Hana wukamba Eli: ‘Mwana beni yidinda mu nsambu kwidi Yave nandi wuwu. Yima kwiza mbika mwingi kasadila Yave mu luzingu lwandi loso.’ Elekana ayi Hana baba kwendanga mu kadika mvu ku Silo mwingi kuntala ayi baba kunnatinanga mimvwatu mimona. Yave wubwe vana Hana bana batatu ba babakala ayi babwadi ba bakyeto.
