Omukanda wo Tete wa Samuwele
1 Kwali omulume umwe wo ko Lamataii-Sofii,*+ konomphunda mbotyilongo tyo Efalaii,+ utiwa o Elekana,+ omona wa Selowau, Selowau omona wa Eliyuu, Eliyuu omona wa Touu, Touu omona wa Sufe, omu Efalaii. 2 Wanepele oluvale: omukai umwe utiwa o Ana, omukwavo o Penina. Penina una ovana, mahi Ana utupu ovana. 3 Omulume oo, omanima atyo aeho utunda peumbo liae, aende ko Silo akafende* Huku, ende akalingila ovilikutila Siovaa Huku yovita.+ Oko, oko kukala ovana vevali va Elii, Hofini na Fineya+ ovanakwa va Siovaa.+
4 Nthiki imwe etyi Elekana akalinga otyilikutila, apolela-ko Penina omukai wae, novana vae ovakwendye novakainthu vatyo,+ 5 mahi Ana emupolela-ko oviwa viatyo, mokonda oe ehole vali unene. Mahi Siovaa kapele Ana olutyito.* 6 Mukai mukwavo apeho umukwela emunumanese mokonda Siovaa kemupele ovana. 7 Omanima aeho Penina otyo emulinga ngootyo; apeho tyina Ana enda kondywo ya Siovaa,+ mukai mukwavo umukwela, otyo atyimulilisa, nokulia ahali. 8 Elekana omulume wae emupulu ati: “Ana, ukahi nokulila-tyi, omokonda yatyi wahalila? Wanumanena-tyi unene ñgaa?* Ame mulume wove hikahi vali nawa kwoove tyipona ovana 10?”
9 Hono nthiki imwe veli mo Silo valia, otyo vanwa, etyi vamana Ana akatuka. Omunakwa Elii upumphi kotyipundi, pombundi pomuti wokwakwata epito liondywo*+ ya Siovaa. 10 Ana waihamenwa* unene, ahimbika okwiita ku Siovaa,+ otyo alila nii ahamutu. 11 Alingi omphango ati: “Siovaa Huku yange, Huku yovita, tala-vo ononkhumbi ndyina-mbo, ine unthyinangela, ohalimbwa ame muundapi wove, ope omuundapi wove omona omukwendye,+ ame mandyimupakula kwoove Siovaa akala wove ononthiki ambuho mbomwenyo wae, onohuki mbae ambahamakeywa-ko.”+
12 Akala ehimbwe tyilikwambela ku Siovaa, ou Elii otyo atala tyina apikaitisa omilungu viae. 13 Ana uli nokulikwambelela momutima, ondaka yae kaiivala, omilungu vala vipikaita. Elii ati hamwe wakolwa. 14 Emuti: “Atee nalupi motwalako okunwa unene? Yeka-po okunwa ovinyu.” 15 Ana akumbulula ati: “Au, Tatekulu yange! Ame ndyimukai umwe weihamenwa unene;* nati vala anahanwine ovinyu, anahanwine natyike tyikoleswa, mahi ndyikahi vala nokupopila Siovaa atyiho ndyina-tyo monthulo yange.+ 16 Wahasoke okuti ame muundapi wove, hisilivila mokonda ame ndyikahi vala nokulikwambela atee pahetyino tyeetyi namona emone neetyi naihamenwa.” 17 Elii emupopila okuti: “Enda nombembwa, Huku yo Isilayeli ekwavele etyi wemwiita.”+ 18 Ngwe ati: “Omuundapi wove apandwe noove.” Aende, akalia, kotyipala tyae akuviauluka, ahalingi vali ngou weihamenwa.
19 Pahe onthiki yalandula-ko avelimeneka, avekelipetamena ku Siovaa, pahe avakondoka keumbo liavo ko Lamaa.+ Elekana alala nomukai wae Ana, Siovaa ahinangela* Ana.+ 20 Kapalambele-ale enima,* Ana akala omulemi, akutula omona omukwendye, emuluku+ okuti o Samuwele,* ngokuti: “Nemwiita ku Siovaa.”
21 Mononthiki mbatyo ombo, Elekana aende notyikumba tyae atyiho avakaava otyilikutila tyilingilwa Siovaa nima na nima,+ notyiawa tyokufwisapo etyi vapopile. 22 Mahi Ana ahaende,+ apopila omulume wae okuti: “Omona tyina amakupuka,* ame mandyimutwala; makakala mondywo ya* Siovaa, akakala-mo apeho.”+ 23 Elekana omulume wae emupopila ati: “Linga etyi weete tyaviuka.* Sala meumbo atee umupolako. Siovaa afwisepo etyi ove wapopia.” Omukai esala meumbo, tyitekula omona wae atee emupola-ko.
24 Etyi emupola-ko emutwala ko Silo, atyindilila onthane ina omanima etatu, nofinde onyingi,* nomulindi omunene wovinyu,+ aende kondywo ya Siovaa ko Silo,+ atwala omona wae omukwendye. 25 Avaipaa onthane, avatwala omona ku Elii. 26 Ana ati: “Otyiponyo tatekulu! Natukaila umwe ove tatekulu una omwenyo,* ame omukai wokwali pano noove, nali nokulikwambela ku Siovaa.+ 27 Omona oyou naitile etyi ndyilikwambela pana, Siovaa wakumbulula elikwambelo liange.+ 28 Pahe ame nati ndyimupakule ku Siovaa. Ononthiki ambuho mbomwenyo wae, malingi wa Siovaa.”
