1 Samue 3
1 Hagi Samueli'a mofavre mani'neno Elina aza huno Ra Anumzamofo avuga pristi eri'zana eri'ne. Hagi ana knafina rama'a kafufi Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera keaga huozami'ne. Hagi magoke magoke knazupa, ava'nagna zana zamaveri hutere hu'ne.
Umfana uSamuyeli wakhonza phambi kukaThixo engaphansi kuka-Eli. Ngalezonsuku ilizwi likaThixo lalingandanga; kwakungelamibono eminengi.
2 Hagi Elina avumo'a agafa huno asu higeno keso'e osuno, mago kinaga Ra Anumzamofo nompi tafe'are mase'ne.
Ngobunye ubusuku u-Eli, amehlo akhe ayesefiphala esebona kalufifi, wayelele endaweni yakhe yansuku zonke.
3 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo nompima lamu tavi'ma rekruma hunte'naza tavi'mo'a asura osu'negeno, Samueli'a Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage ante vogisima me'nea seli mono nompi mase'ne.
Isibane sikaNkulunkulu sasingakacitshi, njalo uSamuyeli wayelele phansi ethempelini likaThixo, lapho okwakulebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu khona.
4 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina agihegeno, Samuelia kenona huno, Ama mani'noe.
Uthixo wasembiza uSamuyeli. USamuyeli wasabela wathi, “Ngilapha.”
5 Nehuno anampinti Samueli'a otino Elinte vuno, na'anku hanke'na oe, higeno Eli'a huno, Kagrira kea osu'noanki ete vunka umaso.
Wagijimela ku-Eli wathi, “Ngilapha; ungibizile.” Kodwa u-Eli wathi, “Angikubizanga; buyela uyelala.” Ngakho wabuyela wayalala.
6 Hagi ete mago'ane Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina agi higeno, Samueli'a otino Elinte vuno, Ama mani'noanki na'anku hankena oe, higeno Eli'a huno, Nagra kea osu'noanki mofavrenimoka vunka umaso.
Uthixo wambiza futhi wathi, “Samuyeli!” USamuyeli wavuka waya ku-Eli wathi, “Ngilapha; ungibizile.” U-Eli wathi, “Ndodana yami, Angikubizanga; buyela uyelala.”
7 Hagi Samueli'a Ra Anumzamofona keno antahinora osu'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kora agritera eama huno keaga higeno keno antahino osu'negu, anara hu'ne.
Ngalesosikhathi uSamuyeli wayengakamazi uThixo: Ilizwi likaThixo lalingakavezwa kuye.
8 Hagi nampa 3 zupama Ra Anumzamo'a kema higeno'a, Samueli'a otino Elinte vuno, Kagrama kema hanana ama mani'noe huno ome asami'geno anante Eli'a antahi ama nehuno, Ra Anumzamo ama ana risera kea hunemie huno antahi'ne.
Uthixo wambiza uSamuyeli okwesithathu, njalo uSamuyeli wavuka waya ku-Eli wathi, “Ngilapha; ungibizile.” Lapho-ke u-Eli wabona ukuthi nguThixo owayebiza umfana.
9 Hagi Eli'a anage huno Samuelina asami'ne, Ete vunka umasenegeno mago'enema kagima hanigenka, kenona huntenka Ra Anumzamoka eri'za vahekamo'na nentahuanki nasamio hunka huo, huno nesamino ete huntegeno Samueli'a vuno tafe'are umase'ne.
Ngakho u-Eli watshela uSamuyeli wathi, “Hamba uyelala, njalo nxa ekubiza wena uthi, ‘Khuluma Thixo, ngoba inceku yakho ilalele.’” Ngakho uSamuyeli wahamba wayalala endaweni yakhe.
10 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a tavaonte eme otino ko'ma hu'neaza huno, Samueliwe, Samueliwe higeno Samueli'a huno, Ra Anumzamoka eri'za vahekamo'na nentahuanki nasamio.
Uthixo weza wema khonapho, ebiza njengakuqala esithi, “Samuyeli! Samuyeli!” USamuyeli wathi, “Khuluma, ngoba inceku yakho ilalele.”
11 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Samuelina asamino, Antahio Nagra menina Israeli vahepina, antari hanazaza eri fore hugahuankino iza'o ana zamofo agenkema antahisimo'a antri nehuno na'a fore nehie huno hugahie.
Uthixo wasesithi kuSamuyeli, “Khangela, sekuseduze ukuba ko-Israyeli ngenze into ezakwenza indlebe zomuntu wonke okuzwayo lokho zincencethe.
12 Hagi Eli naga'ma zamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na koro ke'ma huzmante'noa kemofona amage ante'na agafareti eri agafa hute'na zamazeri haviza hume vu'na, ome vagaretega zamazeri haviza hu vagaregahue.
Ngalesosikhathi ngizamelana lo-Eli, ngenze konke engakukhuluma mayelana lendlu yakhe kusukela ekuqaleni kusiya ekucineni.
13 Hagi Eli naga'ma zamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na kore kema huzmante'noa kemo'a mevava huno vugahie. Na'ankure agri mofavre'mokea kefo zanavu'znavama nehake'na, zanazeri haviza hugahuema huankea, agra antahino keno hu'neanagi, haviza neha'e huno znazeri fatgohu kea ozanasami'ne.
Ngoba ngamtshela ukuthi ngizakwahlulela indlu yakhe okulaphakade ngenxa yesono ayesazi; amadodana akhe ayehlambaza uNkulunkulu, yena wehluleka ukuwakhuza.
14 E'ina hu'negu Nagra huvempage huankino Eli naga'mo'zama kresramna hanaza ofaretiro, witi ofaretira nona hu'za kumi'zmia apaosegahaze.
Ngakho, ngayifungela indlu ka-Eli ngathi, ‘Icala lendlu ka-Eli kaliyikuhlawulwa ngomhlatshelo loba ngomnikelo.’”
15 Hagi anagema hutegeno'a Samueli'a vuno umase'negeno vuno ko'atune. Hagi nanterana Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kafana ko'ma nehiaza huno anagi'neanagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ava'nagna zampima asami'nea nanekema Elima asami'zankura Samueli'a koro hu'ne.
USamuyeli walala phansi kwaze kwaba sekuseni wasevula iminyango yendlu kaThixo. Wayesesaba ukutshela u-Eli umbono,
16 Hianagi Eli'a kezatino, Nenamofo Samueliwe, higeno Samueli'a kenona huno, Ama mani'noe.
kodwa u-Eli wambiza wathi, “Samuyeli, ndodana yami.” USamuyeli wasabela wathi, “Ngilapha.”
17 Higeno Eli'a Samuelina antahigeno, Na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kasaminefi ana nanekea magore hunka eri fra'okinka nasamio? Hagi kagrama ana mika nanekema eri frakisankeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a kagrira mago'ene knazana erinte agofetu huno kazeri haviza hugahie.
U-Eli wabuza wathi, “Kuyini akutshiloyo kuwe na? Ungangifihleli. Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakujezisa, kube buhlungu kakhulu, nxa uzangifihlela loba kuyini akutshele khona.”
18 Anage higeno Samueli'a Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea nanekea maka asami vagaregeno, Eli'a ana kenona huno, Atregeno Agra'a Ra Anumzamoke agri'ma avesi'nia zana hino.
Ngakho uSamuyeli wamtshela konke, engamfihlelanga lutho. U-Eli wasesithi, “UnguThixo; kenze lokho akubona kukuhle emehlweni akhe.”
19 Anama hutegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Samueli'ene mani'negeno nena huno rana nehigeno, maka nanekema Samueli'ma hu'nea nanekemo'a amnezanknara osu'ne.
Uthixo wayeloSamuyeli ekukhuleni kwakhe, njalo kayekelanga lalinye lamazwi akhe liwela phansi.
20 Hagi noti kaziga Dani kumateti agafa huteno, vuno sauti kaziga Bersiva kumate'ma mani'za uhanati'naza maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Samuelinkura Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' efore hie hu'za hu'naze.
Njalo u-Israyeli wonke kusukela eDani kusiya eBherishebha wakwazi ukuthi uSamuyeli wayebekwe ukuba ngumphrofethi kaThixo.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Sailo kumatera seli mono nompi mago'ene Samuelintera efore huno kea eme asamitere hu'ne.
Uthixo waqhubeka ebonakala eShilo, njalo khonapho waziveza kuSamuyeli ngelizwi lakhe.
