1 Samuweli 2:1-10

UHana wakhuleka wathi: “Inhliziyo yami iyajabula kuJehova, uphondo lwami luphakeme kuJehova; umlomo wami uvulekile phezu kwezitha zami; ngoba ngithokoza ngensindiso yakho. Akakho onjengoJehova, ngokuba akakho omunye ngaphandle kwakho, futhi alikho idwala elinjengoNkulunkulu wethu. Ungabe usakhuluma ngokuzidla; makungaphumi ukuzidla emlonyeni wenu, ngokuba uJehova unguNkulunkulu wokwazi, nezenzo zikalwa nguye. Iminsalo yabanamandla yaphuliwe, nabakhubekayo babhincwe amandla. Ababesuthi bazithengisela isinkwa; abalambileyo banqamuka, oyinyumba wazala abayisikhombisa; laye owayelabantwana abanengi waba buthakathaka. UJehova uyaphilisa; wehlela eHayidesi, akhuphule; UJehova uyampofu, acebise; Uyazithoba futhi aphakamise. Uyavusa ompofu othulini, aphakamise isinxibi endundumeni yomquba, ukuze asibeke phakathi kwezikhulu, abenze badle ifa lesihlalo sobukhosi senkazimulo; ngokuba izinsika zomhlaba zingezikaJehova, izwe liphezu kwazo. Uzalinda inyawo zabangcwele bakhe, lababi bazathuliswa ebumnyameni; ngoba ngamandla kakho ozanqoba. Abamelene noJehova bayochotshozwa; esezulwini uyakuduma phezu kwabo; uJehova uyakwahlulela imikhawulo yomhlaba; iyakunika inkosi yayo amandla, iphakamise uphondo logcotshiweyo wayo.
