17 Waza uDaniyeli waya endlwini yakhe, wayazísa ooHananiya, noMishayeli, noAzariya, amakholwane akhe, le nto;
18 ukuze bacele imfesane kuThixo wamazulu ngenxa yale mfihlakalo, ukuze bangàtshatyalaliswa uDaniyeli namakholwane akhe, kunye nezinye izilumko zaseBhabheli.
19 Waza wayityhilelwa uDaniyeli loo mfihlakalo ngombono wasebusuku. Waza uDaniyeli wambonga uThixo wamazulu.
20 Wasusela uDaniyeli wathi, Malibongwe igama likaThixo, kususela kunaphakade kude kuse ephakadeni; ngokuba ubulumko nobugorha bona bobakhe.
21 Yena uyawaguqula ke amaxesha neminyaka; uguzula ookumkani, amise ookumkani; unika ubulumko kwizilumko, unika ukwazi kwabakwaziyo ukuqonda.
22 Yena utyhila izinto ezinzulu nezisitheleyo; uyakwazi okusebumnyameni, ukukhanya kuhleli kuye.
23 Ndiya kubulela, Thixo woobawo, ndikuncoma, kuba undiniké ubulumko nobugorha, wandazisa kalokunje oko sibe sikucela kuwe; ngokuba usazísile ngokunje le nto yokumkani.
