1 ¹Akhalipo mamuna m'bodzi wa ku Ramataimu-zofimu, wa ku mapiri a Efraimu, dzina yace Elikana mwana wa Yerohamu, mwana wa Elihu, mwana wa Tohu, mwana wa Zufu, Mwefraimu. ²Iye akhali na akazi awiri, Ana na Penina. Penina akhali na ana, mbwenye Ana nkhabe ana. ³Caka na caka iye akhakwira kubuluka ku nzinda wace toera kulambira na kupereka ntsembe kuna Baba wa nkhondo za kudzulu ku Silo, kunakhala ana awiri a Eli, Hofini na Finease, akhali anyantsembe a Baba wathu. ⁴Elikana pidapereka iye ntsembe, apereka khundu kuna nkazi wace Penina na kuna ana ace onsene a amuna na a akazi. ⁵Mbwenye kuna Ana apereka khundu zuwiri, thangwi akhanfuna, ngakhale Baba wathu akhadafunga mimba yace. ⁶Thangwi Baba wathu akhadafunga mimba yace, nkazi ndzace akhapitiriza kunsingirira mwakuwawa toera kuncitisa kutsukwala. ⁷Caka na caka, Ana angakwira ku nyumba ya Baba wathu, Penina akhansingirira, natenepo iye akhalira mbakhonda kudya. ⁸Mamuna wace Elikana ambvundza tenepa: “Ana, usaliriranji? Thangwi yanji nkhabe kudya? Thangwi yanji ntima wako watsukwala? Kodi Ine nkhabe kuposa ana khumi kuna iwe?”

⁹Pakumala kudya na kumwa ku Silo, Ana alamuka. Eli nyantsembe akhadakhala pa mpando pa nkhomo wa templo ya Baba wathu. ¹⁰Mu kutsukwala kukulu, iye aphembera kuna Baba wathu mbalira mwakuwawa. ¹¹Iye apikira tenepa: “Baba wa nkhondo za kudzulu, mungaona nyatwa ya ntumiki wanu, mbamundikumbuka, mbamukhonda kuduwala ntumiki wanu, mbamumpasa mwana wa mamuna, Ine ndinampereka kuna Baba wathu mu umaso wace onsene, pontho nkhabe cisekera cinakhuya nsolo wace.” ^a a v11 Kukhonda kusengesa tsisi za mwana ikhali cidzindikiro cakunja ca cipikiro ca Unaziri — kuperekeka kwa umaso onsene kuna Mulungu (ona Numeri 6).

¹²Mukhapitiriza iye kuphembera pamaso pa Baba wathu, Eli akhayang'anisa mulomo wace. ¹³Ana akhaphembera muntima mwace; milomo yace ikhafamba mbwenye fala yace nkhabe kubveka. Natenepo Eli anyerezera kuti iye akhadaledzera. ¹⁴Iye ampanga tenepa: “Unakhala wakuledzera mpaka lini? Buluska vinyu yako.”

¹⁵Ana atawira tenepa: “Nkhabe, mbuya wanga. Ine ndine nkazi wakutsukwala kakamwe muntima. Nee ndamwa vinyu peno cakumwa cakuwanga, mbwenye ndabulusa moyo wanga pamaso pa Baba wathu. ¹⁶Leka kuona ntumiki wako ninga nkazi wakusowa basa; ndaphembera pano thangwi ya nyatwa na kutsukwala kwanga kukulu.”

¹⁷Eli atawira tenepa: “Ndoko mu ntendere, Baba wa Izarayeli akupase pinaphemba iwe kuna Iye.”

¹⁸Iye alonga tenepa: “Ntumiki wako akhale wakutambira kukoma ntima pa maso pako.” Natenepo nkazi aenda njira yace mbadya, nkhope yace nee ikhatsukwala pontho.

¹⁹Macibese mwanakucha iwo alamuka, mbalambira pamaso pa Baba wathu, mbabwerera kunyumba kwawo ku Rama. Elikana agona na Ana nkazi wace, na Baba wathu ankumbuka.

²⁰Mukupita kwa ndzidzi Ana akhala na mimba mbabala mwana wa mamuna. Ancemera dzina Samueli, mbalonga tenepa: “Thangwi ndamphemba kuna Baba wathu.” ^b b v20 Dzina Samueli isabveka ninga Cihebheri ca “wakuphembwa kuna Mulungu” — Ana ancemera tenepa thangwi ya mwana ule adaphemba iye kuna Baba wathu.

²¹Elikana pidakwira iye pabodzi na banja yace yonsene toera kupereka ntsembe ya caka na caka kuna Baba wathu na kukwanirisa cipikiro cace, ²²Ana nee aenda. Apanga mamuna wace tenepa: “Mwana angamala kuleka mabele, ndinandibweresa toera kuonekera pamaso pa Baba wathu, mbakhala kweneko kwenda na kwenda.”

²³Mamuna wace Elikana alonga tenepa: “Cita pinakuoneka kuti ndi pyadidi kuna iwe. Khala mpaka unankundusa; basi ene Baba wathu akwanirise fala yace.” Natenepo Ana akhala mbayamwisa mwana wace mpaka ankundusa.

²⁴Pakumala kunkundusa, iye akwira na mwana pabodzi, na ng'ombe ya piaka pitatu, na pafupi na mapawundi makumawiri na maxanu a ufa, na nkhali ya vinyu, mbambweresa ku nyumba ya Baba wathu ku Silo; mwana akhali mng'ono. ²⁵Iwo apha ng'ombe mbabweresa mwana kuna Eli. ²⁶Ana alonga tenepa: “A mbuya wanga, ninga iwe uli maso, mbuya wanga, ine ndine nkazi ule akhaima pano pakhundu pako, mbaphembera kuna Baba wathu. ²⁷Ndaphembera mwana uyu, na Baba wathu andipasa pinaphemba Ine kuna Iye. ²⁸Natenepo ndinampereka kuna Baba wathu. Mu umaso wace onsene iye ndi wakuperekwa kuna Iye.” Na iye alambira Baba wathu kweneko.
