< 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.
Samson teh Timnah kho vah a cei teh, Filistinnaw e a canu napui buet touh a hmu.
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."
A manu hoi na pa koe a dei pouh. Timnah vah, Filistin tami napui buet touh ka hmu. Hatdawkvah, ka yu lah na lat pouh loe telah atipouh.
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."
A manu hoi na pa niyah, na hmaunawnghanaw ni canu a tawn hoeh dawk maw, vuensom ka a hoeh e Filistin tami thung dawk e hah na yu lah khuet na tawng, telah atipouh. Samson ni, na lat pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh ka ngai poung telah atipouh.
4 But his father and his mother did not know that it was of YHWH, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
Hatei, a manu hoi na pa ni hot teh, BAWIPA koehoi e doeh tie hah panuek roi hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Filistinnaw hanelah atueng a kâremnae a tawngnae doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnae tueng nah Filistinnaw ni Isarelnaw hah a uk.
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.
Hottelah, Samson teh a manu hoi na pa hoi Timnah vah a cei awh. Timnah misur hmuen koe a pha awh navah, sendektan ni hramki laihoi a cusin awh.
6 And the Spirit of YHWH 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.
BAWIPA Muitha ni a tha kaawm poung lahoi a tak dawk a pha. A kut dawk banghai sin hoeh ei, hmaeca raphei e patetlah a raphei teh a thei. Hatei, a sak e hah a manu hoi na pa koe banghai dei pouh hoeh.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
A cei teh hote tangla hoi a kâpan roi teh Samson mit dawk hote napui teh atueng.
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.
Hathnukkhu hoi la hanelah a cei navah, Sendek e ro teh khet hanelah a phen teh, khenhaw! Sendek e a ro dawkvah khoi ao, a ratui hai ao.
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.
Hot teh, a la teh, a cei laihoi a ca. A manu hoi na pa hai a poe. Hatei, khoitui teh Sendek dawk e a la e tie hah dei pouh hoeh.
10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
Hahoi, a na pa teh hote napui koe a cei teh, thoundounnaw ni ouk a sak awh e patetlah, Samson ni pawi bu a paca awh.
11 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Hahoi teh, hettelah doeh. Haw e taminaw ni Samson a hmu torei teh, a huinaw 30 touh ni a kâbang sin awh.
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.
Samson ni kai ni pâveinae lawk buet touh na pacei awh han. Pawi sak hnin hnin sari hnin na dei thai awh pawiteh, kai ni hni yung 30, angki yung 30 na poe awh han.
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."
Hatei, na dei thai awh hoehpawiteh, hnin yung 30, angki yung 30 nangmouh ni kai na poe awh han atipouh. Ahnimouh ni hote ka panuek thai nahanelah, pâveinae lawk hah na dei pouh haw atipouh awh.
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.
Hat toteh, ahni ni a dei pouh, kacatkung thung hoi cakawi a tâco teh, athakaawme dawk hoi ka radip e a tâco. Hote pâveinae hah hnin thum touh thung dei thai awh hoeh.
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?"
Hatei, hnin sari hnin Samson e yu koevah, pâveinae hah ka panue thai awh nahan, na vâ hah pasawt haw. Telah hoehpawiteh, nang nama hoi na pa imthungkhu abuemlah hmai ngeng na sawi awh han. Ka tawn awh e hnonaw hah lawp hanelah na coun e namaw telah Samson e yu koe atipouh awh.
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?"
Hottelah, Samson e a yu teh, a hmalah thouk a ka teh, kai lung na pataw hoeh teh, na hmawt ngai hoeh toe khe, ka taminaw na pâvei teh, kai koehai na dei kalawn hoeh atipouh. Samson ni anu hoi apa patenghai ka dei pouh hoeh, nang koe khuet ka dei han yaw maw atipouh.
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.
Hahoi, pawi ao hoehnahlan, hnin sari touh thung a yu ni a khuika sin. Napui ni kâhat laipalah pou a pacei toteh, napui koe a dei pouh toe. Hahoi teh, napui ni hote pâveinae lawk hah amamouh kho e a taminaw koe a dei pouh toe.
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."
A khocanaw teh asari hnin kanî a loum hoehnahlan a tho awh teh, khoitui hlak bangmaw ka radip, Sendek hlak athakaawme bangmaw kaawm telah a dei pouh awh. Samson ni, nangmouh ni kaie maitola hoi na thawn awh hoeh pawiteh, kaie pâveinae teh na dei thai awh mahoeh, atipouh.
19 The Spirit of YHWH 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.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA Muitha heh a tha kaawm poung lah Samson koe a pha teh, Askelon vah a cei teh, tami 30 touh a thei. Angki hoi hninaw a lawp teh, pâveinae lawk ka dei thai naw koe a poe. Hahoi a lung puenghoi a phuen teh, a na pa im lah a ban.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Hahoi Samson e a yu teh, a hui hah oun a poe pouh awh.
