1 Khonungin, suhlou chang lhunphat nin Samson’in kelchanou khat ajinu peh dingin ahin choijin ahungin. Hichun aman aseijin, “Keima kajinu indan sunga che–ing ting galuppin kate,” ati. Ahinla ajinu apan analutsah tapon ahi.
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 Numeinu pan anaseijin, “Keiman kagella chu nangman najinu chu nadeilou mong mong ahitai katia, nagol phapenpa komma ajidingin kanapeh ahitai, ahinla ven anaonu hi amanu sanga hoijo louham, amahi kichenpi tan” atin ahi.
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 Samson in hitin aseije, “Tunvang Philistine te chunga itobang bol jongleng themmo taponge” ati.
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief amongst them.
4 Hijouchun apotdoh in Sial jathum aga man’in amei’u akhit mat matnun hiche akopto khatcheh chu meisel toh ahel kopmin ahi.
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 Hijouchun, meiyin ahallin Sial hochu Philistinete loulai changphung lah a chun alhalut’in ahi. Hitichun chaangho chu agale akung pummin ahal lhajengin lengpithei leh Olive thing kisan’in ahal lhah tha jengin ahi.
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 Philistine hochun, “Hichehi koibol bepseo hitam?” atiuvin ahileh “Samson” ahi, Timnah mi apupa chun Samson jinu chu agolphapen patoh kicheng dinga anapeh doh jeh a abol ahi” atiuve. Hijeh chun Philistine techu acheuvin numeinu nule pachu amandoh uvin meijah ahallih tauve.
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 akihah sellin “Nanghon hiche hi naboljeh un nachunguva phu kalah tokah a kaki choldoh louding ahi,” ati.
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 Hijeh chun aman lunghangtah in Philistine hochu anokhumin mitamtah athatnin ahi. Hiche jouchun ama achen Etam munnah songpi khatnah chun agachengtan ahi.
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 Philistine ten alethuh un Judah gamsungah ngahmun asemun Lehi khopi kom geijin akithe jao jengun ahi.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
10 Judah mipite chun Philistine hochu adongun “Ipi bolla neihung delkhum uham?” atiuve. Philistine ten adonbut un, “Keiho Samson mandinga hung kahiuve, aman keiho chunga thilse abol hi lethuh dinga kahung’u ahi,” atiuve.
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 Hichun Judah mite sangthum chu Etam songpi ko homma um Samson chu gamandoh ding in achesuh un ahi. Amahon Samson komma chun “Philistine tehin ichunguva vai ahom u ahi tihi nahet louham-kachung uva hi ipibepseo nabol hitam?” atiuve. Ahin Samson in adonbutnin “Amahon keichunga abol tobang bepma kalethuh ahibouve” ati.
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 Juda mipi hochun amakomma aseijun,” Keihon nangmahi kantumma Philistine ho khutna pehdoh dinga kahungu ahi,” atiuve.
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 Samson in aseijin, “Aphai ahinla nangho tah in neitha louna diuvin kitem un” atin Amahon adonbut un “Nathat pouvinge” atiuvin ahi.
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 Samson chu Lehi ahunglhun phatnin Philistine ho chun noise tahin kholhang asammun ahin delkhumun ahi. Ahinla Pakai lhagao chu thaneitah in Samson chunga ahung chun, akikanna khaoho chu meiyin patjang akahtan bangin atumtan gamtan ahi.
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 Hijouchun aman sangan khagu thah khat amun, hichu alan Philistine mi sangkhat hichea chun athat tan ahi.
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 Samson’in aseije, “Sangan khagu mangchan alom chang’in kajamme, sangan khagu mangchan mi sangkhat kathatnin ahi,” ati.
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 Aman ahaan lasap chu achaiphat in sangan khagu chu apei mangtan ahi. Hiche munchu Ramath Lehi akisahtan ahi.
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 Hijouchun ama adangchah lheh jengtan ahileh Pakai kommah akapjah jengin, “Nangin nalhachapa thahat aming chaan galjona loupitah neipetan ahi. Tuahi dangchah a kathia hiche cheptan louho khutna hi kalouding hitam?” ati.
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 Hijeh chun Pathenin Lehi tolgolai komtong khatchu apokeh dahin tui ahung kikhodoh jengtan ahi. Samson’in hichu adonnin akido dohtan ahi. Hijeh chun ahiche munchu “En-hakkore” asahun hichu tuni geijin Lehi munnah aumna laiye.
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 Philistine ten gamsunga vai ana homlaijun Samsonin Israelte chungah kum somni thutan’in ana pangin ahi.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
