Atiirĩrĩri 16
1 Mũthenya ũmwe Samusoni nĩathiire Gaza, akĩona mũmaraya kuo. Agĩtoonya gwake nĩguo akome nake.
Then went Samson to Azzah, and sawe there an harlot, and went in vnto her.
2 Andũ a Gaza makĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Samusoni arĩ gũkũ!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiũrũrũkĩria handũ hau, makĩraara mamuohetie ũtukũ wothe kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene. Nao matiigana kwehera ho ũtukũ ũcio, nĩ ũndũ moigĩte atĩrĩ, “Rũciinĩ gwakĩa, nĩtũkaamũũraga.”
And it was tolde to the Azzahites, Samson is come hither. And they went about, and laied wayte for him all night in the gate of the citie, and were quiet all the nyght, saying, Abide till the morning earely, and we shall kill him.
3 Nowe Samusoni aakomire kuo nginya ũtukũ gatagatĩ. Agĩcooka agĩũkĩra akĩnyiita mĩrango ya kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩu inene, hamwe na itugĩ ciayo cierĩ, agĩcimunyanĩria na igera ciothe. Agĩciigĩrĩra ciande, agĩcitwara kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩrĩa kĩngʼetheire Hebironi.
And Samson slept till midnight, and arose at midnight, and tooke the doores of the gates of the citie, and the two postes and lift them away with the barres, and put them vpon his shoulders, and caried them vp to the top of the mountaine that is before Hebron.
4 Thuutha ũcio, nĩagĩire ũrata na mũndũ-wa-nja kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Soreki na rĩĩtwa rĩake eetagwo Delila.
And after this hee loued a woman by the riuer of Sorek, whose name was Delilah:
5 Nao aathani a Afilisti magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rora kana wahota kũmũheenereria, akwĩre hitho ya hinya ũcio wake mũnene, na ũrĩa tũngĩmũkĩria hinya nĩguo tũmuohe, tũmũtoorie. O ũmwe witũ nĩagakũhe cekeri ngiri ĩmwe na igana rĩmwe cia betha.”
Vnto whome came the princes of the Philistims, and said vnto her, Entise him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what meane we may ouercome him, that we may binde him, and punish him, and euery one of vs shall giue thee eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Delila akĩĩra Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra hitho ya hinya waku mũnene, na ũrĩa ũngĩohwo na ũtoorio.”
And Delilah saide to Samson, Tell mee, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest bee bound, to doe thee hurt.
7 Nake Samusoni akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩĩnjoha na nga mũgwanja cia mwogothano itarĩ nyũmithie-rĩ, niĩ ngwaga hinya nduĩke o ta mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe.”
Samson then answered vnto her, If they binde mee with seuen greene cordes, that were neuer dryed, then shall I bee weake, and be as an other man.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo aathani a Afilisti makĩmũrehere nga mũgwanja iria itaarĩ nyũmithie, nake akĩmuoha nacio.
And the princes of the Philistims brought her seuen greene cordes that were not dry, and she bound him therewith.
9 Nao andũ mehithĩte thĩinĩ wa nyũmba-rĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Samusoni, ũrĩ mũkore nĩ Afilisti!” Nowe agĩtuanga nga icio na ũhũthũ o ta ũrĩa rũrigi rũtuĩkaga rwahutia rũrĩrĩmbĩ rwa mwaki. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio hitho ya hinya wake ndĩamenyekire.
(And she had men lying in wayte with her in the chamber) Then she said vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee brake the cordes, as a threede of towe is broken, when it feeleth fire: so his strength was not knowen.
10 Nake Delila akĩĩra Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Nĩũnduĩte mũndũ mũkĩĩgu; ũkaheenia. Ndagũthaitha njĩĩra kĩrĩa ũngĩohwo nakĩo.”
After Delilah saide vnto Samson, See, thou hast mocked mee and tolde mee lies. I pray thee nowe, tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩnjoha wega na mĩhĩndo mĩerũ ĩtarĩ yahũthĩrwo, nĩngwaga hinya nduĩke o ta mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe.”
Then he answered her, If they binde mee with newe ropes that neuer were occupied, then shall I be weake, and be as an other man.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Delila akĩoya mĩhĩndo mĩerũ na akĩmuoha nayo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, andũ mehithĩte nyũmba thĩinĩ-rĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Samusoni, ũrĩ mũkore nĩ Afilisti!” Nowe agĩtuanga mĩhĩndo ĩyo kuuma moko-inĩ make o ta ũrĩa angĩtuanga uthi.
Delilah therefore tooke newe ropes, and bounde him therewith, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson: (and men lay in wayte in the chamber) and hee brake them from his armes, as a threede.
13 Delila agĩcooka akĩĩra Samusoni atĩrĩ, “Nginya rĩu ũkoretwo ũkĩndua mũndũ mũkĩĩgu, ũkaaheenia. Njĩĩra kĩrĩa ũngĩohwo nakĩo.” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩogotha makundo maya mũgwanja ma njuĩrĩ ya mũtwe wakwa ndigi-inĩ, ũciigĩrĩre mũtambo-inĩ wa gũtuma taama na ũcirũmie na higĩ, niĩ nĩngwaga hinya nduĩke o ta mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa aakomete-rĩ, Delila akĩoya makundo mũgwanja ma njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wake, agĩciogothania na ndigi,
Afterward Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast beguiled mee, and tolde me lies: tell me how thou mightest be bounde. And he sayde vnto her, If thou plattedst seuen lockes of mine head with the threedes of the woufe.
14 na agĩcirũmia na higĩ. Agĩcooka akĩmwĩta o rĩngĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Samusoni, ũrĩ mũkore nĩ Afilisti!” Nake Samusoni akĩarahũka toro, na akĩguucia higĩ ĩyo, o na mũtambo ũrĩa warĩ na ndigi.
And she fastened it with a pinne, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe, and went away with the pinne of the webbe and the woufe.
15 Agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wahota atĩa kuuga atĩ nĩũnyendete, rĩrĩa ũtangĩĩhoka? Rĩrĩ nĩ riita rĩa gatatũ ũnduĩte mũndũ mũkĩĩgu, na ndũrĩ wanjĩĩra hitho ya hinya ũcio waku mũnene.”
Againe shee sayde vnto him, Howe canst thou say, I loue thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked mee these three times, and hast not tolde me wherein thy great strength lieth.
16 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aamũgiaga na akamũtindĩrĩra mũthenya o mũthenya, akĩmũnogia o nginya hakuhĩ gũkua.
And because shee was importunate vpon him with her wordes continually, and vexed him, his soule was pained vnto the death.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Samusoni akĩmwĩra maũndũ mothe. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtwe ũyũ wakwa ndũrĩ wenjwo nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, niĩ ndũire ndĩ Mũnaziri wamũrĩirwo Ngai kuuma rĩrĩa ndaciarirwo. Ingĩenjwo-rĩ, hinya wakwa no ũnjeherere, na njage hinya nduĩke o ta mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe.”
Therefore he tolde her all his heart, and said vnto her, There neuer came rasor vpon mine head: for I am a Nazarite vnto God from my mothers wombe: therefore if I bee shauen, my strength will goe from me, and I shalbe weake, and be like all other men.
18 Na rĩrĩa Delila aamenyire atĩ nĩamwĩra maũndũ make mothe, agĩtũmanĩra aathani a Afilisti akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Cookai riita rĩngĩ rĩmwe, nĩ ũndũ nĩanjĩĩrĩte maũndũ mothe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio aathani acio a Afilisti magĩcooka makuuĩte betha na moko.
And when Delilah sawe that he had tolde her all his heart, she sent, and called for the Princes of ye Philistims, saying, Come vp once againe: for he hath shewed mee all his heart. Then the Princes of the Philistims came vp vnto her, and brought the money in their handes.
19 Nake Delila agĩtũma Samusoni akome ciero-inĩ ciake, agĩĩta mũndũ ũmwe amwenje makundo mothe mũgwanja ma njuĩrĩ yake, nao makĩambĩrĩria kũmũtooria. Naguo hinya wake ũkĩmuuma.
And she made him sleepe vpon her knees, and she called a man, and made him to shaue off the seuen lockes of his head, and shee began to vexe him, and his strength was gone from him.
20 Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Samusoni, ũrĩ mũkore nĩ Afilisti!” Nake agĩũkĩra kuuma toro, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnguuma nja o ta tene na ndĩĩribaribe, ndĩĩohore.” No rĩrĩ, ndaamenyete atĩ Jehova nĩamwehereire.
Then she said, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee awoke out of his sleepe, and thought, I will go out now as at other times, and shake my selfe, but he knewe not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Afilisti makĩmũnyiita na hinya, makĩmũkũũra maitho na makĩmũikũrũkia Gaza. Makĩmuoha na mĩnyororo ya gĩcango, na makĩmũiga athĩage ngano arĩ kũu njeera.
Therefore the Philistims tooke him, and put out his eyes, and brought him downe to Azzah, and bounde him with fetters: and hee did grinde in the prison house.
22 No rĩrĩ, njuĩrĩ ya mũtwe wake ĩkĩambĩrĩria gũkũra rĩngĩ, thuutha wa kwenjwo.
And the heare of his head began to growe againe after that it was shauen.
23 Na rĩrĩ, aathani a Afilisti makĩũngana nĩguo marutĩre Dagoni ngai yao igongona inene na makũngũĩre, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai iitũ nĩĩneanĩte Samusoni thũ iitũ, moko-inĩ maitũ.”
Then the Princes of the Philistims gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice vnto Dagon their god, and to reioyce: for they said, Our god hath deliuered Samson our enemie into our handes.
24 Rĩrĩa andũ maamuonire, makĩgooca ngai ĩyo yao makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai iitũ nĩĩneanĩte thũ iitũ moko-inĩ maitũ, thũ ĩrĩa yathũkangirie bũrũri witũ na ĩkĩũraga andũ aitũ aingĩ.”
Also when the people saw him, they praysed their god: for they sayde, Our god hath deliuered into our hands our enemie and destroyer of our countrey, which hath slayne many of vs.
25 Na rĩrĩa ngoro ciao ciacanjamũkĩte, makĩanĩrĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Rehei Samusoni nĩguo oke atũkenie.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩruta Samusoni njeera, nake agĩĩka maũndũ ma mathekania. Rĩrĩa maamũrũgamirie gatagatĩ-inĩ ga itugĩ-rĩ,
And when their heartes were merie, they said, Call Samson, that he may make vs pastime. So they called Samson out of the prison house, and he was a laughing stocke vnto them, and they set him betweene the pillars.
26 Samusoni akĩĩra ndungata ĩrĩa yamũnyiitĩte guoko atĩrĩ, “Njiga harĩa ingĩhota kũhutia itugĩ iria inyiitĩrĩire hekarũ, nĩgeetha ndĩtiiranie nacio.”
Then Samson saide vnto the seruant that led him by the hande, Lead me, that I may touch the pillars that the house standeth vpon, and that I may leane to them.
27 Na rĩrĩ, hekarũ ĩyo yaiyũrĩte arũme na andũ-a-nja; na aathani othe a Afilisti maarĩ kuo, na nyũmba igũrũ kwarĩ na arũme na andũ-a-nja ta ngiri ithatũ meroreire Samusoni agĩĩka maũndũ ma kũmakenia.
(Nowe the house was full of men and women, and there were all the princes of the Philistims: also vpon the roofe were about three thousande men and women that behelde while Samson played)
28 Samusoni akĩhooya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani Jehova, ndirikana. Wee Ngai, ndagũthaitha ũnjĩkĩre hinya o ihinda rĩngĩ rĩmwe, na ũreke ndĩĩrĩhĩrie kũrĩ Afilisti na igũtha rĩmwe nĩ ũndũ wa maitho makwa meerĩ.”
Then Samson called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord God, I pray thee, thinke vpon me: O God, I beseech thee, strengthen me at this time onely, that I may be at once auenged of the Philistims for my two eyes.
29 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Samusoni akĩnyiita itugĩ icio cierĩ cia gatagatĩ iria ciarũgamĩtie hekarũ ĩyo. Agĩĩtiirania nacio, kĩmwe agĩkĩnyiita na guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ na guoko gwake kwa ũmotho,
And Samson layd hold on the two middle pillars whereupon the house stood, and on which it was borne vp: on the one with his right hand, and on the other with his left.
30 Samusoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke ngue hamwe na Afilisti!” Agĩcooka agĩcitindĩka na hinya wake wothe, nayo hekarũ ĩkĩgwĩra aathani acio hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ wayo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũraga andũ aingĩ agĩkua gũkĩra arĩa ooragire arĩ muoyo.
Then Samson saide, Let me lose my life with the Philistims: and he bowed him with all his might, and the house fell vpon the princes, and vpon all the people that were therein. so the dead which he slewe at his death were more then they which he had slaine in his life.
31 Nao ariũ a ithe na nyũmba yothe ya ithe magĩikũrũka makamũgĩĩre. Makĩmũkuua makĩmũinũkia na makĩmũthika gatagatĩ ga Zora na Eshitaoli mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya ithe Manoa. Nake aatirĩrĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
Then his brethren, and all the house of his father came downe and tooke him, and brought him vp and buryed him betweene Zorah and Eshtaol, in the sepulchre of Manoah his father: nowe he had iudged Israel twenty yeeres.
