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.”
19 USamuweli wakhula; uJehova wayenaye; akawisanga phansi nelilodwa lamazwi akhe.
20 Wonke u-Israyeli kusukela kwaDani kuze kube seBeri Sheba wazi ukuthi uSamuweli uqinisiwe ukuba abe ngumprofethi kaJehova.
