Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Samson te Timnah la a suntlak vaengah huta pakhat, Philisti nu te Timnah ah a hmuh.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said: 'I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore get her for me to wife.'
Te dongah ha bal tih a napa neh a manu taengah a thui pah tih, “Timnah ah Philisti nu huta ka hmuh tih anih te kai yuu la han lo laeh,” a ti nah.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him: 'Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?' And Samson said unto his father: 'Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.'
Tedae a napa neh a manu loh, “Na manuca kah tanu lakli neh ka pilnam cungkuem lakli ah om pawt tih a Philisti pumdul te yuu la loh ham tekah huta te na paan eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae a napa taengah Samson loh, “Ka mik loh a nai coeng dongah anih mah kai ham han lo laeh,” a ti nah.
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
Te vaeng tue ah Philisti loh Israel a ngol thil dongah BOEIPA loh Philisti taengah a tuetang a dawn te Samson kah a napa neh a manu loh ming pawh.
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
Samson loh a manu a napa te Timnah la a suntlak puei tih Timnah misur a pha uh vaengah tah sathueng khuikah sathuengca loh samson cuuk thil ham tarha kawk.
6 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as one would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
BOEIPA Mueihla loh Samson te a thaihtak sak dongah maae ca a baeh bangla sathueng te a baeh tih, a kut dongah pakhat khaw kap pawh. Tedae a saii te a manu a napa taengah thui pawh.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Suntla tih huta taengah a cal vaengah mah Samson mik dongah thuem.
8 And after a while he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
Khohnin a thok phoeiah a yuu te loh ham a mael vaengah sathueng a cungkunah te sawt ham a phael hatah sathueng rhok dongah khoi ana bop tih khoitui te lawt a hmuh.
9 And he scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went, and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.
Te dongah khoi te a kut neh a poh tih a caeh, a caeh doela a caak. A manu a napa taengah a pha vaengah amih rhoi te khaw a paek tih a caak rhoi. Tedae sathueng rhok khui lamkah khoitui a poh te amih rhoi taengah thui pawh.
10 And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Te phoeiah huta taengah a napa te cet tih tongpang rhoek loh a saii uh noek bangla Samson loh buhkoknah pahoi a saii.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Anih te a hmuh uh vaengah baerhoep sawmthum a khuen uh tih anih taengah om uh.
12 And Samson said unto them: 'Let me now put forth a riddle unto you; if ye can declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
Amih te Samson loh, “Nangmih taengah ka thui olkael he buhkoknah hnin rhih khuiah kai taengah han thui rhoela han thui uh. Na puk uh atah hni sawmthum neh thovaelnah himbai sawmthum te nangmih kam pae eh.
13 but if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment.' And they said unto him: 'Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.'
Tedae kai taengah na thui ham na coeng uh pawt atah kai he nangmih loh hni sawmthum neh thovaelnah himbai sawmthum nam paek uh van ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Samsawn te, “Na olkael te thui lamtah ka hnatun uh lah eh,” a ti uh.
14 And he said unto them: Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
Te phoeiah amih te aka hnom khui lamkah caak ha thoeng tih aka tlung khui lamkah didip ha thoeng,” a ti nah hatah olkael ming ham te hnin thum khuiah coeng uh thai voel pawh.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife: 'Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire; have ye called us hither to impoverish us?'
Hnin rhih a pha vaengah Samson yuu taengah, “Na va te hloih lamtah olkael te kaimih ham thui laeh saeh, namah neh na pa imkhui hmai neh kang hoeh uh ve, kaimih talh ham nim kaimih taengla nang khue,” a ti na uh.
16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said: 'Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and wilt thou not tell it me?' And he said unto her: 'Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?'
Te dongah Samson yuu te a taengah a rhah pah tih, “Kai nan nen tih nan lungnah pawt dongah ka pilnam khuikah ka nganpa rhoek te olkael neh na voek khaw kai taengah nan thui pawh,” a ti nah. Tedae Samson loh, “A nu a pa taengah pataeng ka thui pawt te nang taengah tarha ka thui aya?,” a ti nah.
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Amih ham buhkoknah a om duela hnin rhih khuiah samson te a rhah thil. Tedae a hnin rhih dongla a pha vaengah tah Samson te moelh a kilh dongah a yuu ham te a thui pah tih a yuu loh a pilnam khuikah a hlang rhoek taengah olkael te a thui pah.
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them: If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
Te dongah a hnin rhih dongah tah khopuei hlang rhoek loh vinhna bangla a hnai hlanah, “Khoitui lakah balae aka didip tih sathueng lakah balae aka tlung?,” a ti nah. Tedae amih te Samson loh, “Kai kah vaito neh na phayai uh pawt koinih ka olkael he na puk uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
19 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
BOEIPA Mueihla loh Samson te a thaihtak sak dongah Ashkelon la suntla tih hlang sawmthum a ngawn. Amih kah pumoep te a loh pah tih olkael aka thui rhoek te thovaelnah himbai te a paek. Tedae a thintoek a sai doeah a napa im la mael.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had had for his friend.
Samson yuu te anih taengah aka luem a baerhoep taengla a om pah.
