< Judges 15 >

1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
Ie añe, an-tsam-pamokarañe vare-bolè, te nanese vik’ ose amy vali’ey t’i Simsone; le hoe re: Te homb’ amy valiko an-traño’e añe. Fe tsy nimein-drae’e t‘ie hizilik’ ao,
2 Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
fa hoe ty rae’e: Toe nataoko t’ie niheje’o vintañe; le natoloko an-drañe’o; aa vaho tsy soa te ama’e ty zai’e? endeso hisolo aze.
3 Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo: Halio-tahiñe amo nte-Pilistio iraho henaneo, ndra t’ie hanolorako sotry.
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
Aa le tsinepa’ i Simsone ty fanaloke telon-jato, naho nandrambe failo; le nifanohize’e añ’ ohi’e añ’ohi’e vaho nanoa’e failo ty añivo’ ty ohy roe.
5 And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Narehe’e amy zao o failoo le navotso’e amy vare nizorazora’ o nte-Pilistiooy naho fonga finorototo’ iareo o fitoboro’eo naho o nizorazorao reketse ty tanem-bahe vaho ­olive.
6 Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
Le hoe o nte-Pilistio, Ia ty nanao zao? le hoe iereo: I Simsone, vinanto’ i nte-Timney, amy te nalae’e ty vali’e, vaho natolo’e amy mpandroro’ey. Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao o nte-Pilistio vaho nampangotomomohe’ iereo añ’afo re naho i rae’e.
7 Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo, Naho zao ty sata’ areo, le toe hamaleako kabò, vaho hitofa.
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Le linafa’e iereo an-kitsok’am-pe am-panjamanam-bey; vaho nizotso mb’ an-tevam-bato’ Etame mb’eo, nimoneñe ambone ey.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
Nionjom-beo naho nitobe e Iehoda ao o nte-Pilistio vaho nivelatse niatreatre i Lehý.
10 The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
Le hoe o nte-Iehodao: Ino ty nionjona’ areo haname anay? Le hoe iereo: Ty hamahotse i Simsone ty nionjona’ay, hanoe’ay ama’e i nanoa’e ama’aiy.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
Aa le nizotso mb’ an-tevam-bato’ i Etame mb’eo ty nte-Iehoda telo-arivo vaho nanao ty hoe amy Simsone: Tsy fohi’o hao te manan­­dily amantika o nte-Pilistio? Ino ze o nanoe’o ama’ay zao? Le hoe re: I nanoe’ iareo amakoy ty nanoeko am’ iereo.
12 They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
Le hoe iereo tama’e, Nizotso etoan-jahay hamahotse azo, hanese azo am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio. Le hoe t’i Simsone, Mifantà amako te tsy hiambotraha’ areo.
13 They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Le hoe iereo tama’e: Aiy: fa ho vihine’ay am-bahotse, le hatolo’ay am-pità’ iareo fa tsy ho vonoe’ay. Aa le vinaho’ iareo an-taly vao roe vaho nampiavote’ iareo amy vatoy,
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Ruach of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Ie nipoteake e Lehý eo, le rinambe’ o nte-Pilistio an-koràke; aa le nivotrak’ ama’e ty Arofo’ Iehovà, naho ninjare boka niforototoeñ’ afo o taly am-pità’eo, vaho nihitsañe o tali-randrañe an-tsira’eo.
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
Nahatrea taolam-balañoràm-borìke vao re, naho nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze le nanjamañe ondaty arivo,
16 Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
vaho hoe t’i Simsone: Amam-balañoràm-borìke, fitoboroñañe am-pitoboroñañe, valañoram-borìke ty nanjamanako ty arivo.
17 It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
Aa naho nagado’e i saontsi’ey le nahifim-pità’e añe i valañoray vaho natao ty hoe Ramate-Lehý i toetsey.
18 He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
Vata’e nitaliñieren-dre henane zay, le nikanjie’e t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Fa natolo’o am-pità’ ty mpitoro’o ty fandrombahañe ra’elahy; aa vaho ho vonoe’ ty aran-drano iraho henaneo hiforetrahako am-pità’ o tsy sinavatseo?
19 And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
Aa le tsineran’ Añahare i nangoake e Lehiy, le niakaran-drano; ie ninoñe le nibalike i arofo’ey vaho nisotrake; aa le natao En’hakorè ty ao; mbe e Lehý ao izay henanekeo.
20 He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Nizaka Israele roa-polo taoñe tañ’andro’ o nte-Pilistio re.
