Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
Samson teh Timnah kho vah a cei teh, Filistinnaw e a canu napui buet touh a hmu.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
A manu hoi na pa koe a dei pouh. Timnah vah, Filistin tami napui buet touh ka hmu. Hatdawkvah, ka yu lah na lat pouh loe telah atipouh.
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
A manu hoi na pa niyah, na hmaunawnghanaw ni canu a tawn hoeh dawk maw, vuensom ka a hoeh e Filistin tami thung dawk e hah na yu lah khuet na tawng, telah atipouh. Samson ni, na lat pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka ngai poung telah atipouh.
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
Hatei, a manu hoi na pa ni hot teh, BAWIPA koehoi e doeh tie hah panuek roi hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw hanelah atueng a kâremnae a tawngnae doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnae tueng nah Filistinnaw ni Isarelnaw hah a uk.
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
Hottelah, Samson teh a manu hoi na pa hoi Timnah vah a cei awh. Timnah misur hmuen koe a pha awh navah, sendektan ni hramki laihoi a cusin awh.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily on him, and he rent him as he 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.
BAWIPA Muitha ni a tha kaawm poung lahoi a tak dawk a pha. A kut dawk banghai sin hoeh ei, hmaeca raphei e patetlah a raphei teh a thei. Hatei, a sak e hah a manu hoi na pa koe banghai dei pouh hoeh.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
A cei teh hote tangla hoi a kâpan roi teh Samson mit dawk hote napui teh atueng.
8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
Hathnukkhu hoi la hanelah a cei navah, Sendek e ro teh khet hanelah a phen teh, khenhaw! Sendek e a ro dawkvah khoi ao, a ratui hai ao.
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
Hot teh, a la teh, a cei laihoi a ca. A manu hoi na pa hai a poe. Hatei, khoitui teh Sendek dawk e a la e tie hah dei pouh hoeh.
10 So his father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Hahoi, a na pa teh hote napui koe a cei teh, thoundounnaw ni ouk a sak awh e patetlah, Samson ni pawi bu a paca awh.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Hahoi teh, hettelah doeh. Haw e taminaw ni Samson a hmu torei teh, a huinaw 30 touh ni a kâbang sin awh.
12 And Samson said to them, I will now put forth a riddle to you: if you can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
Samson ni kai ni pâveinae lawk buet touh na pacei awh han. Pawi sak hnin hnin sari hnin na dei thai awh pawiteh, kai ni hni yung 30, angki yung 30 na poe awh han.
13 But if you cannot declare it me, then shall you give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said to him, Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.
Hatei, na dei thai awh hoehpawiteh, hnin yung 30, angki yung 30 nangmouh ni kai na poe awh han atipouh. Ahnimouh ni hote ka panuek thai nahanelah, pâveinae lawk hah na dei pouh haw atipouh awh.
14 And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
Hat toteh, ahni ni a dei pouh, kacatkung thung hoi cakawi a tâco teh, athakaawme dawk hoi ka radip e a tâco. Hote pâveinae hah hnin thum touh thung dei thai awh hoeh.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire: have you called us to take that we have? is it not so?
Hatei, hnin sari hnin Samson e yu koevah, pâveinae hah ka panue thai awh nahan, na vâ hah pasawt haw. Telah hoehpawiteh, nang nama hoi na pa imthungkhu abuemlah hmai ngeng na sawi awh han. Ka tawn awh e hnonaw hah lawp hanelah na coun e namaw telah Samson e yu koe atipouh awh.
16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not: you have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and have not told it me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it you?
Hottelah, Samson e a yu teh, a hmalah thouk a ka teh, kai lung na pataw hoeh teh, na hmawt ngai hoeh toe khe, ka taminaw na pâvei teh, kai koehai na dei kalawn hoeh atipouh. Samson ni anu hoi apa patenghai ka dei pouh hoeh, nang koe khuet ka dei han yaw maw atipouh.
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 lay sore on him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Hahoi, pawi ao hoehnahlan, hnin sari touh thung a yu ni a khuika sin. Napui ni kâhat laipalah pou a pacei toteh, napui koe a dei pouh toe. Hahoi teh, napui ni hote pâveinae lawk hah amamouh kho e a taminaw koe a dei pouh toe.
18 And the men of the city said to 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 to them, If you had not plowed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.
A khocanaw teh asari hnin kanî a loum hoehnahlan a tho awh teh, khoitui hlak bangmaw ka radip, Sendek hlak athakaawme bangmaw kaawm telah a dei pouh awh. Samson ni, nangmouh ni kaie maitola hoi na thawn awh hoeh pawiteh, kaie pâveinae teh na dei thai awh mahoeh, atipouh.
19 And the Spirit of the LORD came on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments to them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA Muitha heh a tha kaawm poung lah Samson koe a pha teh, Askelon vah a cei teh, tami 30 touh a thei. Angki hoi hninaw a lawp teh, pâveinae lawk ka dei thai naw koe a poe. Hahoi a lung puenghoi a phuen teh, a na pa im lah a ban.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Hahoi Samson e a yu teh, a hui hah oun a poe pouh awh.
