Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."

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.

Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.

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, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He 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.
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."

When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Ruach of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like 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 fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.

Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey 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.
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.

He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"

And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 Philistine ten gamsunga vai ana homlaijun Samsonin Israelte chungah kum somni thutan’in ana pangin ahi.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
