1Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokulawula kukaBheleshatsare ukumkani, mna, Daniyeli wam, ndabona umbono emva kowokuqala owabonakalayo kum.

2Ndabona embonweni; ndakubona oko, ndiseShushan komkhulu, kummandla wakwaElam; ndabona embonweni, yaye ndandisecaleni komlambo iUlayi.

3Ndawaphakamisa amehlo am, ndakhangela, nantso inkunzi yegusha imi ngasemlanjeni, ineempondo ezimbini; zaphakama iimpondo zombini; kodwa enye yayiphakame kakhulu kunomnye, kwaye ephakamileyo yayingasemva.

4Ndabona inkunzi yegusha ityhoboza, ibhekisa entshonalanga, entla, nasezantsi; akwabakho ukuma phambi kwayo, akwabakho unokuhlangula esandleni sayo; kodwa wenza ngokuthanda kwakhe, wakhula.

5Ndithe ndisakukhumbula oko, kwathi gqi inkunzi yebhokhwe entshonalanga, iye kulo lonke ihlabathi, ingawuchukumisi umhlaba; yaye ibhokhwe yayinophondo olumangalisayo phakathi kwamehlo ayo.

6Yafika enkunzini yegusha, ineempondo ezimbini, ndayibona imi ngasemlanjeni, yagidimela kuyo ke ngobushushu bamandla ayo.

7Ndayibona isondela enkunzini yegusha, yoyika kakhulu, yayibetha inkunzi yegusha, yazaphula iimpondo zayo zombini; ayaba namandla inkunzi yegusha ukuma ngakuyo, yasuka yaziphosa enkunzini yegusha waxabela, wayinyathela, akwabakho bani uyihlangulayo inkunzi yegusha esandleni sayo.

8Inkunzi yebhokhwe yakhula ngokuncamisileyo, yakuba yomelele, lwaphuka uphondo olukhulu; yaza yavela ezine ezimangalisayo emva koomoya abane bezulu.

9Kolunye kuzo kwavela uphondo oluncinane, lwaba lukhulu ngokuncamisileyo, lwabheka ngasezantsi, nasempumalanga, nasemhlabeni onqabileyo.

10Yaba nkulu, yada yaya kufika emazulwini; Waziphosa phantsi ezinye izidumbu nezinye iinkwenkwezi, wazinyathela ngeenyawo.

11Wazenza umphathi wamatyala, wawususa umbingelelo wamaxesha onke, yaphoswa phantsi ingcwele yakhe.

12Kwaye wanikwa uluhlu lwamajoni ngokuchasene nedini eliqhelekileyo ngenxa yesikreqo, kwaye wayilahla phantsi inyaniso; yaye yenjenjalo, yaba yimpumelelo.

13Ndamva ongcwele ethetha, wathi ke omnye kowangcwele: “Koda kube nini na lo mbono ungowomnikelo wemihla ngemihla, nosisigwebo esitshabalalisayo, ukuze kunyhashwe ingcwele neenkundla? utshintsho?

14Wathi kum, Koda kube ziintsuku ezingamawaka amabini anamakhulu mathathu; yandule ukuhlanjululwa ingcwele.

15Mna, Daniyeli, ndawubona loo mbono, ndaza ke ndifuna ukuwucacisa, ndabona emi phambi kwam enjengokubonakala komntu.

16Ndeva ilizwi lomntu phakathi konxweme lwaseUlayi, lidanduluka, lisithi, Gabriyeli, mawuqonde lo mbono.

17Wasondela apho bendimi khona; ekuzeni kwayo ndoyika, ndawa ngobuso; wathi kum, Qonda, nyana womntu; ngokuba lo mbono uya kuba lapho ngemihla yokugqibela.

18Ithe ekuthetheni kwayo nam, ndozela, ndasuke ndanobuthongo obuthe nca, wandichukumisa, wandimisa.

19Wathi, Yabonani, ndinixelela okuya kubakho ekupheleni kwengqumbo; ngokuba isiphelo siya kuba ngexesha elimisiweyo.

20Inkunzi yegusha oyibonileyo ineempondo ezimbini, ngookumkani bamaMedi namaPersi;

21Ibhokhwe etyetyisiweyo ngukumkani waseGrisi, nophondo olukhulu oluphakathi kwamehlo ayo ngukumkani wokuqala.

22Ekubeni laphulwe, kuya kuvela ezine phambi kwalo, kuvele oorhulumente abane bephuma eluhlangeni, bengengamandla alo.

23Kuya kuthi ke ekupheleni kobukumkani babo, bakugqiba abathetheli benze ubumenemene, ukumkani uya kuma enobuso obujorha, enobuso obulukhuni, nezigwebo ezibi.

24Kwaye amandla akhe aya komelela, kungabi ngokwamandla awo; uya konakalisa ngendlela emangalisayo, aphumelele, enze, atshabalalise anamandla nohlanga olungcwele.

25Kwaye kwakhona ngecebo lakhe uya kuphumelela emsebenzini esandleni sakhe; kwaye uya kuziphakamisa entliziyweni yakhe, kwaye uya kubatshabalalisa abaninzi ngoxolo; kodwa akayi kubethwa ngesandla.

26Umbono wokuhlwa kusisa okhankanyiweyo uyinyaniso; kuba iya kuba yimihla emininzi.

27Mna, Daniyeli, ndanikezela, ndaneentsuku ndisifa; emva koko ndema, ndawenza umsebenzi wokumkani; ndamangaliswa ngumbono lowo, kodwa kungekho bani uqondayo.
