Zadza runyanga rwako namafuta; enda, ndiri kukutuma kuna Jese weBheterehema—ndazvisarudzira mambo pakati pavanakomana vake.” ^a a v1 Runyanga rwamafuta ihombodo yakagadzirwa kubva parunyanga rwemhuka, inoshandiswa kutakura mafuta okuzodza.

²Samueri akati, “Ndingaenda sei? Kana Sauro akazvinzwa, achandiuraya.” Baba vedu vakati, “Tora tsiru uende naro, ugoti, ‘Ndauya kuzobayira kuna Baba.’

³Udane Jese kuchibayiro; ndichakuratidza zvaunofanira kuita. Unondizodzera uyo wandichakureva kwauri.”

⁵“Norugare,” akadaro. “Ndauya kuzobayira kuna Baba vedu. Zvinatsei mugouya neni kuchibayiro.” Ipapo akatsaura Jese navanakomana vake, akavadana kuchibayiro. ⁶Pavakasvika, Samueri akaona Eriabhu, akafunga kuti, “Zvirokwazvo uyu ndiye muzodziwa waBaba vedu!”

⁷Asi Baba vedu vakati kuna Samueri, “Usatarisa chimiro chake kana kureba kwake; ndamuramba. Vanhu havaoni sezvandinoita ini—ivo vanotarisa zviri kunze, asi ini, Baba vako, ndinotarisa pamwoyo.”

⁸Ipapo Jese akadana Abhinadhabhu, akamupfuudza pamberi paSamueri. Asi Samueri akati, “Baba vedu havana kusarudza uyuwo.” ⁹Jese akazoita kuti Shama auye mberi.

Hatizogari pasi kusvikira asvika.”

¹²Jese akatuma munhu, akamuunza—aiva akatsvuka zvakanaka, ane meso akanaka uye akanaka pachiso. Ipapo Baba vedu vakati, “Simuka, umuzodze; ndiye uyu.”

¹³Samueri akatora runyanga rwamafuta, akamuzodza pakati pavakoma vake, uye kubvira pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi Mweya waBaba vedu wakauya nesimba pana Dhavhidhi. Ipapo Samueri akaenda kuRama.
