Daniyeli
10 Mu chaka chachitatu cha Sayirasi themba+ la Peresiya, uvumbuzi ukapelekeka kwa Daniyeli, uyo wakachemekanga na zina lakuti Beliteshazara.+ Uthenga ukaŵa waunenesko, ndipo ukaŵa wakukhwaskana na nkhondo yikuru. Daniyeli wakapulikiska uthenga uwu, ndipo wakawovwirika kumanya ivyo wakawona.
2 Mu mazuŵa agho, ine Daniyeli, nkhalira+ masabata ghatatu. 3 Nkharyanga chakurya chakunowa chara, nyama panji vinyo vikanjiramo chara mu mulomo wane, ndipo masabata ghose ghatatu nkhaphakaranga mafuta chara. 4 Pa zuŵa la 24 la mwezi wakwamba, apo nkhaŵa mumphepete mwa mlonga ukuru wa Tayigirisi,*+ 5 nkhinuska maso ghane ndipo nkhawona mwanalume uyo wakavwara salu yiwemi,+ ndipo mu chiwuno* mwake mukaŵa lamba wagolide wa ku Ufazi. 6 Thupi lake likaŵa nga ni libwe la kurusolito,+ chisko chake chikawonekanga nga ni leza, maso ghake ghakaŵa nga nkhulilima kwa moto. Mawoko ghake na vikandiro vyake vikaŵa nga ni mkuŵa wakunyezimira,+ ndipo mazgu ghake ghakaŵa nga ni mazgu gha mzinda wa ŵanthu. 7 Ine, Daniyeli, ndine nkhawona mboniwoni iyi. Ŵanthu awo nkhaŵa nawo ŵakayiwona yayi mboniwoni iyi.+ Kweni ŵakambwambwantha* chomene ndipo ŵakachimbira na kukabisama.*
8 Ntheura nkhakhala nekha, ndipo nkhati nawona mboniwoni yikuru iyi, nkhaŵavyirathu nkhongono, kawonekero kane kakuchindikika kakamara, ndipo nkhongono zane zose zikamara.+ 9 Penepapo nkhapulika mazgu ghake. Nkhati namupulika wakuyowoya, nkhagona tulo tuzito uku nawa kavunama.+ 10 Kweni woko likanikhwaska+ na kunisunkhunya kuti niwuke, ndipo nkhawukira makongono na mawoko. 11 Penepapo wakati kwa ine:
“Iwe Daniyeli, wamunthu wakuzirwa chomene,+ tegherezga mazgu agho nikuphalirenge. Sono yimilira pa malo ghako, pakuti natumika kwa iwe.”
Wakati wayowoya mazgu agha kwa ine, nkhimilira uku nkhumbwambwantha.
12 Pamanyuma wakati kwa ine: “Iwe Daniyeli, ungopanga chara.+ Mazgu ghako ghapulikikwa kufuma pa zuŵa lakwamba ilo ukajulira mtima wako kuti upulikiske vinthu ivi na kujiyuyura pamaso pa Chiuta wako, ndipo niza chifukwa cha mazgu ghako.+ 13 Kweni karonga+ wa uthemba wa Peresiya wakimikana nane kwa mazuŵa 21. Kweni pamanyuma, Mikayeli,*+ yumoza wa ŵakaronga ŵalara,* wakiza kuzakanovwira, ndipo nkhakhala kwenekura pafupi na mathemba gha Peresiya. 14 Niza kuzakakumanyiska ivyo vizamuwira ŵanthu ŵako mu mazuŵa ghaumaliro,+ chifukwa ni mboniwoni ya mazuŵa ghakunthazi.”+
15 Sono wakati wayowoya mazgu agha kwa ine, nkhalazga chisko pasi ndipo nkhazgoka mbuwu. 16 Ndipo munyake wakuwoneka nga ni munthu wakakhwaska pa mulomo wane,+ ndipo nkhajura mulomo wane na kuyowoya kwa munthu uyo wakimilira panthazi pane, kuti: “Fumu yane, nkhumbwambwantha chifukwa cha mboniwoni, ndipo nilije nkhongono.+ 17 Ntheura muteŵeti wa fumu yane wangayowoya wuli na fumu yane?+ Pakuti sono nilije nkhongono, ndipo mwa ine mulije mvuchi uwo wakhalamo.”+
18 Uyo wakawonekanga nga ni munthu wakanikhwaskaso na kunikhozga.+ 19 Penepapo wakati kwa ine: “Munthu wakuzirwa chomene iwe,+ ungopanga yayi.+ Mtende uŵe nawe.+ Uŵe wankhongono, enya, uŵe wankhongono.” Apo wakayowoyanga nane, nkhakhozgeka ndipo nkhati: “Yowoyani fumu yane, pakuti mwanikhozga.”
20 Kufuma apo, wakati: “Kasi ukumanya chifukwa icho nizira kwa iwe? Sono nkhulutaso kukarwa nkhondo na karonga wa Peresiya.+ Para naluta, karonga wa Girisi wizenge. 21 Kweni nikuphalirenge vinthu ivyo vili kulembeka mu malemba ghaunenesko. Palije uyo wakunovwira mwankhongono pa vinthu ivi, kweni Mikayeli+ karonga winu.+
