And he said father her certainly I thought that certainly you hated her and I gave her to companion your ¿ not [is] sister her young good more than her let her belong please to you in place of her.

And he said to them Samson I will be free this time from [the] Philistines for [am] about to do I with them harm.

And he went Samson and he captured three hundred foxes and he took torches and he turned tail to tail and he put a torch one between [the] two the tails in the middle.

And he kindled fire on the torches and he sent [them] among [the] standing grain of [the] Philistines and it burned up from [the] heap of sheaves and unto [the] standing grain and unto [the] vineyard of olive tree[s].
6 Mgbe ndị Filistia chọpụtara ihe mere, ha jụrụ sị, “Onye mere ihe dị otu a?” A gwara ha, “Ọ bụ Samsin ọgọ onye Timna, nʼihi na a kpọnyere enyi ya nwunye ya.” Nʼihi nke a, ndị Filistia niile zukọtara kpọpụta nwaagbọghọ ahụ na nna ya kpọọ ha ọkụ.
And they said [the] Philistines who? did he do this [thing] and they said Samson [the] son-in-law of the Timnite for he has taken wife his and he has given her to companion his and they went up [the] Philistines and they burned her and father her with fire.
7 Ma Samsin gwara ha okwu sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na unu mere ihe dị otu a, agaghị akwụsị tutu m bọrọ ọbọ ihe ọjọọ unu mere.”
And he said to them Samson if you will do! like this that except I have avenged myself on you and after I will cease.

And they said [the] man of Judah why? have you come up on us and they said to bind Samson we have come up to do to him just as he did to us.
11 Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juda zipụrụ puku ndị agha ka ha gaa jide Samsin nʼọgba nkume ahụ nke Etam. Ndị a bịara jụọ Samsin ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Ọ bụ na ị maghị na ndị Filistia na-achị obodo anyị?” Samsin zara sị ha, “Ihe m mere bụ imegwata ha ihe ha mere m.”
And they went down three thousand man from Judah to [the] cleft of [the] rock of Etam and they said to Samson ¿ not do you know that [are] ruling over us [the] Philistines and what? this have you done to us and he said to them just as they did to me so I have done to them.
12 Ha sịrị ya, “Anyị abịala ka anyị kee gị agbụ, dọkpụrụ gị, nye nʼaka ndị Filistia.” Samsin sịrị ha, “Ṅụọrọnụ m iyi na unu agaghị eji aka unu gbuo m.”
And they said to him to bind you we have come down to give you in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and he said to them Samson swear to me lest you should fall! on me you.

And they said to him saying In-deed certainly we will bind you and we will give you in hand their and certainly not we will kill you and they bound him with two ropes new and they brought up him from the rock.
