1 Kwakholeka kuDariyo ukumisa phezu kobukumkani iirhuluneli ezilikhulu elinamashumi amabini, ukuze zibe sebukumkanini bonke.
2 Wamisa phezu kwazo ezo abongameli babathathu, omnye kubo inguDaniyeli, ukuze iirhuluneli zinike ingxelo kubo, aze ukumkani angabi nankxwaleko.
3 Waza lo Daniyeli wabongamela abongameli nabaziirhuluneli, ngokokuba egqithisele kubongameli ngomoya omhle; ukumkani wacinga ngokummisa phezu kobukumkani bonke.
4 Baza abongameli nabaziirhuluneli bafuna, ukuba bafumane ithuba ngakuDaniyeli mayela nobukumkani. Ke ababanga nako ukufumana nalinye ithuba, nantlondi imbi, ngenxa enokuba ebethembekile; bekungafumaneki nanye imposiso nantlondi imbi kuye.
5 Aza loo madoda athi, Asiyi kufumana nalinye ithuba ngakulo Daniyeli, ngaphandle kokuba silifumane kuye mayela nomthetho woThixo wakhe.
6 Baza abo bangabongameli nabaziirhuluneli beza kukumkani bedlongozela, batsho kuye ukuthi, Kumkani Dariyo, phila ngonaphakade!
