Uk-ukom 14
1 Simmalog ni Samsom idiay Timna, ket sadiay, nakitana ti maysa a babai, maysa kadagiti annak dagiti Filisteo.
And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Idi nagawid isuna, imbagana iti ama ken inana, “Nakitak ti maysa a babai idiay Timna, maysa kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti Filisteo. Ita, alaenyo isuna para kaniak tapno agbalin nga asawak.”
So he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said—A woman, have I seen in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines, —now, therefore, take her for me, to wife.
3 Ngem kinuna ti ama ken inana kenkuana, “Awan kadi ti babai kadagiti annak dagiti kabagiam, wenno kadagiti amin a tattaotayo? Mangalaka kadi iti asawaem manipud kadagiti saan a nakugit a Filisteo?” Kinuna ni Samson iti amana, “Alaem isuna para kaniak, ta tunggal makitak isuna, maay-ayoak kenkuana.”
And his father and his mother said to him—Is there not, among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going away to take a woman from among the uncircumcised Philistines? But Samson said unto his father—Take, her, for me, for, she, is pleasant in mine eyes.
4 Ngem saan nga ammo ti ama ken inana a nagtaud kenni Yahweh daytoy a banag, ta kayatna a mangparnuay iti riri kadagiti Filisteo (ta dagiti Filisteo ti mangiturturay iti Israel iti dayta a tiempo).
Now, his father and his mother, knew not, that, from Yahweh, it was, that, an occasion, he was seeking of the Philistines, —at that time, the Philistines having dominion over Israel.
5 Kalpasanna, kadua ni Samson ti ama ken inana a simmalog idiay Timna, ket nakagtengda kadagiti kaubasan ti Timna. Ket rimmuar sadiay ti maysa a bumaro a leon nga agngerngernger kenkuana.
So Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, —and they came as far as the vineyards of Timnath, when lo! a young lion, roaring to meet him.
6 Immay a dagus kenkuana ti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ket rinangrangkayna ti leon a kas kalaka iti panangrangkayna iti bassit a kalding, ket awan ti iggemna. Ngem saanna nga imbaga iti ama wenno inana ti inaramidna.
And the Spirit of Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he tore it in pieces as if he had torn in pieces a kid, there being, nothing at all, in his hand, —but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Napanna kinasarita ti babai, ket idi kinitana ti babai, naay-ayo ni Samson kenkuana.
So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
8 Kalpasan ti sumagmamano nga aldaw idi nagsubli ni Samson tapno asawaenna isuna, simmiasi isuna tapno kitaenna ti bangkay ti leon. Ket adda maysa a pangen dagiti ayukan ken diro iti nabatbati a bagi ti leon.
And he returned, after a time, to take her, and went aside to see the carcass of the lion, —and lo! a swarm of bees, in the body of the lion, and, honey,
9 Inakuyna ti diro babaen kadagiti imana ket mangmangan bayat a magmagna. Idi nakagteng iti ayan ti ama ken iti inana, intedna ti dadduma kadagitoy, ket nanganda. Ngem saanna nga imbaga nga innalana ti diro iti nabatbati a bagi ti leon.
which he took into his hands, and went on—eating as he went, and came unto his father and unto his mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat, —but he told them not that, out of the carcass of the lion, he had taken the honey.
10 Simmalog ti ama ni Samson iti ayan ti babai, ket nagparambak ni Samson sadiay, ta daytoy ti kaugalian dagiti agtutubo a lallaki.
And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
11 Apaman a nakita dagiti kabagian ti babai isuna, nangiyegda kenkuana iti tallopulo a gagayyemda a mangkadua kenkuana.
And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained with him.
12 Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Adda burburtiak kadakayo. No adda kadakayo ti makaibaga kaniak iti sungbat daytoy kabayatan ti pito nga aldaw iti panagrambak, mangtedakto iti tallopulo a lino a kagay ken tallopulo a pagan-anay.”
And Samson said unto them, I pray you let me put you forth a riddle, —if ye, tell, it me, within the seven days of the banquet, and find it out, then will I give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of raiment;
13 Ngem no saanyo a maibaga kaniak ti sungbat, ket ikkandakto iti tallopulo a lino a kagay ken tallopulo a pagan-anay.” Kinunada kenkuana, “Ibagam kadakami ti burburtiam, tapno mangngegmi daytoy.”
but, if ye cannot tell me, then shall, ye, give me thirty linen wraps, and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 Kinunana kadakuada, “Manipud iti mangmangan, adda maysa a banag a makan; manipud iti napigsa, adda maysa a banag a nasam-it.” Ngem saan a napugtoan dagiti sangailina ti sungbat iti las-ud ti tallo nga aldaw.
And he said to them—Out of the eater, came forth food, And, out of the strong, came forth sweetness. But they could not tell the riddle, in three days.
15 Iti maika-uppat nga aldaw, kinunada iti asawa ni Samson, “Sikapam ti asawam tapno ibagana kadakami ti sungbat ti burburtia, ta no saan puorandaka ken ti balay ti amam. Inawisdakami kadi ditoy tapno papanglawendakami?”
And it came to pass, on the fourth day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn thee and the house of thy father, with fire. Was it not, to impoverish us, that ye invited us—was it not?
16 Ket rinugian ti asawa ni Samson ti agsangit iti sangoananna: kinunana, “Kagurguranak! Saannak nga ay-ayaten. Nangibagaka iti maysa a burburtia iti sumagmamano kadagiti tattaok, ngem saanmo nga imbaga kaniak ti sungbatna.” Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “Kitaem, no saanko nga imbaga iti ama wenno iti inak, rumberng kadi nga ibagak kenka?”
And the wife of Samson wept upon him, and said—Thou dost, altogether hate me, and dost not love me, a riddle, hast thou put forth to the sons of my people, and, unto me, thou hast not told it! And he said to her, Lo! to my own father and mother, have I not told it, and, to thee, shall I tell it?
17 Nagsangsangit isuna kabayatan ti pito nga aldaw a kabayag ti panagrambakda. Iti maikapito nga aldaw, imbaga ni Samson ti sungbat iti asawana gapu ta kasta unay ti panangpilitna kenkuana. Imbaga ti asawana ti sungbat kadagiti kabagian dagiti tattaona.
So she wept upon him the seven days, —while their banquet lasted, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that he told her, because she urged him, and she told the riddle unto the sons of her people.
18 Ket kinuna dagiti lallaki iti siudad kenni Samson iti maikapito nga aldaw sakbay a lumnek ti init, “Ania ti nasamsam-it ngem iti diro? Ania ti napigpigsa ngem ti leon?” Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “No saanyo a pinagarado ti bakak, saanyo koma a naammoan ti sungbat iti burburtiak.”
And the men of the city said to him, on the seventh day—ere yet the sun went in, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle!
19 Ket kellaat nga immay kenni Samson ti pannakabalin ti Espiritu ni Yahweh. Simmalog ni Samson idiay Askelon ket pinatayna ti tallopulo a lallaki kadagiti tattao. Innalana ti nasamsamda, ket intedna dagiti pagan-anay kadagiti nakasungbat iti burburtiana. Kasta unay ti ungetna ket simmang-at isuna iti balay ti amana.
And the Spirit of Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote of them thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes [of raiment] to them who had told the riddle, —and his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 Ket naited ti asawana iti nasinged a gayyemna.
And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
