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 comes to pass after [some] days, in the days of wheat-harvest, that Samson looks after his wife, with a kid of the goats, and says, “I go in to my wife, to the inner chamber”; and her father has not permitted 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 says, “I certainly said that you surely hated her, and I give her to your companion; is her younger sister not better than she? Please let her be to you instead of her.”
3 Samson in hitin aseije, “Tunvang Philistine te chunga itobang bol jongleng themmo taponge” ati.
And Samson says of them, “I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing evil with 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 Samson goes and catches three hundred foxes, and takes torches, and turns tail to tail, and puts a torch between the two tails, in the midst,
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 kindles fire in the torches, and sends [them] out into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burns [it] from heap even to standing grain, even to vineyard [and] olive-yard.
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 say, “Who has done this?” And they say, “Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken away his wife, and gives her to his companion”; and the Philistines go up, and burn 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 says to them, “Though you do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterward I 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 strikes them hip and thigh [with] a great striking, and goes down and dwells 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.
And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in 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 say, “Why have you come up against us?” And they say, “We have come up to bind Samson, 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 three thousand men of Judah go down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and say to Samson, “Have you now known that the Philistines are rulers over us? And what [is] this you have done to us?” And he says to them, “As they did to me, so I did to them.”
12 Juda mipi hochun amakomma aseijun,” Keihon nangmahi kantumma Philistine ho khutna pehdoh dinga kahungu ahi,” atiuve.
And they say to him, “We have come down to bind you—to give you into the hand of the Philistines.” And Samson says to them, “Swear to me, lest you fall on 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 speak to him, saying, “No, but we certainly bind you, and have given you into their hand, and we certainly do not put you to death”; and they bind him with two thick bands, new ones, and bring 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.
He has come to Lehi—and the Philistines have shouted at meeting him—and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over him, and the thick bands which [are] on his arms are as flax which they burn with fire, and his bands are melted from off his hands,
15 Hijouchun aman sangan khagu thah khat amun, hichu alan Philistine mi sangkhat hichea chun athat tan ahi.
and he finds a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and puts forth his hand and takes it, and strikes down one thousand men with it.
16 Samson’in aseije, “Sangan khagu mangchan alom chang’in kajamme, sangan khagu mangchan mi sangkhat kathatnin ahi,” ati.
And Samson says, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heap on heaps—I have struck down one thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey!”
17 Aman ahaan lasap chu achaiphat in sangan khagu chu apei mangtan ahi. Hiche munchu Ramath Lehi akisahtan ahi.
And it comes to pass, when he finishes speaking, that he casts away the jawbone out of his hand, and calls that place 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 thirsts exceedingly, and calls to YHWH, and says, “You have given this great salvation by the hand of Your servant; and now, I die with thirst, and have fallen 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 cleaves the hollow place which [is] in Lehi, and waters come out of it, and he drinks, and his spirit comes back, and he revives; therefore [one] has called its name “The fountain of him who is calling,” which [is] in Lehi to this day.
20 Philistine ten gamsunga vai ana homlaijun Samsonin Israelte chungah kum somni thutan’in ana pangin ahi.
And he judges Israel in the days of the Philistines [for] twenty years.
