Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Samson nodhi Timna kendo noneno nyako ma pod tin ma nyar jo-Filistia.
2 And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her for me as wife.
Kane odwogo to ne onyiso wuon-gi gi min-gi niya, “Aseneno nyar jo-Filistia modak Timna; omiyo koro kelnagouru obed chiega.”
3 And his father and his mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father, Take her for me, for she pleases me well.
Wuon-gi gi min-gi nodwoke niya, “Donge nitiere nyako modimbore kuom wedeni kata kuom jowa duto? Ochuno ni nyaka idhi ir jo-Filistia ma ok oter nyangu mondo iyude dhako?” To Samson nowachone wuon-gi niya, “Miya gouru. En ema owinjore koda.”
4 And his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
Jonywolne ne ok ongʼeyo ni ma en dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, mondo omi giyud thuolo mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; nimar e kindeno jo-Israel ne ni e bwo lochgi.
5 And Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and they came to the vineyards of Timnathah. And behold, a young lion roared against him;
Samson nodhi Timna kaachiel gi wuon-gi kod min-gi. Kane gichiegni chopo e puoth mzabibu mar Timna, apoya nono nyathi sibuor nowuok karuto kochome tir.
6 and the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he rent it as one rends a kid, and nothing was in his hand. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome giteko mane oyiecho sibuor koni gi koni gi lwete nono mana kaka onyalo yiecho nyadiel. To ne ok onyiso wuon mare kata min mare gima ne osetimo.
7 And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Eka nodhi mi owuoyo gi nyakono, kendo nohere.
8 And he returned after a time to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, [there was] a swarm of bees in the carcase of the lion, and honey;
Bangʼe achien, kane odhi mondo onywome, nolokore mondo one choke sibuor motho. E ringrene kanyo nopo koneno kich mochiek kochokore kuome,
9 and he took it out in his hands, and went on, and ate as he went. And he came to his father and to his mother, and gave them, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
mi nowuodho pet kiny motimo mo, mi nochamo kodhi. Kane oriwore gi jonywolne kendo, nomiyogi matin, kendo gin bende negichamo. To ne ok onyisogi nine ogolo mor kichno e choke sibuor motho.
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Wuon-gi nodhi mondo one nyakono. Kendo Samson noloso nyasi kanyo, nikech mano ema ne en kit wuowi madwaro nyombo.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they were with him.
Kane ochopo, to ne omiye jochungʼ piero adek.
12 And Samson said to them, Let me now propound a riddle to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments.
Samson nowachonegi niya, “We agonue ngero moro. Ka unyalo miya dwoko bangʼ ndalo abiriyo mar nyasini, to anamiu kandhe piero adek gi lewni mabeyo bende piero adek.”
13 But if ye cannot explain [it] to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments. And they said to him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.
Ka ok unyal miya dwoko, to nyaka umiya kandhe piero adek gi lewni mabeyo bende piero adek. Negiwachone niya, “Nyiswa ngero mari mondo wawinji.”
14 And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days explain the riddle.
Nodwoko niya, “Gima ichamo nowuok kuom jocham ji; gima mit nowuok kuom ratego.” Kuom ndalo adek ne ok ginyal chiwo dwoko.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye invited us to impoverish us, — is it not [so]?
E odiechiengʼ mar angʼwen, neginyiso chi Samson niya, “Hoo chwori mondo onyiswa tiend ngerono, ka ok kamano, to wabiro wangʼi kaachiel gi od wuonu duto nyaka utho. Ne iluongowa kae mondo imawa?”
16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddle to the children of my people, and hast not explained it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my father nor my mother, and shall I explain it to thee?
Eka chi Samson nodirore kuome, koywak, “Ok idwara! Ok ihera. Isemiyo joga ngero, to pod ok inyisa tiende.” Samson nodwoke niya, Wachni pod ok anyiso wuonwa kata minwa, “angʼo momiyo nyaka anyisi tiende?”
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while they had the feast. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddle to the children of her people.
Noywak odiechienge abiriyo duto mar nyasi. Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo nonyise, nikech nosiko mana kokase. Bangʼe nonyiso joge tiend ngerono.
18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey, And what stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.
Kane chiengʼ pod ok opodho e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo, jo-dalano nowachone niya, “En angʼo mamit moloyo mor kich? En angʼo maratego moloyo sibuor?” Samson nowachonegi niya, “Kane ok upuro gi nyarocha, to dine ok uyudo tiend ngeroni.”
19 And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of garments unto them that explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Nodhi Ashkelon, monego ji piero adek ma omagi gigegi mi ochiwo kandhe ne jogo mane owacho tiend ngero. Nodhi e od wuon ka en gi mirima.
20 And Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had made his friend.
Chi Samson nomi osiepne mane jachungʼne kokendo.
