Judges 15
1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I will go in to my wife’s room.” But her father wouldn’t allow him to go in.
Sima na mwa mikolo, na eleko oyo bakataka ble, Samison azwaki mwana ntaba mpe akendeki kotala mwasi na ye. Alobaki: — Nalingi kokota na shambre epai wapi mwasi na ngai alalaka. Kasi tata ya mwasi na ye apesaki ye nzela te.
2 Her father said, “I most certainly thought that you utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.”
Alobaki na Samison: — Nakanisaki penza ete olingaka ye te, yango wana nabalisaki ye epai ya moko kati na baninga na yo, oyo obengisaki na feti. Tala leki na ye ya mwasi, aleki ye na kitoko te? Zwa ye kaka.
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in the case of the Philistines when I harm them.”
Samison alobaki na bango: — Ya mbala oyo, nakozala ata na ngambo moko te liboso ya bato ya mokili ya Filisitia; nakeyi kosala bango mabe.
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails.
Samison abimaki mpe akangaki bambwa ya zamba nkama misato, akangisaki yango mibale-mibale na mikila mpe atiaki koni na kati-kati ya mikila mibale-mibale ya bambwa yango.
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
Apelisaki koni yango mpe atikaki bambwa ya zamba kati na bilanga ya ble ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo esili kokomela. Atumbaki maboke ya ble oyo batiaki na mipiku mpe ble oyo babukaki nanu te, banzete ya vino mpe banzete ya olive.
6 Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Bato ya Filisitia batunaki: — Nani asali boye? Bazongiselaki bango: — Ezali Samison, bokilo ya moto moko ya Timina; pamba te abalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga oyo Samison abengisaki na feti. Bato ya Filisitia bakendeki mpe batumbaki mwasi yango elongo na tata na ye kino bakufaki.
7 Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”
Samison alobaki na bango: « Lokola bosali boye, nakotika te kino nakozongisela bino mabe na mabe. »
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cave in Etam’s rock.
Samison abundisaki bango mpe abomaki ebele kati na bango. Bongo akendeki mpe avandaki kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Etami.
9 Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na etuka ya Yuda, bapanzanaki kino na etuka ya Leyi.
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
Bato ya Yuda batunaki: — Mpo na nini boyei kobundisa biso? Bato ya Filisitia bazongiselaki bango: — Toyei kokanga Samison na basinga mpo ete tosala ye ndenge asalaki biso.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in Etam’s rock, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?” He said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
Bato nkoto misato ya Yuda bakendeki na lidusu ya mabanga ya Etami, mpe balobaki na Samison: — Oyebi te ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kokonza biso? Likambo nini osali biso? Samison azongisaki: — Nazongiseli bango makambo oyo bango basalaki ngai.
12 They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”
Bato ya Yuda balobaki na Samison: — Toyei mpo na kokanga yo na basinga mpe kokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia. Samison alobaki na bango: — Bolapa ndayi liboso na ngai ete bokoboma ngai te bino moko.
13 They spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will bind you securely and deliver you into their hands; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Bato ya Yuda bazongisaki: — Iyo! Tokoboma yo te. Tolingi kaka kokanga yo na basinga mpe kokaba yo na maboko na bango. Bongo bakangaki ye na basinga mibale ya sika mpe babimisaki ye na lidusu ya mabanga.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Tango bakomaki pembeni ya etuka ya Leyi, bato ya Filisitia bayaki kokutana na ye na koganga. Molimo na Yawe akitelaki ye na nguya, mpe basinga oyo ekangaki maboko na ye ekatanaki lokola basinga ya lino oyo eziki na moto, mpe ekweyaki wuta na maboko na ye.
15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, put out his hand, took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
Samison amonaki mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, asembolaki loboko na ye, alokotaki mokuwa yango mpe abomaki na yango bato nkoto moko.
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
Samison alobaki: « Na mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, nakangisi bango mipiku na mipiku; na mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, nabomi bato nkoto moko. »
17 When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
Tango asilisaki koloba, abwakaki mokuwa yango mosika mpe apesaki esika yango kombo « Ramati-Leyi. »
18 He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
Lokola azalaki na posa makasi ya mayi, asambelaki Yawe: « Opesi mosali na Yo elonga oyo monene; boni, nakufa sik’oyo na posa ya mayi mpe nakweya na maboko ya bato oyo bakatama ngenga te? »
19 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
Bongo Nzambe afungolaki libanga oyo ezalaki kati na Leyi, mpe libanga yango ebimisaki mayi. Tango Samison amelaki mayi, makasi na ye ezongaki mpe azwaki lisusu bomoi. Boye abengaki etima yango Eyini-Akore.
20 He judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
Samison akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale, wana bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza mokili.
