Judges 14
1 Nowe Samson went downe to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims,
Samsin gbadara nʼobodo Timna ebe ọ hụrụ otu nwaagbọghọ onye Filistia.
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.
Mgbe ọ lọtara nʼụlọ, ọ gwara nne na nna ya, “Ahụrụ m otu nwanyị nʼime Timna sitere nʼụmụ ndị inyom Filistia; ugbu a, lụtara m ya na nwunye.”
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.
Nne na nna ya zara ya, “Ọ bụ na ọ dịghị nwanyị dị nʼetiti ndị inyom ụmụnne gị, maọbụ nʼetiti ndị anyị niile? Gịnị mere o ji bụrụ nʼetiti ndị Filistia a na-ebighị ugwu ka i si lụtara onwe gị nwunye?” Ma Samsin sịrị nna ya, “Gaa lụtara m ya. Nʼihi na o ziri ezi nʼanya m.”
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.
(Nne na nna ya aghọtaghị na aka Onyenwe anyị dị nʼọlụlụ nwunye a Samsin chọrọ ịlụ. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-achọ ụzọ ọ ga-esi megide ndị Filistia, ndị na-achị ụmụ Izrel nʼoge ahụ.)
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.
Samsin na nne na nna ya gawara obodo Timna maka ọlụlụ nwanyị a. Mgbe ha na-erute ubi vaịnị dị obodo Timna nso, otu nwa ọdụm sitere nʼọhịa mapụta, gbọrọ ụja na-abịakwute Samsin.
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.
Nʼotu oge ahụ, Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị Samsin nʼike. O jekwuuru ọdụm ahụ, were aka ya abụọ dọwaa ya ọnụ, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nwa ewu. Ma Samsin agwaghị nne na nna ya ihe mere.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman which was beautifull in the eyes of Samson.
Ma mgbe ha bịaruru Timna, Samsin na nwaagbọghọ ahụ kparịtara ụka. Ihe banyere nwaagbọghọ ahụ dị Samsin ezi mma.
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.
Ọ laghachiri mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gasịrị ka ọ kpọrọ ya. Ma mgbe ọ tụgharịrị ka ọ hụ ozu ọdụm ahụ, ọ hụrụ na igwe aṅụ bizi nʼime ozu ọdụm ahụ, na-emepụtakwa mmanụ aṅụ.
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.
Ọ kọpụtara mmanụ aṅụ ahụ tinye nʼaka ya, malite ịracha ka ọ na-aga nʼụzọ. Mgbe ọ bịakwutere nne na nna ya, o nyebinyere ha ụfọdụ, ha onwe ha rachakwara ya. Ma ọ gwaghị ha na o wetara ya site nʼozu ọdụm.
10 So his father went down vnto the woman, and Samson made there a feast: for so vsed the yong men to doe.
Nna ya gara ịhụ nwanyị ahụ ma Samsin kpọkọtara ụmụ okorobịa obodo ahụ meere ha oriri dịka omenaala ha sị di.
11 And when they sawe him, they brought thirtie companions to be with him.
Mgbe Samsin rutere, a kpọnyere ya ndị bịara mmemme ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri atọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin gwara ha okwu sị ha, “O nwere ajụjụ, gwa m, gwa m, gwa m, m chọrọ ka unu kọwaara m. Ọ bụrụ na unu enwee ike kọwaa ya, site taa ruo nʼụbọchị asaa nke mmemme a, aga m enye unu iri uwe mwụda atọ, nyekwa unu iri uwe mwụda atọ ọzọ akpara akpa.
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.
Ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu enweghị ike kọwaa ya, unu ga-enye m iri uwe mwụda atọ, na iri uwe mwụda atọ akpara akpa.” Ha niile kwenyere sị, “Ọ dị mma. Kwuo ka anyị nụ.”
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.
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ihe oriri si nʼime onye na-eri eri na-apụta, ọzọkwa, ihe dị ụtọ si nʼime onye dị ike pụta.” Mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị, ha enwebeghịkwa ike kọwaa ya.
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?
Ma nʼụbọchị nke anọ, ha jekwuuru nwunye Samsin gwa ya okwu sị, “Chọọ ụzọ rafụta di gị ọnụ, ka ọ gwa gị ihe okwu a pụtara. Ma ọ bụghị ya, anyị ga-akpọ gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị ọkụ. Ọ bụ ịnapụ anyị ihe anyị nwere ka unu ji kpọọ anyị oku bịa nʼebe?”
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?
Mgbe ahụ nwunye Samsin buuru onwe ya tụọ nʼelu ahụ ya, nʼebe akwa, sị, “Ị kpọrọ m asị! Nʼezie, ị hụghị m nʼanya. Ị tụụrụ ndị m ilu, ma ị gwaghị m ọsịsa ya.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Lee, agwaghị m nne na nna m, ọ bụkwa gị ka m ga akọwara ya?”
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.
Ma nwanyị ahụ kwagidere akwa abalị asaa ha nọ na mmemme ahụ. Nʼikpeazụ, nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Samsin kọwaara ya okwu ahụ nʼihi na ọ nọgidere na-enye ya nsogbu. Nwanyị ahụ gakwara kọwaara ụmụ okorobịa obodo ihe okwu ahụ pụtara.
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.
Ma tupu anwụ adaa nʼụbọchị nke asaa ahụ, ndị ikom obodo ahụ sịrị ya, “Olee ihe dị ụtọ karịa mmanụ aṅụ? Gịnị dịkwa ike karịa ọdụm?” Ma Samsin zara sị ha, “A sị na unu enyeghị nwa ehi m nsogbu, unu agaraghị enwe ike kọwaa ya.”
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.
Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị ya. O sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ, gaa nʼobodo Ashkelọn. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ tigbuo iri mmadụ atọ, napụ ha uwe ha niile, chịrị ha chịnye ndị ahụ kọwaara ya ilu ahụ. Ma site nʼoke iwe, o laghachiri nʼụlọ nna ya.
20 Then Samsons wife was giuen to his companion, whom he had vsed as his friend.
E duuru nwunye Samsin dunye enyi Samsin ka ha abụọ bụrụ di na nwunye.
