Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
I HO aku la o Samesona i Timenata, a ike aku la i kekahi wahine ma Timenata, no na kaikamahine a ko Pilisetia.
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.
Pii mai la ia, a hai mai la i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, i mai la, Ua ike au i kekahi wahine ma Timenata, no na kaikamahine a ko Pilisetia; nolaila ea, e kii aku ia ia, i wahine na'u.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
I aku la kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine ia ia, Aole anei he wahine iwaena o na kaikamahine o kou poe hoahanau, a me kou poe kanaka a pau, i hele aku ai oe, e lawe i wahine no ka poe okipoepoe ole ia o ko Pilisetia? I mai la o Samesona i kona makuakane, E kii aku ia ia na'u, no ka mea, ua pono ia i ko'u mau maka.
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.
Aole i ike kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, na Iehova mai ia mea, no kona imi hala ana no i ko Pilisetia. Ia manawa e noho lanakila ana ko Pilisetia maluna o ka Iseraela.
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.
Alaila, iho aku la o Samesona, a me kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine i Timenata, a hiki i na pawaina o Timenata; uwo mai la kekahi liona opiopio, i kona halawai ana me ia.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon 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.
Kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a haehae iho la oia ia ia, e like me ka haehae ana o ke kaokeiki, aohe mea ma kona lima; aole hoi ia i hai aku i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, i ka mea ana i hana'i.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Iho aku la ia, a kamailio pu iho la me ua wahine la; a ua pono ia i na maka o Samesona.
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.
A mahope iho hoi mai la ia e lawe ia ia, kipa ae la ia e nana i ke kino o ka liona; aia hoi, he poe nalomeli, a me ka meli pu maloko o ke kino o ua liona la.
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.
Lalau aku la kona mau lima ia mea, a i ka hele ana, hele no ia e ai ana, a hiki i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a haawi aku la ia laua, a ai iho la laua; aole nae ia i hai aku ia laua, i kona lawe ana i ka meli, mailoko aku o ke kino o ka liona.
10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Iho aku la kona makuakane i ua wahine la, a malaila i hana'i o Samesona i ahaaina palala; no ka mea, pela i hana'i na kanaka ui.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
A ike lakou ia ia, lawe lakou i kanakolu hoa, e noho pu ai me ia.
12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if all of 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:
I aku la o Samesona ia lakou, E nanenane aku au ia oukou, a ina e koho mai oukou ia ia'u, i keia mau la ehiku o ka ahaaina ana, a loaa pono, alaila, e haawi aku au ia oukou i kanakolu palule, a me na paa kapa he kanakolu.
13 But if all of you cannot declare it me, then shall all of you give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.
Aka, ina aole hiki ia oukou ke hai mai ia'u, alaila, na oukou e haawi mai ia'u, i kanakolu palule, a me na paa kapa he kanakolu. I mai la lakou ia ia, E nane mai oe, i lohe makou.
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 expound the riddle.
I aku la oia ia lakou, Mailoko mai o ka mea e ai ana i puka mai ai ka ai, a mailoko mai hoi o ka mea ikaika, i loaa mai ai ka ono. A i na la ekolu, aole hiki ia lakou, ke koho mai ia ia i ua nane la.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: have all of you called us to take that we have? is it not so?
A i ka hiku o ka la, i ae la lakou i ka wahine a Samesona, E hoowalewale oe i kau kane, i hai mai ai oia ia kakou i ka nane, o puhi auanei makou ia oe, a me ka hale o kou makuakane i ke ahi. Ua kii mai anei oukou ia makou e hoohune ia makou, aole anei?
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 unto the children of my people, and have not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it you?
Uwe iho la ka wahine a Samesona imua ona, i aku la ia ia, Ke hoowahawaha wale mai nei oe ia'u, aole aloha mai ia'u. Ua nanenane mai oe i na keiki a ko'u poe kanaka, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u. I mai la kela ia ia, Aia hoi, aole au i hai aku i ko'u makuakane, a me ko'u makuwahine, a e hai anei au ia oe?
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 upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
A ia mau la ehiku o ka lakou ahaaina ana, uwe iho la oia imua ona; a i ka hiku o ka la, hai mai la kela ia ia, no ka mea, koi ikaika loa mai la ia ia; a hai ae la ka wahine i ua nane la i na keiki a kona poe kanaka.
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 all of you had not plowed with my heifer, all of you had not found out my riddle.
A i ka hiku o ka la, aole i komo ka la, i mai la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia ia, Heaha ka mea i oi aku ka ono mamua o ka meli? a heaha hoi ka mea i oi aku ka ikaika mamua o ka liona? I aku la keia ia lakou, Ina aole oukou i oopalau me ka'u bipi wahine opiopio, ina ua loaa ole ia oukou ka'u nane.
19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
Kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a iho aku la ia i Asekelona, a pepehi iho la i kanakolu kanaka o lakou, a lawe i ko lakou lole, a haawi ae la i paa kapa no ka poe i hai mai i ka nane. Wela iho la kona huhu, a pii aku la ia i ka hale o kona makuakane.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Lilo ae la ka wahine a Samesona i kona hoa, ana i hoolauna aku ai.
