< Judges 15 >
1 And it came to pass after a time, in the days of the wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in.
Bangʼ kinde moko e ndalo mar kayo ngano, Samson nokawo nyadiel kendo nodhi limo chiege. Nowacho niya, “Adhi od nindo mar chiega.” To jaduongʼne ne ok nyal yiene mondo odonji.
2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hate her; therefore I gave her to thy companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Let her, I pray thee, be thine instead of her.
Nowachone niya, “Ne an-gi adieri ni ok idware, omiyo ne amiye osiepni. Donge nyamin mare matin ber neno moloye? En ema koro ikawe.”
3 And Samson said to them, This time I am blameless toward the Philistines, though I do them harm.
Samson nowachonegi niya, “Koro an-gi ratiro mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; ma kata koro atimonegi marach to aonge gi ketho.”
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between the two tails.
Omiyo nowuok kendo nomako kibwe mia adek motweyogi gi iwgi ariyo ariyo. Bangʼe notweyo mach e yiw kibwego,
5 And he set the torches on fire, and let [them] run into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, and the olive gardens.
bangʼe nomako mach e yiw kibwego mi oweyogi mondo gidonj e puothe mag jo-Filistia. Nowangʼo puothe moseka to gi mago mapodi, kaachiel gi puoth mzabibu kod puothe zeituni.
6 And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
Kane jo-Filistia openje niya, “En ngʼa motimo ma?” To nodwokgi niya, “En Samson, ma or ja-Timna, nikech chiege nomaye momi osiepne.” Omiyo jo-Filistia nodhi mowangʼo dhakono gi wuon-gi mi githo.
7 And Samson said to them, If ye act thus, for a certainty I will avenge myself on you, and then I will cease.
Samson nowachonegi niya, “Nikech usetimo gima kama, ok analingʼ nyaka achulnu kuor.”
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the cliff Etam.
Nomonjogi gi mirima ahinya mi onego ji mangʼeny kuomgi. Bangʼe nodhi modak e rogo mar lwanda man Etam.
9 And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Jo-Filistia nowuok kendo ne gibworo chakre dala mar Juda nyaka Lehi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
Jo-Juda nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubiro kedo kodwa?” Negidwokogi niya, “Wabiro mako Samson, mondo watimne kaka otimonwa.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the cliff Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
Eka ji alufu adek moa Juda nodhi e rogo mar lwanda man Etam ma giwachone Samson niya, “Bende ingʼeyo ni wan e bwo loch jo-Filistia? Ma angʼo ma isetimonwani?” Nodwoko niya, “Ne atimonegi mana gima gisetimona.”
12 And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may give thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall on me yourselves.
Negiwachone niya, “Wasebiro mondo watweyi kendo wachiwi e lwet jo-Filistia.” Samson nowacho niya, “Kwongʼrenauru ni un uwegi ok ununega.”
13 And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we certainly shall not put thee to death. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the cliff.
Negidwoke niya, “Wayie. Wabiro mana tweyi bangʼe wachiwi e lwetgi. Ok wananegi.” Omiyo ne gitweye gi tonde ariyo manyien ma gigole oko mar lwanda.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and the cords that were on his arms became as threads of flax that are burned with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Kane ochiegni chopo Lehi, jo-Filistia nobiro kakok kochome. Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Tonde mane otweyego nochalo ka usi mowangʼ, kendo gik mane otweyego nolwar oa e lwete.
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand and took it, and slew with it a thousand men.
Noyudo chogo manyien mar lemb punda, nokawe kendo nonego ji alufu achiel.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, a heap, two heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Eka Samson nowacho niya, “Gi chogo mar lemb punda aselokogi punde mangʼeny. Gi chok lemb punda asenego ji alufu achiel.”
17 And it came to pass when he had ended speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi.
Kane osetieko wuoyo, nowito chok lemb punda; kendo kanyo nochaki ni Ramath Lehi.
18 And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given by the hand of thy servant this great deliverance, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Nikech riyo nohewe ahinya, noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Isemiyo jatichni loch maduongʼ kama. Tangʼ atho gi riyo kendo alwar e lwet joma ok oter nyangu?”
19 And God clave the hallow rock which was in Lehi, and water came out of it. And he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
Eka Nyasaye noyawo holo e Lehi, kendo pi nowuok kanyo. Kane Samson omodhe, tekone noduogo. Omiyo thidhiano nochako ni En Hakore, kendo pod entiere Lehi.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samson notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo e ndalo mag jo-Filistia.
