Lunakanawai 15
1 A MAUOPE iho, i na la o ka hoiliili ana i ka hua palaoa, hele aku la o Samesona, me ke kaokeiki, e ike i kana wahine; i iho la, E komo aku no wau iloko o ke keena i ka'u wahine. Aole nae i haawi mai kona makuakane ia ia ke komo iloko.
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of the wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in.
2 I mai la kona makuakane, Manao maopopo ae la au, ua hoowahawaha loa oe ia ia nei, nolaila haawi aku au ia ia i kou hoa. Aole anei i oi aku ka maikai o kona kaikaina mamua o kona? Nau ia, ea, a kaawale keia.
And her father said, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hate her; therefore I gave her to thy companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Let her, I pray thee, be thine instead of her.
3 I iho la o Samesona no lakou, Aole au e hewa e like me ko Pilisetia, ke hana au i mea e poino ai lakou.
And Samson said to them, This time I am blameless toward the Philistines, though I do them harm.
4 Hele aku la o Samesona, hopu iho la i na alopeke, ekolu haneri, a lawe i na lamaku, a hui ae la i kahi huelo i kahi huelo, a waiho iho la i ka lamaku iwaena o na huelo elua.
And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between the two tails.
5 A puhi iho ia i na lama i ke ahi, alaila kuu aku la, e hele lakou iloko o ka hua palaoa o ko Pilisetia e ku ana, a puhi i ke ahi i na puu hua palaoa a me ka hua palaoa e ku ana, a me na pawaina, a me na oliva.
And he set the torches on fire, and let [them] run into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, and the olive gardens.
6 Alaila, ninau ae la ko Pilisetia, Nawai i hana i keia? I mai la lakou, Na Samesona, na ka hunona a kekahi o ko Timenata, no ka mea, na lawe oia i ka ia la wahine, a ua haawi ia ia na kona hoa. Pii mai la ko Pilisetia, a puhi iho la i ua wahine la, a me kona makuakane i ke ahi.
And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
7 I ae la o Samesona ia lakou, Ua hana no oukou i keia, aka, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, a mahope iho, oki au.
And Samson said to them, If ye act thus, for a certainty I will avenge myself on you, and then I will cease.
8 Luku ae la ia ia lakou, ke kikala a me ka uha, he luku nui loa. Alaila iho aku la ia a noho ma kekahi ana o ka pohaku, ma Etama.
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the cliff Etam.
9 Alaila hele ae la ko Pilisetia, a hoomoana iho la ma ko Iuda, a hoopalahalaha aku la ma Lehi.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 Ninau aku la na kanaka o ka Iuda, No ke aha la oukou i pii mai nei e ku e ia makou? I mai la lakou, Ua pii mai nei makou e nakinaki ia Samesona e hana aku ia ia, e like me kana i hana mai ai ia makou.
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 has done to us.
11 Alaila, iho aku la ekolu tausani kanaka o ka Iuda i ke ana iloko o ka pohaku ma Etama, i aku la ia Samesona, Aole anei oe i ike, o ko Pilisetia no ko kakou poe haku? Heaha keia mea au i hana mai nei ia kakou? I mai la kela ia lakou, E like me ka lakou i hana mai ai ia'u, pela no wau i hana aku ai ia lakou.
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the cliff Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 I aku la lakou ia ia, Ua iho mai nei makou e nakinaki ia oe, a e haawi aku ia oe i ka lima o ko Pilisetia. I mai la o Samesona ia lakou, E hoohiki mai oukou ia'u, aole oukou e pepehi mai ia'u.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may give thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall on me yourselves.
13 Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Aole, aku, e nakinaki makou ia oe a paa, a haawi aku ia oe i ko lakou lima, aole loa makou e pepehi aku ia oe. Nakinaki iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula hou elua, a lawe mai ia ia, mai ka pohaku mai.
And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we certainly shall not put thee to death. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the cliff.
14 Hele ae la ia a Lehi, hooho ku e mai la ko Pilisetia ia ia; a kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, lilo iho la na kaula maluna o kona mau lima e like me ke olona i pau i ke ahi, a popo iho la kona mea paa ma kona lima.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and the cords that were on his arms became as threads of flax that are burned with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 A loaa ia ia ka iwia o ka hoki, he iwia maka, hohola aku la i kona lima, lalau iho la ia mea, a me ia no ia i luku aku ai i hookahi tausani kanaka.
And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand and took it, and slew with it a thousand men.
16 I iho la o Samesona, Me ka iwia o ka hoki, o ka puu o na puu, me ka iwia o ka hoki ka'u i luku aku ai i hookahi tausani kanaka.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, a heap, two heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 A pau kana olelo ana, hoolei aku la ia i ka iwia mailoko aku o kona lima, a kapa aku ia wahi o Ramatalehi.
And it came to pass when he had ended speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi.
18 Makewai loa iho la ia, a hea aku la ia Iehova, i aku la, Ua haawi mai oe i keia ola nui ma ka lima o kau kauwa nei; a e make anei au i ka makewai, a haule iloko o ka lima o ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia?
And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given by the hand of thy servant this great deliverance, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 Wahi ae la ke Akua i puka maloko o ka iwia, a puka mai la ka wai, mailoko mai o ia mea; a inu ia, alaila, hoi mai ka hanu, a ola ae la ia: nolaila, kapa aku la oia i ka inoa o ia wahi o Enehakore, aia ma Lehi, a hiki mai i keia la.
And God clave the hallow rock which was in Lehi, and water came out of it. And he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
20 Nana no i hooponopono i ka Iseraela i na la o ko Pilisetia, i na makahiki he iwakalua.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
