Mahukunta 15
1 Daga baya, a lokacin girbin alkama, Samson ya ɗauki ɗan akuya ya tafi yă ziyarci matarsa. Sai ya ce, “Zan in shiga ɗakin matata.” Amma mahaifinta ya hana shi shiga.
Some time later when the wheat was being harvested, Samson went to pay his wife a visit, taking with him a young goat as a present. “I want to go to my wife in her bedroom,” he said when he arrived, but her father would not let him go in.
2 Ya ce wa, “Na tabbata ba ka sonta sam-sam, don haka na ba da ita ga abokinka. Ba ƙanuwarta ta fi kyau ba? Ka ɗauke ta a maimako.”
“I thought you must totally hate her, so I gave her to your best man,” he told Samson. “But her younger sister is even more attractive—why don't you marry her instead?”
3 Samson kuwa ya ce musu, “A wannan lokaci ina da iko in rama a kan Filistiyawa; tabbatacce zan ji musu.”
“This time I can't be blamed for the trouble I'm going to cause the Philistines,” Samson declared.
4 Saboda haka ya tafi ya kama yanyawa ɗari uku ya ɗaura wutsiyoyinsu wutsiya da wutsiya. Sa’an nan ya daure acibalbal a tsakanin ko waɗanne wutsiya biyu,
He went and caught three hundred foxes and tied their tails together, two by two.
5 sai ya sa wa acibalbal wuta, ya saki yanyawan suka shiga gonakin Filistiyawa. Suka ƙone dammunan hatsi da hatsin da yake tsaye, tare da gonakin inabi da na zaitun.
He attached a torch to each of the tied tails and set them on fire. Then he let them loose in the grain fields of the Philistines, setting fire to all the grain, harvested and unharvested, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Filistiyawa suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Wane ne ya yi wannan abu?” Sai aka ce musu, “Ai, Samson ne surukin mutumin Timna, domin an ba wa abokinsa matarsa.” Saboda haka Filistiyawa suka haura suka je suka ƙone ta da mahaifinta ƙurmus da wuta.
“Who did this?” the Philistines asked. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the man from Timnah,” they were told. “That man gave Samson's wife to Samson's best man.” So the Philistines went and burned her and her father to death.
7 Samson ya ce musu, “Tun da kun aikata wannan, ba zan bari ba har sai na ɗau fansa a kanku.”
Samson told them, “If this is the way you're going to act, then I won't stop until I take my revenge on you!”
8 Ya kuwa fāɗa musu ya kuma karkashe su da yawa. Sa’an nan ya gangara ya zauna a kogo a dutsen Etam.
He attacked them violently, killing them, and then left to go and live in a cave at the rock of Etam.
9 Filistiyawa suka haura suka yi sansani a Yahuda, suka bazu kusa da Lehi.
So the Philistine army came and camped in Judah, drawn up for battle near Lehi.
10 Mutanen Yahuda suka ce, “Me ya sa kuka zo mana da yaƙi?” Sai suka ce, “Mun zo ne mu kama Samson, a matsayin fursunan yaƙi, mu yi masa kamar yadda ya yi mana.”
The people of Judah asked, “Why have you invaded us?” “We've come to capture Samson, to do to him what he's done to us!” they replied.
11 Sa’an nan mutane dubu uku daga Yahuda suka gangara wajen Samson a kogo a dutsen Etam. Suka ce masa, “Ba ka san cewa Filistiyawa ne suke mulkinmu ba? Me ke nan ka yi mana?” Ya ce musu, “Na ɗan yi musu abin da suka yi mini ne.”
Three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam and asked Samson, “Don't you understand that the Philistines rule over us? What do you think you're doing to us?” “I only did what they did to me,” he replied.
12 Suka ce masa, “To, mun zo ne mu daure ka mu kai wa Filistiyawa.” Samson ya ce, “Ku rantse mini ba za ku kashe ni da kanku ba.”
“Well, we've come to take you prisoner and hand you over to the Philistines,” they told him. “Just swear to me that you're not going to kill me yourselves,” Samson answered.
13 Suka ce, “Mun yarda, za mu dai daure ka mu ba da kai gare su. Ba za mu kashe ka ba.” Saboda haka suka daure shi da sababbin igiyoyi biyu, suka saukar da shi daga dutsen.
“No, we won't,” they assured him. “We'll only tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines. We certainly aren't going to kill you!” They tied him using two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
14 Yayinda ya zo gab da Lehi, sai Filistiyawa suka sheƙo a guje da ihu suka nufo shi. Ruhun Ubangiji kuwa ya sauko da iko a kansa. Igiyoyin da suke daure a hannuwansa kuwa suka zama kamar abin da wuta ta babbaka, suka tsintsinke suka zuba daga hannuwansa.
When Samson got close to Lehi, the Philistines ran towards him, shouting at him. But the Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and the ropes tying his arms together became as weak as burnt flax, and his hands broke free.
15 Da ya samo muƙamuƙin jaki, ya ɗauka, sai ya karkashe mutane dubu ɗaya.
He grabbed the fresh jawbone of a donkey, using it to kill a thousand Philistines.
16 Sa’an nan Samson ya ce, “Da muƙamuƙin jaki na mai da su jakuna. Da muƙamuƙin jaki na kashe mutum dubu.”
Then Samson declared, “With a donkey's jawbone I have piled the dead into heaps. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men.”
17 Da ya gama magana, sai ya jefar da muƙamuƙin; aka ba wa wannan wuri suna Ramat Lehi.
After Samson had finished his speech, he threw away the jawbone, and he named the place Hill of the Jawbone.
18 Saboda ƙishirwa ta kama shi ƙwarai, sai ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Ka ba bawanka wannan babbar nasara. To, sai in mutu da ƙishirwa, har in shiga a hannun marasa kaciyan nan su kashe ni?”
He was now extremely thirsty, and he Samson called out to the Lord, saying, “You have achieved this amazing victory through your servant, but now do I have to die of thirst and be captured by the heathen?”
19 Sa’an nan Allah ya buɗe wani rami a Lehi, ruwa kuwa ya fito daga ciki. Da Samson ya sha, sai ƙarfinsa ya dawo, ya kuma wartsake. Aka sa wa wannan maɓulɓula suna En Hakkore, yana nan a Lehi har wa yau.
So God split open a rock seam in Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank and his strength returned—he felt much better. That's why he named it the Spring of the Caller, and it's still there in Lehi to this very day.
20 Samson kuwa ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara ashirin a zamanin Filistiyawa.
Samson led Israel as judge for twenty years during the time of the Philistines.
