Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
Ary Samsona nidina nankany Timna ka nahita vehivavy tao avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina.
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.
Ary niakatra izy, dia nilaza tamin-drainy sy reniny hoe: Efa nahita vehivavy tany Timna avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina aho; koa alao ho vadiko izy ankehitriny.
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.
Fa hoy ny rainy sy ny reniny taminy: Moa tsy misy vehivavy va eto amin’ ny zana-kavanao, na ato amin’ ny firesako rehetra, no dia mandeha maka vady any amin’ ny Filistina tsy mifora ianao? Dia hoy Samsona tamin-drainy: Izy ihany no alao ho ahy, fa izy no mahafinaritra ahy.
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.
Fa tsy fantatry ny rainy sy ny reniny fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah izany, satria nitady izay hiadiany tamin’ ny Filistina Izy; fa tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina no nanapaka ny Isiraely.
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.
Dia nidina Samsona sy ny rainy aman-dreniny nankany Timna. Ary nony tonga tao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka tany Timna izy, indro, nisy liona tanora nierona taminy.
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.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ary ilay liona tanora dia nosamatsamahiny hoatra ny fanasamaka zanak’ osy, nefa tsy nisy na inona na inona teny an-tànany; ary tsy nambarany tamin’ ny rainy na tamin’ ny reniny izay efa nataony.
7 So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
Dia nidina izy ka niresaka tamin-dravehivavy; ary nahafinaritra an’ i Samsona izy.
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,
Ary rehefa afaka kelikely, dia niverina hampakatra azy Samsona ka nivily hizaha ny fatin’ ilay liona; ary, indro, nisy reni-tantely nivangongo sy tantely tao amin’ ilay fatin’ ny liona.
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.
Ary nalain’ i Samsona izany ka nentiny teny an-tànany, dia nihinana teny am-pandehanana izy; ary nankany amin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny izy, dia nanome azy, ka nihinana koa izy mivady; nefa tsy nambarany taminy fa tao amin’ ny fatin’ ilay liona no nangalany ny tantely.
10 And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
Dia nidina ho any amin-dravehivavy ny rain’ i Samsona; ary nanao fanasana teo Samsona, fa izany no fanaon’ ny zatovo.
11 And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained with him.
Ary rehefa nahita azy izy mianakavy, dia nametraka namana telo-polo lahy hitoetra ao aminy.
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;
Ary hoy Samsona tamin’ ireo: Hanao fampanonona aminareo aho; koa raha lazainareo amiko ny heviny ao anatin’ ny hafitoana fanasana ka fantatrareo, dia homeko lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova ianareo.
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.
Fa raha tsy mahalaza amiko kosa ianareo, dia homenareo lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova aho. Dia hoy izy ireo: Ataovy ary ny fampanonona mba hohenoinay.
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.
Dia hoy Samsona aminy: Avy tao amin’ ny mpihinana no nivoahan’ ny hanina; Ary avy tao amin’ ny mahery no nivoahan’ ny mamy. Dia tsy nahalaza ny fampanonona izy tao anatin’ ny hateloana.
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?
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vadin’ i Samsona: Taomy ny vadinao hilaza ny fampanonona aminay, fandrao hodoranay amin’ ny afo ianao sy ny ankohonan-drainao; efa nanasa anay va ianareo ho entinareo mifafa izay anananay? Moa tsy izany va?
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?
Ary ny vadin’ i Samsona dia nitomany teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Halanao aho, fa tsy tianao tsy akory; efa nanao fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneko ianao, nefa tsy nolazainao tamiko ny heviny. Fa hoy izy taminy: Indro, na dia ny raiko sy ny reniko aza tsy nilazako azy, ka ianao va no hilazako?
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.
Dia nitomany teo anatrehany tamin’ ny hafitoana izay nisian’ ny fanasana ravehivavy; ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nolazain’ i Samsona taminy, satria nitorikisina taminy izy; ary izy kosa nilaza ny fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneny.
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!
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, raha tsy mbola maty ny masoandro, dia hoy ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna tamin’ i Samsona: Inona no mamy noho ny tantely; Ary inona no mahery noho ny liona? Ary hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tsy nampiasa ny ombivavikeliko ianareo. Dia tsy ho nahalala ny fampanonona nataoko.
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.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah ka nidina nankany Askelona izy, dia namono telo-polo lahy tao, ary nalainy ny fitafian’ ireo ka nomeny ho an’ izay nilaza ny fampanonona. Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Samsona, ka niakatra nankany amin’ ny tranon-drainy izy.
20 And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
Ary ny vadiny dia lasan’ ny namany, izay efa nataony sakaizany.
