12 Ngalolo suku ngiyakumehlisela u-Eli konke engikukhulumile ngendlu yakhe, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni.
13 Ngokuba ngimtshelile ukuthi ngiyakwahlulela indlu yakhe kuze kube phakade ngobubi abaziyo, lokhu amadodana akhe ayezehlisela isiqalekiso, engawakhuzanga.
14 Ngalokho ngifungile ngendlu ka-Eli ukuthi ububi bendlu ka-Eli abuyikuhlangulwa ngomhlatshelo nangomnikelo kuze kube phakade.”
15 USamuweli walala kwaze kwasa, wavula iminyango yendlu kaJehova. USamuweli wesaba ukumtshela u-Eli umbono.
16 U-Eli wayesembiza uSamuweli, wathi: “Samuweli, ndodana yami!”Wathi: “Ngilapha.”
17 Wathi: “Yintoni owayikhulumayo kuwe na? Ake ungayifihli kimi; uNkulunkulu makenze njalo kuwe, enezele futhi, uma ungifihlela izwi elilodwa lakho konke lokho owakukhuluma kuwe.”
18 USamuweli wayesemtshela konke, akamfihlelanga lutho. Wathi: “NguJehova; makenze okuhle emehlweni akhe.”
