Mga Maghuhukom 15
1 Human sa pipila ka mga adlaw, sa panahon sa pag-ani ug trigo, nagdala si Samson ug nating kanding ug miadto aron pagbisita sa iyang asawa. Miingon siya sa iyang kaugalingon, “Mosulod ako sa lawak sa akong asawa.” Apan wala siya gitugotan sa iyang ugangang lalaki nga mosulod.
Then, after some time, when the days of the wheat harvest were near, Samson arrived, intending to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid from the goats. And when he wanted to enter her bedroom, as usual, her father prohibited him, saying:
2 Miingon ang iyang ugangang lalaki, “Abi nako ug gikasilagan mo na siya, busa gihatag ko siya sa imong higala. Ang iyang manghod nga babaye mas maanyag kaysa kaniya, dili ba? Siya nalang ang dad-a.”
“I thought that you would hate her, and therefore I gave her to your friend. But she has a sister, who is younger and more beautiful than she is. And she may be a wife for you, instead of her.”
3 Miingon si Samson kanila, “Karon wala akoy labot sa mga Filistihanon kung mapasakitan ko sila.”
And Samson answered him: “From this day, there shall be no guilt for me against the Philistines. For I will do harm to you all.”
4 Milakaw si Samson ug nagdakop ug 300 ka mga milo ug gihiktan niya kini parisparis, ikog sa ikog. Ug mikuha siyag mga sulo ug gihikot niya kini sa tunga sa gipangparis nga mga ikog.
And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
5 Sa dihang nasindihan na niya ang mga sulo, iyang gibuhian ang mga milo didto sa trigohan sa mga Filistihanon, ug ilang gipangsunog ang gipangtapok nga mga trigo ug ang mga trigo nga nagtindog pa sa kaumahan, apil pa ang kaparasan ug ang mga tanaman sa olibo.
And setting these on fire, he released them, so that they might rush from place to place. And immediately they went into the grain fields of the Philistines, setting these on fire, both the grain that was already bound for carrying, and what was still standing on the stalk. These were completely burned up, so much so that the flame also consumed even the vineyards and the olive groves.
6 Nangutana ang mga Filistihanon, “Kinsa man ang nagbuhat niini?” Giingnan sila, “Si Samson, ang umagad nga lalaki sa Timnahanon ang nagbuhat niini, tungod kay gidala ug gihatag sa Timnahanon ang asawa ni Samson sa iyang higala.” Unya miadto ang mga Filistihanon ug gisunog nila ang babaye lakip na ang iyang amahan.
And the Philistines said, “Who has done this thing?” And it was said: “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another. He has done these things.” And the Philistines went up and burned the woman as well as her father.
7 Miingon si Samson kanila, “Kay mao man kini ang inyong gibuhat, manimalos ako kaninyo, ug kung mahuman na kana, moundang na ako.”
And Samson said to them, “Even though you have done this, I will still fulfill vengeance against you, and then I will be quieted.”
8 Busa gihiwahiwa niya sila, dapidapi ug paa, uban sa dakong pagpamatay. Unya milugsong siya ug mipuyo didto sa langob sa pangpang sa Etam.
And he struck them with a tremendous slaughter, so much so that, out of astonishment, they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And descending, he lived in a cave of the rock at Etam.
9 Unya mitungas ang mga Filistihanon ug nangandam aron sa pagpakiggubat sa Juda ug giandam nila ang ilang mga sundalo sa Lehi.
And so the Philistines, ascending into the land of Judah, made camp at the place which was later called Lehi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army spread out.
10 Miingon ang mga kalalakin-an sa Juda, “Nganong mitungas man kamo aron sa pag-sulong kanamo?” Miingon sila, “Mosulong kami aron among dakpon si Samson, ug among buhaton kaniya kung unsa ang iyang gibuhat kanamo.”
And some from the tribe of Judah said to them, “Why have you ascended against us?” And they responded, “We have come to bind Samson, and to repay him for what he has done to us.”
11 Unya ang 3, 000 ka mga kalalakin-an nga taga Juda milugsong sa langob didto sa pangpang sa Etam, ug giingnan nila si Samson, “Wala ka ba masayod nga ang Filistihanon maoy nagdumala kanato? Unsa man kining imong gibuhat kanamo?” Mitubag si Samson kanila, “Gibuhat nila kini kanako, busa buhaton ko usab kini kanila.”
Then three thousand men of Judah descended to the cave of the rock at Etam. And they said to Samson: “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? Why would you want to do this?” And he said to them, “As they have done to me, so I have done to them.”
12 Giingnan nila si Samson, “Mianhi kami aron hiktan ka ug itugyan ngadto sa kamot sa mga Filistihanon.” Miingon si Samson kanila, “Panaad kamo nga dili mismo kamo ang mopatay kanako.”
And they said to him, “We have come to bind you, and to deliver you into the hands of the Philistines.” And Samson said to them, “Swear and promise to me that you will not kill me.”
13 Miingon sila kaniya, “Dili, hiktan ka lamang namo ug pisi ug itugyan ngadto kanila. Manaad kami nga dili ka namo patyon.” Busa gihiktan nila siya pinaagi sa duha ka bag-ong pisi ug ilang gidala siya didto ibabaw sa bato.
They said: “We will not kill you. But we will deliver you tied.” And they bound him with two new cords. And they took him from the rock at Etam.
14 Sa dihang nakaabot na siya sa Lehi, naninggit ang mga Filistihanon samtang nagtagbo kaniya. Unya mikunsad ang Espiritu ni Yahweh ngadto kaniya uban ang gahom. Ang pisi nga anaa sa iyang mga bukton nahimong sama sa nasunog nga lino, ug nahulog kini gikan sa iyang mga kamot.
And when he had arrived at the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines, shouting aloud, had met him, the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him. And just as flax is usually consumed by a hint of fire, so were the ties with which he was bound broken and released.
15 Nakakita si Samson ug bag-o pa kaayo nga panga sa asno, ug iya kining gipunit ug pinaagi niini iyang gipamatay ang liboan ka mga kalalakin-an.
And finding a jawbone which was laying there, that is, the jawbone of a donkey, snatching it up, he put to death a thousand men with it.
16 Miingon si Samson, “Pinaagi sa panga sa asno, mga tinapok ibabaw sa mga tinapok, pinaagi sa panga sa asno nakapatay ako ug liboan ka mga kalalakin-an.”
And he said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, with the jaw of the colt of a donkey, I have destroyed them, and I have struck down a thousand men.”
17 Sa dihang nahuman na sa pagpakigsulti si Samson, iyang gilabay ang panga sa asno, ug iyang gitawag ang maong lugar nga Ramat Lehi.
And when he had completed these words, singing, he threw the jawbone from his hand. And called the name of that place Ramath-Lehi, which is translated as ‘the elevation of the jawbone.’
18 Giuhaw pag-ayo si Samson ug gitawag niya si Yahweh ug miingon, “Imong gihatag ang dakong kadaogan sa imong sulugoon. Apan karon mamatay ba ako tungod sa kauhaw ug malaglag gikan sa kamot sa mga tawong dili tinuli?”
And being very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord, and he said: “You have given, to the hand of your servant, this very great salvation and victory. But see that I am dying of thirst, and so I will fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.”
19 Ug gipaliki sa Dios ang ilalom sa yuta nga anaa sa Lehi, ug migula ang tubig. Sa dihang nakainom na siya, mibalik ang iyang kusog ug nabaskog siya. Busa iyang ginganlan ang maong lugar ug En Hakore, ug hangtod karon anaa pa gihapon kini sa Lehi.
And so the Lord opened a large tooth in the jawbone of the donkey, and water went out from it. And having drank it, his spirit was revived, and he recovered his strength. For this reason, the name of that place was called ‘the Spring called forth from the jawbone,’ even to the present day.
20 Nahimong maghuhukom si Samson sa Israel sulod sa 20 ka tuig sa panahon nga gidumalahan sila sa mga Filistihanon.
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, for twenty years.
