ANA akukawona wuli kamcandaka kusalala! Kamcandaka lina lyakwe lili Samuyele. Mundu jwasajice mkono wakwe pamtwe pa Samuyelejo ali jwamkulungwa jwa ŵambopesi lina lyakwe Eli. Ŵakwika najo Samuyele kwa Eliwo ali Elikana baba ŵakwe Samuyele, soni Hana mama ŵakwe.

Pandaŵiji Samuyele agambile kola yaka mcece kapena msano basi. Nambo catameje ni Eli apano pa tenti jakulambilila Yehofa, yimpepe ni ŵambopesi ŵane. Ana ligongo cici Elikana ni Hana ŵampelece mundu jwamnandi mnopeju Samuyele kuti akatumicileje Yehofa pa tenti jakulambilila? Kwende tulole.

Pagambile kupita yaka yakuŵalanjika kutyocela ndaŵi jele Hana ŵadandawulaga mnope. Ŵadandawulaga ligongo lyakuti jwalakwe nganakola mwanace, nambo ŵamsakaga mnope mwanace.
