Laitloekkung 15
1 Khohnin puet om tih cangah tue vaengah tah Samson loh a yuu te maae ca neh a hip. Te dongah, “Ka yuu taengah imkhui la ka kun pawn ni,” a ti van hatah huta kah a napa loh anih te kun sak pawh.
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 Te phoeiah huta kah a napa loh, “Anih he hnoel rhoela na hnoel tila ka ti khaw ka ti coeng dongah anih he na baerhoep taengah ka paek coeng. A mana te anih lakah a then ngai moenih a? A ham yueng la nang taengah tloep om mai saeh,” a ti nah.
And her father spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
3 Te phoeiah Samson loh amih te, “Philisti taeng lamloh voeivai tah m'hmil dae saeh, amih taengah boethae ka saii vaengah he,” a ti nah.
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
4 Te phoeiah Samson te cet tih maetang ya thum a tuuk. Hmaithoi a loh tih maetang a mai neh mai boeih a hlaengtang pah. Maetang kah a mai rhoi laklo ah hmaithoi a khih pah.
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 Hmaithoi te hmai a hlae tih Philisti kah canghli ah a hlah vaengah canghlom lamloh canghli khaw, misur neh olive khaw boeih a ung pah.
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 Te dongah Philisti rhoek loh, “He he ulae aka saii,” a ti uh hatah, “A yuu te a bong pah tih a baerhoep taengla vik a paek pah dongah Timni cava Samson loh a saii,” a ti uh. Te dongah Philisti rhoek te cet uh tih amah khaw a napa te khaw hmai neh a hoeh uh.
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 Tedae amih te Samson loh, “He bang he na saii uh van dongah nangmih phu kan loh daengah ni ka paa eh?,” a ti nah.
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
8 Amih te a hlit neh a laeng dongah hmasoe len neh a taam daengah suntla tih Etam thaelpang kah thaelvap khuiah kho a sak.
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 Philisti rhoek te cet uh tih Judah ah a rhaeh uh hatah Lehi kaep ah khaw khawk yaal uh.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
10 Te dongah Judah hlang rhoek loh, “Balae tih kaimih soah na luei uh,” a ti nah hatah, “Samson te khoh ham neh kaimih taengah a saii bangla anih taengah saii van ham kam paan uh coeng,” a ti uh.
And the men of Juda said, Why are you 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 Te dongah Judah hlang thawng thum te Etam thaelpang kah thaelvap la suntla uh tih Samson te, “Philisti loh mamih ng'ngol thil te na ming pawt nim, kaimih ham balae na saii he?,” a ti na uh. Tedae amih te Samson loh, “Kai taengah a saii uh vanbanglam ni amih taengah khaw ka saii van,” a ti nah.
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 Te vaengah, “Nang khih ham neh Philisti kut ah tloeng ham ni ka suntlak uh,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih te Samson loh, “Kai taengah toemngam uh dae, kai tarha nan cuuk uh thil ve,” a ti nah.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 Te dongah Samson te a doo uh tih, “Nang te dawk kang khih la kang khih uh vetih a kut ah kan tloeng ham ngawn ni, nang te kan duek rhoe kan duek sak uh mahpawh,” a ti na uh. Te dongah anih te rhuivaeh a thai rhoi neh a khih uh tih thaelpang lamloh a khuen uh.
And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that rock.
14 Lehi la a pawk vaengah anih te doe hamla Philisti rhoek yuhui uh. Tedae anih te BOEIPA Mueihla loh a thaihtak sak dongah a ban dongkah rhuivaeh te hmai neh a do hlamik bangla poeh. Te dongah a kut dong lamkah a pinyennah te tlae.
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 Te vaengah laak kah a kam haeng te a hmuh dongah a kut a yueng tih a loh. Te nen te hlang thawngkhat a ngawn.
And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
16 Te dongah Samson loh, “Laak kah a kam neh paelh paelh, laak kah kam neh hlang thawngkhat ka ngawn coeng,” a ti.
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 struck a thousand men.
17 A thui te a khah nen tah a kut dongkah laak kam te khaw vik a voeih. Te phoeiah tekah hmuen te Ramathlehi a sak.
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 Te vaengah tui dikdik a halthi hatah BOEIPA te a khue tih, “Na sal kut dongah he loeihnah khaw namah loh muep nam paek coeng. Tedae tuihalh ah ka duek vetih pumdul kut ah ka cungku pawn aya?,” a ti nah.
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 Te vaengah Pathen loh Lehi ah a khui a vueh pah tih tui a phuet pah. Samson loh a ok tih a hil a sang daengah ni a. hing pueng. Te dongah a ming te Enehakore a sak tih tihnin duela Lehi ah om.
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 Philisti tue vaengah Israel te kum kul lai a tloek pah.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
