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 concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
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 fire-brands, and turned tail to tail, and put a fire-brand in the midst between 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 brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [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.
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he had 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 to them, Though ye have done this, yet will I 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 top of the rock Etam.
9 Philistine ten alethuh un Judah gamsungah ngahmun asemun Lehi khopi kom geijin akithe jao jengun ahi.
Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves 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 said, Why have ye come up against us? And they answered, We have come to bind Samson, 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 to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done to us? And 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.
And they said to him, We have come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to 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 to 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 cords, 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.
[And] when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed 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 jaw-bone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a 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 said, With the jaw-bone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain 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 jaw-bone out of his hand, and called 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 was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die by 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 a hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of it; and when he had drank, his spirit came again, and he revived. Wherefore he called the name of it 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.
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years.
