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.
Namicha biyya gaara Efreem keessa Raamaatayiim Zoofiim jiraatu kan maqaan isaa Elqaanaa jedhamu tokkotu ture; innis ilma Yeroohaam, ilma Eliihuu, ilma Toohuu, ilma Zuufi, ilma Naasiib ture.
2 Wayelabafazi ababili; omunye wayethiwa nguHana omunye enguPhenina. UPhenina wayelabantwana kodwa uHana engelabo.
Innis niitii lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee tokko Haannaa, kaan immoo Pheniinaa jedhama ture. Pheniinaan ijoollee qabdi; Haannaan garuu ijoollee tokko illee hin qabdu ture.
3 Ngeminyaka yonke indoda le yayisuka emzini wakibo isiyakhonza, inikela lomhlatshelo kuThixo uSomandla eShilo, lapho uHofini loFinehasi, amadodana amabili ka-Eli, ababengabaphristi bakaThixo khona.
Elqaanaan wagguma waggaadhaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf aarsaa dhiʼeessuu fi sagaduudhaaf magaalaa jiraatuu kaʼee gara Shiilootti ol baʼa ture. Achittis ilmaan Eelii lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaas luboota Waaqayyoo turan.
4 Kwakusithi kungafika isikhathi sokuthi u-Elikhana anikele umhlatshelo, wayenika umkakhe uPhenina lawo wonke amadodana lamadodakazi akhe izabelo zenyama.
Yommuu guyyaan itti Elqaanaan aarsaa dhiʼeessu gaʼutti inni niitii isaa Pheniinaa, ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa hundaaf foon sana irraa qooda isaanii ni kenna ture.
5 Kodwa uHana wayemnika isabelo esiphindwe kabili ngoba wayemthanda, kodwa uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe.
Inni sababii Haannaa jaallatuuf qooda harka lama isheedhaaf kenna ture; Waaqayyo garuu gadameessa ishee cufee ture.
6 Njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe, unyanewabo wayehlala emgolomba ukuze amcaphule.
Sababii Waaqayyo gadameessa Haannaa cufeef masaanuun ishee akka isheen aartuuf ishee tuttuqaa turte.
7 Lokhu kwaqhubeka iminyaka yonke. Ngezikhathi zonke lapho uHana eye endlini kaThixo, unyanewabo wayemgolomba aze akhale njalo ehluleke lokudla.
Kunis wagguma waggaadhaan itti fufe. Yeroo Haannaan gara mana Waaqayyootti ol baatutti masaanuun ishee, ishee tuttuqaa turte; kanaafuu Haannaan ni boossi, nyaatas hin nyaattu turte.
8 U-Elikhana umkakhe, wayesithi kuye, “Hana, ukhalelani na? Kungani ungadli na? Kungani udanile? Kuwe angiqakathekanga ukwedlula amadodana alitshumi na?”
Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Haannaa ati maaliif boossa? Maaliif hin nyaattu? Garaan kee maaliif gaddaa? Ani ilmaan kudhan siif hin caaluu?” Isheen jedha ture.
9 Kwake kwathi sebeqede ukudla lokunatha eShilo, uHana wasukuma. Ngalesosikhathi u-Eli umphristi wayehlezi esihlalweni phansi kwensika yomnyango wethempeli likaThixo.
Gaafa tokko isaan Shiilootti erga nyaatanii dhuganii booddee Haannaan ol kaatee dhaabate. Eeliin lubichi dhaaba balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira barcuma irra taaʼaa ture.
10 Ngobuhlungu bomoya uHana wakhala kakhulu njalo wakhuleka kuThixo.
Haannaanis guddaa gadditee hiqqifatee booʼuudhaan Waaqayyoon kadhatte.
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.”
Akkanas jettee wareegde; “Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, yoo ati dhiphina garbittii keetii ilaaltee na yaadatte, yoo ati garbittii kee dagachuu baattee ilma naa kennite ani bara jireenya isaa guutuu isa Waaqayyoof nan kenna; qarabaan tokko iyyuu mataa isaa hin tuqu.”
12 Ekuqhubekeni kwakhe uHana ekhuleka kuThixo, u-Eli wananzelela umlomo wakhe.
Yeroo Haannaan ittuma fuftee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti kadhachaa turtettis Eeliin afaan ishee ilaalaa ture.
13 UHana wayekhulekela enhliziyweni yakhe, izindebe zakhe zinyikinyeka kodwa ilizwi lakhe lingezwakali. U-Eli wacabanga ukuthi wayedakiwe,
Haannaanis garaa isheetti kadhachaa turte; hidhii isheetu sochoʼa malees sagaleen ishee hin dhagaʼamu ture. Kanaafuu Eeliin waan isheen machoofte seʼee,
14 ngakho wathi kuye, “Koze kube nini ulokhu udakwa na? Yekela iwayini lakho.”
“Ati hamma yoomiitti machoofta? Daadhii wayinii kee of irraa fageessi” jedheen.
15 “Akunjalo nkosi yami,” uHana waphendula. “Ngingowesifazane ohlupheke kakhulu. Kangizange nginathe iwayini kumbe utshwala. Kade ngisethula umphefumulo wami kuThixo.
Haannaanis akkana jettee deebifte; “Lakki akkas miti; yaa gooftaa ko, ani dubartii akka malee dhiphatee dha. Ani lubbuu koo fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase malee daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne.
16 Ungathathi incekukazi yakho njengowesifazane ogangileyo; kade ngikhuleka lapha ngenxa yosizi lwami olukhulu kanye lobuhlungu.”
Ati garbittii kee akka dubartii faayidaa hin qabne tokkootti hin ilaalin. Ani sababii dhiphinaa fi gadda koo guddaa sanaatiif hamma ammaatti kadhachaara.”
17 U-Eli waphendula wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula, sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli angakupha lokho okucele kuye.”
Eeliinis, “Nagaan deemi; Waaqni Israaʼel waan ati kadhatte siif haa kennu” jedhee deebiseef.
18 UHana wathi, “Sengathi incekukazi yakho ingathola umusa emehlweni akho.” Lapho-ke wasuka wahamba, wadla, njalo ubuso bakhe babungasadananga.
Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee fuula kee duratti surraa haa argattu” jette. Ergasiis deemsa ishee itti fufte; nyaata ni nyaatte; gaddis fuula ishee irratti hin mulʼanne.
19 Ekuseni okwalandelayo bavuka bayakhonza phambi kukaThixo basebebuyela emzini wabo eRama. U-Elikhana walala loHana umkakhe, uThixo wamkhumbula.
Isaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii kaʼanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti sagadanii gara mana isaanii Raamaatti deebiʼan. Elqaanaan niitii isaa Haannaa bira gaʼe; Waaqayyos ishee yaadate.
20 Ngakho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uHana wathatha isisu wazala indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguSamuyeli, esithi, “Ngoba ngamcela kuThixo.”
Haannaan ulfooftee yeroon isaa geenyaan ilma deesse. Maqaa isaas, “Ani Waaqayyo irraa isa kadhadheeraatii” jettee Saamuʼeel jettee moggaafte.
21 Kwathi lapho u-Elikhana ehamba labendlu yakhe bonke ukuyanikela umhlatshelo weminyaka yonke kuThixo lokugcwalisa isifungo sakhe,
Elqaanaan warra mana isaa jiraatan hunda wajjin Waaqayyoof aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuu fi wareega isaa galchuuf ol baʼe;
22 uHana kahambanga. Wathi kumkakhe, “Emva kokuba umfana eselunyulwe, ngizamthatha ngiyemethula phambi kukaThixo, njalo uzahlala khona kokuphela.”
Haannaan garuu hin dhaqne. Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin, “Erga mucaan kun harma guʼee booddee ani isa geesseen fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isa dhiʼeessa; innis jireenya isaa guutuu achuma jiraata” jette.
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.
Dhirsi ishee Elqaanaanis, “Waanuma jaallatte godhi; ati hamma harma isa guusiftutti asuma turi; Waaqayyo garuu dubbii isaa fiixaan haa baasu” jedheen. Kanaafuu dubartittiin mana turtee hamma harma isa guusiftutti ilma ishee hoosifte.
24 Emva kokuba esekhutshiwe ebeleni, wahamba lomfana, emncane enjalo kanye lenkunzi eyayileminyaka emithathu ubudala, lehefa lempuphu yengqoloyi kanye lembodlela yewayini, wamusa endlini kaThixo eShilo.
Ishee erga mucicha harma guusiftee booddee mucichaa fi dibicha loonii kan umuriin isaa waggaa sadii taʼe, daakuu iifii tokkoo fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko fudhattee gara Shiiloo gara mana Waaqayyootti fidde. Mucichis daaʼima ture.
25 Kwathi inkunzi sebeyihlabile, bamhambisa umfana ku-Eli,
Isaanis dibicha sana qalanii mucicha gara Eeliitti fidan;
26 uHana wasesithi kuye, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ukhona, nkosi yami, mina ngingulowana umfazi owema phansi kwakho ekhuleka kuThixo.
isheenis akkana jetteen; “Yaa gooftaa ko, duʼa lubbuu keetii ti; dubartiin as si bira dhaabattee Waaqayyoon kadhachaa turte sun anuma.
27 Ngakhulekela umntwana lo, njalo uThixo usengiphile engakucelayo.
Ani mucaa kana argachuuf kadhadheera; Waaqayyos waan ani isa kadhadhe naaf kenneera.
28 Ngakho khathesi sengimnika uThixo. Uzanikwa uThixo impilo yakhe yonke.” Wakhonza uThixo khonapho.
Kanaafuu ani amma Waaqayyoofan isa kenna. Bara jireenya isaa guutuu Waaqayyoof ni kennama.” Isaanis achitti Waaqayyoof sagadan.
