Judges 15
1 But it came to pass within a while after, 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.
Thuutha ũcio, ihinda-inĩ rĩa magetha ma ngano-rĩ, Samusoni akĩoya koori na agĩthiĩ gũceerera mũtumia wake. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũthiĩ ndoonye kanyũmba-inĩ ka mũtumia wakwa.” No ithe wa mũtumia ũcio akĩmũgiria atoonye kuo.
2 And her father said, I truly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray you, instead of her.
Ithe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndaarĩ na ma atĩ nĩwamũthũũrire biũ, ngĩkĩmũheana kũrĩ mũrataguo. Githĩ mwarĩ wa nyina ũrĩa mũnini ndakĩrĩ mũthaka kũrĩ we? Kĩmuoe ithenya rĩake.”
3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ Afilisti; ti-itherũ nĩngũmeka ũũru biũ.”
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the middle between two tails.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara, akĩnyiita mbwe magana matatũ, agĩciohithania mĩtingʼoe igĩrĩ igĩrĩ. Agĩcooka akĩoherera gĩcinga harĩ o mĩtingʼoe ĩyo ĩĩrĩ ĩĩrĩ,
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
akĩgwatia icinga icio mwaki na akĩrekereria mbwe icio ngano-inĩ ya Afilisti ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩgũnda. Agĩcina itĩĩa cia ngano ĩrĩa yarũgamĩtio mũgũnda na ngano ĩrĩa ĩtaarĩ ngethe, na agĩcina mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Rĩrĩa Afilisti mooririe atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wĩkĩte ũũ?” Makĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Samusoni, mũthoni-we wa mũndũ ũrĩa Mũtimina, tondũ mũtumia wake nĩaheirwo mũratawe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afilisti makĩambata na magĩcina mũtumia ũcio o na ithe nginya magĩkua.
7 And Samson said to them, Though you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Nake Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩ ũguo mweka, ndikũmũtigithĩria nginya ndĩĩrĩhĩrie kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelled in the top of the rock Etam.
Agĩkĩmatharĩkĩra na ũũru mũnene na akĩũraga aingĩ ao. Agĩcooka agĩikũrũka na agĩikara ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Nao Afilisti makĩambata na makĩamba hema kũu Juda, makĩaragana gũkuhĩ na Lehi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
Nao andũ a Juda makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mũũkĩte kũhũũrana na ithuĩ nĩkĩ?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte kũnyiita Samusoni, tũmwĩke o ta ũrĩa aatwĩkire.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ ngiri ithatũ kuuma Juda magĩikũrũka nginya ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu na makĩĩra Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtakũũranĩte atĩ Afilisti nĩo matwathaga? Nĩ atĩa ũtwĩkĩte?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmekĩte o ta ũrĩa maanjĩkire.”
12 And they said to him, We are come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that you will not fall on me yourselves.
Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte gũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ Afilisti.” Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩtei atĩ ti inyuĩ mũkũnjũraga.”
13 And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwetĩkĩra, ithuĩ no gũkuoha tũgũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ o. Ithuĩ tũtigũkũũraga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuoha na mĩkanda ĩĩrĩ mĩerũ na makĩmwambatia kuuma rwaro-inĩ rũu rwa ihiga.
14 And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily on him, and the cords that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie Lehi-rĩ, Afilisti acio magĩũka na kũrĩ we makĩanagĩrĩra. Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya mũno. Mĩkanda ĩrĩa oohetwo moko nayo ĩgĩtuĩkanga o ta ũguta mũhiũ, nayo mĩhĩndo ĩyo ĩkĩgũa kuuma moko-inĩ make.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Akĩona rũkambucu rwa ndigiri rũtaarĩ rũkũrũ, akĩrũhuria na akĩũraga andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps on heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Njũragĩte andũ na rũkambucu rwa ndigiri hĩba na hĩba. Njũragĩte andũ ngiri ĩmwe na rũkambucu rwa ndigiri.”
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 called that place Ramathlehi.
Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kwaria-rĩ, agĩte rũkambucu rũu; naho handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Ramathu-Lehi.
18 And he was sore thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Na tondũ aarĩ mũnyootu mũno, agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩũheete ndungata yaku ũhootani mũnene ũũ. No nginya rĩu ngue nĩ nyoota ngwe moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa mataruaga?”
19 But God split an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of there; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: why he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai agĩthikũria irima kũu Lehi, rĩkiuma maaĩ. Rĩrĩa Samusoni aanyuire, agĩcookererwo nĩ hinya na akĩarahũka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩthima kĩu gĩgĩtwo Eni-Hakore. Na kĩrĩ o ho kũu Lehi.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samusoni aatiirĩrĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Afilisti.
