12 “Ngaleso sikhatsi, kutawuvela* Mikhayeli,*+ losikhulu lesikhulu+ lesisita bantfu bakini.* Kutawuba nesikhatsi sekucindzeteleka lesingazange sesibe khona kusukela kwacala kuba khona sive kuze kube nguleso sikhatsi. Ngaleso sikhatsi, bonkhe bantfu bakini lokutawutfolakala emabito abo abhaliwe encwadzini yaNkulunkulu* batawusindza.+ 2 Bantfu labanyenti labafile* batawuvuka, labanye bavukele ekuphileni lokuphakadze kantsi labanye bavukele ehlazweni laphakadze.
3 “Labo labanekucondza batawukhanya njengekukhanya kwesibhakabhaka, futsi labo labasita bantfu labanyenti kutsi babe ngulabalungile, batawukhanya njengetinkhanyeti kuze kube phakadze naphakadze.
4 “Kodvwa wena Danyela, wagcine ayimfihlo lamavi futsi uvale lencwadzi kuze kube sikhatsi sekugcina.+ Labanyenti batayihlolisisa lencwadzi* futsi lwati lweliciniso lutawuba lunyenti.”+
5 Ngemuva kwaloko, mine Danyela ngatsi ngiyabuka ngabona labanye lababili beme embikwami, lomunye bekeme ngala elusentseni lwemfula kantsi lomunye bekeme kulololunye lusentse.+ 6 Lomunye wabo wakhuluma nalona lobekagcoke timphahla telineni+ futsi lobekeme etikwalomfula watsi: “Kutawutsatsa sikhatsi lesingakanani kutsi letintfo letimangalisako tenteke tize tifike ekugcineni?” 7 Ngabese ngiva lona lobekagcoke timphahla telineni futsi lobekeme etikwalomfula aphendvula. Njengobe abephendvula, waphakamisela sandla sakhe sangesekudla nesangesencele emazulwini futsi wafunga ngaNkulunkulu lophila phakadze+ watsi: “Kutawutsatsa sikhatsi lesimisiwe, tikhatsi letimisiwe, nehhafu yesikhatsi.* Ngekushesha nje nakuphela sikhatsi sekutsi kuphihlitwe emandla alabangcwele, tonkhe letintfo titawufika ekugcineni.”+
8 Ngakuva loko, kodvwa angizange ngikucondze,+ ngako ngatsi: “Awu nkhosi yami, utawuba yini umphumela wako konkhe loku?”
9 Wabese utsi kimi: “Hamba Danyela, ngobe lencwadzi kufanele uyivale futsi lamavi uwagcine ayimfihlo kuze kufike sikhatsi sekugcina.+ 10 Bantfu labanyenti batatihlambulula, bente lokulungile futsi bacwengwe.+ Bantfu lababi batawenta tintfo letimbi futsi kute ngisho namunye kubo lotawuba nekucondza; kodvwa labo labahlakaniphile batawuba nekucondza.+
11 “Kusukela nakususwa umhlatjelo lokufanele wentiwe njalo+ futsi kwabekwa intfo leyenyanyekako lebangela imbhubhiso,+ kutawuba ngemalanga langu-1 290.
12 “Uyajabula loyo lohlala alindzile* kuze kube sekugcineni kwemalanga langu-1 335.
13 “Kodvwa wena cinisela kuze kube sekugcineni. Utawuphumula, kepha nasesiphelile sikhatsi sekulindza kwakho, utawuvuka utfole sabelo* sakho.”+
