1 Sonu penga munthu munyaki wa ku Ramatayimu-zofimu*+ kuchigaŵa chamapiri cha Efurayemu.+ Iyu wadanikanga kuti Elikana+ ndipu wenga mwana waku Yerohamu, mwana waku Elihu, mwana waku Tohu, mwana waku Zufu, wa mu fuku laku Efurayemu.
2 Elikana wenga ndi anthukazi ŵaŵi, munyaki wadanikanga kuti Hana ndipu munyaki wadanikanga kuti Penina. Penina wenga ndi ŵana, kweni Hana wengavi ŵana.
3 Chaka ndi chaka, munthu mwenuyu watuwanga mutawuni yaki ndi kuluta ku Shilo kuchisopa* kweniso kuchipereka sembi kwaku Yehova wa mizinda.+ Kwenuku ndiku Hofini ndi Finihasi,+ ŵana ŵaŵi aku Eli ateŵetiyanga nge asembi aku Yehova.+
4 Zuŵa linyaki Elikana wachipereka sembi, wangugaŵiya muwolu waki Penina limoza ndi ŵana ŵaki anthulumi ndi anthukazi vigaŵa va sembi.+
5 Kweni Hana wangumupaska chigaŵa chamampha ukongwa, chifukwa wamuyanjanga ukongwa; kweni Yehova wangumupaska ŵana cha Hana.*
6 Muwolu munyaki wamunyozanga nyengu zosi kuti wamukwiyisi chifukwa Yehova wangumupaska ŵana cha.
7 Venivi ndivu wachitanga chaka ndi chaka; asani Hana waluta kunyumba yaku Yehova,+ muwolu munyaki wamunyozanga ukongwa mwakuti waliyanga ndipu watondekanga kurya.
8 Kweni Elikana mulumu waki wangumukambiya kuti: “Hana, ntchifukwa wuli uliya? Ntchifukwa wuli uleka kurya? Kweniso ntchifukwa wuli we ndi chitima viyo?* Asi ini nde wakuzirwa kwaku yiwi kuluska ŵana anthulumi 10?”
9 Pavuli paki, ŵati amaliza kurya ndi kumwa, Hana wangusoka ku Shilo. Pa nyengu yeniyi, Eli wasembi wanguja pampandu pafupi ndi pakhomu la nyumba yakusopiyamu*+ yaku Yehova.
10 Hana wavwanga kuŵaŵa ukongwa mumtima, ndipu wangwamba kupemphera kwaku Yehova+ kweniso kuliya ukongwa.
11 Iyu wangulapizga kuti: “Yehova wa mizinda, asani mwawona suzgu ya mteŵeti winu ndipu mwandikumbuka, kweniso asani mwamuluwa cha mteŵeti winu ndipu mteŵeti winu mwamupaska mwana munthulumi,+ ndimuperekengi kwaku Yehova mazuŵa ngosi nga umoyu waki, kweniso rezara likwaskengi mutu waki cha.”+
12 Hana wachipemphera kwaku Yehova kwa nyengu yitali, Eli wamulereskanga pamulomu.
13 Hana walongoronga chamumtima. Milomu yaki yanjekemiyanga kweni mazu ngaki ngavwikanga cha. Sonu Eli wanguŵanaŵana kuti waloŵe.
14 Eli wangumukambiya kuti: “Uŵengi wakuloŵe mpaka zuŵanji? Leka kumwa vinyu waku.”
15 Hana wangumuka kuti: “Awa ambuya! Ini nde munthukazi wakusuzgika maŵanaŵanu;* ndamwa vinyu cha pamwenga moŵa wewosi, kweni ndikambiya* Yehova vo ve mumtima mwangu.+
16 Mteŵeti winu mungamuwonanga nge munthukazi wawuliwuli cha, pakuti mpaka sonu ndeche kulongoro chifukwa chakufipa mtima kweniso kusuzgika maŵanaŵanu.”
17 Sonu Eli wangumuka kuti: “Luta mu chimangu, ndipu Chiuta waku Isirayeli wakupaski vo wamupempha.”+
18 Hana wangumuka kuti: “Mteŵeti winu wasaniyi wezi pa masu pinu.” Sonu Hana wanguluta, wangurya ndipu chisku chaki chingujapu so chachitima cha.
19 Sonu yiwu angusoka ndi mlenjilenji ndipu angujikama pa masu paku Yehova, pavuli paki anguwere kunyumba kwawu ku Rama.+ Elikana wangugonana ndi muwolu waki Hana ndipu Yehova wangumukumbuka Hana.+
20 Mu chaka chenicho,* Hana wangume nthumbu ndipu wangubala mwana munthulumi. Iyu wangumudana+ zina lakuti Samuyeli,* chifukwa wangukamba kuti, “ndingumupempha kwaku Yehova.”
21 Pati pajumpha nyengu, Elikana wanguluta limoza ndi banja laki losi kuti wakapereki sembi ya chaka ndi chaka kwaku Yehova,+ kweniso kuti wakapereki sembi yaki yakulapizga.
22 Kweni Hana wanguja,+ pakuti wangukambiya mulumu waki kuti: “Asani ndamulumula ŵaka* mwana uyu, ndikengi nayu; pa nyengu yeniyi wamuwoneke pa masu paku Yehova ndipu wamujanga kweniko kutuliya pa nyengu yeniyo.”+
23 Mulumu waki Elikana wangumukambiya kuti: “Chita vo uŵanaŵana kuti vamampha.* Uje panyumba mpaka po wamulumuliya. Yehova wachiti vo yiwi wakamba.” Mwaviyo, Hana wanguja panyumba ndipu wawonkhesanga mwana waki mpaka po wangumulumuliya.
24 Wati wamulumula ŵaka, wangumuto ndi kuluta nayu ku Shilo limoza ndi ng’ombi yinthulumi ya vyaka vitatu, ufwa wakukwana mwesu umoza wa efa* kweniso msuku ukulu wa vinyu,+ ndipu wanguza ndi mwana waki munthulumi kunyumba yaku Yehova ku Shilo.+
25 Yiwu angubaya ng’ombi yo ndipu mwana yo anguza nayu kwaku Eli.
26 Sonu Hana wangukamba kuti: “Pepani ambuya! Nadi panu nge mo yimwi muliri amoyu ambuya, ini nde munthukazi yuwa wanguma limoza ndi yimwi pamalu yanga ndi kupemphera kwaku Yehova.+
27 Ndapempheranga kuti wandipaski mwana uyu, ndipu Yehova wandipaska vo ndingumupempha.+
28 Sonu nani nditimupereka* kwaku Yehova. Ndamupereka kwaku Yehova kwa umoyu waki wosi.”
Ndipu iyu* wangujikama penipo kwaku Yehova.
