Judges 14
1 And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.
Ary Samsona nidina nankany Timna ka nahita vehivavy tao avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina.
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.
Ary niakatra izy, dia nilaza tamin-drainy sy reniny hoe: Efa nahita vehivavy tany Timna avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina aho; koa alao ho vadiko izy ankehitriny.
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.
Fa hoy ny rainy sy ny reniny taminy: Moa tsy misy vehivavy va eto amin’ ny zana-kavanao, na ato amin’ ny firesako rehetra, no dia mandeha maka vady any amin’ ny Filistina tsy mifora ianao? Dia hoy Samsona tamin-drainy: Izy ihany no alao ho ahy, fa izy no mahafinaritra ahy.
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.
Fa tsy fantatry ny rainy sy ny reniny fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah izany, satria nitady izay hiadiany tamin’ ny Filistina Izy; fa tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina no nanapaka ny Isiraely.
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.
Dia nidina Samsona sy ny rainy aman-dreniny nankany Timna. Ary nony tonga tao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka tany Timna izy, indro, nisy liona tanora nierona taminy.
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.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ary ilay liona tanora dia nosamatsamahiny hoatra ny fanasamaka zanak’ osy, nefa tsy nisy na inona na inona teny an-tànany; ary tsy nambarany tamin’ ny rainy na tamin’ ny reniny izay efa nataony.
7 And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
Dia nidina izy ka niresaka tamin-dravehivavy; ary nahafinaritra an’ i Samsona izy.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka kelikely, dia niverina hampakatra azy Samsona ka nivily hizaha ny fatin’ ilay liona; ary, indro, nisy reni-tantely nivangongo sy tantely tao amin’ ilay fatin’ ny liona.
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.
Ary nalain’ i Samsona izany ka nentiny teny an-tànany, dia nihinana teny am-pandehanana izy; ary nankany amin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny izy, dia nanome azy, ka nihinana koa izy mivady; nefa tsy nambarany taminy fa tao amin’ ny fatin’ ilay liona no nangalany ny tantely.
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.
Dia nidina ho any amin-dravehivavy ny rain’ i Samsona; ary nanao fanasana teo Samsona, fa izany no fanaon’ ny zatovo.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
Ary rehefa nahita azy izy mianakavy, dia nametraka namana telo-polo lahy hitoetra ao aminy.
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.
Ary hoy Samsona tamin’ ireo: Hanao fampanonona aminareo aho; koa raha lazainareo amiko ny heviny ao anatin’ ny hafitoana fanasana ka fantatrareo, dia homeko lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova ianareo.
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.
Fa raha tsy mahalaza amiko kosa ianareo, dia homenareo lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova aho. Dia hoy izy ireo: Ataovy ary ny fampanonona mba hohenoinay.
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.
Dia hoy Samsona aminy: Avy tao amin’ ny mpihinana no nivoahan’ ny hanina; Ary avy tao amin’ ny mahery no nivoahan’ ny mamy. Dia tsy nahalaza ny fampanonona izy tao anatin’ ny hateloana.
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?
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vadin’ i Samsona: Taomy ny vadinao hilaza ny fampanonona aminay, fandrao hodoranay amin’ ny afo ianao sy ny ankohonan-drainao; efa nanasa anay va ianareo ho entinareo mifafa izay anananay? Moa tsy izany va?
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?
Ary ny vadin’ i Samsona dia nitomany teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Halanao aho, fa tsy tianao tsy akory; efa nanao fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneko ianao, nefa tsy nolazainao tamiko ny heviny. Fa hoy izy taminy: Indro, na dia ny raiko sy ny reniko aza tsy nilazako azy, ka ianao va no hilazako?
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.
Dia nitomany teo anatrehany tamin’ ny hafitoana izay nisian’ ny fanasana ravehivavy; ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nolazain’ i Samsona taminy, satria nitorikisina taminy izy; ary izy kosa nilaza ny fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneny.
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.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, raha tsy mbola maty ny masoandro, dia hoy ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna tamin’ i Samsona: Inona no mamy noho ny tantely; Ary inona no mahery noho ny liona? Ary hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tsy nampiasa ny ombivavikeliko ianareo. Dia tsy ho nahalala ny fampanonona nataoko.
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.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah ka nidina nankany Askelona izy, dia namono telo-polo lahy tao, ary nalainy ny fitafian’ ireo ka nomeny ho an’ izay nilaza ny fampanonona. Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Samsona, ka niakatra nankany amin’ ny tranon-drainy izy.
20 And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
Ary ny vadiny dia lasan’ ny namany, izay efa nataony sakaizany.
