UDaniyeli 7 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

7 ¹Ngonyaka wokuqala kaBelishazari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uDaniyeli waphupha iphupho wabona imibono ekhanda lakhe esembhedeni wakhe. Waliloba iphupho, wafingqa izindaba.

²UDaniyeli wathi: Embonweni wami wasebusuku ngabona imimoya emine yezulu iphehla ulwandle olukhulu. ³Kwase kuphuma izilo ezine ezinkulu olwandle, yileso naleso sahlukene nezinye.

⁴Esokuqala sasinjengebhubesi, sinamaphiko okhozi. Ngabuka amaphiko aso aze ahlephulwa; saphakanyiswa phansi emhlabeni, samiswa ngezinyawo ezimbili njengomuntu, sanikwa inhliziyo yomuntu.

⁵Kwavela esinye isilo sesibili, sinjengebhere, siphakanyiselwe ohlangothini olulodwa, sinezimbambo ezintathu emlonyeni waso phakathi kwamazinyo aso. Satshelwa kwathiwa: “Vuka, udle inyama eningi.”

⁶Emva kwalokho ngabuka: kwavela esinye isilo, sinjengengwe, sinamaphiko amane enyoni emhlane waso, sinamakhanda amane, sanikwa amandla okubusa.

⁷Emva kwalokho, embonweni wami wasebusuku, kwavela isilo sesine—esesabekayo, esishaqisayo, esinamandla amakhulu kakhulu, sinamazinyo amakhulu ensimbi. Sadla, sachoboza, sanyathela okunye phansi ngezinyawo, sahlukile kuzo zonke izilo ezazingaphambi kwaso, sinezimpondo eziyishumi. ⁸Ngisabuka izimpondo, kwavela olunye—uphondo oluncane—phakathi kwazo, kwase kusishulwa izimpondo ezintathu zezokuqala phambi kwalo. Lwalunamehlo anjengamehlo omuntu nomlomo owawukhuluma ngokuzigabisa.

⁹Ngisabuka, kwamiswa izihlalo zobukhosi, uMdala Wezinsuku, uBaba wethu, wahlala esihlalweni sakhe. Izingubo zakhe zazimhlophe njengeqhwa; izinwele zekhanda lakhe zazinjengoboya obumsulwa. Isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sasivutha umlilo, amasondo aso evutha wonke. ^a a v9 UMdala Wezinsuku ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sokwahlulela nguBaba wethu — yiwo kanye lo mbono wesihlalo sobukhosi uJohane awubona kamuva kweyeSambulo. ¹⁰Umfula womlilo wageleza uphuma, ugobhoza uvela phambi kwakhe. Izinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zamkhonza, nezinkulungwane eziyishumi phezu kwezinkulungwane eziyishumi zema phambi kwakhe. Inkantolo yahlala, kwavulwa izincwadi.

¹¹Ngabuka ngenxa yamazwi okuzigabisa uphondo olwawakhuluma; ngabuka saze isilo sabulawa, umzimba waso wachithwa wanikelwa emlilweni ovuthayo. ¹²Ezinye izilo zaphucwa amandla kodwa ukuphila kwazo kwelulwa isikhathi nenkathi emisiwe.

¹³Embonweni wami wasebusuku ngabuka, bheka, phambi kwami kwakukhona othile onjengendodana yomuntu, eza namafu ezulu. Wasondela kuMdala Wezinsuku, uBaba wethu, waholelwa phambi kwakhe. ^b b v13 UJesu wathi lo mbono ungowakhe — “niyakuyibona iNdodana yomuntu … iza namafu ezulu” (uMarku 14:62) — kanti uJohane umbona “othile onjengendodana yomuntu” (isAmbulo 1:13). Lapha iNdodana iza phambi kukaBaba, yamukele umbuso ongunaphakade. ¹⁴Wanikwa amandla, inkazimulo, nombuso, ukuze zonke izizwe, nezizwana, nezilimi zimkhonze. Ukubusa kwakhe kungukubusa okungunaphakade okungayikudlula, nombuso wakhe ongeke neze uchithwe.

Umbono Uyachazwa

¹⁵Mina Daniyeli, ngakhathazeka emoyeni wami, nemibono eyadlula engqondweni yami yangethusa. ¹⁶Ngasondela komunye walabo ababemi lapho, ngambuza iqiniso ngakho konke lokhu. Wangitshela, wembula incazelo yakho.

¹⁷“Lezi zilo ezine ezinkulu angamakhosi amane ayovela emhlabeni. ¹⁸Kodwa abangcwele boPhezukonke, uBaba wethu, bayakwamukela umbuso bawuthathe kuze kube phakade, phakade naphakade.

¹⁹Ngase ngifuna iqiniso ngesilo sesine, esasihlukile kuzo zonke—esesabeka kakhulu, sinamazinyo ensimbi, sinezinzipho zethusi—esadla, sachoboza, sanyathela okwakusele phansi ngezinyawo. ²⁰Ngaphinde ngafuna ukwazi ngezimpondo eziyishumi ezazisekhanda laso, nolunye uphondo olwavela, okwawa izintathu phambi kwalo—uphondo olunamehlo nomlomo wokuzigabisa, olwalubonakala lukhulu kunezinye. ²¹Ngisabuka, lolu phondo lwalulwa nabangcwele, lwalubanqoba, ²²kwaze kwafika uMdala Wezinsuku, uBaba wethu, ukwahlulela kwanikwa abangcwele boPhezukonke, uBaba wethu, sase sifika isikhathi sabangcwele sokuthatha umbuso.”

²³Wathi: “Isilo sesine ngumbuso wesine emhlabeni, ongafani neyonke eminye imibuso. Uyakudla, unyathele, uchoboze umhlaba wonke. ²⁴Izimpondo eziyishumi: amakhosi ayishumi ayakuvela kulo mbuso. Emva kwawo kuyakuvela enye, ehlukile kwawokuqala, inqobe amakhosi amathathu. ²⁵Uyakukhuluma amazwi aphambene noPhezukonke, uBaba wethu, acindezele abangcwele boPhezukonke, uBaba wethu, azame ukushintsha izikhathi ezimisiwe nomthetho. Abangcwele bayakunikelwa esandleni sakhe isikhathi, nezikhathi, nenxenye yesikhathi. ^c c v25 “Isikhathi, nezikhathi, nenxenye yesikhathi” kusho iminyaka emithathu nengxenye: unyaka owodwa + iminyaka emibili + ingxenye yonyaka.

²⁶Kodwa inkantolo iyakuhlala yahlulele, ukubusa kwakhe kususwe, kuqedwe kuchithwe kuze kube phakade. ²⁷Umbuso, nokubusa, nobukhulu bayo yonke imibuso engaphansi kwezulu kuyakunikwa abantu, abangcwele boPhezukonke, uBaba wethu. Umbuso wakhe ungumbuso ongenampelo; bonke ababusi bayakumkhonza bamlalele.”

²⁸Lapha iphela indaba. Mina Daniyeli—imicabango yami yangethusa, ubuso bami baphaphatheka, kodwa ngakugcina kimi.
