u-Elkana indodana kaJerohamu
1Kwakukhona umuntu othile waseRamatayimi-sofi, wasezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi, ogama lakhe lalingu-Elkana, indodana kaJerohamu, indodana ka-Elihu, indodana kaThohu, indodana kaSufi, wakwa-Efrayimi.
2Yayinabafazi ababili; igama lomunye lalinguHana, igama lomunye lalinguPhenina; uPhenina wayenabantwana, kepha uHana wayengenamntwana.
3Lowo muntu wenyuka emzini wakubo iminyaka ngeminyaka ukukhonza nokuhlabela uJehova Sebawoti eShilo. Kwakukhona lapho amadodana amabili ka-Eli, oHofini noFinehasi, abapristi bakaJehova.
4Kwasekusithi lapho uElkana enikela umhlatshelo, wanika umkakhe uPhenina lawo wonke amadodana akhe lamadodakazi akhe izabelo.
5Kodwa uHana wamnika isabelo esihle; ngokuba wayemthanda uHana, kepha uJehova wasivala isizalo sakhe.
6Isitha sakhe samgcona ukuthi simthukuthelise, ngoba uJehova wayesivalile isizalo sakhe.
7Wenza kanjalo iminyaka ngeminyaka, lapho enyukela endlini kaJehova, wamdlalisa kanjalo; ngalokho wakhala, akadlanga.
8Wayesethi u-Elkana umyeni wakhe kuye: “Hana, ukhalelani na? futhi kungani ungadli? Inhliziyo yakho idabukeni na? Angidluli yini amadodana ayishumi kuwe na?
9UHana wasukuma, sebedlile eShilo, sebephuzile; Umpristi u-Eli wayesehlezi esihlalweni ngasensikeni yethempeli likaJehova.
10Wayenomunyu emphefumulweni, wakhuleka kuJehova, wakhala kamunyu.
11Wenza isithembiso, wathi: “Jehova Sebawoti, uma ukhumbula ukuhlupheka kwencekukazi yakho nami, futhi ungayikhohlwa incekukazi yakho, kepha unike incekukazi yakho indodana, ngiyakumnika uJehova izinsuku zonke zezwe. Ukuphila kwakhe, nempuco ayiyikuwela ekhanda lakhe.
12Kwathi esakhuleka phambi kukaJehova, u-Eli uyaqaphela umlomo wakhe.
13UHana wakhuluma enhliziyweni yakhe; kwanyakaza izindebe zomlomo wakhe kuphela, kepha izwi lakhe lalingezwakali; ngalokho u-Eli wacabanga ukuthi udakiwe.
14UEli wasesithi kuye: Uzadakwa kuze kube nini? susa iwayini lakho kuwe.
15UHana waphendula wathi: “Hhayi, nkosi yami, ngingowesifazane onomoya odabukileyo; angiphuzanga iwayini naphuzo olunamandla, kepha ngathulula umphefumulo wami phambi kukaJehova.
16Ungabheki incekukazi yakho njengendodakazi kaBheliyali, ngokuba ngobuningi bokukhononda nosizi lwami ngikhulumile kuze kube manje.
17U-Eli waphendula wathi: “Hamba ngokuthula; uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uyakukunika ukunxusa kwakho okucelile kuye.”
18Wathi: “Incekukazi yakho mayifumane umusa emehlweni akho.” Wahamba-ke owesifazana, wadla, ubuso bakhe babungasadabuki.
19Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, bakhuleka phambi kukaJehova, babuya, bafika emzini wabo eRama; u-Elkana wamvuma uHana umkakhe; uJehova wamkhumbula.
20Kwathi lapho sesifikile isikhathi uHana akhulelwa ngaso, wazala indodana, wayiqamba ngokuthi uSamuweli, wathi: “Ngokuba ngamcela kuJehova.”
21Indoda u-Elkana yakhuphuka kanye nendlu yayo yonke ukunikela ngomhlatshelo weminyaka yonke nesithembiso sayo kuJehova.
22Kepha uHana akakhuphukanga; ngokuba wathi endodeni yakhe: “Angiyikukhuphuka umntwana aze alunyulwe; khona ngiyakumyisa ukuba abonakale phambi kukaJehova, ahlale khona kuze kube phakade.”
23Wayesethi u-Elkana umyeni wakhe kuye: “Yenza okuhle emehlweni akho; hlala uze umlumule; nguJehova kuphela oqinisa izwi lakhe. Owesifazane wayesehlala, wancelisa indodana yakhe waze wayilumula.
24Eseyilunyulile wahamba naye, kanye nezinkunzi ezintathu ne-efa likafulawa nesaka lewayini, wamyisa endlini kaJehova eShilo, umntwana esemncane.
25Basebehlaba inkunzi, bamletha umntwana kuEli.
26Wathi: “O nkosi yami, zonke izinsuku zomphefumulo wakho usaphila, nkosi yami, ngingowesifazane owayemi nawe lapha, wakhuleka kuJehova.”
27Ngamkhulekela lomntwana; futhi iNkosi yanginika umkhuleko engawucela kuyo.
28Ngalokho nami ngimnike uJehova; zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe uyakuba ngobolekiwe kuJehova. Wakhuleka kuJehova khona.
