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,
Sima na mwa mikolo, na eleko oyo bakataka ble, Samison azwaki mwana ntaba mpe akendeki kotala mwasi na ye. Alobaki: — Nalingi kokota na shambre epai wapi mwasi na ngai alalaka. Kasi tata ya mwasi na ye apesaki ye nzela te.
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.”
Alobaki na Samison: — Nakanisaki penza ete olingaka ye te, yango wana nabalisaki ye epai ya moko kati na baninga na yo, oyo obengisaki na feti. Tala leki na ye ya mwasi, aleki ye na kitoko te? Zwa ye kaka.
3 And Samson says of them, “I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing evil with them.”
Samison alobaki na bango: — Ya mbala oyo, nakozala ata na ngambo moko te liboso ya bato ya mokili ya Filisitia; nakeyi kosala bango mabe.
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,
Samison abimaki mpe akangaki bambwa ya zamba nkama misato, akangisaki yango mibale-mibale na mikila mpe atiaki koni na kati-kati ya mikila mibale-mibale ya bambwa yango.
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.
Apelisaki koni yango mpe atikaki bambwa ya zamba kati na bilanga ya ble ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo esili kokomela. Atumbaki maboke ya ble oyo batiaki na mipiku mpe ble oyo babukaki nanu te, banzete ya vino mpe banzete ya olive.
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.
Bato ya Filisitia batunaki: — Nani asali boye? Bazongiselaki bango: — Ezali Samison, bokilo ya moto moko ya Timina; pamba te abalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga oyo Samison abengisaki na feti. Bato ya Filisitia bakendeki mpe batumbaki mwasi yango elongo na tata na ye kino bakufaki.
7 And Samson says to them, “Though you do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterward I cease!”
Samison alobaki na bango: « Lokola bosali boye, nakotika te kino nakozongisela bino mabe na mabe. »
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.
Samison abundisaki bango mpe abomaki ebele kati na bango. Bongo akendeki mpe avandaki kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Etami.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na etuka ya Yuda, bapanzanaki kino na etuka ya Leyi.
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.”
Bato ya Yuda batunaki: — Mpo na nini boyei kobundisa biso? Bato ya Filisitia bazongiselaki bango: — Toyei kokanga Samison na basinga mpo ete tosala ye ndenge asalaki biso.
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.”
Bato nkoto misato ya Yuda bakendeki na lidusu ya mabanga ya Etami, mpe balobaki na Samison: — Oyebi te ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kokonza biso? Likambo nini osali biso? Samison azongisaki: — Nazongiseli bango makambo oyo bango basalaki ngai.
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.”
Bato ya Yuda balobaki na Samison: — Toyei mpo na kokanga yo na basinga mpe kokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia. Samison alobaki na bango: — Bolapa ndayi liboso na ngai ete bokoboma ngai te bino moko.
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.
Bato ya Yuda bazongisaki: — Iyo! Tokoboma yo te. Tolingi kaka kokanga yo na basinga mpe kokaba yo na maboko na bango. Bongo bakangaki ye na basinga mibale ya sika mpe babimisaki ye na lidusu ya mabanga.
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,
Tango bakomaki pembeni ya etuka ya Leyi, bato ya Filisitia bayaki kokutana na ye na koganga. Molimo na Yawe akitelaki ye na nguya, mpe basinga oyo ekangaki maboko na ye ekatanaki lokola basinga ya lino oyo eziki na moto, mpe ekweyaki wuta na maboko na ye.
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.
Samison amonaki mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, asembolaki loboko na ye, alokotaki mokuwa yango mpe abomaki na yango bato nkoto moko.
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!”
Samison alobaki: « Na mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, nakangisi bango mipiku na mipiku; na mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, nabomi bato nkoto moko. »
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;
Tango asilisaki koloba, abwakaki mokuwa yango mosika mpe apesaki esika yango kombo « Ramati-Leyi. »
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.”
Lokola azalaki na posa makasi ya mayi, asambelaki Yawe: « Opesi mosali na Yo elonga oyo monene; boni, nakufa sik’oyo na posa ya mayi mpe nakweya na maboko ya bato oyo bakatama ngenga te? »
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.
Bongo Nzambe afungolaki libanga oyo ezalaki kati na Leyi, mpe libanga yango ebimisaki mayi. Tango Samison amelaki mayi, makasi na ye ezongaki mpe azwaki lisusu bomoi. Boye abengaki etima yango Eyini-Akore.
20 And he judges Israel in the days of the Philistines [for] twenty years.
Samison akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale, wana bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza mokili.
