< 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,
Tok kutu, ke pacl in kosrani lun wheat, Samson el us nani fusr soko ac som in osun nu sin mutan kial ah. El fahk nu sin papa talupal, “Nga lungse utyak nu ke infukil lun mutan kiuk ah.” Tusruktu papa sac tia lela.
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.”
El fahk nu sel Samson, “Nga pangon kom srungalla na pwaye, oru nga eisalang nu sin kawuk se lom ah. Tusruktu tamtael fusr se wial inge el kato lukel. Kom ku in eisal elan aolulla.”
3 And Samson says of them, “I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing evil with them.”
Na Samson el fahk, “Inge, nga finne oru kutu ma upa nu sin mwet Philistia, ac fah wangin mwetik kac.”
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,
Na el som ac sruokya kosro fox tolfoko ac kapriya pulalos kais lukwa, ac sang kahp in e nu kac.
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.
Na el akosak kahp inge ac fuhlelosla in ima in wheat lun mwet Philistia ah. Ouinge wheat ma elos kosrani tari ac wheat ma srakna kapak in ima ah, firiryak nufon, oayapa sak olive wi pac folla.
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.
Ke mwet Philistia elos siyuk lah su oru ma inge, na fwackyang nu selos lah Samson pa oru uh, mweyen papa talupal el tuh eisalang mutan kial Samson nu sin kawuk se lal Samson ah. Ouinge mwet Philistia elos som ac esukak lohm sin papa sac, na mutan sac ac sou lal nufon misa.
7 And Samson says to them, “Though you do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterward I cease!”
Samson el fahk nu selos, “Fin pa inge orekma lowos uh, nga fulahk lah nga fah tiana tui nwe ke na nga aksafyela foloksak luk nu suwos!”
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.
El oru sie mweun na upa, ac onela mwet puspis selos. Na el som ac muta in luf se ke eot fulat in Etam.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Mwet Philistia elos tuku ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Judah, ac elos mweuni acn Lehi.
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.”
Mwet Judah elos siyuk selos, “Efu ku kowos tuku mweuni kut?” Na elos fahk, “Kut tuku in sruokilya Samson in folokin nu sel ma el oru nu sesr.”
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.”
Na tausin tolu sin mwet Judah inge som nu ke luf se ke eot fulat in Etam ac fahk nu sel Samson, “Ya kom nikin lah mwet Philistia elos pa leum facsr uh— Mea se kom oru nu sesr inge?” Na el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ma na elos oru nu sik ah pa nga oru oapana nu selos.”
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.”
Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kut tuku in kaprikomi tuh kut in eiskomyang nu inpaolos.” Na Samson el fahk, “Fulahk nu sik lah kowos ac tia sifacna uniyuwi.”
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.
Na elos fahk, “Aok, kut ac tia unikomi. Kut ac kaprikomi na, ac eiskomyang nu selos.” Ouinge elos kaprilya ke sucl sasu lukwa ac pwanulak liki eot fulat sac.
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,
Ke el sun acn Lehi, mwet Philistia elos sasa ac kasrusr tuku nu yorol. In kitin pacl ah na, ku lun LEUM GOD putati nu facl, ac el wotyalik sucl ma kapriya paol oana luman turet ma firirla tari, ac mwe kapir putatla liki paol.
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.
Na el konauk srin oalin donkey soko ma tufahna misa, ac el srukak ac sang onela sie tausin mwet kac.
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!”
Na Samson el on ac fahk, “Ke srin oalin donkey soko, nga uniya sie tausin mwet; Ke srin oalin donkey soko, nga elosak yolin mwet.”
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;
Tukun ma inge, el sisla sri soko ah, na pangpang acn se ma inge sikyak we ah Ramath Lehi.
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.”
Na Samson el arulana malu, ouinge el pang nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Kom ase kutangla na lulap se inge nu sik. Ya pwaye nga ac misa ke sripen malu, ac putatyang nu inpoun mwet pegan?”
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.
Na God El ikaselik sie acn oalal infohk uh in acn Lehi, ac kof unonak kac me. Ke Samson el nimkofi ngunal folokyang, na el sifilpa kui. Ouinge unon in kof se inge pangpang En-Hakkore, ac srakna oasr in acn Lehi nwe misenge.
20 And he judges Israel in the days of the Philistines [for] twenty years.
Samson el tuh nununku mwet Israel yac longoul, ke pacl se mwet Israel elos muta ye poun mwet Philistia.
