< 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.
But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said: 'I will go in to my wife into the chamber.' But her father would not suffer him to 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.”
And her father said: 'I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion; is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.'
3 Samson kuwa ya ce musu, “A wannan lokaci ina da iko in rama a kan Filistiyawa; tabbatacce zan ji musu.”
And Samson said unto them: 'This time shall I be quits with the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.'
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,
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
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.
And when he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing corn, and also the oliveyards.
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.
Then the Philistines said: 'Who hath done this?' And they said: 'Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion.' And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 Samson ya ce musu, “Tun da kun aikata wannan, ba zan bari ba har sai na ɗau fansa a kanku.”
And Samson said unto them: 'If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.'
8 Ya kuwa fāɗa musu ya kuma karkashe su da yawa. Sa’an nan ya gangara ya zauna a kogo a dutsen Etam.
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Filistiyawa suka haura suka yi sansani a Yahuda, suka bazu kusa da Lehi.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves against 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.”
And the men of Judah said: 'Why are ye come up against us?' And they said: 'To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.'
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.”
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson: 'Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that thou hast done unto us?' And he said unto them: 'As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.'
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.”
And they said unto him: 'We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines.' And Samson said unto them: 'Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.'
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.
And they spoke unto him, saying: 'No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but surely we will not kill thee.' And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought 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 he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him; and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 Da ya samo muƙamuƙin jaki, ya ɗauka, sai ya karkashe mutane dubu ɗaya.
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith.
16 Sa’an nan Samson ya ce, “Da muƙamuƙin jaki na mai da su jakuna. Da muƙamuƙin jaki na kashe mutum dubu.”
And Samson said: With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I smitten a thousand men.
17 Da ya gama magana, sai ya jefar da muƙamuƙin; aka ba wa wannan wuri suna Ramat Lehi.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
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?”
And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said: 'Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of Thy servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?'
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.
But God cleaved the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came back, and he revived; wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
20 Samson kuwa ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara ashirin a zamanin Filistiyawa.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
