1 Awo omuvubuka Samwiri n’aweerezanga mu maaso ga Mukama ng’alabirirwa Eri. Mu biro ebyo ekigambo kya Mukama kyali kya bbula, era nga n’okwolesebwa kwa bbalirirwe.
Umfana uSamuweli wayesebenzela iNkosi phambi kukaEli. Lelizwi leNkosi laliligugu ngalezonsuku; kwakungekho lombono osabaleleyo.
2 Mu kiseera ekyo, Eri eyali akaddiye, n’amaaso ge nga gayimbadde, yali awumuddeko mu kisenge kye.
Kwasekusithi ngalolosuku uEli elele endaweni yakhe, lamehlo akhe eseqala ukufiphala engelakubona,
3 Ettabaaza ya Katonda yali tennazikira nga ne Samwiri yeebase mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ng’aliraanye essanduuko ya Katonda we yali.
lesibane sikaNkulunkulu sasingakacitshwa, njalo uSamuweli wayelele ethempelini leNkosi, lapho okwakukhona umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu,
4 Awo Mukama n’akoowoola Samwiri nti, “Samwiri, Samwiri!” N’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
iNkosi yambiza uSamuweli, owathi: Khangela ngilapha.
5 N’adduka n’agenda ewa Eri n’amugamba nti, “Nze nzuuno, ompise.” Naye Eri n’amuddamu nti, “Sikuyise, ddayo weebake.”
Wasegijimela kuEli, wathi: Khangela ngilapha, ngoba ungibizile. Wasesithi: Kangibizanga, buyela ulale. Wasesiyalala.
6 Mukama n’addamu n’amuyita, “Samwiri!” Samwiri n’asituka n’agenda eri Eri, n’amugamba nti, “Nze nzuuno, ompise.” Naye Eri n’amuddamu nti, “Sikuyise, mutabani, ddayo weebake.”
INkosi yasibuya imbiza uSamuweli futhi. USamuweli wasevuka waya kuEli, wathi: Khangela ngilapha, ngoba ungibizile. Kodwa wathi: Kangibizanga, ndodana yami; buyela ulale.
7 Samwiri yali tannategeera nga Mukama y’amuyita, nga n’ekigambo kya Mukama tekimubikkulirwanga.
Kodwa uSamuweli wayengakayazi iNkosi, lelizwi leNkosi lalingakembulwa kuye.
8 Mukama n’addamu n’akoowoola Samwiri omulundi ogwokusatu, Samwiri n’asituka n’agenda eri Eri n’amugamba nti, “Nzuuno, ompise.” Awo Eri n’ategeera nti Mukama y’ayita omuvubuka.
INkosi yasimbiza futhi uSamuweli ngokwesithathu. Wasevuka waya kuEli wathi: Khangela ngilapha, ngoba ungibizile. UEli waseqedisisa ukuthi iNkosi imbizile umfana.
9 Eri kyeyava agamba Samwiri nti, “Genda weebake, bw’anaddamu okukuyita, oddamu nti, Yogera, Mukama, kubanga omuweereza wo awulira.” Awo Samwiri n’agenda n’agalamira mu kifo kye.
Ngakho uEli wathi kuSamuweli: Hamba uyelala; kuzakuthi-ke nxa ikubiza uzakuthi: Khuluma Nkosi, ngoba inceku yakho iyezwa. Wasehamba uSamuweli, walala endaweni yakhe.
10 Mukama n’ajja nate, n’amukoowoola ng’olubereberye nti, “Samwiri! Samwiri!” Samwiri n’addamu nti, “Yogera, Ayi Mukama kubanga omuweereza wo awulira.”
INkosi yasisiza, yema, yabiza njengakwezinye izikhathi: Samuweli, Samuweli! Wasesithi uSamuweli: Khuluma, ngoba inceku yakho iyezwa.
11 Awo Mukama n’agamba Samwiri nti, “Laba, ndikumpi okukola ekigambo mu Isirayiri ekirireetera amatu ga buli muntu alikiwulira okuwaawaala.
INkosi yasisithi kuSamuweli: Khangela, ngizakwenza into koIsrayeli ezakhenceza indlebe zombili zalowo wonke oyizwayo.
12 Ku lunaku olwo ndituukiriza ebyo byonna bye nnali njogedde ku nnyumba ya Eri.
Ngalolosuku ngizakwenza ngimelene loEli konke engakukhuluma ngendlu yakhe; ngiqalise ngiqede.
13 Namulabula nti ndibonereza ennyumba ye ennaku zonna, olw’obutali butuukirivu bwa batabani be abavvoola Katonda, n’akimanya naye n’atabaziyiza.
Ngoba ngimtshelile ukuthi ngizagweba indlu yakhe kuze kube nininini ngesiphambeko asaziyo, ngoba amadodana akhe azenza aqalekiswa, kodwa kawakhuzanga.
14 Kyenva ndayirira ennyumba ya Eri nga ŋŋamba nti, ‘Omusango oguli ku nnyumba ya Eri tegulisonyiyibwa na ssaddaaka newaakubadde ekiweebwayo ennaku zonna.’”
Ngakho-ke ngifungile kuyo indlu kaEli ukuthi ububi bendlu kaEli kabuyikuhlangulwa ngomhlatshelo langomnikelo kuze kube phakade.
15 Samwiri n’addayo n’agalamira okutuusa obudde lwe bwakya, n’aggulawo enzigi ez’ennyumba ya Mukama. N’atya okutegeeza Eri okwolesebwa kwe yafuna,
USamuweli waselala kwaze kwasa; wavula iminyango yendlu yeNkosi, kodwa uSamuweli wesaba ukumtshela uEli umbono.
16 naye Eri n’amuyita n’amugamba nti, “Samwiri, mwana wange.” N’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
UEli wasembiza uSamuweli, wathi: Samuweli, ndodana yami. Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha.
17 Eri n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki kye yakugambye? Tokinkisa. Katonda akuleeteko ekibonerezo eky’amaanyi bw’onoobaako ekigambo kyonna ky’onkisizza ku ebyo bye yakugambye.”
Wasesithi: Yinto bani eyikhulume kuwe? Ake ungangifihleli; kenze njalo uNkulunkulu kuwe, ngokunjalo engezelele, uba ungifihlela ulutho lwazo zonke izinto akutshele zona.
18 Awo Samwiri n’amutegeeza buli kimu, n’atabaako kigambo na kimu kye yamukisa. Eri n’ayogera nti, “Ye Mukama, akole nga bw’asiima.”
Ngakho uSamuweli wasemtshela zonke izinto, kamfihlelanga lutho. Wasesithi: YiNkosi, kayenze lokho okulungileyo emehlweni ayo.
19 Mukama n’abeera wamu ne Samwiri, n’akula. Buli kigambo kye yayogera ku nnyumba ya Eri ne kituukirira.
Wakhula-ke uSamuweli, leNkosi yayilaye, kayiyekelanga lelilodwa lamazwi ayo liwele emhlabathini.
20 Isirayiri yenna okuva mu Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba ne bategeera nga Samwiri ateekeddwawo okuba nnabbi wa Mukama.
UIsrayeli wonke-ke kusukela koDani kuze kube seBherishebha wazi ukuthi uSamuweli uqinisiwe ukuthi abe ngumprofethi weNkosi.
21 Mukama ne yeeyongeranga okweyolekera Samwiri mu Siiro.
INkosi yaphinda yabonakala eShilo, ngoba iNkosi yazibonakalisa kuSamuweli eShilo ngelizwi leNkosi.
