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.
Ary nony afaka kelikely, tamin’ ny taom-pijinjana ny vary tritika, dia nitondra zanak’ osy Samsona ho entiny mamangy ny vadiny, ka hoy izy: Hiditra ao amin’ ny vadiko ao an-efi-trano aho. Nefa tsy namela azy hiditra ny rafozany,
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.”
fa hoy izy: Nataoko fa halanao mihitsy izy, ka dia nomeko ho an’ ny namanao; moa tsy tsara tarehy noho izy va ny zandriny? Masìna ianao, aoka izy halainao ho solony.
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
Dia hoy Samsona taminy: Tsy hanan-tsiny aho izao, na dia hanisy ratsy ny Filistina aza.
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.
Dia nandeha Samsona ka nisambotra amboahaolo telon-jato; dia naka zavatra hatao fanilo izy, ary nampifanendreny ny rambon’ ny amboahaolo tsiroaroa avy ka nafehiny teo anelanelan’ ny rambony ilay hatao fanilo.
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.
Ary rehefa nampirehetiny ny fanilo, dia nalefany ho any amin’ ny varin’ ny Filistina ireny, ka nandoro ny amboara sy ny vary mbola mitsangana ary ny voli-oliva koa.
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.
Ary hoy ny Filistina: Iza no nanao izany? Ary nisy nanao hoe: Samsona, vinanton’ ilay Timnita, satria ny rafozany efa nanome ny vadiny ho an’ ny sakaizany. Dia niakatra ny Filistina ka nandoro an-dravehivavy sy ny ankohonan-drainy tamin’ ny afo.
7 And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
Ary hoy Samsona taminy: Raha manao tahaka izany ianareo, dia mbola hamaly anareo tokoa aho, koa rehefa afaka izany, vao hitsahatra aho.
8 And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
Dia namely azy izy ka nahatapaka ranjo sy fe ary nahafaty be dia be; dia nidina izy ka nitoetra teo an-tsefatsefak’ ilay harambato mitresaka any Etama.
9 Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
Ary niakatra ny Filistina, dia nitoby teo amin’ ny Joda ka niely tany Lehy.
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.”
Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda: Nahoana no miakatra hamely anay ianareo? Dia hoy izy Hamatotra an’ i Samsona no niakaranay, mba hanao aminy tahaka izay efa nataony taminay.
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.
Dia nandeha ny lehilahy telo arivo amin’ ny Joda nankany amin’ ilay tsefatsefaky ny harambato mitresaka any Etama ka nanao tamin’ i Samsona hoe: Tsy fantatrao va fa manapaka antsika ny Filistina? Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? Dia hoy izy taminy: araka izay nataony tamiko no mba nataoko taminy.
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.”
Dia hoy kosa izy ireo taminy: Hamatotra anao no nidinanay, mba hatolotray ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina ianao. Dia hoy Samsona taminy: Mianiana amiko ary fa tsy hamely ahy ianareo.
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.
Dia niteny taminy izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Tsia; fa hamatotra anao fotsiny ihany izahay ka hanolotra anao eo an-tànany; fa tsy hamono anao tsy akory izahay. Dia namatotra azy tamin’ ny mahazaka roa vaovao izy ka nitondra azy niala tamin’ ilay harambato.
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.
Ary raha tonga tany Lehy izy, dia nanakora azy ny Filistina; ary ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah nilatsaka taminy, dia tonga tahaka ny rongony izay nodorana tamin’ ny afo ny mahazaka teny amin’ ny sandriny ary afaka tamin’ ny tànany ny fatorana.
15 He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
Ary nahita valanoranom-boriky vaovao izy, dia naninjitra ny tànany naka azy, ka iny no namonoany arivo lahy.
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.”
Ary hoy Samsona: Tamin’ ny valanoranom-boriky no nahafatesako ho antontany iray, eny, antontany roa; Tamin’ ny valanoranom-boriky no nahafatesako arivo lahy.
17 And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.
Ary rehefa nitsahatra niteny izy, dia nariany ilay valanoranom-boriky teny an-tànany; ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia natao hoe Ramata-lehy.
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?”
Ary nangetaheta indrindra izy, dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Hianao no nanome izao famonjen-dehibe izao tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanomponao; ary ankehitriny efa ho fatin-ketaheta aho ka hianjera ho eo an-tànan’ ny tsy mifora!
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.
Dia nampitresahin’ Andriamanitra ilay fitoerana hoboka tany Lehy, ka niboiboika teo ny rano; ary rehefa nisotro izy, dia nody ny ainy, ka velona Izy; ka izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe En-hakore, izay any Lehy mandraka androany.
20 And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
Dia nitsara ny Isiraely roa-polo taona tamin’ ny andron’ ny Filistina izy.
