uSamuweli 1 16:4-13

Wenza ke uSamuweli ngokwelizwi likaYehova, wafika eBhetelehem. Akufika kuye amadoda amakhulu aloo mzi, athi, Ufike enoxolo na? Wathi, Ndize kubingelela kuYehova ndinoxolo; zingcwaliseni, nize nam embingelelweni. Wabangcwalisa uYese noonyana bakhe waza wababizela embingelelweni. Ekufikeni kwabo, wakhangela kuEliyabhi, wathi, Okunene, umthanjiswa kaYehova unaye. Wathi uYehova kuSamuweli, Musa ukukhangela ubuso bakhe, nokuphakama kwesiqu sakhe; ngokuba ndimshiyile; ngokuba uYehova akaboni njengoko abonayo umntu; ngokuba umntu ukhangela umphandle, uYehova ukhangela intliziyo. uYese wabiza uAbhinadabhi waza wamvumela ukuba agqithe phambi koSamuweli. Wathi: uYehova akamnyulanga nalo. uYese wamndulula ke uSama. Wathi: uYehova akamnyulanga nalo. Kwakhona uYese wabandulula oonyana bakhe abasixhenxe ukuba badlule phambi koSamuweli. Wathi uSamuweli kuYese, uYehova akamnyulanga lo. Wathi uSamuweli kuYese, Baphelele na oonyana bakho? Wathi, Kusele umncinane; nanko lusalusa iigusha. Wathi uSamuweli kuYese, Thumela abizwe, ngokuba asinakuhlala ade eze apha. Wathumela ukuba aziswe. Ebebomvu ebusweni, emhle, emhle imbonakalo. Wathi uYehova, Suka ume, umthambise; ngokuba nguye; uSamuweli wathabatha uphondo oluneoli waza wamthambisa phakathi kwabazalwana bakhe, yaye umoya kaYehova wehla phezu koDavide ukususela ngaloo mini. Emva koko uSamuweli waphakama waya eRama.
