uSamuweli 1-2
1Wathandaza uAna, wathi, Intliziyo yam idlamkile ngoYehova, Uphondo lwam luphakanyisiwe nguYehova. Uvulekile umlomo wam ngazo iintshaba zam; ngokuba ndivuyela usindiso lwakho. 2Akukho bani unjengoYehova, ngenxa yokuba akukho bani ngaphandle kwakho, yaye akukho liwa linjengoThixo wethu. 3Musani ukuthetha ngekratshi; makungaphumi kratshi emlonyeni wenu, ngokuba uYehova nguThixo owazi konke, Yena ngumlinganiso wezenzo zakhe. 4Izaphetha zamagorha ziqhawukile, Abakhubekayo baboshwe bugorha. 5Abahluthiyo bezithengisa ngesonka; Bathi ke abalambileyo bayeka, bazala abasixhenxe babeludlolo; waza ke yena unabantwana abaninzi waba buthathaka. 6NguYehova odlisa ubomi; uyehla aye eHadesi aze anyuke. 7uYehova ulihlwempu, usisityebi yena; Uyazithoba kwaye aphakamise. 8Uphakamisa ihlwempu eluthulini, aphakamise umngqibi emgqomeni wothuli, ukuze ammise phakathi kweenkosana aze amenze abe yindlalifa yetrone yozuko; kuba iintsika zehlabathi zezikaYehova, yaye umhlaba phezu kwazo. 9Iinyawo zabakhe benceba uya kuzigcina, Abangendawo badake ebumnyameni; ngokuba akukho mntu uya kweyisa ngamandla. 10Abachasi bakaYehova baya kutyunyuzwa; ududuma phezu kwabo emazulwini: uYehova uya kugweba phakathi kwehlabathi; uya kumnika amandla ukumkani wakhe, aluphakamise uphondo lomthanjiswa wakhe. 11Wesuka uElikana, waya endlwini yakhe; Le nkwenkwana yayikhonza uYehova phambi kombingeleli uEli. 12Oonyana bakaEli babengamatshijolo; babengamazi uYehova. 13Isiko lababingeleli phakathi kwabantu lalisithi, xa umntu ebingelela umbingelelo, size isicaka sombingeleli, xa inyama iyaphekwa, ephethe incam yenyama ngesandla sakhe; 14Makaqhotswe ngepani, nokuba kusembizeni, nokuba kusembizeni, nokuba kusembizeni; yonke into esenyameni, umbingeleli wazithabathela yona. Benjenjalo eShilo noonyana bonke bakaSirayeli ababefike khona. 15Yaye, ngaphambi kokuba kuqhunyiswe amanqatha, wayesiza umlungiseleli wombingeleli aze athi kwindoda ebingelelayo: “Yinike umbingeleli inyama, yosiwe; kuba akayi kusela kudla kuwe, kodwa ekrwada. 16Ukuba uthe umntu kuye, Mayingabi namanqatha ngoku, wandule ke uzithabathele, njengoko unqwenela ngako umphefumlo wakho; wathi kuye, Hayi; ke wena undinike ngoku; ukuba akunjalo, ndoyithabatha ngamandla. 17Ngenxa yoko isono saba bafana saba sikhulu kunene phambi koYehova; ngokuba abantu bawuthiyile umnikelo kaYehova; 18Ke yena uSamuweli wayesengumntwana phambi koYehova, enxibe isambatho esisemagxeni selinen. 19Ngaphezu koko, amadoda ayemenzela isambatho sendoda, awayesizisa kuye minyaka le xa wenyuka nomyeni wakhe ukuya kubingelela umnyaka. 20uEli wamsikelela uElikana nomkakhe, wathi, uYehova makakuphe imbewu ngalo mfazi, ngenxa yalowo wabalelwa kuYehova. Bahamba ke baya endlini yabo. 21uYehova wamvelela uAna, wamitha, wazala oonyana abathathu, neentombi ezimbini. Ke inkwenkwe uSamuweli yakhula phambi koYehova. 22uEli ubeseleyindoda enkulu, eyiva yonke into ababeyenza oonyana bakhe kumaSirayeli onke; nendlela ababelala ngayo nabafazi ababehlanganisene emnyango wentente yokuhlangana. 23Wathi kubo, Yini na ukuba nenze izinto ezinjengezi? Ngokuba ndivile ububi bakho kubo bonke aba bantu. 24Hayi, nyana bam; kuba asinto ilungileyo endiyivayo: nibangela ukuba abantu bakaYehova baphule umthetho. 25Ukuba ubani uthe wona umntu, umgwebi uya kumgweba; kodwa ukuba umntu wona kuYehova, ngubani na oya kumkhusela? Kodwa abazange baliphulaphule ilizwi lesikhohlakali kuba uYehova wayefuna ukubabulala. 26Ngoko umntwana uSamuweli waqhubeka ekhula yaye ekholekile kuYehova nakubantu. 27Wandula ke weza umfo wakwaThixo kuEli waza wathi kuye: “Utsho uYehova ukuthi, ‘Andizange na ndibonise ukuba ndiyindlu kayihlo ngoxa babeseYiputa endlwini kaFaro? 28Ndimnyule na phakathi kwezizwe zonke zakwaSirayeli ukuba abe ngumbingeleli kum, ukuze enze umbingelelo phezu kwam, anyuse isiqhumiso, anxibe irhonya phambi kobuso bam? Ndiwanikele na onke amadini anyukayo oonyana bakaSirayeli endlwini kayihlo? 29Kungenxa yoko le nto ulinyathelayo idini lam, nombingelelo wam endinawo endaweni yam yokuhlala; Uzukise oonyana bakho ngaphezu kwam na, ngokuba ubatyebisa ngemibingelelo yabantu bam amaSirayeli? 30Ngako oko, utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ndathi, Indlu yakho nendlu kayihlo yohlala ihamba ecaleni kwam; kodwa Yehova, mntundini, makube lee kum. Kuba ondihlonelayo ndiya kumhlonela, ondidelayo udelekile. 31Uyabona, iyeza imihla, endiya kusinqumla isandla sakho nesandla sendlu kayihlo, kungabikho ngwevu endlwini kayihlo; 32ndibone ndisekhaya kubo bonke ubutyebi aya kubunika uSirayeli uThixo; kungabikho ngwevu endlwini yakho ngonaphakade. 33Indoda yakho, endingayi kucilela kumama, iya kuwadla amehlo akho, ibe buhlungu intliziyo yakho; 34Nguwo lo umqondiso kuwe, oya kubafikela oonyana bakho bobabini, uHofeni noPinehasi; ngenye imini baya kufa bobabini. 35Ndiya kuzinyulela umbingeleli othembekileyo, oya kwenza njengoko kusentliziyweni yam, nasemphefumlweni wam; ndimakhele indlu eyomeleleyo; yaye uya kusoloko uhamba ecaleni komthanjiswa wam. 36Kothi, lowo useleyo endlwini yakho, eze azigobe kuye ngenxa yeqhosha lesilivere nesuntswana lesonka, athi, Khawundifake komnye umsebenzi wobubingeleli, ukuze ndidle iqhekeza lesonka.
