Lokcaekkung 15
1 Atue nasetto maw oh pacoeng, cang aah tue phak naah, Samson mah maeh caa to sin moe, paqaih hanah a zu khaeah caeh; ka zu ohhaih imthung ah ka caeh han, tiah a thuih. Toe a zu ih ampa mah anih to caehsak ai.
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer him to go in.
2 A zu ih ampa mah, Ka poek het naah, ka canu to na hnukma, tiah ka panoek, to pongah anih to nam pui hanah ka paek ving boeh; anih ih amnawk loe kranghoih kue na ai maw? Amya nongpata zuengah amnawk to la ah, tiah a naa.
And her father spoke, saying, I said that thou didst surely hate her, and I gave her to one of thy friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to thee instead of her.
3 Samson mah nihcae khaeah, Vaihi loe nihcae koeh ai ih hmuen ka sak cadoeh, Philistin kaminawk mah kai kasae thuih han tidoeh om mak ai, tiah a naa.
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
4 To pongah a caeh moe, tasui cumvai thumto a naeh; tamai maeto hoi maeto komh pae moe, tasui tamai maeto hoi maeto salakah hmaithaw to takaek pae.
And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
5 Hmaithaw to hmai thlaek moe, Philistin kaminawk ih lawk ah tasuinawk to prawt pae; to naah cangkung, cangqui, misur takha hoi olive takhanawk doeh hmai mah kang boih.
And he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
6 Mi mah maw hae hmuen hae sak? tiah Philistinnawk mah dueng o naah, Timnath vangpui ah kaom kami maeto canu ih sava Samson mah hae tiah sak; a zu to angmah ih ampui hanah paek pae o ving pongah anih mah to tiah sak, tiah a thuih pae o. To naah Philistinnawk loe caeh o moe, to nongpata hoi anih ih ampa to hmai hoiah qoeng o.
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 Samson mah nihcae khaeah, Hae tiah hmuen na sak o pongah, nangcae nuiah lu ka lak han; to pacoengah ni palung ka phuihaih to dip vop tih, tiah a naa.
And Sampson said to them, Though ye may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
8 Samson mah nihcae to tuk moe, paroeai kaminawk to hum; to pacoengah caeh tathuk moe, Elam lungsong nuiah a oh.
And he smote them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and dwelt in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 Philistin kaminawk loe caeh o tahang moe, Judah ah atai o, paroeai kaminawk loe Lehi taengah oh o.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
10 Judah kaminawk mah, Tipongah kaicae tuk hanah nang zoh o loe? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Samson to qui hoi taoeng hanah kang zoh o; kaicae nuiah a sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, a nuiah ka sak o toeng han, tiah a naa o.
And the men of Juda said, Why are ye come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
11 To naah Judah prae thung ih kami sang thumto Elam lungsong ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o moe, Samson khaeah, Aicae loe Philistinnawk mah ni uk, tiah na panoek ai maw? Tipongah hae baktih hmuen hae na sak loe? tiah a naa o. Anih mah, Ka nuiah a sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah ni kai mah doeh ka sak, tiah a naa.
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] thou hast done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nang hae qui hoiah kang taoeng o moe, Philistinnawk khaeah paek han ih ni kang zoh o, tiah a naa o. Samson mah nihcae khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe nang to kang hum o mak ai, tiah lokkamhaih sah oh, tiah a naa.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 Nihcae mah, Kang hum o mak ai, toe nang to kang taoengh o hmaloe moe, nihcae ban ah kang paek han, tiah a naa o. To pongah anih to qui kangtha hnetto hoiah taoengh o moe, lungsong ohhaih ahmuen hoiah a hoih o.
And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand, and will by no means slay thee: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that rock.
14 Lehi a phak o naah, Philsitinnawk mah anih to hangh o thuih; to naah thacakhaih hoi Angraeng ih Muithla to a nuiah oh; a ban pathlethaih qui kangthanawk loe hmai mah kangh ih tlangqui baktiah apet moe, a ban pong ih qui to angkhramh.
And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
15 Samson mah laa hrang ih akam huh to hnuk naah lak moe, to ah kaminawk sangto a hum.
And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and smote with it a thousand men.
16 To naah Samson mah, Laa hrang ih akamhuh hoiah, angpop sut ah ka hum, laa hrang ih akamhuh hoiah, kami sangto ka hum, tiah thuih.
And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have smitten a thousand men.
17 Lokthuih pacoengah, laa hrang ih akamhuh to a vah sut; to ih ahmuen to Ramah Lehi, tiah kawk o.
And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
18 Anih loe paroeai tui anghaeh pongah, Angraeng khaeah, Hae kalen parai pahlonghaih na tamna ban ah na paek boeh; vaihi tui kanghae ah maw tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk ban ah ka duek han? tiah lawk a thuih.
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, Thou hast been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 To naah Angraeng mah Lehi ahmuen ih longhawh to paongh pae, to naah tui to tacawt, Samson mah tui to naek; to naah a hinghaih amlaem moe, tha oh let; to pongah to longhawh ahmuen to En-Hakkore, tiah ahmin sak, to ahmuen loe vaihni ni khoek to Lehi ah oh.
And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
20 Philistin kaminawk ukhaih dung thungah Samson mah Israel kaminawk to saning pumphaeto thung zaehhoih.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
