< Samuu'Eel Kowaad 1 >
1 Waxaa jiray nin reer Raamaatayim Soofiim ahaa oo degganaa dalkii buuraha lahaa ee reer Efrayim, magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Elqaanaah, oo wuxuu ahaa ina Yeroxaam, ina Eliihuu, ina Toohuu, ina Suuf, wuxuuna ahaa reer Efraad;
Kwakulendoda ethile yaseRamathayimi, umZufi owayevela elizweni lamaqaqa elako-Efrayimi, ibizo layo lalingu-Elikhana indodana kaJerohamu, indodana ka-Elihu, indodana kaThohu, indodana kaZufi, umʼEfrayimi.
2 oo wuxuu lahaa laba naagood, middood magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Xannaah, tan kale magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Feninnaah. Feninnaah carruur bay lahayd, laakiinse Xannaah carruur ma lahayn.
Wayelabafazi ababili; omunye wayethiwa nguHana omunye enguPhenina. UPhenina wayelabantwana kodwa uHana engelabo.
3 Oo ninkaasu sannad ka sannad wuxuu ka bixi jiray magaaladiisa, oo wuxuu u tegi jiray inuu Rabbiga Ciidammada Shiiloh ku caabudo oo allabari u bixiyo. Oo Ceelii labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Hofnii iyo Fiinexaas, ee Rabbiga wadaaddo u ahaana halkaasay joogeen.
Ngeminyaka yonke indoda le yayisuka emzini wakibo isiyakhonza, inikela lomhlatshelo kuThixo uSomandla eShilo, lapho uHofini loFinehasi, amadodana amabili ka-Eli, ababengabaphristi bakaThixo khona.
4 Oo Elqaanaah maalintii uu allabariga bixiyey ayuu qayb siiyey naagtiisii Feninnaah iyo wiilasheedii iyo gabdhaheedii oo dhan,
Kwakusithi kungafika isikhathi sokuthi u-Elikhana anikele umhlatshelo, wayenika umkakhe uPhenina lawo wonke amadodana lamadodakazi akhe izabelo zenyama.
5 laakiinse Xannaah wuxuu siiyey qayb labanlaab ah; maxaa yeelay, Xannaah wuu jeclaa, laakiinse Rabbigaa maxalkeedii xidhay.
Kodwa uHana wayemnika isabelo esiphindwe kabili ngoba wayemthanda, kodwa uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe.
6 Tii dhibi jirtay ayaa aad uga cadhaysiisay, si ay uga xanaajiso, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa maxalkeedii xidhay.
Njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayesivalile isibeletho sakhe, unyanewabo wayehlala emgolomba ukuze amcaphule.
7 Oo intuu saas yeelayay sannad ka sannad, markii ay gurigii Rabbiga tagtay, ayay ka xanaajisay iyadii, taas daraaddeed way ooyday, oo waxba ma ay cunin.
Lokhu kwaqhubeka iminyaka yonke. Ngezikhathi zonke lapho uHana eye endlini kaThixo, unyanewabo wayemgolomba aze akhale njalo ehluleke lokudla.
8 Markaasaa ninkeedii Elqaanaah wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Xannaah, maxaad u ooyaysaa? Oo maxaad wax u cuni weyday? Oo maxaa qalbigaagu u xumaaday? Miyaanan anigu toban wiil kaaga wanaagsanayn?
U-Elikhana umkakhe, wayesithi kuye, “Hana, ukhalelani na? Kungani ungadli na? Kungani udanile? Kuwe angiqakathekanga ukwedlula amadodana alitshumi na?”
9 Saas aawadeed Xannaah way kacday markii ay Shiiloh wax ku cuneen oo ay wax cabbeen dabadeed. Haddaba wadaadkii Ceelii ahaa wuxuu ku fadhiistay kursigiisii oo ag yiil macbudka Ilaah tiirkiisa.
Kwake kwathi sebeqede ukudla lokunatha eShilo, uHana wasukuma. Ngalesosikhathi u-Eli umphristi wayehlezi esihlalweni phansi kwensika yomnyango wethempeli likaThixo.
10 Iyadu aad bay u murugootay, oo intay ooyday ayay Rabbiga bariday.
Ngobuhlungu bomoya uHana wakhala kakhulu njalo wakhuleka kuThixo.
11 Markaasay nidar nidartay, oo waxay tidhi, Rabbiga Ciidammadow, haddaad fiirisid dhibta aan anoo addoontaada ah qabo, oo aad i soo xusuusatid, ee aadan i illoobin anoo addoontaada ah, laakiinse aad i siiso wiil, de markaas cimrigiisa oo dhan waan ku siinayaa, Rabbiyow, oo madaxiisana mandiil lama marin doono.
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.”
12 Oo intii ay Rabbiga hortiisa ku baryootamaysay ayuu Ceelii fiiriyey afkeedii.
Ekuqhubekeni kwakhe uHana ekhuleka kuThixo, u-Eli wananzelela umlomo wakhe.
13 Haddaba Xannaah waxay ka hadlaysay qalbigeeda, oo bushimaheeda keliya ayaa dhaqdhaqaaqayay, laakiinse codkeedii lama maqlin; sidaas daraaddeed Ceelii wuxuu mooday inay sakhraantay.
UHana wayekhulekela enhliziyweni yakhe, izindebe zakhe zinyikinyeka kodwa ilizwi lakhe lingezwakali. U-Eli wacabanga ukuthi wayedakiwe,
14 Markaasaa Ceelii wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Ilaa gormaad sakhraamaysaa? Khamrigaaga iska fogee.
ngakho wathi kuye, “Koze kube nini ulokhu udakwa na? Yekela iwayini lakho.”
15 Markaasaa Xannaah u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Maya, sayidkaygiiyow, ee waxaan ahay naag ruuxeedu murugaysan yahay, oo ma aanan cabbin khamri iyo wax lagu sakhraamo toona, laakiinse naftaydaan Rabbiga ku baryayaa.
“Akunjalo nkosi yami,” uHana waphendula. “Ngingowesifazane ohlupheke kakhulu. Kangizange nginathe iwayini kumbe utshwala. Kade ngisethula umphefumulo wami kuThixo.
16 Anoo addoontaada ah ha igu tirin gabadh xun; waayo, welwelkayga iyo xanaaqayga batay aawadood ayaan ilaa haatan u hadlayay.
Ungathathi incekukazi yakho njengowesifazane ogangileyo; kade ngikhuleka lapha ngenxa yosizi lwami olukhulu kanye lobuhlungu.”
17 Markaasaa Ceelii u jawaabay oo yidhi, Nabad ku tag, oo Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ha ku siiyo baryadaadii aad weyddiisatay.
U-Eli waphendula wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula, sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli angakupha lokho okucele kuye.”
18 Markaasay tidhi, Anoo addoontaada ah naxariis aan kaa helo. Sidaas daraaddeed naagtii way iska tagtay, oo wax bay cuntay, oo wejigeeduna mar dambe ma murugsanayn.
UHana wathi, “Sengathi incekukazi yakho ingathola umusa emehlweni akho.” Lapho-ke wasuka wahamba, wadla, njalo ubuso bakhe babungasadananga.
19 Markaasay aroor hore kaceen, oo Rabbiga caabudeen, dabadeedna way noqdeen, oo yimaadeen gurigoodii Raamaah ku yiil; markaasaa Elqaanaah u tegey naagtiisii Xannaah; oo Rabbiguna iyadii wuu xusuustay.
Ekuseni okwalandelayo bavuka bayakhonza phambi kukaThixo basebebuyela emzini wabo eRama. U-Elikhana walala loHana umkakhe, uThixo wamkhumbula.
20 Oo markii wakhtigii la gaadhay ayay Xannaah uuraysatay, oo ay wiil dhashay; oo magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Samuu'eel, oo waxay tidhi, Maxaa yeelay, isagaan Rabbiga weyddiistay.
Ngakho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uHana wathatha isisu wazala indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguSamuyeli, esithi, “Ngoba ngamcela kuThixo.”
21 Markaasaa ninkii Elqaanaah ahaa, iyo reerkiisii oo dhammuba waxay u tageen inay Rabbiga u bixiyaan allabarigii sannad walba joogtada u ahaa iyo nidarkiisii.
Kwathi lapho u-Elikhana ehamba labendlu yakhe bonke ukuyanikela umhlatshelo weminyaka yonke kuThixo lokugcwalisa isifungo sakhe,
22 Laakiinse Xannaah ma ay tegin, waayo, waxay ninkeedii ku tidhi, Anigu tegi maayo ilaa wiilka naaska laga gudhiyo, dabadeedna waan keeni doonaa inuu Rabbiga hortiisa ka muuqdo, oo uu halkaas joogo weligiisba.
uHana kahambanga. Wathi kumkakhe, “Emva kokuba umfana eselunyulwe, ngizamthatha ngiyemethula phambi kukaThixo, njalo uzahlala khona kokuphela.”
23 Markaasaa ninkeedii Elqaanaah ku yidhi, Wixii kula wanaagsan yeel; oo iska joog ilaa aad naaska ka gudhisid, laakiinse Rabbigu eraygiisa ha adkeeyo. Sidaas aawadeed naagtii way iska joogtay oo wiilkii bay nuujisay ilaa ay naaskii ka gudhisay.
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.
24 Oo markay isagii naaska ka gudhisay ayay qaadatay oo la tagtay isagii, iyo saddex dibi, iyo eefaah bur ah, iyo qarbed khamri ah, oo waxay isagii keentay gurigii Rabbiga ee Shiiloh ku yiil, oo wiilkuna wuu yaraa.
Emva kokuba esekhutshiwe ebeleni, wahamba lomfana, emncane enjalo kanye lenkunzi eyayileminyaka emithathu ubudala, lehefa lempuphu yengqoloyi kanye lembodlela yewayini, wamusa endlini kaThixo eShilo.
25 Markaasay dibi qaleen, oo wiilkiina waxay u keeneen Ceelii.
Kwathi inkunzi sebeyihlabile, bamhambisa umfana ku-Eli,
26 Kolkaasay tidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, waxaan ku dhaaranayaa naftaada nool, Sayidkaygiiyow, waxaan ahay naagtii halkan ku soo ag istaagtay, iyadoo Rabbiga baryaysa.
uHana wasesithi kuye, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ukhona, nkosi yami, mina ngingulowana umfazi owema phansi kwakho ekhuleka kuThixo.
27 Waxaan ka baryay wiilkan, oo Rabbigu waa i siiyey baryadaydii aan weyddiistay isaga,
Ngakhulekela umntwana lo, njalo uThixo usengiphile engakucelayo.
28 sidaas daraaddeed waxaan isaga siiyey Rabbiga, oo intuu nool yahay oo dhan waxaa leh oo la siiyey Rabbiga. Oo isna halkaasuu Rabbiga ku caabuday.
Ngakho khathesi sengimnika uThixo. Uzanikwa uThixo impilo yakhe yonke.” Wakhonza uThixo khonapho.
