Nivekelo na Aana

Nlopwana mmodha a wIsarayeeli aitthaniwa Elikaana ahaathela athiyana aili, mmodha aitthaniwa Aana nkina aitthaniwa Peniina, masi ampheta iye vawaatta ari Aana. Peniina ahikhalana anaamwane awaatta, masi Aana khaayara. Ndho mwaha wa elo, okathi wootheene Peniina aanintheya Aana mwaha wa ohiyara. Khuta mwaakha, Elikaana aanikusa emudhi-ye yootheene erowaka oSilo, weiwo yari awawo eTabernaakulu wiira yaankokhorele Yehova. Okathi omodha yaari awa oSilo, Elikaana ahimoona Aana ariipiwe nrima anlaka, ndho owo aahixanka ni aahirowa ommaaliha ni anleela wiira: ‘Miyo kinnoophetani.’

Aana anlaka dhiidhaale, noovira okathi vakhaani ahivenya arowa oTabernaakulu. Hata ahaawerya omaala mwaha wa nxankiho-ye, owo ahiilipihera onvekela Yehova wiira ankhalihere, Aana aahivekela airaka: ‘Yehova, akhala wiira nnookivaha mwaana, kinnoolaiherani wiira kinawoovahani mwaana owo wiira akoorumeelani oTabernaakulu ekumi-ye yootheene.’

Nkhuluupale aanankutho Eli khaadhuwenle wiira Aana aanvekela, owo uupuwela wiira aaruhapaliwa. Ndho Aana aahinleela Eli wiira: ‘Naari pwiyaka nkihapaliwe, miyo kinviriha nxankiho muulupale, tivondho kireenle onvekela Yehova.’ Eli ahoona wiira ahittheka, ndho aahinleela Aana wiira: Yehova ovaheni ele munvekenle nnyu.’ Mwaha wa moolumo ale a Eli, Aana ahirowa owaani ahakalanle. Noovira okathi vakhani, Aana aahinʼyara mwaana yoowo aitthaniwa Samuweeli. Moohaakanyera, Aana ahitteeliwa nrima vawaatta, Khannaamini?

Aana khaaliyanle etthu aanlaihenre iye Yehova. Noomala Samuweeli ohiya waamwa, Aana aahinroiha oTabernaakulu amunnya Eli ni ankoha wiira: ‘Munnuupuwela wiira kaataka onvekela etthu Yehova? Owo ohiiwa nivekelo naaka, ni okivaha mwaana ola, ndho kininhiya vaava wiira anrumeele Yehova ekumi-ye yootheene.’ Elikaana ni Aana khuta mwaakha yaanirowa oTabernaakulu onsekurya Samuweeli, yaarowaka yaanikusa malaya mapheya wiira yaanvahe. Nhoolo-mwa Yehova ahinvaha Aana anamwane 5, alopwana araaru ni athiyana aiili.
