1 uSamuweli 1:17-28 IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE (ZUL59)
Wayesephendula u-Eli ethi: “Hamba ngokuthula; uNkulunkulu wakwa-Israyeli makakunike okucelileyo kuye.” Wathi: “Incekukazi yakho mayifumane umusa emehlweni akho.” Owesifazane wayesehamba, wadla, ubuso bakhe ababe busanyukumala. Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, bakhuleka phambi kukaJehova, babuya, bafika endlini yabo eRama; u-Elkana wamazi uHana umkakhe, uJehova wamkhumbula. Kwathi sesiphelele isikhathi, uHana wakhulelwa, wazala indodana, waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uSamuweli, ethi: “Ngimcelile kuJehova.” Lowo muntu u-Elkana wenyuka kanye nendlu yakhe ukuyonikela kuJehova umhlatshelo weminyaka nesithembiso sakhe. Kepha uHana akenyukanga, ngokuba wathi kumyeni wakhe: “Hhayi aze alunyulwe umntwana; khona ngiyakumyisa ukuba abonakale phambi kukaJehova, ahlale khona njalo.” Wayesethi u-Elkana umyeni wakhe kuye: “Yenza okuhle emehlweni akho; hlala uze umlumule; uJehova makaqinise izwi lakhe kuphela.” Owesifazane wayesehlala, wancelisa indodana yakhe waze wayilumula. Eseyilumulile wenyuka nayo enezinkunzi ezintathu, ne-efa* lempuphu, nemvaba yewayini, wakuyisa endlini kaJehova eShilo; umntwana wayesemncane. Bahlaba inkunzi, bamyisa umntwana ku-Eli. Wathi: “E nkosi, kuphila komphefumulo wakho, nkosi yami, ngingowesifazane owayemi kuwe lapha, ekhuleka kuJehova. Ngamkhulekela lo mntwana; uJehova unginikile lokho engakucela kuye; ngalokho nami ngimnikele kuJehova; zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe unikelwe kuJehova.” Bakhuleka kuJehova khona.

Wayesephendula u-Eli wathi: “Hamba ngokuthula; uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli makakunike okucelileyo kuye.” Wathi: “Incekukazi yakho mayifumane umusa emehlweni akho.” Owesifazane wayesehamba, wadla, ubuso bakhe ababe busanyukubala. Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu bakhuleka phambi kukaSimakade, base bebuyela emuva endlini yabo eRama. U-Elikhana walala nomkakhe, uSimakade wamkhumbula uHana. Kwathi ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi uHana wakhulelwa, wazibula ngendondana, wayiqamba igama wathi nguSamuweli, ethi: “Ngimcelile kuSimakade.” Lowo muntu, u-Elikhana, waphinda wenyuka nendlu yakhe ukuyonikela kuSimakade umhlatshelo waminyaka yonke, nokuyofeza isithembiso sakhe. Kodwa uHana akenyukanga, wathi kumyeni wakhe: “Angiyukwenyuka aze alunyulwe umntwana; khona ngizakumyisa ukuba abonakale phambi kukaSimakade, ahlale lapho njalo.” U-Elikhana, umyeni wakhe, wathi kuye: “Yenza okuhle emehlweni akho; hlala uze umlumule; uSimakade makaqinise izwi lakhe kuphela.” Owesifazane wayesehlala, wayincelisa indodana yakhe waze wayilumula. Eseyilumulile, wenyuka nayo, nezinkunzi ezintathu, i-efa lempuphu, nemvaba yewayini, wakuyisa endlini kaSimakade eShilo; umntwana wayesemncane. Bahlaba inkunzi, base bemyisa umntwana ku-Eli.

Lo mntwana ngamkhulekela kuSimakade ukuba angiphe yena; uSimakade unginikile lokho engangikucele kuye; ngakho-ke nami ngimnikela kuSimakade ukuba ngazo zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe abe ngokaSimakade.” Wakhothama kuSimakade elapho.

U-Eli waphendula wathi: “Hamba ngokuthula; uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uyakukunika ukunxusa kwakho okucelile kuye.” Wathi: “Incekukazi yakho mayifumane umusa emehlweni akho.” Wahamba-ke owesifazana, wadla, ubuso bakhe babungasadabuki. Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, bakhuleka phambi kukaJehova, babuya, bafika emzini wabo eRama; u-Elkana wamvuma uHana umkakhe; uJehova wamkhumbula. Kwathi lapho sesifikile isikhathi uHana akhulelwa ngaso, wazala indodana, wayiqamba ngokuthi uSamuweli, wathi: “Ngokuba ngamcela kuJehova.” Indoda u-Elkana yakhuphuka kanye nendlu yayo yonke ukunikela ngomhlatshelo weminyaka yonke nesithembiso sayo kuJehova. Kepha uHana akakhuphukanga; ngokuba wathi endodeni yakhe: “Angiyikukhuphuka umntwana aze alunyulwe; khona ngiyakumyisa ukuba abonakale phambi kukaJehova, ahlale khona kuze kube phakade.” Wayesethi u-Elkana umyeni wakhe kuye: “Yenza okuhle emehlweni akho; hlala uze umlumule; nguJehova kuphela oqinisa izwi lakhe. Owesifazane wayesehlala, wancelisa indodana yakhe waze wayilumula. Eseyilunyulile wahamba naye, kanye nezinkunzi ezintathu ne-efa likafulawa nesaka lewayini, wamyisa endlini kaJehova eShilo, umntwana esemncane. Basebehlaba inkunzi, bamletha umntwana kuEli. Wathi: “O nkosi yami, zonke izinsuku zomphefumulo wakho usaphila, nkosi yami, ngingowesifazane owayemi nawe lapha, wakhuleka kuJehova.” Ngamkhulekela lomntwana; futhi iNkosi yanginika umkhuleko engawucela kuyo. Ngalokho nami ngimnike uJehova; zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe uyakuba ngobolekiwe kuJehova. Wakhuleka kuJehova khona.
