Ukubizwa KukaSamuweli 1 Samuweli 3 1 Umntwana uSamuweli wayekhonza uJehova phambi kuka-Eli. Izwi likaJehova laliyigugu ngalezo zinsuku; kwakungekho mbono ovulekile. 2 Kwathi ngaleso sikhathi, u-Eli elele endaweni yakhe, amehlo akhe eqala ukufiphala, waze wangabe esabona; 3 Isibani sikaNkulunkulu sasingakacimi ethempelini likaJehova, lapho kwakukhona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, noSamuweli elele phansi; 4 uJehova wambiza uSamuweli; wathi: “Ngilapha.” 5 Wagijimela ku-Eli, wathi: “Ngilapha, ngokuba ungibizile.” Wathi: “Angikubizanga; buya ulale.” Wahamba, walala. 6 UJehova waphinda wambiza uSamuweli. USamuweli wavuka, waya ku-Eli, wathi: “Ngilapha, ngokuba ungibizile.” Wathi: “Angikubizanga, ndodana yami; buya ulale.” 7 USamuweli wayengakamazi uJehova, nezwi likaJehova lalingakambulelwa kuye. 8 UJehova wambiza uSamuweli okwesithathu, wavuka waya ku-Eli, wathi: “Ngilapha, ngokuba ungibizile.” U-Eli waqonda ukuthi uJehova umbizile umntwana. 9 U-Eli wathi kuSamuweli: “Hamba ulale; kuyakuthi uma ekubiza, uthi: ‘Khuluma, Jehova,’ ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa.” USamuweli wahamba, walala endaweni yakhe. 10 UJehova wafika, wema, wabiza njengakwezinye izikhathi wathi: “Samuweli, Samuweli!” USamuweli waphendula wathi: “Khuluma, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa.” 11 UJehova wathi kuSamuweli: “Bheka, ngiyakwenza into kwa-Israyeli eziyakunkeneneza ngayo izindlebe zombili zabo bonke abayizwayo.” 12 Ngalolo suku ngiyakumenza u-Eli konke engikukhulumile ngendlu yakhe: ngiyakuqala, ngiyakuqeda. 13 Ngokuba ngimtshelile ukuthi ngiyakwahlulela indlu yakhe kuze kube phakade ngenxa yobubi abaziyo, ngokuba amadodana akhe azihlambalaza, akabavimbanga. 14 Ngakho-ke ngifungile ngendlu ka-Eli ukuthi ububi bendlu ka-Eli abuyikuhlanjululwa ngomhlatshelo nangomnikelo kuze kube phakade.

Amazwana Ukubizwa komntwana uSamuweli ku- 1 Samuweli Isahluko 3 kungenye yezindaba ezithambile neziguqula kakhulu eBhayibhelini. Kuphawula ukuguquka kobuholi obungokomoya kwa-Israyeli kusukela endlini ka-Eli eyayihluleka ukuya kumprofethi omusha othembekile owayezohola isizwe enkathini yaso ebalulekile yobukhosi.
Ukuhlukaniswa Kwevesi Ngevesi Kwesahluko 3 Soku-1 Samuweli Ukubeka Isimo: Ubumnyama Obungokomoya kanye Nenkonzo Ethembekile (Amavesi 1-3) Ivesi 1: "Umntwana uSamuweli wayekhonza uJehova phambi kuka-Eli.

Incazelo: Ngemva kwemizamo emithathu, ukuqonda kuka-Eli okungokomoya kuyavuka ekugcineni. Naphezu kokushiyeka kwakhe, u-Eli usebenza njengomeluleki ohlakaniphile ongokomoya, efundisa uSamuweli ukuthi angazibeka kanjani ukuze alalele uNkulunkulu. Isigijimi Saphezulu Sokwahlulela (Amavesi 10-14) Ivesi 10: "UJehova wafika, wema, wabiza njengakuqala wathi: Samuweli, Samuweli." USamuweli waphendula wathi: "Khuluma, ngokuba inceku yakho iyezwa."

Incazelo: Kusukela komunye umkhawulo wesizwe kuya komunye, u-Israyeli uyaqaphela ubizo lukaSamuweli oluvela kuNkulunkulu, futhi ukuvuselelwa ngokomoya kuqala eShilo njengoba izwi likaNkulunkulu liphindela ekuveleleni okusebenzayo.
Izifundo Eziyinhloko kanye Nezicelo Zokuphila 1. UNkulunkulu Ukhuluma Nabavamile Nabangalindelekile Ukusebenza: UNkulunkulu wakhetha umfana omncane olele emthunzini weTabernakele kunompristi omkhulu ukuba anikeze izwi Lakhe elilandelayo elibalulekile. UNkulunkulu akabheki isimo, ubudala, noma i-resume; ubheka inhliziyo ekhona futhi etholakalayo. 2. Ukubaluleka Kokuqeqeshwa Okungokomoya Ukusebenza: USamuweli wayengenakukwazi ukuhumusha izwi likaNkulunkulu eyedwa; wayedinga isiqondiso sika-Eli esinolwazi ukuze aqaphele okwenzekayo. Ngisho nalapho abeluleki benephutha (njengoba u-Eli ayenjalo), uNkulunkulu uvame ukubasebenzisa ukuze asisize siqonde isiqondiso Sakhe ezimpilweni zethu. 3. Isimo Sokuzithoba Kwangempela ("Khuluma, Nkosi, ngoba inceku yakho iyezwa") Ukusebenza: USamuweli akacelanga mpikiswano noma imibandela yokuxoxisana; wanikeza ukutholakala ngokushesha. Ukulalela okungokomoya kweqiniso kudinga ukuthi sithule izinhlelo zethu futhi sizibeke njengezinceku ezilungele ukulalela noma yini uNkulunkulu ayicelayo. 4. Isibindi Nobuqotho Emaqinisweni Aqinile Ukusebenza: Akulula neze ukuletha izindaba ezinzima kumuntu esimhloniphayo noma esimthandayo. Ukukhetha kukaSamuweli ukutshela u-Eli “konke” ngaphandle kokufaka ushukela kusifundisa ukubaluleka kokwethembeka, ukwethembeka, kanye nobuqotho, ngisho noma umyalezo ungakhululekile. 5. Izwi LikaNkulunkulu Alisoze Lahluleka Ukusebenza: Umbhalo uphawula ukuthi uNkulunkulu “akavumelanga nelilodwa lamazwi akhe ukuba liwele phansi.” Lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma noma ethembisa okuthile, kunamandla nokusekelwa okufanele kugcwaliseke. Singaqinisa ukwethemba kwethu ekuthembekeni kwezwi Lakhe namuhla.
