Judges 14
1 Samson went down to Timnah, and there he saw a woman, one of the daughters of the Philistines.
Sie len ah Samson el tufoki som nu Timnah, ac el liyauk sie mutan fusr Philistia we.
2 When he returned, he told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines. Now get her for me to be my wife.”
Ke el folokla nu yen sel ah el fahk nu sin papa tumal ac nina kial, “Nga tuh liyauk mutan fusr Philistia se in acn Timnah. Usalu ngan payukyak sel.”
3 His father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people? Are you going to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for when I look at her, she pleases me.”
Na papa tumal ac nina kial eltal siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom suk sie mutan pegan kiom yurin mwet Philistia— Mea wanginna mutan inmasrlon mwet in ota lasr uh kom in eis kiom?” Ac Samson el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Usalu! El na pa nga lungse uh.”
4 But his father and his mother did not know that this matter came from Yahweh, for he desired to create a conflict with the Philistines (for at that time the Philistines were ruling Israel).
Papa tumal ac nina kial Samson tiana akilen lah LEUM GOD pa kolol Samson ke sulela se lal inge, ke sripen LEUM GOD El suk sie pacl wo in mweuni mwet Philistia. Mweyen ke pacl se inge, mwet Philistia elos leum fin mwet Israel ah.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah. And, look, there one of the young lions came up and was roaring at him.
Na Samson el tufoki nu Timnah wi papa tumal ac nina kial. Ke elos fahsr ke ima in grape in acn Timnah, Samson el lohngak pusren lion soko ngutngut.
6 Yahweh's Spirit suddenly came on him, and he tore the lion apart as easily as he would have torn apart a small goat, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Na ngun lun LEUM GOD sa na sikyang in el ac sang ku lulap nu sel, na el sang na paol ac eiya lion soko ah oana in nani fusr soko. Tusruktu el tiana akkalemye ma el oru inge nu sin papa tumal ku nina kial.
7 He went and spoke with the woman, and when he looked at her, she pleased Samson.
Na el som ac sramsram nu sin mutan sac, ac el arulana insewowo sel.
8 A few days later when he returned to marry her, he turned aside to look for the carcass of the lion. And, look, there was a swarm of bees and honey in what was left of the lion's body.
Kutu len toko, Samson el sifilpa som nu we tuh elan payuk sin mutan sac. Ke el srakna fahsr nu we, el srola liki inkanek ah tuh elan liye lion soko ma el uniya ah. Na el lut ke el liye loanginyeir ac honey ke monin lion soko ah.
9 He scraped up the honey in his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and his mother, he gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them he had taken the honey out of what was left of the lion's body.
Na el lafusak honey inge nu inpaol, ac el fahsr kang inkanek ah. Ke el sun papa tumal ac nina kial ah, el sang kutu naltal, tusruktu el tiana fahk nu seltal lah ma el eis liki monin lion soko ma misa ah.
10 Samson's father went down to where the woman was, and Samson gave a feast there, for this was the custom of the young men.
Na papa tumal ah som nu lohm sin mutan fusr sac, ac Samson el orala sie kufwa we, tuh mukul fusr elos oru ouinge in pacl sac.
11 As soon as her relatives saw him, they brought him thirty of their friends to be with him.
Ke mwet Philistia elos liyal Samson, elos supwala mukul fusr tolngoul in muta yorol.
12 Samson said to them, “Let me now tell you a riddle. If one of you can find it out and tell me the answer during the seven days of the feast, I will give out thirty linen robes and thirty sets of clothes.
Na Samson el fahk nu seltal, “Nga ac fahk ma se inge, na kowos palye. Kowos fin ku in konauk kalmac meet liki safla len in kufwa itkosr uh, nga ac sot polo nuknuk linen tolngoul ac nuknuk in ayaol na kato tolngoul.
13 But if you cannot tell me the answer, then you will give me thirty linen robes and thirty sets of clothes.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, so we may hear it.”
A kowos fin tia konauk kalmac, na kowos ase nu sik polo nuknuk linen tolngoul ac nuknuk in ayaol na kato tolngoul.” Na elos fahk nu sel, “Fahk kas in palye sacn kut in lohng.”
14 He said to them, “Out of the eater was something to eat; out of the strong was something sweet.” But his guests could not find the answer in three days.
Na el fahk nu selos, “Liki el su mongo, mwe mongo sikyak, Liki el su fokoko, ma emwem sikyak.” Ke len nufon tolu elos tia ku in konauk kalmac.
15 On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, “Trick your husband so that he may tell us the answer to the riddle, or we will burn up you and your father's house. Did you invite us here in order to make us poor?”
Ke len se akakosr, elos fahk nu sin mutan kial Samson, “Kwafe nu sin mukul tomom an tuh elan fahk kalmen kas in palye lal nu sum. Kom fin tia, na kut ac isikkomyak ac lohm sin papa tomom. Mea, komtal sulikutme komtal in tuh sruokani ma lasr?”
16 Samson's wife started to weep in front of him; she said, “All you do is hate me! You do not love me. You have told a riddle to some of my people, but you have not told me the answer.” Samson said to her, “Look here, if I have not told my father or my mother, should I tell you?”
Na mutan sac el som nu yorol Samson ac tung ye mutal ac fahk nu sel, “Kom kikiap in lungse nga. Kom srungayu! Kom fahkak kas in palye nu sin mwet kawuk luk, a kom tiana fahkak kalmac nu sik!” Na Samson el fahk, “Nga tia pacna fahk kalmac nu sin papa tumuk ac nina kiuk! Efu ku nga in fahk nu sum?”
17 She cried during the seven days that their feast lasted. On the seventh day he told her the answer because she pressured him very much. She told the answer to the relatives of her people.
Mutan kial ah tung ke len itkosr nufon ma kufwa ah orek ah. Tusruktu ke len se akitkosr ah na Samson el fahkang kalmen ma sac nu sel mweyen el na kwafe na nu sel. Na mutan sac som ac fahkak kalmac ah nu sin mwet Philistia ah.
18 Before the sun went down on the seventh day the men of the city said to him, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found the answer to my riddle.”
Ouinge, meet liki faht ah tili ke len se akitkosr ah, mukul in siti sac fahk nu sel Samson, “Mea emwem liki honey? Ac mea ku liki lion?” Na Samson el fahk nu selos, “Komtal funu tia orekmakin cow mutan nutik in akfisrasrye infohk uh, Komtal lukun tia ku in konauk kalmac.”
19 Then Yahweh's Spirit suddenly came on Samson with power. Samson went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men. He took their plunder, and he gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he went up to his father's house.
In kitin pacl ah na, ku lun LEUM GOD sikyang in el, na el oatula nu Ashkelon ac uniya mukul tolngoul we. El sarukla nuknuk wowo lalos ac sang lun mwet ma palyeak kas in palu sac. Na el arulana kasrkusrak na folok nu in lohm sin papa tumal ah.
20 Samson's wife was given to his best friend.
Na mutan kial Samson ah itukyang nu sin mukul se ma tafwel Samson ke alu in marut lal ah.
