Jongʼad Bura 15
1 Bangʼ kinde moko e ndalo mar kayo ngano, Samson nokawo nyadiel kendo nodhi limo chiege. Nowacho niya, “Adhi od nindo mar chiega.” To jaduongʼne ne ok nyal yiene mondo odonji.
But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2 Nowachone niya, “Ne an-gi adieri ni ok idware, omiyo ne amiye osiepni. Donge nyamin mare matin ber neno moloye? En ema koro ikawe.”
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."
3 Samson nowachonegi niya, “Koro an-gi ratiro mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; ma kata koro atimonegi marach to aonge gi ketho.”
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 Omiyo nowuok kendo nomako kibwe mia adek motweyogi gi iwgi ariyo ariyo. Bangʼe notweyo mach e yiw kibwego,
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 bangʼe nomako mach e yiw kibwego mi oweyogi mondo gidonj e puothe mag jo-Filistia. Nowangʼo puothe moseka to gi mago mapodi, kaachiel gi puoth mzabibu kod puothe zeituni.
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Kane jo-Filistia openje niya, “En ngʼa motimo ma?” To nodwokgi niya, “En Samson, ma or ja-Timna, nikech chiege nomaye momi osiepne.” Omiyo jo-Filistia nodhi mowangʼo dhakono gi wuon-gi mi githo.
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.
7 Samson nowachonegi niya, “Nikech usetimo gima kama, ok analingʼ nyaka achulnu kuor.”
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 Nomonjogi gi mirima ahinya mi onego ji mangʼeny kuomgi. Bangʼe nodhi modak e rogo mar lwanda man Etam.
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Jo-Filistia nowuok kendo ne gibworo chakre dala mar Juda nyaka Lehi.
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 Jo-Juda nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubiro kedo kodwa?” Negidwokogi niya, “Wabiro mako Samson, mondo watimne kaka otimonwa.”
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11 Eka ji alufu adek moa Juda nodhi e rogo mar lwanda man Etam ma giwachone Samson niya, “Bende ingʼeyo ni wan e bwo loch jo-Filistia? Ma angʼo ma isetimonwani?” Nodwoko niya, “Ne atimonegi mana gima gisetimona.”
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 Negiwachone niya, “Wasebiro mondo watweyi kendo wachiwi e lwet jo-Filistia.” Samson nowacho niya, “Kwongʼrenauru ni un uwegi ok ununega.”
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."
13 Negidwoke niya, “Wayie. Wabiro mana tweyi bangʼe wachiwi e lwetgi. Ok wananegi.” Omiyo ne gitweye gi tonde ariyo manyien ma gigole oko mar lwanda.
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 Kane ochiegni chopo Lehi, jo-Filistia nobiro kakok kochome. Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Tonde mane otweyego nochalo ka usi mowangʼ, kendo gik mane otweyego nolwar oa e lwete.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit 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 Noyudo chogo manyien mar lemb punda, nokawe kendo nonego ji alufu achiel.
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Eka Samson nowacho niya, “Gi chogo mar lemb punda aselokogi punde mangʼeny. Gi chok lemb punda asenego ji alufu achiel.”
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 Kane osetieko wuoyo, nowito chok lemb punda; kendo kanyo nochaki ni Ramath Lehi.
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 Nikech riyo nohewe ahinya, noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Isemiyo jatichni loch maduongʼ kama. Tangʼ atho gi riyo kendo alwar e lwet joma ok oter nyangu?”
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?"
19 Eka Nyasaye noyawo holo e Lehi, kendo pi nowuok kanyo. Kane Samson omodhe, tekone noduogo. Omiyo thidhiano nochako ni En Hakore, kendo pod entiere Lehi.
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 Samson notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo e ndalo mag jo-Filistia.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
