Danyela
7 Ngemnyaka wekucala waBhelshasari inkhosi+ yaseBhabhulona, Danyela wabhudza futsi wabona imibono ngesikhatsi alele embhedzeni wakhe.+ Wabese ukubhala phansi loko bekakubhudzile;+ wakubhala konkhe loko bekakubonile. 2 Danyela watsi:
“Ngatsi nangiselele ebusuku ngabona imimoya lemine yasemazulwini lebeyihhusha ngemandla, ihhusha elwandle lolukhulu.+ 3 Kwabese kuphuma tilwane tesiganga letine letinkhulu+ kulolwandle, futsi nguleso naleso besehlukile kulesinye.
4 “Silwane sekucala besinjengelibhubesi+ futsi besinetimphiko telusweti.+ Ngatsi ngisebukile ngabona kukhishwa timphiko taso, saphakanyiswa emhlabatsini, samiswa ngetinyawo letimbili njengemuntfu futsi sanikwa inhlitiyo yemuntfu.
5 “Ngabese ngibona lesinye silwane sesibili lebesinjengelibhele.+ Besiphakamise lunyawo lwaso futsi besibambe timbambo letintsatfu ngematinyo aso. Kwakhulunywa naso kwatsiwa: ‘Vuka udle inyama lenyenti.’+
6 “Ngemuva kwaloko ngachubeka ngibukile, futsi ngabona lesinye silwane lebesifana nengwe,+ kepha emhlane waso besinetimphiko letine letinjengetenyoni. Lesilwane besinetinhloko letine,+ futsi saniketwa emandla ekubusa.
7 “Njengobe bengisolo ngibona lemibono ebusuku, ngabese ngibona silwane sesine. Besesabeka, setfusa, sinemandla lamakhulu futsi sinematinyo lamakhulu ensimbi. Besishwabadzela yonkhe intfo lesihlangana nayo futsi siyifihlita, bese kutsi lokusele sikunyatsele ngetinyawo taso.+ Besehlukile kuleti letinye tilwane letivele kucala kunaso, futsi besinetimphondvo letingu-10. 8 Ngatsi ngisebukile futsi ngicabanga ngaletimphondvo, ngabona kuvela lolunye luphondvo loluncane+ emkhatsini wato, futsi timphondvo letintsatfu kuleti tekucala takhishwa embikwalo. Loluphondvo belunemehlo lanjengewemuntfu, futsi belunemlomo lokhuluma ngekwedzelela.*+
9 “Ngachubeka ngibukile, ngabona tihlalo tebukhosi tibekwa etindzaweni tato futsi Loyo Lobekaphila Kusukela Endvulo+ wahlala phansi.+ Tembatfo takhe betimhlophe njengesitfwatfwa,+ netinwele letisenhloko yakhe betimhlophe njengeboya. Sihlalo sakhe sebukhosi besivutsa emalangabi, nemasondvo aso avutsa umlilo.+ 10 Bekunemlilo lebewugeleta njengemfudlana futsi usuka embikwakhe.+ Tinkhulungwane tetinkhulungwane tetingilosi betichubeka tenta umsebenti wakhe, futsi tinkhulungwane letilishumi letiphindvwe katinkhulungwane letilishumi betime embikwakhe.+ INkantolo+ yacala kusebenta, netincwadzi tavulwa.
11 “Ngaleso sikhatsi, ngachubeka ngibukile njengobe bengiva lamavi ekwedzelela* lebekakhulunywa nguloluphondvo.+ Ngatsi ngisabukile ngabona lesilwane sibulawa, umtimba waso wajikwa emlilweni lovutsako futsi sabhujiswa. 12 Kodvwa leletinye tilwane+ temukwa ligunya lato lekubusa futsi tavunyelwa kutsi tichubeke tiphila sikhatsi lesitsite.
13 “Njengobe bengisolo ngibona lemibono ebusuku, ngabese ngibona lotsite lofana nendvodzana yemuntfu+ ehla nemafu asemazulwini; wavunyelwa kutsi angene kuLoyo Lobekaphila Kusukela Endvulo,+ futsi wangeniswa embikwakhe. 14 Waniketwa ligunya lekubusa,+ neludvumo+ kanye nembuso, kuze bonkhe bantfu, netive kanye nebantfu labakhuluma tilwimi letehlukahlukene bamkhonte.+ Kubusa kwakhe kutawuhlala phakadze futsi angeke kuphele, nembuso wakhe angeke ubhujiswe.+
15 “Lemibono leyetfusako lengayibona yangenta ngacindzeteleka kakhulu.+ 16 Ngako ngasondzela kulenye yetingilosi lebetime lapho, ngayibuta kutsi kahlekahle letintfo tisho kutsini. Yangiphendvula, futsi yangichazela ngaletintfo.
17 “‘Letilwane letine letinkhulu timelela emakhosi lamane+ latawuba khona emhlabeni.+ 18 Kodvwa labangcwele baNkulunkulu Lophakeme+ batawunikwa umbuso+ futsi utawuba ngewabo+ kuze kube phakadze, yebo, phakadze naphakadze.’
19 “Bengifuna kwati nangalesilwane sesine lebesehlukile kuleti letinye. Besesabeka kakhulu, sinematinyo ensimbi, futsi sinetidladla telitfusi. Besishwabadzela yonkhe intfo lesihlangana nayo futsi siyifihlita, bese kutsi lokusele sikunyatsele ngetinyawo taso;+ 20 bengifuna kwati nangaletimphondvo letingu-10+ lebetisenhloko yaso, nangaloluphondvo lolwavela futsi lwenta kutsi kudzilike letintsatfu.+ Loluphondvo belunemehlo, lunemlomo lokhuluma ngekwedzelela* futsi belubukeka lulukhulu kunaleti letinye.
21 “Bengisolo ngibukile njengobe loluphondvo belulwa nalabangcwele futsi lubehlulekisa,+ 22 kwaze kwaba ngulapho Nkulunkulu Lophakeme, Loyo Lobekaphila Kusukela Endvulo+ akhipha sijubo lesivikela labangcwele bakhe, futsi sefika nesikhatsi lebesibekiwe sekutsi labangcwele banikwe umbuso.+
23 “Lengilosi yatsi: ‘Lesilwane sesine simelela umbuso wesine lotawuvela emhlabeni. Utawehluka kuyo yonkhe leleminye imibuso, futsi wona utawushwabadzela wonkhe umhlaba, uwugcobagcobe futsi uwufihlite.+ 24 Letimphondvo letingu-10 timelela emakhosi langu-10 latawuvela kulombuso. Emvakwawo kutawuvela lenye inkhosi, yona itawehluka kunalawa lamanye futsi itawehlulekisa emakhosi lamatsatfu.+ 25 Lenkhosi itawedzelela Losetikwako Konkhe,+ futsi itawuchubeka ihlupha labangcwele baNkulunkulu Lophakeme. Itawetama kushintja tikhatsi nemtsetfo, futsi labangcwele batawunikelwa kuyo kube sikhatsi, tikhatsi nehhafu yesikhatsi.*+ 26 INkantolo yacala kusebenta, futsi lenkhosi yemukwa ligunya layo lekubusa kuze ibhujiswe, ingaphindzi ibe khona.+
27 “‘Bantfu labangcwele baNkulunkulu Lophakeme banikwa umbuso, ligunya lekubusa neludvumo lwayo yonkhe imibuso lesemhlabeni.+ Umbuso wabo utawuhlala ukhona kuze kube phakadze;+ yonkhe imibuso itabasebentela futsi ibalalele.’
28 “Iphelela lapha-ke lendzaba. Yangetfusa kakhulu ngaze ngashintja nasebusweni; kodvwa ngayigcina enhlitiyweni yami.”
