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,
Ie añe, an-tsam-pamokarañe vare-bolè, te nanese vik’ ose amy vali’ey t’i Simsone; le hoe re: Te homb’ amy valiko an-traño’e añe. Fe tsy nimein-drae’e t‘ie hizilik’ ao,
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.'
fa hoe ty rae’e: Toe nataoko t’ie niheje’o vintañe; le natoloko an-drañe’o; aa vaho tsy soa te ama’e ty zai’e? endeso hisolo aze.
3 And Samson saith of them, 'I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing with them evil.'
Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo: Halio-tahiñe amo nte-Pilistio iraho henaneo, ndra t’ie hanolorako sotry.
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,
Aa le tsinepa’ i Simsone ty fanaloke telon-jato, naho nandrambe failo; le nifanohize’e añ’ ohi’e añ’ohi’e vaho nanoa’e failo ty añivo’ ty ohy roe.
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.
Narehe’e amy zao o failoo le navotso’e amy vare nizorazora’ o nte-Pilistiooy naho fonga finorototo’ iareo o fitoboro’eo naho o nizorazorao reketse ty tanem-bahe vaho 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.
Le hoe o nte-Pilistio, Ia ty nanao zao? le hoe iereo: I Simsone, vinanto’ i nte-Timney, amy te nalae’e ty vali’e, vaho natolo’e amy mpandroro’ey. Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao o nte-Pilistio vaho nampangotomomohe’ iereo añ’afo re naho i rae’e.
7 And Samson saith to them, 'Though ye do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterwards I cease!'
Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo, Naho zao ty sata’ areo, le toe hamaleako kabò, vaho hitofa.
8 And he smiteth them hip and thigh — a great smiting, and goeth down and dwelleth in the cleft of the rock Etam.
Le linafa’e iereo an-kitsok’am-pe am-panjamanam-bey; vaho nizotso mb’ an-tevam-bato’ Etame mb’eo, nimoneñe ambone ey.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Nionjom-beo naho nitobe e Iehoda ao o nte-Pilistio vaho nivelatse niatreatre i Lehý.
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.'
Le hoe o nte-Iehodao: Ino ty nionjona’ areo haname anay? Le hoe iereo: Ty hamahotse i Simsone ty nionjona’ay, hanoe’ay ama’e i nanoa’e ama’aiy.
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.'
Aa le nizotso mb’ an-tevam-bato’ i Etame mb’eo ty nte-Iehoda telo-arivo vaho nanao ty hoe amy Simsone: Tsy fohi’o hao te manandily amantika o nte-Pilistio? Ino ze o nanoe’o ama’ay zao? Le hoe re: I nanoe’ iareo amakoy ty nanoeko am’ iereo.
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.'
Le hoe iereo tama’e, Nizotso etoan-jahay hamahotse azo, hanese azo am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio. Le hoe t’i Simsone, Mifantà amako te tsy hiambotraha’ areo.
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.
Le hoe iereo tama’e: Aiy: fa ho vihine’ay am-bahotse, le hatolo’ay am-pità’ iareo fa tsy ho vonoe’ay. Aa le vinaho’ iareo an-taly vao roe vaho nampiavote’ iareo amy vatoy,
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,
Ie nipoteake e Lehý eo, le rinambe’ o nte-Pilistio an-koràke; aa le nivotrak’ ama’e ty Arofo’ Iehovà, naho ninjare boka niforototoeñ’ afo o taly am-pità’eo, vaho nihitsañe o tali-randrañe an-tsira’eo.
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.
Nahatrea taolam-balañoràm-borìke vao re, naho nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze le nanjamañe ondaty arivo,
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.'
vaho hoe t’i Simsone: Amam-balañoràm-borìke, fitoboroñañe am-pitoboroñañe, valañoram-borìke ty nanjamanako ty arivo.
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;
Aa naho nagado’e i saontsi’ey le nahifim-pità’e añe i valañoray vaho natao ty hoe Ramate-Lehý i toetsey.
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.'
Vata’e nitaliñieren-dre henane zay, le nikanjie’e t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Fa natolo’o am-pità’ ty mpitoro’o ty fandrombahañe ra’elahy; aa vaho ho vonoe’ ty aran-drano iraho henaneo hiforetrahako am-pità’ o tsy sinavatseo?
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.
Aa le tsineran’ Añahare i nangoake e Lehiy, le niakaran-drano; ie ninoñe le nibalike i arofo’ey vaho nisotrake; aa le natao En’hakorè ty ao; mbe e Lehý ao izay henanekeo.
20 And he judgeth Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Nizaka Israele roa-polo taoñe tañ’andro’ o nte-Pilistio re.
