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.
And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
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 thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
3 Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Ita a kanito awan basolko no maipapan kadagiti Filisteo inton dangrak ida.”
And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
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.
And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the 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.
And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.
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.
Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.
7 Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “No daytoy iti aramidenyo, agibalesakto kadakayo, ket kalpasan a maaramid dayta, agsardengakto.”
But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
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 made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam.
9 Ket simmang-at dagiti Filisteo ket nagsaganada a manggubat iti Juda ket impuestoda ti armadada idiay Lehi.
Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
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.”
And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against 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.”
Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
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.”
And they said to him, We are come to bind thee and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me, that you will not kill me.
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.
They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.
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.
Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.
15 Nakasarak ni Samson iti sadiwa a tulang ti panga ti asno, pinidutna daytoy ket pinatayna ti sangaribu a lallaki babaen iti daytoy.
And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith 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.”
And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and 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 he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.
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.”
Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall 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.
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day.
20 Nagbalin nga ukom ni Samson ti Israel kadagiti al-aldaw dagiti Filisteo iti las-ud ti duapulo a tawen.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
