2 Hanyuma Hana arasenga+, avuga ati:
“Umutima wanje urirata koko kubera Yehova+,
Emwe, ihembe ryanje rishizwe hejuru biciye kuri Yehova+.
Akanwa kanje kasamiye kwishura abansi banje,
Kuko nezerererwa koko ubukiriro bwawe+.
2 Nta n’umwe ari mweranda nka Yehova, kuko ata n’umwe ariho kiretse wewe+;
Kandi nta gitandara kiriho kimeze nk’Imana yacu+.
3 Ntimuvuge menshi mubigiranye ubwibone bwinshi gutyo,
Ntihagire ikintu akanwa kanyu kavugana ugushirukanya+,
Kuko Yehova ari Imana y’ubumenyi+,
Kandi ibikorwa arabigera ata karenganyo+.
5 Abahaze bategerezwa kwikotesha ngo baronke umukate+,
Mugabo abashonje bareka vy’ukuri gusonza+.
Mbere ingumba yibarutse indwi+,
Mugabo uwari afise abahungu benshi arayamye+.
7 Yehova ni Uwukenesha+ akaba n’Uwutungisha+,
Uwucisha bugufi akaba n’Uwushira hejuru+,
8 Uwushira hejuru umuntu mutoyi amukuye mu mukungugu+;
Aduza umworo amukuye mu kinogo c’umunyota+,
Kugira abicarike hamwe n’abanyacubahiro; abaha intebe y’ubwami y’ubuninahazwa+ ngo bayigabire+.
Kuko ibishigikiye isi+ ari ivya Yehova,
Kandi abishirako ubutaka bwimbuka.
Kuko umuntu atanesha biciye ku nkomezi+.
10 Nayo Yehova, abanigana na we bazotekerwa n’ubwoba+;
Azobaturagarira ari mw’ijuru+.
Yehova ubwiwe azocira urubanza impera z’isi+,
Kugira ngo ahe inkomezi umwami wiwe+,
Kugira ngo ashire hejuru ihembe ry’uwo yarobanuje amavuta*+.”
11 Maze Elikana aja i Rama ku nzu iwe; nayo nya gahungu, kaba agasuku+ ka Yehova imbere ya Eli umuherezi.
12 Kandi bene Eli bari abantu b’imburakimazi+; ntibemera icese Yehova+. 13 Nayo ku bijanye n’ivyo abaherezi bari bafitiye uburenganzira vyava ku bantu+, igihe cose hagize umuntu ashikana ikimazi, umusuku w’umuherezi yaraza afise ikanya y’amenyo atatu mu kuboko, igihe nyene inyama zaba ziriko ziratogota+, 14 agacumita mw’ibesani canke mu nkono y’ibigōmbo bibiri canke mu gisafuriya canke mu nkono y’ikigōmbo kimwe. Ikintu cose nya kanya yaduza, umuherezi yaracitwarira. Ukwo ni ko bakora i Shilo ku Bisirayeli bose baza ng’aho+. 15 Vyongeye, n’imbere y’uko bafumbisha ikinure umwotsi+, umusuku w’umuherezi yaraza maze akabwira umuntu yaba atanze ikimazi ati: “Tanga inyama zo gutarira umuherezi kugira ngo ntumuhe inyama zitetse, ariko umuhe mbisi+.” 16 Nya muntu amubwiye ngo: “Reka babanze bafumbishe ikinure umwotsi+, uheze utware izo umutima wawe uhahamiye zose+,” yaca avuga ati: “Oya, ahubwo ukwiye kuzitanga ubu; atari ukwo, ndazitwara ku nguvu+!” 17 Nuko igicumuro ca nya basuku kiba igikomeye cane imbere ya Yehova+; kuko abo bagabo bagaya ishikanwa rya Yehova+.
18 Kandi Samweli yakorera+ imbere ya Yehova, ari agahungu gakenyeye efodi* y’ilino+. 19 Vyongeye, nyina yaramukorera umwitero mutoya utagira amaboko, akawumuduganira ku mwaka ku mwaka, igihe yaba aduganye n’umugabo wiwe gushikana ikimazi ca buri mwaka+. 20 Eli ahezagira+ Elikana n’umugore wiwe, avuga ati: “Yehova aguhe uruvyaro kuri uyu mugore mu kibanza ca ya ntizo yatizwa Yehova+.” Nuko baja iwabo. 21 Yehova yitaho rero Hana+, ku buryo yibungenga hanyuma akavyara abahungu batatu n’abakobwa babiri+. Nuko ka gahungu Samweli kabandanya gukurira imbere ya Yehova+.
22 Kandi Eli yari ashaje cane; yari yarumvise+ ibintu vyose abahungu biwe baguma bakorera+ Isirayeli yose be n’ukuntu baryamana n’abagore+ bakorera ku bwinjiriro bw’ihema ry’ihuriro+. 23 Yababwira ati+: “Kubera iki muguma mukora ibintu nk’ivyo+? Kuko ibintu ndabumvako mu bantu bose ari bibi+. 24 Oya+, bane banje, kuko inkuru numva atari nziza, iyo abantu ba Yehova bariko barakwiragiza+. 25 Umuntu acumuye ku muntu+, Imana yobijamwo ikamubera umucamanza+; mugabo umuntu acumuye kuri Yehova+, ni nde azomusengera+?” Mugabo ntibumviriza ijwi rya se+, kuko Yehova ico gihe yari ahimbawe no kubica+. 26 Muri ico gihe, ako gahungu Samweli karushiriza gukura no gushimwa imbere ya Yehova n’imbere y’abantu+.
27 Nuko umuntu w’Imana+ aza kuri Eli, amubwira ati: “Ibi ni vyo Yehova avuze: ‘Mbega sinihishuriye koko inzu ya sogokuruza wawe igihe bari mu Misiri ari abashumba b’inzu ya Farawo+? 28 Kandi bamuntoreye mu miryango yose ya Isirayeli+, ngo akore ari umuherezi maze aduge ku gicaniro* canje+ gutuma umwotsi w’ibimazi uduga, ngo yambare efodi imbere yanje, kugira ngo mpe inzu ya sogokuruza wawe amashikanwa yose ashikanishwa umuriro ya bene Isirayeli+. 29 Ni kubera iki muguma mutera umugere ikimazi canje+ n’ishikanwa ryanje nategetse aho mba+, kandi ukaguma utera iteka abahungu bawe kunduta, mu kwidohesha ubwanyu+ ku vyiza kuruta ibindi vyose vyo mu mashikanwa y’abantu banje Isirayeli+?
30 “‘Ni co gituma Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli avuze ati: “Nari naravuze koko nti: Inzu yawe n’inzu ya sogokuruza wawe zizogendera imbere yanje gushika igihe kitagira urugero+.” Mugabo ubu Yehova avuze ati: “Ni ibitokwiyumvirwa kuri jewe, kuko abantera iteka+ nzobatera iteka+, ariko abansuzugura bazoba ab’agaciro gato+.” 31 Ehe imisi iraje aho nzokuraho ububasha bwawe n’ububasha bw’inzu ya sogokuruza wawe, kugira ngo ntihazobeho umutama mu nzu yawe+. 32 Emwe, uzokwitegereza uwukurwanya aho mba hagati mu vyiza vyose bigirirwa Isirayeli+; ntihazokwigera habaho umutama mu nzu yawe. 33 Yamara, hariho umugabo wo mu bawe ntazorandura kugira abe hafi y’igicaniro canje, kugira ngo ntume amaso yawe agwabira nongere ntume ugoyagoya; mugabo benshi mu nzu yawe, bose bazokwicwa n’inkota y’abantu+. 34 Iki ni co kizokubera ikimenyetso c’ivyo, kandi kizoza ku bahungu bawe babiri, Hofuni na Finehasi+: Bompi bazopfira umusi umwe+. 35 Kandi nzokwihagurukiriza umuherezi+ w’umwizigirwa. Azokora ahuza n’ibiri mu mutima wanje be n’ivyo ngomba; emwe, nzomwubakira inzu iramba, na we azokwama agendera imbere y’uwo narobanuje amavuta+. 36 Uwuzosigara wese+ mu nzu yawe azoza amwunamire arondera guhembwa amahera n’akamanyu k’umukate k’umuzingi, avuge koko ati: “Ndakwinginze unshire kuri rimwe mu mabanga ajanye n’ubuherezi, kugira ngo ndye ikimanyu c’umukate+.”’”
