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.
BUT it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would 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 said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray 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 Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
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 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
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 when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards 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.
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father 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 Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that 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 hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Philistin kaminawk loe caeh o tahang moe, Judah ah atai o, paroeai kaminawk loe Lehi taengah oh o.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
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 Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath 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.
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto 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 unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto 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 spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the 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 when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed 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 a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
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 Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain 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 had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.
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 sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now 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.
But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En-hakkore, which is in Lehi unto 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.
