< Judges 14 >

1 Nowe Samson went downe to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims,
Ary Samsona nidina nankany Timna ka nahita vehivavy tao avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina.
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.
Ary niakatra izy, dia nilaza tamin-drainy sy reniny hoe: Efa nahita vehivavy tany Timna avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina aho; koa alao ho vadiko izy ankehitriny.
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.
Fa hoy ny rainy sy ny reniny taminy: Moa tsy misy vehivavy va eto amin’ ny zana-kavanao, na ato amin’ ny firesako rehetra, no dia mandeha maka vady any amin’ ny Filistina tsy mifora ianao? Dia hoy Samsona tamin-drainy: Izy ihany no alao ho ahy, fa izy no mahafinaritra ahy.
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.
Fa tsy fantatry ny rainy sy ny reniny fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah izany, satria nitady izay hiadiany tamin’ ny Filistina Izy; fa tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina no nanapaka ny Isiraely.
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.
Dia nidina Samsona sy ny rainy aman-dreniny nankany Timna. Ary nony tonga tao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka tany Timna izy, indro, nisy liona tanora nierona taminy.
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.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ary ilay liona tanora dia nosamatsamahiny hoatra ny fanasamaka zanak’ osy, nefa tsy nisy na inona na inona teny an-tànany; ary tsy nambarany tamin’ ny rainy na tamin’ ny reniny izay efa nataony.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman which was beautifull in the eyes of Samson.
Dia nidina izy ka niresaka tamin-dravehivavy; ary nahafinaritra an’ i Samsona izy.
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.
Ary rehefa afaka kelikely, dia niverina hampakatra azy Samsona ka nivily hizaha ny fatin’ ilay liona; ary, indro, nisy reni-tantely nivangongo sy tantely tao amin’ ilay fatin’ ny liona.
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.
Ary nalain’ i Samsona izany ka nentiny teny an-tànany, dia nihinana teny am-pandehanana izy; ary nankany amin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny izy, dia nanome azy, ka nihinana koa izy mivady; nefa tsy nambarany taminy fa tao amin’ ny fatin’ ilay liona no nangalany ny tantely.
10 So his father went down vnto the woman, and Samson made there a feast: for so vsed the yong men to doe.
Dia nidina ho any amin-dravehivavy ny rain’ i Samsona; ary nanao fanasana teo Samsona, fa izany no fanaon’ ny zatovo.
11 And when they sawe him, they brought thirtie companions to be with him.
Ary rehefa nahita azy izy mianakavy, dia nametraka namana telo-polo lahy hitoetra ao aminy.
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.
Ary hoy Samsona tamin’ ireo: Hanao fampanonona aminareo aho; koa raha lazainareo amiko ny heviny ao anatin’ ny hafitoana fanasana ka fantatrareo, dia homeko lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova ianareo.
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.
Fa raha tsy mahalaza amiko kosa ianareo, dia homenareo lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova aho. Dia hoy izy ireo: Ataovy ary ny fampanonona mba hohenoinay.
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.
Dia hoy Samsona aminy: Avy tao amin’ ny mpihinana no nivoahan’ ny hanina; Ary avy tao amin’ ny mahery no nivoahan’ ny mamy. Dia tsy nahalaza ny fampanonona izy tao anatin’ ny hateloana.
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?
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vadin’ i Samsona: Taomy ny vadinao hilaza ny fampanonona aminay, fandrao hodoranay amin’ ny afo ianao sy ny ankohonan-drainao; efa nanasa anay va ianareo ho entinareo mifafa izay anananay? Moa tsy izany va?
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?
Ary ny vadin’ i Samsona dia nitomany teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Halanao aho, fa tsy tianao tsy akory; efa nanao fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneko ianao, nefa tsy nolazainao tamiko ny heviny. Fa hoy izy taminy: Indro, na dia ny raiko sy ny reniko aza tsy nilazako azy, ka ianao va no hilazako?
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.
Dia nitomany teo anatrehany tamin’ ny hafitoana izay nisian’ ny fanasana ravehivavy; ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nolazain’ i Samsona taminy, satria nitorikisina taminy izy; ary izy kosa nilaza ny fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneny.
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.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, raha tsy mbola maty ny masoandro, dia hoy ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna tamin’ i Samsona: Inona no mamy noho ny tantely; Ary inona no mahery noho ny liona? Ary hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tsy nampiasa ny ombivavikeliko ianareo. Dia tsy ho nahalala ny fampanonona nataoko.
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.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah ka nidina nankany Askelona izy, dia namono telo-polo lahy tao, ary nalainy ny fitafian’ ireo ka nomeny ho an’ izay nilaza ny fampanonona. Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Samsona, ka niakatra nankany amin’ ny tranon-drainy izy.
20 Then Samsons wife was giuen to his companion, whom he had vsed as his friend.
Ary ny vadiny dia lasan’ ny namany, izay efa nataony sakaizany.
