Lawkcengkung 15
1 Hathnukkhu hoi canga lahun navah, Samson ni hmaeca a sin teh, a yu a pâtam. Ahni ni, ka yu koe roe hanelah rakhan thung na kâen sak haw atipouh. Hatei, a na pa ni kâen han pasoung pouh hoeh.
But it came to pass within a while after, 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 A na pa ni, ka canu hah na pahnawt toe telah ka pouk dawkvah, na hui koe yo ka poe toe. A nawngha teh ahni hlak a mei ahawi nahoehmaw. A hmau e yueng lah a nawngha ma lat lawih atipouh.
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 ni ahnimouh koe, atuteh, Filistinnaw heh patawnae puenghoi ka poe nakunghai, kai teh pathoe han awm hoeh toe telah atipouh.
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
4 Hahoi teh, Samson a cei teh, Asuihu 300 touh a man teh, a mai dawk hmaito koung a kawm pouh.
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
5 Hmaitonaw hah hmai a toteh, Filistinnaw e law um a yawng sak teh, cang hai thoseh, cabongnaw hai thoseh, misur takha, olive takhanaw hai thoseh koung a kak pouh.
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing grain, with the vineyards and olives.
6 Filistinnaw ni, het heh apimaw ka sak ati awh. Ahnimouh ni Timnah e cava Samson ni doeh ati awh. A yu a lawp awh teh, a hui a poe pouh awh dawkvah ati awh. Hahoi teh, Filistinnaw ni hote napui hoi a na pa im hmai ngeng a sawi pouh awh.
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 ni hettelah na sak awh dawkvah, nangmouh koe let na pathung awh roeroe han. Hathnukkhu doeh duem kaawm ti atipouh.
And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8 A cusin awh teh, buet touh hai hlout laipalah he a thei. Hahoi ka yawng ni teh Etam lungha kâko dawk a kâhro awh.
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 Hahoi Filistinnaw teh a takhang awh teh, Judah kho vah a roe awh. Lehi vah tueng a kâyat awh.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 Hahoi Judahnaw ni bangkongmaw kaimouh tuk hanlah na tho awh atipouh awh. Ahnimouh ni, Samson man hane hoi, kaimouh ka tak dawk a sak e patetlah a tak dawk sak hanelah ka tho awh atipouh.
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
11 Hottelah, Judahnaw 3,000 touh Etam lungha kâko dawk a yawng awh teh, Samson koevah, Filistinnaw ni na uk awh e heh na panuek awh hoeh maw telah ati. Ahni ni, ahnimouh koe kai ka tak dawk a sak e patetlah ka sak pouh e doeh telah 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 unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
12 Hatei, ahnimouh ni, ama koe Filistinnaw kut dawk na poe nahanelah, nang man hanelah, ka tho atipouh awh. Na thet mahoeh tie lawk kâkam ei telah atipouh awh.
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 Ahnimouh ni na thet awh mahoeh. Hatei, kacaklah na katek awh vaiteh, a kut dawk na poe awh han telah atipouh awh. Hahoi tangron katha yung hni touh hoi a katek awh teh, lungsong koe hoi a takhangkhai awh.
And they spake 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 cords, and brought him up from the rock.
14 Lehi a pha awh toteh, Filistinnaw a tho awh teh, a hramki sin awh. BAWIPA e Muitha a thakaawmpounge hah a tak dawk a pha teh, a kut dawk kateknae ruinaw pueng teh hmai hoi thoukthouk ka kang e patetlah a kut dawk hoi pak a ca pouh.
And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of Yhwh 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 La e a kamhru katha a pâphawng teh, hot hoi Filistinnaw 1,000 touh a thei.
And he found a new jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 Samson ni telah ati. La e kamhru hoi thouk ka mawk teh, La kamhru hoi tami 1,000 touh ka thei toe.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men.
17 Hottelah lawk a dei hnukkhu, la e kamhru a sin e hah a tâkhawng teh, hote hmuen teh Ramathlehi telah ati awh.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath–lehi.
18 Hahoi, tui hroung a kahran teh, BAWIPA hah a kaw. Nang ni na san e kut heh hno lahoi lentoe e lahoi na rungngang. Atu tui kahran lawi meimei ka due toe. Vuensom ka a hoeh naw e kut dawk maw kai ka kâpoe han toung.
And he was sore athirst, and called on Yhwh, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 Cathut ni Lehi hmuen koe a kavi pouh teh, tui a tâco. Hote a nei toteh, a kâha teh a tha bout akawi.
But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En–hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
20 Hottelah, Filistinnaw senah, Isarelnaw hah kum 20 touh a uk.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
