Jehova Ukhuluma NaSamuweli

Eli umPhristi Lophakeme abenemadvodzana lamabili labekakhonta njengebaphristi ethendeni lekukhontela. Emabito awo bekuboHofni naFinehasi. Bebangawulaleli umtsetfo waJehova futsi bebabaphatsa kabi bantfu. Lapho ema-Israyeli atonikela kuJehova, boHofni naFinehasi bebatitsatsela inyama lencono ibe yabo. Eli weva ngaloko emadvodzana akhe lebekakwenta kepha akentanga lutfo ngako. Jehova abetakuvumela yini loko kutsi kuchubeke?

Nanobe Samuweli bekamncane kunaHofni naFinehasi, akazange asilingise sibonelo sabo lesibi. Jehova wajabula ngaSamuweli. Ngalobunye busuku Samuweli alele, weva livi limbita. Wavuka wagijimela ku-Eli, watsi: ‘Sengikhona ngobe ungibitile.’ Kepha Eli watsi: ‘Angikaze ngikubite. Hamba uyolala.’ Samuweli wabuyela wayolala. Waphindze waliva lelivi. Ngesikhatsi Samuweli eva lelivi kwesitsatfu, Eli wabona kutsi bekunguJehova lobekabita Samuweli. Eli watjela Samuweli kutsi nangabe aphindze aliva lelivi abotsi: ‘Khuluma Jehova, ngobe inceku yakho ilalele.’

Samuweli waphindze wayolala. Waphindze waliva lelivi litsi: ‘Samuweli, Samuweli!’ Waphendvula watsi: ‘Khuluma, ngobe inceku yakho ilalele.’ Jehova watsi kuye: ‘Ttjela Eli kutsi ngitawuletsa sehlulelo endlini yakhe ngenca yesono labekasolo asati ngobe emadvodzana akhe enta tintfo letimbi, kodvwa yena akawekhuti.’ Ngakusasa ekuseni, Samuweli wavula iminyango ethendeni lekukhontela njengobe nje abehlale enta. Bekesaba kutjela lomphristi lophakeme loko Jehova abekushito. Ngako Eli wambita futsi wambuta watsi: ‘Utsini umlayeto lakutjele wona? Ngicela ungangifihleli.’ Samuweli watjela Eli konkhe.

Njengobe Samuweli akhula, Jehova wachubeka waba naye. Eveni lonkhe, ema-Israyeli bekati kutsi Jehova abekhetse Samuweli kutsi abe ngumphrofethi nesikhulu.

“Ngako-ke, khumbula uMdali wakho Lomkhulu etinsukwini tebusha bakho.”​—Umshumayeli 12:1
