11 Yeke wafunga wathi: “Maye! Jehova wamabutho. Nange ungaqala ukuhlunguphazeka kwencekukazakho, ungikhumbule begodu ungayikhohlwa incekukazakho bewuyiphe umntwana womsana,+ ngizomupha uJehova ukuphila kwakhe koke begodu iinhluthu zakhe angeze zigudwe.”+

3 Njengombana isikhathi sikhamba, umsanyana onguSamyela bekasebenzela uJehova+ phambi kwaka-Eli kodwana ilizwi lakaJehova belingakavami emihleni leyo; imibono+ beyingakandi.

15 USamyela walala bekwasa; ngemva kwalokho, wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova. USamyela bekasaba ukutjela u-Eli ukuthi uZimu utheni.
