Tenepo iwo adapita aciima pamaso pa mambo. 3 Na tenepo, mamboyo adawauza kuti: “Inepano ndalota ndipo ndikuneseka* kwene-kwene thangwe ndikufuna kudziwa bzomwe ndalotabzo.” 4 Akalideyawo adatawira mambo m’cirewedwe ca Ciaramaiko* kuti: “Imwe mambo, mukhale na moyo mpaka kale-kale. Tiuzeni atumiki wanufe bzomwe mwalota ndipo ifepano tin’kuthumbudzulirani.”*
5 Mamboyo adatawira Akalideyawo kuti: “Mafala yangu yakumalizira njaya: Mukasaya kundizimbulira malotoyo na kundithumbudzulira, imwepo mun’dzagwatidwa-gwatidwa ndipo nyumba zanu zin’dzasanduka bzimbudzi bza wanthu wentse.* 6 Tsono mukandiuza malotoyo na kundithumbudzulira, nin’dzakupasani mphaso, mabaibai na ulemerero bukulu. Tenepo ndiuzeni malotoyo mucindithumbudzulira.”
7 Iwo adatawira pomwe kaciwiri kuti: “Mambo, tiuzeni atumiki wanufe bzomwe mwalota ndipo ifepano tin’kuthumbudzulirani.”
8 Mamboyo adawatawira kuti: “Ndikudziwa kuti mukufuna nthawe kuti mukumbuke, thangwe mukuyadziwa kale mafala yangu yakumalizira pa nkhani imweyi. 9 Mukasaya kundizimbulira malotoya, mun’pasidwa nyathwa ibodzi-bodzi mwentsenemwe. Imwepo mwapangana kuti mundinamize na kundipumpswa mucidikhirira kuti bzinthu bzicinje. Tenepo ndiuzeni malotoyo kuti ndidziwe kuti imwepo mungakwanise kundithumbudzulira.”
10 Akalideyawo adatawira mamboyo kuti: “Pa dziko lentse la pantsi palibe munthu omwe angakwanise kucita bzomwe mambo mukukumbirabzi, pakuti palibe mambo mkulu ne mtongi omwe adakumbira kale bzimwebzi kwa wantsembe wakucita bza matsenga, nyakulewalewa na mizimu ne na Mkalideya. 11 Bzomwe mambo mukukumbirabzi mpsakunesa ndipo palibe munthu munango omwe angakwanise kukuzimbulirani bzimwebzi mambo, koma mirungu yokha yomwe imbakhala lini pakati pa wanthu.”
12 Pomwe adabva bzimwebzi, mamboyo adakalipa kwene-kwene ndipo adatonga kuti adziwi wentse wa ku Babiloniya aphedwe. 13 Pomwe lamuloli lidaikhidwa, adziwi wentse akhafuna kuphedwa ndipo Daniyeli pabodzi na anzace adanyang’anidwambo kuti aphedwe.
14 Tenepo, Daniyeli adalewalewa na Ariyoki mwakusamala na mwanzeru. Ariyoki akhali mkulu wa alindiri wa mambo ndipo akhadayenda kukapha adziwi wa ku Babiloniya. 15 Iye adabvunza Ariyoki mkulu wa alindiri wa mamboyo kuti: “Thangwe ranyi mambo waikha lamulo lakuipali?” Tenepo Ariyoki adafotokozera Daniyeli bza nkhaniyo. 16 Ndipo Daniyeli adayenda kwa mambo, acikamukumbira kuti amupase nthawe yakuti amuthumbudzulire maloto yaceyo.
17 Patsogolo pace Daniyeli adayenda kumui ndipo adakauza anzace bza nkhaniyo. Anzacewo akhali Hananiya, Misayeli na Azariya. 18 Iye adawakumbira kuti iwo apembe kuna Mulungu kuti awacitire ntsisi na kuwazimbulira cintsintsico, kuti Daniyeli pabodzi na anzacewo aleke kuphedwa pabodzi na adziwi wentse wa ku Babiloniya.
19 Tenepo cintsintsico cidazimbulidwa kwa Daniyeli m’masomphenya usiku, ndipopa Daniyeli adatumbiza Mulungu wakudzulu. 20 Daniyeli adati:
“Dzina la Mulungu litumbizidwe mpaka kale-kale,
Pakuti ndiye yekha omwe ana nzeru na mphanvu.
21 Iye ambacinja nthawe na nyengo,
Ambacosa amambo aciikha amambo,
Ambapasa nzeru adziwi ndipo ambaperekambo cidziwiso kwa wale omwe mbakuzindikira.
22 Iye ambazimbula bzinthu bzakuzika na bzinthu bzakubisika,
Ambadziwa bzomwe bziri mu mdima,
Ndipo komwe iye ali kuna ceza.
23 Ndikukutendani ndipo ndikukutumbizani imwe Mulungu wa makolo yangu yakale,
Thangwe mwandipasa nzeru na mphanvu,
Ndipo tsapano mwandizimbulira bzomwe tidakukumbirani;
Imwepo mwatizimbulira bzinthu bzomwe bzikupasa thupo mambo.”
24 Tenepo, Daniyeli adakanyang’ana Ariyoki omwe akhadauzidwa na mambo kuti aphe adziwi wa ku Babiloniya ndipo adakamuuza kuti: “Lekani kupha mdziwi ali-wentse wa mu Babiloniya. Ndiyendeseni kwa mamboyo ndipo ninkamuthumbudzulira maloto yace.”
25 Ariyoki adatenga Daniyeli mwakamfulumize aciyenda naye kwa mambo, acimuuza kuti: “Ndagumana mwamuna munango pakati pa akapolo omwe adatengedwa ku Djuda, omwe angakuthumbudzulireni imwe mambo bzomwe mwalota.” 26 Mamboyo adabvunza Daniyeli omwe akhadapasidwa dzina lakuti Beltisazari kuti: “N’cadidi kuti iwepo ungakwanise kundiuza bzomwe ndalota na kundithumbudzulira?” 27 Daniyeli adatawira mamboyo kuti: “Palibe adziwi, anyakulewalewa na mizimu, antsembe wakucita bzamatsenga ayai anyakuvima mwakuphatisa basa nyenyezi omwe angakwanise kukuzimbulirani bzomwe imwepo mambo mun’funa kudziwa. 28 Tsono alipo Mulungu kudzulu, omwe ambazimbula bzinthu bzakubisika* ndipo iye wakuzimbulirani mambo Nabukadinazori bzomwe bzin’dzacitika kuphampha kwa ntsiku zakumalizira. Bzomwe mwalota m’maloto yanu pomwe mukhadagona pa kama panu ni ibzi:
29 “Pomwe imwepo mambo mukhadagona pa kama panu, mudalota* bzomwe bzin’dzacitika kutsogolo ndipo ule omwe ambazimbula cintsintsi wakuzimbulirani bzomwe bzin’dzacitikabzo. 30 Cintsintsi cimweci cazimbulidwa kwa inepano, sikuti thangwe inepano ndina nzeru kuposa wanthu winango, koma cazimbulidwa kuti ndikuthumbudzulireni bzomwe bzikhabwera m’makumbukidwe mwanu imwe mambo.
31 “Imwe mambo, pomwe imwepo mukhanyang’anisisa, mudawona cifanikiso cikulu kwene-kwene. Cifanikiso cimweci cikhadaima patsogolo panu ndipo cikhali cikulu na cakuyetima kwene-kwene, ndipo mawonekedwe yace yakhapasa mantha kwene-kwene. 32 Msolo wa cifanikisoco ukhali wa oro yabwino, nkhombe yace* na manja yace bzikhali bza prata,* ndipo mimba yace na ntcafu zace bzikhali bza mkuwa,* 33 minyendo yace ikhali ya simbi ndipo bzithatha bzace bzikhali bza simbi yakusanganizidwa na dongo.* 34 Pomwe imwepo mukhanyang’anisisa, mwala udagwatidwa m’phiri, sikuti na manja ya munthu, ndipo udabwera kudzamenya bzithatha bza* cifanikisoco bzomwe bzikhali bza simbi yakusanganizidwa na dongo ucibziphwanyiratu. 35 Pa nthawe imweyoletu, simbiyo, dongo, mkuwa, prata na oro bzidaphwanyika kabodzi na kabodzi bzicikhala ninga mungu omwe ukumbuluka pa mbuwa m’cirimo, ndipo mphepo idabzimbulusa mwakuti bziribe kuwoneka pomwe. Tsono mwala omwe udamenya cifanikisoco, udasanduka phiri likulu, ucimpsinkha dziko lentse la pantsi.
36 “Maloto yanu njamweya, ndipo tsapano tinkuthumbudzulirani mambo. 37 Imwe mambo, mambo wa amambo, omwe Mulungu wakudzulu adakupasani umambo, mphanvu, ukulu na ulemerero, 38 ndipo m’manja mwanu adakupasani wanthu kuli-kwense komwe iwo ali, ndipo adakupasanimbo bzirombo bzakuthengo na mbalame zakudzulu, omwe adakuikhani kuti mukhale mtongi wa bzinthu bzentsenebzi, imwepo ndimwe msolo wa oro.
39 “Tsono pambuyo pa imwepo, pan’dzabwera umambo bunango bomwe ni bung’ono kwa imwepo; patsogolo pace pan’dzabwera umambo bunango bwacitatu bwa mkuwa bomwe bun’dzatonga dziko lentse la pantsi.
40 “Umambo bwacinai bun’dzakhala bwakulimba ninga simbi, pakuti simbi imbaphwanya na kupeya ciri-centse, umambobo bun’dzaphwanya bucipeya maumambo yentseneya ninga momwe simbi imbacitira.
41 “Ndipo ninga momwe mudawonera kuti minyendo na bzala bza kuminyendo bzikhali bza dongo lakuumbira lakusanganizidwa na simbi, umambobo bun’dzakhala bwakugawika. Tsono ninga momwe mudawonera kuti simbi ikhali yakusanganizika na dongo lakufewa, mbali inango ya umambobo in’dzakhala yakulimba ninga simbi. 42 Pakuti bzala bza kuminyendo bzikhali bza simbi yakusanganizika na dongo, umambobo bun’dzakhala bwakulimba ndipo pa nthawe ibodzi-bodziyo bwakusaya kulimba. 43 Pakuti imwepo mudawona simbi yakusanganizika na dongo lakufewa, mbali zinango* zin’dzasanganizika na wanthu,* tsono iwo an’dzabverana lini ninga momwe bziriri bzakunesa kuti simbi isanganizikane na dongo.
44 “Mu ntsiku za amambo amwewo, Mulungu wakudzulu an’dzaikha* umambo bomwe cipo bucidzapfudzidwa, ndipo umambobo bun’dzapitidwa lini m’mbuto na wanthu winango. Umambobo bun’dzaphwanya bucimalisa maumambo yentseneyo ndipo ndibo bokha bomwe bun’dzakhala mpaka kale-kale, 45 ninga momwe mudawonera kuti mwala udagwatidwa kucokera m’phiri, sikuti na manja ya munthu ndipo mwalayo udaphwanya simbi, mkuwa, dongo, prata na oro. Imwe mambo, Mulungu Mkulu wakuzimbulirani bzinthu bzomwe bzin’dzacitika kutsogolo. Malotoya njacadidi ndipo kuthumbudzula kwace n’kwakukhulupirika.”
46 Tenepo, mambo Nabukadinazori adagodama ndipo adatsulima mpaka nkhope yace pantsi patsogolo pa Daniyeli acimulemekeza. Ndipo iye adatonga kuti Daniyeliyo apasidwe mphaso na bzakufukiza bzakununtcirisa. 47 Ndipo mamboyo adauza Daniyeli kuti: “Kulewa cadidi, Mulungu wanu ni Mulungu wa mirungu, Mbuya wa amambo na Nyakuzimbula cintsintsi, thangwe iwepo wakwanisa kuzimbula cintsintsici.” 48 Na tenepo, mamboyo adapasa Daniyeli udindo bwapadzulu na mphaso zizinji zabwino, ndipo adamuikha kukhala mtongi wa cigawo centse ca Babiloniya na mkulu wa akulu-akulu wa adziwi wentse wa m’Babiloniya. 49 Ndipo Daniyeli adakumbira mambo kuti asankhule Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego kuti akhalembo anyakunyang’anira cigawo ca Babiloniya, tsono Daniyeliyo akhatumikira pa nyumba ya mambo.
