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:
Pagkatapos ng ilang mga araw, sa panahon ng pag-aani ng trigo, kumuha si Samson ng isang batang kambing at umalis para bisitahin ang kaniyang asawa. Sinabi niya sa kaniyang sarili, “Pupunta ako sa kuwarto ng aking asawa.” Pero hindi siya pinayagang pumasok ng ama ng kaniyang asawa.
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.”
Sinabi ng ama ng kaniyang asawa, “Akala ko galit ka sa kaniya, kaya ibinigay ko siya sa kaibigan mo. Ang kaniyang nakababatang kapatid na babae ay mas maganda kaysa sa kaniya, hindi ba? Siya nalang ang kunin mo.”
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.”
Sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, sa oras na ito hindi ako magkakasala patungkol sa mga Palestina kapag sinaktan ko sila.
4 And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
Kaya umalis si Samson at humuli ng tatlong daang soro at kaniyang itinali ng sama-sama ang bawat pares, buntot sa buntot. Pagkatapos kumuha siya ng mga sulo at itinali niya ang mga ito sa gitna ng bawat pares ng mga buntot.
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.
Nang inihanda niyang sunugin ang mga sulo, hinayaan niyang ang mga sorong magpuntahan sa mga nakatayong butil ng mga Palestina, at sinimulan nilang sunugin ang bawat nakasalansan na butil at ang mga butil na nakatayo sa bukid, kasama ng mga ubasan at ang mga halamanan ng olibo.
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.
Tinanong ng mga Palestina, “Sino ang gumawa nito?” Sinabi nila, “Si Samson, ang manugang ng taga-Timna, ginawa niya ito dahil kinuha ng taga-Timna ang asawa ni Samson at ibinigay siya sa kaniyang kaibigan. Pagkatapos nagpunta ang mga Palestina at sinunog siya at ang kaniyang ama.
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.”
Sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, “Kung ito ang ginawa ninyo, maghihiganti ako laban sa inyo, at pag nangyari na ito, hihinto na ako.
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.
Pagkatapos hiniwa niya sila ng pira-piraso, balakang at hita sa pamamagitan ng isang matinding pagpatay. Pagkatapos bumaba siya at nanirahan sa isang kuweba sa talampas ng 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.
Pagkatapos umakyat ang mga Palestina at naghanda sila para sa pakikipaglaban sa Juda at nagtalaga ng kanilang mga hukbo sa 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.”
Sinabi ng mga kalalakihan ng Juda, “Bakit kayo umakyat para salakayin kami?” Sinabi nila, “Sasalakay kami para mabihag si Samson, at gawin sa kaniya ang ginawa niya sa amin.”
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.”
Pagkatapos tatlong libong kalalakihan ng Juda ang bumaba sa kuweba sa talampas ng Etam, at sinabi nila kay Samson, “Hindi mo ba alam na ang mga Palestina ay naghahari sa amin?” Ano itong ginawa mo sa amin?” Sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, “Ginawa nila sa akin, ang ginawa ko sa kanila.”
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.”
Sinabi nila kay Samson, “Bumaba kami para talian ka at ipaubaya ka sa kapangyarihan ng mga Palestina.” Sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, “Ipangako ninyo sa akin na hindi ninyo ako papatayin.”
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.
Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Hindi, tatalian ka lang namin sa pamamagitan ng mga lubid at ibibigay sa kanila. Ipinapangako namin na hindi ka namin papatayin.” Pagkatapos siya ay tinalian nila sa pamamagitan ng dalawang bagong lubid at dinala paakyat mula sa bato.
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.
Nang makarating siya sa Lehi, nagsisigawang papalapit ang mga Palistana ng makita siya. Pagkatapos pumasok ang Espiritu ni Yahweh sa kaniya ng may kapangyarihan. Ang mga lubid na nasa kaniyang mga braso ay naging katulad ng nasunog na lino at bumagsak ang mga ito sa kaniyang mga kamay.
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.
Nakakita si Samsom ng isang sariwang panga ng isang asno, pinulot niya ito at pinatay ang isang libong kalalakihan sa pamamagitan nito.
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.”
Sinabi ni Samson, “Sa pamamagitan ng panga ng isang asno, mga tambak sa ibabaw ng mga tambak, sa pamamagitan ng isang panga ng asno pinatay ko ang isang libong kalalakihan.”
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.’
Nang matapos magsalita si Samson, itinapon niya ang panga ng asno at tinawag niya ang lugar na ito na 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.”
Uhaw na uhaw si Samson at tumawag kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Ibinigay mo itong dakilang tagumpay sa iyong lingkod, pero ngayon mamamatay ako sa pagka-uhaw at babagsak sa mga kamay ng mga hindi tuli?”
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.
At biniyak ng Diyos ang hukay sa lugar iyon ng Lehi at lumabas ang tubig. Pagkatapos niyang uminom, nanumbalik ang kaniyang lakas at sumigla siya. Kaya tinawag niyang En Hakkore ang lugar na iyon, at ito ay nasa Lehi sa araw na ito.
20 And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, for twenty years.
Hinukuman ni Samson ang Israel sa mga panahon ng mga Palestina sa loob ng dalawangpung taon.
