Judges 15
1 And it was from days in [the] days of [the] harvest of wheat and he visited Samson wife his with a kid of goats and he said let me go into wife my the chamber towards and not he permitted him father her to go.
Awo ebbanga bwe lyayitawo, ng’ebiro eby’okukungula eŋŋaano bituuse, Samusooni n’agenda okukyalira mukazi we ng’amutwalidde akabuzi akato. N’ayogera nti, “Nnaagenda eri mukazi wange mu kisenge.” Naye kitaawe w’omukazi n’atamukkiriza kugenda yo.
2 And he said father her certainly I thought that certainly you hated her and I gave her to companion your ¿ not [is] sister her young good more than her let her belong please to you in place of her.
Kitaawe w’omukazi n’agamba Samusooni nti, “Nze nalowooza nti wamukyayira ddala, kyennava mugabira mukwano gwo. Muganda we omuto amusinga okulabika obulungi. Kaakano gw’oba otwala mu kifo ky’oli.”
3 And he said to them Samson I will be free this time from [the] Philistines for [am] about to do I with them harm.
Samusooni n’abagamba nti, “Ku mulundi guno sirina musango, Abafirisuuti bwe nnaabakola akabi.”
4 And he went Samson and he captured three hundred foxes and he took torches and he turned tail to tail and he put a torch one between [the] two the tails in the middle.
Awo Samusooni n’agenda n’akwata ebibe ebikumi bisatu, n’asiba bibiri bibiri emikira, n’akwataganya emikira, n’addira ebitawuliro n’ateeka ekitawuliro wakati w’emikira kinneebirye.
5 And he kindled fire on the torches and he sent [them] among [the] standing grain of [the] Philistines and it burned up from [the] heap of sheaves and unto [the] standing grain and unto [the] vineyard of olive tree[s].
N’akoleeza ebitawuliro, n’ata ebibe okugenda mu nnimiro z’Abafirisuuti. N’ayokya ebinywa n’eŋŋaano eyali tennakungulwa, n’ennimiro z’emizeeyituuni n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu.
6 And they said [the] Philistines who? did he do this [thing] and they said Samson [the] son-in-law of the Timnite for he has taken wife his and he has given her to companion his and they went up [the] Philistines and they burned her and father her with fire.
Awo Abafirisuuti bwe baabuuza akoze bwe kityo, ne boogera nti, “Ye Samusooni mukoddomi w’Omutimuna, kubanga Omutimuna yaddira mukazi wa Samusooni, n’amuwa mukwano gwa Samusooni.” Abafirisuuti ne bagenda ne bookya omukazi ne kitaawe omuliro.
7 And he said to them Samson if you will do! like this that except I have avenged myself on you and after I will cease.
Samusooni n’abagamba nti, “Olw’okuba nga mweyisizza bwe mutyo, sirirekayo okuggyako nga mbawalanyeeko eggwanga.”
8 And he struck them leg with thigh a defeat great and he went down and he dwelt in [the] cleft of [the] rock of Etam.
N’abalumba n’atta bangi nnyo ku bo, n’agenda n’abeera mu mpuku ey’omu lwazi lw’e Etamu.
9 And they went up [the] Philistines and they encamped in Judah and they were spread out at Lehi.
Abafirisuuti ne bayambuka ne basiisira mu Yuda, ne basaasaana okumpi ne Leki.
10 And they said [the] man of Judah why? have you come up on us and they said to bind Samson we have come up to do to him just as he did to us.
Abantu ba Yuda ne bababuuza nti, “Lwaki mutulumbye?” Abafirisuuti ne babaddamu nti, “Tuzze okuwamba Samusooni tumutwale nga musibe, tumwesasuze nga bwe yatukola.”
11 And they went down three thousand man from Judah to [the] cleft of [the] rock of Etam and they said to Samson ¿ not do you know that [are] ruling over us [the] Philistines and what? this have you done to us and he said to them just as they did to me so I have done to them.
Awo abasajja enkumi ssatu okuva mu Yuda ne bagenda ku mpuku y’olwazi lw’e Etamu ne bagamba Samusooni nti, “Tewamanya ng’Abafirisuuti be batufuga? Kaakano kiki kino ky’otukoze?” N’abaddamu nti, “Nneesasuzza kye bankola.”
12 And they said to him to bind you we have come down to give you in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and he said to them Samson swear to me lest you should fall! on me you.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tuzze okukusiba tukuweeyo mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti.” Samusooni n’abagamba nti, “Mundayirire nga temunzitte mmwe mwennyini.”
13 And they said to him saying In-deed certainly we will bind you and we will give you in hand their and certainly not we will kill you and they bound him with two ropes new and they brought up him from the rock.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tukkiriziganyizza. Tujja kukusiba busibi, tukuweeyo mu mukono gwabwe, naye tetujja kukutta.” Ne bamusiba emiguwa ebiri emiggya ne bamuggyayo mu mpuku.
14 He [was] coming to Lehi (and [the] Philistines *L(abh)*) they shouted to meet him and it rushed on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and they became the ropes which [were] on arms his like flax which people have burned with fire and they dropped off bonds his from on hands his.
Bwe yali asemberera Leki Abafirisuuti ne bajja gy’ali nga baleekaana. Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda n’amukkako, emiguwa egyali gimusibye emikono ne giba ng’obugoogwa obwokeddwa omuliro, ne gisumulukuka okuva ku mikono gye.
15 And he found a jawbone of a donkey fresh and he stretched out hand his and he took it and he struck down with it a thousand man.
N’alaba oluba lw’endogoyi olutannavunda, n’alukwata, n’akuba abasajja lukumi.
16 And he said Samson with [the] jawbone of the donkey a heap two heaps with [the] jawbone of the donkey I struck down a thousand man.
Samusooni n’alyoka ayogera nti, “Nkozesezza oluba lw’endogoyi okukola entuumu bbiri; nkozesezza oluba lw’endogoyi okutta abasajja lukumi.”
17 And it was when finished he to speak and he threw the jawbone from hand his and he called the place that Ramath Lehi.
Bwe yamala okwogera ekyo, n’akanyuga oluba n’alusuula, ekifo ekyo n’akituuma Lamasuleki.
18 And he was thirsty very and he called out to Yahweh and he said you you have given by [the] hand of servant your the victory great this and now [must] I die with thirst and I fall in [the] hand of the uncircumcised [men]?
N’alumwa nnyo ennyonta, n’akabira Mukama Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Omuddu wo omuwadde obuwanguzi olw’amaanyi; ne kaakano nfe, ngwe mu mukono gw’abatali bakomole?”
19 And he split open God the deep hollow which [is] at Lehi and they came out from it waters and he drank and it returned spirit his and he lived there-fore - he called name its En Hakkore which [is] at Lehi until the day this.
Katonda n’akola ekinnya mu Leki, ne muvaamu amazzi, kwe yanywa n’addamu amaanyi, n’aba mulamu. Ekifo ekyo kyeyava akituuma Enkakkole, era kikyaliyo mu Leki n’okutuusa leero.
20 And he judged Israel in [the] days of [the] Philistines twenty year[s].
Samusooni n’akulembera Isirayiri mu biro by’Abafirisuuti, okumala emyaka amakumi abiri.
