Samweli Watachi
1 Kwadiña iyala wakuRamatayimi Zofimi*+ mwiluña damapidi daEfuremu,+ ijina dindi wadiña Elikana,+ mwana kaYerohami, Yerohami mwana kaElihu, Elihu mwana kaTohu, Tohu mwana kaZufi, mwini Efuremu. 2 Wadiña nawambanda ayedi; wumu wadiña Hana, mukwawu Penina. Penina wavweli anyana, ilaña Hana havwelihu anyanaku. 3 Hachaaka-hachaaka, iwu iyala wafumineña mumusumba windi nakuya muShilo+ nakudifukula* nikulambula nyilambu kudi Yehova wamazaza. Kwenoku, anyana kaEli awamayala aHofini naFinihasi+ dikwamuzatilileñawu Yehova mudimu wawupristu.+
4 Ifuku dimu Elikana chalambwileñayi mulambu, wenkeli ñodindi Penina hamu nianyanindi awamayala niawambanda maseka,+ 5 ilaña Hana wamwinkeli iseka dambukaku, muloña Hana diyi akeñeliyi; hela chochu, Yehova hamwinkelihu Hana anyanaku.* 6 Kubombelahu, muhadikanindi wamusupishileña kulonda amuhilishi nanochu chelili Yehova hamwinkelihu Hana anyanaku. 7 Ichi dichelileñayi hachaaka-hachaaka, mpinji yejima yayileñayi Hana kwitala daYehova,+ muhadikanindi wamusupishileña nankashi chakwila Hana wadilileña nikuda nehi. 8 Ilaña nfumwindi Elikana wamwihwili nindi: “Hana, muloñadi chiwunakudilila? Muloñadi chiwunalekeli kuda? Nawa muloñadi chiwunaneñeli ñana?* Komana ami nawahi wanyi kudi eyi kubadika anyana awamayala 10?”
9 Kufumahu, chamanishiliwu kuda nikunwa muShilo, Hana wanyamukili. Hanoyu mpinji, kapristu Eli wadiña washakama hachitwamu kwakwihi nachipamba chakuchiisu chatembeli*+ yaYehova. 10 Hana waneñeli nankashi nawa watachikili kulomba kudi Yehova+ nikudila chikupu. 11 Nawa wasanyikili nindi: “Eyi Yehova wamazaza, neyi wukushinshika hayihuñu yanami kambuñeyi, wuñanuka nawa wubula kunvulamena ami kambuñeyi nawa wunyinka mwana weyala,+ owu mwana nakamuhana kudi eyi Yehova mafuku akuhanda kwindi kwejima, nawa kumutu windi hikwakahitahu rezaku.”+
12 Chalombeleñayi kudi Yehova mpinji yayilehi, Eli watalileña hakanwa kaHana. 13 Hana wahosheleleña mumuchima windi, nyivumbu yindi diyazaalileña hohu, ilaña izu dindi datiyakeneña wanyi. Dichi Eli watoñojokeli nindi Hana nasheti. 14 Eli wamwihwili nindi: “Wakaleka mpinjinyi kusheta? Lekaku kunwa vinyu yeyi.” 15 Hohenohu Hana wamwakwili nindi: “Inehi mwanta wami! Ami nidi mumbanda wunakukaba nankashi;* hinnanwihu vinyu hela walwa wudi wejimaku, ilaña inakumuleja* Yehova yitoñojoka yami yejima.+ 16 Bayi wummona ami kambuñeyi neyi nidi mumbanda wamukunkulwayiku, natwalekihu kuhosha kushika nihayinu mpinji muloña wachineñi chasweja niikabi dinnakuhitamu.” 17 Kufumahu, Eli wamulejeli nindi: “Yaña mukuwunda, nawa Nzambi yaIsarela akwinki chuma chiwunamulombi.”+ 18 Hohenohu, yena wahosheli nindi: “Ntiyi kuwaha ami kambuñeyi.” Dichi owu mumbanda wanyamukili nakuya, wadiili nawa hamwekeshelihu cheñi chineñi kumesu indiku.
19 Kuhiñahu, ahindukili ntetemena nankashi nawa adibukili kumesu aYehova, kufumahu, afuntili kwitala dawu kuRama.+ Elikana wakaamini nañodindi Hana, nawa Yehova wamwanukili Hana.+ 20 Muchaaka chimu hohu,* Hana wemitili nawa wavweli mwana weyala nakumutuumba+ nindi Samweli,* muloña wahosheli nindi, “namulombeli kudi Yehova.”
21 Mukuhita kwampinji, Elikana wayili hamu nawantu amwitala dindi nakulambula mulambu wahachaaka kudi Yehova+ nikuhana mulambu windi wakusanyika. 22 Ilaña Hana wayili wanyi,+ muloña wamulejeli nfumwindi nindi: “Iwu mwana chasumukayi tuhu, nakamutwala; dihu dinu hakamwekenayi kumesu aYehova nawa kufuma hanoyu mpinji wakashakamaña kwenoku.”+ 23 Nfumwindi Elikana wamulejeli nindi: “Ilaku chuma chiwunatoñojoki neyi chachiwahi.* Shalaku hetala sampu wunamusumuni. Yehova eli chuma chiwunahoshi.” Dichi mumbanda washalili hetala nawa wamuhembeli mwanindi kushika nimpinji yamusumwiniyi.
24 Chamusumwiniyi tuhu, wamutwalili kuShilo hamu nañombi wachizamba wayaaka yisatu, chipimu chimu chaifa* chawuña walembuluka ninsaba yeneni yavinyu,+ dichi washikili kwitala daYehova muShilo+ nawa wenjili hamu namwanindi weyala wanyanya. 25 Kuhiñahu, ajahili ñombi wachizamba nawa iwu kansi weyala amutwalili kudi Eli. 26 Hohenohu Hana wahosheli nindi: “Eyi mwanta wami, ñanakeniku! Eyi mwanta wami, kwesekeja nachiwahanda, ami yami ona mumbanda wemeni hamu naneyi mudinu iluña nakulomba kudi Yehova.+ 27 Iwu kansi weyala diyi inalombeleña, nawa Yehova wanyinkeli chuma chinamulombeli.+ 28 Ichi ninami namukongweshiyi* Yehova. Mumafuku indi ejima, wukwikala wakukongwesha kudi Yehova.”
Nawa kwenoku yena* wadibukili heseki kudi Yehova.
