Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
Samson teh Timnah kho vah a cei teh, Filistinnaw e a canu napui buet touh a hmu.
2 So he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said—A woman, have I seen in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines, —now, therefore, take her for me, to 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 And his father and his mother said to him—Is there not, among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going away to take a woman from among the uncircumcised Philistines? But Samson said unto his father—Take, her, for me, for, she, is pleasant in mine 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 Now, his father and his mother, knew not, that, from Yahweh, it was, that, an occasion, he was seeking of the Philistines, —at that time, the Philistines having dominion 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 So Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, —and they came as far as the vineyards of Timnath, when lo! a young lion, roaring to meet 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 Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he tore it in pieces as if he had torn in pieces a kid, there being, nothing at all, in his hand, —but he told not 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 So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
A cei teh hote tangla hoi a kâpan roi teh Samson mit dawk hote napui teh atueng.
8 And he returned, after a time, to take her, and went aside to see the carcass of the lion, —and lo! 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 which he took into his hands, and went on—eating as he went, and came unto his father and unto his mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat, —but he told them not that, out of the carcass of the lion, he had taken the honey.
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 And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
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 And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained 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 And Samson said unto them, I pray you let me put you forth a riddle, —if ye, tell, it me, within the seven days of the banquet, and find it out, then will I give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of raiment;
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 ye cannot tell me, then shall, ye, give me thirty linen wraps, and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may 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 And he said to them—Out of the eater, came forth food, And, out of the strong, came forth sweetness. But they could not tell the riddle, in three days.
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 came to pass, on the fourth day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn thee and the house of thy father, with fire. Was it not, to impoverish us, that ye invited us—was it not?
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 And the wife of Samson wept upon him, and said—Thou dost, altogether hate me, and dost not love me, a riddle, hast thou put forth to the sons of my people, and, unto me, thou hast not told it! And he said to her, Lo! to my own father and mother, have I not told it, and, to thee, shall I tell it?
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 So she wept upon him the seven days, —while their banquet lasted, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that he told her, because she urged him, and she told the riddle unto the sons 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 And the men of the city said to him, on the seventh day—ere yet the sun went in, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not 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 And the Spirit of Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote of them thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes [of raiment] to them who had told the riddle, —and 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 And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
Hahoi Samson e a yu teh, a hui hah oun a poe pouh awh.
