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.
But it came to pass after a while, 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 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 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 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 Samson said unto them: 'This time shall I be quits with the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.'
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 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
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 when he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing corn, and also the oliveyards.
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.
Then the Philistines said: 'Who hath done this?' And they said: 'Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion.' And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father 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 Samson said unto them: 'If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that 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 smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Philisti rhoek te cet uh tih Judah ah a rhaeh uh hatah Lehi kaep ah khaw khawk yaal uh.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves against Lehi.
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 Judah said: 'Why are ye come up against us?' And they said: 'To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath 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 nauh. Tedae amih te Samson loh, “Kai taengah a saii uh vanbanglam ni amih taengah khaw ka saii van,” a ti nah.
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson: 'Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then 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 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 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 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 nauh. Te dongah anih te rhuivaeh a thai rhoi neh a khih uh tih thaelpang lamloh a khuen uh.
And they spoke 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 ropes, and brought him up from the 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.
When he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him; and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped 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 a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith.
16 Te dongah Samson loh, “Laak kah a kam neh paelh paelh, laak kah kam neh hlang thawngkhat ka ngawn coeng,” a ti.
And Samson said: With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I smitten 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 had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
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 sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said: 'Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of Thy servant; and now 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.
But God cleaved the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came back, and he revived; wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi unto 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.
