< Judges 14 >

1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
Ary Samsona nidina nankany Timna ka nahita vehivavy tao avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina.
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
Ary niakatra izy, dia nilaza tamin-drainy sy reniny hoe: Efa nahita vehivavy tany Timna avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina aho; koa alao ho vadiko izy ankehitriny.
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
Fa hoy ny rainy sy ny reniny taminy: Moa tsy misy vehivavy va eto amin’ ny zana-kavanao, na ato amin’ ny firesako rehetra, no dia mandeha maka vady any amin’ ny Filistina tsy mifora ianao? Dia hoy Samsona tamin-drainy: Izy ihany no alao ho ahy, fa izy no mahafinaritra ahy.
4 But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
Fa tsy fantatry ny rainy sy ny reniny fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah izany, satria nitady izay hiadiany tamin’ ny Filistina Izy; fa tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina no nanapaka ny Isiraely.
5 Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
Dia nidina Samsona sy ny rainy aman-dreniny nankany Timna. Ary nony tonga tao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka tany Timna izy, indro, nisy liona tanora nierona taminy.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ary ilay liona tanora dia nosamatsamahiny hoatra ny fanasamaka zanak’ osy, nefa tsy nisy na inona na inona teny an-tànany; ary tsy nambarany tamin’ ny rainy na tamin’ ny reniny izay efa nataony.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
Dia nidina izy ka niresaka tamin-dravehivavy; ary nahafinaritra an’ i Samsona izy.
8 After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
Ary rehefa afaka kelikely, dia niverina hampakatra azy Samsona ka nivily hizaha ny fatin’ ilay liona; ary, indro, nisy reni-tantely nivangongo sy tantely tao amin’ ilay fatin’ ny liona.
9 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
Ary nalain’ i Samsona izany ka nentiny teny an-tànany, dia nihinana teny am-pandehanana izy; ary nankany amin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny izy, dia nanome azy, ka nihinana koa izy mivady; nefa tsy nambarany taminy fa tao amin’ ny fatin’ ilay liona no nangalany ny tantely.
10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
Dia nidina ho any amin-dravehivavy ny rain’ i Samsona; ary nanao fanasana teo Samsona, fa izany no fanaon’ ny zatovo.
11 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Ary rehefa nahita azy izy mianakavy, dia nametraka namana telo-polo lahy hitoetra ao aminy.
12 Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
Ary hoy Samsona tamin’ ireo: Hanao fampanonona aminareo aho; koa raha lazainareo amiko ny heviny ao anatin’ ny hafitoana fanasana ka fantatrareo, dia homeko lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova ianareo.
13 But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
Fa raha tsy mahalaza amiko kosa ianareo, dia homenareo lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova aho. Dia hoy izy ireo: Ataovy ary ny fampanonona mba hohenoinay.
14 He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
Dia hoy Samsona aminy: Avy tao amin’ ny mpihinana no nivoahan’ ny hanina; Ary avy tao amin’ ny mahery no nivoahan’ ny mamy. Dia tsy nahalaza ny fampanonona izy tao anatin’ ny hateloana.
15 And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vadin’ i Samsona: Taomy ny vadinao hilaza ny fampanonona aminay, fandrao hodoranay amin’ ny afo ianao sy ny ankohonan-drainao; efa nanasa anay va ianareo ho entinareo mifafa izay anananay? Moa tsy izany va?
16 Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
Ary ny vadin’ i Samsona dia nitomany teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Halanao aho, fa tsy tianao tsy akory; efa nanao fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneko ianao, nefa tsy nolazainao tamiko ny heviny. Fa hoy izy taminy: Indro, na dia ny raiko sy ny reniko aza tsy nilazako azy, ka ianao va no hilazako?
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Dia nitomany teo anatrehany tamin’ ny hafitoana izay nisian’ ny fanasana ravehivavy; ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nolazain’ i Samsona taminy, satria nitorikisina taminy izy; ary izy kosa nilaza ny fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneny.
18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, raha tsy mbola maty ny masoandro, dia hoy ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna tamin’ i Samsona: Inona no mamy noho ny tantely; Ary inona no mahery noho ny liona? Ary hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tsy nampiasa ny ombivavikeliko ianareo. Dia tsy ho nahalala ny fampanonona nataoko.
19 The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah ka nidina nankany Askelona izy, dia namono telo-polo lahy tao, ary nalainy ny fitafian’ ireo ka nomeny ho an’ izay nilaza ny fampanonona. Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Samsona, ka niakatra nankany amin’ ny tranon-drainy izy.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Ary ny vadiny dia lasan’ ny namany, izay efa nataony sakaizany.
