10 Indlovukazi, ngenxa yamazwi enkosi ^at leziphathamandla zayo, yangena endlini yedili ^au. Indlovukazi yaphendula yathi: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini ^av! Imicabango yakho kayingakwethusi ^aw, lokucwebezela kobuso bakho kakungaphenduki ^ax. 11 Kulomuntu embusweni wakho ^ay okulomoya wabonkulunkulu abangcwele kuye ^az; ngoba ensukwini zikayihlo kwatholwa kuye ukukhanya lokuqedisisa lenhlakanipho ^ba, njengenhlakanipho yabonkulunkulu ^bb; ngakho inkosi uNebhukadinezari uyihlo wamenza waba yinduna yezanuse ^bc, yezangoma ^bd, yamaKhaladiya, yabalumbi, uyihlo, nkosi. 12 Ngoba umoya owedlulisileyo, lolwazi, lokuqedisisa ^be, ukuchasisa amaphupho ^bf, lokuchasisa ^bg imizekeliso ^bh, lokutshombulula amafindo, kwatholakala kuye, kuDaniyeli, inkosi eyamutha ibizo elithi uBeliteshazari ^bi.

17 Lapho uDaniyeli waphendula wathi phambi kwenkosi: Izipho zakho kazibe ngezakho ^bx, lemivuzo yakho uyinike omunye. Loba kunjalo ngizayifundela inkosi umbhalo, ngiyazise ingcazelo. 18 Wena nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ^by wanika uNebhukadinezari ^bz uyihlo umbuso ^ca, lobukhulu ^cb, lodumo ^cc, lenkazimulo ^cd. 19 Langenxa yobukhulu amnika bona ^ce, bonke abantu, izizwe, lezindimi ^cf, bathuthumela besaba phambi kwakhe ^cg; lowo ayethanda wambulala, lalowo ayethanda wamgcina ephila, lalowo ayethanda wamphakamisa, lalowo ayethanda wamehlisela phansi ^ch. 20 Kodwa lapho inhliziyo yakhe yaziphakamisa, lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lukhuni ngokuzigqaja, wehliswa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi sombuso ^ci, bamthathela ^cj udumo lwakhe ^ck. 21 Wasexotshwa ebantwaneni babantu ^cl, lenhliziyo yakhe yenziwa yafanana leyenyamazana, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala yaba labobabhemi beganga ^cm; bamdlisa utshani njengenkabi, lomzimba wakhe waba manzi ngamazolo amazulu ^cn, waze wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke uyabusa embusweni wabantu, lokuthi umisa phezu kwawo loba ngubani amthandayo ^co. 22 Wena-ke, ndodana yakhe, Belishazari, kawuyithobisanga inhliziyo yakho ^cp, lanxa ukwazile konke lokhu ^cq. 23 Kodwa uziphakamisile wamelana leNkosi yamazulu ^cr; njalo baletha izitsha zendlu yayo phambi kwakho ^cs; wena-ke, leziphathamandla zakho, omkakho, labafazi bakho abancane, lanathela kuzo iwayini ^ct; udumisile onkulunkulu besiliva, labegolide, abethusi, abensimbi, abesigodo, labelitshe ^cu, abangaboniyo labangezwayo, labangaziyo ^cv; kodwa uNkulunkulu omphefumulo wakho usesandleni sakhe ^cw, lozindlela zakho zonke zingezakhe ^cx, kawumdumisanga ^cy. 24 Khonokho le inhlanekela yesandla yathunywa ivela kuye; lumbhalo wasubhalwa ^cz.

25 Njalo nanku umbhalo owabhalwayo: MENE, MENE, TEKELI, UFARISINI. 26 Nansi ingcazelo yalolulutho: MENE: UNkulunkulu ubalile umbuso wakho, wawuqeda. 27 TEKELI: Ulinganisiwe esilinganisweni, watholwa usilela ^da. 28 UPERESI: Umbuso wakho wehlukanisiwe, wanikwa amaMede ^db lamaPerisiya ^dc. 29 Lapho uBelishazari walaya, basebemgqokisa uDaniyeli ngokuyibubende ^dd, leketane yegolide entanyeni yakhe ^de, basebememezela ngaye ^df ukuthi abe ngumbusi wesithathu embusweni ^dg.
