< Judges 14 >
1 One day Samson went down to Timnah, where he saw a young Philistine woman.
Samson ya gangara zuwa Timna a can ya ga wata daga cikin’yan mata Filistiyawa.
2 So he returned and told his father and mother, “I have seen a daughter of the Philistines in Timnah. Now get her for me as a wife.”
Da ya komo, sai ya gaya wa mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa ya ce, “Na ga wata mace a Timna; ku auro mini ita ta zama matata.”
3 But his father and mother replied, “Can’t you find a young woman among your relatives or among any of our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me, for she is pleasing to my eyes.”
Mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa suka ce, “Babu wata karɓaɓɓiyar yarinya a cikin zuriyarku ko cikin dukan mutanenmu ne? Dole ne ka tafi wajen Filistiyawa marasa kaciya ka nemi aure?” Amma Samson ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “A auro mini ita dai. Ita ta dace da ni.”
4 (Now his father and mother did not know this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines; for at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.)
(Iyayensa ba su san cewa wannan daga wurin Ubangiji ne ba, wanda yake neman hanyar da za a kai wa Filistiyawa hari; gama a lokacin suna mulkin Isra’ila.)
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Suddenly a young lion came roaring at him,
Sai Samson ya gangara zuwa Timna tare da mahaifinsa da kuma mahaifiyarsa. Da suka yi kusa da gonar inabin Timna, nan da nan sai ga ɗan zaki ya taso ya nufe shi yana ruri.
6 and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.
Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya sauko masa da ƙarfi, ya sa ya yaga zakin kashi biyu da hannu kamar yadda akan yayyage ɗan akuya. Sai dai bai gaya wa iyayensa abin da ya yi ba.
7 Then Samson continued on his way down and spoke to the woman, because she was pleasing to his eyes.
Sa’an nan ya gangara ya yi magana da yarinyar, yana kuwa sonsa.
8 When Samson returned later to take her, he left the road to see the lion’s carcass, and in it was a swarm of bees, along with their honey.
Daga baya, da ya koma don yă aure ta, sai ya ratse don yă ga gawar zakin. Sai ga taron ƙudan zuma da zuma a ciki,
9 So he scooped some honey into his hands and ate it as he went along. And when he returned to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
wanda ya sa hannu ya ɗebo yana tafiya yana sha. Sa’ad da ya iso wurin iyayensa, ya ba su zuman, su ma suka sha. Sai dai bai gaya musu cewa ya ɗebo zuman daga gawar zaki ba.
10 Then his father went to visit the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, as was customary for the bridegroom.
To, mahaifinsa ya gangara don yă ga yarinyar. Samson kuwa ya shirya wata liyafa a can, yadda yake bisa ga al’adar angwaye.
11 And when the Philistines saw him, they selected thirty men to accompany him.
Sa’ad da ya bayyana, sai aka haɗa shi abokai talatin.
12 “Let me tell you a riddle,” Samson said to them. “If you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.
Sai Samson ya ce, “Bari in yi muku kacici-kacici, in kun ba ni amsa cikin kwana bakwai na wannan biki, zan ba ku riguna lilin talatin da kuma tufafi talatin.
13 But if you cannot solve it, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.” “Tell us your riddle,” they replied. “Let us hear it.”
In kuma ba ku iya ba ni amsar ba, dole ku ba ni rigunan lilin talatin da tufafi talatin.” Suka ce, “Ka gaya mana kacici-kacicin.”
14 So he said to them: “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” For three days they were unable to explain the riddle.
Sai ya ce, “Daga mai ci, abinci ya fito; daga mai ƙarfi, abu mai zaki ya fito.” Har kwana uku ba su iya ba da amsa ba.
15 So on the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband to explain the riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?”
A rana ta huɗu suka ce wa matar Samson “Ki rarrashi mijinki yă bayyana mana kacici-kacicin, ko kuwa mu ƙone ki da gidan mahaifinki duka da wuta. Kun kira mu domin ku yi mana fashi ne?”
16 Then Samson’s wife came to him, weeping, and said, “You hate me! You do not really love me! You have posed to my people a riddle, but have not explained it to me.” “Look,” he said, “I have not even explained it to my father or mother, so why should I explain it to you?”
Sa’an nan matar Samson ta kwanta masa a jiki tana kuka tana cewa, “Kai maƙiyina ne, lalle ba ka ƙaunata, ka yi wa mutanena kacici-kacici, amma ba ka gaya mini amsar ba.” Ya amsa ya ce, “Ban ma bayyana wa mahaifina ko mahaifiyata ba, to, don me zan bayyana miki?”
17 She wept the whole seven days of the feast, and finally on the seventh day, because she had pressed him so much, he told her the answer. And in turn she explained the riddle to her people.
Ta yi ta kuka har kwana bakwai na bikin. Saboda haka a rana ta bakwai sai ya gaya mata, don ta dame shi. Ita kuwa ta bayyana kacici-kacicin wa mutanenta.
18 Before sunset on the seventh day, the men of the city said to Samson: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” So he said to them: “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle!”
Kafin rana ta fāɗi a rana ta bakwai mutane garin suka ce masa, “Me ya fi zuma zaki? Me ya fi zaki ƙarfi?” Samson ya ce musu, “Da ba don kun haɗa baki da matata ba, da ba za ku san amsar kacici-kacici ba.”
19 Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave their clothes to those who had solved the riddle. And burning with anger, Samson returned to his father’s house,
Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko masa da iko. Sai ya fita ya gangara zuwa Ashkelon, ya kashe mutanensu talatin, ya kwashe kayansu ya kuma ba da rigunarsu ga waɗanda suka bayyana kacici-kacicin. Cike da fushi, ya haura zuwa gidan mahaifinsa.
20 and his wife was given to one of the men who had accompanied him.
Aka kuma ɗauki matar Samson aka ba wa ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suka yi masa hidima a bikin.
