Judges 15
1 Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.
Atue nasetto maw oh pacoeng, cang aah tue phak naah, Samson mah maeh caa to sin moe, paqaih hanah a zu khaeah caeh; ka zu ohhaih imthung ah ka caeh han, tiah a thuih. Toe a zu ih ampa mah anih to caehsak ai.
2 “I was sure that you thoroughly hated her,” said her father, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her instead.”
A zu ih ampa mah, Ka poek het naah, ka canu to na hnukma, tiah ka panoek, to pongah anih to nam pui hanah ka paek ving boeh; anih ih amnawk loe kranghoih kue na ai maw? Amya nongpata zuengah amnawk to la ah, tiah a naa.
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
Samson mah nihcae khaeah, Vaihi loe nihcae koeh ai ih hmuen ka sak cadoeh, Philistin kaminawk mah kai kasae thuih han tidoeh om mak ai, tiah a naa.
4 Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he took torches, turned the foxes tail-to-tail, and fastened a torch between each pair of tails.
To pongah a caeh moe, tasui cumvai thumto a naeh; tamai maeto hoi maeto komh pae moe, tasui tamai maeto hoi maeto salakah hmaithaw to takaek pae.
5 Then he lit the torches and released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, burning up the piles of grain and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Hmaithaw to hmai thlaek moe, Philistin kaminawk ih lawk ah tasuinawk to prawt pae; to naah cangkung, cangqui, misur takha hoi olive takhanawk doeh hmai mah kang boih.
6 “Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.
Mi mah maw hae hmuen hae sak? tiah Philistinnawk mah dueng o naah, Timnath vangpui ah kaom kami maeto canu ih sava Samson mah hae tiah sak; a zu to angmah ih ampui hanah paek pae o ving pongah anih mah to tiah sak, tiah a thuih pae o. To naah Philistinnawk loe caeh o moe, to nongpata hoi anih ih ampa to hmai hoiah qoeng o.
7 And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
Samson mah nihcae khaeah, Hae tiah hmuen na sak o pongah, nangcae nuiah lu ka lak han; to pacoengah ni palung ka phuihaih to dip vop tih, tiah a naa.
8 And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
Samson mah nihcae to tuk moe, paroeai kaminawk to hum; to pacoengah caeh tathuk moe, Elam lungsong nuiah a oh.
9 Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
Philistin kaminawk loe caeh o tahang moe, Judah ah atai o, paroeai kaminawk loe Lehi taengah oh o.
10 “Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
Judah kaminawk mah, Tipongah kaicae tuk hanah nang zoh o loe? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Samson to qui hoi taoeng hanah kang zoh o; kaicae nuiah a sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, a nuiah ka sak o toeng han, tiah a naa o.
11 In response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked Samson, “Do you not realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
To naah Judah prae thung ih kami sang thumto Elam lungsong ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o moe, Samson khaeah, Aicae loe Philistinnawk mah ni uk, tiah na panoek ai maw? Tipongah hae baktih hmuen hae na sak loe? tiah a naa o. Anih mah, Ka nuiah a sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah ni kai mah doeh ka sak, tiah a naa.
12 But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nang hae qui hoiah kang taoeng o moe, Philistinnawk khaeah paek han ih ni kang zoh o, tiah a naa o. Samson mah nihcae khaeah, To tiah nahaeloe nang to kang hum o mak ai, tiah lokkamhaih sah oh, tiah a naa.
13 “No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
Nihcae mah, Kang hum o mak ai, toe nang to kang taoengh o hmaloe moe, nihcae ban ah kang paek han, tiah a naa o. To pongah anih to qui kangtha hnetto hoiah taoengh o moe, lungsong ohhaih ahmuen hoiah a hoih o.
14 When Samson arrived in Lehi, the Philistines came out shouting against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and the bonds broke loose from his hands.
Lehi a phak o naah, Philsitinnawk mah anih to hangh o thuih; to naah thacakhaih hoi Angraeng ih Muithla to a nuiah oh; a ban pathlethaih qui kangthanawk loe hmai mah kangh ih tlangqui baktiah apet moe, a ban pong ih qui to angkhramh.
15 He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
Samson mah laa hrang ih akam huh to hnuk naah lak moe, to ah kaminawk sangto a hum.
16 Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”
To naah Samson mah, Laa hrang ih akamhuh hoiah, angpop sut ah ka hum, laa hrang ih akamhuh hoiah, kami sangto ka hum, tiah thuih.
17 And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.
Lokthuih pacoengah, laa hrang ih akamhuh to a vah sut; to ih ahmuen to Ramah Lehi, tiah kawk o.
18 And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
Anih loe paroeai tui anghaeh pongah, Angraeng khaeah, Hae kalen parai pahlonghaih na tamna ban ah na paek boeh; vaihi tui kanghae ah maw tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk ban ah ka duek han? tiah lawk a thuih.
19 So God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day.
To naah Angraeng mah Lehi ahmuen ih longhawh to paongh pae, to naah tui to tacawt, Samson mah tui to naek; to naah a hinghaih amlaem moe, tha oh let; to pongah to longhawh ahmuen to En-Hakkore, tiah ahmin sak, to ahmuen loe vaihni ni khoek to Lehi ah oh.
20 And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
Philistin kaminawk ukhaih dung thungah Samson mah Israel kaminawk to saning pumphaeto thung zaehhoih.
