Judges 15
1 Some time later when the wheat was being harvested, Samson went to pay his wife a visit, taking with him a young goat as a present. “I want to go to my wife in her bedroom,” he said when he arrived, but her father would not let him go in.
Tok kutu, ke pacl in kosrani lun wheat, Samson el us nani fusr soko ac som in osun nu sin mutan kial ah. El fahk nu sin papa talupal, “Nga lungse utyak nu ke infukil lun mutan kiuk ah.” Tusruktu papa sac tia lela.
2 “I thought you must totally hate her, so I gave her to your best man,” he told Samson. “But her younger sister is even more attractive—why don't you marry her instead?”
El fahk nu sel Samson, “Nga pangon kom srungalla na pwaye, oru nga eisalang nu sin kawuk se lom ah. Tusruktu tamtael fusr se wial inge el kato lukel. Kom ku in eisal elan aolulla.”
3 “This time I can't be blamed for the trouble I'm going to cause the Philistines,” Samson declared.
Na Samson el fahk, “Inge, nga finne oru kutu ma upa nu sin mwet Philistia, ac fah wangin mwetik kac.”
4 He went and caught three hundred foxes and tied their tails together, two by two.
Na el som ac sruokya kosro fox tolfoko ac kapriya pulalos kais lukwa, ac sang kahp in e nu kac.
5 He attached a torch to each of the tied tails and set them on fire. Then he let them loose in the grain fields of the Philistines, setting fire to all the grain, harvested and unharvested, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Na el akosak kahp inge ac fuhlelosla in ima in wheat lun mwet Philistia ah. Ouinge wheat ma elos kosrani tari ac wheat ma srakna kapak in ima ah, firiryak nufon, oayapa sak olive wi pac folla.
6 “Who did this?” the Philistines asked. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the man from Timnah,” they were told. “That man gave Samson's wife to Samson's best man.” So the Philistines went and burned her and her father to death.
Ke mwet Philistia elos siyuk lah su oru ma inge, na fwackyang nu selos lah Samson pa oru uh, mweyen papa talupal el tuh eisalang mutan kial Samson nu sin kawuk se lal Samson ah. Ouinge mwet Philistia elos som ac esukak lohm sin papa sac, na mutan sac ac sou lal nufon misa.
7 Samson told them, “If this is the way you're going to act, then I won't stop until I take my revenge on you!”
Samson el fahk nu selos, “Fin pa inge orekma lowos uh, nga fulahk lah nga fah tiana tui nwe ke na nga aksafyela foloksak luk nu suwos!”
8 He attacked them violently, killing them, and then left to go and live in a cave at the rock of Etam.
El oru sie mweun na upa, ac onela mwet puspis selos. Na el som ac muta in luf se ke eot fulat in Etam.
9 So the Philistine army came and camped in Judah, drawn up for battle near Lehi.
Mwet Philistia elos tuku ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Judah, ac elos mweuni acn Lehi.
10 The people of Judah asked, “Why have you invaded us?” “We've come to capture Samson, to do to him what he's done to us!” they replied.
Mwet Judah elos siyuk selos, “Efu ku kowos tuku mweuni kut?” Na elos fahk, “Kut tuku in sruokilya Samson in folokin nu sel ma el oru nu sesr.”
11 Three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam and asked Samson, “Don't you understand that the Philistines rule over us? What do you think you're doing to us?” “I only did what they did to me,” he replied.
Na tausin tolu sin mwet Judah inge som nu ke luf se ke eot fulat in Etam ac fahk nu sel Samson, “Ya kom nikin lah mwet Philistia elos pa leum facsr uh— Mea se kom oru nu sesr inge?” Na el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ma na elos oru nu sik ah pa nga oru oapana nu selos.”
12 “Well, we've come to take you prisoner and hand you over to the Philistines,” they told him. “Just swear to me that you're not going to kill me yourselves,” Samson answered.
Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kut tuku in kaprikomi tuh kut in eiskomyang nu inpaolos.” Na Samson el fahk, “Fulahk nu sik lah kowos ac tia sifacna uniyuwi.”
13 “No, we won't,” they assured him. “We'll only tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines. We certainly aren't going to kill you!” They tied him using two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
Na elos fahk, “Aok, kut ac tia unikomi. Kut ac kaprikomi na, ac eiskomyang nu selos.” Ouinge elos kaprilya ke sucl sasu lukwa ac pwanulak liki eot fulat sac.
14 When Samson got close to Lehi, the Philistines ran towards him, shouting at him. But the Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and the ropes tying his arms together became as weak as burnt flax, and his hands broke free.
Ke el sun acn Lehi, mwet Philistia elos sasa ac kasrusr tuku nu yorol. In kitin pacl ah na, ku lun LEUM GOD putati nu facl, ac el wotyalik sucl ma kapriya paol oana luman turet ma firirla tari, ac mwe kapir putatla liki paol.
15 He grabbed the fresh jawbone of a donkey, using it to kill a thousand Philistines.
Na el konauk srin oalin donkey soko ma tufahna misa, ac el srukak ac sang onela sie tausin mwet kac.
16 Then Samson declared, “With a donkey's jawbone I have piled the dead into heaps. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men.”
Na Samson el on ac fahk, “Ke srin oalin donkey soko, nga uniya sie tausin mwet; Ke srin oalin donkey soko, nga elosak yolin mwet.”
17 After Samson had finished his speech, he threw away the jawbone, and he named the place Hill of the Jawbone.
Tukun ma inge, el sisla sri soko ah, na pangpang acn se ma inge sikyak we ah Ramath Lehi.
18 He was now extremely thirsty, and he Samson called out to the Lord, saying, “You have achieved this amazing victory through your servant, but now do I have to die of thirst and be captured by the heathen?”
Na Samson el arulana malu, ouinge el pang nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Kom ase kutangla na lulap se inge nu sik. Ya pwaye nga ac misa ke sripen malu, ac putatyang nu inpoun mwet pegan?”
19 So God split open a rock seam in Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank and his strength returned—he felt much better. That's why he named it the Spring of the Caller, and it's still there in Lehi to this very day.
Na God El ikaselik sie acn oalal infohk uh in acn Lehi, ac kof unonak kac me. Ke Samson el nimkofi ngunal folokyang, na el sifilpa kui. Ouinge unon in kof se inge pangpang En-Hakkore, ac srakna oasr in acn Lehi nwe misenge.
20 Samson led Israel as judge for twenty years during the time of the Philistines.
Samson el tuh nununku mwet Israel yac longoul, ke pacl se mwet Israel elos muta ye poun mwet Philistia.
