24 Waza wathuma, kwavela kuye oko kuphela kwesandla, lo mbhalo ke wàwubhaliwe.
25 Nangu ke loo mbhalo wàwubhaliwe: MENE, MENE, TEKELE, UFARSIN.
26 Nanku ukutyhilwa kwale nto: elokuba MENE lithi, UThixo ububalile ubukumkani bakho, wabuphelisa.
27 Elokuba TEKELE lithi, Wena ulinganisiwe esikalini,* wafunyanwa ulula.
28 Elokuba PERES lithi, Buyahlulwa ubukumkani bakho, bunikwe amaMedi namaPersi.
29 Waza uBheleshatsare wayalela, bamnxiba uDaniyeli iingubo ezimfusa, nomxokelelwane wegolide emqaleni wakhe; bamemeza ngaye ngelithi, úya kuba ngowabathathu onegunya ebukumkanini.
30 Kwangobo busuku wabulawa uBheleshatsare ukumkani wamaKaledi.
