Nivekelo na Ana

Mulopwana mmoha iitthaniwa Elkana, anneetta ekwaha iyaakha sootheene ni emusi awe, weera yamukokhorele Yehova esidade ya oSilo. Weiwo yaarayawo etapernaakulu. Owo aarinono asithiyana eeli mmoha iitthaniwa Ana mukina eeriwa Penina. Elkana annamusivela vantxipale Ana. Penina aahaayara anamwane antxipale. Mene Ana khaakhanleno naari mmoha. Ni Penina annamuhasula mwaha wa yeeyo. Ekwaha emoha awosa ereene oSilo, Elkana aamoona Ana ariipinweene murima vantxipale. Owo aaxupeya ni aarowa wuuluma nuuwo, mene khaawera ommaaliha.

Noovira etempu, Ana aarowa ovekela. Owo anninla vantxipale ni aaheera: ‘Yehova, mwakivaha mwaana mmoha kinnoolaiherani weera kinoomukuxera otapernaakulu, ni owo onoorowa woovarelakani muteko ekumi awe yootheene.’

Namakeya mutokweene Eli khuupuwela weera Ana anvekela, nto uupuwela weera owo aaroohapaliwa. Ana aahuluma nuuwo: ‘Hooye pwiyaka, miyo nkihapalinwe. Miyo kinnahaawa vantxipale, mwaha wa yeeyo kiwiiyaaka wuuluma ni Yehova.’ Eli aahoona weera khaamuthorinhe nnene ni aahima weera Yehova aamunvaha Ana etthu aatthunaawe. Nto owo aatthikela owaani atteelinweene murima. Mene khayaavinre etempu yintxipale, Ana aakhalano mwaana iitthaniwa Samuweli. Owo aahakalala vantxipale, keera?

Neereke Ana aattiwala yoolaihera ampakenlaawe Yehova? Hooye! Vano Samuweli ahiyakaru waamwa, owo aamukuxera otapernaakulu. Amwiinyereraka Samuweli Eli. Ana aaheera: ‘Onnuupuwela weera kanvekela etthu Yehova? Owo ookiiwa ni ookivaha mwaana. Ola onrowa onvarelaka Yehova ekumi awe yootheene.’ Iyaakha sootheene Ana ni Elkana yannarowa omuxekura mwanaya, ni yannakuxa ikuwo inyowani weera yanvahe. Avinyaka Yehova aanvaha Ana, anamwane asilopwana araru ni asithiyana eeli.
