Judges 14
1 One day Samson went down to Timnah, where he saw a young Philistine woman.
Nígbà kan Samsoni gòkè lọ sí Timna níbẹ̀ ni ó ti rí ọmọbìnrin Filistini kan.
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.”
Nígbà tí ó darí dé, ó sọ fún àwọn òbí rẹ̀ pé, “Mo rí obìnrin Filistini kan ní Timna: báyìí ẹ fẹ́ ẹ fún mi bí aya mi.”
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.”
Baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Ṣé kò sí obìnrin tí ó dára tí ó sì tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn ní àárín àwọn ìbátan rẹ, tàbí láàrín gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wa? Ṣé ó di dandan fún ọ láti lọ sí àárín àwọn Filistini aláìkọlà kí o tó fẹ́ ìyàwó?” Ṣùgbọ́n Samsoni wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Fẹ́ ẹ fún mi torí pé inú mi yọ́ sí i púpọ̀púpọ̀.”
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.)
(Àwọn òbí rẹ̀ kò mọ̀ pé ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ni nǹkan yìí ti wá, ẹni tí ń wá ọ̀nà àti bá Filistini jà; nítorí àwọn ni ń ṣe àkóso Israẹli ní àkókò náà.)
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,
Samsoni sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Timna òun àti baba àti ìyá rẹ̀. Bí wọ́n ṣe ń súnmọ́ àwọn ọgbà àjàrà tí ó wà ní Timna, láìròtẹ́lẹ̀, ọ̀dọ́ kìnnìún kan jáde síta tí ń ké ramúramù bọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi fa kìnnìún náà ya pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lásán bí ẹní ya ọmọ ewúrẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò sọ ohun tí ó ṣe fún baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀.
7 Then Samson continued on his way down and spoke to the woman, because she was pleasing to his eyes.
Ó sì lọ bá obìnrin náà sọ̀rọ̀, inú Samsoni sì yọ́ sí i.
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.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, nígbà tí ó padà lọ láti gbé e níyàwó, ó yà lọ láti wo òkú kìnnìún náà. Inú rẹ̀ ni ó ti bá ọ̀pọ̀ ìṣù oyin àti oyin,
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.
ó fi ọwọ́ ha jáde, ó sì ń jẹ ẹ́ bí ó ti ń lọ. Nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn òbí rẹ̀, ó fún wọn ní díẹ̀, àwọn náà sì jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ fún wọn pé ara òkú kìnnìún ni òun ti rí oyin náà.
10 Then his father went to visit the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, as was customary for the bridegroom.
Baba rẹ̀ sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti kí obìnrin náà. Samsoni sì ṣe àsè gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣà ọkọ ìyàwó ní àkókò náà.
11 And when the Philistines saw him, they selected thirty men to accompany him.
Nígbà tí ó fi ara hàn, tí àwọn ènìyàn náà rí i wọ́n fún un ní ọgbọ̀n àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ láti wá bá a kẹ́gbẹ́.
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.
Samsoni sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí n pa àlọ́ kan fún un yín, bí ẹ̀yin bá lè fún mi ní ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ láàrín ọjọ́ méje àsè yìí, tàbí ṣe àwárí àlọ́ náà èmi yóò fún un yín ní ọgbọ̀n aṣọ tí a fi òwú ọ̀gbọ̀ hun, àti ọgbọ̀n ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ ìyàwó.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin kò bá le sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi, ẹ̀yin yóò fún mi ní ọgbọ̀n aṣọ tí a fi òwú ọ̀gbọ̀ hun àti ọgbọ̀n ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ ìgbéyàwó.” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Sọ àlọ́ rẹ fún wa jẹ́ kí a gbọ́.”
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.
Ó dáhùn pé, “Láti inú ọ̀jẹun ni ohun jíjẹ ti jáde wá; láti inú alágbára ni ohun dídùn ti jáde wá.” Ṣùgbọ́n fún odidi ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ni wọn kò fi rí ìtumọ̀ sí àlọ́ náà.
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?”
Ní ọjọ́ kẹrin, wọ́n wí fún ìyàwó Samsoni, pé, “Tan ọkọ rẹ kí ó lè ṣe àlàyé àlọ́ náà fún wa, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ àwa yóò sun ìwọ àti ìdílé baba rẹ̀ ní iná. Tàbí ṣe o pè wá sí ibi àsè yìí láti sọ wá di òtòṣì tàbí kó wa lẹ́rú ni?”
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?”
Nígbà náà ni ìyàwó Samsoni ṣubú lé e láyà, ó sì sọkún ní iwájú rẹ̀ pé, “O kórìíra mi! O kò sì ní ìfẹ́ mi nítòótọ́, o pàlọ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, ìwọ kò sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.” “Èmi kò tí ì ṣe àlàyé rẹ̀ fún baba àti ìyá mi, báwo ni èmi ó ṣe sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
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.
Fún gbogbo ọjọ́ méje tí wọ́n fi ṣe àsè náà ni ó fi sọkún, nítorí náà ní ọjọ́ keje ó sọ ìtumọ̀ àlọ́ fún un nítorí pé ó yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu ní ojoojúmọ́. Òun náà sì sọ ìtumọ̀ àlọ́ náà fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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!”
Kí ó tó di àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ keje àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà sọ fún un pé, “Kí ni ó dùn ju oyin lọ? Kí ni ó sì lágbára ju kìnnìún lọ?” Samsoni dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Bí kì í bá ṣe pé ẹ fi ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù mi kọ ilẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò bá tí mọ ìtumọ̀ sí àlọ́ mi.”
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,
Lẹ́yìn èyí, ẹ̀mí Olúwa bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára. Ó lọ sí Aṣkeloni, ó pa ọgbọ̀n nínú àwọn ọkùnrin wọn, ó gba àwọn ohun ìní wọn, ó sì fi àwọn aṣọ wọn fún àwọn tí ó sọ ìtumọ̀ àlọ́ náà. Ó sì padà sí ilé baba rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbínú ríru.
20 and his wife was given to one of the men who had accompanied him.
Wọ́n sì fi ìyàwó Samsoni fún ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ rẹ̀ nígbà ìgbéyàwó rẹ̀.
