Judges 14
1 And Samson goes down to Timnath, and sees a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines,
Samson nodhi Timna kendo noneno nyako ma pod tin ma nyar jo-Filistia.
2 and comes up and declares [it] to his father and to his mother, and says, “I have seen a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines; and now, take her for me for a wife.”
Kane odwogo to ne onyiso wuon-gi gi min-gi niya, “Aseneno nyar jo-Filistia modak Timna; omiyo koro kelnagouru obed chiega.”
3 And his father says to him—also his mother, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your brothers, and among all my people, that you are going to take a woman from the uncircumcised Philistines?” And Samson says to his father, “Take her for me, for she is right in my eyes.”
Wuon-gi gi min-gi nodwoke niya, “Donge nitiere nyako modimbore kuom wedeni kata kuom jowa duto? Ochuno ni nyaka idhi ir jo-Filistia ma ok oter nyangu mondo iyude dhako?” To Samson nowachone wuon-gi niya, “Miya gouru. En ema owinjore koda.”
4 And his father and his mother have not known that it [is] from YHWH, that He is seeking a meeting of the Philistines; and the Philistines are ruling over Israel at that time.
Jonywolne ne ok ongʼeyo ni ma en dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, mondo omi giyud thuolo mar kedo gi jo-Filistia; nimar e kindeno jo-Israel ne ni e bwo lochgi.
5 And Samson goes down—also his father and his mother, to Timnath, and they come to the vineyards of Timnath, and behold, a lion’s whelp roars at meeting him,
Samson nodhi Timna kaachiel gi wuon-gi kod min-gi. Kane gichiegni chopo e puoth mzabibu mar Timna, apoya nono nyathi sibuor nowuok karuto kochome tir.
6 and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over him, and he tears it as the tearing of a kid, and there is nothing in his hand, and he has not declared to his father and to his mother that which he has done.
Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome giteko mane oyiecho sibuor koni gi koni gi lwete nono mana kaka onyalo yiecho nyadiel. To ne ok onyiso wuon mare kata min mare gima ne osetimo.
7 And he goes down and speaks to the woman, and she is right in the eyes of Samson;
Eka nodhi mi owuoyo gi nyakono, kendo nohere.
8 and he turns back after [some] days to take her, and turns aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold, a swarm of bees [are] in the body of the lion—and honey.
Bangʼe achien, kane odhi mondo onywome, nolokore mondo one choke sibuor motho. E ringrene kanyo nopo koneno kich mochiek kochokore kuome,
9 And he takes it down on to his hands, and goes on, going and eating; and he goes to his father, and to his mother, and gives to them, and they eat, and he has not declared to them that he took down the honey from the body of the lion.
mi nowuodho pet kiny motimo mo, mi nochamo kodhi. Kane oriwore gi jonywolne kendo, nomiyogi matin, kendo gin bende negichamo. To ne ok onyisogi nine ogolo mor kichno e choke sibuor motho.
10 And his father goes down to the woman, and Samson makes a banquet there, for so the young men does;
Wuon-gi nodhi mondo one nyakono. Kendo Samson noloso nyasi kanyo, nikech mano ema ne en kit wuowi madwaro nyombo.
11 and it comes to pass, when they see him, that they take thirty companions, and they are with him.
Kane ochopo, to ne omiye jochungʼ piero adek.
12 And Samson says to them, “Now let me put forth a riddle to you; if you certainly declare it to me [in] the seven days of the banquet, and have found [it] out, then I have given thirty linen shirts and thirty changes of garments to you;
Samson nowachonegi niya, “We agonue ngero moro. Ka unyalo miya dwoko bangʼ ndalo abiriyo mar nyasini, to anamiu kandhe piero adek gi lewni mabeyo bende piero adek.”
13 and if you are not able to declare [it] to me, then you have given thirty linen shirts and thirty changes of garments to me.” And they say to him, “Put forth your riddle, and we hear it!”
Ka ok unyal miya dwoko, to nyaka umiya kandhe piero adek gi lewni mabeyo bende piero adek. Negiwachone niya, “Nyiswa ngero mari mondo wawinji.”
14 And he says to them: “Out of the eater came forth something to eat, And out of the strong came forth [something] sweet”; and they were not able to declare the riddle [in] three days.
Nodwoko niya, “Gima ichamo nowuok kuom jocham ji; gima mit nowuok kuom ratego.” Kuom ndalo adek ne ok ginyal chiwo dwoko.
15 And it comes to pass, on the seventh day, that they say to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he declare the riddle to us, lest we burn you and the house of your father with fire; have you not called for us [here] to rob us?”
E odiechiengʼ mar angʼwen, neginyiso chi Samson niya, “Hoo chwori mondo onyiswa tiend ngerono, ka ok kamano, to wabiro wangʼi kaachiel gi od wuonu duto nyaka utho. Ne iluongowa kae mondo imawa?”
16 And Samson’s wife weeps for it and says, “You have only hated me, and have not loved me; you have put forth the riddle to the sons of my people, but have not declared it to me”; and he says to her, “Behold, I have not declared [it] to my father and to my mother—and I declare [it] to you?”
Eka chi Samson nodirore kuome, koywak, “Ok idwara! Ok ihera. Isemiyo joga ngero, to pod ok inyisa tiende.” Samson nodwoke niya, Wachni pod ok anyiso wuonwa kata minwa, “angʼo momiyo nyaka anyisi tiende?”
17 And she weeps for it the seven days [in] which their banquet has been, and it comes to pass on the seventh day that he declares [it] to her, for she has distressed him; and she declares the riddle to the sons of her people.
Noywak odiechienge abiriyo duto mar nyasi. Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo nonyise, nikech nosiko mana kokase. Bangʼe nonyiso joge tiend ngerono.
18 And the men of the city say to him on the seventh day, before the sun goes in: “What [is] sweeter than honey? And what [is] stronger than a lion?” And he says to them: “Unless you had plowed with my heifer, You had not found out my riddle.”
Kane chiengʼ pod ok opodho e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo, jo-dalano nowachone niya, “En angʼo mamit moloyo mor kich? En angʼo maratego moloyo sibuor?” Samson nowachonegi niya, “Kane ok upuro gi nyarocha, to dine ok uyudo tiend ngeroni.”
19 And the Spirit of YHWH prospers over him, and he goes down to Ashkelon, and strikes down thirty of their men, and takes their armor, and gives the changes to those declaring the riddle; and his anger burns, and he goes up to the house of his father;
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko. Nodhi Ashkelon, monego ji piero adek ma omagi gigegi mi ochiwo kandhe ne jogo mane owacho tiend ngero. Nodhi e od wuon ka en gi mirima.
20 and Samson’s wife becomes his companion’s, who had attended to him.
Chi Samson nomi osiepne mane jachungʼne kokendo.
