Kapristu Muneni Eli wadiña nawanyana ayedi awamayala azatileña mudimu wawupristu hatabanaka. Majina awu adiña aHofini naFinihasi. Hiyovwahilileña nshimbi jaYehovaku, nawa akabishileña antu chikupu. Neyi aIsarela analeti nyilambu yakumulambula Yehova, aHofini naFinihasi asendeleña mbiji yayiwahi nankashi kulonda yiikali yawu. Eli amulejeleña yuma yelileña anyanindi ilaña kwosi chuma chelileñayi. Komana Yehova wetejeli yumiyi kutwalekahu?

Hela chakwila Samweli wadiña kansi nankashi hadi aHofini naFinihasi, hembujolileña yilwilu yawuku. Yehova wamutiyileña Samweli kuwaha. Ifuku dimu nawufuku iku Samweli nakaami, watiyili izu dinakumutambika. Wahindukili, wayili lufuchi kudi Eli nawa wamwilili nindi: ‘Yami onu!’ Ilaña Eli wamulejeli nindi: ‘Nakutambiki wanyi. Funtaku wakakaami.’ Samweli wafuntili cheñi nakukaama. Ilaña amutambikili cheñi. Samweli chatiyiliyi anamutambiki kamuchisatu, Eli wenjili nakwiluka nindi Yehova diyi wamutambikileña Samweli. Wamulejeli Samweli nindi neyi wukutiya anakutambiki cheñi, waakuli neyi: ‘Eyi Yehova, hoshaña. Ami kambuñeyi inakutiyilila.’

Samweli wafuntili cheñi nakukaama. Kuhiñahu watiyili anakumutambika nawu: ‘Samweli! Samweli!’ Yena waakwili nindi:  ‘Hoshaña, muloña ami kambuñeyi inakutiyilila.’ Yehova wamulejeli nindi: ‘Wumuleji Eli neyi inakumubabesha hamu nichisaka chindi. Neluki nindi anyanindi anakukoña yuma yatama mutabanaka yami, ilaña kwosi chinakwilayi.’ Hefuku dalondelelihu nantetemena, Samweli wenzunwini yiisu yakutabanaka neyi chelileñayi mpinji yejima. Watiyili woma kumuleja Kapristu Muneni yuma yahosheliyi Yehova. Ilaña Eli wamutambikili nakumwihula nindi: ‘Eyi mwanami, nsañwinyi yakulejayi Yehova? Nleji nsañu yejima yakulejayi.’ Dichi Samweli wamulejeli Eli nsañu yejima.

Hampinji yakulileñayi Samweli, Yehova watwalekelihu kwikala nindi. Mwahita ituña dejima, aIsarela ejima elukili nawu Yehova wamutondeli Samweli kwikala kaprofwetu ninsompeshi.
