Mahukunta 16
1 Wata rana Samson ya tafi Gaza, inda ya ga wata karuwa. Ya shiga wurinta ya kwana.
Samson went to Gaza. There he saw a prostitute and he went to have sex with her that night.
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.”
The men of Gaza found out Samson was there, so they gathered to spend the night lying in wait for him at the town gates. They kept quiet all night, whispering to one another, “We'll kill him when it gets light.”
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.
But Samson only stayed until halfway through the night. He grabbed hold of the town gates along with their two posts and ripped them up, along with the lock-bar. Putting them on his shoulders, he carried them to the hill opposite Hebron.
4 Bayan ɗan lokaci, sai ya shiga ƙaunar wata mace, mai suna Delila a Kwarin Sorek.
Later he fell in love with a woman named Delilah living in the Sorek Valley.
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.”
The Philistine leaders approached her, saying, “See if you can seduce him and get him to show you the secret of his incredible strength, and find out how we can overpower him and tie him up so he can't do anything. We'll all give you eleven hundred shekels of silver each.”
6 Saboda haka Delila ta ce wa Samson, “Ka faɗa miki asirin ƙarfinka da yadda za a ɗaura ka a yi nasara a kanka.”
Delilah went and pleaded with Samson, “Please tell me where your incredible strength comes from, and what can be used to tie you up so you can't do anything.”
7 Samson ya ce mata, “In wani ya ɗaura ni da sababbin igiyoyin da ba su bushe ba, zan zama marar ƙarfi kamar kowa.”
“If I'm tied up with seven supple bowstrings that haven't dried out, I'll become just as weak,” Samson told her.
8 Sa’an nan shugabannin Filistiyawa suka kawo mata sababbin igiyoyi guda bakwai da ba su bushe ba, sai ta daure shi da su.
The Philistine leaders brought her seven supple bowstrings that hadn't dried out, and she tied him up 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.
Having arranged for men to hide in her bedroom ready to attack him, she shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a thread snaps when a flame touches it. So nobody found out where his strength came from.
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.”
Later Delilah said to Samson, “You've made me look stupid, telling me these lies! So now please tell me what can be used to tie you up.”
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.”
“If I'm tied up tight with new ropes that haven't been used before, I'll become just as weak as anyone else,” he told her.
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.
So Delilah got some new ropes and tied him up with them. She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” As before, men were hiding in her bedroom. But again Samson snapped the ropes from his arms as if they were thin threads.
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,
Delilah said to Samson, “You keep on making me look stupid, telling me these lies! Just tell me what can be used to tie you up!” “If you were to weave the seven braids of my hair into the web on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I'll become as weak as anyone else,” he told her. So while he was asleep, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, weaving them into 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 tightening the pin. She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” But Samson woke up and ripped out both the pin and the web from the loom.
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 Delilah complained to Samson, “How can you tell me, ‘I love you,’ when you don't let me into your confidence? Three times you've me look stupid, not telling me where your incredible strength comes from!”
16 Da irin wannan fitina ta tsokane shi kwana da kwanaki har sai da ya gaji kamar zai mutu.
She nagged and complained all the time, pestering him until he wanted to die.
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.”
Eventually Samson confided in her, sharing everything. “My hair has never been cut, because I've been dedicated as a Nazirite to God from my birth. If I'm shaved, my strength will leave me, and I'll become as weak as anyone else.”
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.
Delilah realized that he had truly confided in her and shared everything, she sent a message to the Philistine leaders telling them, “Come back once more, because this time he's confided in me and told me everything.” So the Philistine leaders returned, bringing with them the money to give to her.
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.
Delilah soothed him sleep on her lap, and then called in someone to shave off the seven braids of hair. She started to torment him but he couldn't do anything for his strength left 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.
She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” Samson woke up and thought to himself, “I'll do like before and shake myself free.” But he didn't know that the Lord had left 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.
The Philistines grabbed him and gouged out his eyes. Then they took him to Gaza where they imprisoned him in bronze chains. He was made to work grinding grain at the mill in the prison.
22 Amma gashi kansa ya fara tohuwa kuma bayan an aske shi.
But his hair began to grow back after it had been shaved off.
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.”
The Philistine leaders gathered for a great religious festival to sacrifice to their god Dagon and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has handed Samson our enemy over to us!”
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.”
When the people saw him, they praised their god, and said, “Our god has handed our enemy over to us, the one who devastated our land and killed so many of us.”
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,
As they began to get drunk, they shouted, “Summon Samson so he can entertain us!” So they summoned Samson from the prison to entertain them, and made him stand between the two main pillars of the building.
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.”
Samson said to the servant boy who was leading him by the hand, “Leave me by the pillars on which the temple rests so I can feel them, and lean against 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.
The temple was full of people. All the Philistine rulers were there, and on the roof were the ordinary people watching what Samson was doing.
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.”
Samson called out to the Lord, “Lord God, please remember me and give me strength. Please God, do this just once more, so that with one act I may pay the Philistines back in revenge for the loss of 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,
Samson reached for the two middle pillars that supported the temple. With his right hand leaning on one pillar and his left hand on the other,
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.
Samson shouted, “Let me die with the Philistines!” and he pushed with all his strength. The temple collapsed on the rulers and all the people in it. So those killed at his death were more than he killed 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.
Then his brothers and his whole family came and took him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. He led Israel as judge for twenty years.
