1Chaka choyamba cha ufumu wa Belisazara wa ku Babuloni, Danieli akugona pa bedi lake analota maloto ndipo anaona masomphenya. Iye analemba malotowo mwachidule.
2Danieli anati, “Mʼmasomphenya anga usiku, ndinaona nyanga yayikulu ikuvunduka ndi mphepo zochokera mbali zonse zinayi za mlengalenga. 3Ndipo mʼnyangayo munatuluka zirombo zazikulu zinayi, chilichonse chosiyana ndi chinzake.
4“Choyamba chinali ngati mkango, ndipo chinali ndi mapiko ngati a chiwombankhanga. Ndinayangʼanitsitsa, kenaka mapiko ake anakhadzuka ndipo chinanyamulidwa ndi kuyimirira ndi miyendo yake iwiri ngati munthu, ndipo anachipatsa mtima wa munthu.
5“Ndipo ndinaona chirombo chachiwiri, chimene chimaoneka ngati chimbalangondo. Chinali chonyamuka mbali imodzi, ndipo chinapana nthiti zitatu mʼkamwa mwake pakati pa mano ake. Anachilamula kuti, ‘Nyamuka, idya nyama yambiri!’
6“Pambuyo pake, ndinaona chirombo china, chimene chinkaoneka ngati kambuku. Pa msana pake chinali ndi mapiko anayi onga a mbalame. Chirombo ichi chinali ndi mitu inayi, ndipo chinapatsidwa mphamvu kuti chilamulire.
7“Zitatha izi, mʼmasomphenya anga usiku, ndinaonanso chirombo chachinayi chitayima patsogolo panga. Chinali choopsa, chochititsa mantha ndi champhamvu kwambiri. Chinali ndi mano akuluakulu a chitsulo. Chimati chikatekedza ndi kumeza adani ake kenaka chinapondereza chilichonse chotsala. Ichi chinali chosiyana ndi zirombo zoyambirira zija, ndipo chinali ndi nyanga khumi.
8“Ndikulingalira za nyangazo, ndinaona nyanga ina, yocheperapo, imene inkatuluka pakati pa zinzake. Zitatu mwa nyanga zoyamba zija zinazulidwa mwa icho. Nyanga iyi inali ndi maso a munthu ndi pakamwa pamene pankayankhula zodzitama.
9“Ine ndikuyangʼanabe ndinaona
“mipando yaufumu ikukhazikitsidwa,
ndipo Mkulu Wachikhalire anakhala pa mpando wake.
Zovala zake zinali zoyera ngati chisanu chowundana;
tsitsi la kumutu kwake linali loyera ngati thonje.
Mpando wake waufumu unali wonga malawi a moto,
ndipo mikombero yake yonse inkayaka moto.
10Mtsinje wa moto unkayenda,
kuchokera patsogolo pake.
Anthu miyandamiyanda ankamutumikira;
ndipo anthu osawerengeka anayima pamaso pake.
Abwalo anakhala malo awo,
ndipo mabuku anatsekulidwa.
11“Ndinapitiriza kuyangʼanitsitsa chifukwa cha mawu odzitamandira amene nyanga ija inkayankhula. Ndili chiyangʼanire choncho chirombo chachinayi chija chinaphedwa ndipo thupi lake linawonongedwa ndi kuponyedwa mʼngʼanjo ya moto. 12Zirombo zina zija zinalandidwa ulamuliro wawo, koma zinaloledwa kukhala ndi moyo kwa kanthawi.
13“Ndikuyangʼanabe zinthu mʼmasomphenya usiku, ndinaona wina ngati mwana wa munthu, akubwera ndi mitambo ya kumwamba. Anayandikira Mkulu Wachikhalire uja. Ena anamuperekeza kwa Iye. 14Anapatsidwa ulamuliro, ulemerero ndi mphamvu za ufumu kuti anthu a mitundu ina yonse, mayiko ndi anthu aziyankhulo zosiyanasiyana apembedze iye. Mphamvu zake ndi mphamvu zamuyaya zimene sizidzatha, ndipo ufumu wake sudzawonongeka konse.
Tanthauzo la Maloto
15“Ine Danieli ndinavutika mu mzimu, ndipo zimene ndinaziona mʼmasomphenya zinandisautsa mʼmaganizo. 16Ndinayandikira mmodzi mwa amene anayima pamenepo ndi kumufunsa tanthauzo lenileni la zonsezi.
“Kotero anandiwuza ndi kundipatsa tanthauzo la zinthu zonse izi: 17‘Zirombo zikuluzikulu zinayi zija ndi maufumu anayi amene adzaoneka pa dziko lapansi. 18Koma oyera mtima a Wammwambamwamba adzalandira ufumu ndipo udzakhala nawo mpaka muyaya, inde ku nthawi zonse.’
19“Kenaka ndinafuna kudziwa tanthauzo lenileni la chirombo chachinayi chija, chimene chinali chosiyana ndi zinzake zonse ndi choopsa kwambiri, cha mano ake achitsulo ndi zikhadabo zamkuwa; chirombo chimene chinapweteka ndi kumeza zinazo ndi kupondaponda chilichonse chimene chinatsala. 20Ndinafunanso kudziwa za nyanga khumi za pa mutu pake ndiponso ina ija, nyanga imene inaphuka pambuyo pake ndi kugwetsa zitatu zija. Imeneyi ndi nyanga ija yokhala ndi maso ndi pakamwa poyankhula modzitamandira, ndipo inkaoneka yayikulu kupambana zina zonse. 21Ndikuyangʼanitsitsa, nyanga imeneyi inathira nkhondo anthu oyera mtima ndi kuwagonjetsa, 22mpaka pamene Mkulu Wachikhalire uja anafika ndi kuweruza mokomera oyera mtima a Wammwambamwamba. Tsono nthawi inafika imene anthu oyera mtimawo analandira ufumu.
23“Tsono anandifotokozera kuti, ‘Chirombo chachinayi chija ndi ufumu wachinayi umene udzaoneka pa dziko lapansi. Udzakhala wosiyana ndi maufumu anzake onse ndipo udzawononga dziko lonse lapansi. Udzalipondaponda ndi kuliphwasula. 24Nyanga khumi zija ndiwo mafumu khumi amene adzatuluka mu ufumu umenewu. Pambuyo pake mfumu ina idzadzuka, yosiyana ndi mafumu a mʼmbuyomu; iyo idzagonjetsa mafumu atatu. 25Idzayankhula motsutsana ndi Wammwambamwamba ndipo adzazunza oyera mtima ndi kusintha masiku azikondwerero ndi malamulo. Oyera mtimawo adzalamulidwa ndi mfumuyi kwa zaka zitatu ndi theka.
26“ ‘Koma bwalo lidzapereka chiweruzo, ndipo mphamvu zake zidzalandidwa ndi kuwonongedwa kotheratu mpaka muyaya. 27Kenaka ulamuliro, mphamvu ndi ukulu wa maufumu pa dziko lonse lapansi zidzaperekedwa kwa oyera mtima, a Wammwambamwamba. Ufumu wawo udzakhala ufumu wosatha, ndipo olamulira onse adzawalamulira ndi kuwamvera.’ ”
28“Apa ndiye pa mapeto pa nkhaniyi. Ine Danieli, ndinasautsidwa kwambiri mʼmaganizo anga, ndipo nkhope yanga inasandulika, koma ndinasunga nkhaniyi mu mtima mwanga.”
