< 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.
Sie len ah Samson el tufoki som nu Timnah, ac el liyauk sie mutan fusr Philistia we.
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."
Ke el folokla nu yen sel ah el fahk nu sin papa tumal ac nina kial, “Nga tuh liyauk mutan fusr Philistia se in acn Timnah. Usalu ngan payukyak sel.”
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."
Na papa tumal ac nina kial eltal siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom suk sie mutan pegan kiom yurin mwet Philistia— Mea wanginna mutan inmasrlon mwet in ota lasr uh kom in eis kiom?” Ac Samson el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Usalu! El na pa nga lungse uh.”
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.
Papa tumal ac nina kial Samson tiana akilen lah LEUM GOD pa kolol Samson ke sulela se lal inge, ke sripen LEUM GOD El suk sie pacl wo in mweuni mwet Philistia. Mweyen ke pacl se inge, mwet Philistia elos leum fin mwet Israel ah.
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.
Na Samson el tufoki nu Timnah wi papa tumal ac nina kial. Ke elos fahsr ke ima in grape in acn Timnah, Samson el lohngak pusren lion soko ngutngut.
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.
Na ngun lun LEUM GOD sa na sikyang in el ac sang ku lulap nu sel, na el sang na paol ac eiya lion soko ah oana in nani fusr soko. Tusruktu el tiana akkalemye ma el oru inge nu sin papa tumal ku nina kial.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
Na el som ac sramsram nu sin mutan sac, ac el arulana insewowo sel.
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.
Kutu len toko, Samson el sifilpa som nu we tuh elan payuk sin mutan sac. Ke el srakna fahsr nu we, el srola liki inkanek ah tuh elan liye lion soko ma el uniya ah. Na el lut ke el liye loanginyeir ac honey ke monin lion soko ah.
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.
Na el lafusak honey inge nu inpaol, ac el fahsr kang inkanek ah. Ke el sun papa tumal ac nina kial ah, el sang kutu naltal, tusruktu el tiana fahk nu seltal lah ma el eis liki monin lion soko ma misa ah.
10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
Na papa tumal ah som nu lohm sin mutan fusr sac, ac Samson el orala sie kufwa we, tuh mukul fusr elos oru ouinge in pacl sac.
11 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Ke mwet Philistia elos liyal Samson, elos supwala mukul fusr tolngoul in muta yorol.
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.
Na Samson el fahk nu seltal, “Nga ac fahk ma se inge, na kowos palye. Kowos fin ku in konauk kalmac meet liki safla len in kufwa itkosr uh, nga ac sot polo nuknuk linen tolngoul ac nuknuk in ayaol na kato tolngoul.
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."
A kowos fin tia konauk kalmac, na kowos ase nu sik polo nuknuk linen tolngoul ac nuknuk in ayaol na kato tolngoul.” Na elos fahk nu sel, “Fahk kas in palye sacn kut in lohng.”
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.
Na el fahk nu selos, “Liki el su mongo, mwe mongo sikyak, Liki el su fokoko, ma emwem sikyak.” Ke len nufon tolu elos tia ku in konauk kalmac.
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?"
Ke len se akakosr, elos fahk nu sin mutan kial Samson, “Kwafe nu sin mukul tomom an tuh elan fahk kalmen kas in palye lal nu sum. Kom fin tia, na kut ac isikkomyak ac lohm sin papa tomom. Mea, komtal sulikutme komtal in tuh sruokani ma lasr?”
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?"
Na mutan sac el som nu yorol Samson ac tung ye mutal ac fahk nu sel, “Kom kikiap in lungse nga. Kom srungayu! Kom fahkak kas in palye nu sin mwet kawuk luk, a kom tiana fahkak kalmac nu sik!” Na Samson el fahk, “Nga tia pacna fahk kalmac nu sin papa tumuk ac nina kiuk! Efu ku nga in fahk nu sum?”
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.
Mutan kial ah tung ke len itkosr nufon ma kufwa ah orek ah. Tusruktu ke len se akitkosr ah na Samson el fahkang kalmen ma sac nu sel mweyen el na kwafe na nu sel. Na mutan sac som ac fahkak kalmac ah nu sin mwet Philistia ah.
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."
Ouinge, meet liki faht ah tili ke len se akitkosr ah, mukul in siti sac fahk nu sel Samson, “Mea emwem liki honey? Ac mea ku liki lion?” Na Samson el fahk nu selos, “Komtal funu tia orekmakin cow mutan nutik in akfisrasrye infohk uh, Komtal lukun tia ku in konauk kalmac.”
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.
In kitin pacl ah na, ku lun LEUM GOD sikyang in el, na el oatula nu Ashkelon ac uniya mukul tolngoul we. El sarukla nuknuk wowo lalos ac sang lun mwet ma palyeak kas in palu sac. Na el arulana kasrkusrak na folok nu in lohm sin papa tumal ah.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Na mutan kial Samson ah itukyang nu sin mukul se ma tafwel Samson ke alu in marut lal ah.
