Umucyo ukomoka mu ijuru wari umaze kumurikira umwami Nebukadinezari, maze mu gihe gito agaragaza umutima wo kubaha Imana. Imyaka mike yo gutera imbere ituma yishyira hejuru mu mutima we, maze yibagirwa uko yari yasobanukiwe n’Imana Ihoraho. Yongera gusubira mu gusenga ibigirwamana noneho ashyizeho umwete.IY 26.3

Aba ni ba basore batatu bagenzi ba Daniyeli, abo umwami yari yarise Shadaraki, Meshaki na Abedinego. Yuzuye uburakari, Umwami abatumaho ngo baze aho ari, abereka itanura rigurumana, ababwira ko ari cyo gihano bari buhabwe baramutse banze kumvira itegeko rye.IY 26.5
Uko gukangata k’umwami kwabaye uk’ubusa. Ntabwo yabashaga guhindura izi nyangamugayo ngo batezuke ku mugambi wabo wo kubaha Umutware w’isi yose. Bari barigishijwe mu mateka ya basekuruza ko kugomera Imana ari umugayo, akaga, ndetse birimo ingorane; kandi bazi ko kubaha Imana atari inkomoko y’ubwenge gusa, ahubwo ko ari n’urufatiro rw’imigisha y’ukuri. Bitegereza itanura rigurumana batuje n’iryo teraniro ry’abasenga ibigirwamana. Bizeye Imana, kandi ntizabatererana. Igisubizo cyabo kirangwa no kubaha umwami, nyamara bamubwira bamaramaje bati: “Nyagasani umenye ko tutazasenga imana zawe kandi ko tutazaramya ishusho y’izahabu wahagaritse” (Daniyeli 3:18).IY 27.1

Uburakari bw’umwami bwari butagifite igaruriro. Mu mbaraga ze zihebuje n’icyubaro, kugira ngo asuzugurwe n’abahagarariye ubwoko busuzuguritse bw’abanyagano, cyari nk’igitutsi atabasha kwihanganira. Maze itanura ryenyegezwa karindwi kurusha uko ryakaga mbere, maze bajugunyamo ba basore b’Abaheburayo b’abanyagano. Ibirimi by’umuriro byari bikaze cyane, ku buryo abajugunye mo abo basore byabatwitse bikabica.IY 27.3
