Muchitsauko chegumi, Danieri anogamuchira chiratidzo chake chokupedzisira, uye mukuita kudaro anozivikanwa somunhu anonzwisisa zvose zviratidzo zvouprofita zvomukati nezvokunze. Shoko rechiHebheru rokuti “dabar,” rinoreva “shoko,” rakashandurwa richinzi “chinhu.” Muchitsauko chechipfumbamwe, apo Gabhurieri akauya kuzivisa Danieri kuti anzwisise chiratidzo chemazuva ane zviuru zviviri namazana matatu, shoko rechiHebheru rokuti “dabar” rakashandurwa richinzi “nyaya.”

ඒසේය, මම යාච්ඤාවෙහි කතා කරමින් සිටියදී, ආරම්භයේ දර්ශනයේදී මා දුටු ගබ්‍රියෙල් නම් මනුෂ්‍යයා වේගයෙන් පියාසර කරවා, සන්ධ්‍යා පූජාවේ වේලාවට මා ස්පර්ශ කළේය. ඔහු මට දන්වා, මා සමඟ කතා කරමින් මෙසේ කීවේය: “දානියෙල්, නුඹට ඥානය සහ අවබෝධය දෙන පිණිස මම දැන් පිටත්ව ආවෙමි. නුඹගේ යාච්ඤා ආරම්භයේදීම ආඥාව නික්ම ගියේය; එය නුඹට පෙන්වීමට මම ආවෙමි; මන්ද නුඹ අතිශයින් ප්‍රියකරුය. එබැවින් මේ කාරණය තේරුම්ගෙන දර්ශනය සලකා බලන්න.” දානියෙල් 9:21–23.

When Gabriel told Daniel to “understand the matter, and consider the vision,” the Hebrew word “biyn” was translated as both “understand” and also as “consider.” The word means to mentally separate. Gabriel informed Daniel to make a mental separation between the “dabar” translated as “matter” and the “mareh”, translated as “vision”. In order to understand the interpretation that Gabriel was providing to Daniel concerning the prophecy of twenty-three hundred years, Daniel was to recognize the distinction between the prophetic vision represented as the “matter” and the prophetic “mareh” vision. The “matter”, which is the “dabar,” meaning word, represents the external line of prophecy and the “mareh” vision represents the internal line of prophecy.

Katika sura ya kumi ya Danieli, ukweli wa kwanza unaofunuliwa kwa mwanafunzi wa unabii ni kwamba Danieli anawawakilisha watu wa Mungu katika siku za mwisho wanaoelewa mistari ya unabii ya ndani na ya nje.

Mugore rechitatu rokutonga kwaKoreshi mambo wePersia, chinhu chakazarurirwa Dhanieri, uyo ainzi Bheriteshazari; uye chinhu ichocho chakanga chiri chechokwadi, asi nguva yakatarwa yakanga iri refu; uye akachinzwisisa chinhu ichocho, akava nokunzwisisa kwechiratidzo. Dhanieri 10:1.

“Chinhu” ichocho, ishoko rechiHebheru rinonzi “dabar,” uye “chiratidzo,” ndicho chiratidzo che “mareh.” Sa muporofita, Danieri anomirira vanhu vaMwari vemazuva okupedzisira, avo kuzadziswa kwavo kwakakwana vari zviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina. Gore rechitatu raKoreshi rinoisa Danieri mumutsara werumutsiriro wakatanga panguva yokuguma muna 1989. Mu “mazuva iwayo,” anomirira nhoroondo kubva muna 1989 kusvikira kumurayiro weSvondo uchakurumidza kuuya muUnited States, Danieri akanga achichema kwemavhiki matatu. Mumutsara werumutsiriro wezviuru zana namakumi mana nezvina, nguva yokuchema iri kuratidza mazuva matatu nehafu ayo zvapupu zviviri zvaZvakazarurwa chitsauko chegumi nechimwe zvakafa mumugwagwa. Mugwagwa weguta guru iro reSodhoma neIjipiti, pakarovererwawo Ishe wedu pamuchinjikwa, ndiwowo mupata waEzekieri wamapfupa akaoma akafa.

Mu chipaturo teni, Daniel walisanduluzgika kuŵa mu chikozgo cha Khristu, ndipo wakakhwaskika katatu pambere Gabriel wandafumuskire kwa Daniel mazgo gha mboniwoni iyo wakawona. Mboniwoni iyi yikababa kupatukana kwa magulu ghaŵiri gha ŵakusopa. Uthenga uwemi wamuyirayira nyengo zose ukubaba magulu ghaŵiri gha ŵakusopa. Daniel wakimilira gulu la ŵakusopa ilo likuyimilika nga ni ŵanthu handiredi na fote-foru sauzandi, mwakupambana na gulu ilo likachimbira na wofi kufuma ku mboniwoni.

Pamberi pechitsauko chegumi, Gabrieri akauya kuna Danieri katatu kuti adudzire chiratidzo. Akadudzira zviratidzo zvezvitsauko zvinomwe nezvisere, izvo zvaifananidzira umambo hwechiporofita cheBhaibheri mukuratidzwa kwahwo kwezvematongerwo enyika (chitsauko chinomwe), uye mukuratidzwa kwahwo kwechitendero (chitsauko chisere). Zvino muchitsauko chechipfumbamwe Gabrieri akadudzira chiporofita chemakore zviuru zviviri nemazana matatu. Gabrieri anosvika muchitsauko chegumi kuti apedzise dudziro yakanga yasiiwa isina kukwana muchitsauko chechipfumbamwe, uye kuti ape Danieri dudziro yechiratidzo chakaburitsa mapoka maviri avanamati. Gabrieri anotanga kupa Danieri muono mukuru wechiratidzo mundima yegumi neina.

Zvino ndauya kuzokuzivisa zvinofanira kuwira vanhu vako pamazuva okupedzisira; nokuti chiratidzo ichi chichiri chamazuva mazhinji. Danieri 10:14.

Chiono cha Kristu, icho chikapangiska magulu ghaŵiri gha awo ŵakusopa, chikuyimira ivyo vizamuchitikira ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta mu mazuŵa ghaumaliro. Kumanyiskira kwa machaputala 7 na 8 kukaŵa kumanyiskira kwa mbiri iyo yikayimiririka na kuwuka na kuwa kwa maufumu gha uchimi wa mu Baibolo, umo kukulongosorekera na vinyama vya munyama yakukora nyama na vinyama vya pa malo ghakupatulika, pakuyana. Kumanyiskira kwa chaputala 9 kukaŵa kupambanura mwatsatanetsatane nyengo zakupambanapambana za uchimi izo zikayimiririka mukati mwa uchimi wa vyaka vikwi viŵiri na mazana ghatatu. Mwanjira yinyake, chiono cha Kristu wakuchindikika mu chaputala 10 chikayimira ivyo vizamuchitikira ŵanthu ŵa Chiuta mu mazuŵa ghaumaliro. Pambere Gabrieli wandambe na ndondomeko yatsatanetsatane ya mbiri, iyo ni kumanyiskira kwa chiono cha Kristu wakuchindikika, wakumbuskira Danieli kuti wali kale kumuphalira Danieli icho kumanyiskira uku kukuyimira.

Aka ndokuti kwauri, “Unoziva here chandakauyira kwauri? Zvino ndichadzokera kundorwa nomuchinda wePersia; uye kana ndabuda, tarira, muchinda weGiriki achauya.” Danieri 10:20.

Gabriyeli anamuumbusha Danieli kwamba alikuwa amemwambia Danieli katika mstari wa kumi na nne, ya kwamba alikuwa amekuja kumfahamisha Danieli yatakayowapata watu wa Mungu katika siku za mwisho, naye alitarajia Danieli kuiweka maelezo yafuatayo ya historia ya unabii katika muktadha huo. Danieli alikuwa akitafuta ufahamu maalumu tangu siku ya kwanza alipoanza kuomboleza.

Ipapo akati kwandiri, Usatya, Danieri; nokuti kubvira pazuva rokutanga rawakaisa mwoyo wako pakunzwisisa nokuzvininipisa pamberi paMwari wako, mashoko ako akanzwikwa, uye ndauya nokuda kwamashoko ako. Asi muchinda woumambo hwePezhiya akandirwisa mazuva makumi maviri nerimwe; asi tarira, Mikari, mumwe wavachinda vakuru, akauya kundibatsira; uye ndikasara ikoko namadzimambo ePezhiya. Danieri 10:12, 13.

Mushure memavhiki matatu aDanieri okuchema, akaona chiratidzo chaKristu, icho nenzira youporofita chaienderana nechiratidzo chaKristu chakanga chaonekwa naJohani paPatmosi.

“Hakuna mwingine ila Mwana wa Mungu mwenyewe aliyemtokea Danieli. Maelezo haya yanafanana na yale aliyopewa Yohana Kristo alipojifunua kwake katika Kisiwa cha Patmo. Bwana wetu sasa anakuja pamoja na mjumbe mwingine wa mbinguni ili amfundishe Danieli yale ambayo yangetukia katika siku za mwisho. Maarifa haya alipewa Danieli, nayo yakaandikwa kwa uvuvio kwa ajili yetu sisi ambao miisho ya dunia imetufikia.

“जगत्का उद्धारकर्ताद्वारा प्रकट गरिएका महान् सत्यहरू तिनीहरूकै निम्ति हुन्, जसले सत्यलाई गुप्त धनझैँ खोज्दछन्। दानिएल वृद्ध पुरुष थिए। उनको जीवन एउटा अन्यजातीय दरबारका मोह-मायाबीच बितेको थियो, उनको मन एउटा महान् साम्राज्यका कार्यभारहरूले व्यस्त थियो; तैपनि उनी यी सबैबाट अलग भई परमेश्वरको सामु आफ्नो प्राणलाई दीन तुल्याउन, र सर्वोच्चका अभिप्रायहरूको ज्ञान खोज्न लागे। अनि उनका विन्तीहरूको प्रत्युत्तरस्वरूप, स्वर्गीय दरबारहरूबाट त्यस ज्योति प्रदान गरियो, जो अन्तिम दिनहरूमा जीवित रहनेहरूका निम्ति थियो। त्यसो भए, हामीले कस्तो गम्भीर तत्परताका साथ परमेश्वरलाई खोज्नुपर्छ, ताकि उहाँले हाम्रो समझ खोलिदिनुहोस्, र हामी स्वर्गबाट हामीकहाँ ल्याइएका सत्यहरू बुझ्न सकौँ।”

“‘नाइल डेनियलले मात्रै त्यो दर्शन देखें; किनकि मसँग भएका मानिसहरूले त्यो दर्शन देखेनन्; तर उनीहरूमा ठूलो कम्प पस्यो, जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू लुक्न भागे…. अनि ममा कुनै शक्ति बाँकी रहेन; किनकि मेरो शोभा मभित्रै विकृतिमा परिणत भयो, र ममा कुनै शक्ति रहेन।’ वास्तवमै पवित्रीकृत भएको प्रत्येक जनाको अनुभव यस्तै हुनेछ। ख्रीष्टको महानता, महिमा, र सिद्धताबारे तिनीहरूको दृष्टि जति स्पष्ट हुन्छ, आफ्नै दुर्बलता र अपूर्णता तिनीहरूले उति नै जीवन्त रूपमा देख्नेछन्। निष्पाप चरित्रको दाबी गर्ने कुनै प्रवृत्ति तिनीहरूमा हुनेछैन; आफूमै सही र शोभन देखिएको कुरा पनि, ख्रीष्टको पवित्रता र महिमासँग तुलना गर्दा, केवल अयोग्य र भ्रष्ट हुने वस्तुजस्तो मात्र देखिनेछ। मानिसहरू जब परमेश्वरबाट अलग हुन्छन्, जब ख्रीष्टबारे तिनीहरूको दृष्टि अत्यन्त अस्पष्ट हुन्छ, तब तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘म निष्पाप छु; म पवित्रीकृत छु।’”

“පසුව ගබ්‍රියෙල් නබිවරයාට පෙනී සිට, මෙසේ ඔහුට කතා කළේය: ‘ඉතා ප්‍රේමකරනු ලබන මනුෂ්‍යයෙකු වන දානියෙල්, මා ඔබට කියන වචන තේරුම්ගන්න, සහ නෙරෙහිව සිටින්න; මක්නිසාද දැන් මා ඔබ වෙත එවනු ලැබ ඇත.’ තවද ඔහු මේ වචනය මා සමඟ කතා කළ කල, මම වෙවුලමින් නැගී සිටියෙමි. එවිට ඔහු මට මෙසේ කීවේය: ‘දානියෙල්, භය නොවන්න; මක්නිසාද ඔබ තේරුම්ගැනීමටත්, ඔබගේ දෙවියන්වහන්සේ ඉදිරියෙහි ඔබම ඔබ පීඩාකරගැනීමටත් ඔබගේ හෘදය යොමු කළ පළමු දවසේ සිටම, ඔබගේ වචන ඇසුණේය; සහ මා පැමිණියේ ඔබගේ වචන නිසාය.’”

“Nga dakulukhulu kangakanani ukuhlonishwa okwaboniswa kuDaniyeli nguBukhosi baseZulwini! Uyayiduduza inceku yakhe ethuthumelayo, futhi uyayiqinisekisa ukuthi umthandazo wayo wezwakala eZulwini, nokuthi, ekuphenduleni leso sicelo esishisekayo, ingelosi uGabriele yathunywa ukuba ithinte inhliziyo yenkosi yasePheresiya. Inkosi yayimelene nemibono kaMoya kaNkulunkulu phakathi namaviki amathathu uDaniyeli ezila ukudla futhi ethandaza, kodwa iNkosana yaseZulwini, ingelosi enkulu, uMikayeli, yathunywa ukuba iphendule inhliziyo yaleyo nkosi enenkani ukuze ithathe isinyathelo esiqondile sokuphendula umthandazo kaDaniyeli.”

“Daniyeli alipokuwa akiendelea na maombi yake, malaika Gabrieli akaja kwa kasi akishuka kutoka nyua za mbinguni, ili kumwambia kwamba dua zake zimesikiwa na kujibiwa. Malaika huyu mwenye nguvu ametumwa kumpa hekima na ufahamu,—kufunua mbele yake mafumbo ya nyakati zijazo. Hivyo basi, alipokuwa akitafuta kwa bidii kuijua na kuielewa kweli, Daniyeli aliletwa katika ushirika na mjumbe aliyeteuliwa wa Mbinguni.

Ukutolikeka kokuthi uGabriyeli, “isithunywa sezulu esithunyiweyo,” wayekuletha kuDaniyeli, kwakuwukuqedela ukutolikeka ayeseqalile ukumnika uDaniyeli esahlukweni sesishiyagalolunye.
