Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
I HO aku la o Samesona i Timenata, a ike aku la i kekahi wahine ma Timenata, no na kaikamahine a ko Pilisetia.
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.
Pii mai la ia, a hai mai la i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, i mai la, Ua ike au i kekahi wahine ma Timenata, no na kaikamahine a ko Pilisetia; nolaila ea, e kii aku ia ia, i wahine na'u.
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.
I aku la kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine ia ia, Aole anei he wahine iwaena o na kaikamahine o kou poe hoahanau, a me kou poe kanaka a pau, i hele aku ai oe, e lawe i wahine no ka poe okipoepoe ole ia o ko Pilisetia? I mai la o Samesona i kona makuakane, E kii aku ia ia na'u, no ka mea, ua pono ia i ko'u mau maka.
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.
Aole i ike kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, na Iehova mai ia mea, no kona imi hala ana no i ko Pilisetia. Ia manawa e noho lanakila ana ko Pilisetia maluna o ka Iseraela.
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.
Alaila, iho aku la o Samesona, a me kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine i Timenata, a hiki i na pawaina o Timenata; uwo mai la kekahi liona opiopio, i kona halawai ana me ia.
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.
Kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a haehae iho la oia ia ia, e like me ka haehae ana o ke kaokeiki, aohe mea ma kona lima; aole hoi ia i hai aku i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, i ka mea ana i hana'i.
7 So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
Iho aku la ia, a kamailio pu iho la me ua wahine la; a ua pono ia i na maka o Samesona.
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,
A mahope iho hoi mai la ia e lawe ia ia, kipa ae la ia e nana i ke kino o ka liona; aia hoi, he poe nalomeli, a me ka meli pu maloko o ke kino o ua liona la.
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.
Lalau aku la kona mau lima ia mea, a i ka hele ana, hele no ia e ai ana, a hiki i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a haawi aku la ia laua, a ai iho la laua; aole nae ia i hai aku ia laua, i kona lawe ana i ka meli, mailoko aku o ke kino o ka liona.
10 And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
Iho aku la kona makuakane i ua wahine la, a malaila i hana'i o Samesona i ahaaina palala; no ka mea, pela i hana'i na kanaka ui.
11 And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained with him.
A ike lakou ia ia, lawe lakou i kanakolu hoa, e noho pu ai me ia.
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;
I aku la o Samesona ia lakou, E nanenane aku au ia oukou, a ina e koho mai oukou ia ia'u, i keia mau la ehiku o ka ahaaina ana, a loaa pono, alaila, e haawi aku au ia oukou i kanakolu palule, a me na paa kapa he kanakolu.
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.
Aka, ina aole hiki ia oukou ke hai mai ia'u, alaila, na oukou e haawi mai ia'u, i kanakolu palule, a me na paa kapa he kanakolu. I mai la lakou ia ia, E nane mai oe, i lohe makou.
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.
I aku la oia ia lakou, Mailoko mai o ka mea e ai ana i puka mai ai ka ai, a mailoko mai hoi o ka mea ikaika, i loaa mai ai ka ono. A i na la ekolu, aole hiki ia lakou, ke koho mai ia ia i ua nane la.
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?
A i ka hiku o ka la, i ae la lakou i ka wahine a Samesona, E hoowalewale oe i kau kane, i hai mai ai oia ia kakou i ka nane, o puhi auanei makou ia oe, a me ka hale o kou makuakane i ke ahi. Ua kii mai anei oukou ia makou e hoohune ia makou, aole anei?
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?
Uwe iho la ka wahine a Samesona imua ona, i aku la ia ia, Ke hoowahawaha wale mai nei oe ia'u, aole aloha mai ia'u. Ua nanenane mai oe i na keiki a ko'u poe kanaka, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u. I mai la kela ia ia, Aia hoi, aole au i hai aku i ko'u makuakane, a me ko'u makuwahine, a e hai anei au ia oe?
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.
A ia mau la ehiku o ka lakou ahaaina ana, uwe iho la oia imua ona; a i ka hiku o ka la, hai mai la kela ia ia, no ka mea, koi ikaika loa mai la ia ia; a hai ae la ka wahine i ua nane la i na keiki a kona poe kanaka.
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 i ka hiku o ka la, aole i komo ka la, i mai la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia ia, Heaha ka mea i oi aku ka ono mamua o ka meli? a heaha hoi ka mea i oi aku ka ikaika mamua o ka liona? I aku la keia ia lakou, Ina aole oukou i oopalau me ka'u bipi wahine opiopio, ina ua loaa ole ia oukou ka'u nane.
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.
Kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, a iho aku la ia i Asekelona, a pepehi iho la i kanakolu kanaka o lakou, a lawe i ko lakou lole, a haawi ae la i paa kapa no ka poe i hai mai i ka nane. Wela iho la kona huhu, a pii aku la ia i ka hale o kona makuakane.
20 And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
Lilo ae la ka wahine a Samesona i kona hoa, ana i hoolauna aku ai.
