8 Ke kaloku, uDaniyeli wayegqibe entliziyweni yakhe, ukuba angàzingcolisi ngokudla kokumkani nangewayini ayiselayo; wacela kumthetheli-mathenwa ukuba angàzingcolisi.
9 UThixo wenza uDaniyeli ukuba afumane inceba nemfesane phambi komthetheli-mathenwa.
10 Umthetheli-mathenwa wathi kuDaniyeli, Ndiyayoyika inkosi yam ukumkani, omise eniya kukudla neniya kukusela; yini na ukuba abubone ubuso benu buthe matshamatsha kunobabayá baziintanga zenu? Noyizekisa ityala intloko yam kukumkani.
11 Wathi uDaniyeli kwinjoli, abethe umthetheli-mathenwa wayimisa phezu koDaniyeli, noHananiya, noMishayeli, noAzariya,
12 Khawubalinge abakhonzi bakho iintsuku ezilishumi, sinikwe sidle imifuno, sisele namanzi;
13 kukhangelwe phambi kwakho ukubonakala kwethu, nokubonakala kwabantwana abadla ukudla kokumkani; wenze ke kubakhonzi bakho njengoko uboné ngako.
14 Yabaphulaphula ke kweli lizwi, yabalinga iintsuku ezilishumi.
