Jasi Vahere 14
1 Hagi Samsoni'a mago zupa Timna kumate vuno Filistia vahe mofa ome keteno,
One day when Samson was in Timnah [town], he saw a young Philistine woman there.
2 ete kuma'arega eazamo nererane nefanena amanage huno eme zanasami'ne. Timna kumatera Filistia mofa'nefinti mago mofa kentete'na oanki avrenamike'na a' eri'neno.
When he returned home, he told his mother and father, “I saw a young Philistine woman in Timnah, and I want you to get her for me so I can marry her.”
3 Hianagi nererake nefakea amanage huke kenona hu'na'e, Tagri nagapine Israeli vahepinena a'nea omani'negenka, agoza anoma taga osu Filistia vahepintira ara eri'za nehano? Hianagi Samsoni'a amanage huno nefana asami'ne, Ome avrenka eme namio. Na'ankure nagri navurera knare agi agonane mofa mani'ne.
His mother and father objected very strongly. They said, “Is there no woman from our tribe, or from the other Israeli tribes, that you could marry? Why must you go to the heathen Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me! She is the one I want!”
4 Hagi e'i ana knafina Filistia vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera kegava huzamante'nageno, Filistia vahe ha' huzmantesiegu Ra Anumzamo mago kankamu eri fore hianagi, nerera'ene nefa'enena antahi amara osu'na'e.
His mother and father did not realize that Yahweh was arranging this. He was preparing a way for [Samson to defeat] the Philistines, who were ruling over Israel at that time.
5 Hagi Samsoni'ene nerera'ene nefa'enema Timna vunaku nevu'za, waini hozama me'nea tava'onte azageno, mago laionimo'a amprinaku krafa huno e'ne.
So, as Samson was going down to Timnah, followed by his mother and father, a young lion attacked Samson near the vineyards close to Timnah.
6 Ana'ma higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a ame huno himamu hanavea Samsonina amigeno, azampina mago zana e'ori'neanagi ame' huno meme afu anenta aheno rutagana vazitreankna huno ana laionia aheno eritagna vazitre'ne. Hianagi ana'ma hiazana nererane, nefanena ozanasami'ne.
Then Yahweh’s Spirit came upon Samson powerfully, with the result that he tore the lion apart with his hands. He did it [as easily] as if it were a young goat. But he did not tell his mother and father about it.
7 Hagi Timna kumate'ma uhanatino'ma ana mofa'enema nanekema ome nehuno keana, ana mofa'mo'a Samsoni avurera hentofaza hu'ne.
When they arrived in Timnah, Samson talked with the young woman, and he liked her very much. [And his father made arrangements for the wedding].
8 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno, ana mofara a' avrenaku Timna kumate ete nevuno, laionima ahentegeno kasrinefina tumemo'a ana laioni avufgafina karegre nehigeno, tumerimo'a avite'negeno ome ke'ne.
Later, when Samson returned to Timnah for the wedding, he turned off the path to see the carcass of the lion. He discovered that [after other creatures had eaten all the flesh], a swarm of bees [had made a hive in the skeleton and] had made some honey.
9 Hagi ana tumerina varagofino tare azampi erineno nemeneme vu'ne. Hagi etema ne-eno'a mago'a erino nererane nefane eme zanamigeke ne'na'e. Hianagi fri'nea laionimofo avufgafinti varagofina e'noe huno ozanasami'ne.
So he scooped some of the honey into his hands and ate some of it as he was walking along. He also gave some of it to his mother and father, but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the skeleton of the lion, [because anyone dedicated to God was not to touch any corpse].
10 Hagi nefa'ma vuno'ma Samsoni'ene ana a'enema aravema hana'a kema eri fatgoma nehigeno'a, zamavuzmavapima nehazaza huno Samsoni'a aravema hu kave retrotra hu'ne.
As his father was making the final arrangements for the marriage, Samson gave a party [for the young men in that area]. That was the custom for men to do when they were about to be married.
11 Hagi ana a'mofo naga'mo'za kazana hige'za 30'a nehazave huzamantege'za Samsoni'ene emani'naze.
Thirty young man were invited to the party.
12 Hagi Samsoni'a anage huno ana nehazavea zamasami'ne, 7ni'a knafima kavema trohuta nesuna knafina, mago fronka ke tamasamigahunki rezaganeta kegahaze. Huama'ma hanage'na 30'a efeke zaza kukenane, 30'a knare kukenanena tamigahue.
Samson said to them, “Allow me to tell you a riddle. If you tel me the meaning of my riddle during these seven days of the celebration, I will give each of you a linen robe and an extra set of clothes.
13 Hianagi ana fronka kema huama osanazana, 30'a efeke kukenane 30'a knare kukenanena tamagra namigahaze. Anage hige'za amanage hu'naze, Tamage hananki ana fronka keka'a hugeta antahimaneno.
But if you cannot tell me the meaning, you must each give me a linen robe and an extra set of clothes.” They replied, “All right. Tell us your riddle.”
14 Anagema hazageno'a amanage hu'ne, Ne'zama tragafeno nenea zagafintira ne'za fore hu'ne. Hanki hankave zagafintira haganentake'za efore hu'ne. Hianagi 3'a zagegnamofo agu'afina ana fronka kea refko hu'za huamara hugara osu'naze.
So he said, “From the thing that eats came something to eat; out of something strong came something sweet.” But for three days they could not tell him the meaning of the riddle.
15 Hagi namba 4 knarera Samsoni nenarona amanage hu'za asami'naze, Negavena azeri masave hugeno fronka ke'a huama huno tasamino. Hagi ana'ma osananketa kagri'ene negafa naga'enena tevefi krefanane hugahune. Hagi tagrira tazeri tamunte omanenanku tanagra kea haketa e'nono?
On the fourth day, they said to Samson’s bride, “Ask your husband to tell you the meaning of the riddle. If you do not do that, we will burn down your father’s house, with you inside it! Did you invite us here only to make us poor [by forcing us to buy a lot of clothes for your husband]?”
16 Hagi anagema hazageno'a, Samsoni nenaro'a Samsoninte vuno zavi ome neteno amanage hu'ne, Nagrira kavresra hunantenka kavesinonantane. E'ina nehunka vahe'ni'amofona fronka kea eri amara nosunka ana kemofo agafa'a nagrira onasami'nane. Anage higeno Samsoni'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra nenererane nenfanena amana fronka kemofo agafa'a ozanasami'noanki, nahanige'na kagrira kasamigahue?
So Samson’s wife came to him, crying, and said to him, “You do not really love me. You hate me! You have told a riddle to my friends, but you have not told me the meaning of the riddle!” He replied, “I have not told the meaning of the riddle even to my mother and father, so why should I tell it to you?”
17 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ne'zama kreno neneno musema hu 7ni'a knamofo agu'afina, ana a'mo'a zavira neteno tutu huno antahige vava higeno, Samsoni'a antahi avesra nehuno, 7ni knare ana fronka kemofo agafa'a huama huno nenarona asamigeno, ete vuno ana nehazaveramina ome zamasami'ne.
She continued to cry every time she was with him, all during the rest of the celebration. Finally, on the seventh day, because she continued to nag him, he told her the meaning of the riddle. Then she told it to the young men.
18 Hagi ana kumapi vene'nemo'za ana nanekema nentahi'za, 7ni knarera zagemo'a uofre'nege'za Samsoninte ana nanekea eri'za e'za amanage eme hu'naze, Na'amo tumerimofo haga'a agateregeno, na'amo laionimofo hanavea agatere'ne? Anagema hazageno'a, Samsoni'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagri a' bulimakao anentateti'ma hozama e'orizaresina fronka keni'amofo agafa'a keta eriforera osazasine.
So, before sunset on the seventh day, the young men came to Samson and said to him, “What/Nothing is sweeter than honey [RHQ]. What/Nothing is stronger than a lion [RHQ]!” Samson replied, “[You should not force a heifer to] plow a field [MET]. Similarly, if you had not forced my bride to ask me about the riddle [MET], you would not have known the answer to my riddle!”
19 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a himamu'ane Samsoninte egeno Askeloni kumate vuno 30'a vahe ome nezamaheno, keonke'zazimine, kukenaziminena erino fronka kema huama'ma haza vahera eme zami'ne. Ana huteno tusi arimpa nehegeno nefa nontega vu'ne.
Then Yahweh’s Spirit powerfully took control of Samson. He went down to [the coast at] Ashkelon [town], and killed 30 men. He took their clothes [and went back to Timnah] and gave them to the men who had told him the meaning of the riddle. But he was very angry about what had happened, so he went back home to live with his mother and father.
20 Hagi anama higeno'a, Samsoni nenarona, anama aravema hia zupama avegama hu'za mani'naza nehazavefinti mago ne'mofo avremizageno ara eri'ne.
So (Samson’s wife was given/the bride’s father gave Samson’s wife) to the man who who had been Samson’s best man at the wedding, [but Samson did not know that].
