Judges 14
1 Then Samson descended to Timnah. And seeing there a woman from the daughters of the Philistines,
Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Timina mpe amonaki kuna elenge mwasi moko ya Filisitia.
2 he went up, and he told his father and his mother, saying: “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. I ask that you take her to me as 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 mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, so that you would be willing to take a wife from the Philistines, who are uncircumcised?” And Samson said to his father: “Take this woman to me. For she has pleased 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 Now his parents did not know that the matter was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time, the Philistines had dominion 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 so, Samson descended with his father and mother to Timnah. And when they had arrived at the vineyards of the town, he saw a young lion, savage and roaring, and it met 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 Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon Samson, and he tore apart the lion, like a young goat being torn into pieces, having nothing at all in his hand. And he was not willing to reveal this to his father and mother.
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 he went down and spoke to the woman who had pleased his eyes.
Sima na yango, Samison akendeki na Timina, asololaki na mwana mwasi mpe alingaki ye.
8 And after some days, returning to marry her, he turned aside so that he might see the carcass of the lion. And behold, there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, with a honeycomb.
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 when he had taken it in his hands, he ate it along the way. And arriving to his father and mother, he gave them a portion, and they also ate it. Yet he was not willing to reveal to them that he had taken the honey from the body 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 so his father went down to the woman, and he made a feast for his son Samson. For so the young men were accustomed 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 when the citizens of that place had seen him, they presented to him thirty companions to be with him.
Tango abimaki, bapesaki bato tuku misato mpo ete bavanda na ye elongo.
12 And Samson said to them: “I will propose to you a problem, which, if you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.
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 But if you are not able to solve it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.” And they answered him, “Propose the problem, so that we may 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, “Food went forth from that which eats, and sweetness went forth from that which is strong.” And they were unable to solve the proposition 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 when the seventh day had arrived, they said to the wife of Samson: “Coax your husband, and persuade him to reveal to you what the proposition means. But if you are not willing to do so, we will burn you and your father’s house. Or have you called us to the wedding in order to despoil us?”
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 she shed tears before Samson, and she complained, saying: “You hate me, and you do not love me. That is why you do not want to explain to me the problem, which you have proposed to the sons of my people.” But he responded: “I was not willing to reveal it to my father and mother. And so, how can I reveal 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 Therefore, she wept before him during the seven days of the feast. And at length, on the seventh day, since she had been troubling him, he explained it. And immediately she revealed it to her countrymen.
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 they, on the seventh day, before the sun declined, said to him: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have uncovered my proposition.”
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 so the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he descended to Ashkelon, and in that place he struck down thirty men. And taking away their garments, he gave them to those who had solved the problem. And being exceedingly angry, he went up to his father’s house.
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 Then his wife took as a husband one of his friends and wedding companions.
Mpe babalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga ya Samison, oyo babengisaki na feti.
