Atiirĩrĩri 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, Samusoni agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ Timina, na kũu akĩona mũirĩtu Mũfilisti.
USamsoni waya eThimina wabona intombi engumFilistiya.
2 Acooka mũciĩ, akĩĩra ithe na nyina atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyonete mũndũ-wa-nja Mũfilisti kũu Timina; rĩu-rĩ, ngũrĩrai we atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
Esebuyele, wathi kuyise lonina, “Ngibone intombi engumFilistiya eThimina; ake liyengithathela yona ukuba ibe ngumkami.”
3 Ithe na nyina makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũtarĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũngĩĩtĩkĩrĩka gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a mũhĩrĩga wanyu o na kana gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ aitũ othe? No nginya ũthiĩ kwa Afilisti acio mataruaga ũgĩĩre mũtumia kuo”? No Samusoni akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Ngũrĩra ũcio. Ũcio nowe ũnjagĩrĩire.”
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 (Aciari ake matiamenyaga atĩ ũndũ ũcio woimĩte kũrĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wacaragia handũ ha kũrutia Afilisti amokĩrĩre, nĩ ũndũ hĩndĩ ĩyo Afilisti nĩo maathaga Isiraeli.)
(Uyise lonina babengazi ukuthi lokhu kwakuvela kuThixo, owayefuna ithuba lokumelana lamaFilistiya; ngoba ngalesosikhathi ayebusa abako-Israyeli.)
5 Samusoni agĩikũrũka Timina marĩ hamwe na ithe na nyina. Na rĩrĩa makuhĩrĩirie mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ ya Timina-rĩ, o rĩmwe kĩana kĩa mũrũũthi gĩgĩũka na kũrĩ we kĩmũraramĩire.
USamsoni waya eThimina eloyise lonina. Bathe sebebanga ezivinini zeThimina kwathutsha ibhuklwana lesilwane libhonga liqonde yena.
6 Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya nginya agĩtarũranga mũrũũthi ũcio na moko matheri o ta ũrĩa angĩtarũranga koori. No ndaigana kwĩra ithe o na kana nyina ũrĩa ekĩte.
Umoya kaThixo wafika kuye ngamandla wasidabula ngezandla zakhe njengayengakwenza edabula izinyane lembuzi. Kodwa uyise lonina kabatshelanga ayekwenzile.
7 Nake agĩcooka agĩikũrũka makĩaranĩria na mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio, na akĩmwenda.
Emva kwalokho wahamba wayakhuluma lowesifazane lowo, wezwa emthanda.
8 Thuutha ũcio, rĩrĩa aacookaga akamũhikie-rĩ, agĩkerũra oone kĩimba kĩa mũrũũthi ũcio. Thĩinĩ wakĩo haarĩ na mũrumbĩ wa njũkĩ na ũũkĩ,
Emva kwesikhathi esithile, esebuyele ukuba ayemthatha, waphambuka ukuba abone isidumbu sesilwane. Phakathi kwaso kwasekulomtshitshi wezinyosi ziloluju,
9 ũrĩa aatahire na hĩ, agĩthiĩ akĩrĩĩaga. Na rĩrĩa aakinyĩrire aciari ake, akĩmagaĩra ũũkĩ ũcio o nao makĩũrĩa. Nowe ndaigana kũmeera atĩ aarutĩte ũũkĩ ũcio kĩimba-inĩ kĩa mũrũũthi.
waluthapha ngezandla zakhe, wahamba eludla. Esefike ebazalini bakhe, wabapha olunye kodwa kabatshelanga ukuthi wayeluthaphe esidunjini sesilwane.
10 Na rĩrĩ, ithe agĩikũrũka akoone mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio. Nake Samusoni akĩrugithia iruga kũu, o ta ũrĩa warĩ mũtugo wa ahikania.
Uyise wahamba ukuyabona owesifazane lowo. USamsoni wenza idili khona, njengokwakungumkhuba wezinsizwa ezithathayo.
11 Na rĩrĩa andũ maamuonire, makĩmũhe aanake mĩrongo ĩtatũ maikare nake.
Ekufikeni kwakhe waphiwa abakhaphi abangamatshumi amathathu.
12 Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rekei ndĩmũgwatie ndaĩ, muona mwamĩtaũra mĩthenya-inĩ ĩno mũgwanja ya iruga-rĩ, nĩngamũhe nguo cia gatani mĩrongo ĩtatũ na nguo cia kũgarũrĩra mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
USamsoni wasesithi kubo, “Lalelani ngilitshele ilibho. Lingangitshela ukuthi litshoni phakathi kwensuku eziyisikhombisa zedili, ngizalinika izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.
13 Mwaremwo nĩ kũmĩtaũra-rĩ, no nginya mũũhe nguo cia gatani mĩrongo ĩtatũ, na nguo cia kũgarũrĩra mĩrongo ĩtatũ.” Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta gĩtũgwatie ndaĩ ĩyo yaku, tũmĩigue.”
Nxa lingehluleka ukungitshela ukuthi litshoni, kumele linginike izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.” Bona bathi, “Sitshele ilibho lakho. Litsho silizwe.”
14 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kuuma nyamũ ndĩani, gũkiuma kĩndũ kĩngĩrĩĩo; kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ ĩrĩ hinya, gũkiuma kĩndũ kĩrĩ mũrĩo.” Na handũ ha mĩthenya ĩtatũ, matiahotete kũmĩtaũra.
Waphendula wathi, “Kokudlayo, kwaphuma okudliwayo; kokulamandla kwaphuma okumnandi.” Behluleka ukuyitsho impendulo okwensuku ezintathu.
15 Naguo mũthenya wa ĩna wakinya, makĩĩra mũtumia wa Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Heenereria mũthuuriguo nĩguo atũtaũrĩre ndaĩ ĩyo, kana tũgũcine wee na nyũmba ya thoguo nginya mũkue. Anga mũtwĩtĩte gũkũ nĩguo mũtũtunye indo ciitũ?”
Ngosuku lwesine bathi kumkaSamsoni, “Ncenga umkakho asichazele ilibho, hlezi sikutshise wena labendlu yakwenu life. Kanti usinxusele ukuzasiphanga lapha na?”
16 Nake mũtumia wa Samusoni akĩĩgũithia harĩ we, akĩrĩraga akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũthũire! Wee ndũnyendete o na atĩa. Ũgwatĩtie andũ aitũ ndaĩ, na nĩũregete kũndaũrĩra ndaĩ ĩyo.” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na baba na maitũ ndimataũrĩire, wee-rĩ, ngũgĩgũtaũrĩra nĩkĩ?”
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 Akĩrĩra mĩthenya ĩyo yothe mũgwanja ya iruga rĩu, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja Samusoni akĩmumbũrĩra, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aikarire akĩmũringagĩrĩria. Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩcooka agĩtaarĩria andũ ao ndaĩ ĩyo.
Owesifazane lowo wakhala zonke lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa zedili. Ngakho ngosuku lwesikhombisa wamtshela, ngoba wayelokhu emphikelela. Laye-ke walichaza ilibho ebantwini bakibo.
18 Riũa rĩtanathũa mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja, andũ a itũũra rĩu makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩrĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩrĩ hinya gũkĩra mũrũũthi?” Nake Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Korwo mũtinarĩma na moori yakwa-rĩ, mũtingĩahota gũtaũra ndaĩ yakwa.”
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 Nake Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩa Samusoni na hinya mũno. Nake agĩikũrũka nginya Ashikeloni, akĩũraga andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ akuo, akĩmatunya indo ciao, na akĩheana nguo ciao kũrĩ arĩa maataũrĩte ndaĩ ĩyo. Na akĩambata agĩthiĩ gwa ithe mũciĩ arakarĩte mũno.
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 Nake mũtumia ũcio wa Samusoni akĩheanwo kũrĩ mũratawe ũrĩa wamũrũgamĩrĩire ũhiki-inĩ wake.
UmkaSamsoni wasesendiselwa komunye wabakhaphi bakhe owayekhona edilini.
