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.
Oasr sie mwet su pangpang Elkanah in sruf lal Ephraim, su muta in Ramah in eol Ephraim. El wen natul Jeroham, su ma natul Elihu ac ma in sou lal Tohu, su ma in ota lal Zuph.
2 Wayelabafazi ababili; omunye wayethiwa nguHana omunye enguPhenina. UPhenina wayelabantwana kodwa uHana engelabo.
Oasr mutan luo kial Elkanah: ineltal pa Hannah ac Peninnah. Oasr tulik natul Peninnah, a wangin tulik natul Hannah.
3 Ngeminyaka yonke indoda le yayisuka emzini wakibo isiyakhonza, inikela lomhlatshelo kuThixo uSomandla eShilo, lapho uHofini loFinehasi, amadodana amabili ka-Eli, ababengabaphristi bakaThixo khona.
Yac nukewa Elkanah el ac som liki acn Ramah nu Shiloh in alu ac orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD Kulana. Hophni ac Phinehas, wen luo natul Eli, eltal mwet tol lun LEUM GOD we.
4 Kwakusithi kungafika isikhathi sokuthi u-Elikhana anikele umhlatshelo, wayenika umkakhe uPhenina lawo wonke amadodana lamadodakazi akhe izabelo zenyama.
Kais sie pacl Elkanah el oru mwe kisa lal, el ac sang ip se nu sel Peninnah ac kais sie ip nu sin wen ac acn natul.
5 Kodwa uHana wayemnika isabelo esiphindwe kabili ngoba wayemthanda, kodwa uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe.
Elkanah el ne arulana lungse Hannah yohk, tuh el ac sang ip sefanna nu sel ke sripen LEUM GOD El kaliya insial tuh in wangin tulik natul.
6 Njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe, unyanewabo wayehlala emgolomba ukuze amcaphule.
Peninnah el lungse angnol Hannah ke sripen God El aktalapyal, oru arulana toasr insial Hannah kac.
7 Lokhu kwaqhubeka iminyaka yonke. Ngezikhathi zonke lapho uHana eye endlini kaThixo, unyanewabo wayemgolomba aze akhale njalo ehluleke lokudla.
Lumah se inge orek yac nu ke yac — pacl nukewa ma elos ac som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD, Peninnah el ac aktoasryal Hannah, oru el tung ac tia pac lungse mongo.
8 U-Elikhana umkakhe, wayesithi kuye, “Hana, ukhalelani na? Kungani ungadli na? Kungani udanile? Kuwe angiqakathekanga ukwedlula amadodana alitshumi na?”
Elkanah, mukul tumal, el ac fahk, “Hannah, efu ku kom tung? Efu ku kom tia mongo? Efu ku kom toasr pacl nukewa? Ya nga tia wo liki wen singoul nu sum?”
9 Kwake kwathi sebeqede ukudla lokunatha eShilo, uHana wasukuma. Ngalesosikhathi u-Eli umphristi wayehlezi esihlalweni phansi kwensika yomnyango wethempeli likaThixo.
Sie pacl ah tukun elos mongo ac nim tari in lohm sin LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh, Hannah el tuyak ac fahkulak sifacna ye mutun LEUM GOD. Eli, mwet tol, el muta ke nien muta lal sisken sru in mutunoa ke tempul lun LEUM GOD.
10 Ngobuhlungu bomoya uHana wakhala kakhulu njalo wakhuleka kuThixo.
Hannah el arulana supwar, ac el arulana tung ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
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.”
Na el oru sie wulela na ku ac fahk, “LEUM GOD kulana, liyeyu, mwet kulansap lom! Liye mwe keok luk ac esamyu! Nikmet mulkinyula! Kom fin ase sie wen nutik, nga ac fah kisakunulot nu sum tuh elan sie mwet Nazirite in moul lal nufon. El ac fah tia nim wain ku kutena mwe nim ku, oayapa ac fah tiana kalkulla insifal.”
12 Ekuqhubekeni kwakhe uHana ekhuleka kuThixo, u-Eli wananzelela umlomo wakhe.
Hannah el pre ke pacl na loes se, ac Eli el ngetang liye oalul.
13 UHana wayekhulekela enhliziyweni yakhe, izindebe zakhe zinyikinyeka kodwa ilizwi lakhe lingezwakali. U-Eli wacabanga ukuthi wayedakiwe,
Hannah el pre ke insial. Ngoasrol mukuikui a wangin pusracl, oru Eli el nunku mu Hannah el sruhi.
14 ngakho wathi kuye, “Koze kube nini ulokhu udakwa na? Yekela iwayini lakho.”
Ac Eli el fahk nu sel Hannah, “Kom ac sruhi nwe ngac? Tui. Nimet sifilpa nimnim.”
15 “Akunjalo nkosi yami,” uHana waphendula. “Ngingowesifazane ohlupheke kakhulu. Kangizange nginathe iwayini kumbe utshwala. Kade ngisethula umphefumulo wami kuThixo.
Hannah el fahk, “Leum se, nga tia nimnim ac nga tia sruhi. Nga keoklana, ac nga pre ac asang ngunik nufon nu sin LEUM GOD ke mwe keok luk.
16 Ungathathi incekukazi yakho njengowesifazane ogangileyo; kade ngikhuleka lapha ngenxa yosizi lwami olukhulu kanye lobuhlungu.”
Nikmet nunku mu nga sie mutan koluk. Nga pre ke sripen nunak keok lun insiuk.”
17 U-Eli waphendula wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula, sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli angakupha lokho okucele kuye.”
Na Eli el fahk, “Som in misla, ac lela tuh God lun Israel Elan asot mwe siyuk lom an.”
18 UHana wathi, “Sengathi incekukazi yakho ingathola umusa emehlweni akho.” Lapho-ke wasuka wahamba, wadla, njalo ubuso bakhe babungasadananga.
Ac Hannah el fahk, “Lela tuh kulang lom in ouinge nu sik pacl e nukewa.” Ouinge el som ac eis mwe mongo, ac el tia sifil toasr.
19 Ekuseni okwalandelayo bavuka bayakhonza phambi kukaThixo basebebuyela emzini wabo eRama. U-Elikhana walala loHana umkakhe, uThixo wamkhumbula.
Toangna in lotu tok ah Elkanah ac sou lal elos tukakek, ac tukun elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD, elos folokla nu lohm selos in acn Ramah. Elkanah el motul yorol Hannah, mutan kial, ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal Hannah.
20 Ngakho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uHana wathatha isisu wazala indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguSamuyeli, esithi, “Ngoba ngamcela kuThixo.”
Na Hannah el pitutuyak ac el oswela sie wen. Ac el sang inel Samuel, ac fahk, “Mweyen nga tuh siyuk sin LEUM GOD kacl.”
21 Kwathi lapho u-Elikhana ehamba labendlu yakhe bonke ukuyanikela umhlatshelo weminyaka yonke kuThixo lokugcwalisa isifungo sakhe,
Ke sun pacl fal, Elkanah ac sou lal elos sifil som nu Shiloh in oru mwe kisa lal nu sin LEUM GOD oana ke el oru in yac nukewa, ac oayapa in kisakin ma el wulela kac.
22 uHana kahambanga. Wathi kumkakhe, “Emva kokuba umfana eselunyulwe, ngizamthatha ngiyemethula phambi kukaThixo, njalo uzahlala khona kokuphela.”
Tusruktu Hannah el tia wi som se ingan. El fahk nu sin mukul tumal, “Ke pacl se na ma tulik se inge liktitla, na nga fah usalla nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD, ac el ac fah mutana we in moul lal nufon.”
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.
Elkanah el fahk nu sel, “Oru oana kom nunku mu fal. Muta nwe ke kom liktitella tufah kom usalla. Ma se na, lela LEUM GOD Elan oru tuh kom in akpwayeye wulela lom.” Na Hannah el muta liyaung tulik sac nwe ke el liktitella.
24 Emva kokuba esekhutshiwe ebeleni, wahamba lomfana, emncane enjalo kanye lenkunzi eyayileminyaka emithathu ubudala, lehefa lempuphu yengqoloyi kanye lembodlela yewayini, wamusa endlini kaThixo eShilo.
Ke tulik sac liktitla, Hannah el usalla nu Shiloh, wi cow mukul yac tolu matwa, ac sie pak in flao, ac sie pak orekla ke kulun kosro sessesla ke wain. El usal Samuel ke el srakna fusr, ac som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh.
25 Kwathi inkunzi sebeyihlabile, bamhambisa umfana ku-Eli,
Ac ke elos uniya cow soko ah, elos usalla Samuel nu yorol Eli.
26 uHana wasesithi kuye, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ukhona, nkosi yami, mina ngingulowana umfazi owema phansi kwakho ekhuleka kuThixo.
Na Hannah el fahk nu sel Eli, “Leum se, ya kom esamyu? Nga pa mutan se kom tuh liye tu inse inge ac pre nu sin LEUM GOD.
27 Ngakhulekela umntwana lo, njalo uThixo usengiphile engakucelayo.
Nga tuh siyuk sel ke tulik se inge, na pa El ase ma nga siyuk sel.
28 Ngakho khathesi sengimnika uThixo. Uzanikwa uThixo impilo yakhe yonke.” Wakhonza uThixo khonapho.
Ke ma inge nga kisakunulang nu sin LEUM GOD. El ac fah ma lun LEUM GOD in moul lal nufon.” Na elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD we.
