Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo 14
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Samson yi Timna eye wòkpɔ Filisti ɖetugbi aɖe.
Therfor Sampson yede doun in to Thannatha, and he siy there a womman of `the douytris of Filisteis;
2 Esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, egblɔ na fofoa kple dadaa bena yedi be yeaɖee.
and he stiede, and telde to his fadir and `to his modir, and seide, Y siy a womman in Thannatha of the `douytris of Filistees, and Y biseche, that ye take hir a wijf to me.
3 Dzilawo melɔ̃ ɖe edzi nɛ kura o, wobiae be, “Nu ka ta màɖe Yuda ɖetugbi aɖeke o? Nu ka ta nàɖe srɔ̃ tso Filistitɔ, ame siwo nye trɔ̃subɔlawo dome? Nyɔnuvi aɖeke mele Israelviwo dome nàte ŋu aɖe oa?” Ke Samson gblɔ na fofoa be, “Eya koe nye ame si medi be maɖe. Ɖee nam.”
To whom his fadir and modir seiden, Whether no womman is among the douytris of thi britheren and in al my puple, for thou wolt take a wijf of Filisteis, that ben vncircumcidid? And Sampson seide to his fadir, Take thou this wijf to me, for sche pleside myn iyen.
4 Fofoa kple dadaa medze sii be Mawue nɔ mɔ trem na Filistitɔwo, ame siwo nye Israel dziɖulawo le ɣe ma ɣi o.
Forsothe his fadir and modir wisten not, that the thing was don of the Lord; and that he souyte occasiouns ayens Filisteis; for in that tyme Filisteis weren lordis of Israel.
5 Gbe ɖeka esi Samson kple edzilawo yina Timna la, dzatavi aɖe nɔ gbe tem helũ ɖe Samson dzi le waingble aɖe me le dua gbɔ lɔƒo.
Therfor Sampson yede doun with his fadir and modir in to Thannatha; and whanne thei hadden come to the vyneris of the citee, a fers and rorynge `whelp of a lioun apperide, and ran to Sampson.
6 Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va edzi eye esi lãnu aɖeke menɔ esi o la, etsɔ asi ƒuƒlu fe dzata la ƒe glã bɔbɔe abe gbɔ̃vi aɖe tɔ ene! Ke Samson megblɔ nya aɖeke tso nu sia ŋuti na dzilawo o.
Forsothe the spirit of the Lord felde in to Sampson, and he to-rente the lioun, as if he `to-rendide a kide `in to gobetis, and outerli he hadde no thing in the hond; and he nolde schewe this to the fadir and modir.
7 Esi woɖo Timna la, eƒo nu kple ɖetugbi la eye wòkpɔ be eya tututu dim yele. Ale wowɔ srɔ̃ɖeɖe la ŋu ɖoɖowo.
And he yede doun, and spak to the womman, that pleside hise iyen.
8 Esi Samson trɔ tso Timna gbɔna la, edze yi gbe me be yeakpɔ dzata kuku la ɖa. Kasia ekpɔ anyiwo kple anyitsi le eme.
And aftir summe daies he turnede ayen to take hir `in to matrimonye; and he `bowide awey to se the `careyn of the lioun; and lo! a gaderyng of bees was in the `mouth of the lioun, and `a coomb of hony.
9 Eɖe anyitsi la, ɖu ɖe le mɔa dzi eye wòna ɖe fofoa kple dadaa gake megblɔ na wo be dzata ƒe dɔ me ye yekpɔe tsoe o.
And whanne he hadde take it in hondis, he eet in the weie; and he cam to his fadir and modir, and yaf part `to hem, and thei eeten; netheles he nolde schewe to hem, that he hadde take hony of the `mouth of the lioun.
10 Azɔ la, esi fofoa yi be yeakpɔ nyɔnu la la, Samson ɖo kplɔ̃ le afi ma abe ale si ɖekakpuiviwo wɔna ene.
And so his fadir yede doun to the womman, and made a feeste to his sone Sampson; for yonge men weren wont to do so.
11 Esi Samson va ɖo la, wotsɔ ɖekakpui blaetɔ̃ kpe ɖe eŋu.
Therfor whanne the citeseyns of that place hadden seyn hym, thei yauen to hym thretti felowis, whiche schulen be with hym.
12 Samson gblɔ na wo be, “Mina mato adzo na mi. Ne miete ŋu ɖe egɔme nam le azãɖuɖua ƒe ŋkeke adreawo me la, matsɔ aklala biɖibiɖiwu blaetɔ̃ kple atsyɔ̃ɖowu blaetɔ̃ na mi.
To whiche Sampson spak, Y schal putte forth to you a probleme, `that is, a douyteful word and priuy, and if ye `asoilen it to me with ynne seuen daies of the feeste, Y schal yyue to you thretti lynnun clothis, and cootis `of the same noumbre; sotheli if ye moun not soyle,
13 Ke ne miete ŋu ɖe egɔme o la, ekema miawo hã miatsɔ aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu blaetɔ̃ kple atsyɔ̃ɖowu blaetɔ̃ nam.” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “To wò adzo la na mí, na míase wò adzo la.”
ye schulen yyue to me thretti lynnun clothis, and cootis `of the same noumbre. Whiche answeriden to hym, Sette forth the probleme, that we here it.
14 Adzo si wòto lae nye, “Nuɖuɖu do tso nuɖula me eye nu vivi do tso nu sesẽ me!” Ŋkeke etɔ̃ va yi, womete ŋu ɖe adzo la gɔme o.
And he seide to hem, Mete yede out of the etere, and swetnesse yede out of the stronge. And bi thre daies thei myyten not assoile the `proposicioun, that is, the resoun set forth.
15 Le ŋkeke enea gbe la, wogblɔ na Samson srɔ̃ be, “Ble srɔ̃wò nu ne wòaɖe adzo la gɔme na mí. Ne menye nenema o la, míatɔ dzo wò kple fofowò ƒe aƒekɔ la miaku. Ɖe miekpe mí va afi siae be miada adzo mía?”
And whanne the seuenthe dai cam, thei seiden to `the wijf of Sampson, Glose thin hosebonde, and counseile hym, that he schewe to thee what the probleme signyfieth. That if thou nylt do, we schulen brenne thee and `the hous of thi fadir. Whether herfor ye clepiden vs to weddyngis, that ye schulden robbe vs?
16 Tete Samson srɔ̃ tsɔ eɖokui ƒu Samson dzi, nɔ hehe ɖom be, “Èlé fum! Mèlɔ̃m kura o. Èto adzo na nye amewo gake mèɖe egɔme nam o.” Samson ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nyemeɖe egɔme na fofonye alo danye gɔ̃ hã o. Nu ka tae maɖe egɔme na wò ya?”
And sche schedde teerys at Sampson, and pleynede, and seide, Thou hatist me, and louest not, therfor thou nylt expowne to me the probleme, which thou settidist forth to the sones of my puple. And he answeride, Y nolde seie to my fadir and modir, and schal Y mow schewe to thee?
17 Nyɔnu la fa avi le azãɖuɖu ƒe ŋkeke adreawo katã me. Ale le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, egblɔe nɛ mlɔeba elabena nyɔnu la nɔ fu ɖem nɛ akpa. Ale nyɔnu la yi ɖagblɔ adzo la ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe na wo detɔwo.
Therfor bi seuene dayes of the feest sche wepte at hym; at the laste `he expownede in the seuenthe dai, whanne sche was diseseful to hym. And anoon sche telde to hir citeseyns.
18 Ale hafi ɣe naɖo to le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, ɖekapuiawo ɖe adzo la gɔme na Samson be, “Nu kae vivina wu anyitsi eye nu kae sesẽ wu dzata?” Samson gblɔ na wo be, “Ne menye nye ŋutɔ nye nyivie mietsɔ ŋlɔ agblea o la, anye ne miete ŋu nya nye adzo la ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe o.”
And thei seiden to hym in the seuenthe dai bifor the goyng doun of the sunne, What is swettere than hony, and what is strengere than a lioun? And he seide to hem, If ye hadden not erid in my cow calf, `that is, my wijf, ye hadden not founde my proposicioun.
19 Tete Aƒetɔ la ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va Samson dzi kple ŋusẽ, eyi Askelon du la me, wu ŋutsu blaetɔ̃, ɖe woƒe awuwo eye wòtsɔ wo na ɖekakpui siwo ɖe adzo la gɔme. Ke dɔ me vee eya ta wògblẽ srɔ̃a ɖi eye wòdzo yi fofoa ƒe aƒe me.
Therfor the spirit of the Lord felde in to hym; and he yede doun to Ascalon, and killyde there thretti men, whose clothis he took awey, and he yaf to hem that soiliden the probleme; and he was ful wrooth, and stiede in to `the hows of his fadir.
20 Ale wotsɔ Samson srɔ̃ na ŋutsu si nɔ Samson ŋu le esime wòlé alɔ kple srɔ̃a.
Forsothe his wijf took an hosebonde, oon of the frendis and keperis `of hir.
