12 Yathi kum, Musa ukoyika, Daniyeli, kuba kususela kumhla wokuqala, owayinikelayo intliziyo yakho ekuqondeni nasekuzithobeni phambi koThixo wakho, aviwa amazwi akho, mna ke ndize ngenxa yamazwi akho.
13 Ke umthetheli wobukumkani bamaPersi wamelana nam imihla engamashumi amabini anamanye; uyabona, uMikayeli,* omnye wakubathetheli abaziintloko, weza kundinceda; mna ndamoyisa khona, kookumkani bamaPersi.
14 Ndize kukuqondisa ke okuya kubahlela abantu bakowenu ekupheleni kwemihla; kuba umbono lo usengowemihla leyo.
15 Ithe ekuthetheni kwayo nam ngokwala mazwi, ndabubhekisa ubuso bam emhlabeni, ndasisidenge.
16 Nanko ofana noonyana babantu, echukumisa umlomo wam. Ndawuvula umlomo wam, ndathetha, ndathi kulo umi phambi kwam, Nkosi yam, ngenxa yembonakalo indifikele inimba yam, ndaphelelwa ngamandla.
17 Angáthini na ke ukuba nako umkhonzi wenkosi yam le, ukuthetha nenkosi yam le? Mna okwam àndisenamandla, akusekho mphefumlo kum.
18 Waphinda wandichukumisa onjengomntu, ukubonakala kwakhe, wandomeleza.
