1 ¹Hariho umugabo w'i Ramatayimu-Sofimu wo mu misozi y'Abefurayimu witwaga Elikana mwene Yerohamu, mwene Elihu, mwene Tohu, mwene Sufu, w'Umwefurayimu. ²Yagiraga abagore babiri, Hana na Penina. Penina we yari afite abana, ariko Hana nta bana yari afite. ³Uko umwaka utashye yavaga mu mujyi wabo akajya gusenga no gutambira igitambo Data wa twese Nyiringabo i Shilo, aho abahungu bombi ba Eli, Hofuni na Finehasi, bari abatambyi ba Data wa twese. ⁴Igihe Elikana yatambaga, yahaga imigabane umugore we Penina n'abahungu be bose n'abakobwa be. ⁵Ariko Hana yamuhaga umugabane ukubye kabiri, kuko yamukundaga, nubwo Data wa twese yari yaramuzibye ubugumba. ⁶Kubera ko Data wa twese yari yaramuzibye ubugumba, uwo basangiye umugabo yamurakazaga bikomeye kugira ngo amuteze agahinda. ⁷Buri mwaka, igihe cyose Hana yazamukaga ajya mu nzu ya Data wa twese, Penina yaramurakazaga, ku buryo yararira akanga kurya. ⁸Umugabo we Elikana aramubaza ati: “Hana, kuki urira? Kuki wanga kurya? Kuki umutima wawe ufite agahinda? Mbese njye si ndusha abahungu icumi kuri wowe?”

⁹Bamaze kurya no kunywa i Shilo, Hana arahaguruka. Eli umutambyi yari yicaye ku ntebe iri hafi y'ikizingiti cy'urugi rw'urusengero rwa Data wa twese. ¹⁰Afite agahinda kenshi, asenga Data wa twese ararira cyane. ¹¹Arahira ati: “Data wa twese Nyiringabo, nuramuka ubonye imibabaro y'umugaragukazi wawe, ukanzirikana, ntiwibagirwe umugaragukazi wawe, ukampa umuhungu, nzamuha Data wa twese iminsi yose yo kubaho kwe, kandi nta rwogosho ruzakora ku mutwe we.” ^a a v11 Kutogosha umusatsi w'umwana byari ikimenyetso kigaragara cy'umuhigo w'umunaziri — ni ukwiyegurira Imana ubuzima bwose (reba Kubara 6).

¹²Uko yakomezaga gusenga imbere ya Data wa twese, Eli yitegereza umunwa we. ¹³Hana yasengaga mu mutima we; iminwa ye yanyeganyegaga ariko ijwi ntiryumvikana. Ni yo mpamvu Eli yibwiraga ko yasinze. ¹⁴Aramubwira ati: “Uzakomeza gusinda kugeza ryari? Jya kure ya divayi yawe.”

¹⁵Hana aramusubiza ati: “Oya, Databuja. Ndi umugore ufite agahinda kenshi mu mutima. Sinanyoye divayi cyangwa ikindi kinyobwa gikomeye, ahubwo nasutse umutima wanjye imbere ya Data wa twese. ¹⁶Ntugire umugaragukazi wawe nk'umugore w'umupfayongo; nasengaga hano mvuye mu mibabaro myinshi n'agahinda kanjye.”

¹⁷Eli aramusubiza ati: “Genda amahoro, kandi Data wa Isiraheli aguhe icyo wasabye.”

¹⁸Aravuga ati: “Umugaragukazi wawe agirirwe neza mu maso yawe.” Nuko uwo mugore aragenda ararya, mu maso he ntihongera kubabara.

¹⁹Mu gitondo kare barabyuka, baramya imbere ya Data wa twese, basubira iwabo i Rama. Elikana aryamana na Hana umugore we, kandi Data wa twese aramwibuka.

²⁰Mu gihe gikwiriye Hana asama inda abyara umuhungu. Amwita Samweli, avuga ati: “Kuko namusabye Data wa twese.” ^b b v20 Izina Samweli risa n'ururimi rw'Igiheburayo rivuga “yasabwe Imana” — Hana yamwitiriye uwo muhungu nyine yari yasabye Data wa twese.

²¹Igihe Elikana n'abo mu rugo rwe bose bazamuka bajya gutamba igitambo cya buri mwaka Data wa twese no guhigura umuhigo we, ²²Hana ntiyagiye. Abwira umugabo we ati: “Umwana nacuka, nzamugeza imbere ya Data wa twese ngo agaragare, agume yo iteka ryose.”

²³Umugabo we Elikana aravuga ati: “Kora icyo usanga gikubereye. Guma aho kugeza umaze kumucutsa; Data wa twese asohoze gusa ijambo rye.” Nuko Hana aguma yonsa umuhungu we kugeza amaze kumucutsa.

²⁴Amaze kumucutsa, azamukana n'umwana, afite ikimasa cy'imyaka itatu, hafi ibiro cumi n'umunani by'ifu, n'icupa rya divayi, amujyana mu nzu ya Data wa twese i Shilo; kandi umwana yari muto. ²⁵Babaga ikimasa, maze bazanira umwana Eli. ²⁶Hana aravuga ati: “Yemwe Databuja, nk'uko uriho koko, Databuja, ndi wa mugore wari uhagaze hano iruhande rwawe, nsengera Data wa twese. ²⁷Nasabiraga uyu mwana, kandi Data wa twese yampaye icyo namusabye. ²⁸Ni yo mpamvu ndamuha Data wa twese. Ubuzima bwe bwose yeguriwe we.” Nuko aramya Data wa twese aho.
