¹ Mu mwaka wa gatatu Yehoyakimuumwami w'Abayuda ari ku ngoma, Nebukadinezariumwami w'i Babuloniyateye i Yerusalemu arahagota.

² Uwiteka Imana amugabiza Yehoyakimuumwami w'Abayuda hamwe n'ibintu bimwe byo mu nzu y'Imana, abijyana mu gihugu cy'i Shinari mu rusengero rw'imana ye, maze abishyira mu nzu y'ububikobwayo.

³ Nukoumwami ategeka Ashipenaziumutware w'inkone ze, kuzanaabana b'abasore bamwe bo mu Bisirayeli bo mu muryango w'umwami, n'ab'imfura bandi

⁴ batagira inenge, ahubwo b'abanyaburanga, b'abahanga mu by'ubwenge bwose, bajijuka mu byo kumenya, b'ingenzuzi mu by'ubwenge, kandi batinyuka guhagarara mu nzu y'umwami, kugirango abigisheubwenge bw'Abakaludayan'ururimirwabo.

⁵ Nukoumwami abategekera igaburo ry'iminsi yose rivuye ku byokurya by'umwami, n'umusawa vinoumwami yanywagaho, kandi ngo babarere imyaka itatu nishira babone guhagarara imbere y'umwami.

⁶ Muri abo bana b'Abayuda harimo Daniyeli na Hananiya, na Mishayeli na Azariya.

⁷ Nuko uwo mutware w'inkone abahimba amazina: Daniyeli amwita Beluteshazari, na Hananiya amwita Saduraka, na Mishayeli amwita Meshaki, na Azariya amwita Abedenego.

⁸ Maze Daniyeli agambirira mu mutimawe kutaziyandurisha ibyokurya by'umwami cyangwa vino yanywaga, ari cyo cyatumye yinginga uwo mutware w'inkone kugirango atiyanduza.

⁹ Kandi Imana yari yatumye Daniyeli atona ku mutware w'inkone, agakundwana we.

¹⁰ Nukoumutware w'inkone abwira Daniyeli ati “Ndatinyaumwami databuja wabategekeye ibyo muzarya n'ibyo muzanywa, kuko nasanga munanutse mudahwanye n'abandi basore mungana, muzabamunshyize mu kaga gatereumwami kunca igihanga.”

¹¹ Nuko Daniyeli aherako abwira igisonga cyari cyategetswe n'umutware w'inkone kureraDaniyeli na Hananiya, na Mishayeli na Azariya ati

¹² “Ndakwinginze gerageza abagaragu bawe iminsi cumi, baduhe ibishyimbo abe ari byo turya n'amazi yo kunywa,

¹³ uzabone gusuzumamu maso hacu n'ah'abandi basore barya ku byokurya by'umwami, ukouzabibona abe ari kouzagenza abagaragu bawe.”

¹⁴ Nuko abyumvise atyo yemera kubagerageza iminsi cumi.

¹⁵ Iyo minsi cumi ishize asanga mu maso habo ari heza, kandi habyibushyekurutaabandi basore bose baryaga ku byokurya by'umwami.

¹⁶ Nuko icyo gisonga kibakura kuri bya byokurya byabo, na vino bari bakwiriye kunywaakajya abaha ibishyimbo.

¹⁷ Maze abo basore uko ari bane, Imana ibaha kujijuka no kuba abahanga mu byo bigishwa no mu by'ubwenge, ariko Daniyeli yagiragaubwenge bwo kumenya ibyerekanwa byose no gusobanura inzozi.

¹⁸ Nuko iyo minsi yo kubazana yategetswe n'Umwami Nebukadinezari ishize,umutware w'inkone ajya kubamumurikira.

¹⁹ Bahagezeumwami aganira na bo, ariko mu bandi bose ntihabonetseuhwanye na Daniyeli na Hananiya, na Mishayeli na Azariya. Ni cyo cyatumye abagira abakozi be.

²⁰ Mu ijambo ryose ry'ubwenge no kumenya, icyoumwami yababazaga, yabonaga barusha abakonikoni n'abapfumu bose bari mu gihugu cye cyose inkubwe cumi.

²¹ Nuko Daniyeli aguma aho, ageza ku mwaka wa mbere Umwami Kūro ari ku ngoma.

¹ Mu mwaka wa kabiri Umwami Nebukadinezari akiri ku ngoma yarose inzozi, nuko ahagarikaumutimantiyarushyaagoheka.

² Umwami aherako ategeka ko bahamagara abakonikoni n'abapfumu, n'abashitsi n'Abakaludayango baze kubwiraumwami ibyo yarose. Nuko baza bitabyeumwami.

³ Umwami arababwira ati “Narose inzozi,umutimawanjyeuhagarikwa no gushaka kuzimenya.”

⁴ Nuko Abakaludayabaherako babwiraumwami mu rurimirw'Urunyarameya bati “Nyagasaniuhoraho iteka ryose. Rotorera abagaragu bawe izo nzozi, tuboneuko dusobanura impamvu zazo.”

⁵ Nukoumwami asubizaAbakaludayaati “Nazibagiwe. Nuko nimutazimbwira ngo muzinsobanurire, muzatemagurwa kandi ingo zanyu zizahindurwa nk'ibyavu.

⁶ Ariko nimumbwira izo nzozi, nzabagororera mbahe impano n'icyubahiro cyinshi. Nuko ngaho nimumbwire izo nzozi n'uko zisobanurwa.”

⁷ Bamusubizaubwa kabiri bati “Umwami narotorere abagaragu be izo nzozi, natwe turazisobanura.”

⁸ Umwami arabasubizaati “Menye rwose ko mushaka kubyirengagiza, kuko mubonye ko nzibagiwe.

⁹ Ariko nimutamenyesha izo nzozi mwese muzategekwa itegeko rimwe, kuko mwagiyeumugambi wo kuza kubeshyera imbere yanjye, mukirengagiza ibyo mbabajije ngo buzacyana ayandi. Cyo nimumbwire izo nzozi menye ko mushobora no kuzisobanura.”

¹⁰ Nuko Abakaludayabasubiriza imbere y'umwami icyarimwe bati “Nta muntu n'umwe wo mu isi wabasha kumenyeshaumwami iryo jambo, kuko nta mwami cyangwaumutware cyangwaumutegeka, wigeze gusobanuzaumukonikoni wese cyangwaumupfumu cyangwa Umukaludayabene iryo jambo.

¹¹ Icyoumwami aduhatiraho kiraruhanije, kandi nta wundi wabasha kucyerekana imbere y'umwami, keretse imana zitabana n'abafite imibiri.”

¹² Ni cyo cyatumyeumwami abarakarirauburakari bukabije. aherako ategeka kurimbura abanyabwenge b'i Babulonibose.

¹³ Nuko ingoma ijya ku nama ngo abanyabwenge bicwe, bajya gushaka Daniyeli na bagenzi be ngo bicwe.

¹⁴ Ariko Daniyeli asubizanya Ariyokiumutware w'abasirikare barindaumwami,ubwenge no kwitonda. Uwo ni we wariugiyekwica abanyabwenge b'i Babuloni.

¹⁵ Abaza Ariyokiumutware w'umwami ati “Ni iki gitumye habaho itegeko ry'ikubagahu rivuye ku mwami?”Nuko Ariyoki abisobanuriraDaniyeli.

¹⁶ Daniyeli aherako asangaumwami, amusabaumunsi ngo azamumenyeshe ibyo yabazaga.

¹⁷ Nuko Daniyeli ajya mu nzu ye, abibwira bagenzi be Hananiya na Mishayeli na Azariya,

¹⁸ kugirango bingingire Imana yo mu ijuru ibyo bihishwe, ngo ibagirire imbabazi batarimburanwa n'abanyabwenge bandi b'i Babuloni.

¹⁹ Nuko ibyo byahishwe bihishurirwa Daniyeli mu nzozi yarose nijoro. Maze Daniyeli ashima Imana yo mu ijuru

²⁰ ati “Izina ry'Imana rihore rihimbazwa iteka ryose, kukoubwenge n'amaboko ari ibyayo.

²¹ Ni yo inyuranya ibihe n'imyaka, ni yo yimūra abami ikimika abandi, igaha abanyabwengeubwenge, n'abazi kwitegereza ikabaha kumenya.

²² Kandi ihishura ibihishwe by'ahatagerwa, izi n'ibyo mu mwijima,umucyoubanana yo.

²³ Ndagushimye, ndaguhimbaza wowe Mana ya ba sogokuruzaumpayeubwenge n'ubushobozi,unsobanuriyeibyo twagusabye kukoutumenyesheje ibyoumwami ashaka.”

²⁴ Nuko Daniyeli ajya kwa Ariyoki, wari wategetswe n'umwami kurimbura abanyabwenge b'i Babuloni, amubwira atya ati “Nturimbure abanyabwenge b'i Babuloni, ahubwounshyireumwami musobanurireibyo ashaka.”

²⁵ Nuko Ariyoki arihuta ajyana Daniyeli ku mwami aramubwira ati “Mbonyeumugabowo mu bantu b'abanyagano b'Abayuda, arabwiraumwami inzozi ze.”

²⁶ Umwami ahindukirira Daniyeli wahimbwe Beluteshazari, aramubazaati “Mbegaurambwira inzozi neretswe n'icyo zisobanura?”

²⁷ Daniyeli asubizaumwami ati “Ibyo bihishweumwami yasobanuzaga, nta banyabwenge babasha kubimenyeshaumwami, cyangwa abapfumu cyangwa abakonikoni cyangwa abacunnyi,

²⁸ ariko mu ijuru hariho Imana ihishura ibihishwe, kandi ni yo yeretse Umwami Nebukadinezari ibizaba mu bihe bizaza. Inzozi n'ibyo werekewe ku gisasiro ni byo ibi:

²⁹ “Nuko ibyawe, nyagasani, watekerezagauryamye ibizaba mu gihe kizaza; Ihishura ibihishwe ni yo yakubwiye ibizaba.

³⁰ Kandi jyeweubwanjye, ibyo bihishwe sinabihishuriwen'uko ndiumunyabwenge kurutaumuntu weseuriho; ahubwo niukugirangoumwami amenyeshwe iby'inzozi ze, amenye n'ibyoumutimawe wibwiraga.

³¹ “Nuko nyagasani, wabonye igishushanyo kinini kandi icyo gishushanyo cyari kinini cyane, kirabagirana cyane. Cyari kiguhagaze imbere, kandi ishusho yacyo ikaba yari iteyeubwoba.

³² Nuko icyo gishushanyoumutwe wacyo wari izahabu nziza, kandi igituza cyacyo n'amaboko yacyo byari ifeza, inda n'ibibero byacyo byari imiringa,

³³ amaguru yacyo yari ibyuma, n'ibirenge byacyo byari igice cy'ibyuma n'icy'ibumba.

³⁴ Urabyitegerezaugezaaho ibuye ryaziye ritarimbuwe n'intoki, ryikubitaku birenge by'icyo gishushanyo by'ibyuma n'ibumba, rirabimenagura.

³⁵ Nuko icyuma n'ibumba n'umuringa, n'ifeza n'izahabu biherako bimenagurikira rimwe, bihinduka nk'umuramaw'aho bahuriramu cyi, bitumurwa n'umuyagantibyagira ishyikizo, maze iryo buye ryakubiseigishushanyo rihindukaumusozimunini, rirangiza isi yose.

³⁶ “Nuko izo ni zo nzozi, kandi turasobanura impamvu zazo aha imbere y'umwami.

³⁷ Nuko wowe nyagasani, uriumwami w'abami. Imana yo mu ijuru yaguhayeubwami n'ubushobozi n'imbaraga n'icyubahiro,

³⁸ yaguhayen'inyamaswa zo mu gasozi n'ibisiga byo mu kirere by'aho abantu baba hose, ibishyira mu kubokokwawe ngoubitegeke byose. Nuko nyagasani, wa mutwe w'izahabu ni wowe.

³⁹ Kandiuzakurikirwa n'ubundi bwami budahwanije n'ubwawe gukomera, kandi hazabaubundi bwami bwa gatatu bw'imiringa butegeke isi yose.

⁴⁰ Arikoubwami bwa kane buzakomera nk'icyuma, kuko ibyuma ari byo bimenagura ibintu byose bikabijanjagura, kandi nk'uko ibyuma bimenagura ibintu byose, ni ko ubwo bwami buzamenagura bukajanjagura butyo.

⁴¹ Kandi nk'uko wabonye ibirenge n'amano ari igice cy'ibumba ry'umubumbyin'igice cy'ibyuma, ni ko ubwo bwami buzigabanyamo, ariko muri bwo hazaba gukomera nk'ibyuma nk'uko wabonye ibyuma bivanzwemo ibumba.

⁴² Kandi nk'uko amano yari igice cy'ibyuma n'igice cy'ibumba, ni ko ubwo bwami buzamera: igice cyabwo kimwe kizaba gikomeye, ikindi kidakomeye.

⁴³ Kandi nk'uko wabonye ibyuma bivanzwemo ibumba, ni ko bazivanga n'urubyaro rw'abantu, ariko ntibazafatana nk'uko ibyuma bitavanga n'ibumba.

⁴⁴ Nuko ku ngoma z'abo bami, Imana yo mu ijuru izimikaubundi bwami butazarimbuka iteka ryose, kandiubutware bwabwo ntibuzazungurwa n'irindi shyanga, ahubwo buzamenagura ubwo bwami bwose bukabutsembaho kandi buzahoraho iteka ryose.

⁴⁵ Uko wabonye ibuye ryavuye ku musoziritarimbuwe n'intoki, rikamenagura ibyuma n'imiringa n'ibumba n'ifeza n'izahabu, ni uko Imana ikomeye yahishuriyeumwami ibizaba mu bihe bizaza. Kandi izo nzozi ni iz'ukuri, no gusobanurwa kwazo ntiguhinyurwa.”

⁴⁶ Nuko Umwami Nebukadinezari aherako yikubitahasi yubamye aramya Daniyeli, ategeka ko bamutambira ibitambo bakamwosereza imibavu.

⁴⁷ Nukoumwami abwira Daniyeli ati “NiukuriImana yanyu ni yo Mana nyamana, niumwami w'abami kandi ni yo ihishura ibihishwe, kuko ishoboye guhishura ibyo byahishwe.”

⁴⁸ Nukoumwami aherako akuza Daniyeli, amugororera ingororano nyinshi zikomeye. Amuha gutwara igihugu cyose cy'i Babuloni, no kubaumutware mukuruw'abanyabwenge bose b'i Babuloni.

⁴⁹ Maze Daniyeli asabira Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenegoubutware bw'igihugu cy'i Babuloni,umwami arabubahaariko Daniyeli we aguma ibwami.

¹ Umwami Nebukadinezari yakoze igishushanyo cy'izahabu,uburebure bwacyo bwari mikono mirongo itandatu,ubugaribwacyo bwari mikono itandatu, agihagarika mu kibaya cya Dura mu gihugu cy'i Babuloni.

² Nuko Umwami Nebukadinezari atuma abantu bo guteranya abatware b'intebe n'ibisonga byabo, n'abanyamategeko n'abacamanza, n'abanyabigega n'abajyanama, n'abirutsi n'abatware bose bo mu bihugu byaho ngo baze kweza icyo gishushanyo Umwami Nebukadinezari yari yahagaritse.

³ Nuko abatware b'intebe n'ibisonga byabo, n'abanyamategeko n'abacamanza, n'abanyabigega n'abajyanama, n'abirutsi n'abatware bose bo mu bihugu byaho baraza, bateranywa no kweza icyo gishushanyo Umwami Nebukadinezari yari yahagaritse. Bahageze bahagarara imbere yacyo.

⁴ Umuntuuhamya itegeko ry'umwami ararangururaati “Yemwe bantu b'amoko yose y'indimi zitari zimwe, nimwumve uko tubategeka,

⁵ ngo nimwumva amajwi y'amahembe n'imyironge n'inanga, n'isambuka n'amabuburan'amakondera n'ibintu by'ubwoko bwose bivuga, muhereko mwubarare hasi muramye igishushanyo cy'izahabu Umwami Nebukadinezari yakoze.

⁶ Arikoumuntu wese wanga kubarara hasi ngo aramye, ako kanya arajugunywamu itanura ry'umurirougurumana.”

⁷ Nuko abantu bose bumvise amajwi y'amahembe n'imyironge n'inanga, n'isambuka n'amabuburan'ibintu by'ubwoko bwose bivuga, ab'amoko yose y'indimi zitari zimwe bubarara hasi, baramya icyo gishushanyo cy'izahabu Umwami Nebukadinezari yari yahagaritse.

⁸ Uwo mwanya Abakaludayabaza kuregaAbayuda.

⁹ Babwira Umwami Nebukadinezari bati “Nyagasani nyaguhoraho,

¹⁰ washyizeho itegeko ngoumuntu wese uri bwumve amajwi y'amahembe n'imyironge n'inanga, n'isambuka n'amabuburan'amakondera n'ibintu by'ubwoko bwose bivuga, yubarare hasi ngo aramye igishushanyo cy'izahabu,

¹¹ ngo n'umuntu wese wanga kubarara hasi ngo akiramye, ajugunywemu itanura ry'umurirougurumana.

¹² Nuko rero, hariho Abayuda wahaye gutwara igihugu cy'i Babuloni, ari bo Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego batakwitayeho nyagasani, ntibakorera imana zawe kandi banze kuramya cya gishushanyo cy'izahabu wahagaritse.”

¹³ Nuko Nebukadinezari ararakara cyane, ategeka ko bamuzanira Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego. Nuko babashyiraumwami.

¹⁴ Nebukadinezari arabakabukanaaravuga ati “Mbese Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego, ni mwe mwabyitumye kudakorera imana zanjye no kutaramya igishushanyo cy'izahabu nakoze?

¹⁵ Nuko noneho nimwumva amajwi y'amahembe n'imyironge n'inanga, n'isambuka n'amabuburan'amakondera n'ibintu by'ubwoko bwose bivuga, mukemera kubarara hasi mukaramya igishushanyo nakoze ni byiza. Ariko nimutakiramya, ako kanya murajugunywamu itanura ry'umurirougurumana. Mbese imana iri bubakize amaboko yanjye ni iyihe?”

¹⁶ Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego basubizaumwami bati “Nebukadinezari, nta mpamvu ituma tugusubizairyo jambo.

¹⁷ Niba ari ibyo, Imana yacu dukorera ibasha kudukizamu itanura ry'umurirougurumana, kandi izadukizaukubokokwawe nyagasani.

¹⁸ Ariko naho itadukiza, nyagasaniumenye ko tutaribukorere imana zawe, habe no kuramya icyo gishushanyo cy'izahabu wakoze.”

¹⁹ Nebukadinezari azabiranywa n'uburakari mu maso he hahindukaukundi, areba Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego igitsure, ategeka ko benyegeza itanura ngo rirushe uko ryari rikwiye kwaka karindwi.

²⁰ Maze atoranya abanyambaraga bo mu ngabo ze, abategeka kubohaSadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego ngo babajugunye mu itanura ry'umurirougurumana.

²¹ Nuko baboha abo bagabo uko bakambaye amafurebon'imyambaro n'imyitero n'ibindi bambaye, babajugunya mu itanura ry'umurirougurumana.

²² Maze kuko itegeko ry'umwami ryari iry'ikubagahu, kandiumurirougurumanacyane, bituma ibirimi by'umurirobisumiraabo bagabo bari bateruye Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego, birabica.

²³ Nuko abo bagabo batatu Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego, bagwa mu itanura ry'umurirougurumanahagati uko bakaboshywe.

²⁴ Uwo mwanya Umwami Nebukadinezari aratangara, ahagurukan'ingoga abaza abajyanama be ati “Harya ntitwajugunye mu muriroabantu batatu baboshywe?”Baramusubizabati “Ni koko, nyagasani.”

²⁵ Arababwira ati “Dore ndareba abantu bane babohowe bagenda mu murirohagati, kandi nta cyo babaye. Ariko ishusho y'uwa kane irasa n'iy'umwana w'Imana.”

²⁶ Nebukadinezari yigira ku muryango w'itanura ry'umurirougurumanaaravuga ati “Yemwe ba Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego, mwa bagaragu b'Imana Isumbabyose mwe, nimusohoke muze hano.”Nuko Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego baherako bava mu muriro.

²⁷ Maze abatware b'intebe n'ibisonga byabo, n'abanyamategeko n'abajyanama b'umwami baraterana bareba abo bagabo, basangaumuriroutashoboye kugiraicyoubatwara, kandiumusatsi wo ku mitwe yaboutababutse, n'imyambaro yabo nta cyo yabaye habe ngo wakumvaumuriroubanukaho.

²⁸ Nebukadinezari aravuga ati “Imana ya Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego ishimwe, ni yo yohereje marayika wayo ikiza abagaragu bayo bayiringiye, kuko bigurukijeijambo ry'umwami bagahara amagara yabo, kugirango batagira indi mana yose bakorera cyangwa basenga itari Imana yabo.

²⁹ “Ni cyo cyatumye nca iteka, kugirangoumuntu wese wo mu moko yose y'indimi zitari zimweuzavuga nabi Imana ya Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego, azatemagurwe kandiurugorwe ruzahindurwe nk'icyavu, kuko ari nta yindi mana ibasha gukizabene aka kageni.”

³⁰ Ibyo bishize,umwami yogeza Sadurakana Meshaki na Abedenego mu gihugu cy'i Babuloni.

³¹ Jyewe Umwami Nebukadinezari ndabandikiye, bantu mwese bo mu moko yose y'indimi zitari zimwe bari mu isi yose. Amahoro agwire muri mwe!

³² Nishimiye kwerura ibimenyetso n'ibitangaza Imana Isumbabyose yankoreye.

³³ Erega ibimenyetso byayo ni byinshi, ibitangaza byayo birakomeye! Ubwami bwayo ni bwo bwami butazashira, kandi ingoma yayo ihoraho uko ibihe bihaye ibindi.

⁴ Abakonikoni n'abapfumu n'Abakaludayan'abacunnyibaraza, mbarotorera izo nzozi ariko bananirwa kuzisobanura.

⁵ Ariko hanyuma Daniyeli wahimbwe Beluteshazari mwitiriye imana yanjye, wababwagamo n'umwuka w'imana zera, araza murotorera izo nzozi nti

⁶ “Yewe Beluteshazari mutware w'abakonikoni, nzi koumwuka w'imana zera aba muri wowe, kandi ko nta bihishweunanirwa guhishura, cyo mbwira ibyo neretswe mu nzozi narose kandi n'uko bisobanurwa.

⁷ “Ibyo neretswe ndi ku gisasiro ni byo ibi: nagiye kubonambona igiti kiri mu isi hagati,uburebure bwacyo bwari bukabije.

⁸ Icyo giti kirakura kirakomera,ubushorishori bwacyo bugeraku ijuru, cyitegera abo ku mpera y'isi yose.

⁹ Ibibabi byacyo byari byiza, cyari gihunze imbuto nyinshi kandi muri cyo harimo ibyokurya bihaza abantu bose. Inyamaswa zo mu ishyamba zahundagaraga mu gicucu cyacyo, ibisiga byo mu kirere byabaga mu mashami yacyo, kandi ibyari bifiteumubiribyose byatungwaga na cyo.

¹⁰ “Ibyo neretswe ndi ku gisasiro ngibi: nabonyeuwerawagizweumurinzi amanuka ava mu ijuru,

¹⁵ “Izo nzozi ni jye Umwami Nebukadinezari wazirose. Nuko Beluteshazari, cyo zinsobanurireubwo abanyabwenge bose bo mu gihugu cyanjye badashoboye kuzinsobanurira, ariko woweurabibasha kukoumwuka w'imana zeraukurimo.”

¹⁶ Nuko Daniyeli wahimbwe Beluteshazari amara akanya yumiwe, ahagarikwaumutiman'ibyo atekereje. Umwami arongera aramubwira ati “Yewe Beluteshazari, izo nzozi no gusobanurwa kwazo bye kuguhagarikaumutima.”Beluteshazari aramusubizaati “Nyagasani, izo nzozi zirakaba ku banzi bawe, kandi gusobanurwa kwazo kurakaba ku babisha bawe.

¹⁷ Nuko icyo giti wabonye gikura kigakomera,ubushorishori bwacyo bukagera ku ijuru, kikitegera abo ku mpera y'isi yose,

²⁵ Nuko ibyo byose bisohora ku Mwami Nebukadinezari.

²⁶ Hashize amezi cumi n'abiri,umwami yari i Babuloniarambagira mu rugo ibwami,

²⁷ aravuga ati “Ngiyi Babulonihakomeye niyubakiye ngo habeumurwa wanjye nturaho, mpubakishije imbaraga z'amaboko yanjye ngo hahesheubwami bwanjye icyubahiro.”

²⁸ Umwami atararangiza ayo magambo haza ijwi rivuye mu ijuru riti “Yewe Mwami Nebukadinezari, ni woweubwirwa. Ubwami bwaweubukuwemo,
