1 USamuyeli 1
1 Kwakulendoda ethile yaseRamathayimi, umZufi owayevela elizweni lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi, ibizo layo lalingu-Elikhana indodana kaJerohamu, indodana ka-Elihu, indodana kaThohu, indodana kaZufi, umʼEfrayimi.
Hagi mago nera Elkana'e nehia ne' mani'ne. Hagi ana nera Rama kumateti Efraemi naga'pinti nekino, nefa agi'a Jerohamu'e. Hagi negeho agi'a Elihu'e, agigomofo agi'a Tuhu'e.
2 Wayelabafazi ababili; omunye wayethiwa nguHana omunye enguPhenina. UPhenina wayelabantwana kodwa uHana engelabo.
Hagi Elkana'a tare a' zanante'neankino magomofo agi'a Hanaki, magomo'a Penina'e. Hagi Penina'a mofavrea ante'neanki, Hana'a mofavre onte'ne.
3 Ngeminyaka yonke indoda le yayisuka emzini wakibo isiyakhonza, inikela lomhlatshelo kuThixo uSomandla eShilo, lapho uHofini loFinehasi, amadodana amabili ka-Eli, ababengabaphristi bakaThixo khona.
Hagi mago mago kafurera Elkana'a a' mofavre'a zamavareno atruhu seli mono noma Sailo me'nerega vuno, Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamofontera monora ome nehuno kresramana vutere hu'ne. Hagi ana knafina Ra Anumzamofo pristi nera Eli mani'neankino, tare mofavre'amokizni zanagi'a Hofanie'ene Finiasike. Hagi zanagra neznafana aza huke ana knafina pristi eri'zana eri'na'e.
4 Kwakusithi kungafika isikhathi sokuthi u-Elikhana anikele umhlatshelo, wayenika umkakhe uPhenina lawo wonke amadodana lamadodakazi akhe izabelo zenyama.
Hagi Elkana'ma ofama erino'ma egezama kresramnama vazanknarera Peninane maka ne'mofa'anena ana ofafintira ame'a refako huno zamitere hu'ne.
5 Kodwa uHana wayemnika isabelo esiphindwe kabili ngoba wayemthanda, kodwa uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe.
Hianagi Hanana Ra Anumzamo'a rimpa erigigeno mofavrea onte'neanagi, Elkana'a avesinteno ante agofetu huno ofama nehifintira rama'a zantami amitere hu'ne.
6 Njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe, unyanewabo wayehlala emgolomba ukuze amcaphule.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Hanama rimpama erigigeno mofavrema onte'nea zankura Penina'a kiza zokago ke hunteno, maka knafina azeri haviza hutere higeno, rimpamo'a ata negrigeno asunku zampi Hana'a manitere hu'ne.
7 Lokhu kwaqhubeka iminyaka yonke. Ngezikhathi zonke lapho uHana eye endlini kaThixo, unyanewabo wayemgolomba aze akhale njalo ehluleke lokudla.
Hagi kafune kafunema Ra Anumzamofo seli mono nontegama vuterema nehazageno'a, Penina'a Hanana ana kege huntetere nehuno, arimpa eri haviza nehigeno Hana'a zaviraneteno ne'zana onetere hu'ne.
8 U-Elikhana umkakhe, wayesithi kuye, “Hana, ukhalelani na? Kungani ungadli na? Kungani udanile? Kuwe angiqakathekanga ukwedlula amadodana alitshumi na?”
Ana'ma higeno'a neve' Elkana'a amanage hu'ne, Nahigenka ne'zana a'o nehankeno krimpa haviza nehigenka zavira netane? Kagra 10ni'a Mofavre antegahananagi antahintahikafina nagrikura kavesinantegahane.
9 Kwake kwathi sebeqede ukudla lokunatha eShilo, uHana wasukuma. Ngalesosikhathi u-Eli umphristi wayehlezi esihlalweni phansi kwensika yomnyango wethempeli likaThixo.
Hagi mago zupa Sailo kumate mani'ne'za ne'zane tinema nevagaretazageno, Hana'a otino nunamu hunaku mono nontega vu'ne. Hagi ana knarera pristi ne' Eli'a Ra Anumzamofo seli mono nonpima ufre kahante pristi vahe'ma nemaniza trate mani'ne.
10 Ngobuhlungu bomoya uHana wakhala kakhulu njalo wakhuleka kuThixo.
Hagi Hana'a rama'a asunku nehuno zavira neteno agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna nehuno,
11 Wafunga esithi, “Awu, Thixo Somandla, nxa ungakhangela nje usizi lwencekukazi yakho ungikhumbule, njalo ungayikhohlwa incekukazi yakho kodwa uyiphe indodana, lapho-ke ngizayinika uThixo okwensuku zonke zokuphila kwayo, njalo akulampuco ezasetshenziswe ekhanda layo.”
Ra Anumzamofontega amanage huno huvempagea hu'ne, Ra Anumzana hanavenentake hu'namoka eri'za akamo'na natazana negenka, kasunku hunantenka ne' mofavrea nami'nanke'na, ete ana mofavrea Ra Anumzamoka kagri kaminenkeno, mika zupa kagrane manigahie. Hagi ana mofavrema Ra Anumzamokare'ma azeri ruotge hu avame'zama mesiana, azokara oharetfa hugahie.
12 Ekuqhubekeni kwakhe uHana ekhuleka kuThixo, u-Eli wananzelela umlomo wakhe.
Hagi Hanama antahintahifima nunamuma huno Ra Anumzamofoma antahinegegeno'a Eli'a ana a'mofo agipi keteno mani'ne.
13 UHana wayekhulekela enhliziyweni yakhe, izindebe zakhe zinyikinyeka kodwa ilizwi lakhe lingezwakali. U-Eli wacabanga ukuthi wayedakiwe,
Hana'a antahintahifi nunamuna nehigeno, agi'mo'a kaza hianagi nunamuma hia agerura Eli'a ontahi'ne. Ana'ma hia zankura Eli'a agesama antahiana Hana'a akati ne'neno negi ne'negahie huno hu'ne.
14 ngakho wathi kuye, “Koze kube nini ulokhu udakwa na? Yekela iwayini lakho.”
Anage nehuno Eli'a amanage hu'ne, Aka ti nenenka neginenananki aka tima nenanazana atro.
15 “Akunjalo nkosi yami,” uHana waphendula. “Ngingowesifazane ohlupheke kakhulu. Kangizange nginathe iwayini kumbe utshwala. Kade ngisethula umphefumulo wami kuThixo.
Hianagi Hana'a kenona'a amanage hu'ne, ra ne'moka nagra anara osu'noanki, nagu'afina knaza me'nege'na ana knazani'a eri'na Ra Anumzamofontega eme huama nehue.
16 Ungathathi incekukazi yakho njengowesifazane ogangileyo; kade ngikhuleka lapha ngenxa yosizi lwami olukhulu kanye lobuhlungu.”
Hagi nagrikura havi are hunka kagesa antahionamio, nagra nasuzampine, nata zampi mani'ne'na nunamuna nehue.
17 U-Eli waphendula wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula, sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli angakupha lokho okucele kuye.”
Higeno Eli'a kenona amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a antahigana zana amane kamigahianki, krimpa fru nehunka vuo.
18 UHana wathi, “Sengathi incekukazi yakho ingathola umusa emehlweni akho.” Lapho-ke wasuka wahamba, wadla, njalo ubuso bakhe babungasadananga.
Higeno Hana'a huno, ra ne'moka eri'za akamo'na antahinamio, huno Elina nesamino vuno ne'zana ome neneno, mago'ene asuzampina omani'ne.
19 Ekuseni okwalandelayo bavuka bayakhonza phambi kukaThixo basebebuyela emzini wabo eRama. U-Elikhana walala loHana umkakhe, uThixo wamkhumbula.
Hagi anante nanterana maka naga'mo'za oti'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga monora hute'za, ete kumazamirega Rama vu'naze. Hagi Elkana'a nenaro Hanana anteno masegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Hana'ma nunamuma hu'nea zanku antahimi'ne.
20 Ngakho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uHana wathatha isisu wazala indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguSamuyeli, esithi, “Ngoba ngamcela kuThixo.”
Ana higeno Hana'a amu'ene huno ne' mofavre kasenteno, Ra Anumzamofo antahigogeno namie nehuno, Samueli'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
21 Kwathi lapho u-Elikhana ehamba labendlu yakhe bonke ukuyanikela umhlatshelo weminyaka yonke kuThixo lokugcwalisa isifungo sakhe,
Hagi anante kafurera Elkana'a a' mofavre'ane kafugu kafugu'ma Ra Anumzamofontega kre sramana nevazaza hu'za kresramana nevu'za, huvempa kema hu'nea kema eri knare hanagu Sailo kumate vu'naze.
22 uHana kahambanga. Wathi kumkakhe, “Emva kokuba umfana eselunyulwe, ngizamthatha ngiyemethula phambi kukaThixo, njalo uzahlala khona kokuphela.”
Hianagi Hana'a zamagranena marerino ovu nemanino amanage huno nevena asami'ne, Mofavremo'ma amima atresanige'na avre'na vanugeno Ra Anumzamofo nompi umani vava hugahie.
23 U-Elikhana umkakhe wathi kuye, “Yenza lokho okukhanya kukuhle kuwe. Hlala khonapho uze umkhuphe ebeleni; kuphela nje sengathi uThixo angagcwalisa ilizwi lakhe.” Ngakho owesifazane wahlala ekhaya wondla indodana yakhe waze wayilumula.
Higeno Elkana'a kenona'a hunteno kagrama antahisankeno knare'ma haniaza hunka maninenka mofavre amina neminka azeri ra huo. Hagi mani'negeno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huvempage hu'nana zana kazeri knare hanie. Higeno Hana'a ovu mani'neno mofavrea kegava huso'e nehigeno, ra huno amina atre'ne.
24 Emva kokuba esekhutshiwe ebeleni, wahamba lomfana, emncane enjalo kanye lenkunzi eyayileminyaka emithathu ubudala, lehefa lempuphu yengqoloyi kanye lembodlela yewayini, wamusa endlini kaThixo eShilo.
Hagi ana mofavremo'ma rama huno amima netregeno'a osi mofavre mani'neanagi nerera'a nevreno, 3'a kafu hu'nea bulimakaonki, 10ni'a kilo hu'nea flauaki, mago tafempi waini tina e'nerino, ana mofavrenena avreno Ra Anumzamofo nontega Sailo kumate marerino vu'ne.
25 Kwathi inkunzi sebeyihlabile, bamhambisa umfana ku-Eli,
Hagi ana bulimakaoma ahegite'za, ana mofavrea avre'za Elinte vu'naze.
26 uHana wasesithi kuye, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ukhona, nkosi yami, mina ngingulowana umfazi owema phansi kwakho ekhuleka kuThixo.
Hana'a amanage huno Elina asami'ne, ranimoke, ko'ma tava'onire'ma amare'ma mani'nankena'ma, Ra Anumzamofoma antahige'noa a' oe.
27 Ngakhulekela umntwana lo, njalo uThixo usengiphile engakucelayo.
Ama mofavrea nunamu hu'na Ra Anumzamofo antahigogeno nunamuni'ama antahinamino nami'nea mofavre.
28 Ngakho khathesi sengimnika uThixo. Uzanikwa uThixo impilo yakhe yonke.” Wakhonza uThixo khonapho.
Ana hu'negu menina ama mofavrea Ra Anumzamofo ami vagaroankino mani'noma vania knafina Ra Anumzamofo vahere huno manino vugahie. Na'ankure ana mofavremo'a Ra Anumzamofo nompi mika kna mani'neno, Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana erigahie. Higeno agra anampi Ra Anumzamofo agi erisga hu'ne.
