Thutan Vaihom Ho 15
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.
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 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 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 in hitin aseije, “Tunvang Philistine te chunga itobang bol jongleng themmo taponge” ati.
And Samson said unto them: 'This time shall I be quits with the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.'
4 Hijouchun apotdoh in Sial jathum aga man’in amei’u akhit mat matnun hiche akopto khatcheh chu meisel toh ahel kopmin ahi.
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 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 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 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.
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 Samson akihah sellin “Nanghon hiche hi naboljeh un nachunguva phu kalah tokah a kaki choldoh louding ahi,” ati.
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 Hijeh chun aman lunghangtah in Philistine hochu anokhumin mitamtah athatnin ahi. Hiche jouchun ama achen Etam munnah songpi khatnah chun agachengtan ahi.
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 Philistine ten alethuh un Judah gamsungah ngahmun asemun Lehi khopi kom geijin akithe jao jengun ahi.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves against Lehi.
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 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 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.
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 Juda mipi hochun amakomma aseijun,” Keihon nangmahi kantumma Philistine ho khutna pehdoh dinga kahungu ahi,” atiuve.
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 Samson in aseijin, “Aphai ahinla nangho tah in neitha louna diuvin kitem un” atin Amahon adonbut un “Nathat pouvinge” atiuvin ahi.
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 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.
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 Hijouchun aman sangan khagu thah khat amun, hichu alan Philistine mi sangkhat hichea chun athat tan ahi.
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith.
16 Samson’in aseije, “Sangan khagu mangchan alom chang’in kajamme, sangan khagu mangchan mi sangkhat kathatnin ahi,” ati.
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 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 had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
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 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 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.
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 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.
