15 None bamaze kunzanira abanyabwenge n’abapfumu kugira ngo basome iriya nyandiko bayinsobanurire, ariko ntibabishoboye.

16 Ahubwo bambwiye ko ari wowe ubasha gusobanura amayobera no gutanga ibisubizo by’ibyananiranye. None rero niba ushobora gusoma iyi nyandiko ukayinsobanurira, urambikwa imyambaro y’agaciro n’umukufi w’izahabu mu ijosi, kandi uhabwe umwanya wa gatatu mu bwami bwanjye.”

17 Nuko Daniyeli asubiza umwami ati: “Impano ushaka kumpa uzigumanire, n’ibihembo wangeneye ubihe abandi! Nyamara iriya nyandiko ndayigusomera nyigusobanurire.

18 Nyagasani, dore Imana Isumbabyose yahaye umukurambere wawe Nebukadinezari kwima ingoma no gukomera, imuha n’ikuzo n’icyubahiro.

19 Kubera ibyo, abantu b’amoko yose n’ab’amahanga yose n’abavuga indimi izo ari zo zose, baramutinyaga bakagira ubwoba. Yaricaga agakiza, yagabiraga uwo ashatse, akanyaga uwo ashatse.

20 Ariko yaje kwishyira hejuru arinangira ahinduka umunyagasuzuguro, kubera ibyo avanwa ku ngoma yamburwa n’ikuzo.

22 Nawe Belishazari wamusimbuye ku ngoma, ibyo byose warabimenye nyamara ntiwicishije bugufi.

23 Dore wasuzuguye Nyagasani nyir’ijuru, watumije ibikoresho byo mu Ngoro ye, wowe n’ibikomangoma n’abagore bawe n’inshoreke zawe mubinywesha divayi. Wasingije ibigirwamana bikozwe mu ifeza no mu izahabu, no mu muringa no mu cyuma, no mu giti no mu ibuye kandi bitabona ntibyumve, ntibigire n’ubwenge! Ariko Imana ikubeshejeho ikagenga n’imibereho yawe, ntiwigeze uyihesha ikuzo.

24 Ni cyo cyatumye yohereza ikiganza kikandika iriya nyandiko.

25 “Reka nyigusomere. MENE MENE TEKELI na PARESINI.

26 Dore igisobanuro cyayo: MENE risobanurwa ngo ‘Imana yabaze imyaka umaze ku ngoma iyishyiraho iherezo’.

28 PARESINI risobanurwa ngo ‘ingoma yawe yiciyemo ibice, igabijwe Abamedi n’Abaperesi’ ”.

29 Nuko Belishazari ategeka ko bambika Daniyeli imyambaro y’agaciro n’umukufi w’izahabu mu ijosi, batangaza ko ahawe umwanya wa gatatu mu bwami.
