1Kwakukho indoda yaseRamatayim-Sofim, kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, egama belinguElikana, unyana kaYeroham, unyana kaElihu, unyana kaTohu, unyana kaSufi, umEfrati.

2Yayinabafazi ababini; igama lomnye belinguAna, igama lomnye belinguPenina; yaye uPenina wayenabantwana, kodwa uHana wayengenabantwana.

3Le ndoda ibiphuma iminyaka ngeminyaka, iye kuthandaza, ibingelele kuYehova wemikhosi eShilo. Babekhona ke oonyana bakaEli bobabini, uHofeni noPinehasi, ababingeleli bakaYehova.

4Lafika ixesha likaElikana lokubingelela, wanika umkakhe uPenina, noonyana bakhe bonke, neentombi zakhe, izabelo.

5Ke yena uAna wamnika isabelo esaneleyo; ngokuba ebemthanda uAna, ke uYehova ebesivalile isizalo sakhe.

6Yaye utshaba lwakhe lwalusenza intlekisa ngaye ukuze amqhathe, ngenxa yokuba uYehova wayesivalile isibeleko sakhe.

7Wenza loo nto iminyaka emininzi ekunyukeni kwakhe ukuya endlwini kaYehova, wadlala ngaye; ke ngoko, walila akadla.

8Wathi uElikana indoda yakhe kuye, Hana, uyalila na? Kutheni ungatyi nje? Yini na ukuba ibe mbi intliziyo yakho? Andilungile na kuwe ngaphezu koonyana abalishumi?

9Wesuka uAna, emveni kokuba ebedlile eShilo, emveni kokuba besele. uEli umbingeleli wayehleli esitulweni esisecaleni kwentsika yetempile kaYehova.

10Waba buhlungu kakhulu umphefumlo wakhe, wathandaza kuYehova, wasitsho isililo.

11Wafunga wathi, Yehova wemikhosi, ukuba uthe wazikhumbula iintsizi zam nomkhonzazana wakho, akwamlibala umkhonzazana wakho, wamnika umkhonzazana wakho umntwana oyinkwenkwe: ndomnika uYehova yonke imihla yobomi bam. Hlala endlwini yakho ubomi bakhe, nencakuba ayiyi kufika entlokweni yakhe.

12Njengoko wayeqhubeka ethandaza phambi koYehova, uEli wawubona umlomo wakhe.

13uAna wathetha entliziyweni yakhe; yayibebezela imilebe yodwa, ilizwi lakhe lingavakali; ke ngoko, uEli wacinga ukuba unxilile.

14Wathi uEli kuye, Koda kube nini na unxila? yisuse iwayini yakho kuwe.

15Waphendula uAna, wathi, Hayi, nkosi yam, ungumfazi omoya unobunzima; Andiselanga wayini nasiselo sinxilisayo, kodwa ndawuphalaza umphefumlo wam phambi koYehova.

16Musa ukuthabatha umkhonzazana wakho njengentombi yetshijolo;

17uEli waphendula wathi: “Hamba ngoxolo, yaye uThixo kaSirayeli wokunika imithandazo yakho oyicelileyo kuye.

18Wathi, Umkhonzazana wakho makababalwe nguwe. Waya ke umfazi lowo, wadla, ababa saba lusizi ubuso bakhe.

19Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu baza baqubuda phambi koYehova baza babuya bafika ekhayeni labo eRama; uElikana wamthiya igama elinguHana umkakhe; uYehova wamkhumbula.

20Ngoko lathi lakufika ixesha lokuba uAna akhawule, wazala unyana, waza wamthiya igama elinguSamuweli, esithi: “Kungenxa yokuba ndamcela kuYehova.

21Yenyuka indoda leyo inguElikana nendlu yayo yonke, iye kubingelela umbingelelo womnyaka, nesifungo sayo kuYehova.

22Ke yena uAna akanyukanga; ngokuba wathi endodeni yakhe, Andiyi kunyuka ndinyuke, ade azale umntwana;

23Wathi uElikana indoda yakhe kuye, Yenza ngokubona kwakho; hlala ude umgxothe; NguYehova yedwa olaziyo ilizwi lakhe. Wahlala ke umfazi lowo, wancancisa unyana wakhe, wada wamlumla;

24Akuba emlumle, wamthabatha wahamba naye, kunye neenkunzi zeenkomo ezintathu ne-efa enye yomgubo nengxowa yewayini, wamzisa endlwini kaYehova eShilo, yaye umntwana usemncinci.

25Bayixhela inkunzi entsha, bamsa umntwana kuEli.

26Wathi, Camagu, nkosi yam, lo gama usadla ubomi umphefumlo wakho, nkosi yam, ndingulaa mfazi wayemi nawe apha, ethandaza kuYehova.

27Bendithandazela lo mntwana; Wandinika ke uYehova umthandazo endawucelayo kuye.

28Kungenxa yoko le nto bendiboleka uYehova nam; yonke imihla yobomi bakhe, uya kunikezelwa kuYehova. Yaye wanqula uYehova kanye apho.
