< 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.
Bangʼ kinde moko e ndalo mar kayo ngano, Samson nokawo nyadiel kendo nodhi limo chiege. Nowacho niya, “Adhi od nindo mar chiega.” To jaduongʼne ne ok nyal yiene mondo odonji.
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.
Nowachone niya, “Ne an-gi adieri ni ok idware, omiyo ne amiye osiepni. Donge nyamin mare matin ber neno moloye? En ema koro ikawe.”
3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Samson nowachonegi niya, “Koro an-gi ratiro mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; ma kata koro atimonegi marach to aonge gi ketho.”
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
Omiyo nowuok kendo nomako kibwe mia adek motweyogi gi iwgi ariyo ariyo. Bangʼe notweyo mach e yiw kibwego,
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.
bangʼe nomako mach e yiw kibwego mi oweyogi mondo gidonj e puothe mag jo-Filistia. Nowangʼo puothe moseka to gi mago mapodi, kaachiel gi puoth mzabibu kod puothe zeituni.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath 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.
Kane jo-Filistia openje niya, “En ngʼa motimo ma?” To nodwokgi niya, “En Samson, ma or ja-Timna, nikech chiege nomaye momi osiepne.” Omiyo jo-Filistia nodhi mowangʼo dhakono gi wuon-gi mi githo.
7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Samson nowachonegi niya, “Nikech usetimo gima kama, ok analingʼ nyaka achulnu kuor.”
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Nomonjogi gi mirima ahinya mi onego ji mangʼeny kuomgi. Bangʼe nodhi modak e rogo mar lwanda man Etam.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Jo-Filistia nowuok kendo ne gibworo chakre dala mar Juda nyaka Lehi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
Jo-Juda nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ubiro kedo kodwa?” Negidwokogi niya, “Wabiro mako Samson, mondo watimne kaka otimonwa.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
Eka ji alufu adek moa Juda nodhi e rogo mar lwanda man Etam ma giwachone Samson niya, “Bende ingʼeyo ni wan e bwo loch jo-Filistia? Ma angʼo ma isetimonwani?” Nodwoko niya, “Ne atimonegi mana gima gisetimona.”
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.
Negiwachone niya, “Wasebiro mondo watweyi kendo wachiwi e lwet jo-Filistia.” Samson nowacho niya, “Kwongʼrenauru ni un uwegi ok ununega.”
13 And they spake 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 cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Negidwoke niya, “Wayie. Wabiro mana tweyi bangʼe wachiwi e lwetgi. Ok wananegi.” Omiyo ne gitweye gi tonde ariyo manyien ma gigole oko mar lwanda.
14 [And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Kane ochiegni chopo Lehi, jo-Filistia nobiro kakok kochome. Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Tonde mane otweyego nochalo ka usi mowangʼ, kendo gik mane otweyego nolwar oa e lwete.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Noyudo chogo manyien mar lemb punda, nokawe kendo nonego ji alufu achiel.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Eka Samson nowacho niya, “Gi chogo mar lemb punda aselokogi punde mangʼeny. Gi chok lemb punda asenego ji alufu achiel.”
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 Ramath-lehi.
Kane osetieko wuoyo, nowito chok lemb punda; kendo kanyo nochaki ni Ramath Lehi.
18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Nikech riyo nohewe ahinya, noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Isemiyo jatichni loch maduongʼ kama. Tangʼ atho gi riyo kendo alwar e lwet joma ok oter nyangu?”
19 But God clave an hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En-hakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day.
Eka Nyasaye noyawo holo e Lehi, kendo pi nowuok kanyo. Kane Samson omodhe, tekone noduogo. Omiyo thidhiano nochako ni En Hakore, kendo pod entiere Lehi.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samson notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo e ndalo mag jo-Filistia.
