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,
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 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.'
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 And Samson saith of them, 'I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing with them evil.'
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Samson saith to them, 'Though ye do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterwards I cease!'
Samison alobaki na bango: « Lokola bosali boye, nakotika te kino nakozongisela bino mabe na mabe. »
8 And he smiteth them hip and thigh — a great smiting, and goeth down and dwelleth in the cleft of the rock Etam.
Samison abundisaki bango mpe abomaki ebele kati na bango. Bongo akendeki mpe avandaki kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Etami.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na etuka ya Yuda, bapanzanaki kino na etuka ya Leyi.
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.'
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 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.'
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
Samison amonaki mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, asembolaki loboko na ye, alokotaki mokuwa yango mpe abomaki na yango bato nkoto moko.
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.'
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 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;
Tango asilisaki koloba, abwakaki mokuwa yango mosika mpe apesaki esika yango kombo « Ramati-Leyi. »
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.'
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 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.
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 And he judgeth Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samison akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale, wana bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza mokili.
