele ali uwaipekanya ku kubomba umulimo na umbi uwayafya.—Daniele 10:18, 19.
20. Mulandu nshi iyi nkombe malaika yalekabila ukubombesha pa kuti ibombe umulimo wa iko?
20 Pa numa ya kukosha Daniele no kumupuupuutula na mu muntontonkanya, uyu malaika abwekeshepo ukusosa ico aendeele. Atile: “Bushe wishibe ico njishiile kuli iwe? Nomba ndebwelela ku kulwa na mboswa wa ku Persia; ilyo nkafumako, mona, mboswa wa ku Yabani [Greece] akanjishila lelo ndekwebe calembwa mwi lembo lya cishinka; kabili tapali umbi uwa kwiminina pamo na ine pali balya, kano Mikaele mboswa wenu.”—Daniele 10:20, 21.
21, 22. (a) Ku fyacitikile Daniele, finshi twingasambililako pa fyo Yehova abomfya ababomfi bakwe? (b) Daniele nomba akoshiwe ku kucita nshi?
21 Mwandi Yehova aba no kutemwa kabili alalangulukilako! Lyonse abomfya ababomfi bakwe ukulingana na po bengapela. Lubali lumo, abapeela imilimo ukulingana ne fyo aishibe fyo kuti babomba, nangu cingati limo kuti bamona kwati tapali ifyo bengacita.

Shi lyonse tulepashanya Shifwe uwa mu muulu, Yehova, ukupitila mu kukoselesha no kukosha bakapepa banensu mu kubamo ukutemwa.—AbaHebere 10:24.
22 Ubukombe bwa kusansamusha ubwa kwa ulya malaika bwakoseleshe Daniele apakalamba. Te mulandu no bukote, nomba Daniele ali nakoshiwa no kuipekanishisha ukupokelela no kulemba ukusesema na kumbi ukwa kusungusha ku kuleka tumwenemo.
[Amafutunoti]
a Nangu cingati uyu malaika talumbulwa ishina, cimoneka kwati e uyu wine uo ishiwi lyakwe lyaumfwikilwe lileeba Gabriele ukwilwila Daniele icimonwa amwene. (Linganyeniko Daniele 8:2, 15, 16 na 12:7, 8.) Na kabili, Daniele 10:13 ilangilila ukuti Mikaele, “umo wa muli bamboswa bakasomo,” aishileafwa uyu malaika. E ico, uyu malaika ushalumbulwa afwile akwete ishuko lya kubombela pamo sana na Gabriele na Mikaele.
b Nangu cingati malaika umo wine uwalelanda na Daniele nalimo e wamukumishe pa milomo no kumupuupuutula, aya mashiwi pano yalangilila no kuti limbi malaika umbi napamo Gabriele e wacitile ci. Lelo, Daniele alikoshiwe kuli iyi nkombe malaika.

[Akabokoshi pe bula 204, 205]
Bushe ni Bamalaika Abalinda Nelyo Bakateka ba Buciwa?
KUTI twasambililako ifingi ku fyo ibuuku lya kwa Daniele lilanda pali bamalaika. Litweba pa lwa mulimo babomba mu kufishapo icebo ca kwa Yehova ne fyo babombesha ku kupwishishisha umulimo wabo.
Malaika wa kwa Lesa asosele ukuti ilyo aleya ku kulanda kuli Daniele, alicilinganishiwe kuli “mboswa wa bufumu bwa Persia.” Pa numa ya kulwishanya na wene inshiku 21, iyi nkombe malaika yalitwalilile no lwendo lwa iko lintu “Mikaele, umo wa muli bamboswa bakasomo” ayafwile. Uyu malaika asosele no kuti ali no kulwishanya na ulya mulwani na kabili, napamo na “mboswa wa ku Yabani [Greece].” (Daniele 10:13, 20) Tawali mulimo wayanguka, nangu fye ni kuli malaika! Lelo bushe aba bamboswa ba ku Persia na Greece bali ni bani?
Ica ntanshi twamona ukuti Mikaele aitilwe “umo wa muli bamboswa bakasomo,” kabili “mboswa wenu.” Ku ntanshi, Mikaele aitilwe nga “mboswa mukulu uwimininina abantu [ba kwa Daniele].” (Daniele 10:21; 12:1) Ici cilangilila ukuti Mikaele e malaika Yehova atumine ukutungulula abena Israele mu matololo.—Ukufuma 23:20-23; 32:34; 33:2.
Ifyebo umusambi Yuda asosele fikosha ici cishinka. Atile: ‘Mikaele malaika mukalamba, alekansana na Kaseebanya, ilyo alepelulushanisho mubili wa kwa Mose.’ (Yuda 9) Icifulo ca kwa Mikaele, amaka, no bulashi fyamulengele ukuba “imfumu-malaika,” ukupilibula “malaika mukalamba.” Ici cifulo casumbuka kuti cabomba fye kuli Yesu Kristu, Umwana wa kwa Lesa, ilyo ashilaisa pe sonde na pa numa abwelelemo ku muulu.—1 Abena Tesalonika 4:16; Ukusokolola 12:7-9.
Bushe ici cilolele mu kuti Yehova alilaashile bamalaika ukutungulula ifyalo pamo nga Persia na Greece? Yesu Kristu, Umwana wa kwa Lesa tapitile mu mbali, atile: ‘Kateka wa pano isonde takwete kantu nangu kamo muli ine.’ Asosele no kuti: “Ubufumu bwandi te bwa pano isonde . . . ubufumu bwandi te bwa pano nse.” (Yohane 14:30; 18:36) Umutumwa Yohane atile “pano isonde ponse palaala mu maka ya Mubifi.” (1 Yohane 5:19) Cili icaumfwika ukuti ifyalo tafyabala afitungululwapo nelyo ukutekwa kuli Lesa nelyo Kristu kabili na nomba e fyo caba. Nangu cingati Yehova alisuminishe “bakateka abacilamo” ukubapo no kuteka, tasonta bamalaika bakwe ukubatungulula. (Abena Roma 13:1-7) ‘Bamboswa’ abali bonse nelyo “bakateka” pali bene kuti babikwapo fye kuli Satana Kaseebanya “kateka wa pano isonde.” Bafwile ukuba bakateka ba buciwa te bamalaika abalinda. Kanshi, ifiwa fishimoneka e fitungilila bakateka, nelyo ‘bamboswa,’ kabili filaibimbamo na mu kukansana kwa fyalo.
