Judges 14
1 Nowe Samson went downe to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims,
Na rĩrĩ, Samusoni agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ Timina, na kũu akĩona mũirĩtu Mũfilisti.
2 And he came vp and told his father and his mother and saide, I haue seene a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims: now therfore giue me her to wife.
Acooka mũciĩ, akĩĩra ithe na nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete mũndũ-wa-nja Mũfilisti kũu Timina; rĩu-rĩ, ngũrĩrai we atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
3 Then his father and his mother sayde vnto him, Is there neuer a wife among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou must go to take a wife of the vncircumcised Philistims? And Samson sayd vnto his father, Giue mee her, for she pleaseth me well.
Ithe na nyina makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũtarĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũngĩĩtĩkĩrĩka gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a mũhĩrĩga wanyu o na kana gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ aitũ othe? No nginya ũthiĩ kwa Afilisti acio mataruaga ũgĩĩre mũtumia kuo”? No Samusoni akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Ngũrĩra ũcio. Ũcio nowe ũnjagĩrĩire.”
4 But his father and his mother knewe not that it came of the Lord, that he should seeke an occasion against the Philistims: for at that time the Philistims reigned ouer Israel.
(Aciari ake matiamenyaga atĩ ũndũ ũcio woimĩte kũrĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wacaragia handũ ha kũrutia Afilisti amokĩrĩre, nĩ ũndũ hĩndĩ ĩyo Afilisti nĩo maathaga Isiraeli.)
5 Then went Samson and his father and his mother downe to Timnath, and came to ye vineyardes at Timnath: and beholde, a young Lyon roared vpon him.
Samusoni agĩikũrũka Timina marĩ hamwe na ithe na nyina. Na rĩrĩa makuhĩrĩirie mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ ya Timina-rĩ, o rĩmwe kĩana kĩa mũrũũthi gĩgĩũka na kũrĩ we kĩmũraramĩire.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon him, and he tare him, as one should haue rent a kid, and had nothing in his hand, neither told he his father nor his mother what he had done.
Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya nginya agĩtarũranga mũrũũthi ũcio na moko matheri o ta ũrĩa angĩtarũranga koori. No ndaigana kwĩra ithe o na kana nyina ũrĩa ekĩte.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman which was beautifull in the eyes of Samson.
Nake agĩcooka agĩikũrũka makĩaranĩria na mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio, na akĩmwenda.
8 And within a fewe dayes, when he returned to receiue her, he went aside to see the karkeis of the Lion: and behold, there was a swarme of bees, and hony in the body of the Lyon.
Thuutha ũcio, rĩrĩa aacookaga akamũhikie-rĩ, agĩkerũra oone kĩimba kĩa mũrũũthi ũcio. Thĩinĩ wakĩo haarĩ na mũrumbĩ wa njũkĩ na ũũkĩ,
9 And he tooke therof in his handes, and went eating, and came to his father and to his mother, and gaue vnto them, and they did eate: but hee told not them, that he had taken the hony out of the body of the lyon.
ũrĩa aatahire na hĩ, agĩthiĩ akĩrĩĩaga. Na rĩrĩa aakinyĩrire aciari ake, akĩmagaĩra ũũkĩ ũcio o nao makĩũrĩa. Nowe ndaigana kũmeera atĩ aarutĩte ũũkĩ ũcio kĩimba-inĩ kĩa mũrũũthi.
10 So his father went down vnto the woman, and Samson made there a feast: for so vsed the yong men to doe.
Na rĩrĩ, ithe agĩikũrũka akoone mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Nake Samusoni akĩrugithia iruga kũu, o ta ũrĩa warĩ mũtugo wa ahikania.
11 And when they sawe him, they brought thirtie companions to be with him.
Na rĩrĩa andũ maamuonire, makĩmũhe aanake mĩrongo ĩtatũ maikare nake.
12 Then Samson sayd vnto them, I will nowe put forth a riddle vnto you: and if you can declare it me within seuen dayes of the feast, and finde it out, I will giue you thirty sheetes, and thirtie change of garments.
Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rekei ndĩmũgwatie ndaĩ, muona mwamĩtaũra mĩthenya-inĩ ĩno mũgwanja ya iruga-rĩ, nĩngamũhe nguo cia gatani mĩrongo ĩtatũ na nguo cia kũgarũrĩra mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
13 But if you cannot declare it mee, then shall yee giue mee thirty sheetes and thirtie change of garments. And they answered him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may heare it.
Mwaremwo nĩ kũmĩtaũra-rĩ, no nginya mũũhe nguo cia gatani mĩrongo ĩtatũ, na nguo cia kũgarũrĩra mĩrongo ĩtatũ.” Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta gĩtũgwatie ndaĩ ĩyo yaku, tũmĩigue.”
14 And he sayd vnto them, Out of the eater came meate, and out of the strong came sweetenesse: and they could not in three dayes expound the riddle.
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kuuma nyamũ ndĩani, gũkiuma kĩndũ kĩngĩrĩĩo; kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ ĩrĩ hinya, gũkiuma kĩndũ kĩrĩ mũrĩo.” Na handũ ha mĩthenya ĩtatũ, matiahotete kũmĩtaũra.
15 And when the seuenth day was come, they said vnto Samsons wife, Entise thine husband, that he may declare vs the riddle, lest wee burne thee and thy fathers house with fire. Haue ye called vs, to possesse vs? is it not so?
Naguo mũthenya wa ĩna wakinya, makĩĩra mũtumia wa Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Heenereria mũthuuriguo nĩguo atũtaũrĩre ndaĩ ĩyo, kana tũgũcine wee na nyũmba ya thoguo nginya mũkue. Anga mũtwĩtĩte gũkũ nĩguo mũtũtunye indo ciitũ?”
16 And Samsons wife wept before him, and said, Surely thou hatest mee and louest mee not: for thou hast put forth a riddle vnto the children of my people, and hast not told it mee. And hee sayd vnto her, Beholde, I haue not told it my father, nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
Nake mũtumia wa Samusoni akĩĩgũithia harĩ we, akĩrĩraga akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũthũire! Wee ndũnyendete o na atĩa. Ũgwatĩtie andũ aitũ ndaĩ, na nĩũregete kũndaũrĩra ndaĩ ĩyo.” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na baba na maitũ ndimataũrĩire, wee-rĩ, ngũgĩgũtaũrĩra nĩkĩ?”
17 Then Samsons wife wept before him seuen dayes, while their feast lasted: and when the seuenth day came he tolde her, because she was importunate vpon him: so she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Akĩrĩra mĩthenya ĩyo yothe mũgwanja ya iruga rĩu, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja Samusoni akĩmumbũrĩra, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aikarire akĩmũringagĩrĩria. Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩcooka agĩtaarĩria andũ ao ndaĩ ĩyo.
18 And the men of ye citie sayde vnto him the seuenth day before the Sunne went downe, What is sweeter then honie? and what is stronger then a lyon? Then sayd hee vnto them, If yee had not plowed with my heiffer, yee had not found out my riddle.
Riũa rĩtanathũa mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja, andũ a itũũra rĩu makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩrĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩrĩ hinya gũkĩra mũrũũthi?” Nake Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Korwo mũtinarĩma na moori yakwa-rĩ, mũtingĩahota gũtaũra ndaĩ yakwa.”
19 And the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he went downe to Ashkelon, and slew thirtie men of them and spoyled them, and gaue chaunge of garments vnto them, which expounded the riddle: and his wrath was kindled, and he went vp to his fathers house.
Nake Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩa Samusoni na hinya mũno. Nake agĩikũrũka nginya Ashikeloni, akĩũraga andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ akuo, akĩmatunya indo ciao, na akĩheana nguo ciao kũrĩ arĩa maataũrĩte ndaĩ ĩyo. Na akĩambata agĩthiĩ gwa ithe mũciĩ arakarĩte mũno.
20 Then Samsons wife was giuen to his companion, whom he had vsed as his friend.
Nake mũtumia ũcio wa Samusoni akĩheanwo kũrĩ mũratawe ũrĩa wamũrũgamĩrĩire ũhiki-inĩ wake.
