1 Samweli 2

Kupula kwa Hana

1 Abaho Hana kapula kalonga,

"Moyo wangu omwinula Mndewa Imulungu,

nihuma kubitila Mndewa Imulungu,

kwa mulomo wangu nowaseka iwanhu onihila,

kwavija noudeng’helela ukombola wako!"

2 "Kuduhu yang’alile kamba Mndewa Imulungu,

kuduhu yoyose kubanza heyo,

kuduhu dibwe kamba Imulungu wetu.

3 Lekeni kuitapa,

lekeni kulonga bezi.

Kwavija Mndewa Imulungu ayo Imulungu yojuwa gose,

kubitila heyo gose gotendwa gopimigwa.

4 Mhinde za waja weli na nguvu zibeneka.

Lakini waja welibule nguvu ogendelela kupata nguvu.

5 Waja umwaka wakalile na ndiya nyingi,

sambi otumigwa ili wapate ndiya,

lakini waja wakalile na nzala,

sambi wabule nzala.

Mtwanzi mgumba kalela wana saba.

Lakini mtwanzi yeli na wana wengi,

sambi kalekigwa bila mwana.

6 Mndewa Imulungu kokoma na kozilibula,

heyo kogala kuzimu,

na kobweza kabili.

7 Mndewa Imulungu kowatenda wayagwe wawe wakiwa,

na wayagwe wawe wagoli.

Kowabwanha hasi na kowenula uchanha.

8 Kowenula wakiwa kulawa mditimbwisi,

na kowenula welibule kinhu kulawa kudilundo da mitozi,

na kowatenda wakale na iwakulu,

na wahazi ivigoda va ukulu.

Kwavija mhanda za isi yose za Mndewa Imulungu,

uchanha yake keka isi yose."

9 "Heyo kogakaliza magulu ga awo omtamanila,

lakini iwanhu wehile okanhigwa mdiziza,

kwavija munhu hadaha kuhuma kwa nguvu zake.

10 Wanhu omwihila Mndewa Imulungu obenigwa vihande vihande,

kotowa ng’huwa kumwao kulawa kuulanga.

Mndewa Imulungu koitagusa isi yose,

komgwaa nguvu mndewa wake,

koukweza udahi wa ayo iyamsagule."
