Nivakigizwa ku mihiga 3, gavadukiraa valetwe imbiri wu mwami. 6Valala ku vaatovolwa vaali: Danieli, Hanania, Mishaeli na Azaria; vosi vaatura mu ihiiri yi Ivuyuda. 7Ashipenazi mwimiliri wa vanene vi kiyaalo yavagulika amita: Mahia Danieli yamugulika Beliteshaza, Hanania yamugulika Sadaraka, Mishaeli yamugulika Meshaka na Azaria yamugulika Abedinego.

Niiva si ulaloleka kuva nizinguru kuli avayaayi vandi, mwami alaanzita.”
11Maku Danieli yavolera mulindi wa Ashipenazi yaali natovoye alindi Danieli, Hanania, Mishaeli na Azaria, 12“Okogerizi kunyi avatumikiri vovo ku madiku 10; okohe zinguza kulie kandi amazi kunwi. 13Maku ufananyie liiva lietu ni liiva lia vasoleri vandi avalizaa ku chukulia chu mwami kilahi, hene yaho, unyala kokokolera avatumwa vovo kuli ololaa.”

Kunangwa vakolwa kuva avatumikiri munyumba yu vwami. 20Ku makuva goosi gu mwami yateeva, anoho vudinyu vwosi vwu mwami yaleeta, avayaayi vane yava vamanya haali 10 kuvita muvuuli anoho mukumu wundi woosi munyumba yeeye yu vwami vwosi. 21Danieli yamenya munyumba yu vwami kuduuka muhiga gwu kutanga gwu Mwami Sairasi wa Pasia yaguuta kivala cha Babiloni.
