Mukanda wa kumpala wa Samuele 1:1-28
1 Mpindieu kuvua muntu mukuabu wa ku Lamatayima-sofima*+ mu buloba bua mikuna bua Efelayima+ diende Elekana,+ muana wa Yelohama, muana wa Elihu, muana wa Tohu, muana wa Zufa, muena Efelayima.
2 Uvua ne bakaji babidi; umue diende Hana, ne mukuabu Penina. Penina uvua ne bana, kadi Hana kavua ne bana to.
3 Muntu au uvua umbuka mu tshimenga tshiabu tshidimu tshionso ubanda ku Shilo bua kutendelela* Yehowa wa biluilu ne kumulambula milambu.+ Ku Shilo aku ke kuvua bana babidi ba Eli, Hofeni ne Pinehasa,+ benzela Yehowa mudimu wa buakuidi.+
4 Dituku dikuabu pavua Elekana mulambule mulambu, wakapesha Penina pamue ne bana bende bonso ba balume ne ba bakaji mabulu a munyinyi,+
5 kadi wakapesha Hana dibulu dia munyinyi dia pa buadi, bualu Hana ke uvuaye munange; kadi Yehowa kavua mumupeshe bana to.*
6 Mukenende uvua kabidi umusendeka kakuyi dikisha bua kumutatshisha mu lungenyi, bualu Yehowa kavua mumupeshe bana to.
7 Ke muvuaye wenza tshidimu tshionso; misangu yonso ivua Hana ubanda ku nzubu wa Yehowa,+ mukenende uvua umusendeka bikole, bimufikisha ku didila ne ku dibenga kudia.
8 Kadi bayende Elekana wakamuebeja ne: “Hana, udi udila bua tshinyi? Kuena udia bua tshinyi? Udi mubungame nunku bua tshinyi?* Meme tshiena mupite bana ba balume dikumi kuudi anyi?”
9 Pashishe pakajikijabu kudia ne kunua ku Shilo, Hana wakajuka. Dîba adi muakuidi Eli uvua musombe pa tshisombedi tshivua pabuipi ne dikunji dia ku tshiibi tshia ntempelo*+ wa Yehowa.
10 Hana uvua ne kanyinganyinga* ka bungi menemene, ne wakatuadija kusambila Yehowa+ ne kudila bikole.
11 Nunku wakaditshipa ne: “Yehowa wa biluilu, wewe mutangile lutatu lua muena mudimu webe, mumvuluke, kuyi upua muena mudimu webe muoyo, ne wewe mupeshe muena mudimu webe muana wa balume,+ nemmufile kudi Yehowa matuku ende onso a muoyo, ne kapaya kakakulenga ku mutu wende to.”+
12 Pavuaye musambile mutantshi mule kumpala kua Yehowa, Eli uvua mutangile mishiku yende.
13 Hana uvua wakuila mu muoyo wende, mishiku yende nkayayi ke ivua izakala, kadi dîyi diende kadivua diumvuika to. Nunku Eli wakela meji ne: uvua mukuatshike.
14 Eli wakamuambila ne: “Neushale mukuatshike too ne dîba kayi? Lekela kunua mvinyo webe au.”
15 Ke Hana kuandamuna ne: “Tòo, mukalenge wanyi! Ndi mukaji udi ne kanyinganyinga kakole;* tshiena munue mvinyo anyi maluvu makuabu makole to, kadi ndi mpumuna anyima* wanyi kumpala kua Yehowa.+
16 Kuangatshi muena mudimu webe bu mukaji tshianana to, bualu dikenga dianyi dinene ne kanyinganyinga ke bidi bingakuishe too ne mpindieu.”
17 Nunku Eli wakamuambila ne: “Ndaku mu ditalala, ne Nzambi wa Isalele akumbaje dilomba diebe diudi mumulombe.”+
18 Ke yeye kuamba ne: “Muena mudimu webe anyishibue ku mêsu kuebe.” Pashishe mukaji au wakaya, yeye kudia, ne mpala wende katshivua kabidi mubungame to.
19 Nunku bakabika mu dinda menemene, bobu kuinama kumpala kua Yehowa, pashishe bakapingana ku nzubu kuabu ku Lama.+ Elekana wakasangila ne mukajende Hana, ne Yehowa wakamuvuluka.+
20 Munda mua tshidimu tshimue* Hana wakapeta difu, kulelaye muana wa balume, kumuinyikaye+ ne: Samuele,* bualu uvua muambe ne: “Ndi mumulombe kudi Yehowa.”
21 Pakapita matuku Elekana wakabanda ne ba mu nzubu muende bonso bua kulambula Yehowa mulambu uvuaye ulambula ku tshidimu,+ ne bua kufila mulambu wende wa kukumbaja nawu mutshipu.
22 Kadi Hana kakabanda to,+ bualu wakambila bayende ne: “Diakamue pandi ndekesha muana dibele, nenye nende; dîba adi neamueneke kumpala kua Yehowa, ne kubangila anu pine apu neashale kuntu aku.”+
23 Nunku bayende Elekana wakamuambila ne: “Enza tshiudi mumone ne: ntshitambe buimpe.* Shala kumbelu too ne paudi ulekesha muana dibele. Yehowa akumbajaku tshiudi muambe.” Nunku mukaji wakashala kumbelu, kuamushaye muanende too ne pakamulekeshaye dibele.
24 Diakamue pakamulekeshaye dibele, wakabanda nende ku Shilo pamue ne ngombe mulume wa bidimu bisatu, efa* umue wa bukula ne mulondo munene wa mvinyo,+ ne wakafika ku nzubu wa Yehowa ku Shilo,+ ne uvua mulue ne muana wa balume.
25 Pashishe bakashipa ngombe mulume au, kuyabu ne muana kudi Eli.
26 Ke Hana kuamba ne: “Mfuila koku luse, mukalenge wanyi! Bulelela, bu muudi wewe ne muoyo,* mukalenge wanyi, meme ke mukaji uvua muimane nebe muaba eu bua kusambila Yehowa.+
27 Mvua nsambila bua muana wa balume eu, ne Yehowa uvua mukumbaje dilomba dianyi dimvua mumulombe.+
28 Mpindieu meme panyi ndi mmusombesha Yehowa. Bua matuku ende onso, yeye mmusombesha Yehowa.”
Pashishe yeye* wakinamina Yehowa muaba au.
