Daniyeli

5 Umwami Belushazari+ yateguriye inzimano idasanzwe abantu igihumbi bo mu banyacubahiro biwe, kandi yariko aranywa umuvinyu imbere yabo+. 2 Umuvinyu umaze kumushika, Belushazari yaciye atanga itegeko ry’uko bazana ibikoresho vy’inzahabu n’ivy’ifeza se wiwe Nebukadinezari yari yarakuye mu rusengero rw’i Yeruzalemu+, kugira ngo umwami, abanyacubahiro biwe, incoreke ziwe n’abagore biwe batoyi babinyweremwo. 3 Baca bazana ibikoresho vy’inzahabu bari barakuye aheranda mu nzu y’Imana i Yeruzalemu, maze umwami, abanyacubahiro biwe, incoreke ziwe n’abagore biwe batoyi babinyweramwo. 4 Nuko banywa umuvinyu bongera bashemeza imana z’inzahabu n’iz’ifeza, iz’umujumpu n’iz’icuma, iz’ibiti n’iz’amabuye.

5 Ubwo nyene haca haboneka intoke z’ukuboko kw’umuntu, zitangura kwandika ku ruhome* rw’ikirimba c’umwami, iruhande y’ico baterekako amatara, kandi umwami yarabona ukwo kuboko kuriko kurandika. 6 Umwami aca arijirwa*, ivyiyumviro vyiwe bimutera ubwoba, arajugumira mu mafyinga+, amavi yiwe na yo atangura kudegedwa.

7 Umwami aca arasemerera ngo bazane abapfumu*, Abakaludaya* n’abaragurisha inyenyeri+. Maze abwira incabwenge* z’i Babiloni ati: «Umuntu wese aza gusoma ibi bintu kandi akambwira insobanuro yavyo, azoca yambikwa impuzu y’umuyugubwe* n’umugufu w’inzahabu mw’izosi+, kandi azoca aba umutegetsi agira gatatu mu bwami+.»

8 Incabwenge z’umwami zose zica ziraza, ariko ntizashoboye kumusomera ivyo bintu canke kumubwira insobanuro yavyo+. 9 Umwami Belushazari aca agira ubwoba bwinshi, arijirwa mu maso, abanyacubahiro biwe na bo barazazanirwa+.

10 Umwamikazi yumvise amajambo y’umwami n’abanyacubahiro biwe, aca yinjira ahariko habera umusi mukuru. Abwira umwami ati: «Ewe mwami, nuhangame ibihe vyose! Ntureke ngo ivyiyumviro vyawe bigutere ubwoba canke ngo wijirwe mu maso. 11 Mu bwami bwawe hariho umuntu* afise impwemu ya za mana nyeranda. Ku ngoma ya so wawe, vyaragaragaye ko abona kure be n’uko afise ugutahura* n’ubukerebutsi nk’ubwa za mana+. Umwami Nebukadinezari ari we so wawe, yaramugenye ngo abe umukuru w’abaherezi bakora ivy’amageza, abapfumu, Abakaludaya n’abaragurisha inyenyeri+. Emwe, so wawe yaramugenye mwami. 12 Nkako Daniyeli, uwo umwami yise Beluteshazari+, yari afise impwemu idasanzwe, ubumenyi n’ugutahura bituma ashobora gusobanura indoto, gusigura ibintu bifobetse no gutorera umuti ibibazo bigoye*+. Nutumeko rero Daniyeli, na we arakubwira insobanuro yavyo.»

13 Baca bazana Daniyeli imbere y’umwami. Umwami amubaza ati: «Ni wewe Daniyeli wo mu Bayuda bari mu bunyagano+, dawe umwami yakuye mu Buyuda+? 14 Narumvise ko impwemu ya za mana iri muri wewe+, be n’uko ubona kure kandi ko ufise ugutahura n’ubukerebutsi budasanzwe+. 15 Banzaniye incabwenge n’abapfumu ngo bansomere ibi bintu, bambwire n’insobanuro yavyo, ariko ntibashoboye kumbwira insobanuro y’ubwo butumwa+. 16 Ariko narumvise ko ushoboye gusobanura ibintu+ no gutorera umuti ibibazo bigoye. Ubu rero niwashobora gusoma ivyo bintu kandi ukambwira insobanuro yavyo, uca wambikwa impuzu y’umuyugubwe n’umugufu w’inzahabu mw’izosi, kandi uca uba umutegetsi agira gatatu mu bwami+.»

17 Daniyeli aca yishura umwami ati: «Urashobora kugumya izo ngabire zawe, iyo mpembo ukayiha abandi. Ariko ndasomera umwami ivyo bintu, ndamubwire n’insobanuro yavyo. 18 Ewe mwami, Imana Musumbavyose yarahaye so wawe Nebukadinezari ubwami, ubukuru, iteka n’icubahiro+. 19 Kubera ubwo bukuru yamuhaye, abantu bo mu moko yose, mu mahanga yose n’indimi zitandukanye barajugumira imbere yiwe+. Uwo ashatse wese yaramwica canke akamukiza, kandi uwo ashatse wese yaramushira hejuru canke akamucisha bugufi+. 20 Ariko igihe yishira hejuru, agakomantaza umutima wiwe kandi agatangura kugira ubwibone+, yarakuwe ku ngoma, yakwa n’iteka ryiwe. 21 Yarirukanywe mu bantu, umutima wiwe uhindurwa nk’uw’igikoko kandi asigara abana n’indogobwa zo mw’ishamba. Yasigaye arisha ivyatsi nk’impfizi z’inka, umubiri wiwe uguma ujobekwa n’urume ruva mw’ijuru, gushika atahuye ko Imana Musumbavyose ari yo iganza ubwami bw’abantu, be n’uko ibuha uwo ishatse wese+.

22 Ariko wewe Belushazari umuhungu wiwe, naho ivyo vyose wabimenye, ntiwicishije bugufi. 23 Ahubwo warirase ku Mukama wo mw’ijuru+, utumako ibikoresho vyo mu nzu yiwe+. Maze wewe n’abanyacubahiro bawe, incoreke zawe n’abagore bawe batoyi munywera umuvinyu muri vyo, muraheza mushemeza imana z’inzahabu n’iz’ifeza, iz’umujumpu n’iz’icuma, iz’ibiti n’iz’amabuye, imana ata co zishobora kubona canke kwumva, kandi ata co zizi+. Ntiwaninahaje ya Mana ifise ububasha ku buzima bwawe+ no ku vyo ukora vyose*. 24 Ni co gituma yarungitse ukuboko ngo kwandike ivyo bintu+. 25 Ibi rero ni vyo vyanditswe: MENE, MENE, TEKELI na PARISINI.

26 Insobanuro yavyo ni iyi: MENE bisobanura ngo “Imana yaharuye imisi y’ubwami bwawe kandi yaburangije+.”

27 TEKELI bisobanura ngo “Wapimwe ku munzane basanga ntukwije ibilo.”

28 PERESI bisobanura ngo “Ubwami bwawe bwagabuwe maze buhabwa Abamedi n’Abaperesi+.”»

29 Belushazari aca atanga itegeko, maze bambika Daniyeli impuzu y’umuyugubwe n’umugufu w’inzahabu mw’izosi. Baraheza batangaza ko agiye kuba umutegetsi agira gatatu mu bwami+.

30 Belushazari umwami w’Umukaludaya aca yicwa muri iryo joro nyene+. 31 Dariyo+ Umumedi aca aba umwami. Yari afise nk’imyaka 62.
