Danyela 11:1-45
11 Ngemuva kwaloko, lona lonjengemuntfu watsi: “Ngemnyaka wekucala wekubusa kwaDariyusi+ umMediya, mine ngasukuma kuze ngisekele Mikhayeli* futsi ngimcinise.*
2 Loku lengitakutjela kona nyalo kuliciniso:
“Kunalamanye emakhosi lamatsatfu latawuvela embusweni wasePheresiya, futsi inkhosi yesine itawunjinga kakhulu kunawo onkhe lalamanye. Itawutsi naseyinemandla ngenca yalomcebo wayo, inyakatise tonkhe tintfo kuze imelane nenkhosi yaseGrisi.+
3 “Kutawuvela inkhosi lenemandla futsi itawubusa ngemandla lamakhulu,*+ yente tintfo ngekutsandza kwayo.
4 Kodvwa naseyinemandla kakhulu, umbuso wayo utawufihlitwa futsi usakatelwe emagumbini lamane emhlaba.*+ Angeke wendluliselwe kubantfwana* bayo futsi angeke ube nemandla njengalapho kusabusa yona; ngobe umbuso wayo utawusishulwa uniketwe labanye bantfu.
5 “Inkhosi yaseningizimu, lebeyingulenye yetindvuna tayo,* itawuba nemandla; kodvwa kunemuntfu lotayehlula futsi abuse ngemandla lamakhulu kwendlula yona.
6 “Ngemuva kweminyaka letsite, batawenta sivumelwane, futsi indvodzakati yenkhosi yaseningizimu itawuya enkhosini yasenyakatfo kuze kucinisekiswe lesivumelwane. Kodvwa emandla emkhono walendvodzakati atawuphela; nemandla alenkhosi nawo atawuphela. Lendvodzakati, nalabo labayiletsa, nababe wayo kanye naloyo lowayenta yaba nemandla ngaleto tikhatsi, batawunikelwa kulabanye bantfu.
7 Kutawuvela umuntfu wakhabolendvodzakati lotawutsatsa sikhundla sababe wakhe,* futsi utawuhlasela libutfo, ahlasele nendzawo levikelekile yenkhosi yasenyakatfo, utawubahlasela futsi abancobe.
8 Utawutsatsa bonkulunkulu babo, tithico tabo tensimbi, netintfo tabo letiligugu letentiwe ngelisiliva nangeligolide kanye naloko lokutfunjiwe, aye nako eGibhithe. Kutawuphela iminyaka letsite angalwi nenkhosi yasenyakatfo.
9 Kodvwa inkhosi yasenyakatfo itawuhlasela umbuso wenkhosi yaseningizimu, kepha itawubuyela eveni layo.
10 “Emadvodzana ayo* atatilungiselela kuya emphini futsi ahlanganise ndzawonye libutfo lelikhulu lemphi. Itawuhamba iyohlasela lelive futsi ilikhukhule kuhle kwesikhukhula. Kodvwa itawubuyela emuva, ihambe ilwa ize iyofika endzaweni yayo levikelekile.
11 “Inkhosi yaseningizimu itawutfukutsela, ihambe iyokulwa nenkhosi yasenyakatfo, futsi lenkhosi yasenyakatfo itawubutsisa sicumbi lesikhulu kepha lesicumbi sitawunikelwa kulelenye.*
12 Lesicumbi sitawutsatfwa, futsi itawubese iyatiphakamisa enhlitiyweni yayo, icotfule emashumi etinkhulungwane. Itawuba nemandla kepha angeke ilisebentise kahle lelo tfuba.
13 “Inkhosi yasenyakatfo itawubuya futsi ibutsise sicumbi lesikhulu kakhulu kunakucala; ngemuva kwesikhatsi lesitsite, nasekuphele iminyaka letsite, itawuta nelibutfo lelikhulu, iphetse netintfo letinyenti.
14 Ngaleto tikhatsi, bantfu labanyenti batawumelana nenkhosi yaseningizimu.
“Emkhatsini webantfu bakini, labo labephula umtsetfo* batawuyengwa ngulabanye kutsi betame kwenta umbono ugcwaliseke, kodvwa batawehluleka.
15 “Inkhosi yasenyakatfo itawuta, ifike yakhe lubondza lwekuvimbetela futsi incobe lidolobha lelivikelekile. Emabutfo* aseningizimu angeke aphumelele, nemasotja akhona lanemandla kakhulu ngeke aphumelele; futsi angeke akhone kutivikela.
16 Loyo lotawuhlasela inkhosi yaseningizimu utawutentela matsandza futsi kute lotakuma embikwakhe. Utawuma* eVeni Lelihle+ futsi utawuba nemandla ekucotfula.
17 Utawuta ngekutimisela, ete nalo lonkhe libutfo lelinemandla lembuso wakhe, kodvwa utawenta sivumelwane naleyo nkhosi; ente loko lakucabangako. Utawuvunyelwa kutsi aletsele indvodzakati yemfati inhlekelele. Lendvodzakati angeke ime futsi angeke ichubeke ingeyakhe.
18 Utawuhlasela tindzawo letiseceleni kwelwandle futsi ancobe letinyenti. Kutawuba nendvuna yelibutfo letawucedza kutigcabha kwakhe, kuze ingahlazeki. Kepha itawenta kutsi kuhlazeke yena.
19 Utawubese ubuyela etindzaweni letivikelekile letiseveni lakhe, futsi utawugileka awe, bese uyanyamalala.
20 “Esikhundleni sakhe kutawuvela loyo lotawutfuma umtselisi* kutsi adzabule embusweni lokhatimulako, kodvwa utakufa ngemuva kwemalanga lambalwa, kepha angeke afe ngesibhuku nobe afele emphini.
21 “Sikhundla sakhe sitawubese sitsatfwa nguloyo lobukelwa phansi,* futsi angeke bamnike ludvumo lwembuso; utawufika ngesikhatsi sekuthula* futsi atsatse umbuso ngebucili.*
22 Utawuncoba emabutfo* lanjengesikhukhula, futsi atawubhujiswa; neMholi+ wesivumelwane+ utawufihlitwa.
23 Ngenca yesivumelwane lesentiwe naye, utawuchubeka akhohlisa, akhula futsi abe nemandla asebentisa sive lesinebantfu labambalwa.
24 Ngesikhatsi sekuthula* utakuya etindzaweni letinotsile* tesifundza futsi ente loko bokhokho bakhe labangazange sebakwente. Utawehlukanisela bantfu tintfo letebiwe naletitsetfwe emphini kanye nemphahla; futsi utawakha emacebo lamelene netindzawo letivikelekile, kodvwa kutawumane kube kwesikhashana.
25 “Utawulungisa libutfo lelikhulu futsi ngesibindzi ahlasele inkhosi yaseningizimu, nenkhosi yaseningizimu itawutilungiselela kuyokulwa, ihlanganise libutfo lelikhulu kakhulu nalelinemandla. Angeke aphumelele ngobe batamakhela emacebo lamelene naye.
26 Kodvwa labo labadla tibiliboco takhe batamwisa.
“Libutfo lakhe litawukhukhulwa futsi labanyenti batawubulawa.
27 “Tinhlitiyo talamakhosi lamabili titawufuna kwenta lokubi, futsi lamakhosi atawuhlala etafuleni linye ayengane. Kodvwa kute lokutawuphumelela, ngobe kuphela kutawufika ngesikhatsi lesimisiwe.+
28 “Inkhosi yasenyakatfo itawubuyela eveni layo iphetse tintfo letinyenti kakhulu, futsi inhlitiyo yayo itawube imelene nesivumelwane lesingcwele. Itawenta loko lekucabangako futsi ibuyele eveni layo.
29 “Ngesikhatsi lesibekiwe itawubuya futsi ihlasele live laseningizimu. Kodvwa ngaleso sikhatsi angeke kusafana nasekucaleni,
30 ngobe itawuhlaselwa yimikhumbi yaseKhithimu,+ futsi itfotjiswe.
“Itawubuyela emuva itfukutselele sivumelwane lesingcwele,+ yente loko lekucabangako; itawubuyela emuva inake labo labasishiyako sivumelwane lesingcwele.
31 Kutawuvela emabutfo* lasuka kuyo; edzelele indzawo lengcwele+ nendzawo levikelekile, asuse nemhlatjelo lokufanele wentiwe njalo.+
“Futsi atawubeka intfo leyenyanyekako lebangela imbhubhiso.+
32 “Inkhosi yasenyakatfo itawusebentisa bucili* kuze ibente tihlubuki labo labenta lokubi futsi labephula sivumelwane. Kodvwa bantfu labati Nkulunkulu wabo batawuphumelela futsi batawenta loko labakucabangako.
33 Labo labahlakaniphile+ emkhatsini webantfu batawenta labanyenti babe nekucondza. Batawugileka futsi bawe ngenkemba, bashiswe, batfunjwe, batsatselwe tintfo tabo, kepha loko kutawenteka emalanga latsite.
34 Kodvwa batawutsi nabagileka, baniketwe lusito loluncane; futsi labanyenti batawusebentisa bucili* kuze batihlanganise nabo.
35 Labanye kulabo labahlakaniphile batawugileka. Loku kutawenteka kuze kufike sikhatsi sekuphela, khona batawuhlanjululwa, bacwengwe futsi bashiywe bangenasici,+ ngobe loku kutawenteka ngesikhatsi lesimisiwe.
36 “Lenkhosi itawutentela matsandza, itikhukhumete futsi itiphakamise ngetulu kwabo bonkhe bonkulunkulu; itawukhuluma tintfo letetfusako ngaNkulunkulu lophakeme kunabo bonkhe labanye bonkulunkulu.+ Tintfo titayihambela kahle kuze kube ngulapho ijeziswa; ngobe kufanele kwenteke loko Nkulunkulu lakuncumile.
37 Angeke imhloniphe Nkulunkulu wabokhokho bayo; netifiso tebafati angeke itinake, futsi kute ngisho namunye nkulunkulu letamhlonipha, kodvwa itatiphakamisa ibe ngetulu kwabo bonkhe bantfu.
38 Esikhundleni saloko itawudvumisa nkulunkulu wetindzawo letivikelekile; itawudvumisa lonkulunkulu lobekangatiwa ngisho nabokhokho bayo, imdvumise ngeligolide nangelisiliva, ngematje laligugu nangetintfo letinhle.*
39 Itawuhlasela tindzawo letivikeleke kakhulu, isitwa ngulonkulunkulu lomusha.* Itawubanika ludvumo lolukhulu labo labayisekelako,* futsi itawubenta babuse bantfu labanyenti; ibehlukanisele umhlaba ube ngumvuzo wabo.
40 “Esikhatsini sekuphela, inkhosi yaseningizimu itawufucana nayo,* kodvwa inkhosi yasenyakatfo itayihlasela kuhle kwesivunguvungu, ite netinkalishi tayo, nemasotja lagibele emahhashi kanye nemikhumbi leminyenti; futsi itawufika emaveni ikhukhule konkhe kuhle kwesikhukhula.
41 Itawungena naseVeni Lelihle+ futsi incobe emave lamanyenti. Kodvwa bantfu baka-Edomu, bakaMowabi, kanye nebantfu labamcoka baka-Amoni batawusindza esandleni sayo.
42 Itawuchubeka ihlasela emave; futsi neGibhithe angeke idzabule.
43 Itawulawula ligolide nelisiliva lelifihliwe kanye nato tonkhe tintfo letiligugu taseGibhithe. Bantfu baseLibhiya nebaseTopiya batakwenta konkhe lokufunwa ngulenkhosi.*
44 “Kodvwa itawuphazanyiswa yimibiko levela emphumalanga nasenyakatfo, futsi itawuphuma itfukutsele kakhulu kuze icotfule labanyenti futsi ibabhubhise.
45 Itawumisa emathende ayo ebukhosi* emkhatsini welwandle lolukhulu nentsaba lengcwele yaseVeni Lelihle;+ futsi itawufika esiphetfweni sayo, kube bete nalongayisita.
