< Judges 15 >

1 And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ní àkókò ìkórè alikama, Samsoni mú ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́ kan láti bẹ ìyàwó rẹ̀ wò. Ó ní, “Èmi yóò wọ yàrá ìyàwó mi lọ.” Ṣùgbọ́n baba rẹ̀ kò gbà á láààyè láti wọlé.
2 I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
Baba ìyàwó dá a lóhùn pé, “Ó dá mi lójú pé o kórìíra rẹ̀, torí náà mo ti fi fún ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ, ṣe bí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin kò ha lẹ́wà jùlọ? Fẹ́ ẹ dípò rẹ̀.”
3 And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
Samsoni dáhùn pé, “Ní àkókò yìí tí mo bá ṣe àwọn Filistini ní ibi èmi yóò jẹ́ aláìjẹ̀bi.”
4 And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
Samsoni sì jáde lọ, ó mú ọ̀ọ́dúnrún kọ̀lọ̀kọ̀lọ̀ ó so ìrù wọn mọ́ ara wọn ní méjì méjì. Ó mú ètùfù iná, ó so ó mọ́ àwọn ìrù tí ó so pọ̀.
5 And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.
Ó fi iná ran àwọn ètùfù tí ó so náà, ó sì jọ̀wọ́ wọn lọ́wọ́ lọ sínú àwọn oko ọkà àwọn Filistini. Ó jó àwọn pòpóòrò ọkà tí ó dúró àti àwọn tí a dì ní ìtí, ìtí, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọgbà àjàrà àti olifi.
6 Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.
Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini béèrè pé, “Ta ni ó ṣe èyí?” Wọ́n dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Samsoni ará Timna ni, nítorí a gba ìyàwó rẹ̀ fún ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀.” Nítorí náà àwọn Filistini lọ wọ́n sì sun obìnrin náà àti baba rẹ̀.
7 But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
Samsoni sọ fún un pé, “Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ṣe èyí, èmi ó gbẹ̀san lára yín, lẹ́yìn náà èmi yóò sì dẹ́kun.”
8 And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam.
Ó kọlù wọ́n pẹ̀lú ìbínú àti agbára ńlá, ó sì pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú wọn. Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó lọ, ó sì dúró nínú ihò àpáta kan nínú àpáta Etamu.
9 Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
Àwọn ará Filistini sì dìde ogun sí Juda, wọ́n ti tan ara wọn ká sí agbègbè Lehi.
10 And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì béèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ fi wá gbóguntì wá?” Ìdáhùn wọn ni pé, “A wá láti mú Samsoni ní ìgbèkùn, kí a ṣe sí i bí òun ti ṣe sí wa.”
11 Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
Nígbà náà ni ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ọkùnrin láti Juda sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ihò àpáta nínú àpáta Etamu, wọ́n sì sọ fún Samsoni pé, “Kò ti yé ọ pé àwọn Filistini ní ń ṣe alákòóso lórí wa? Kí ni o ṣe sí wa?” Òun sì dáhùn pé, “Ohun tí wọ́n ṣe sí mi ni èmi náà ṣe sí wọn.”
12 And they said to him, We are come to bind thee and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me, that you will not kill me.
Wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa wá láti dè ọ́, kí a sì fi ọ́ lé àwọn Filistini lọ́wọ́.” Samsoni wí pé, “Ẹ búra fún mi pé, ẹ̀yin kì yóò fúnra yín pa mí.”
13 They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.
“Àwa gbà,” ni ìdáhùn wọn. “Àwa yóò kàn dè ọ́, àwa yóò sì fi ọ́ lé wọn lọ́wọ́, àwa kì yóò pa ọ́.” Wọ́n sì dé pẹ̀lú okùn tuntun méjì, wọ́n sì mú u jáde wá láti ihò àpáta náà.
14 Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.
Bí ó ti súnmọ́ Lehi, àwọn Filistini ń pariwo bí wọ́n ṣe ń tò bọ̀. Ẹ̀mí Olúwa bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára. Àwọn okùn ọwọ́ rẹ̀ dàbí òwú tí ó jóná, ìdè ọwọ́ rẹ̀ já kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
15 And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
Nígbà tí ó rí egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tuntun kan, ó mú un, ó sì fi pa ẹgbẹ̀rún ọkùnrin.
16 And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men.
Samsoni sì wí pé, “Pẹ̀lú egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan, mo sọ wọ́n di òkìtì kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́. Pẹ̀lú egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan, mo ti pa ẹgbẹ̀rún ọkùnrin.”
17 And when he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.
Nígbà tí ó dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ í sọ, ó ju egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ náà nù, wọ́n sì pe ibẹ̀ ní Ramati-Lehi (ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ pa).
18 Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.
Nítorí tí òǹgbẹ gbẹ ẹ́ gidigidi, ó ké pe Olúwa, wí pé, “Ìwọ ti fún ìránṣẹ́ ní ìṣẹ́gun tí ó tóbi yìí. Ṣé èmi yóò ha kú pẹ̀lú òǹgbẹ, kí èmi sì ṣubú sí ọwọ́ àwọn aláìkọlà ènìyàn?”
19 Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day.
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run la kòtò ìsun omi tí ó wà ní Lehi, omi sì tú jáde láti inú rẹ̀. Nígbà tí Samsoni mú mi tan, agbára rẹ̀ sì padà, ọkàn sì sọjí, fún ìdí èyí wọ́n pe ìsun omi náà ni. Ẹni Hakkore (orísun ẹni tí ó pe Ọlọ́run) èyí tí ó sì wà ní Lehi di òní.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samsoni ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli fún ogún ọdún ní àkókò àwọn ará Filistini.
