Daniyeli

6 Dariyo abona ko ari vyiza kugena ivyegera vyiwe 120 mu bwami bwiwe bwose+. 2 Hejuru yabo hari abakuru batatu, kandi Daniyeli yari umwe muri bo+. Ivyo vyegera vy’umwami+ vyaza biratanga raporo kuri abo batatu, kugira ngo umwami ntahahombere. 3 Daniyeli yarerekana ko abishoboye kuruta abo bandi bakuru n’ivyo vyegera vy’umwami, kuko yari afise ubushobozi* budasanzwe+, kandi umwami yashaka kumuha kuganza ubwami bwose.

4 Ico gihe, abategetsi bakurubakuru n’ivyegera vy’umwami baguma barondera ivyo bagiriza Daniyeli ku bijanye n’ibibazo vy’igihugu*, ariko nta mvo n’imwe canke ikosa na rimwe baronse, kuko yari umwizigirwa kandi ntiyafata ibintu minenegwe canke ngo akore amanyanga. 5 Abo bagabo baca bavugana bati: «Ntituzoronka ikintu na kimwe twagiriza Daniyeli, kiretse tukirondeye mu mategeko y’Imana yiwe+.»

6 Abo bategetsi bakurubakuru n’ivyegera vy’umwami baca binjira ari umugwi aho umwami ari, bamubwira bati: «Ewe mwami Dariyo, nuhangame ibihe vyose! 7 Abatware bose bo mu bwami, ivyariho, ivyegera vy’umwami, abategetsi bakurubakuru b’i bwami na ba buramatari bose, bumvikanye ko hashirwaho itegeko ry’umwami kandi hagashirwaho uyu muziro: mu kiringo c’imisi 30, umuntu wese azosenga* iyindi mana canke uwundi muntu kiretse wewe mwami, azoca atererwa mu kinogo c’intambwe+. 8 Ubu rero mwami, nushireho iryo tegeko kandi uritereko umukono+ kugira ntirize rihinduke, kuko amategeko y’Abamedi n’Abaperesi adashobora gufutwa+.»

9 Umwami Dariyo aca atera umukono kuri iryo tegeko n’uwo muziro.

10 Daniyeli acumva ko iryo tegeko ryateweko umukono, aca arataha, kandi icumba ciwe co hejuru cari gifise amadirisha araba i Yeruzalemu+. Gatatu ku musi yarapfukama agasenga, akongera agashemeza Imana yiwe nk’uko yari asanzwe abigira. 11 Muri ako kanya, ba bagabo baciye binjira bukwi na bukwi, basanga Daniyeli ariko arasenga yongera atakambira Imana yiwe ngo imugirire ubutoni.

12 Baca baja kuraba umwami, maze bamwibutsa rya tegeko yashiraho bati: «Mbega ntiwashize umukono kw’itegeko rivuga ko mu kiringo c’imisi 30, umuntu wese azosenga iyindi mana canke uwundi muntu kiretse wewe mwami, azoca atererwa mu kinogo c’intambwe?» Umwami abishura ati: «Ico kintu carashinzwe, hisunzwe amategeko y’Abamedi n’Abaperesi adashobora gufutwa+.» 13 Ubwo nyene baca babwira umwami bati: «Daniyeli wo mu Bayuda bari mu bunyagano+, ntiyakwubashe na gato mwami, canke ngo yubahe itegeko washizeko umukono. Aguma asenga Imana yiwe gatatugatatu ku musi+.» 14 Umwami avyumvise biramubabaza cane, aca atangura kwiyumvira ingene yokiza Daniyeli. Aguma akora ibishoboka vyose kugira amukize, gushika izuba rirenze. 15 Vyakabaye kera, abo bagabo binjira ari umugwi aho umwami ari, maze bamubwira bati: «Ewe mwami, wibuke ko amategeko y’Abamedi n’Abaperesi avuga ko umuziro canke itegeko bishinzwe n’umwami bidashobora guhindurwa+.»

16 Umwami aca atanga itegeko, maze bazana Daniyeli bamuterera muri ca kinogo c’intambwe+. Umwami abwira Daniyeli ati: «Imana yawe wama usenga* iragukiza.» 17 Hanyuma bazana ibuye barishira ku munwa w’ico kinogo, umwami aca arishirako ikidodo akoresheje impeta yiwe n’impeta y’abanyacubahiro biwe, kugira ntihagire igihindurwa ku bijanye na Daniyeli.

18 Umwami aca aja ku kirimba ciwe, amara iryo joro yisonzesheje, ntiyemera ikintu na kimwe co kumunezereza* kandi ntiyatora agatiro*. 19 Araheza azinduka mu gaturuturu, aja kuri ca kinogo kirimwo intambwe. 20 Yegereye ico kinogo, ahamagara Daniyeli n’ijwi ry’umubabaro, amubaza ati: «Ewe Daniyeli, musavyi w’Imana nzima, mbega Imana yawe wama usenga yashoboye kugukiza izo ntambwe?» 21 Daniyeli amwishura ati: «Ewe mwami, nuhangame ibihe vyose! 22 Imana yanje yarungitse umumarayika wayo, azibira akanwa k’izi ntambwe+. Nta na kimwe zangize+ kuko ndi intungane imbere yayo, kandi na wewe nta kibi nagukoreye mwami.»

23 Umwami aca araryoherwa cane, maze ategeka ko bakura Daniyeli muri ico kinogo. Bamukuyeyo, basanga nta na kimwe yabaye, kuko yari yizigiye Imana yiwe+.

24 Umwami aca atanga itegeko, maze bazana ba bagabo bari bareze Daniyeli, baraheza babaterera muri ico kinogo c’intambwe, bari kumwe n’abana babo n’abagore babo. Bataranashika hasi, za ntambwe zibasamira mu kirere, zijanjagura amagufa yabo+.

25 Umwami Dariyo aca yandikira abantu baba kw’isi yose bo mu moko yose, mu mahanga yose n’indimi zitandukanye+, ababwira ati: «Nimugire amahoro menshi! 26 Ntanze itegeko ry’uko ahantu hose mu bwami bwanje, abantu bakwiye kujugumira imbere y’Imana ya Daniyeli+, kuko ari Imana nzima kandi yamaho. Ubwami bwayo ntibuzokwigera busenyurwa, kandi ubutegetsi* bwayo ni ubw’ibihe vyose+. 27 Irarokora+, igakiza, igakora ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza mw’ijuru no kw’isi+, kuko yarokoye Daniyeli ikamukura mu vyara vy’intambwe.»

28 Daniyeli rero araroranirwa ku ngoma ya Dariyo+ no ku ngoma ya Kuro Umuperesi+.
