1 Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaBelishasari, inkosi yaseBabele, uDaniyeli wabona iphupho nemibono yekhanda lakhe embhedeni wakhe, waliloba iphupho, walanda inhloko yezindaba.
2 UDaniyeli wathatha wathi: “Ngabona embonweni wami ebusuku; bheka, imimoya yomine yezulu yavumbuluka elwandle olukhulu.
3 Izilo ezine ezinkulu zakhuphuka elwandle, zahlukile esinye kwesinye.
4 “Esokuqala sasinjengengonyama, sinamaphiko okhozi; ngabheka aze ahluthwa amaphiko aso, saphakanyiswa emhlabeni, samiswa ngezinyawo ezimbili njengomuntu, sanikwa inhliziyo yomuntu.
5 “Bheka, esinye isilo, esesibili, sinjengebhere,* samiswa ngolunye uhlangothi, izimbambo ezintathu zisemlonyeni waso phakathi kwamazinyo aso; kwathiwa kuso: ‘Vuka, udle inyama eningi.’
6 “Emva kwalokho ngabona; bheka, esinye, sinjengengwe, sinamaphiko amane enyoni emhlane; isilo sasinamakhanda amane, sanikwa ukubusa.
