20. Wasusela uDaniyeli wathi, Malibongwe igama likaThixo, kususela kunaphakade kude kuse ephakadeni; ngokuba ubulumko nobugorha bona bobakhe.
21. Yena uyawaguqula ke amaxesha neminyaka; uguzula ookumkani, amise ookumkani; unika ubulumko kwizilumko, unika ukwazi kwabakwaziyo ukuqonda.
22. Yena utyhila izinto ezinzulu nezisitheleyo; uyakwazi okusebumnyameni, ukukhanya kuhleli kuye.
23. Ndiya kubulela, Thixo woobawo, ndikuncoma, kuba undiniké ubulumko nobugorha, wandazisa kalokunje oko sibe sikucela kuwe; ngokuba usazísile ngokunje le nto yokumkani.
24. Ngenxa yoko uDaniyeli wangena waya kuAriyoki, lowo ubemiswe ngukumkani ukuba atshabalalise izilumko zaseBhabheli. Waya ke, wathi kuye, Musa ukuzitshabalalisa izilumko zaseBhabheli; ndíse kukumkani; ndomxelela ukumkani ukutyhilwa kwephupha elo.
25. Waza uAriyoki wamzisa uDaniyeli ngobungxamo kukumkani, wathi kuye, Ndifumene indoda koonyana baseluthinjweni lwakwaYuda, eya kumazisa ukumkani ukutyhilwa kwephupha elo.
26. Waphendula ukumkani, wathi kuDaniyeli, ogama linguBheletshatsare, Ùnako na ukundazisa iphupha endilibonileyo, nokutyhilwa kwalo?
27. Waphendula uDaniyeli phambi kokumkani, wathi, Imfihlakalo ayibuzayo ukumkani, azinako ukumxelela ukumkani izilumko, nabakhwitsi, nezazi, namatola.
28. Kodwa ke kukho uThixo emazulwini, ozityhilayo iimfihlakalo, onokumazisa ukumkani uNebhukadenetsare okuya kubakho ekupheleni kwemihla. Iphupha lakho, nemibono yentloko yakho esililini sakho, nantsi:
29. Wena kumkani, izicamango zakho zathi tyaba kuwe esililini sakho, zokúya kubakho emveni koku; lowo ke uzityhilayo iimfihlakalo uyakwazisa okuya kubakho.
30. Mna le mfihlakalo, ukuyityhilelwa kwam, àkungenxa yabulumko ndingába ndinabo ngaphezu kwabo bonke abaphilileyo; kungenxa yokuze aziswe ukumkani ukutyhilwa kwalo, uzazi izicamango zentliziyo yakho.
