Bisisu 15
1 Fa: no agoane widi faimu esoga, Sa: masane da ea uda ba: la asi. E da goudi mano ema imunusa: gaguli asi. E da amo uda ea ada ema amane sia: i, “Na da na uda ea diasuga golili sa: imu.” Be eda da mae masa: ne sia: i.
And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
2 E da Sa: masane ema amane sia: i, “Na da dia nadiwi dafawane higa: i amo dawa: iou. Amaiba: le, na da e amo dia dogolegei ema i dagoi. Be di da ea eya a: fini noga: idafa lamu da defea.”
I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
3 Be Sa: masane da ougili amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da wali Filisidini dunuma mae dawa: le gasa bagade hamomu.”
And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
4 Amaiba: le, e da asili, fogisi 300 agoane gagadole lai. E da fogisi aduna aduna la: goga gilisili la: gili, ilia la: gisu bagele amoga hanu bagesi.
And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
5 Amalalu, e da hanu ulagisili, fogisi da Filisidini ilia gagoma ifabi amoga masa: ne asunasisiagai. E da amo hou hamobeba: le, Filisidini dunu ilia gagoma hame fai dialu, amola olife ifa huluane laluga nene dagoi ba: i.
And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.
6 Filisidini dunu ilia da amo hou nowa da hamobela: adole ba: loba, ilia da Sa: masane da hamoi sia: i nabi. Bai Dimina dunu amo esoa: da ea udalai amo samogene, ea dogolegei ema i dagoiba: le. Amalalu, Filisidini dunu da amo uda lale, medole laluga gobesi. Amola ilia da ea ada diasu laluga ulagili sali.
Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.
7 Sa: masane da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da hou agoane hamonanebeba: le, na da Gode ba: ma: ne dafawane sia: sa. Na da mae fisidigili, dilima dabe imunu.”
But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
8 E da ilima doagala: le, bagohame medole legei. Amalalu, e da asili, magufu gelabo Ida: me gafulu ganodini galu, amo ganodini esalu.
And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam.
9 Filisidini dunu da misini, ilia hawa: i fisu Yuda soge ganodini gaguli esalu. Amalalu, ilia da Lihi sogega doagala: i.
Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
10 Yuda dunu da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da abuliba: le ninima doagala: sala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da Sa: masane amo afugili lale, ea hou ninima hamoi amo defele, ema agoane hamomusa: misi dagoi.”
And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us.
11 Amaiba: le, Yuda dunu 3,000 da Ida: me gafulu ganodini magufu gelabo amoga asili, Sa: masane ema amane sia: i, “Filisidini dunu da ninia ouligisu dunu. Amo di da hame dawa: bela: ? Di da abuliba: le amo hou ninima hamobela: ?” Sa: masane da bu adole i, “Na da ilia hamoi amo dabe fawane bu dabe ga: i.”
Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 Ilia da amane sia: i, “Ninia da di afugili la: gili ilima ima: ne misi dagoi.” Sa: masane da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilisu da na hame medole legemu, amo nama dafawane sia: ma.”
And they said to him, We are come to bind thee and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me, that you will not kill me.
13 Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Ninia da di la: gili ilima imunu amo fawane. Be ninia da di hame medole legemu.” Amaiba: le, ilia da Sa: masane efe gaheabolo aduna amoga la: gili, magufu gelabo fisili, Lihi moilaiga oule asi.
They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.
14 E da Lihi sogega doaga: musa: , logoba: le ahoanu, Filisidini da e gagumusa: bululusa doagala: i. E da hedolowane, Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade lai dagoi. Gasa bagade efe ea lobo la: gisu amo e da dadamunisi. La: gisu da gobia ha: i amo laluga nei dagoi agoane ba: i.
Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.
15 Amalalu, e da dougi ayawane bogoi, ea magado gasa ba: i. E da amo gaguia gadole, amoga dunu 1,000 medole legei.
And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
16 Amaiba: le, Sa: masane da amane gesami hea: i, “Na da dougi ea magado gasa amoga dunu 1,000 medole legei. Dougi ea magado gasa amoga na da dunu bagohame medole, ili bogoi da: i hodo amoga gagadole bi baheda: i bagohame hamosu.”
And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men.
17 Amalalu, e da dougi magado gasa ha: digi dagoi. Ilia da amo hou doaga: i sogebi amoma Lamade Lihi dio asuli.
And when he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.
18 Amalalu, Sa: masane da hano bagade hanai ba: i. E da Hina Godema amane wele sia: su, “Di da fidibiba: le, na da baligiliwane hasalasi. Be wali na da hano hanaiba: le bogomu galebe, amola hame lalegagui Filisidini dunu ilia da na gagulaligimu amo da defeala: ?”
Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.
19 Amalalu, Gode da Lihi sogega hano osobo hagudu dialu amo doasili, hano da heda: lebe ba: i. Sa: masane da amo hano nanu, bu uhibi ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da amo hano amoma Hagole (bai da ‘wele sia: su’) dio asuli. Amo hano da wali Lihi sogega diala.
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day.
20 Filisidini dunu da Isala: ili soge ouligisu. Be ode 20 amoga, Isala: ili dunu da Sa: masane ema fa: no bobogei.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
