Choyamikira cha Hana

1 Ndipo Hana anapemphera, nati,

Mtima wanga umyuka mokondwera kwa Yehova,

4 Mauta a amphamvu anathyoka,

5 Amene anakhuta anakasuma chakudya;

inde chumba chabala asanu ndi awiri;

ndipo iye amene ali ndi ana ambiri achita liwondewonde.

6 Yehova amapha, napatsa moyo;

Iye amatsitsa kumanda, naukitsanso.

7 Yehova asaukitsa, nalemeretsa;

8 Amuutsa waumphawi m’fumbi,

ndi kuti akhale nacho cholowa cha chimpando cha ulemerero.

Chifukwa nsanamira za dziko lapansi nza Yehova,

ndipo Iye anakhazika dziko pa izo.

9 Adzasunga mapazi a okondedwa ake,

koma oipawo adzawakhalitsa chete mumdima;

pakuti palibe munthu adzapambana ndi mphamvu.

10 Otsutsana ndi Yehova adzaphwanyika;

kumwamba Iye adzagunda pa iwo;

Yehova adzaweruza malekezero a dziko.

Ndipo adzapatsa mphamvu mfumu yake,

nadzakweza nyanga ya wodzozedwa wake.

11 Ndipo Elikana ananka kwao ku Rama, mwanayo natumikira Yehova pamaso pa Eli wansembeyo.

Kuchimwa kwa ana a Eli

12 Koma ana a Eli anali oipa; sanadziwe Yehova.

13 Ndipo machitidwe a ansembe akuchitira anthu ndiwo, kuti pamene munthu aliyense akapereka nsembe, mnyamata wa wansembeyo akabwera, nyama ili chiwirire, ndi chovuulira cha ngowe cha mano atatu m’dzanja lake;

14 nachipisa m’chimphuli, kapena mumkhate, kapena m’nkhali, kapena mumphika; yonse imene chovuuliracho chinaitulutsa, wansembeyo anaitenga ikhale yake. Ankatero ku Silo ndi Aisraele onse akufika kumeneko.

15 Ngakhale asanayambe kupsereza mafuta, amadza mnyamata wa wansembe, namuuza wopereka nsembe, nati, Umpatse wansembeyo nyama yoti akaotche; pakuti safuna nyama yako yophika koma yaiwisi.

16 Ndipo ngati munthu akanena naye, Koma adzatentha mafuta tsopano apa, atatha, utenge monga mtima wako ufuna; uyo akanena naye, Iai, koma undipatsire iyo tsopanoli, ukapanda kutero ndidzailanda.

17 Ndipo zoipa za anyamatawo zinali zazikulu ndithu pamaso pa Yehova; pakuti anthu anaipidwa ndi nsembe ya Yehova.

18 Koma Samuele anatumikira pamaso pa Yehova akali mwana, atamangira m’chuuno ndiefodiwabafuta.

19 Ndiponso amake akamsokera mwinjiro waung’ono, nabwera nao kwa iye chaka ndi chaka, pakudza pamodzi ndi mwamuna wake kudzapereka nsembe ya pachaka.

20 Ndipo Eli anadalitsa Elikana ndi mkazi wake, nati, Yehova akupatse mbeu ndi mkazi uyu m’malo mwa iye amene munampempha kwa Yehova. Ndipo iwowa anabwera kwao.

21 Ndipo Yehova anakumbukira Hana, naima iye, nabala ana aamuna atatu, ndi ana aakazi awiri. Ndipo mwanayo Samuele anakula pamaso pa Yehova.

22 Ndipo Eli anali wokalamba ndithu; namva zonse ana ake anachitira Aisraele onse, ndi kuti anagona ndi akazi akusonkhana pa khomo lachihema chokomanako.

23 Ndipo iye ananena nao, Mumachitiranji chotere: popeza ndilinkumva za machitidwe anu oipa kwa anthu onsewa.

24 Iai, ana anga, popeza mbiri imene ndilikuimva sili yabwino iai; mulikulakwitsa anthu a Yehova.

25 Munthu akachimwira munthu mnzake oweruza adzaweruza mlandu wake; koma ngati munthu achimwira Yehova, adzampembedzera ndani? Koma ngakhale adatero, iwo aja anakhalabe osamvera mau a atate wao, chifukwa Yehova adati adzawaononga.

26 Ndipo mwanayo Samuele anakulakula, ndipo Yehova ndi anthu omwe anamkomera mtima.

28 Kodi sindinasankhule iye pakati pa mafuko onse a Israele, akhale wansembe wanga, kuti apereke nsembe paguwa langa, nafukize zonunkhira, navale efodi pamaso panga? Kodi sindinapatse banja la kholo lako zopereka zonse za kumoto za ana a Israele?

29 Nanga umaponderezeranji nsembe yanga ndi chopereka changa, zimene ndinalamulira m’mokhalamo mwanga; ndipo uchitira ana ako ulemu koposa Ine, kudzinenepetsa inu nokha ndi zokometsetsa za zopereka zao zonse za Aisraele, anthu anga?

30 Chifukwa chake Yehova Mulungu wa Israele akuti, Ndinaterodi kuti banja lako ndi banja la kholo lako lidzayenda pamaso panga nthawi zonse; koma tsopano Yehova ati, Chikhale kutali ndi Ine; popeza amene andilemekeza Ine, Inenso ndidzawalemekeza iwowa, ndipo akundipeputsa Ine, adzapeputsidwa.

31 Ona, masiku alinkudza amene ndidzadula dzanja lako, ndi dzanja la nyumba ya kholo lako, kuti m’banja lako musakhalenso nkhalamba.

32 Ndipo udzaona masautso a mokhalamo Mulungu, m’malo mwa zabwino zonse Iye akadachitira Israele. Banja lako lidzakhala opanda nkhalamba chikhalire.

33 Ndipo munthu wako, amene ndidzamleka osamlikha paguwa langa la nsembe, adzatha maso ako, ndi kumvetsa mtima wako chisoni; ndipo obadwa onse a m’banja lako adzamwalira akali biriwiri.

34 Ndipo ichi chimene chidzafikira ana ako awiri Hofeni ndi Finehasi, chidzakhala chizindikiro kwa iwo, tsiku limodzi adzafa iwo onse awiri.

35 Ndipo ndidzadziukitsira wansembe wokhulupirika, amene adzachita monga chimene chili mumtima mwanga ndi m’chifuniro changa; ndipo ndidzammangira nyumba yokhazikika, ndipo iyeyu adzayenda pamaso pa wodzozedwa wanga masiku onse.

36 Ndipo kudzali kuti yense wakusiyidwa wa m’banja lako adzabwera kwa iye nadzawerama ndi kupempha ndalama ndi chakudya, nadzati, Mundipatsetu ntchito ina ya wansembe, kuti ndikaone kakudya.
