Judges 15
1 During the time that they harvested wheat, Samson took a young goat to Timnah as a present for his wife. He planned to sleep with [EUP] his wife, but her father would not let him go into [her room].
A MAUOPE iho, i na la o ka hoiliili ana i ka hua palaoa, hele aku la o Samesona, me ke kaokeiki, e ike i kana wahine; i iho la, E komo aku no wau iloko o ke keena i ka'u wahine. Aole nae i haawi mai kona makuakane ia ia ke komo iloko.
2 He said to Samson, “I really thought that you hated her. So I gave her to the man who had been your best man at the wedding, and she married him. But look, her younger sister is [RHQ] more beautiful than she is. You can marry her!”
I mai la kona makuakane, Manao maopopo ae la au, ua hoowahawaha loa oe ia ia nei, nolaila haawi aku au ia ia i kou hoa. Aole anei i oi aku ka maikai o kona kaikaina mamua o kona? Nau ia, ea, a kaawale keia.
3 Samson replied, “No! And this time I have a right to get revenge on you Philistines!”
I iho la o Samesona no lakou, Aole au e hewa e like me ko Pilisetia, ke hana au i mea e poino ai lakou.
4 Then he went out [into the fields] and caught 300 foxes. He tied their tails together, two-by-two. He fastened torches to each pair of tails.
Hele aku la o Samesona, hopu iho la i na alopeke, ekolu haneri, a lawe i na lamaku, a hui ae la i kahi huelo i kahi huelo, a waiho iho la i ka lamaku iwaena o na huelo elua.
5 Then he lit the torches and let the foxes run through the fields of the Philistines. The fire [from the torches] burned all the grain to the ground, including the grain that had been cut and piled in bundles. The fire also burned down their grapevines and their olive trees.
A puhi iho ia i na lama i ke ahi, alaila kuu aku la, e hele lakou iloko o ka hua palaoa o ko Pilisetia e ku ana, a puhi i ke ahi i na puu hua palaoa a me ka hua palaoa e ku ana, a me na pawaina, a me na oliva.
6 The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” Someone told them, “Samson did it. He married a woman from Timnah, but then his father-in-law gave her to the man who was Samson’s best man at the wedding, and she married him.” So the Philistines went [to Timnah] and got the woman and her father, and burned them to death.
Alaila, ninau ae la ko Pilisetia, Nawai i hana i keia? I mai la lakou, Na Samesona, na ka hunona a kekahi o ko Timenata, no ka mea, na lawe oia i ka ia la wahine, a ua haawi ia ia na kona hoa. Pii mai la ko Pilisetia, a puhi iho la i ua wahine la, a me kona makuakane i ke ahi.
7 Samson [found out about that, and he] said to them, “Because you have done this, I will not stop until I get revenge on you!”
I ae la o Samesona ia lakou, Ua hana no oukou i keia, aka, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, a mahope iho, oki au.
8 So he attacked the Philistines furiously, and killed many of them. Then he went [to hide] in a cave in the large rock at a place called Etam.
Luku ae la ia ia lakou, ke kikala a me ka uha, he luku nui loa. Alaila iho aku la ia a noho ma kekahi ana o ka pohaku, ma Etama.
9 The Philistines [did not know where he was, so they] went up to where the descendants of Judah lived, set up their tents near Lehi [town and then raided the town].
Alaila hele ae la ko Pilisetia, a hoomoana iho la ma ko Iuda, a hoopalahalaha aku la ma Lehi.
10 The men there asked the Philistines, “Why have you attacked us?” The Philistines replied, “We have come to capture Samson. We have come to get revenge on him for what he did to us.”
Ninau aku la na kanaka o ka Iuda, No ke aha la oukou i pii mai nei e ku e ia makou? I mai la lakou, Ua pii mai nei makou e nakinaki ia Samesona e hana aku ia ia, e like me kana i hana mai ai ia makou.
11 [Someone there knew where Samson was hiding]. So 3,000 men from Judah went down to get Samson at the cave in the rock where he was hiding. They said to Samson, “Do you not realize that the people of Philistia are ruling over us? Do you not realize what they will do to us?” Samson replied, “The only thing I did was that I got revenge on them for what they did to me.”
Alaila, iho aku la ekolu tausani kanaka o ka Iuda i ke ana iloko o ka pohaku ma Etama, i aku la ia Samesona, Aole anei oe i ike, o ko Pilisetia no ko kakou poe haku? Heaha keia mea au i hana mai nei ia kakou? I mai la kela ia lakou, E like me ka lakou i hana mai ai ia'u, pela no wau i hana aku ai ia lakou.
12 But the men from Judah said to him, “We have come to tie you up and put you in the hands of the Philistines.” Samson said, “All right, but promise me that you yourselves will not kill me!”
I aku la lakou ia ia, Ua iho mai nei makou e nakinaki ia oe, a e haawi aku ia oe i ka lima o ko Pilisetia. I mai la o Samesona ia lakou, E hoohiki mai oukou ia'u, aole oukou e pepehi mai ia'u.
13 They replied, “We will just tie you up and take you to the Philistines. We will not kill you.” So they tied him with two new ropes, and led him away from the cave.
Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Aole, aku, e nakinaki makou ia oe a paa, a haawi aku ia oe i ko lakou lima, aole loa makou e pepehi aku ia oe. Nakinaki iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula hou elua, a lawe mai ia ia, mai ka pohaku mai.
14 When they arrived at Lehi, the Philistines came toward him, shouting [triumphantly]. But Yahweh’s Spirit came upon Samson powerfully. He snapped the ropes on his arms as easily as if they were stalks of burned flax, and the ropes fell off his wrists.
Hele ae la ia a Lehi, hooho ku e mai la ko Pilisetia ia ia; a kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, lilo iho la na kaula maluna o kona mau lima e like me ke olona i pau i ke ahi, a popo iho la kona mea paa ma kona lima.
15 Then he saw a donkey’s jawbone lying on the ground. It was fresh, [so it was hard]. He picked it up and killed about 1,000 Philistine men with it.
A loaa ia ia ka iwia o ka hoki, he iwia maka, hohola aku la i kona lima, lalau iho la ia mea, a me ia no ia i luku aku ai i hookahi tausani kanaka.
16 Then Samson wrote this poem: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have made them like a heap of [dead] donkeys. With the jawbone of a donkey I killed 1,000 men.”
I iho la o Samesona, Me ka iwia o ka hoki, o ka puu o na puu, me ka iwia o ka hoki ka'u i luku aku ai i hookahi tausani kanaka.
17 When he finished killing those men, he threw the jawbone away, and later that place was called Jawbone Hill.
A pau kana olelo ana, hoolei aku la ia i ka iwia mailoko aku o kona lima, a kapa aku ia wahi o Ramatalehi.
18 Then Samson was very thirsty, so he called out to Yahweh, “You have given me strength to win a great victory. So now must I die because of being thirsty, with the result that those heathen Philistines will take away my body [and mutilate it]?”
Makewai loa iho la ia, a hea aku la ia Iehova, i aku la, Ua haawi mai oe i keia ola nui ma ka lima o kau kauwa nei; a e make anei au i ka makewai, a haule iloko o ka lima o ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia?
19 So God caused water to gush out of a depression in the ground at Lehi. Samson drank from it and soon felt strong again. He named that place ‘The spring of the one who called out’. That spring is still there at Lehi.
Wahi ae la ke Akua i puka maloko o ka iwia, a puka mai la ka wai, mailoko mai o ia mea; a inu ia, alaila, hoi mai ka hanu, a ola ae la ia: nolaila, kapa aku la oia i ka inoa o ia wahi o Enehakore, aia ma Lehi, a hiki mai i keia la.
20 Samson was the leader of the Israeli people for 20 years, but during that time the Philistines [were the ones who really ruled over the land].
Nana no i hooponopono i ka Iseraela i na la o ko Pilisetia, i na makahiki he iwakalua.
