8. Kwada ekupheleni kweza kum uDaniyeli, ogama linguBheletshatsare ngokwegama lothixo wam, onomoya woothixo abangcwele. Ndamlawulela iphupha, ndathi,
9. Bheletshatsare, mongameli wezazi, wena ndikwayizo ukuba unomoya woothixo abangcwele, akukho mfihlakalo ikukhohlayo; ndítyele imibono yephupha lam endilibonileyo, nokutyhilwa kwalo.
10. Imibono ke yentloko yam esililini sam nantsi: Ndabona, nango umthi usesazulwini sehlabathi; ukuphakama kwawo bekukukhulu.
11. Wakhula umthi, womelela; ukuphakama kwawo kwafikelela ezulwini, nokubonakala kwawo ekupheleni kwehlabathi lonke.
12. Amagqabi awo abemahle, neziqhamo zawo bezizininzi; ubunokudla okwanele iinto zonke. Amarhamncwa asendle abenomthunzi phantsi kwawo, iintaka zezulu zahlala emasebeni awo, yadla kuwo yonke inyama.
13. Ndabona emibonweni yentloko yam, ndisesililini sam, nanko kusihla umlindi engongcwele emazulwini.
14. Wadanduluka ngamandla, watsho ukuthi, Wúgawuleni lo mthi, niwanqumle amasebe awo, niwaqhawule amagqabi awo, nizichithachithe iziqhamo zawo. Makabaleke emke phantsi kwawo amarhamncwa, neentaka emasebeni awo.
15. Kodwa ke isiphunzi esineengcambu zawo sishiyeni emhlabeni, síphanjiwe ngesinyithi nobhedu eluhlazeni lwasendle. Masinyakamiswe ngumbethe wezulu; makahlulelane neenkomo ngotyani bomhlaba.
16. Intliziyo yakhe mayisuke ingabi yeyomntu, anikwe intliziyo yenkomo; kudlule amaxesha amisiweyo abe sixhenxe phezu kwakhe.
17. Umyalezo lo ukho ngengqibo yabalindi, umcimbi lo lilizwi labayingcwele; ngokokuze bazi abahleliyo, ukuba Osenyangweni unegunya ebukumkanini babantu, abùnike lowo athanda ukumnika, amise ophantsi ebantwini phezu kwabo.
18. Elo phupha ndilibonile, mna kumkani Nebhukadenetsare. Wena ke, Bheletshatsare, lítyhile ke, ngenxa enokuba zonke izilumko zobukumkani bam zingenako ukundazisa ukutyhilwa kwalo; ube ke wena unako, ngokuba ùnomoya woothixo abangcwele.
19. Waza uDaniyeli, ogama linguBheletshatsare, wamangaliswa umzuzwana, nezicamango zakhe zamkhwankqisa. Waphendula ukumkani wathi, Bheletshatsare, iphupha nokutyhilwa kwalo malingakukhathazi. UBheletshatsare waphendula wathi, Nkosi yam, iphupha malisingisele kwabakuthiyileyo, nokutyhilwa kwalo kwabakuzondayo.
20. Umthi owubonileyo, owakhuláyo womelela, okuphakama kwawo kwafikelelayo ezulwini, wabonwa ehlabathini lonke;
21. omagqabi ayemahle, oziqhamo bezizininzi, obunokudla okwanele izinto zonke, awahlala phantsi kwawo amarhamncwa asendle, ezaba neendlu emasebeni awo iintaka zezulu:
22. nguwe lowo, kumkani, ùthe wakhula, womelela; ùbukhulu bakho bukhulileyo bafika ezulwini, negunya lakho ekupheleni kwehlabathi.
23. Le nto yokuba ukumkani ebone umlindi ongoyingcwele esihla emazulwini, esithi, Wugawuleni lo mthi, niwonakalise; kodwa isiphunzi esineengcambu zawo, sishiyeni emhlabeni, síphanjiwe ngesinyithi nobhedu eluhlazeni lwasendle; sinyakamiswe ngumbethe wezulu, ahlulelane neenkomo ngotyani, kude kudlule phezu kwakhe amaxesha amisiweyo asixhenxe:
24. nanku ukutyhilwa kwako, kumkani; nantsi ingqibo yOsenyangweni eya kuyifikela inkosi yam ukumkani:
25. ùya kugxothwa ebantwini, libe kumarhamncwa asendle ikhaya lakho, udliswe utyani njengeenkomo, unyakamiswe ngumbethe wezulu, kudlule phezu kwakho amaxesha amisiweyo asixhenxe, ude wazi ukuba Osenyangweni unegunya ebukumkanini babantu, ebunika lowo athanda ukumnika.
26. Le nto kuthiwe isiphunzi esineengcambu zomthi, masishiywe, ithi, ubukumkani bakho buya kuqiniselwa kuwe, kwaoko wakùthi wazi ukuba amazulu anegunya.
