10 Mu gole lacitatu la utongi bwa Siro mambo wa ku Persiya, Daniyeli omwe akhacemeredwa Beltisazari adatambira mafala yakucokera kwa Mulungu. Mafalayo yakhali yacadidi ndipo yakhalewa bza nkhondo ikulu. Daniyeli adabvesesa bwino mafalayo ndipo adadziwa bzomwe adawonabzo.
2 Mu ntsiku zimwezo, inepano Daniyeli ndidalira kwa sumana zitatu.
3 Inepano ndiribe kudya cakudya cakukoma, ndiribe kudya nyama ne kumwa vinyu ndipo ndiribe kudzola mafuta yali-yentse kwa sumana zitatu.
4 Pa ntsiku 24 ya mwezi wakuyamba, pomwe ndikhali m’mphepete mwa mkulo ukulu wa Tigre,*
5 ndidadjiguma ndipo ndidawona munthu omwe akhadabvala cakubvala ca nguwo, ndipo m’ciuno mwace akhadamanga bande la* oro ya ku Ufazi.
6 Thupi lace likhali ninga mwala wa krizolito, nkhope yace ikhali ninga mpheni, maso yace yakhali ninga cirambi-rambi ca moto,* manja na minyendo yace bzikhali ninga mkuwa* wakuyetima ndipo mafala yace yakhabveka ninga mafala ya wanthu azinji.
7 Inepano ndekha Daniyeli, ndine omwe ndidawona masomphenyayo, tsono amuna omwe ndikhanawo pabodzi alibe kuyawona. Tenepo, amunawo adayamba kutetemera kwene-kwene ndipo adathawa acikabisala.
8 Tenepo ndidasala ndekha, ndipo pomwe ndidawona masomphenya yakudabwisaya, mphanvu zangu zidandimalira. Mawonekedwe yangu yadacinja yacikhala yakupasa ntsisi ndipo ndidakhala wakusaya mphanvu.
9 Patsogolo pace, ndidayamba kubva mafala yace. Tsono pomwe ndikhabva mafalayo, inepano ndikhadagona tulo twakufa nato mwakuti nkhope yangu ikhadanyang’anisa pantsi.
10 Tenepo, ndidabva boko la munthu likundikhuya. Iro lidandigwededza kuti ndimuke ndipo ndidagodama ndicidjimbikira na manja yangu.
11 Iye adandiuza kuti:
“Iwe Daniyeli, munthu wakufunika* kwene-kwene, bvesera mwatceru mafala yomwe nin’funa kukuuza. Tenepo lamuka, pakuti Mulungu wandituma kwa iwepo.”
Pomwe adandiuza bzimwebzi, ndidalamuka ndikutetemera.
12 Iye adandiuza kuti: “Daniyeli leka kugopa, mafala yako yabveka kucokera pa ntsiku yakuyamba yomwe udatsimikiza kubvesesa bzinthu bzimwebzi na kubzicepesa pamaso pa Mulungu wako, ndipo ndabwera thangwe ra mafala yakoyo.
13 Tsono nduna ya umambo bwa Persiya idanesana nande kwa ntsiku 21. Tenepo Migeli,* m’bodzi mwa nduna zakufunika kwene-kwene,* adabwera kudzandithandiza ndipo ine ndidapitiriza kukhala na amambo wa Persiya.
14 Tsapano ndabwera kudzakuthandiza kuti ubvesese bzomwe bzin’dzacitikira wanthu wako mu ntsiku zakumalizira, thangwe masomphenya yomwe udayawonayo nja ntsiku zakutsogolo.”
15 Pomwe iye akhandiuza mafala yamweya, ndidatsulimisa nkhope yangu ndipo ndidasaya cakulewa.
16 Tenepo munthu munango omwe akhawoneka ninga mwamuna adakhuya mulomo wangu, ndipo pomwe adandikhuya ndidayamba kulewalewa ndiciuza ule omwe akhadaima patsogolo pangu kuti: “Mbuya wangu, ndikutetemera thangwe ra masomphenyayo ndipo ndiribe mphanvu.
17 Tenepo, kodi inepano mtumiki wanu ningakwanise tani kulewalewa namwe mbuya wangu? Pakuti tsapano mphanvu zangu zamala ndipo ndikutazira kupuma.”
18 Tsono ule omwe akhana mawonekedwe ninga ya mwamuna ule, adandikhuya pomwe ndipo adandipasa mphanvu.
19 Ndipo iye adandiuza kuti: “Leka kugopa, iwe munthu wakufunika kwene-kwene. Ukhale na mtendere. Khwimika, inde khwimika.” Pomwe iye akhalewa-lewa nande, ndidakhala na mphanvu ndipo ndidati: “Lewalewani mbuya wangu, pakuti ndimwepo omwe mwandipasa mphanvu.”
20 Patsogolo pace iye adati: “Tsapano ndikubwerera kuti ndikamenyane na nduna ya Persiya. Tsono ndikandoti cokeni, nduna ya Gresiya in’fika. Kodi un’dziwa n’thangwe ranyi inepano ndabwera kwa iwepo?
21 Ndabwera kudzakuuza bzinthu bzomwe bzidanembedwa m’bukhu la cadidi. Palibe munthu munango omwe ambandipasa mphanvu pa bzimwebzi koma Migeli yekha nduna yanu.
