Judges 14
1 And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.
Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Timina mpe amonaki kuna elenge mwasi moko ya Filisitia.
2 And he went up and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a wife.
Tango azongaki, alobaki na tata mpe mama na ye: — Namoni mwasi moko kati na basi ya bato ya Filisitia, na Timina; bokende kobalela ngai ye.
3 And his father and his mother said to him, Are there no daughters of your brethren, and [is there not] a woman of all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she [is] right in my eyes.
Tata mpe mama na ye bazongisaki: — Boni, kati na bandeko na yo to kati na bato na biso nyonso, ezali te na bana basi ya kitoko mpo ete okende kozwa mwasi kati na bato ya Filisitia oyo bakatama ngenga te? Kasi Samison alobaki na tata na ye: — Balela ngai ye, pamba te ye nde abongi mpo na ngai.
4 And his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.
Baboti na ye bayebaki te ete likambo wana ewutaki epai na Yawe, pamba te Yawe azalaki koluka nzela mpo na kokotisa mobulu kati na bana ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia. Pamba te na tango wana, bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele.
5 And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha; and behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.
Samison akendeki na Timina elongo na tata mpe mama na ye. Tango bakomaki pembeni ya bilanga ya vino ya Timina, mbala moko, mwana nkosi moko eyaki konguluma liboso ya Samison.
6 And the spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father and his mother what he had done.
Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Samison na nguya. Boye, Samison apasolaki nkosi na kati-kati, na maboko pamba, ndenge bapasolaka mwana ntaba. Kasi kati na makambo oyo asalaki, ayebisaki eloko moko te epai ya tata to mama na ye.
7 And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
Sima na yango, Samison akendeki na Timina, asololaki na mwana mwasi mpe alingaki ye.
8 And after some time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees, and honey [were] in the mouth of the lion.
Sima na mwa mikolo, tango azongaki na Timina mpo na kobala mwasi na ye, alekaki pembeni mpo na kotala nzoto ya nkosi oyo ekufaki. Kati na nzoto yango, amonaki liboke ya banzoyi mpe mafuta na yango.
9 And he took it into his hands, and went on eating, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out of the mouth of the lion.
Akamataki yango na maboko na ye mpe aliaki yango nzela-nzela. Tango akutanaki na baboti na ye, apesaki bango ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi. Bongo bango mpe baliaki yango; kasi atikalaki koyebisa bango te ete azwaki mafuta yango ya nzoyi kati na nzoto ya nkosi oyo ekufa.
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young men are used to do.
Tata na ye akendeki kotala elenge mwasi yango, mpe Samison asalisaki kuna feti moko ya monene, kolanda ndenge ezalaki momesano mpo na libala.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
Tango abimaki, bapesaki bato tuku misato mpo ete bavanda na ye elongo.
12 And Sampson said to them, I propound you a riddle: if you will indeed tell it me, and discover it within the seven days of the feast, I will you give thirty sheets and thirty changes of raiment.
Samison alobaki na bango: — Nalingi koyebisa bino lisese moko. Soki bopesi ngai eyano, na mikolo sambo ya feti, nakopesa bino bilamba tuku misato ya lino mpe bilamba tuku misato ya feti.
13 And if you can’t tell it me, you shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said to him, Propound your riddle, and we will hear it.
Soki bokoki te kopesa ngai eyano, bokopesa ngai bilamba tuku misato ya lino mpe bilamba tuku misato ya feti. Balobaki: — Yebisa biso lisese na yo, tolingi koyoka yango!
14 And he said to them, Meat came forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not tell the riddle for three days.
Samison alobaki na bango: — Kati na oyo eliaka, ebimi oyo baliaka; kati na oyo ezali makasi, ebimi oyo ezali elengi. Mikolo misato mobimba, bakokaki te kopesa ye eyano.
15 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now your husband, and let him tell you the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: did you invite us to do us violence?
Bongo na mokolo ya minei, balobaki na mwasi ya Samison: — Bondela mobali na yo mpo ete apesa biso ndimbola ya lisese; sima na yango, yaka koyebisa biso ndimbola yango. Soki te, tokotumba yo elongo na ndako ya tata na yo. Obengisi biso awa mpo na koyiba biso?
16 And Sampson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not; for the riddle which you have propounded to the children of my people you have not told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and my mother, shall I tell it to you?
Bongo mwasi ya Samison akomaki kolela liboso ya mobali mpe alobaki na ye: — Oyina ngai! Solo, olingaka ngai te! Oyebisaki bato na ngai lisese, kasi oyebisaki ngai ndimbola na yango te! Samison azongisaki: — Natikala kutu kolimbola yango epai ya tata to mama na ngai te, bongo ndenge nini nalimbola yango epai na yo?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it to the children of her people.
Na mikolo nyonso sambo ya feti, azalaki kaka kolela. Suka na suka, na mokolo ya sambo, Samison alimbolelaki ye yango, pamba te mwasi na ye atungisaki ye mingi. Bongo mwasi ya Samison, ye mpe akendeki kopesa ndimbola ya lisese yango epai ya bato na ye.
18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day, before sunrise, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you would not have known my riddle.
Na mokolo ya sambo, liboso ete moyi elala, bato ya engumba bayaki koloba na Samison: — Eloko nini ezali elengi koleka mafuta ya nzoyi? Mpe eloko nini eleki nkosi na makasi? Samison alobaki na bango: — Soki bosalaki likita te na mwasi na ngai, bokokaki koyeba te ndimbola ya lisese na ngai.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and went up to the house of his father.
Bongo Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Samison na nguya. Akendeki na Ashikeloni mpe abomaki bato tuku misato, azwaki bilamba na bango mpe apesaki yango epai ya bato oyo bapesaki ye ndimbola ya lisese. Azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye na kanda makasi.
20 And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
Mpe babalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga ya Samison, oyo babengisaki na feti.
