< Atiirĩrĩri 15 >

1 Thuutha ũcio, ihinda-inĩ rĩa magetha ma ngano-rĩ, Samusoni akĩoya koori na agĩthiĩ gũceerera mũtumia wake. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngũthiĩ ndoonye kanyũmba-inĩ ka mũtumia wakwa.” No ithe wa mũtumia ũcio akĩmũgiria atoonye kuo.
But within a while after, in the time of wheate haruest, Samson visited his wife with a kid, saying, I wil go in to my wife into the chamber: but her father would not suffer him to goe in.
2 Ithe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndaarĩ na ma atĩ nĩwamũthũũrire biũ, ngĩkĩmũheana kũrĩ mũrataguo. Githĩ mwarĩ wa nyina ũrĩa mũnini ndakĩrĩ mũthaka kũrĩ we? Kĩmuoe ithenya rĩake.”
And her father sayde, I thought that thou hadst hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy companion. Is not her yonger sister fayrer then shee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of the other.
3 Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ Afilisti; ti-itherũ nĩngũmeka ũũru biũ.”
Then Samson saide vnto them, Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistims: therefore will I doe them displeasure.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara, akĩnyiita mbwe magana matatũ, agĩciohithania mĩtingʼoe igĩrĩ igĩrĩ. Agĩcooka akĩoherera gĩcinga harĩ o mĩtingʼoe ĩyo ĩĩrĩ ĩĩrĩ,
And Samson went out, and tooke three hundreth foxes, and tooke firebrands, and turned them taile to taile, and put a firebrand in ye middes betweene two tailes.
5 akĩgwatia icinga icio mwaki na akĩrekereria mbwe icio ngano-inĩ ya Afilisti ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩgũnda. Agĩcina itĩĩa cia ngano ĩrĩa yarũgamĩtio mũgũnda na ngano ĩrĩa ĩtaarĩ ngethe, na agĩcina mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na ya mĩtamaiyũ.
And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standing corne of the Philistims, and burnt vp both the rickes and the standing corne with the vineyardes and oliues.
6 Rĩrĩa Afilisti mooririe atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wĩkĩte ũũ?” Makĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Samusoni, mũthoni-we wa mũndũ ũrĩa Mũtimina, tondũ mũtumia wake nĩaheirwo mũratawe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afilisti makĩambata na magĩcina mũtumia ũcio o na ithe nginya magĩkua.
Then the Philistims sayde, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the sonne in law of the Timnite, because hee had taken his wife, and giuen her to his companion. Then the Philistims came vp and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 Nake Samusoni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩ ũguo mweka, ndikũmũtigithĩria nginya ndĩĩrĩhĩrie kũrĩ inyuĩ.”
And Samson saide vnto them, Though yee haue done this, yet wil I be auenged of you, and then I wil cease.
8 Agĩkĩmatharĩkĩra na ũũru mũnene na akĩũraga aingĩ ao. Agĩcooka agĩikũrũka na agĩikara ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu.
So hee smote them hippe and thigh with a mightie plague: then hee went and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam.
9 Nao Afilisti makĩambata na makĩamba hema kũu Juda, makĩaragana gũkuhĩ na Lehi.
Then the Philistims came vp, and pitched in Iudah, and were spred abroad in Lehi.
10 Nao andũ a Juda makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mũũkĩte kũhũũrana na ithuĩ nĩkĩ?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte kũnyiita Samusoni, tũmwĩke o ta ũrĩa aatwĩkire.”
And the men of Iudah sayde, Why are yee come vp vnto vs? And they answered, To binde Samson are we come vp, and to do to him as hee hath done to vs.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ ngiri ithatũ kuuma Juda magĩikũrũka nginya ngurunga-inĩ ya ihiga rĩa Etamu na makĩĩra Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ wee ũtakũũranĩte atĩ Afilisti nĩo matwathaga? Nĩ atĩa ũtwĩkĩte?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmekĩte o ta ũrĩa maanjĩkire.”
Then three thousande men of Iudah went to the top of the rocke Etam, and sayde to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistims are rulers ouer vs? Wherefore then hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he answered them, As they did vnto me, so haue I done vnto them.
12 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte gũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ Afilisti.” Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhĩtei atĩ ti inyuĩ mũkũnjũraga.”
Againe they sayd vnto him, Wee are come to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the hande of the Philistims. And Samson sayde vnto them, Sweare vnto me, that yee will not fall vpon me your selues.
13 Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwetĩkĩra, ithuĩ no gũkuoha tũgũkuoha tũkũneane kũrĩ o. Ithuĩ tũtigũkũũraga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuoha na mĩkanda ĩĩrĩ mĩerũ na makĩmwambatia kuuma rwaro-inĩ rũu rwa ihiga.
And they answered him, saying, No, but we will bynde thee and deliuer thee vnto their hande, but we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two newe cordes, and brought him from the rocke.
14 Rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie Lehi-rĩ, Afilisti acio magĩũka na kũrĩ we makĩanagĩrĩra. Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake na hinya mũno. Mĩkanda ĩrĩa oohetwo moko nayo ĩgĩtuĩkanga o ta ũguta mũhiũ, nayo mĩhĩndo ĩyo ĩkĩgũa kuuma moko-inĩ make.
When hee came to Lehi, the Philistims shouted against him, and the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and the cordes that were vpon his armes, became as flaxe that was burnt with fire: for the bandes loosed from his handes.
15 Akĩona rũkambucu rwa ndigiri rũtaarĩ rũkũrũ, akĩrũhuria na akĩũraga andũ ngiri ĩmwe.
And he found a new iawebone of an asse, and put forth his hand, and caught it, and slewe a thousand men therewith.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Njũragĩte andũ na rũkambucu rwa ndigiri hĩba na hĩba. Njũragĩte andũ ngiri ĩmwe na rũkambucu rwa ndigiri.”
Then Samson sayd, With the iaw of an asse are heapes vpon heapes: with the iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men.
17 Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kwaria-rĩ, agĩte rũkambucu rũu; naho handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Ramathu-Lehi.
And when he had left speaking, hee cast away the iawebone out of his hande, and called that place, Ramath-Lehi.
18 Na tondũ aarĩ mũnyootu mũno, agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩũheete ndungata yaku ũhootani mũnene ũũ. No nginya rĩu ngue nĩ nyoota ngwe moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa mataruaga?”
And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and sayde, Thou hast giuen this great deliuerance into the hand of thy seruaunt: and nowe shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised?
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai agĩthikũria irima kũu Lehi, rĩkiuma maaĩ. Rĩrĩa Samusoni aanyuire, agĩcookererwo nĩ hinya na akĩarahũka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩthima kĩu gĩgĩtwo Eni-Hakore. Na kĩrĩ o ho kũu Lehi.
Then God brake the cheeke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout: and when he had drunke, his Spirit came againe, and he was reuiued: wherefore the name therof is called, Enhakkore, which is in Lehi vnto this day.
20 Samusoni aatiirĩrĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ matukũ-inĩ ma Afilisti.
And hee iudged Israel in the dayes of the Philistims twentie yeeres.
