< Mahukunta 16 >
1 Wata rana Samson ya tafi Gaza, inda ya ga wata karuwa. Ya shiga wurinta ya kwana.
And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
2 Aka gaya wa mutanen Gaza, “Ai, Samson yana a nan!” Saboda haka suka zo suka kewaye wurin suka yi kwanto dukan dare a bakin ƙofar birni. A daren nan ba su motsa nan da can ba, suna cewa, “Gari yana wayewa za mu kashe shi.”
[And it was told] the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they surrounded [him], and laid wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning light we will kill him.
3 Amma Samson ya yi kwanciyarsa har tsakiyar dare. Sa’an nan ya tashi ya kama ƙofofin birnin, tare da madogarai biyunsu, ya tumɓuke, ya aza su a kafaɗarsa, ya kai su kan dutsen da yake a fuskantar Hebron.
And Samson lay till midnight; and he arose at midnight, and seized the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and tore them up with the bar, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
4 Bayan ɗan lokaci, sai ya shiga ƙaunar wata mace, mai suna Delila a Kwarin Sorek.
And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Sai shugabannin Filistiyawa suka tafi wurinta suka ce, “Ki yi ƙoƙari ki ga ko za ki rarrashe shi yă nuna miki asirin ƙarfinsa da yadda za mu iya shan ƙarfinsa don mu ɗaura shi mu yi nasara a kansa. Kowannenmu zai ba ki shekel dubu ɗari ɗaya na azurfa.”
And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces.
6 Saboda haka Delila ta ce wa Samson, “Ka faɗa miki asirin ƙarfinka da yadda za a ɗaura ka a yi nasara a kanka.”
Then Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what is thy great strength, and with what thou mightest be bound to overpower thee.
7 Samson ya ce mata, “In wani ya ɗaura ni da sababbin igiyoyin da ba su bushe ba, zan zama marar ƙarfi kamar kowa.”
And Samson said to her, If they should bind me with seven fresh cords which have not been dried, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Sa’an nan shugabannin Filistiyawa suka kawo mata sababbin igiyoyi guda bakwai da ba su bushe ba, sai ta daure shi da su.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Da mutane a ɓoye a cikin ɗaki tare da ita, sai ta yi ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka!” Da jin haka sai ya tsintsinke igiyoyin kamar zaren da ya yi kusa da harshen wuta. Saboda haka asirin ƙarfinsa bai tonu ba.
Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known.
10 Sa’an nan Delila ta ce wa Samson, “Ka mai da ni wawiya; ka ruɗe ni. Yanzu, ka gaya mini yadda za a daure ka.”
And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mightest be bound.
11 Ya ce, “In wani ya ɗaura ni sosai da sababbin igiyoyin da ba a taɓa amfani da su ba, zan zama marar ƙarfi kamar kowa.”
And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes, with which no work has been done, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Saboda haka Delila ta ɗauki sababbin igiyoyi ta ɗaura shi da su. Sa’an nan, tare da mutane a ɓoye a ɗakin, ta yi ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka!” Amma sai ya tsintsinke su kamar zare.
And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
13 Sa’an nan Delila ta ce, “Har yanzu, ka mai da shashasha, kana mai da ni wawiya kana kuma yin mini ƙarya. Ka gaya mini yadda za a daure ka mana.” Ya ce mata, “In kin yi kitson gashin kaina guda bakwai kika ɗaura su da zare kika buga su da akwasha, zan rasa ƙarfi in zama kamar kowa.” Saboda haka yayinda yake barci, sai Delila ta yi kitson gashin kansa guda bakwai ta ɗinka su da zare,
And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 ta kuma ɗaura su da akwasha. Ta sāke yin ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka.” Ya tashi daga barcinsa ya tumɓuke akwashan tare da zaren da aka ɗaura gashin kansa da su.
And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web.
15 Sa’an nan ta ce masa, “Yaya kake cewa kana sona alhali ba ka yarda da ni ba? Wannan shi ne sau na uku kana mai da ni wawiya kuma ba ka nuna mini asirin ƙarfinka ba.”
Then she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou mocked me, and hast not told me in what is thy great strength.
16 Da irin wannan fitina ta tsokane shi kwana da kwanaki har sai da ya gaji kamar zai mutu.
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 Saboda haka sai ya faɗa mata kome ya ce, “Ba a taɓa sa reza a kaina ba, domin ni Naziri ne keɓaɓɓe ga Allah tun haihuwa. In kuwa an aske kaina, ƙarfina zai rabu da ni, sai in zama kamar kowa.”
and he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I am a Nazarite of God from my mother's womb; if I should be shaven, then my strength would go from me, and I should be weak, and be like all mankind.
18 Da Delila ta gane ya gaya mata kome yanzu, sai ta aika saƙo zuwa ga shugabannin Filistiyawa ta ce, “Ku ƙara zuwa sau ɗayan nan, ai, ya gaya mini kome.” Saboda haka shugabannin Filistiyawa suka dawo tare da azurfa a hannuwansu.
And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
19 Bayan ta sa shi ya yi barci a cinyarta, sai ta kira wani ya zo ya aske kitso guda bakwai nan a kansa, aka fara rinjayensa. Ƙarfinsa kuwa ya rabu da shi.
And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him.
20 Sa’an nan ta yi ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka!” Sai ya farka daga barci yana tsammani cewa, “Zan fita kamar dā in miƙe jikina.” Amma bai san cewa Ubangiji ya rabu da shi ba.
And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him.
21 Sa’an nan Filistiyawa suka fizge shi, suka ƙwaƙule idanunsa suka gangara da shi zuwa Gaza. Da suka daure shi da sarƙoƙin tagulla, sai aka sa shi yana niƙa a kurkuku.
And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house.
22 Amma gashi kansa ya fara tohuwa kuma bayan an aske shi.
But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
23 To, sai Filistiyawa suka taru don su miƙa hadaya ga Dagon allahnsu su kuma yi biki cewa, “Allahnmu ya bashe abokin gābanmu Samson a hannuwanmu.”
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.
24 Sa’ad da mutane suka gan shi, sai suka yabi allahnsu, suna cewa, “Allahnmu ya bashe abokin gābanmu a hannunmu, wanda ya lalace ƙasarmu ya kuma raɓanya kisan mutanenmu.”
And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain.
25 Yayinda suke cikin farin ciki, sai suka yi ihu, suka ce, “Fito mana da Samson yă yi mana wasa.” Saboda haka aka zo da Samson daga kurkuku, shi kuwa ya yi wasa a gabansu. Sa’ad da suka tsai da shi a tsakanin ginshiƙai,
And it came to pass when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they set him between the pillars.
26 sai Samson ya ce wa bawan da ya riƙe hannunsa, “Ka kai ni inda zan taɓa ginshiƙan da suke ɗauke da wannan haikali, don in jingina a kai.”
And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Let loose of me, and suffer me to feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
27 To, haikalin ya cika da mutane maza da mata; dukan shugabannin Filistiyawa kuwa suna a can, a bisan rufin kuwa akwai mutum wajen dubu uku maza da mata suna kallon Samson yana wasa.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.
28 Sa’an nan Samson ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ya Allah ka tuna da ni, ka ƙarfafa ni sau ɗaya nan kaɗai, ka bar ni da bugu ɗaya kawai in ɗauki fansa a kan Filistiyawa domin idanuna.”
And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may take one vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 Sa’an nan Samson ya kai hannuwansa ga ginshiƙan waɗanda haikalin yake a kai, ya jingina jikinsa, hannunsa dama yana a ɗaya, hannun hagu kuma na ɗayan,
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood (and he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and the other with his left.
30 Samson ya ce, “Bari in mutu tare da Filistiyawa!” Sa’an nan da dukan ƙarfinsa ya tura haikali ya fāɗa a kan shugabanni da dukan mutanen da suke ciki. Ta haka ya kashe mutane da yawa fiye da yayinda yake da rai.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself with might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.
31 Sa’an nan’yan’uwansa da dukan dangin mahaifinsa suka gangaro don su ɗauke shi. Suka kawo shi suka binne tsakanin Zora da Eshtawol a kabarin Manowa mahaifinsa. Ya yi mulkin Isra’ila shekara ashirin.
And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
