Mahukunta 14
1 Samson ya gangara zuwa Timna a can ya ga wata daga cikin’yan mata Filistiyawa.
Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Da ya komo, sai ya gaya wa mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa ya ce, “Na ga wata mace a Timna; ku auro mini ita ta zama matata.”
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as my wife.”
3 Mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa suka ce, “Babu wata karɓaɓɓiyar yarinya a cikin zuriyarku ko cikin dukan mutanenmu ne? Dole ne ka tafi wajen Filistiyawa marasa kaciya ka nemi aure?” Amma Samson ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “A auro mini ita dai. Ita ta dace da ni.”
Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is not there a woman among your brothers’ daughters, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
4 (Iyayensa ba su san cewa wannan daga wurin Ubangiji ne ba, wanda yake neman hanyar da za a kai wa Filistiyawa hari; gama a lokacin suna mulkin Isra’ila.)
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.
5 Sai Samson ya gangara zuwa Timna tare da mahaifinsa da kuma mahaifiyarsa. Da suka yi kusa da gonar inabin Timna, nan da nan sai ga ɗan zaki ya taso ya nufe shi yana ruri.
Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.
6 Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya sauko masa da ƙarfi, ya sa ya yaga zakin kashi biyu da hannu kamar yadda akan yayyage ɗan akuya. Sai dai bai gaya wa iyayensa abin da ya yi ba.
The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Sa’an nan ya gangara ya yi magana da yarinyar, yana kuwa sonsa.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
8 Daga baya, da ya koma don yă aure ta, sai ya ratse don yă ga gawar zakin. Sai ga taron ƙudan zuma da zuma a ciki,
After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 wanda ya sa hannu ya ɗebo yana tafiya yana sha. Sa’ad da ya iso wurin iyayensa, ya ba su zuman, su ma suka sha. Sai dai bai gaya musu cewa ya ɗebo zuman daga gawar zaki ba.
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. He came to his father and mother and gave to them, and they ate, but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the lion’s body.
10 To, mahaifinsa ya gangara don yă ga yarinyar. Samson kuwa ya shirya wata liyafa a can, yadda yake bisa ga al’adar angwaye.
His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
11 Sa’ad da ya bayyana, sai aka haɗa shi abokai talatin.
When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Sai Samson ya ce, “Bari in yi muku kacici-kacici, in kun ba ni amsa cikin kwana bakwai na wannan biki, zan ba ku riguna lilin talatin da kuma tufafi talatin.
Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
13 In kuma ba ku iya ba ni amsar ba, dole ku ba ni rigunan lilin talatin da tufafi talatin.” Suka ce, “Ka gaya mana kacici-kacicin.”
but if you cannot tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.”
14 Sai ya ce, “Daga mai ci, abinci ya fito; daga mai ƙarfi, abu mai zaki ya fito.” Har kwana uku ba su iya ba da amsa ba.
He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They could not in three days declare the riddle.
15 A rana ta huɗu suka ce wa matar Samson “Ki rarrashi mijinki yă bayyana mana kacici-kacicin, ko kuwa mu ƙone ki da gidan mahaifinki duka da wuta. Kun kira mu domin ku yi mana fashi ne?”
On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is not that so?”
16 Sa’an nan matar Samson ta kwanta masa a jiki tana kuka tana cewa, “Kai maƙiyina ne, lalle ba ka ƙaunata, ka yi wa mutanena kacici-kacici, amma ba ka gaya mini amsar ba.” Ya amsa ya ce, “Ban ma bayyana wa mahaifina ko mahaifiyata ba, to, don me zan bayyana miki?”
Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and do not love me. You have told a riddle to the children of my people, and have not told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I have not told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”
17 Ta yi ta kuka har kwana bakwai na bikin. Saboda haka a rana ta bakwai sai ya gaya mata, don ta dame shi. Ita kuwa ta bayyana kacici-kacicin wa mutanenta.
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 Kafin rana ta fāɗi a rana ta bakwai mutane garin suka ce masa, “Me ya fi zuma zaki? Me ya fi zaki ƙarfi?” Samson ya ce musu, “Da ba don kun haɗa baki da matata ba, da ba za ku san amsar kacici-kacici ba.”
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle.”
19 Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko masa da iko. Sai ya fita ya gangara zuwa Ashkelon, ya kashe mutanensu talatin, ya kwashe kayansu ya kuma ba da rigunarsu ga waɗanda suka bayyana kacici-kacicin. Cike da fushi, ya haura zuwa gidan mahaifinsa.
The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 Aka kuma ɗauki matar Samson aka ba wa ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suka yi masa hidima a bikin.
But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
