Judges 15
1 After some days, during the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said to himself, “I will go to my wife's room.” But her father would not allow him to go in.
Thuutha ũcio, ihinda-inĩ rĩa magetha ma ngano-rĩ, Samusoni akĩoya koori na agĩthiĩ gũceerera mũtumia wake. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũthiĩ ndoonye kanyũmba-inĩ ka mũtumia wakwa.” No ithe wa mũtumia ũcio akĩmũgiria atoonye kuo.
2 Her father said, “I really thought you hated her, so I gave her to your friend. Her younger sister is more beautiful than she is, is she not? Take her instead.”
Ithe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndaarĩ na ma atĩ nĩwamũthũũrire biũ, ngĩkĩmũheana kũrĩ mũrataguo. Githĩ mwarĩ wa nyina ũrĩa mũnini ndakĩrĩ mũthaka kũrĩ we? Kĩmuoe ithenya rĩake.”
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be innocent in regard to the Philistines when I hurt them.”
Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ Afilisti; ti-itherũ nĩngũmeka ũũru biũ.”
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes and he tied together each pair, tail to tail. Then he took torches and tied them in the middle of each pair of tails.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara, akĩnyiita mbwe magana matatũ, agĩciohithania mĩtingʼoe igĩrĩ igĩrĩ. Agĩcooka akĩoherera gĩcinga harĩ o mĩtingʼoe ĩyo ĩĩrĩ ĩĩrĩ,
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and they set fire to both the stacked grain and the grain standing in the field, along with the vineyards and the olive orchards.
akĩgwatia icinga icio mwaki na akĩrekereria mbwe icio ngano-inĩ ya Afilisti ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩgũnda. Agĩcina itĩĩa cia ngano ĩrĩa yarũgamĩtio mũgũnda na ngano ĩrĩa ĩtaarĩ ngethe, na agĩcina mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ.
6 The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” They were told, “Samson, the Timnite's son-in-law, did this because the Timnite took Samson's wife and gave her to his friend.” Then the Philistines went and burned up her and her father.
Rĩrĩa Afilisti mooririe atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wĩkĩte ũũ?” Makĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Samusoni, mũthoni-we wa mũndũ ũrĩa Mũtimina, tondũ mũtumia wake nĩaheirwo mũratawe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afilisti makĩambata na magĩcina mũtumia ũcio o na ithe nginya magĩkua.
7 Samson said to them, “If this is what you do, I will get my revenge against you, and after that is done, I will stop.”
Nake Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩ ũguo mweka, ndikũmũtigithĩria nginya ndĩĩrĩhĩrie kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
8 Then he cut them to pieces, hip and thigh, with a great slaughter. Then he went down and lived in a cave in the cliff of Etam.
Agĩkĩmatharĩkĩra na ũũru mũnene na akĩũraga aingĩ ao. Agĩcooka agĩikũrũka na agĩikara ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu.
9 Then the Philistines came up and they prepared for battle in Judah and set up their army in Lehi.
Nao Afilisti makĩambata na makĩamba hema kũu Juda, makĩaragana gũkuhĩ na Lehi.
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up to attack us?” They said, “We are attacking so we may capture Samson, and do to him as he has done to us.”
Nao andũ a Juda makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mũũkĩte kũhũũrana na ithuĩ nĩkĩ?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte kũnyiita Samusoni, tũmwĩke o ta ũrĩa aatwĩkire.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam, and they said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this you have done to us?” Samson said to them, “They did to me, and so I have done to them.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ ngiri ithatũ kuuma Juda magĩikũrũka nginya ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu na makĩĩra Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtakũũranĩte atĩ Afilisti nĩo matwathaga? Nĩ atĩa ũtwĩkĩte?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmekĩte o ta ũrĩa maanjĩkire.”
12 They said to Samson, “We have come down to tie you up and give you into the hands of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte gũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ Afilisti.” Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩtei atĩ ti inyuĩ mũkũnjũraga.”
13 They said to him, “No, we will only tie you with ropes and hand you over to them. We promise we will not kill you.” Then they tied him up with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwetĩkĩra, ithuĩ no gũkuoha tũgũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ o. Ithuĩ tũtigũkũũraga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuoha na mĩkanda ĩĩrĩ mĩerũ na makĩmwambatia kuuma rwaro-inĩ rũu rwa ihiga.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting as they met him. Then Yahweh's Spirit came on him with power. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and they fell off his hands.
Rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie Lehi-rĩ, Afilisti acio magĩũka na kũrĩ we makĩanagĩrĩra. Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya mũno. Mĩkanda ĩrĩa oohetwo moko nayo ĩgĩtuĩkanga o ta ũguta mũhiũ, nayo mĩhĩndo ĩyo ĩkĩgũa kuuma moko-inĩ make.
15 Samson found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and he picked it up and killed a thousand men with it.
Akĩona rũkambucu rwa ndigiri rũtaarĩ rũkũrũ, akĩrũhuria na akĩũraga andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Njũragĩte andũ na rũkambucu rwa ndigiri hĩba na hĩba. Njũragĩte andũ ngiri ĩmwe na rũkambucu rwa ndigiri.”
17 When Samson finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone, and he called the place Ramath Lehi.
Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kwaria-rĩ, agĩte rũkambucu rũu; naho handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Ramathu-Lehi.
18 Samson was very thirsty and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great victory to your servant. But now will I die of thirst and fall into the hands of those who are uncircumcised?”
Na tondũ aarĩ mũnyootu mũno, agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩũheete ndungata yaku ũhootani mũnene ũũ. No nginya rĩu ngue nĩ nyoota ngwe moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa mataruaga?”
19 God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi and water came out. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. So he called the name of that place En Hakkore, and it is at Lehi to this day.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai agĩthikũria irima kũu Lehi, rĩkiuma maaĩ. Rĩrĩa Samusoni aanyuire, agĩcookererwo nĩ hinya na akĩarahũka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩthima kĩu gĩgĩtwo Eni-Hakore. Na kĩrĩ o ho kũu Lehi.
20 Samson judged Israel in the days of the Philistines for twenty years.
Samusoni aatiirĩrĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Afilisti.
