Judges 14
1 Then Samson descended to Timnah. And seeing there a woman from the daughters of the Philistines,
Saamsoon gara Tiimnaahitti gad buʼee durba Filisxeem tokko achitti arge.
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.”
Yommuu achii deebiʼettis abbaa fi haadha isaatiin, “Ani Tiimnaahitti intala Filisxeem tokko argeeraatii na fuusisaa” jedhe.
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.”
Abbaa fi haatii isaa deebisanii, “Wanni akka ati Filisxeemota dhagna hin qabanne keessaa niitii fuutu si godhu firoota kee keessaa yookaan saba keenya hunda keessaa dubartiin dhabamteetii?” jedhaniin. Saamsoon garuu abbaa isaatiin, “Isheetu naa taʼaatii ishuma naa fidi” jedhe.
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.
Abbaa fi haatii isaa akka wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe hin beekne; Waaqayyo karaa ittiin Filisxeemota dhaʼu barbaadaa tureetii. Yeroo sanatti Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota gad qabanii bulchaa turan.
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.
Saamsoon abbaa isaatii fi haadha isaa wajjin gara Tiimnaahitti gad buʼe. Akkuma isaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Tiimnaahi bira gaʼaniinis leenci saafelli tokko ittanaa isatti dhufe.
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.
Hafuurri Waaqayyoos jabinaan Saamsoon irra buʼe; innis homaa of harkaa qabaachuu baatu illee akkuma nama ilmoo reʼee tokko cicciruutti leenca saafela sana ciccire. Garuu waan hojjete sana abbaa fi haadha isaatti hin himne.
7 And he went down and spoke to the woman who had pleased his eyes.
Ergasii gad buʼee dubartittii wajjin haasaʼe; isheenis ija isaatti tolte.
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.
Innis yeroo gabaabaa booddee yommuu ishee fuudhuuf achi deebiʼetti raqa leenca sanaa ilaaluuf of irra gara gale. Raqa leencichaa keessas tuunni kanniisaa guutee damma dammeessee ture;
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.
dammichas harka isaatti fudhatee nyaachaa karaa isaa itti fufe. Yommuu gara abbaa fi haadha isaa dhufettis damma sana irraa isaaniif kenne; isaanis ni nyaatan. Inni garuu akka damma sana raqa leencaa keessaa fuudhe isaanitti hin himne.
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.
Ergasii abbaan isaa intalattii ilaaluuf gad buʼe; Saamsoon akkuma dargaggoonni yeroo fuudhanitti cidha godhatan sana achitti cidha qopheesse.
11 And when the citizens of that place had seen him, they presented to him thirty companions to be with him.
Yommuu inni achi dhiʼaatettis isa arganii amaamota soddoma isaaf kennan.
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.
Saamsoonis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani hibboo tokko isinitti nan hima; yoo isin guyyoota cidhichaa torban keessatti hiikkaa isaa argattan, ani wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame soddomaa fi uffata kittii soddoma isiniifin kenna.
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.”
Isin yoo hiikkaa isaa natti himuu dadhabdan wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame soddomaa fi uffata kittii soddoma naa kennitu.” Isaanis, “Hibboo kee ni dhageenyaa nutti hima” jedhan.
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.
Innis deebisee, “Kan nyaatu keessaa wanni nyaatamu, jabaa keessaa immoo wanni miʼaawu baʼe” isaaniin jedhe. Isaanis hamma guyyaa sadiitti hibboo sana hiikuu hin dandeenye ture.
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?”
Isaanis guyyaa afuraffaatti niitii Saamsooniin, “Akka dhirsi kee hiikkaa hibboo kanaa nutti himuuf mee nuu kadhadhu; yoo kanaa achii nu siʼii fi mana abbaa keetii ibiddaan gubnaa. Ati nu saamuuf asitti nu waamtee?” jedhaniin.
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?”
Niitiin Saamsoonis fuula isaa duratti booʼaa “Ati na jibbiteerta! Ati dhugumaan na hin jaallattu. Ati saba koo hibboo gaafatteerta; garuu hiikkaa isaa natti hin himne” jetteen. Innis deebisee, “Ani abbaa koottii fi haadha kootti iyyuu hin himne; egaa ani sitti himuu qabaa?” jedheen.
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.
Isheenis guyyaa cidha sanaa torbanuu boottee isa rakkifte; innis sababii isheen ittuma fuftee boqonnaa isa dhowwiteef guyyaa torbaffaatti hiikkaa isaa isheetti hime. Isheen immoo hiikkaa hibboo sanaa saba isheetti himte.
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.”
Namoonni magaalaa sanaas guyyaa torbaffaatti utuu biiftuun hin lixin, “Wanni damma caalaa miʼaawu maali? Jabaan leenca caalu maali?” jedhaniin. Saamsoonis, “Utuu raada kootiin qotachuu baattanii, isin silaa hibboo koo hin hiiktan ture” jedheen.
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.
Kana irratti Hafuurri Waaqayyoo jabinaan isa irra buʼe. Innis gara Ashqaloonitti gad buʼee namoota magaalaa keessaa soddoma ajjeese; waan isaan qabanis irraa fudhatee namoota hibboo sana hiikaniif uffata kittii kenne. Aariidhaanis gubachaa gara mana abbaa isaatti deebiʼe.
20 Then his wife took as a husband one of his friends and wedding companions.
Niitii Saamsoonis miinjee isaatti heerumsiisan.
