Judges 15
1 `Forsothe aftir sum del of tyme, whanne the daies of wheete heruest neiyiden, Sampson cam, and wolde visite his wijf, and he brouyte to hir a `kide of geet; and when he wolde entre in to hir bed bi custom, `the fadir of hir forbeed hym, and seide,
Akyiri no, awitwabere mu no, Samson faa abirekyi ba sɛ ɔde rekɔkyɛ ne yere. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ anka ɔkɔda ne nkyɛn, nanso ɔbea no agya amma no mu kwan.
2 Y gesside that thou haddist hatid hir, and therfor Y yaf hir to thi freend; but sche hath a sistir, which is yongere and fairere than sche, be sche `wijf to thee for hir.
Ɔbea no agya no kae se, “Medwenee sɛ na wotan no, ɛno nti, mede no ama ɔbarima a na odi wʼanan ase wɔ mo ayeforohyia mu no. Nanso hwɛ ne nuabea ho yɛ fɛ sen no. Ware no si anan.”
3 To whom Sampson answeride, Fro this day no blame schal be in me ayens Filistees, for Y schal do yuels to you.
Samson kae se, “Saa bere yi, obiara rentumi mmɔ me sobo wɔ biribiara a merebɛyɛ mo Filistifo ho.”
4 And he yede, and took thre hundrid foxis, and ioynede `the tailis of hem to tailis, and boond brondis in the myddis,
Afei ofii hɔ kɔe, kɔkyeree sakraman ahaasa. Ɔkyekyeree sakraman abien abien dua bɔɔ ho, na ɔkyekyeree ogyatɛn fam dua abien biara ho.
5 whiche he kyndlid with fier, and leet hem, that thei schulden renne aboute hidur and thidur; `which yeden anoon in to the cornes of Filisteis, bi whiche kyndlid, bothe cornes `borun now to gidere, and yit stondynge in the stobil, weren brent, in so myche that the flawme wastide vyneris, and `places of olyue trees.
Ɔsɔɔ ogyatɛn no na ɔmaa sakraman no tuu mmirika faa Filistifo mfuw mu. Ɔhyew wɔn awi nyinaa pasaa; nea wɔahyehyɛ wɔ san so ne nea wontwae nyinaa. Ɔsɛee wɔn bobeturo ne ngonnua nyinaa.
6 And Filisteis seiden, Who dide this thing? To whiche it was seid, Sampson, hosebonde of the `douytir of Thannathei, for he took awey Sampsones wijf, and yaf to another man, `wrouyte this thing. And Filisteis stieden, and brenten bothe the womman and hir fadir.
Filistifo no bisae se, “Na hena na ɔyɛɛ saa amumɔyɛ yi?” Wɔn ara buae se, “Ɛyɛ Samson efisɛ nʼase barima a ofi Timna de Samson yere ama ɔbarima a na odi ne nan ase wɔ wɔn ayeforohyia mu no aware.” Enti Filistifo no kɔkyeree ɔbea no ne nʼagya hyew wɔn ma wowuwui.
7 To whiche Sampson seide, Thouy ye han do this, netheles yit Y schal axe veniaunce of you, and than Y schal reste.
Samson suae se, “Esiane nea moayɛ yi nti, metua mo so ka na merennyae ara da kosi sɛ me bo bɛtɔ me yam!”
8 And he smoot hem with greet wounde, so that thei wondriden, and `puttiden the hyndrere part of the hipe on the thiy; and he yede doun, and dwellide in the denne of the stoon of Ethan.
Enti ɔde abufuw kɔtow hyɛɛ Filistifo no so kunkum wɔn mu bebree. Afei, ɔkɔtenaa ɔbodan bi a ɛwɔ ɔbotan bi mu wɔ Etam.
9 Therfor Filisteis stieden in to the lond of Juda, and settiden tentis in the place, that was clepid aftirward Lethi, that is, a cheke, wher `the oost of hem was spred a brood.
Filistifo no nso kyeree nsraban wɔ Yuda sɛee Lehi kurow no de tuaa ne so ka.
10 And men of the lynage of Juda seiden to hem, Whi `stieden ye ayens vs? Whiche answeriden, We comen that we bynde Sampson, and yelde to hym tho thingis whiche he wrouyte in vs.
Yuda mmarima bisaa Filistifo no se, “Adɛn nti na motow hyɛ yɛn so saa?” Filistifo no buae se, “Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛkyere Samson. Nea ɔyɛɛ yɛn no, yɛrebetua no so ka.”
11 Therfor thre thousynde of men of Juda yeden doun to the denne of the flynt of Ethan; and thei seiden to Sampson, Woost thou not, that Filisteis comaunden to vs? Why woldist thou do this thing? To whiche he seide.
Enti Yudafo mpensa kɔɔ ɔbodan a ɛwɔ ɔbotan mu wɔ Etam no sɛ wɔrekɔkyere Samson. Wɔka kyerɛɛ Samson sɛ, “Wunnim sɛ Filistifo na wodi yɛn so? Dɛn na woreyɛ yɛn yi?” Nanso Samson buae wɔn se, “Nea wɔyɛɛ me no na mituaa wɔn so ka.”
12 As thei diden to me, Y dide to hem. Thei seien, We comen to bynde thee, and to bitake thee in to the `hondis of Filisteis. To whiche Sampson answeride, Swere ye, and `biheete ye to me, that ye sle not me.
Nanso Yuda mmarima ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛkyekyere wo na yɛde wo akɔma Filistifo.” Samson kae se, “Monhyɛ me bɔ sɛ mo ankasa de, morenkum me.”
13 And thei seiden, We schulen not sle thee, but we schulen bitake thee boundun. And thei bounden him with twei newe cordis, and token fro the stoon of Ethan.
Wobuae se, “Yɛbɛkyekyere wo de wo akɔma Filistifo. Yɛrenkum wo.” Enti wɔde hama foforo abien guu ne so kyekyeree no papee, twee no fii ɔbotan no mu.
14 And whanne thei hadden come to the place of cheke, and Filisteis criynge hadden runne to hym, the spirit of the Lord felde in to hym, and as stikis ben wont to be wastid at the odour of fier, so and the bondis, with whiche he was boundun, weren scaterid and vnboundun.
Samson duu Lehi no, Filistifo no bɔɔ ose. Na Awurade Honhom tumi mu ahoɔden baa Samson so. Ɔtetew ahama a egu ne nsa so no mu te sɛ nhoma nketewa bi a ogya aka, maa ne nyinaa tetew fii ne nsakɔn guu fam.
15 And he took a cheke foundun, that is, the lowere cheke boon of an asse, that lay, `and he killyde `with it a thousinde men; and seide,
Afei, ɔmaa afurum abogye bi a na ɛda fam so de kunkum Filistifo apem.
16 With the cheke of an asse, that is, with the lowere cheke of a colt of femal assis, Y dide hem awey, and Y killide a thousynde men.
Na Samson kae se, “Mede afurum abogye, Ahɔre wɔn sɛ siw! Mede afurum abogye, akunkum mmarima apem!”
17 And whanne he songe these wordis, and `hadde fillid, he castide forth fro the hond the lowere cheke; and he clepide the name of that place Ramath Lethi, `which is interpretid, the reisyng of a cheke.
Na owiee kasa no, ɔtow abogye no kyenee. Na wɔtoo beae hɔ din Ramat-Lehi a ase ne Abogye bepɔw.
18 And he thristide greetly, and criede to the Lord, and seide, Thou hast youe in the hond of thi seruaunt this grettest helthe and victory; and lo! Y die for thyrst, and Y schal falle in to the hondis of vncircumcidid men.
Ɛbaa sɛ osukɔm dee Samson yiye nti osu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Wonam wʼakoa ahoɔden so adi saa nkonim kɛse yi. Na enti osukɔm nkum me, na minwu wɔ saa abosonsomfo yi nsam ana?”
19 Therfor the Lord openyde a wang tooth in the cheke boon of the asse, and watris yeden out therof, `bi whiche drunkun he refreischide the spirit, and resseuede strengthis; therfor the name of that place was clepid the Welle of the clepere of the cheke `til to present dai.
Enti Awurade maa nsu pue fii tokuru bi mu wɔ Lehi asase so baabi. Na Samson nom bi no, ne ho san no. Na ɔtoo hɔ din se En-Hakore, na ɛda so wɔ Lehi de besi nnɛ.
20 And he demyde Israel in the daies of Filistiym twenti yeer.
Samson yɛɛ Israel so temmufo mfe aduonu; bere a na Filistifo di Israel asase so no.
