3 Pali iyo nshita umwaice Samwele alebombela+ Yehova ku cinso ca kwa Eli, kabili muli isho nshiku Yehova+ alelanda fye limo limo;+ ifimonwa+ tafyaseekele.
2 Nomba muli ubo bushiku Eli alileele mu muputule wakwe, kabili amenso yakwe yatendeke ukushibantukila;+ alefilwa ukumona.
3 Ne nyali ya kwa Lesa yali tailashima, na Samwele aleele mwi tempele+ lya kwa Yehova, umwali icipao ca kwa Lesa.
4 Awe Yehova aitile Samwele. Na o ayaswike ati: “Ndi pano mukwai.”+
5 E lyo abutukile kuli Eli no kutila: “Ndi pano mukwai, nacumfwa mwanjita.” Lelo atile: “Nshikwitile. Bwelelamo kalaale.” Awe alibwelelemo no kuyalaala.
6 Na Yehova abwekeshepo ukwita ati: “Samwele!”+ Na o Samwele alimine no kuya kuli Eli no kutila: “Ndi pano mukwai, nacumfwa mwanjita.” Lelo atile: “Iyo nshikwitile mwana wandi.+ Bwelelamo kalaale.”
7 (Nomba Samwele ninshi talaishiba Yehova, ne cebo ca kwa Yehova ninshi tacilatendeka ukusokololwa kuli ena.)+
8 E lyo Yehova abwekeshepo ukwita umuku walenga itatu ati: “Samwele!” Na o alimine no kuya kuli Eli no kutila: “Ndi pano mukwai, pantu kwena mwacinjita.”
E lyo Eli ailwike ukuti ni Yehova aleita uyu mwaice.
9 E ico Eli aebele Samwele ati: “Kabiye kalaale, nomba nga akwita na kabili, utile, ‘Soseni, mwe Yehova, pantu umubomfi wenu alekutika.’” E fyo Samwele abwelelemo no kuyalaala pa ncende yakwe.
10 Na Yehova alishile no kwiminina, e lyo alaita ifyo amwitile mu nshita shimbi ati: “Samwele, Samwele!” Na o Samwele atile: “Soseni, pantu umubomfi wenu alekutika.”+
11 E lyo Yehova asosele kuli Samwele ati: “Mona! Ndecita+ icintu mu Israele ica kuti onse uwacumfwa, cikamupesha amano.+
12 Muli ubo bushiku nkacita kuli Eli conse ico nasosa pa ba mu ng’anda yakwe, ukufuma pa kutendeka ukufika pa mpela.+
13 Kabili ufwile ukumweba ati ndepingula aba mu ng’anda yakwe+ umuyayaya pa filubo fyakwe. Alishiba+ ukuti abana bakwe abaume balesaalula Lesa,+ lelo tabakalipila.+
14 E mulandu wine nalapila ku ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Eli ukuti nkabakanda pa filubo fyabo kabili takwakabe ilambo nelyo umutuulo uwingafuta pa filubo fyabo umuyayaya.”+
15 Awe Samwele alileele mpaka ulucelo. E lyo aiswile ifiibi fya ng’anda ya kwa Yehova.+ Kabili Samwele alitiinine ukweba Eli pa lwa cimonwa.+
16 Lelo Eli aitile Samwele ati: “Samwele, mwana wandi!” Na o ayaswike ati: “Mukwai.”
17 E lyo atile: “Finshi akwebele? Wimfisa.+ Lesa nakukande, alundenapo+ nga ca kuti wamfisapo cimo pa mashiwi yonse ayo akwebele.”
18 E ico Samwele amwebele amashiwi yonse, kabili tamufishilepo nangu cimo. E lyo atile: “Kufwaya kwa kwa Yehova. Nacite icawama mu menso yakwe.”+
19 Awe Samwele alekula, kabili Yehova ali nankwe+ kabili talekele amashiwi nangu yamo ayo alesosa ukukanafikilishiwa.+
20 Na bena Israele bonse ukufuma ku Dani ukufika ku Beere-sheba+ baishibe ukuti Samwele e o balaashile ukuba kasesema wa kwa Yehova.+
21 Awe Yehova amoneke na kabili+ mu Shilo, pantu Yehova aisokolwele kuli Samwele mu Shilo mu cebo ca kwa Yehova.+
