< Judges 15 >

1 But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said: 'I will go in to my wife into the chamber.' But her father would not suffer him to go in.
Ary nony afaka kelikely, tamin’ ny taom-pijinjana ny vary tritika, dia nitondra zanak’ osy Samsona ho entiny mamangy ny vadiny, ka hoy izy: Hiditra ao amin’ ny vadiko ao an-efi-trano aho. Nefa tsy namela azy hiditra ny rafozany,
2 And her father said: 'I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion; is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.'
fa hoy izy: Nataoko fa halanao mihitsy izy, ka dia nomeko ho an’ ny namanao; moa tsy tsara tarehy noho izy va ny zandriny? Masìna ianao, aoka izy halainao ho solony.
3 And Samson said unto them: 'This time shall I be quits with the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.'
Dia hoy Samsona taminy: Tsy hanan-tsiny aho izao, na dia hanisy ratsy ny Filistina aza.
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
Dia nandeha Samsona ka nisambotra amboahaolo telon-jato; dia naka zavatra hatao fanilo izy, ary nampifanendreny ny rambon’ ny amboahaolo tsiroaroa avy ka nafehiny teo anelanelan’ ny rambony ilay hatao fanilo.
5 And when he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing corn, and also the oliveyards.
Ary rehefa nampirehetiny ny fanilo, dia nalefany ho any amin’ ny varin’ ny Filistina ireny, ka nandoro ny amboara sy ny vary mbola mitsangana ary ny voli-oliva koa.
6 Then the Philistines said: 'Who hath done this?' And they said: 'Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion.' And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Ary hoy ny Filistina: Iza no nanao izany? Ary nisy nanao hoe: Samsona, vinanton’ ilay Timnita, satria ny rafozany efa nanome ny vadiny ho an’ ny sakaizany. Dia niakatra ny Filistina ka nandoro an-dravehivavy sy ny ankohonan-drainy tamin’ ny afo.
7 And Samson said unto them: 'If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.'
Ary hoy Samsona taminy: Raha manao tahaka izany ianareo, dia mbola hamaly anareo tokoa aho, koa rehefa afaka izany, vao hitsahatra aho.
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Dia namely azy izy ka nahatapaka ranjo sy fe ary nahafaty be dia be; dia nidina izy ka nitoetra teo an-tsefatsefak’ ilay harambato mitresaka any Etama.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves against Lehi.
Ary niakatra ny Filistina, dia nitoby teo amin’ ny Joda ka niely tany Lehy.
10 And the men of Judah said: 'Why are ye come up against us?' And they said: 'To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.'
Ary hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda: Nahoana no miakatra hamely anay ianareo? Dia hoy izy Hamatotra an’ i Samsona no niakaranay, mba hanao aminy tahaka izay efa nataony taminay.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson: 'Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that thou hast done unto us?' And he said unto them: 'As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.'
Dia nandeha ny lehilahy telo arivo amin’ ny Joda nankany amin’ ilay tsefatsefaky ny harambato mitresaka any Etama ka nanao tamin’ i Samsona hoe: Tsy fantatrao va fa manapaka antsika ny Filistina? Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? Dia hoy izy taminy: araka izay nataony tamiko no mba nataoko taminy.
12 And they said unto him: 'We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines.' And Samson said unto them: 'Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.'
Dia hoy kosa izy ireo taminy: Hamatotra anao no nidinanay, mba hatolotray ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina ianao. Dia hoy Samsona taminy: Mianiana amiko ary fa tsy hamely ahy ianareo.
13 And they spoke unto him, saying: 'No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but surely we will not kill thee.' And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Dia niteny taminy izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Tsia; fa hamatotra anao fotsiny ihany izahay ka hanolotra anao eo an-tànany; fa tsy hamono anao tsy akory izahay. Dia namatotra azy tamin’ ny mahazaka roa vaovao izy ka nitondra azy niala tamin’ ilay harambato.
14 When he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him; and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Ary raha tonga tany Lehy izy, dia nanakora azy ny Filistina; ary ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah nilatsaka taminy, dia tonga tahaka ny rongony izay nodorana tamin’ ny afo ny mahazaka teny amin’ ny sandriny ary afaka tamin’ ny tànany ny fatorana.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith.
Ary nahita valanoranom-boriky vaovao izy, dia naninjitra ny tànany naka azy, ka iny no namonoany arivo lahy.
16 And Samson said: With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I smitten a thousand men.
Ary hoy Samsona: Tamin’ ny valanoranom-boriky no nahafatesako ho antontany iray, eny, antontany roa; Tamin’ ny valanoranom-boriky no nahafatesako arivo lahy.
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
Ary rehefa nitsahatra niteny izy, dia nariany ilay valanoranom-boriky teny an-tànany; ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia natao hoe Ramata-lehy.
18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said: 'Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of Thy servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?'
Ary nangetaheta indrindra izy, dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Hianao no nanome izao famonjen-dehibe izao tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanomponao; ary ankehitriny efa ho fatin-ketaheta aho ka hianjera ho eo an-tànan’ ny tsy mifora!
19 But God cleaved the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came back, and he revived; wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
Dia nampitresahin’ Andriamanitra ilay fitoerana hoboka tany Lehy, ka niboiboika teo ny rano; ary rehefa nisotro izy, dia nody ny ainy, ka velona Izy; ka izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe En-hakore, izay any Lehy mandraka androany.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Dia nitsara ny Isiraely roa-polo taona tamin’ ny andron’ ny Filistina izy.
