1 Samue 2

1 Hagi Hana'a amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka nagu'areti hu'na rama'a muse hugante'na kagi ahentesga hue. Kagra'a hanavea naminka nazeri sga hu'nane. Na'ankure naza hunka knazaniafintira navrananki'na, ha' vaheni'amofona agizaregahue. Na'ankure nagu'mavazinka navrana zankura muse hugantoe.

UHana wasekhuleka esithi: “Inhliziyo yami iyathokoza kuThixo; kuThixo uphondo lwami luphakeme. Umlomo wami uyaziklolodela izitha zami, ngoba ngiyathokoza ekusindiseni kwakho.

2 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka mago'mo'e huno kagri kna huno ruotagera osigeno, mago havemofo hanavemo'a tagri Anumzamoka hankavegnara osu'ne.

Kakho ongcwele njengoThixo; kakho omunye ngaphandle kwakho; akulaDwala elinjengo-Nkulunkulu wethu.

3 Hagi avufga rahu kea mago'ane osuno, kagra'ama kazerisga hu kea kagipintira atioramino. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a mika'zama hanana zana ko ke'neankino, kavukava'ma hanana kante anteno, refko hugantegahie.

Lingabe lisakhuluma ngokuzigqaja kanje loba uyekele umlomo wakho ukhuluma ukuzikhukhumeza okunje, ngoba uThixo unguNkulunkulu owaziyo, njalo izenzo zilinganiswa nguye.

4 Hagi hanavenentake vahe mani'nonema nehaza vahe'mokizmi atia eri futagi netreno, hanavezmi omne vahera zamazeri hanavetige'zma hanave vahe nemanize.

Amadandili amabutho ephukile, kodwa labo abakhubekayo bahlonyiswe ngamandla.

5 Hagi ne'zama nezamu'ma nehaza vahe'mokizmia, zamaga netenigeno, ne'zanku'ma zamaga'ma netenia vahe'mo'za nezamu hugahaze. Hagi naravo a'mo'a 7ni'a mofavre antegahie. Hianagi rama'a mofavrema ante'nea a'mo'a ontegahie.

Labo ababesuthi baziqhatshisa ngokudla, kodwa labo ababelambile kabalambi futhi. Lowo owayeyinyumbakazi usezele abantwana abayisikhombisa, kodwa lowo owayelamadodana amanengi uyacikizeka.

6 Hagi Ra Anumzamo vahera ahenefrino, vahera asimura amigeno nemanigeno, Agra vahera huntegeno fri vahe kumatega nevigeno, vahera anampintira azeri onetie. (Sheol h7585)

Uthixo uletha ukufa njalo enze ukuphila, wehlisela phansi engcwabeni njalo avuse. (Sheol h7585)

7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo vahera azeri amunte nomaneno, feno vahera azeri retro nehie. Agrake vahera azeri anteneramino, vahera azeri antesga nehie.

Uthixo uthumela ubuyanga kanye lenotho; uyathobekisa njalo uyaphakamisa.

8 Hagi amunte omane vahe'ene mika zanku'ma upa'ma nehaza vahe'enena kugusopafintira zamavaresga huno ra zamagi zamige'zma marerisa vahe'enena nemanize. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ama mopamofo trara tro huteno, mopamofona anante megahane huno higeno me'ne.

Uvusa abayanga ethulini aphakamise abaswelayo esilotheni; abahlalise lamakhosana. Enze bathole isihlalo sodumo sibe yilifa labo. Ngoba izisekelo zomhlaba ngezikaThixo; umise umhlaba phezu kwazo.

9 Hagi fatgoma hu'zma Agri'ma amage'ma ante'za kama vanoma nehaza vahe'mokizmia kegava hunezamanteanagi, kefo zamavu'zmava'ma nehaza vahera zamatrege'za hanimpi fanene hugahaze. Na'ankure mago vahe'mo'a agra'a hanaverera knarera huno omanigahie.

Uzalondoloza inyawo zabathembekileyo bakhe, kodwa ababi bazathuliselwa emnyameni. Akusikho ngamandla ukuthi umuntu ehlule;

10 Hagi Ra Anumzamofoma ha'ma rentesnaza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri haviza hugahie. Hagi monage huno monafintira nezamaheno, Ra Anumzamo'a miko mopafi vahe'mokizmia kegaga huzamantegahie. Hagi Agra kini ne'a hanavea nemino, masavema frentenoma huhamprima ante'nea nera hihamu hanavea amino azeri antesga hugahie.

labo abaphikisa uThixo bazaphahlazwa. OPhezukonke uzaduma amelane labo esezulwini; uThixo uzakwahlulela imikhawulo yomhlaba. Uzayinika amandla inkosi yakhe aphakamise lophondo logcotshiweyo wakhe.”

11 Anante Elkana'ene Hanakea ete kumazanirega Rama vu'na'e. Hianagi Samueli'a pristi ne' Eli aza huno Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana eri'ne.

Emva kwalokho u-Elikhana wabuyela ekhaya eRama, kodwa umfana wakhonza phambi kukaThixo ngaphansi kuka-Eli umphristi.

12 Hagi Eli mofavre'amokea kefo zanavu'zanava nehuke, Ra Anumzamofona Ra mani'ne huke antahi omi'na'e.

Amadodana ka-Eli ayengabantu abaxhwalileyo, ayengamnanzi uThixo.

13 Hagi ana pristi ne'tremokea vahe'mo'zama ofama eri'za e'za eme kresramana nevazafintira, eri'za vahe huntakeno 3'a ave me'nea fokureti kavofima krazageno'ma nerea afupintira ome revazu huno eme zanamitere hu'ne.

Kwakungumkhuba wabaphristi labantu ukuthi kokuphela nxa loba ngubani enikele umhlatshelo, njalo lapho inyama isaphekwa, inceku yomphristi yayisiza iphethe ifologwe elencijo ezintathu.

14 Hagi ana eri'za ne'mo'a afu'ma kre'naza kavofima ana fokureti'ma reno avazuma hia afura, erino Eli mofavrerarena eme zanami'ne. Israeli vahe'mo'zama mika zupa Sailo kumate'ma ofama eme nehazageno'a, e'inahukna zanavu'zanava hutere hu'na'e.

Yayihlaba ngayo epaneni loba egedleleni loba ebhodweni kumbe embizeni, umphristi abe esezithathela loba kuyini okuphume lefologwe. Le yiyo indlela abaphatha ngayo bonke abako-Israyeli abafika eShilo.

15 Hagi mago'a zupa pristi vahe'mo'za afova'a onkre'nazageno ana eri'za ne'mo'a emenerige'za, pristi vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, kretesunkenka erigahane hu'zama nehazageno'a, kavofima kraza afura onegaha'anki zanagra'a tevefi kreke negaha'e.

Kodwa lalapho amahwahwa engakatshi, inceku yomphristi yayisiya emuntwini onikelayo ithi, “Nika umphristi inyama yokosa; kasoze ayamukele kuwe inyama ephekiweyo, kodwa eluhlaza kuphela.”

16 Hagi anama ofama hunaku'ma nehia pristi ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, natrege'na afu afova'a kretanena, henka kavesiniama'a erinka vuo, higeno'a pristi ne'mofo eri'za ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, kagrama namizanku'ma menima kave'ma osiniana, nagra'a erigahue.

Lapho umuntu ethe kuyo, “Yekela amahwahwa aqale atshe, ube usuthathake lokho okufunayo,” inceku yayiphendula ithi, “Hatshi, ngiqhubela yona khathesi; nxa ungenzi njalo, ngizayihluthuna ngamandla.”

17 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo avufina ana netremokea tusi'a kumi hu'na'e. Na'ankure zanagra Ra Anumzamofonte'ma eri'za aza ofa kefenkami atreke tusi'a kefo zantfa hu'na'e.

Lesisono samajaha sasisikhulu kakhulu emehlweni kaThixo, ngoba babephatha umnikelo kaThixo ngokwedelela.

18 Hianagi Samueli'a pristi vahe'mo'zama nehaza efeke zaza kukena hu'neno, eri'zana Ra Anumzamofo avuga eri'ne.

Kodwa uSamuyeli wayekhonza phambi kukaThixo engumfana egqoka isembatho samahlombe selineni.

19 Hagi kafugu kafugu'ma nehazaza huke ofama huku'ma nererake nefake'ma ne-ekea, Samuelina nerera'a osi za'za kukena'a tro huno erinte'neno etere hu'ne.

Minyaka yonke unina wayemenzela ingubo encane ayise kuye lapho esiya khonale lomkakhe ukuyanikela umhlatshelo weminyaka yonke.

20 Hagi anama huteke kuma zaniregama vu'zama nehakeno'a, Eli'a nunamuna huno Elkanane nenaronena asomu kea huznanteno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a ama mofavrema ami vagamarena'a zantera, nona huno mofavreramina tanamigahie, higeke ete kumazanirega vu'na'e.

U-Eli wayebusisa u-Elikhana lomkakhe, esithi, “Sengathi uThixo angalipha abantwana ngalo owesifazane ukuba bathathe isikhundla salowo amkhulekelayo wasemnika uThixo.” Emva kwalokho babebuyela ekhaya.

21 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Hanana azeri so'e huntegeno amu'ene huno 3'a ne'mofavregi tare mofaki huno kasezmante'ne. Hianagi Samueli'a Ra Anumzamofo avuga Sailo manineno nena hu'ne.

Uthixo waba lomusa kuHana; wakhulelwa wazala amadodana amathathu lamadodakazi amabili. Kusenjalo, umfana uSamuyeli wakhula phambi kukaThixo.

22 Hagi Eli'a ananknafina ozafa re'neanagi tare ne'mofavre'amokea maka Israeli vahe'ma huzamanta'a zanavu'zanava zamofo agenkea antahine. Hagi ana netremokea seli mono nomofo kafante'ma eri'zama eneri'za a'nene monko'za hu'na'e.

Ngalesosikhathi u-Eli, owayesemdala kakhulu, wezwa ngakho konke okwakusenziwa ngamadodana akhe ku-Israyeli wonke kanye lokuthi ayelala njani labesifazane ababesebenza esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.

23 Hu'negu Eli'a ana mofavre'amokiznigura amanage hu'ne, na'ahigeta e'inahu kefo tanavu'tanava'ma neha'a zamofo tanagenkea miko vahe'mo'za eme nenasamize?

Ngakho wathi kuwo, “Kungani lisenza izinto ezinje na? Ngizizwa ngabantu bonke lezizenzo zenu ezimbi.

24 Hagi mofavrenimota'a e'inahu tanavu'tanavara osi'o. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mo'zama huganti kamama nehaza kema nasamiza kemo'a havizantfa nehie.

Hatshi, madodana ami; akusimbiko omuhle engiwuzwa usanda phakathi kwabantu bakaThixo.

25 Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma mago vahe'ma kefo avu'ava'ma huntesiana Anumzamo amu'nompina mani'neno eri ante fatgo hugahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamofonte'ma kefo zama haniana, i'za erinte fatgo hugahie? Hianagi Eli mofavreraremokea nezanafama zanasamia nanekea ontahi'na'e. Na'ankure ko' Ra Anumzamo'a zanahe fri'naku antahi'ne.

Nxa umuntu esona komunye umuntu, uNkulunkulu angaba ngumeli wakhe kodwa nxa umuntu esona kuThixo, ngubani ongamkhulumela na?” Kodwa amadodana akhe kawakulalelanga ukukhuza kukayise, ngoba kwakuyisifiso sikaThixo ukuba awabulale.

26 Hagi Samueli'a mofavrema mani'neno'a Ra Anumzamofo avure'ene vahe'mofo avure'enena so'e avu'avaza hige'za avesinentazageno Ra Anumzamo'enena avesinte'ne.

Umfana uSamuyeli waqhubeka ekhula ngomzimba langokuthandeka kuThixo lasebantwini.

27 Hagi mago knazupa Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'mo'a Elinte eno amanage huno eme asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Isipima Fero agoragama kagehe'zama mani'nage'na zamagritera Nagra'a nazeri ante amara osu'nofi?

Ngalesosikhathi umuntu kaNkulunkulu wafika ku-Eli wathi kuye, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ukuthi: ‘Kangizibonakalisanga ngokubalulekileyo endlini kayihlo lapho babeseGibhithe ngaphansi kukaFaro na?

28 Hagi neramageho Aronina maka Israeli naga nofipintira Nagra'a huhampri antogeno pristi vahe zaza kukena hu'neno, Nagri navuga pristi eri'zana kresramna vu itarera marerino e'nerino, mananentake'zana kremna vu'ne. Hagi mika Israeli vahe'mo'zama ofama tevefima haza ne'zana, miko kagri kagehe'i pristi naga zami'noe.

Ngakhetha uyihlo phakathi kwezizwana zonke zako-Israyeli ukuba abe ngumphristi wami, ukuba aye e-alithareni lami, ukuba atshise impepha, lokuba agqoke isembatho samahlombe phambi kwami. Njalo nganika indlu kayihlo yonke iminikelo eyenziwa ngomlilo ngabako-Israyeli.

29 Hagi nahigeta Nagrite'ma Israeli vahe'mo'zama kresramnama hihoma hu'na huzmante'noa kante ante'za noniafima ofama eme haza ofa antahi onamike, renkrerera nereke eri havizana hu'na'e. Hagi nahigenka tare mofavreka'a ra zanagia nezanaminka, Nagria ra nagia onami'ne? Na'ankure knare afu'ma Nagrite'ma ofama eme hazana, tamagragukera antahita neneta afovagera hu'naze.

Pho kungani useyisa imihlatshelo yami kanye leminikelo engayiphawulela indlu yami yokuhlala na? Kungani uhlonipha amadodana akho okudlula mina ngokuzikhuluphalisa lina ngokwenu ngezingxenye zekhethelo zeminikelo yonke eyenziwa ngabantu bako-Israyeli na?’

30 E'inahu zama hanku Israeli vahe Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno hu'ne, Kagri naga'ene kagehe'i naga'mo'za pristi eri'zana erivava hugahaze hu'na hu'noanagi, anara osugahaze. Na'ankure Nagri'ma ra nagima namisamokizmia, ra zamagi zamigahue. Hagi Nagri nagima eri haviza hanamokizmia, zamazeri henkami atregahue.

Ngakho-ke uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi, ‘Ngathembisa ukuthi indlu yakho lendlu kayihlo zizakhonza phambi kwami nini lanini.’ Kodwa khathesi uThixo uthi, ‘Akusenjalo kimi!’ Labo abangihloniphayo ngizabahlonipha, kodwa labo abangeyisayo bazakweyiswa.

31 Hagi antahiho, mago kna ne-eankina hanavetamia erinetrena, tamafahe'i hanavea eritra'nena tamagri naga'pina magore huno ranra vahera omanigahie.

Isikhathi siyeza lapho engizaphungula khona amandla akho lamandla endlu kayihlo, ukuze kungabi lomuntu omdala kusendo lwakwenu

32 Hagi tamagra negetma kanive neresage'na Israeli vahera asomura huzamantegahue. Hianagi tamagri naga'pina, magore huno ozafareno ranra vahera mani'nenageta ke vava osugahaze.

njalo uzabona usizi lapho engihlala khona. Lanxa okuhle kuzakwenziwa ku-Israyeli, kwabosendo lwakho akuyikuba lomuntu omdala.

33 Hagi ana hutesuge'zama ofri'zama magoke magoke'ma manisaza vahe'mo'za zamasuzampi nemanisage'za, mofavrema kasezamantesaza mofavremo'za, ozafa ore'ne'za ame hu'za frigahaze.

Lowo lalowo wakini engingayikumsusa e-alithareni lami uzayekelwa nje ukuba amehlo akhe afiphale lokuba azwise inhliziyo yakho ubuhlungu, njalo yonke inzalo yakho izakufa kuyikhona isephakathi kwempilo.

34 Hagi tare mofavreka'a Hopni'ene Finiasikea magoke zupage frisakenka, ana maka ke'nimo'a tamage hu'ne hunka antahigahane.

‘Njalo okwenzakala emadodaneni akho amabili, uHofini loFinehasi, kuzakuba yisiboniso kuwe, bobabili bazakufa langa linye.

35 Hianagi nagri kema antahinamisia pristi ne' azeri oti'nena, Nagri nagu'afine antahizampima me'nea kemofo amage anteno eri'zana enerino, miko zupa Nagrama huhamprinte'nua kini vahe'mofo avuga eri'zana erivava huno vugahie.

Ngizakuzimisela umphristi othembekileyo ozakwenza mayelana lokusenhliziyweni yami lengqondweni yami. Ngizamisa indlu yakhe iqine, njalo uzakhonza phambi kogcotshiweyo wami kokuphela.

36 Hianagi kagri naga'pinti'ma ofri'ma mani'namo'za miko zupa ana pristi ne'te e'za zamare'na emere'za, ne'zama nesunazana omaneanki hurantegeta pristi eri'zana enerita, breti ankrahe'a erita namneno hugahaze.

Lapho-ke bonke abosendo lwakho abaseleyo bazakuza bakhothame kuye becela uhlamvu lwesiliva loqweqwe lwesinkwa njalo bakhalaze besithi, “Ake ungibeke kwesinye isikhundla sobuphristi ukuze ngithole ukudla ngidle.”’”
