Mga Maghuhukom 15
1 Apan nahatabo sa wala madugay, nga panahon sa pag-ani sa trigo, nga si Samson midu-aw sa iyang asawa, dinala ang usa ka nating kanding; ug siya miingon: Sudlon ko ang akong asawa sa lawak. Apan ang iyang amahan wala motugot kaniya sa pagpasulod.
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 Ug ang iyang amahan miingon: Ako sa pagkatinuod nagahunahuna nga ikaw nagadumot gayud kaniya; busa gihatag ko siya sa imong kauban: dili ba ang iyang manghud nga babaye labi pang maambong kay kaniya? Kuhaa siya, ako nagahangyo kanimo, iilis kaniya.
“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 Ug si Samson miingon kanila: Niining panahona ako walay sala sa mga Filistehanon, kong ako magahimo kanila ug dautan.
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 Ug si Samson milakaw ug midakup ug totolo ka gatus nga irong ihalas, ug mikuhag mga agipo ug gisumpot ang tagurha ka ikog ug gibutangn sa taliwala sa duruha ka ikog ug usa ka agipo.
And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
5 Ug sa diha nga gipasiga na niya ang agipo iyang gibuhian sila ngadto sa mga nanagtindog pa nga alanihon sa mga Pilistehanon, ug nasunog ang tinapok nga inani ug ang nagatindog nga anihon, ug lakip usab ang mga kaolivahan.
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 Unya ang mga Filistehanon ming-ingon: Kinsay naghimo niini? Ug sila miingon: Si Samson ang masamong sa taga-Timnah, tungod kay iyang gikuha ang iyang gihatag sa iyang kauban. Ug ang mga Filistehanon mingtungas, ug gisunog ang babaye, ug ang iyang amahan sa kalayo.
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 Ug si Samson miingon kanila: Kong kamo magabuhat niining paagiha, sa pagkatinuod ako magapanimalus kaninyo, ug sa tapus niana ako mohunong.
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 Ug iyang gisamaran sila sa hawak ug sa paa sa dakung kamatay: ug milugsong siya ug mipuyo sa liki 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 ang mga Filistehanon mingtungas ug nagpahaluna sa Juda ug nagbulagbulag sila 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 Ug ang mga tawo sa Juda ming-ingon: Nganong nanungas kamo batok kanamo? Ug sila ming-ingon: Aron sa paggapus kang Samson kami ming-anhi, sa pagbuhat kaniya sumala sa 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 totolo ka libo ka tawo sa Juda minglugsong ngadto sa liki sa pangpang sa bato sa Etam, ug ming-ingon kang Samson: wala ka ba mahibalo nga ang mga Filistehanon maoy mga magbubuot sa ibabaw nato? Unsa man kining imong gibuhat kanamo? Ug siya miingon kanila: Sumala sa ilang gibuhat kanako, mao usab ang akong gibuhat 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 Ug sila ming-ingon kaniya: Kami mianhi sa paggapus kanimo aron ikatugyan ikaw namo sa kamot sa mga Filistehanon. Ug si Samson miingon kanila Panumpa kanako nga kamo sa inyong kaugalingon dili magpatay 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 Ug sila namulong kaniya nga nagaingon: Dili; apan gapuson ka gayud namo, ug itugyan ka ngadto sa ilang kamot: apan sa pagkatinuod dili ikaw namo patyon. Ug ilang gigapus siya sa duha ka bag-ong pisi ug gidala siya gikan sa pangpang.
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 paghiadto niya sa Lehi, ang mga Filistehanon naninggit sa pagsugat kaniya: ug ang Espiritu ni Jehova mikunsad sa makusganon kaniya, ug ang mga gapus nga diha sa iyang bukton nahimo nga ingon sa lino nga nasunog sa kalayo, ug ang iyang mga bugkos nangahulog 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 Ug siya nakakita ug usa ka bag-ong bukog sa apapangig sa asno, ug gituy-od niya ang iyang kamot ug gikuha kini ug gipatay ang usa ka libo ka tawo pinaagi niini.
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 Ug si Samson miingon: Uban sa bukog sa apapangig sa usa ka asno, mga pundok sa ibabaw sa mga pinundok, Uban sa apapangig sa usa ka asno nakapatay ako ug usa ka libo ka tawo.
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 Ug nahitabo sa pagkatapus niya ug pamulong nga iyang gisalibay ang bukog sa apapangig gikan sa iyang kamot; ug kadtong dapita gitawag nga Ramath-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 Ug giuhaw siya ug daku, ug misangpit kang Jehova, ug miingon: Ikaw ang nagahatag niining dakung kaluwasan pinaagi sa kamot sa imong ulipon; ug karon mamatay ako sa kauhaw ug mahulog sa kamot sa mga walay circuncicion.
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 Apan ang Dios nagpikas sa lungagang dapit sa Lehi ug minggula ang tubig didto; ug sa pag-inum niya, ang iyang espiritu nahiuhan, ug siya napiskay; busa ang ngalan niadto ginatawag En-haccore, nga anaa sa Lehi hangtud niining adlawa.
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 Ug siya nagmaghuhukom sa Israel sa adlaw sa mga Filistehanon sa kaluhaan ka tuig.
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, for twenty years.
