< Judges 14 >
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Timina mpe amonaki kuna elenge mwasi moko ya Filisitia.
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.
Tango azongaki, alobaki na tata mpe mama na ye: — Namoni mwasi moko kati na basi ya bato ya Filisitia, na Timina; bokende kobalela ngai ye.
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.
Tata mpe mama na ye bazongisaki: — Boni, kati na bandeko na yo to kati na bato na biso nyonso, ezali te na bana basi ya kitoko mpo ete okende kozwa mwasi kati na bato ya Filisitia oyo bakatama ngenga te? Kasi Samison alobaki na tata na ye: — Balela ngai ye, pamba te ye nde abongi mpo na ngai.
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.
Baboti na ye bayebaki te ete likambo wana ewutaki epai na Yawe, pamba te Yawe azalaki koluka nzela mpo na kokotisa mobulu kati na bana ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia. Pamba te na tango wana, bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele.
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.
Samison akendeki na Timina elongo na tata mpe mama na ye. Tango bakomaki pembeni ya bilanga ya vino ya Timina, mbala moko, mwana nkosi moko eyaki konguluma liboso ya Samison.
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.
Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Samison na nguya. Boye, Samison apasolaki nkosi na kati-kati, na maboko pamba, ndenge bapasolaka mwana ntaba. Kasi kati na makambo oyo asalaki, ayebisaki eloko moko te epai ya tata to mama na ye.
7 So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
Sima na yango, Samison akendeki na Timina, asololaki na mwana mwasi mpe alingaki ye.
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,
Sima na mwa mikolo, tango azongaki na Timina mpo na kobala mwasi na ye, alekaki pembeni mpo na kotala nzoto ya nkosi oyo ekufaki. Kati na nzoto yango, amonaki liboke ya banzoyi mpe mafuta na yango.
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.
Akamataki yango na maboko na ye mpe aliaki yango nzela-nzela. Tango akutanaki na baboti na ye, apesaki bango ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi. Bongo bango mpe baliaki yango; kasi atikalaki koyebisa bango te ete azwaki mafuta yango ya nzoyi kati na nzoto ya nkosi oyo ekufa.
10 And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
Tata na ye akendeki kotala elenge mwasi yango, mpe Samison asalisaki kuna feti moko ya monene, kolanda ndenge ezalaki momesano mpo na libala.
11 And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained with him.
Tango abimaki, bapesaki bato tuku misato mpo ete bavanda na ye elongo.
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;
Samison alobaki na bango: — Nalingi koyebisa bino lisese moko. Soki bopesi ngai eyano, na mikolo sambo ya feti, nakopesa bino bilamba tuku misato ya lino mpe bilamba tuku misato ya feti.
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.
Soki bokoki te kopesa ngai eyano, bokopesa ngai bilamba tuku misato ya lino mpe bilamba tuku misato ya feti. Balobaki: — Yebisa biso lisese na yo, tolingi koyoka yango!
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.
Samison alobaki na bango: — Kati na oyo eliaka, ebimi oyo baliaka; kati na oyo ezali makasi, ebimi oyo ezali elengi. Mikolo misato mobimba, bakokaki te kopesa ye eyano.
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?
Bongo na mokolo ya minei, balobaki na mwasi ya Samison: — Bondela mobali na yo mpo ete apesa biso ndimbola ya lisese; sima na yango, yaka koyebisa biso ndimbola yango. Soki te, tokotumba yo elongo na ndako ya tata na yo. Obengisi biso awa mpo na koyiba biso?
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?
Bongo mwasi ya Samison akomaki kolela liboso ya mobali mpe alobaki na ye: — Oyina ngai! Solo, olingaka ngai te! Oyebisaki bato na ngai lisese, kasi oyebisaki ngai ndimbola na yango te! Samison azongisaki: — Natikala kutu kolimbola yango epai ya tata to mama na ngai te, bongo ndenge nini nalimbola yango epai na yo?
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.
Na mikolo nyonso sambo ya feti, azalaki kaka kolela. Suka na suka, na mokolo ya sambo, Samison alimbolelaki ye yango, pamba te mwasi na ye atungisaki ye mingi. Bongo mwasi ya Samison, ye mpe akendeki kopesa ndimbola ya lisese yango epai ya bato na ye.
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!
Na mokolo ya sambo, liboso ete moyi elala, bato ya engumba bayaki koloba na Samison: — Eloko nini ezali elengi koleka mafuta ya nzoyi? Mpe eloko nini eleki nkosi na makasi? Samison alobaki na bango: — Soki bosalaki likita te na mwasi na ngai, bokokaki koyeba te ndimbola ya lisese na ngai.
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.
Bongo Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Samison na nguya. Akendeki na Ashikeloni mpe abomaki bato tuku misato, azwaki bilamba na bango mpe apesaki yango epai ya bato oyo bapesaki ye ndimbola ya lisese. Azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye na kanda makasi.
20 And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
Mpe babalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga ya Samison, oyo babengisaki na feti.
