Judges 14
1 And Samson goes down to Timnath, and sees a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines,
Samsin gbadara nʼobodo Timna ebe ọ hụrụ otu nwaagbọghọ onye 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.”
Mgbe ọ lọtara nʼụlọ, ọ gwara nne na nna ya, “Ahụrụ m otu nwanyị nʼime Timna sitere nʼụmụ ndị inyom Filistia; ugbu a, lụtara m ya na nwunye.”
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.”
Nne na nna ya zara ya, “Ọ bụ na ọ dịghị nwanyị dị nʼetiti ndị inyom ụmụnne gị, maọbụ nʼetiti ndị anyị niile? Gịnị mere o ji bụrụ nʼetiti ndị Filistia a na-ebighị ugwu ka i si lụtara onwe gị nwunye?” Ma Samsin sịrị nna ya, “Gaa lụtara m ya. Nʼihi na o ziri ezi nʼanya m.”
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.
(Nne na nna ya aghọtaghị na aka Onyenwe anyị dị nʼọlụlụ nwunye a Samsin chọrọ ịlụ. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-achọ ụzọ ọ ga-esi megide ndị Filistia, ndị na-achị ụmụ Izrel nʼoge ahụ.)
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,
Samsin na nne na nna ya gawara obodo Timna maka ọlụlụ nwanyị a. Mgbe ha na-erute ubi vaịnị dị obodo Timna nso, otu nwa ọdụm sitere nʼọhịa mapụta, gbọrọ ụja na-abịakwute Samsin.
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.
Nʼotu oge ahụ, Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị Samsin nʼike. O jekwuuru ọdụm ahụ, were aka ya abụọ dọwaa ya ọnụ, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nwa ewu. Ma Samsin agwaghị nne na nna ya ihe mere.
7 And he goes down and speaks to the woman, and she is right in the eyes of Samson;
Ma mgbe ha bịaruru Timna, Samsin na nwaagbọghọ ahụ kparịtara ụka. Ihe banyere nwaagbọghọ ahụ dị Samsin ezi mma.
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.
Ọ laghachiri mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gasịrị ka ọ kpọrọ ya. Ma mgbe ọ tụgharịrị ka ọ hụ ozu ọdụm ahụ, ọ hụrụ na igwe aṅụ bizi nʼime ozu ọdụm ahụ, na-emepụtakwa mmanụ aṅụ.
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.
Ọ kọpụtara mmanụ aṅụ ahụ tinye nʼaka ya, malite ịracha ka ọ na-aga nʼụzọ. Mgbe ọ bịakwutere nne na nna ya, o nyebinyere ha ụfọdụ, ha onwe ha rachakwara ya. Ma ọ gwaghị ha na o wetara ya site nʼozu ọdụm.
10 And his father goes down to the woman, and Samson makes a banquet there, for so the young men does;
Nna ya gara ịhụ nwanyị ahụ ma Samsin kpọkọtara ụmụ okorobịa obodo ahụ meere ha oriri dịka omenaala ha sị di.
11 and it comes to pass, when they see him, that they take thirty companions, and they are with him.
Mgbe Samsin rutere, a kpọnyere ya ndị bịara mmemme ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri atọ.
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;
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin gwara ha okwu sị ha, “O nwere ajụjụ, gwa m, gwa m, gwa m, m chọrọ ka unu kọwaara m. Ọ bụrụ na unu enwee ike kọwaa ya, site taa ruo nʼụbọchị asaa nke mmemme a, aga m enye unu iri uwe mwụda atọ, nyekwa unu iri uwe mwụda atọ ọzọ akpara akpa.
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!”
Ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu enweghị ike kọwaa ya, unu ga-enye m iri uwe mwụda atọ, na iri uwe mwụda atọ akpara akpa.” Ha niile kwenyere sị, “Ọ dị mma. Kwuo ka anyị nụ.”
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.
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Ihe oriri si nʼime onye na-eri eri na-apụta, ọzọkwa, ihe dị ụtọ si nʼime onye dị ike pụta.” Mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị, ha enwebeghịkwa ike kọwaa ya.
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?”
Ma nʼụbọchị nke anọ, ha jekwuuru nwunye Samsin gwa ya okwu sị, “Chọọ ụzọ rafụta di gị ọnụ, ka ọ gwa gị ihe okwu a pụtara. Ma ọ bụghị ya, anyị ga-akpọ gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị ọkụ. Ọ bụ ịnapụ anyị ihe anyị nwere ka unu ji kpọọ anyị oku bịa nʼebe?”
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?”
Mgbe ahụ nwunye Samsin buuru onwe ya tụọ nʼelu ahụ ya, nʼebe akwa, sị, “Ị kpọrọ m asị! Nʼezie, ị hụghị m nʼanya. Ị tụụrụ ndị m ilu, ma ị gwaghị m ọsịsa ya.” Ọ sịrị ya, “Lee, agwaghị m nne na nna m, ọ bụkwa gị ka m ga akọwara ya?”
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.
Ma nwanyị ahụ kwagidere akwa abalị asaa ha nọ na mmemme ahụ. Nʼikpeazụ, nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Samsin kọwaara ya okwu ahụ nʼihi na ọ nọgidere na-enye ya nsogbu. Nwanyị ahụ gakwara kọwaara ụmụ okorobịa obodo ihe okwu ahụ pụtara.
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.”
Ma tupu anwụ adaa nʼụbọchị nke asaa ahụ, ndị ikom obodo ahụ sịrị ya, “Olee ihe dị ụtọ karịa mmanụ aṅụ? Gịnị dịkwa ike karịa ọdụm?” Ma Samsin zara sị ha, “A sị na unu enyeghị nwa ehi m nsogbu, unu agaraghị enwe ike kọwaa ya.”
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;
Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, Mmụọ Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị ya. O sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ, gaa nʼobodo Ashkelọn. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ tigbuo iri mmadụ atọ, napụ ha uwe ha niile, chịrị ha chịnye ndị ahụ kọwaara ya ilu ahụ. Ma site nʼoke iwe, o laghachiri nʼụlọ nna ya.
20 and Samson’s wife becomes his companion’s, who had attended to him.
E duuru nwunye Samsin dunye enyi Samsin ka ha abụọ bụrụ di na nwunye.
