1 Samuela 1
1 Vakai naʻe ai ha tangata ʻo Lamateimi-Sofimi ʻoe moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ko hono hingoa ko ʻElikena, ko e foha ʻo Seloami ko e foha ʻo Elihu, ko e foha ʻo Tohu: ko e foha ʻo Sufi, ko e tangata ʻEfalata:
Panali munthu wina wochokera ku Ramataimu, Mzofimu wa ku dziko la mapiri la Efereimu. Iyeyu dzina lake anali Elikana ndipo anali mwana wa Yerohamu, mwana wa Elihu, mwana wa Tohu, mwana wa Zufu wa fuko la Efereimu.
2 Pea naʻe toko ua hono uaifi; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAna, pea ko Penina ʻae hingoa ʻoe tokotaha: pea naʻe ai ʻae fānau ʻa Penina, ka naʻe ʻikai ha fānau ʻa ʻAna.
Iye anali ndi akazi awiri, Hana ndi Penina. Penina anali ndi ana, koma Hana analibe.
3 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tangata ni mei heʻene kolo ki Sailo ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ke lotu mo ʻatu ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai, ko Hofini mo Finiasi ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻo Sihova.
Chaka ndi chaka Elikana ankachoka ku mudzi kwawo kupita ku Silo kukapembedza ndi kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Ku Siloko kunali ana awiri a Eli, Hofini ndi Finehasi amene anali ansembe a Yehova.
4 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae ʻaho ke fai ʻae feilaulau ʻe ʻElikena, naʻa ne vahe kia Penina ko hono uaifi, mo ʻene ngaahi tama kotoa pē mo ʻene ngaahi taʻahine ʻa honau ʻinasi.
Tsiku lopereka nsembe likafika Elikana amapereka magawo a nsembeyo kwa mkazi wake Penina ndi kwa ana ake onse aamuna ndi aakazi.
5 Ka naʻa ne ʻatu kia ʻAna ʻae vahe lahi he naʻe ʻofa ia kia ʻAna: ka kuo tāpuni hono manāva ʻe Sihova.
Ngakhale ankamukonda Hana, koma ankamupatsa gawo limodzi popeza Yehova sanamupatse ana.
6 Pea naʻe fakamamahi lahi ia ʻe hono fili, ke ne lāunga, ko e meʻa ʻi he tāpuni hono manāva ʻe Sihova.
Tsono popeza Yehova sanamupatse Hana ana, mkazi mnzakeyo ankamuyamba dala ndi cholinga chomukwiyitsa.
7 Pea ʻi heʻene fai pehē pe ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, naʻa ne ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea loto mamahi ai ia; ko ia naʻe tangi ai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai kai.
Izi zimachitika chaka ndi chaka. Hana ankati akamapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova mkazi mnzakeyo ankamunyogodola. Choncho Hana ankangokhalira kulira osafuna ndi kudya komwe.
8 Pea pehē ai ʻe ʻElikena ko hono husepāniti kiate ia, “ʻAna ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te ke kai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku mamahi ai ho loto? ʻIkai ʻoku ou lelei hake kiate koe ʻi he tama ʻe hongofulu?”
Tsono mwamuna wake Elikana ankamufunsa kuti, “Hana ukulira chifukwa chiyani? Wakhumudwa ndi chiyani kuti sukufuna ndi kudya komwe? Kodi ine kwa iwe sindili woposa ana aamuna khumi?”
9 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻAna hili ʻenau kai mo inu ʻi Sailo. Pea naʻe nofo ʻae taulaʻeiki ko Ilai ʻi he nofoʻa ofi ki he pou ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
Tsiku lina atatha kudya ndi kumwa ku Silo kuja, Hana anayimirira kukapemphera. Nthawiyi nʼkuti wansembe Eli atakhala pa mpando pa khomo la Nyumba ya Yehova.
10 Pea naʻe mamahi lahi hono laumālie, ʻo ne lotu kia Sihova, pea tangi lahi.
Hana anavutika mʼmoyo mwake, ndipo anapemphera kwa Yehova akulira kwambiri.
11 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae fuakava, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ʻoe tokolahi, kapau ko e moʻoni te ke ʻafio mai ki he mamahi ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, ʻo manatuʻi au, ʻo ʻikai fakangaloʻi ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, ka ke foaki ki hoʻo kaunanga ʻae tama, pehē te u foaki ia kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻai ha tele ki hono ʻulu.”
Ndipo iye analumbira kuti, “Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ngati muyangʼana kusauka kwa mtumiki wanune, ndi kuyankha pemphero langa osandiyiwala ine mtumiki wanu pondipatsa mwana wamwamuna, ine ndidzamupereka mwanayo kwa inu Yehova masiku onse a moyo wake. Lumo silidzapita pa mutu pake.”
12 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene lotu maʻu pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, naʻe vakai ʻe Ilai ʻa hono loungutu.
Akupemphera choncho kwa Yehova, Eli ankamuyangʼana pakamwa.
13 Ka naʻe lea ʻa ʻAna ʻi hono loto pea naʻe ngaue hono loungutu ka naʻe ʻikai ongoʻi hono leʻo: ko ia naʻe mahalo ai ʻe Ilai kuo konā ia.
Hana ankapemphera chamumtima ndipo milomo yake inkangogwedera koma mawu ake samamveka. Choncho Eli anaganiza kuti anali ataledzera.
14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Ilai kiate ia, “ʻE tuku ʻafē ʻa hoʻo konā? tukuange hoʻo uaine ʻiate koe.”
Ndipo anamufunsa Hana kuti, “Kodi mukhala chiledzerere mpaka liti? Pitani, ayambe wakuchokani vinyo mwamwayo.”
15 Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAna ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ka ko e fefine loto mamahi au: naʻe ʻikai te u inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, ka kuo u lilingi hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Koma Hana anayankha kuti, “Sichoncho mbuye wanga. Ndakhala ndikumukhuthulira Yehova chisoni changa. Sindinamwe vinyo kapena chakumwa choledzeretsa chilichonse, popeza nthawi yonseyi ndakhala ndikupereka kwa Yehova nkhawa yayikulu ndi mavuto anga.
16 ʻOua naʻa ke ui hoʻo kaunanga ko e ʻofefine ʻoe kovi: he kuo u lea pe ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻeku feinga mo ʻeku mamahi.”
Musaganize kuti mtumiki wanu ndi kukhala mkazi wachabechabe. Ine ndakhala ndi kupereka nkhawa yanga yayikulu ndi zowawa zanga.”
17 Pea naʻe lea ai ʻa Ilai ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu fiemālie pē: pea ʻofa ke tuku kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae kole ʻaia kuo ke kole kiate ia.”
Eli anayankha, “Pitani mu mtendere, ndipo Mulungu wa Israeli akupatseni zimene mwamupemphazo.”
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ʻae fiemālie ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fefine ʻi hono hala, pea kai, pea naʻe ʻikai kei matapeko ia.
Hana anati, “Mundikomerebe mtima mtumiki wanune.” Kenaka anachoka nakadya, ndipo sanaonekenso wachisoni.
19 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻo lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻalu, ʻo hoko atu ki honau fale ʻi Lama: pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻElikena ʻa hono uaifi; pea naʻe manatuʻi ia ʻe Sihova.
Elikana ndi banja lake anadzuka mmawa mwake nakapemphera pamaso pa Yehova. Pambuyo pake anabwerera kwawo ku Rama. Elikana anakhala pamodzi ndi mkazi wake, ndipo Yehova anamukumbuka Hanayo.
20 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi māhina ʻoe feitama ʻa ʻAna, pea pehē, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Samuela, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kole ia meia Sihova.”
Motero Hana anakhala ndi pakati ndipo anabereka mwana wamwamuna. Anamutcha dzina lake Samueli, popeza anati, “Ndinachita kumupempha kwa Yehova.”
21 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tangata ko ʻElikena mo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻoe taʻu, mo ʻene fuakava.
Elikana ndi banja lake lonse anapita kukapereka nsembe ya pa chaka kwa Yehova ndi kukakwaniritsa malonjezo ake.
22 Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa ʻAna; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki hono husepāniti, “ʻE ʻikai te u ʻalu kaeʻoua ke mavae ʻae tamasiʻi, pea u toki ʻave ia, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ke nofomaʻu ai ia ʻo taʻengata.
Koma Hana sanapite nawo popeza anawuza mwamuna wake kuti, “Mwanayu akadzaleka kuyamwa, ndidzapita naye ndi kukamupereka pamaso pa Yehova ndipo adzakhala kumeneko moyo wake wonse.”
23 Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe hono husepāniti ko ʻElikena kiate ia, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate koe; tatali ke ʻoua ke ke mavae ia; kae kehe ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻene folofola.” Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fefine ʻo fakahuhu ʻene tama, pea toki fakamavae ia.
Elikana mwamuna wake anamuwuza kuti, “Chita chimene chakukomera. Tsala kuno mpaka utamusiyitsa kuyamwa, Yehova yekha akwaniritse mawu ake.” Choncho mkaziyo anatsala ku nyumba ndi kusamalira mwana wake mpaka atamuletsa kuyamwa.
24 Pea hili ʻa hono fakamavae ia, naʻa ne ʻave ia, pea mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu, mo e efa ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa, mo e hina uaine ʻe taha, ʻo ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo: pea naʻe kei siʻi ʻae tama.
Atamuletsa kuyamwa, Hana anatenga mwanayo ali wachichepere, ndikupita naye ku nyumba ya Yehova ku Silo. Anatenga ngʼombe yamphongo ya zaka zitatu, ufa wa makilogalamu khumi, ndi thumba lachikopa la vinyo.
25 Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻae pulu, pea ʻomi ʻae tamasiʻi kia Ilai.
Tsono anapha ngʼombe yamphongo ija ndi kupereka mwana uja kwa Eli.
26 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, hangē ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻo moʻui, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, ko au ko e fefine naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate koe ʻi heni, ʻo lotu kia Sihova.
Ndipo Hana anati kwa Eli, “Mbuye wanga, ine ndikunenetsadi pamaso panu kuti ndine mkazi uja amene anayima pamaso panu ndi kumapemphera kwa Yehova.
27 Naʻaku kole ʻae tamasiʻi ni; pea kuo tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku kole ʻaia ne u fai kiate ia:
Ndinapempha mwana uyu, ndipo Yehova wandipatsa chimene ndinamupempha.
28 Ko ia foki ʻoku ou toe ʻatu ia kia Sihova; ʻe tuku ia kia Sihova ʻi heʻene moʻui kotoa pē.” Pea naʻe lotu ia kia Sihova ʻi ai.
Ndiye tsopano ine ndikumupereka kwa Yehova. Pa moyo wake wonse adzakhala wa Yehova.” Ndipo onse anapembedza Yehova kumeneko.
