Uk-ukom 15
1 Kalpasan iti sumagmamano nga al-aldaw, kabayatan ti tiempo a panaga-ani iti trigo, nangala ni Samson iti urbon a kalding, ket napan sumarungkar iti asawana. Kinunana iti bagina, “Sumrekakto iti siled ti asawak”. Ngem saan isuna a palubosan ti ama iti asawana a sumrek.
Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.
2 Kinuna ti ama iti asawana, “Ti pagarupek ket pudno a kinaguram ti asawam, isu nga intedko isuna iti gayyemmo. Napinpintas ti ub-ubing a kabsatna ngem isuna, saan kadi? Alaem ketdi isuna a kasukatna.”
“I was sure that you thoroughly hated her,” said her father, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her instead.”
3 Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Ita a kanito awan basolko no maipapan kadagiti Filisteo inton dangrak ida.”
Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
4 Napan nagtiliw ni Samson iti tallo-gasut nga atap nga aso ket pinagrinneppetna dagiti ipus ti tunggal pares. Ket nangala isuna kadagiti pagsilawan ken inreppetna dagitoy iti nagtengngaan ti tunggal agpares nga ipus.
Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he took torches, turned the foxes tail-to-tail, and fastened a torch between each pair of tails.
5 Idi naseggedannan dagiti pagsilawan imbulosna dagiti atap nga aso kadagiti saan pay a naani a trigo dagiti Filisteo, ket pinuoran dagitoy dagiti nakapenpen a trigo ken dagiti saan pay naani a trigo idiay talon, agraman dagiti kaubasan ken dagiti kaoliboan.
Then he lit the torches and released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, burning up the piles of grain and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Nagsaludsod dagiti Filisteo, “Siasino ti nangaramid iti daytoy?” Naibaga kadakuada, “Ni Samson, a manugang ti Timniteo, ti nangaramid iti daytoy, gapu ta innala ti Timniteo ti asawa ni Samson ket intedna daytoy iti gayyemna.” Ket napan pinuoran dagiti Filisteo ti babai ken ti amana.
“Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.
7 Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “No daytoy iti aramidenyo, agibalesakto kadakayo, ket kalpasan a maaramid dayta, agsardengakto.”
And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
8 Ket pinutedputedna ida a pinidaso, iti patong ken luppoda, pinatay na ida iti nakaro a panangpapatay. Kalpasanna simmalog isuna ket nagnaed iti maysa a rukib idiay rangkis ti Etam.
And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
9 Ket simmang-at dagiti Filisteo ket nagsaganada a manggubat iti Juda ket impuestoda ti armadada idiay Lehi.
Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
10 Kinuna dagiti lallaki ti Juda, “Apay a simmang-atkayo a mangraut kadakami?” Kinunada, “Rumautkami tapno matiliwmi ni Samson, tapno maaramidmi kenkuana ti inaramidna kadakami.”
“Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
11 Ket simmalog dagiti tallo ribu a lallaki ti Juda a napan iti rukib idiay rangkis ti Etam, ket kinunada kenni Samson, “Saanmo aya ammo a dagiti Filisteo ti mangiturturay kadatayo? Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kadakami?” Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Ti inaramidda kaniak, ket isu met ti inaramidko kadakuada.”
In response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked Samson, “Do you not realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
12 “Kinunada kenni Samson, “Immaykami tapno reppetendaka, ket iyawatdaka iti turay dagiti Filisteo,” Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Isapatayo kaniak a saan a dakayo a mismo ti mangpatay kaniak.”
But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
13 Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan, reppetendaka laeng ket iyawatdaka kadakuada. Ikarimi a saandaka a patayen.” Ket rineppetda isuna iti dua a baro a tali ket inruarda isuna manipud iti bato.
“No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
14 Idi dimteng isuna idiay Lehi, nagpukkaw dagiti Filisteo idi sinabatda isuna. Ket immay kenkuana ti Espiritu ni Yahweh nga addaan pannakabalin. Nagbalin a kasla lino a napuoran dagiti tali iti takiagna, ket natnag dagitoy manipud kadagiti imana.
When Samson arrived in Lehi, the Philistines came out shouting against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and the bonds broke loose from his hands.
15 Nakasarak ni Samson iti sadiwa a tulang ti panga ti asno, pinidutna daytoy ket pinatayna ti sangaribu a lallaki babaen iti daytoy.
He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
16 Kinuna ni Samson, “Babaen iti tulang ti panga ti asno, nagabsuon iti rabaw dagiti gabsuon. Napapatayko ti sangaribu a lallaki babaen iti tulan ti panga ti asno.”
Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”
17 Idi nalpas a nagsasao ni Samson, imbellengna ti tulang ti panga ti asno, ket naawagan ti lugar iti Ramat-Lehi.
And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.
18 Mawaw unay ni Samson ket immawag kenni Yahweh ket kinuna, “Intedmo daytoy a dakkel a panagballigi iti adipenmo, ngem ita matayak gapu iti pannakawaw ket matnagakto kadagiti ima dagiti a saan a nakugit.”
And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
19 Ket inungap ti Dios ti nalungog a lugar idiay Lehi, ket adda iti pimmusuak a danum. Idi nakainom isuna, nagsubli ti pigsana ket simmaranta isuna. Isu a napanaganan dayta a lugar iti En-Hakkore, ket adda pay daytoy idiay Lehi agingga ita nga aldaw.
So God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day.
20 Nagbalin nga ukom ni Samson ti Israel kadagiti al-aldaw dagiti Filisteo iti las-ud ti duapulo a tawen.
And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
