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.
Some time later when the wheat was being harvested, Samson went to pay his wife a visit, taking with him a young goat as a present. “I want to go to my wife in her bedroom,” he said when he arrived, but her father would not let him go in.
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 you must totally hate her, so I gave her to your best man,” he told Samson. “But her younger sister is even more attractive—why don't you marry her instead?”
3 Be Sa: masane da ougili amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da wali Filisidini dunuma mae dawa: le gasa bagade hamomu.”
“This time I can't be blamed for the trouble I'm going to cause the Philistines,” Samson declared.
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.
He went and caught three hundred foxes and tied their tails together, two by two.
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.
He attached a torch to each of the tied tails and set them on fire. Then he let them loose in the grain fields of the Philistines, setting fire to all the grain, harvested and unharvested, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
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.
“Who did this?” the Philistines asked. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the man from Timnah,” they were told. “That man gave Samson's wife to Samson's best man.” So the Philistines went and burned her and her father to death.
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.”
Samson told them, “If this is the way you're going to act, then I won't stop until I take my revenge on you!”
8 E da ilima doagala: le, bagohame medole legei. Amalalu, e da asili, magufu gelabo Ida: me gafulu ganodini galu, amo ganodini esalu.
He attacked them violently, killing them, and then left to go and live in a cave at the rock of Etam.
9 Filisidini dunu da misini, ilia hawa: i fisu Yuda soge ganodini gaguli esalu. Amalalu, ilia da Lihi sogega doagala: i.
So the Philistine army came and camped in Judah, drawn up for battle near Lehi.
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.”
The people of Judah asked, “Why have you invaded us?” “We've come to capture Samson, to do to him what he's done to us!” they replied.
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.”
Three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam and asked Samson, “Don't you understand that the Philistines rule over us? What do you think you're doing to us?” “I only did what they did to me,” he replied.
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.”
“Well, we've come to take you prisoner and hand you over to the Philistines,” they told him. “Just swear to me that you're not going to kill me yourselves,” Samson answered.
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.
“No, we won't,” they assured him. “We'll only tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines. We certainly aren't going to kill you!” They tied him using two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
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.
When Samson got close to Lehi, the Philistines ran towards him, shouting at him. But the Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and the ropes tying his arms together became as weak as burnt flax, and his hands broke free.
15 Amalalu, e da dougi ayawane bogoi, ea magado gasa ba: i. E da amo gaguia gadole, amoga dunu 1,000 medole legei.
He grabbed the fresh jawbone of a donkey, using it to kill a thousand Philistines.
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.”
Then Samson declared, “With a donkey's jawbone I have piled the dead into heaps. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed 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.
After Samson had finished his speech, he threw away the jawbone, and he named the place Hill 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: ?”
He was now extremely thirsty, and he Samson called out to the Lord, saying, “You have achieved this amazing victory through your servant, but now do I have to die of thirst and be captured by the heathen?”
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.
So God split open a rock seam in Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank and his strength returned—he felt much better. That's why he named it the Spring of the Caller, and it's still there in Lehi to this very day.
20 Filisidini dunu da Isala: ili soge ouligisu. Be ode 20 amoga, Isala: ili dunu da Sa: masane ema fa: no bobogei.
Samson led Israel as judge for twenty years during the time of the Philistines.
