Na Samuele baadi atungunuka na kukula kumpala kua Yehowa.

22 Mu kiakia kipungo Eli baadi mupue kununupa ngofu, kadi baadi mupushe mianda yoso ibaadi bana baye abakitshina bena Isalele boso, na bibaabadi abalaala bakashi babaadi abafubu ku kituelelo kia kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena. 23 Baadi nka ebalungula’shi: “Buakinyi anutungunuka na kukita mianda i bino? Muanda nkuete kupusha mianda i bubi ayakula bantu boso pabinutale. 24 Nya bana bande, mianda yankuete kupusha munkatshi mua muilo wa Yehowa tayi buwa. 25 Su muntu akitshina ungi muntu muluisho, ungi muntu mmulombene kumuakuila* kui Yehowa; kadi su muntu akitshina Yehowa muluisho, nnanyi mulombene kumutekiela?” Anka babapelele kuteemesha nshabo, muanda Yehowa baadi muate kitshibilo kia kuibayipaa. 26 Mu yaaya nsaa, Samuele baadi atungunuka na kukula na kukuminyibua kui Yehowa mpa na kui muilo.

27 Ungi muntu a Efile Mukulu bafikile kui Eli, amulungula’shi: “Yehowa akula’shi, ‘Ntshinadi muileshe patooka kui nshibo ya nshobe pabaabadi mu bupika mu Ejipitu mu nshibo ya Faraone su? 28 Namusanguile munkatshi mua bisamba bioso bia Isalele buadia kunfubila bu tshite muakuidi, buadia kutusha milambu ku kilambuilo kiande, bua kulambula kabanda, na kufuala efode kumpala kuande; na napeele nshibo ya nkambua oobe milambu yoso ishiikie mu kaalo ya bena Isalele. 29 Buakinyi anubepuula milambu yandi mutekie buabadia kutuusha mu nshibo yande? Buakinyi otungunuka na kupa bana bobe kinemo kunkila’mi, na buakinyi anuidiisha bipindi bikile buwa bia milambu yoso biabakuete kutusha kui muilo wande wa Isalele?

30 “‘Nyi buakinyi Yehowa Efile Mukulu a Isalele amba’shi: “Mbinyibinyi naadi muambe’shi ba mu nshibo yobe na ba mu nshibo ya nkambua oobe abakanfubila mafuku oso.” Kadi binobino Yehowa amba’shi: “Tabiakukitshika nya, muanda baba abannemeka nakebanemeka, kadi baba abambepuula nakebabepuula.” 31 Talanga! Kui mafuku aakafiki ankapeelesha bukome bobe na bukome bua ba mu nshibo ya nshobe, mu mushindo wa’shi takui muntu su ngumune a mu nshibo yobe akashala na muwa mpa na ku bununu. 32 Nakakitshina Isalele mianda yoso i buwa, anka obe okatala muishikuanyi mu nshibo yande, na t’akukekala dingi muntu mununu mu nshibo yobe. 33 Muntu a kuanudi anshankakatusha ku mudimo wa ku kilambuilo kiande akakitshi bia’shi meso oobe akookie na akakuinyongosha, anka bantu be bungi ba mu nshibo yobe abakepayibua ku lupete lua ngoshi. 34 Na akikafikila bana bobe balume babidi Ofeni na Finease akikekala bu kitunduilo kodi; boso babidi abakafu muifuku dimune. 35 Kunyima nakesanguila tshite muakuidi sha lulamato, akakitshi mianda muyile eshimba diande; na nakamuibakila nshibo ayishala bua loso, akatambukila kumpala kua muedibue muimu ande bua loso. 36 Muntu oso ashala mu nshibo yobe akafiki na amuinamine bua kupeta ekuta na bia kudia, na akamulungulashi: “Mpe namu umune wa ku midimo ya ba tshite muakuidi, bua’shi mpete kia kudia.”’”*
