1 Samueri 2
1 Ipapo Hana akanyengetera achiti: “Mwoyo wangu unofara muna Jehovha; muna Jehovha runyanga rwangu rwasimudzirwa kumusoro. Muromo wangu unotaura usingatyi pamusoro pavavengi vangu, nokuti ndinofarira ruponeso rwenyu.
Ndipo Hana anapemphera nati, “Moyo wanga ukukondwera mwa Yehova; Ndiyenda mwa tukumutukumu chifukwa cha Yehova. Pakamwa panga pakula ndi kuseka adani anga mowanyogodola. Ndikukondwa chifukwa mwandipulumutsa.
2 “Hakuna mutsvene akaita saJehovha; hakuna mumwe kunze kwenyu; hakuna Dombo rakaita saMwari wedu.
“Palibe wina woyera ngati Yehova, palibe wina koma inu nokha, palibe thanthwe lofanana ndi Mulungu wathu.
3 “Usaramba uchitaura uchizvikudza uye manyawi ngaarege kubuda mumuromo mako, nokuti Jehovha ndiMwari anoziva, uye naye mabasa anoyerwa.
“Musandiyankhulenso modzitama, pakamwa panu pasatuluke zonyada, pakuti Yehova ndi Mulungu wanzeru, ndipo ndiye amene amayesa ntchito za anthu onse.
4 “Uta hwavarwi hwatyorwa, asi avo vakagumburwa vashongedzwa simba.
“Mauta a anthu ankhondo athyoka koma anthu ofowoka avala dzilimbe.
5 Avo vaiva vakaguta vakandoshandira zvokudya zvavo, asi avo vaiva nenzara havachanzwi nzara zvakare. Uyo aiva asingabereki abereka vana vanomwe, asi iye akanga ana vana vazhinji oshayiwa simba.
Amene kale anali okhuta tsopano akukagula chakudya, koma iwo amene anali ndi njala sakumvanso njala. Amene anali wosabereka, wabereka ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri, koma iye wobereka ana ambiri watsala yekha.
“Yehova amabweretsa imfa ndipo amaperekanso moyo, amatsitsira ku manda ndipo amawatulutsakonso. (Sheol h7585)
7 Jehovha ndiye anopa urombo uye noupfumi; uye anoninipisa uye anosimudzira.
Yehova amasaukitsa ndipo amalemeretsa, amatsitsa ndipo amakweza.
8 Anosimudza varombo kubva paguruva uye anosimudza vanoshaya kubva padurunhuru ramadota; anovagarisa namachinda uye anovaita kuti vagare nhaka yechigaro choumambo chokukudzwa. “Nokuti nheyo dzenyika ndedzaJehovha, pamusoro padzo akamisa nyika.
Iye amakweza osauka kuwachotsa pa fumbi, ndipo amachotsa anthu osowa pa dzala. Iye amawakhazika pamodzi ndi ana a mafumu, amawapatsa mpando waulemu. “Pakuti nsanamira za dziko lapansi ndi za Yehova, anakhazika dziko lapansi pa nsanamirazo.
9 Acharinda tsoka dzavatsvene vake, asi vakaipa vachanyaradzwa murima. “Nokuti hakuna munhu achakunda nesimba rake.
Iye adzateteza moyo wa anthu okhulupirika koma anthu oyipa adzawonongedwa mu mdima. “Pakuti munthu sapambana ndi mphamvu zake.
10 Avo vanopikisa Jehovha vachaparadzwa. Achavatinhirira ari kudenga; Jehovha achatonga magumo enyika. “Achapa simba kuna mambo wake, uye achasimudzira runyanga rwomuzodziwa wake.”
Yehova adzaphwanya omutsutsa. Adzawaopsa ndi bingu kuchokera kumwamba; Yehova adzaweruza mathero a dziko lapansi. “Koma adzapereka mphamvu kwa mfumu yake, adzakuza mphamvu za odzozedwa wake.”
11 Zvino Erikana akaenda kumusha kwake kuRama, asi mukomana akashumira pamberi paJehovha ari pasi paEri muprista.
Tsono Elikana anapita ku mudzi kwawo ku Rama, koma mnyamatayo amatumikira Yehova pansi pa ulamuliro wa wansembe Eli.
12 Vanakomana vaEri vakanga vari vanhu vakaipa; vakanga vasina hanya naJehovha.
Ana a Eli anali ana achabechabe pakuti samasamala za Yehova.
13 Zvino yakanga iri tsika yavaprista kuvanhu kuti munhu paaibayira chibayiro uye nyama ichiri kubikwa, muranda womuprista aiuya neforogo ine zvibayiso zvitatu muruoko rwake.
Ndipo chizolowezi cha ansembe pakati pa anthu chinali motere kuti pamene munthu aliyense ankapereka nsembe ndipo nyama ija ikuwira pa moto, mtumiki wa wansembe ankabwera ndi chifoloko cha mano atatu mʼdzanja lake.
14 Aiinyudza mugango, kana muhadyana, kana mugate kana mupoto, ipapo muprista ozvitorera chero zvainge zvabudiswa neforogo. Aya ndiwo mabatiro avaiita nawo vaIsraeri vose vaiuya kuShiro.
Iye ankachipisa mu mʼphikamo, ndipo wansembeyo amatenga chilichonse chimene folokoyo yabaya. Umu ndi mmene ansembewo amachitira ndi Aisraeli onse amene amabwera ku Silo.
15 Asi, kunyange mafuta asati atsva, muranda womuprista aiuya achiti kumurume aibayira chibayiro, “Ipa muprista nyama yokugocha; haasi kuzogamuchira nyama yakabikwa kubva kwauri, asi mbishi chete.”
Ndipo ngakhale mafuta asanatenthedwe, mtumiki wansembe amabwera ndi kunena kwa munthu amene akupereka nsembeyo kuti, “Ndipatse nyama kuti ndiwotche, pakuti Yehova salandira nyama yophika koma yayiwisi.”
16 Kana murume uya aiti kwaari, “Rega mafuta ambotanga atsva uye iwe ugozotora chero zvaunoda,” muranda aibva apindura achiti, “Kwete, ndipe kuno izvozvi; kana ukasandipa ndichaitora nechisimba.”
Ngati munthuyo anena kuti, “Apseretu mafuta poyamba, ndipo kenaka mutenge mmene mufunira,” mtumikiyo amayankha kuti, “Ayi ndipatse tsopano lino. Ngati sutero, ine nditenga molanda.”
17 Ichi chivi chamajaya aya chaiva chakakura kwazvo pamberi paJehovha, nokuti vaizvidza chipo chaJehovha.
Tchimo la ana a Eli linali lalikulu kwambiri pamaso pa Yehova pakuti iwo amanyoza nsembe za Yehova.
18 Asi Samueri aishumira pamberi paJehovha, mukomana aive akapfeka efodhi yomucheka.
Koma Samueli amatumikira pamaso pa Yehova atavala efodi ya nsalu yofewa yosalala.
19 Gore rimwe nerimwe, mai vake vaimuitira nguo diki uye vaienda nayo kwaari pavaienda nomurume wavo kundopa chibayiro chegore.
Chaka chilichonse amayi ake ankamusokera kamkanjo ndi kukamupatsa akamapita ndi mwamuna wake kukapereka nsembe za pa chaka.
20 Eri aibva aropafadza Erikana nomukadzi wake achiti, “Jehovha ngaakupe vana nomukadzi uyu kuti vatore nzvimbo youyo waakakumbira uye akamupa kuna Jehovha.” Ipapo vaibva vaenda kumusha kwavo.
Tsono Eli amadalitsa Elikana ndi mkazi wake ndi mawu akuti “Yehova akupatseni ana mwa mkazi uyu kulowa mʼmalo mwa amene anapempha ndi kumupereka kwa Yehova.”
21 Zvino Jehovha akava nenyasha kuna Hana; akabata pamuviri akabereka vanakomana vatatu navanasikana vaviri. Zvichakadaro, mukomana uyu Samueri akakura ari pamberi paJehovha.
Ndipo Yehova anamukomera mtima Hana. Anakhala ndi pathupi ndi kubereka ana aamuna atatu ndi ana aakazi awiri. Ndipo Samueli ankakula pamaso pa Yehova.
22 Zvino Eri, uyo akanga akwegura kwazvo, akanzwa zvose zvaiitwa navanakomana vake kuvaIsraeri vose zvokuti vairara namadzimai aishumira pasuo reTende Rokusangana.
Tsono Eli anakalamba kwambiri. Iye ankamva zonse zimene ana ake aamuna ankachitira Aisraeli onse, ndiponso kuti ankagona ndi akazi pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano.
23 Saka akati kwavari, “Sei muchiita zvinhu zvakadai? Ndinonzwa navanhu vose pamusoro pezviito zvenyu zvakaipa izvi.
Choncho anawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukuchita zinthu zotere? Ine ndikumva kuchokera kwa anthu onse za zoyipa zanuzo.
24 Kwete, vana vangu; harisi shoko rakanaka randinonzwa richipararira pakati pavanhu vaJehovha.
Ayi, ana anga si mbiri yabwino imene ndikumva anthu a Mulungu akufalitsa.
25 Kana munhu akatadzira mumwe munhu, Mwari angamumiririre, asi kana munhu akatadzira Jehovha, ndiani angamumiririre?” Kunyange zvakadaro, vanakomana vake havana kuteerera kutsiura kwababa vavo, nokuti kwaiva kuda kwaJehovha kuti avauraye.
Ngati munthu alakwira munthu mnzake, mwina Mulungu adzamupepesera, koma ngati munthu achimwira Yehova adzamupepesera ndani?” Koma ana ake sanamvere kudzudzula kwa abambo awo, pakuti chinali cholinga cha Yehova kuti awaphe.
26 Zvino mukomana uyu Samueri akaramba achikura pamumhu uye napakudiwa naJehovha navanhu.
Ndipo mnyamata Samueli anapitirira kukula mu msinkhu, ndipo ankapeza kuyanja pamaso pa Yehova ndi anthu.
27 Zvino munhu waMwari akauya kuna Eri akati kwaari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Handina kuzviratidza pachena kuimba yababa vako here pavaiva muIjipiti pasi paFaro?
Tsiku lina munthu wa Mulungu anabwera kwa Eli ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Yehova akuti, ‘Kodi Ine sindinadziwulule ndekha kwa banja la kholo lako pamene iwo anali akapolo a Farao ku Igupto?
28 Ndakasarudza baba vako kubva kumarudzi ose aIsraeri kuti vave muprista wangu, kuti vakwire kuaritari yangu, kundopisa zvinonhuhwira, uye kuti vapfeke efodhi pamberi pangu. Ndakapawo imba yababa vako zvose zvipiriso zvaipiswa navaIsraeri.
Ndipo ndinamusankha pakati pa mafuko a Israeli kuti akhale wansembe wanga ndi kuti azipita pa guwa langa la nsembe, kufukiza Lubani ndi kuvala efodi pamaso panga. Ndinapatsa banja la abambo ako gawo la nsembe zonse zopsereza zimene Aisraeli amapereka.
29 Sei muchizvidza chibayiro changu nechipiriso changu, zvandakarayira mumba mangu? Sei muchikudza vanakomana venyu kudarika ini nokuzvikudza pachenyu nezvikamu zvakanakisisa zvezvipiriso zvose zvinopiwa navanhu vangu veIsraeri?’
Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukunyoza nsembe ndi zopereka zanga zimene ndinalamula? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukupereka ulemu kwa ana ako kuposa Ine podzinenepetsa nokha ndi zopereka zabwino kwambiri za nsembe zimene Aisraeli amapereka?’”
30 “Naizvozvo Jehovha, Mwari weIsraeri, anoti, ‘Ndakavimbisa kuti imba yako neimba yababa vako dzichashumira pamberi pangu nokusingaperi.’ Asi zvino Jehovha anoti, ‘Ngazvive kure neni! Avo vanondikudza ndichavakudza, asi avo vanondizvidza vachadzikisiswa.
“Paja Ine Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ‘Ndinalonjeza kuti anthu a pa banja lako ndi a pa banja la abambo ako azidzanditumikira nthawi zonse.’ Koma tsopano ndikuti, ‘Zonsezi zithe!’ Tsopano anthu amene amandilemekeza Inenso ndidzawalemekeza koma iwo amene amandinyoza Ine ndidzawanyoza.
31 Nguva iri kuuya yandichagura simba rako nesimba reimba yababa vako, zvokuti hakuchazova nomutana mumhuri yako

33 Mumwe nomumwe wenyu wandisingabvisi paaritari yangu achasiyiwa kuti apofumadze meso enyu nemisodzi uye kuti arwadzise mwoyo yenyu, uye zvizvarwa zvako zvose zvichafa zvichine simba.
Komabe pa banja lako mmodzi yekha ndidzamuleka wosamuchotsa kuti azidzanditumikira. Iyeyu azidzakuliritsa ndi kukumvetsa chisoni. Koma ena onse pa banja lako adzafa akanali aangʼono.”
34 “‘Uye zvichaitika kuvanakomana vako vaviri, Hofini naFinehasi zvichava chiratidzo kwauri, vachafa vose zuva rimwe chete.
“‘Ndipo chimene chidzachitike kwa ana ako awiriwa, Hofini ndi Finehasi, chidzakhala chizindikiro kwa iwe. Onse awiri adzafa pa tsiku limodzi.
35 Ndichazvimutsira muprista akatendeka, achaita zvinoenderana nezviri mumwoyo mangu nomundangariro dzangu. Ndichamisa imba yake zvakasimba, uye achashumira pamberi pomuzodziwa wangu nguva dzose.
Pambuyo pake ndidzasankha wansembe wokhulupirika, amene adzachita zimene zili mu mtima ndi mʼmaganizo mwanga. Ndidzakhazikitsa banja lako kolimba ndipo adzatumikira pamaso pa wodzozedwa wanga nthawi zonse.

Ndipo aliyense wotsala wa banja lako adzabwera ndi kugwada pamaso pake kupempha ndalama kapena chakudya.’ Adzati, ‘Chonde ndiloleni kuti ndizithandizako pa ntchito iliyonse ya unsembe kuti ndipeze chakudya.’”
