Judges 15
1 And it cometh to pass, after [some] days, in the days of wheat-harvest, that Samson looketh after his wife, with a kid of the goats, and saith, 'I go in unto my wife, to the inner chamber;' and her father hath not permitted 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 and her father saith, I certainly said, that thou didst certainly hate her, and I give her to thy companion; is not her sister — the young one — better than she? Let her be, I pray thee, to thee, instead of her.'
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 And Samson saith of them, 'I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing with them evil.'
Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ Afilisti; ti-itherũ nĩngũmeka ũũru biũ.”
4 And Samson goeth and catcheth three hundred foxes, and taketh torches, and turneth tail unto tail, and putteth a torch between the two tails, in the midst,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara, akĩnyiita mbwe magana matatũ, agĩciohithania mĩtingʼoe igĩrĩ igĩrĩ. Agĩcooka akĩoherera gĩcinga harĩ o mĩtingʼoe ĩyo ĩĩrĩ ĩĩrĩ,
5 and kindleth fire in the torches, and sendeth [them] out into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burneth [it] from heap even unto standing corn, even unto vineyard — olive-yard.
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 And the Philistines say, 'Who hath done this?' And they say, 'Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken away his wife, and giveth her to his companion;' and the Philistines go up, and burn her and her father with fire.
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 And Samson saith to them, 'Though ye do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterwards I cease!'
Nake Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩ ũguo mweka, ndikũmũtigithĩria nginya ndĩĩrĩhĩrie kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
8 And he smiteth them hip and thigh — a great smiting, and goeth down and dwelleth in the cleft of the rock Etam.
Agĩkĩmatharĩkĩra na ũũru mũnene na akĩũraga aingĩ ao. Agĩcooka agĩikũrũka na agĩikara ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Nao Afilisti makĩambata na makĩamba hema kũu Juda, makĩaragana gũkuhĩ na Lehi.
10 and the men of Judah say, 'Why have ye come up against us?' and they say, 'To bind Samson we have come up, to do to him as he hath 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 And three thousand men of Judah go down unto the cleft of the rock Etam, and say to Samson, 'Hast thou now known that the Philistines are rulers over us? and what [is] this thou hast done to us?' And he saith to them, 'As they did to me, so I did 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 And they say to him, 'To bind thee we have come down — to give thee into the hand of the Philistines.' And Samson saith to them, 'Swear to me, lest ye fall upon me yourselves.'
Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte gũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ Afilisti.” Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩtei atĩ ti inyuĩ mũkũnjũraga.”
13 And they speak to him, saying, No, but we certainly bind thee, and have given thee into their hand, and we certainly do not put thee to death;' and they bind him with two thick bands, new ones, and bring 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 He hath come unto Lehi — and the Philistines have shouted at meeting him — and the Spirit of Jehovah prospereth over him, and the thick bands which [are] on his arms are as flax which they burn with fire, and his bands are wasted from 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 and he findeth a fresh jaw-bone of an ass, and putteth forth his hand and taketh it, and smiteth with it — a thousand men.
Akĩona rũkambucu rwa ndigiri rũtaarĩ rũkũrũ, akĩrũhuria na akĩũraga andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
16 And Samson saith, 'With a jaw-bone of the ass — an ass upon asses — with a jaw-bone of the ass I have smitten 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 And it cometh to pass when he finisheth speaking, that he casteth away the jaw-bone out of his hand, and calleth that place Ramath-Lehi;
Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kwaria-rĩ, agĩte rũkambucu rũu; naho handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Ramathu-Lehi.
18 and he thirsteth exceedingly, and calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Thou — Thou hast given by the hand of Thy servant this great salvation; and now, I die with thirst, and have fallen into the hand of the 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 And God cleaveth the hollow place which [is] in Lehi, and waters come out of it, and he drinketh, and his spirit cometh back, and he reviveth; therefore hath [one] called its name 'The fountain of him who is calling,' which [is] in Lehi unto 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 And he judgeth Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samusoni aatiirĩrĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Afilisti.
