< Judges 15 >
1 Then, after some time, when the days of the wheat harvest were near, Samson arrived, intending to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid from the goats. And when he wanted to enter her bedroom, as usual, her father prohibited him, saying:
Daga baya, a lokacin girbin alkama, Samson ya ɗauki ɗan akuya ya tafi yă ziyarci matarsa. Sai ya ce, “Zan in shiga ɗakin matata.” Amma mahaifinta ya hana shi shiga.
2 “I thought that you would hate her, and therefore I gave her to your friend. But she has a sister, who is younger and more beautiful than she is. And she may be a wife for you, instead of her.”
Ya ce wa, “Na tabbata ba ka sonta sam-sam, don haka na ba da ita ga abokinka. Ba ƙanuwarta ta fi kyau ba? Ka ɗauke ta a maimako.”
3 And Samson answered him: “From this day, there shall be no guilt for me against the Philistines. For I will do harm to you all.”
Samson kuwa ya ce musu, “A wannan lokaci ina da iko in rama a kan Filistiyawa; tabbatacce zan ji musu.”
4 And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
Saboda haka ya tafi ya kama yanyawa ɗari uku ya ɗaura wutsiyoyinsu wutsiya da wutsiya. Sa’an nan ya daure acibalbal a tsakanin ko waɗanne wutsiya biyu,
5 And setting these on fire, he released them, so that they might rush from place to place. And immediately they went into the grain fields of the Philistines, setting these on fire, both the grain that was already bound for carrying, and what was still standing on the stalk. These were completely burned up, so much so that the flame also consumed even the vineyards and the olive groves.
sai ya sa wa acibalbal wuta, ya saki yanyawan suka shiga gonakin Filistiyawa. Suka ƙone dammunan hatsi da hatsin da yake tsaye, tare da gonakin inabi da na zaitun.
6 And the Philistines said, “Who has done this thing?” And it was said: “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another. He has done these things.” And the Philistines went up and burned the woman as well as her father.
Filistiyawa suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Wane ne ya yi wannan abu?” Sai aka ce musu, “Ai, Samson ne surukin mutumin Timna, domin an ba wa abokinsa matarsa.” Saboda haka Filistiyawa suka haura suka je suka ƙone ta da mahaifinta ƙurmus da wuta.
7 And Samson said to them, “Even though you have done this, I will still fulfill vengeance against you, and then I will be quieted.”
Samson ya ce musu, “Tun da kun aikata wannan, ba zan bari ba har sai na ɗau fansa a kanku.”
8 And he struck them with a tremendous slaughter, so much so that, out of astonishment, they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And descending, he lived in a cave of the rock at Etam.
Ya kuwa fāɗa musu ya kuma karkashe su da yawa. Sa’an nan ya gangara ya zauna a kogo a dutsen Etam.
9 And so the Philistines, ascending into the land of Judah, made camp at the place which was later called Lehi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army spread out.
Filistiyawa suka haura suka yi sansani a Yahuda, suka bazu kusa da Lehi.
10 And some from the tribe of Judah said to them, “Why have you ascended against us?” And they responded, “We have come to bind Samson, and to repay him for what he has done to us.”
Mutanen Yahuda suka ce, “Me ya sa kuka zo mana da yaƙi?” Sai suka ce, “Mun zo ne mu kama Samson, a matsayin fursunan yaƙi, mu yi masa kamar yadda ya yi mana.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah descended to the cave of the rock at Etam. And they said to Samson: “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? Why would you want to do this?” And he said to them, “As they have done to me, so I have done to them.”
Sa’an nan mutane dubu uku daga Yahuda suka gangara wajen Samson a kogo a dutsen Etam. Suka ce masa, “Ba ka san cewa Filistiyawa ne suke mulkinmu ba? Me ke nan ka yi mana?” Ya ce musu, “Na ɗan yi musu abin da suka yi mini ne.”
12 And they said to him, “We have come to bind you, and to deliver you into the hands of the Philistines.” And Samson said to them, “Swear and promise to me that you will not kill me.”
Suka ce masa, “To, mun zo ne mu daure ka mu kai wa Filistiyawa.” Samson ya ce, “Ku rantse mini ba za ku kashe ni da kanku ba.”
13 They said: “We will not kill you. But we will deliver you tied.” And they bound him with two new cords. And they took him from the rock at Etam.
Suka ce, “Mun yarda, za mu dai daure ka mu ba da kai gare su. Ba za mu kashe ka ba.” Saboda haka suka daure shi da sababbin igiyoyi biyu, suka saukar da shi daga dutsen.
14 And when he had arrived at the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines, shouting aloud, had met him, the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him. And just as flax is usually consumed by a hint of fire, so were the ties with which he was bound broken and released.
Yayinda ya zo gab da Lehi, sai Filistiyawa suka sheƙo a guje da ihu suka nufo shi. Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya sauko da iko a kansa. Igiyoyin da suke daure a hannuwansa kuwa suka zama kamar abin da wuta ta babbaka, suka tsintsinke suka zuba daga hannuwansa.
15 And finding a jawbone which was laying there, that is, the jawbone of a donkey, snatching it up, he put to death a thousand men with it.
Da ya samo muƙamuƙin jaki, ya ɗauka, sai ya karkashe mutane dubu ɗaya.
16 And he said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, with the jaw of the colt of a donkey, I have destroyed them, and I have struck down a thousand men.”
Sa’an nan Samson ya ce, “Da muƙamuƙin jaki na mai da su jakuna. Da muƙamuƙin jaki na kashe mutum dubu.”
17 And when he had completed these words, singing, he threw the jawbone from his hand. And called the name of that place Ramath-Lehi, which is translated as ‘the elevation of the jawbone.’
Da ya gama magana, sai ya jefar da muƙamuƙin; aka ba wa wannan wuri suna Ramat Lehi.
18 And being very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord, and he said: “You have given, to the hand of your servant, this very great salvation and victory. But see that I am dying of thirst, and so I will fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.”
Saboda ƙishirwa ta kama shi ƙwarai, sai ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Ka ba bawanka wannan babbar nasara. To, sai in mutu da ƙishirwa, har in shiga a hannun marasa kaciyan nan su kashe ni?”
19 And so the Lord opened a large tooth in the jawbone of the donkey, and water went out from it. And having drank it, his spirit was revived, and he recovered his strength. For this reason, the name of that place was called ‘the Spring called forth from the jawbone,’ even to the present day.
Sa’an nan Allah ya buɗe wani rami a Lehi, ruwa kuwa ya fito daga ciki. Da Samson ya sha, sai ƙarfinsa ya dawo, ya kuma wartsake. Aka sa wa wannan maɓulɓula suna En Hakkore, yana nan a Lehi har wa yau.
20 And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, for twenty years.
Samson kuwa ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara ashirin a zamanin Filistiyawa.
