Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo 14
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Samson yi Timna eye wòkpɔ Filisti ɖetugbi aɖe.
USamsoni waya eThimina wabona intombi engumFilistiya.
2 Esi wòtrɔ gbɔ la, egblɔ na fofoa kple dadaa bena yedi be yeaɖee.
Esebuyele, wathi kuyise lonina, “Ngibone intombi engumFilistiya eThimina; ake liyengithathela yona ukuba ibe ngumkami.”
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.”
Uyise lonina baphendula bathi, “Kanti akulantombi eyamukelekayo yini phakathi kwezihlobo zakho loba phakathi kwabantu bonke bakithi? Usungaze uye kumaFilistiya angasokanga ukuba uthathe umfazi na?” Kodwa uSamsoni wathi kuyise, “Ngithathela yena. Nguye ongifaneleyo.”
4 Fofoa kple dadaa medze sii be Mawue nɔ mɔ trem na Filistitɔwo, ame siwo nye Israel dziɖulawo le ɣe ma ɣi o.
(Uyise lonina babengazi ukuthi lokhu kwakuvela kuThixo, owayefuna ithuba lokumelana lamaFilistiya; ngoba ngalesosikhathi ayebusa abako-Israyeli.)
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.
USamsoni waya eThimina eloyise lonina. Bathe sebebanga ezivinini zeThimina kwathutsha ibhuklwana lesilwane libhonga liqonde yena.
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.
Umoya kaThixo wafika kuye ngamandla wasidabula ngezandla zakhe njengayengakwenza edabula izinyane lembuzi. Kodwa uyise lonina kabatshelanga ayekwenzile.
7 Esi woɖo Timna la, eƒo nu kple ɖetugbi la eye wòkpɔ be eya tututu dim yele. Ale wowɔ srɔ̃ɖeɖe la ŋu ɖoɖowo.
Emva kwalokho wahamba wayakhuluma lowesifazane lowo, wezwa emthanda.
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.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile, esebuyele ukuba ayemthatha, waphambuka ukuba abone isidumbu sesilwane. Phakathi kwaso kwasekulomtshitshi wezinyosi ziloluju,
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.
waluthapha ngezandla zakhe, wahamba eludla. Esefike ebazalini bakhe, wabapha olunye kodwa kabatshelanga ukuthi wayeluthaphe esidunjini sesilwane.
10 Azɔ la, esi fofoa yi be yeakpɔ nyɔnu la la, Samson ɖo kplɔ̃ le afi ma abe ale si ɖekakpuiviwo wɔna ene.
Uyise wahamba ukuyabona owesifazane lowo. USamsoni wenza idili khona, njengokwakungumkhuba wezinsizwa ezithathayo.
11 Esi Samson va ɖo la, wotsɔ ɖekakpui blaetɔ̃ kpe ɖe eŋu.
Ekufikeni kwakhe waphiwa abakhaphi abangamatshumi amathathu.
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.
USamsoni wasesithi kubo, “Lalelani ngilitshele ilibho. Lingangitshela ukuthi litshoni phakathi kwensuku eziyisikhombisa zedili, ngizalinika izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.
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.”
Nxa lingehluleka ukungitshela ukuthi litshoni, kumele linginike izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.” Bona bathi, “Sitshele ilibho lakho. Litsho silizwe.”
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.
Waphendula wathi, “Kokudlayo, kwaphuma okudliwayo; kokulamandla kwaphuma okumnandi.” Behluleka ukuyitsho impendulo okwensuku ezintathu.
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?”
Ngosuku lwesine bathi kumkaSamsoni, “Ncenga umkakho asichazele ilibho, hlezi sikutshise wena labendlu yakwenu life. Kanti usinxusele ukuzasiphanga lapha na?”
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?”
Lapho-ke umkaSamsoni waziphosela phezu kwakhe, ebubula esithi, “Uyangizonda. Kawungithandi ngeqiniso. Unike abantu bakithi ilibho; kodwa mina kawungitshelanga ukuthi litshoni.” Yena waphendula wathi, “Angilichazanga lakubaba lomama, pho ngingalichazelani kuwe na?”
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.
Owesifazane lowo wakhala zonke lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa zedili. Ngakho ngosuku lwesikhombisa wamtshela, ngoba wayelokhu emphikelela. Laye-ke walichaza ilibho ebantwini bakibo.
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.”
Kwathi ilanga lingakatshoni ngosuku lwesikhombisa abantu bakulowomuzi bathi kuye, “Kuyini okumnandi kuloluju na? Kuyini okulamandla kulesilwane na?” USamsoni wathi kubo, “Aluba kalilimanga ngethokazi lami, belingeke lilichaze ilibho lami.”
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.
UMoya kaThixo wasusehlela phezu kwakhe ngamandla. Waya e-Ashikheloni, wabulala abantu bakhona abangamatshumi amathathu, wabemuka konke ababelakho kwathi izigqoko zabo wazinika labo ababechaze ilibho lakhe. Waya endlini kayise evutha ulaka.
20 Ale wotsɔ Samson srɔ̃ na ŋutsu si nɔ Samson ŋu le esime wòlé alɔ kple srɔ̃a.
UmkaSamsoni wasesendiselwa komunye wabakhaphi bakhe owayekhona edilini.
