Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo 16
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Samson yi Filistitɔwo ƒe du si woyɔna be Gaza la me eye wòtsi gbolo aɖe gbɔ dɔ.
USamsoni wasesiya eGaza, wabona khona umfazi, iwule, wangena kulo.
2 Wofi tofi na amewo be wokpɔ Samson le dua me eya ta wona nyanya duŋudzɔlawo. Ŋutsu geɖewo de xa ɖi nɛ zã blibo la le dua ƒe agbo nu, ale be ne eva dzo yina la, yewoalée. Wogblɔ le wo ɖokui dome be, “Ne ŋu ke eye asifli le dzedzem ko la, míakpɔe alée, awui.”
Kwabikwa kwabeGaza kuthiwa: USamsoni ufikile lapha. Bamzingelezela, bamcathamela ubusuku bonke esangweni lomuzi; bathula ubusuku bonke besithi: Kuze kukhanye ekuseni, khona sizambulala.
3 Samson mlɔ anyi kple gbolo la va se ɖe zãtitina. Efɔ heyi dua ƒe agbo la gbɔ. Eho agbo la kple eƒe atiwo le tome kpe ɖe gametiawo ŋu, tsɔ wo ɖe abɔta heyi ɖada ɖe to aɖe tame le Hebron ƒe akpa kɛme.
USamsoni waselala kwaze kwaba phakathi kobusuku; wavuka phakathi kobusuku, wabamba izivalo zesango lomuzi, lensika zombili, wazisiphuna lomgoqo, wakwetshata emahlombe akhe, wakwenyusela engqongeni yentaba ephambi kweHebroni.
4 Azɔ la, Samson dze ahiã ɖetugbi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Delila ame si nɔ Sorek ƒe balime.
Kwathi emva kwalokho wathanda owesifazana esihotsheni seSoreki, obizo lakhe linguDelila.
5 Filistitɔwo ƒe kplɔla atɔ̃awo katã va yi Ɖelila gbɔ, eye wobia tso esi be wòable Samson nu ne wòagblɔ eƒe ŋusẽ ƒe dzɔtsoƒe nɛ ne wòava gblɔ na yewo ale be yewoate ŋu akpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe edzi alée, ablae awɔ fui. Ne ete ŋu wɔ nenema la, ekema yewo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atsɔ klosalo akpe ɖeka kple alafa ɖeka anae.
Njalo iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zenyukela kuye zathi kuye: Myenge ubone ukuthi akukuphi amandla akhe amakhulu, lokuthi singamehlula ngani, ukuthi simbophe ukuze simnqobe. Thina-ke sizakunika ngamunye izinhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane lekhulu.
6 Nu sia na Delila ɖe kuku na Samson be wòagblɔ eƒe nya ɣaɣla la na ye. Egblɔ be, “Meɖe kuku, gblɔ nu si na wò lãme sesẽna alea la nam, nyemebu be ame aɖeke ate ŋu alé wò o!”
UDelila wasesithi kuSamsoni: Ake ungitshele ukuthi akukuphi amandla akho amakhulu, lokuthi ungabotshwa ngani ukukunqoba.
7 Samson gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne woablam kple datimeka yeye adre la, magbɔdzɔ abe ame bubuwo ene.”
USamsoni wasesithi kuye: Uba bengibopha ngentambo eziyisikhombisa ezintsha ezingomanga, ngizakuba buthakathaka ngibe njengomunye umuntu.
8 Ale wotsɔ datimeka yeye adre na Ɖelila eye esi Samson dɔ alɔ̃ la, Ɖelila blae kple ka adreawo,
Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zasezisenyusela kuye intambo eziyisikhombisa ezintsha ezingomanga; wasembopha ngazo.
9 le esime ŋutsu aɖewo be ɖe xɔ evelia me. Esi Ɖelila blae vɔ ko la, edo ɣli sesĩe be, “Samson, Filistitɔwo ƒo ɖe dziwò!” Samson tso kaawo enumake abe ale si dzo lãa ɖetikawo ene. Ale womenya nu si tututu mee eƒe ŋusẽ triakɔ la le o.
Abacathemeyo-ke bahlala laye endlini engaphakathi; wasesithi kuye: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni! Waziqamula intambo njengentambo yefilakisi iqamuka nxa isizwa umlilo. Ngakho amandla akhe kawaziwanga.
10 Emegbe la, Delila gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖeko nètsɔm abe nu ɖikokoe aɖe ko ene hele bleyem, meɖe kuku, gblɔ nu si tututu woawɔ hafi ate ŋu alé wò la nam dzro!”
UDelila wasesithi kuSamsoni: Khangela, udlale ngami wangitshela amanga. Khathesi ake ungitshele ukuthi ungabotshwa ngani.
11 Samson ɖo eŋu be, “Ne woblam kple ka yeye siwo wometsɔ bla nanekee kpɔ o la, ekema magbɔdzɔ abe ame bubuwo ene.”
Wasesithi kuye: Uba bengangibopha lokungibopha ngamagoda amatsha okungenziwanga msebenzi ngawo, ngizakuba buthakathaka ngibe njengomunye umuntu.
12 Ale esi Samson dɔ alɔ̃ la, Delila tsɔ ka yeyewo blae. Ŋutsuwo gabe ɖe xɔ evelia me abe tsã ene eye Ɖelila do ɣli be, “Samson, Filistitɔwo va be yewoalé wò!” Samson tso kaawo abe yiyiɖɔ ƒe kawoe wonye ene!
Ngakho uDelila wathatha amagoda amatsha, wambopha ngawo, wathi kuye: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni! Abacathemeyo babehlezi endlini engaphakathi. Kodwa wawaqamula asuka engalweni zakhe njengomnxeba.
13 Delila gagblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖeko nègatsɔm abe nu ɖikokoe aɖe ko ene, gblɔ ale si woate ŋu alé wòe la nam azɔ.” Samson gblɔ be, “Ne èlɔ̃ nye ɖakɔ adreawo abe ale si wolɔ̃a avɔe ene la, magbɔdzɔ abe ame bubuwo ene.” Ale esi Samson dɔ alɔ̃ la, Ɖelila lɔ̃ ɖakɔ adreawo
UDelila wasesithi kuSamsoni: Kuze kube khathesi udlale ngami, wangitshela amanga; ngitshela ukuthi ungabotshwa ngani. Wasesithi kuye: Uba useluka amaxha enwele zekhanda lami ayisikhombisa ngezintambo ezelukiweyo.
14 eye wòtsɔ ɖalénu lée. Azɔ edo ɣli be, “Samson, Filistitɔwo ƒo ɖe dziwò!” Samson nyɔ eye wòtu ɖa babla la.
Wasewaqinisa ngesikhonkwane; wathi kuye: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni! Wasevuka ebuthongweni bakhe, wasusa isikhonkwane seselukiso lentambo ezelukiweyo.
15 Ɖelila fa konyi be, “Aleke nàte ŋu agblɔ be yelɔ̃m gake màte ŋu agblɔ wò nya ɣaɣla nam o? Èblem zi etɔ̃ sɔŋ eye mègblɔ afi si wò ŋusẽ le la nam o!”
Wasesithi kuye: Ungatsho njani ukuthi: Ngiyakuthanda; nxa inhliziyo yakho ingelami? Lezizikhathi ezintathu udlale ngami, kawungitshelanga ukuthi akukuphi amandla akho amakhulu.
16 Mlɔeba la, le eƒe gbe sia gbe ƒe nyatoƒitoto kple fuɖename ta la, ɖeɖi te Samson ŋu.
Kwasekusithi lapho emcindezela ngamazwi akhe insuku zonke, wamkhathaza, kwaze kwathi umphefumulo wakhe wadabuka kwaze kwaba sekufeni.
17 Ale Samson gblɔ nya sia nya nɛ be, “Womelũ ta nam kpɔ o elabena menye Naziritɔ si woɖe ɖe aga na Mawu tso nye dzidzime ke. Ne woalũ ta nam la, nye ŋusẽ adzo le gbɔnye eye magbɔdzɔ abe ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe ene.”
Ngakho wamtshela inhliziyo yakhe yonke wathi kuye: Impuco kayizanga ize phezu kwekhanda lami, ngoba ngingumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kusukela esizalweni sikamama. Uba ngiphucwa, amandla ami azasuka kimi, ngibe buthakathaka ngibe njengaye wonke umuntu.
18 Delila dze sii bena egblɔ nyateƒe la na ye mlɔeba eya ta wòɖo du ɖe Filistitɔwo ƒe kplɔla atɔ̃awo. Egblɔ na wo be, “Migava zi ɖeka ko elabena azɔ ya la, egblɔ nya sia nya nam.” Tete Filisitɔwo ƒe amegãwo va eye wotsɔ klosalo ɖe asi.
Lapho uDelila ebona ukuthi umtshele inhliziyo yakhe yonke, wathuma wabiza iziphathamandla zamaFilisti esithi: Yenyukani ngalesisikhathi, ngoba ungitshele inhliziyo yakhe yonke. Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zasezisenyukela kuye, zaletha imali esandleni sazo.
19 Ɖelila ble Samson nu wòdɔ alɔ̃ ɖe eƒe atata. Eyɔ ame aɖe vɛ, wòko Samson ƒe ɖakɔ adreawo nɛ, ale Samson de asi gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔ me, eye eƒe ŋusẽ dzo. Ɖelila de asi kɔtutui me elabena ekpɔ be eƒe ŋusẽ dzi nɔ ɖeɖem kpɔtɔ.
Wasemlalisa ubuthongo emadolweni akhe, wabiza umuntu, wamgelisa amaxha ayisikhombisa enwele zekhanda lakhe. Waseqala ukumhlupha, lamandla akhe asuka kuye.
20 Azɔ edo ɣli be, “Samson, Filistitɔwo ƒo ɖe dziwò!” Samson nyɔ hebu le ta me be, “Mawɔ abe tsã ene. Maʋuʋu ɖokuinye eye magado tso woƒe asi me.” Ke medze sii be Yehowa dzo le ye gbɔ o.
Wasesithi: AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samsoni! Wasevuka ebuthongweni bakhe wathi: Ngizaphuma njengakwezinye izikhathi, ngizinyikinye. Kodwa yena wayengazi ukuthi iNkosi isukile kuye.
21 Ale Filistitɔwo lée, wogbã eƒe ŋkuwo, kplɔe yi Gaza, de gae kple akɔblikɔsɔkɔsɔ eye wona wòtua bli abe gaxɔmenɔla ene.
Khona amaFilisti ambamba, amkopola amehlo, amehlisela eGaza, ambopha ngezibopho zethusi; njalo wayechola entolongweni.
22 Ke sẽe ko la, eƒe ɖa gade asi toto me.
Kodwa inwele zekhanda lakhe zaqala ukukhula emva kokuphucwa kwakhe.
23 Azɔ la, Filistitɔwo ƒe dukplɔlawo ƒo ƒu be yewoasa vɔ na Dagon, woƒe mawu eye yewoaɖu ŋkekenyui elabena wogblɔ be, “Míaƒe mawu tsɔ Samson, míaƒe futɔ, de asi na mí.”
Khona iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zabuthana ukuze zihlabele uDagoni unkulunkulu wazo umhlatshelo omkhulu, zithokoze, zathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele uSamsoni isitha sethu esandleni sethu.
24 Esi ameawo kpɔe la, wokafu woƒe mawu eye wogblɔ be, “Míaƒe mawu tsɔ míaƒe futɔ la de asi na mí, ame si gblẽ míaƒe anyigba eye wòwu mía dometɔ geɖewo.”
Lapho abantu bembona badumisa unkulunkulu wabo, ngoba bathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele esandleni sethu isitha sethu, ngitsho umchithi welizwe lakithi, njalo owenza baba banengi ababuleweyo bethu.
25 Wain si wono la na wokpɔ dzidzɔ eye wogblɔ be, “Miyɔ Samson ɖa wòava ɖe modzaka na mí.” Ale wokplɔe tso gaxɔ la me eye wòva ɖe modzaka na wo le Dagon subɔƒe. Esime wònɔ sɔti eve siwo tsɔ xɔgbagba la dome la,
Kwasekusithi lapho inhliziyo zabo zithokoza bathi: Bizani uSamsoni ukuze azesidlalela. Basebembiza uSamsoni evela entolongweni, wadlala phambi kwabo. Basebemmisa phakathi kwezinsika.
26 Samson gblɔ na ɖekakpui si lé eƒe alɔnu le ekplɔm la be, “Tsɔ nye asiwo ɖo sɔti eveawo ŋu. Medi be maziɔ ɖe wo ŋu ne madzudzɔ sẽe.”
USamsoni wasesithi emfaneni owayembambe ngesandla: Ngiyekela ngithinte izinsika indlu emi phezu kwazo ukuze ngeyame kuzo.
27 Amewo yɔ xɔ la taŋtaŋ; Filistitɔwo ƒe kplɔla atɔ̃awo kple ame bubu akpe etɔ̃ nɔ xɔ la tame henɔ Samson ƒe modzakaɖename ƒe nuwɔnawo kpɔm.
Indlu yayigcwele-ke abesilisa labesifazana; lazo zonke iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zazikhona, laphezulu ephahleni kwakukhona abesilisa labesifazana abangaba zinkulungwane ezintathu ababebukele uSamsoni edlala.
28 Samson do gbe ɖa na Aƒetɔ la hegblɔ be, “Oo, Yehowa, Aƒetɔ Mawu, gaɖo ŋku dzinye. Meɖe kuku, gado ŋusẽm zi ɖeka ko, ale be mate ŋu abia hlɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ɖe nye ŋku siwo wogbã la dometɔ ɖeka pɛ ko ta.”
USamsoni wasekhala eNkosini wathi: Nkosi Jehova, ngikhumbule ngiyakuncenga, ungiqinise ngiyakuncenga, kuphela ngalesisikhathi, Nkulunkulu, ukuze ngiziphindisele ngokuphindisela okukodwa kumaFilisti ngenxa yamehlo ami amabili.
29 Samson tsɔ eƒe ŋusẽ katã tutu sɔtiawo sesĩe
USamsoni wasebamba insika ezimbili eziphakathi, indlu eyayimi kuzo, waqina ngazo, enye ngesandla sakhe sokunene lenye ngesandla sakhe sokhohlo.
30 le esime wòdo gbe ɖa be, “Na maku kple Filistitɔ siawo.” Tete gbedoxɔ la ƒe dzisasã ge dze Filistitɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo kple ameawo katã dzi eye woku. Ale ame siwo Samson wu le eƒe kuɣi la sɔ gbɔ wu ame siwo wòwu le eƒe agbenɔɣi blibo la me.
USamsoni wasesithi: Mina kangife lamaFilisti. Wasekhothama ngamandla; njalo indlu yawela phezu kweziphathamandla laphezu kwabo bonke abantu ababekuyo. Ngakho abafayo ababulala ekufeni kwakhe babe banengi okwedlula labo ababulala empilweni yakhe.
31 Le esiawo megbe la, nɔviawo kple ƒometɔwo va be woaxɔ eƒe kukua, wokɔe yi eƒe anyigba dzi eye woɖii ɖe Zora kple Estaol dome, afi si woɖi fofoa, Manoa ɖo. Samson nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la na Israel ƒe blaeve.
