Abantu bafuna ukumkani
1Kwathi, xenikweni uSamuweli alixhego, wabamisa oonyana bakhe baba ngabagwebi kumaSirayeli. 2Igama lonyana wakhe wamazibulo lalinguYoweli, igama lowesibini lalinguAbhiya; bengabagwebi eBher-shebba. 3Oonyana bakhe abahambanga ngendlela yakhe, banabela inzuzo embi, bamkela izicengo, basijika isigwebo.
4Aza ahlanganisana onke amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, eza kuSamuweli eRama, 5athi kuye, Uyabona, wàluphele wena, oonyana bakho abahambi ngendlela yakho; simisele ngoko ukumkani wokusilawula, njengeentlanga ezi zonke. 6Laba libi elo zwi emehlweni kaSamuweli, xa bathi, Sinike ukumkani wokusilawula. Wathandaza uSamuweli kuYehova.
7Wathi uYehova kuSamuweli, Liphulaphule izwi labantu entweni yonke abayithethayo kuwe; ngokuba ingenguwe abamgibileyo, bagibé mna, ukuze ndingabi ngukumkani kubo. 8Ngokwezenzo zonke abazenzileyo, kuselokwemini endabanyusayo eYiputa kwada kwaba namhla, bandishiya, bakhonza thixo bambi, benjenjalo namhla nakuwe. 9Liphulaphule ngoko izwi labo; kodwa uze ubaqononondise kakuhle, ubaxelele isiko aya kuphatha ngalo ukumkani oya kuba ngukumkani wabo.
10Wabaxelela ke uSamuweli abo bantu babebiza ukumkani kuye onke amazwi kaYehova. 11Wathi, Lilo eli ísiko lokumkani oya kuba ngukumkani kuni: Oonyana benu uya kubathabatha abamisele yena ezinqwelweni zakhe zokulwa, nasemahasheni akhe akhwelwayo, babaleke phambi kwenqwelo yakhe; 12abamisele yena babe ngabathetheli bamawaka, naBathetheli bamashumi ngamahlanu, balíme amasimi akhe, bavune ukutya kwakhe, benzé iimpahla zakhe zemfazwe neempahla zenqwelo yakhe. 13Iintombi zenu wozithabatha zibe ngabaqholikazi, nabapheki, nabosi bezonka. 14Amasimi enu wówathabatha, nezidiliya zenu, nezinquma zenu ezona zilungileyo, azinike abakhonzi bakhe; 15nesishumi sembewu yenu asibize, nesezidiliya zenu, asinike ababusi bakhe nabakhonzi bakhe. 16Abakhonzi benu uya kubathabatha, nabakhonzazana benu, namadodana enu, namaesile enu, enze umsebenzi wakhe; 17isishumi sempahla yenu emfutshane asibize; nina nibe ngabakhonzi bakhe. 18Niya kukhala ngaloo mini ngokumkani wenu enazinyulelayo, anganiphenduli uYehova ngaloo mini.
19Àbavuma abantu ukuliphulaphula ilizwi likaSamuweli; bathi, Hayi, inene, masibe nokumkani; 20nathi sibe njengeentlanga ezi zonke, asilawule ukumkani wethu, aphume phambi kwethu, alwe iimfazwe zethu.
21Waweva uSamuweli onke amazwi abantu, wawathetha ezindlebeni zikaYehova. 22Wathi uYehova kuSamuweli, Liphulaphule izwi labo, ubenzele ukumkani. Wathi uSamuweli kumadoda akwaSirayeli, Hambani niye elowo emzini wakhe.
