< Judges 14 >

1 And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.
I HO aku la o Samesona i Timenata, a ike aku la i kekahi wahine ma Timenata, no na kaikamahine a ko Pilisetia.
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.
Pii mai la ia, a hai mai la i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, i mai la, Ua ike au i kekahi wahine ma Timenata, no na kaikamahine a ko Pilisetia; nolaila ea, e kii aku ia ia, i wahine na'u.
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.
I aku la kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine ia ia, Aole anei he wahine iwaena o na kaikamahine o kou poe hoahanau, a me kou poe kanaka a pau, i hele aku ai oe, e lawe i wahine no ka poe okipoepoe ole ia o ko Pilisetia? I mai la o Samesona i kona makuakane, E kii aku ia ia na'u, no ka mea, ua pono ia i ko'u mau maka.
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.
Aole i ike kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, na Iehova mai ia mea, no kona imi hala ana no i ko Pilisetia. Ia manawa e noho lanakila ana ko Pilisetia maluna o ka Iseraela.
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;
Alaila, iho aku la o Samesona, a me kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine i Timenata, a hiki i na pawaina o Timenata; uwo mai la kekahi liona opiopio, i kona halawai ana me ia.
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.
Kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a haehae iho la oia ia ia, e like me ka haehae ana o ke kaokeiki, aohe mea ma kona lima; aole hoi ia i hai aku i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, i ka mea ana i hana'i.
7 And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Iho aku la ia, a kamailio pu iho la me ua wahine la; a ua pono ia i na maka o Samesona.
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;
A mahope iho hoi mai la ia e lawe ia ia, kipa ae la ia e nana i ke kino o ka liona; aia hoi, he poe nalomeli, a me ka meli pu maloko o ke kino o ua liona la.
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.
Lalau aku la kona mau lima ia mea, a i ka hele ana, hele no ia e ai ana, a hiki i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a haawi aku la ia laua, a ai iho la laua; aole nae ia i hai aku ia laua, i kona lawe ana i ka meli, mailoko aku o ke kino o ka liona.
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Iho aku la kona makuakane i ua wahine la, a malaila i hana'i o Samesona i ahaaina palala; no ka mea, pela i hana'i na kanaka ui.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they were with him.
A ike lakou ia ia, lawe lakou i kanakolu hoa, e noho pu ai me ia.
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.
I aku la o Samesona ia lakou, E nanenane aku au ia oukou, a ina e koho mai oukou ia ia'u, i keia mau la ehiku o ka ahaaina ana, a loaa pono, alaila, e haawi aku au ia oukou i kanakolu palule, a me na paa kapa he kanakolu.
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.
Aka, ina aole hiki ia oukou ke hai mai ia'u, alaila, na oukou e haawi mai ia'u, i kanakolu palule, a me na paa kapa he kanakolu. I mai la lakou ia ia, E nane mai oe, i lohe makou.
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.
I aku la oia ia lakou, Mailoko mai o ka mea e ai ana i puka mai ai ka ai, a mailoko mai hoi o ka mea ikaika, i loaa mai ai ka ono. A i na la ekolu, aole hiki ia lakou, ke koho mai ia ia i ua nane la.
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]?
A i ka hiku o ka la, i ae la lakou i ka wahine a Samesona, E hoowalewale oe i kau kane, i hai mai ai oia ia kakou i ka nane, o puhi auanei makou ia oe, a me ka hale o kou makuakane i ke ahi. Ua kii mai anei oukou ia makou e hoohune ia makou, aole anei?
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?
Uwe iho la ka wahine a Samesona imua ona, i aku la ia ia, Ke hoowahawaha wale mai nei oe ia'u, aole aloha mai ia'u. Ua nanenane mai oe i na keiki a ko'u poe kanaka, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u. I mai la kela ia ia, Aia hoi, aole au i hai aku i ko'u makuakane, a me ko'u makuwahine, a e hai anei au ia oe?
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.
A ia mau la ehiku o ka lakou ahaaina ana, uwe iho la oia imua ona; a i ka hiku o ka la, hai mai la kela ia ia, no ka mea, koi ikaika loa mai la ia ia; a hai ae la ka wahine i ua nane la i na keiki a kona poe kanaka.
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.
A i ka hiku o ka la, aole i komo ka la, i mai la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia ia, Heaha ka mea i oi aku ka ono mamua o ka meli? a heaha hoi ka mea i oi aku ka ikaika mamua o ka liona? I aku la keia ia lakou, Ina aole oukou i oopalau me ka'u bipi wahine opiopio, ina ua loaa ole ia oukou ka'u nane.
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.
Kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a iho aku la ia i Asekelona, a pepehi iho la i kanakolu kanaka o lakou, a lawe i ko lakou lole, a haawi ae la i paa kapa no ka poe i hai mai i ka nane. Wela iho la kona huhu, a pii aku la ia i ka hale o kona makuakane.
20 And Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had made his friend.
Lilo ae la ka wahine a Samesona i kona hoa, ana i hoolauna aku ai.
