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 wheat-harvest, that Samson went to visit his wife, with a kid, and he said—I will go in unto my wife, in 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, thought, that thou didst, hate, her, so I gave her to thy companion, —Is not, her younger sister, fairer than she? Pray let her be thine, in her stead.
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 of them, I shall be more blameless, this time, than the Philistines, —though I should do them a mischief.
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.
So Samson went, and caught three hundred jackals, —and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put one torch between the two tails, in the midst.
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, when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, —and set fire, both to the stack of sheaves and to the standing corn, and besides to the olive plantation.
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.
Then said the Philistines—Who hath done this? And they said—Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion. So the Philistines went 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, Though ye do the like of this, yet will I be avenged upon you, and, afterwards, will I 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.
So he smote them, leg on thigh, with a great smiting, —and went down and dwelt in a cleft of the crag Etam.
9 Alaila hele ae la ko Pilisetia, a hoomoana iho la ma ko Iuda, a hoopalahalaha aku la ma Lehi.
Then went up the Philistines, and encamped in Judah, —and were spread abroad 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, Wherefore have ye come up against us? And they said—To bind Samson, are we come up, to do unto him as he hath done unto 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 went down three thousand men out of Judah, unto the cleft of the crag Etam, and said unto Samson—Knowest thou not that the Philistines are lording it over us? What, then, is this thou hast done to us? And he said unto them, As they have done 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—To bind thee, are we come down, to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye will not fall upon 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 answered him, saying—Nay; but we will, bind, thee, and deliver thee into their hand, but we will not, put thee to death. So they bound him with two new ropes, and took him up from the crag.
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.
He, was coming in as far as Lehi, and, the Philistines, came shouting to meet him, —when the Spirit of Yahweh came suddenly over him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as threads of flax which have been ignited with fire, so that his bonds melted 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.
Then found he the jawbone of an ass newly-slain, —so he thrust forth his hand, and took it, and smote therewith, 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, —have I piled them up in heaps! With the jawbone of an ass, have I smitten 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 made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, —and called the name of 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 sore athirst, so he cried unto Yahweh, and said, Thou thyself, hast given, into the hand of thy servant, this great salvation, —and, now, must I die of 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.
So then God clave open the hollow that is in Lehi, and there came therefrom water, and he drank, and his spirit came back, and he revived, —for this cause, called he the name thereof—Ain-hakkore, which is in Lehi, until 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.
