Judges 15
1 And it comes to pass after [some] days, in the days of wheat-harvest, that Samson looks after his wife, with a kid of the goats, and says, “I go in to my wife, to the inner chamber”; and her father has not permitted him to go in,
Hathnukkhu hoi canga lahun navah, Samson ni hmaeca a sin teh, a yu a pâtam. Ahni ni, ka yu koe roe hanelah rakhan thung na kâen sak haw atipouh. Hatei, a na pa ni kâen han pasoung pouh hoeh.
2 and her father says, “I certainly said that you surely hated her, and I give her to your companion; is her younger sister not better than she? Please let her be to you instead of her.”
A na pa ni, ka canu hah na pahnawt toe telah ka pouk dawkvah, na hui koe yo ka poe toe. A nawngha teh ahni hlak a mei ahawi nahoehmaw. A hmau e yueng lah a nawngha ma lat lawih atipouh.
3 And Samson says of them, “I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing evil with them.”
Samson ni ahnimouh koe, atuteh, Filistinnaw heh patawnae puenghoi ka poe nakunghai, kai teh pathoe han awm hoeh toe telah atipouh.
4 And Samson goes and catches three hundred foxes, and takes torches, and turns tail to tail, and puts a torch between the two tails, in the midst,
Hahoi teh, Samson a cei teh, Asuihu 300 touh a man teh, a mai dawk hmaito koung a kawm pouh.
5 and kindles fire in the torches, and sends [them] out into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burns [it] from heap even to standing grain, even to vineyard [and] olive-yard.
Hmaitonaw hah hmai a toteh, Filistinnaw e law um a yawng sak teh, cang hai thoseh, cabongnaw hai thoseh, misur takha, olive takhanaw hai thoseh koung a kak pouh.
6 And the Philistines say, “Who has done this?” And they say, “Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken away his wife, and gives her to his companion”; and the Philistines go up, and burn her and her father with fire.
Filistinnaw ni, het heh apimaw ka sak ati awh. Ahnimouh ni Timnah e cava Samson ni doeh ati awh. A yu a lawp awh teh, a hui a poe pouh awh dawkvah ati awh. Hahoi teh, Filistinnaw ni hote napui hoi a na pa im hmai ngeng a sawi pouh awh.
7 And Samson says to them, “Though you do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterward I cease!”
Samson ni hettelah na sak awh dawkvah, nangmouh koe let na pathung awh roeroe han. Hathnukkhu doeh duem kaawm ti atipouh.
8 And he strikes them hip and thigh [with] a great striking, and goes down and dwells in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
A cusin awh teh, buet touh hai hlout laipalah he a thei. Hahoi ka yawng ni teh Etam lungha kâko dawk a kâhro awh.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Hahoi Filistinnaw teh a takhang awh teh, Judah kho vah a roe awh. Lehi vah tueng a kâyat awh.
10 and the men of Judah say, “Why have you come up against us?” And they say, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
Hahoi Judahnaw ni bangkongmaw kaimouh tuk hanlah na tho awh atipouh awh. Ahnimouh ni, Samson man hane hoi, kaimouh ka tak dawk a sak e patetlah a tak dawk sak hanelah ka tho awh atipouh.
11 And three thousand men of Judah go down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and say to Samson, “Have you now known that the Philistines are rulers over us? And what [is] this you have done to us?” And he says to them, “As they did to me, so I did to them.”
Hottelah, Judahnaw 3,000 touh Etam lungha kâko dawk a yawng awh teh, Samson koevah, Filistinnaw ni na uk awh e heh na panuek awh hoeh maw telah ati. Ahni ni, ahnimouh koe kai ka tak dawk a sak e patetlah ka sak pouh e doeh telah ati.
12 And they say to him, “We have come down to bind you—to give you into the hand of the Philistines.” And Samson says to them, “Swear to me, lest you fall on me yourselves.”
Hatei, ahnimouh ni, ama koe Filistinnaw kut dawk na poe nahanelah, nang man hanelah, ka tho atipouh awh. Na thet mahoeh tie lawk kâkam ei telah atipouh awh.
13 And they speak to him, saying, “No, but we certainly bind you, and have given you into their hand, and we certainly do not put you to death”; and they bind him with two thick bands, new ones, and bring him up from the rock.
Ahnimouh ni na thet awh mahoeh. Hatei, kacaklah na katek awh vaiteh, a kut dawk na poe awh han telah atipouh awh. Hahoi tangron katha yung hni touh hoi a katek awh teh, lungsong koe hoi a takhangkhai awh.
14 He has come to Lehi—and the Philistines have shouted at meeting him—and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over him, and the thick bands which [are] on his arms are as flax which they burn with fire, and his bands are melted from off his hands,
Lehi a pha awh toteh, Filistinnaw a tho awh teh, a hramki sin awh. BAWIPA e Muitha a thakaawmpounge hah a tak dawk a pha teh, a kut dawk kateknae ruinaw pueng teh hmai hoi thoukthouk ka kang e patetlah a kut dawk hoi pak a ca pouh.
15 and he finds a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and puts forth his hand and takes it, and strikes down one thousand men with it.
La e a kamhru katha a pâphawng teh, hot hoi Filistinnaw 1,000 touh a thei.
16 And Samson says, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heap on heaps—I have struck down one thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey!”
Samson ni telah ati. La e kamhru hoi thouk ka mawk teh, La kamhru hoi tami 1,000 touh ka thei toe.
17 And it comes to pass, when he finishes speaking, that he casts away the jawbone out of his hand, and calls that place Ramath-Lehi;
Hottelah lawk a dei hnukkhu, la e kamhru a sin e hah a tâkhawng teh, hote hmuen teh Ramathlehi telah ati awh.
18 and he thirsts exceedingly, and calls to YHWH, and says, “You have given this great salvation by the hand of Your servant; and now, I die with thirst, and have fallen into the hand of the uncircumcised.”
Hahoi, tui hroung a kahran teh, BAWIPA hah a kaw. Nang ni na san e kut heh hno lahoi lentoe e lahoi na rungngang. Atu tui kahran lawi meimei ka due toe. Vuensom ka a hoeh naw e kut dawk maw kai ka kâpoe han toung.
19 And God cleaves the hollow place which [is] in Lehi, and waters come out of it, and he drinks, and his spirit comes back, and he revives; therefore [one] has called its name “The fountain of him who is calling,” which [is] in Lehi to this day.
Cathut ni Lehi hmuen koe a kavi pouh teh, tui a tâco. Hote a nei toteh, a kâha teh a tha bout akawi.
20 And he judges Israel in the days of the Philistines [for] twenty years.
Hottelah, Filistinnaw senah, Isarelnaw hah kum 20 touh a uk.
