< Mahukunta 14 >
1 Samson ya gangara zuwa Timna a can ya ga wata daga cikin’yan mata Filistiyawa.
And 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.”
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said: 'I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore get her for me to 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 unto him: 'Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?' And Samson said unto his father: 'Get her for me; for she pleaseth 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 knew not that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule 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 went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and, behold, a young lion roared against 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.
And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as one would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Sa’an nan ya gangara ya yi magana da yarinyar, yana kuwa sonsa.
And 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,
And after a while he returned to take her, and he turned aside 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.
And he scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went, and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.
10 To, mahaifinsa ya gangara don yă ga yarinyar. Samson kuwa ya shirya wata liyafa a can, yadda yake bisa ga al’adar angwaye.
And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 Sa’ad da ya bayyana, sai aka haɗa shi abokai talatin.
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that 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.
And Samson said unto them: 'Let me now put forth a riddle unto you; if ye can declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
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 ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment.' And they said unto him: 'Put forth thy 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.
And he said unto them: Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And 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?”
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife: 'Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire; have ye called us hither to impoverish us?'
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?”
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said: 'Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and wilt thou not tell it me?' And he said unto her: 'Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?'
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.
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; 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.”
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them: If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not 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.
And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, 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, whom he had had for his friend.
