Mwet Nununku 15
1 Tok kutu, ke pacl in kosrani lun wheat, Samson el us nani fusr soko ac som in osun nu sin mutan kial ah. El fahk nu sin papa talupal, “Nga lungse utyak nu ke infukil lun mutan kiuk ah.” Tusruktu papa sac tia lela.
But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2 El fahk nu sel Samson, “Nga pangon kom srungalla na pwaye, oru nga eisalang nu sin kawuk se lom ah. Tusruktu tamtael fusr se wial inge el kato lukel. Kom ku in eisal elan aolulla.”
Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
3 Na Samson el fahk, “Inge, nga finne oru kutu ma upa nu sin mwet Philistia, ac fah wangin mwetik kac.”
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 Na el som ac sruokya kosro fox tolfoko ac kapriya pulalos kais lukwa, ac sang kahp in e nu kac.
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
5 Na el akosak kahp inge ac fuhlelosla in ima in wheat lun mwet Philistia ah. Ouinge wheat ma elos kosrani tari ac wheat ma srakna kapak in ima ah, firiryak nufon, oayapa sak olive wi pac folla.
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Ke mwet Philistia elos siyuk lah su oru ma inge, na fwackyang nu selos lah Samson pa oru uh, mweyen papa talupal el tuh eisalang mutan kial Samson nu sin kawuk se lal Samson ah. Ouinge mwet Philistia elos som ac esukak lohm sin papa sac, na mutan sac ac sou lal nufon misa.
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 Samson el fahk nu selos, “Fin pa inge orekma lowos uh, nga fulahk lah nga fah tiana tui nwe ke na nga aksafyela foloksak luk nu suwos!”
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 El oru sie mweun na upa, ac onela mwet puspis selos. Na el som ac muta in luf se ke eot fulat in Etam.
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Mwet Philistia elos tuku ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Judah, ac elos mweuni acn Lehi.
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 Mwet Judah elos siyuk selos, “Efu ku kowos tuku mweuni kut?” Na elos fahk, “Kut tuku in sruokilya Samson in folokin nu sel ma el oru nu sesr.”
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11 Na tausin tolu sin mwet Judah inge som nu ke luf se ke eot fulat in Etam ac fahk nu sel Samson, “Ya kom nikin lah mwet Philistia elos pa leum facsr uh— Mea se kom oru nu sesr inge?” Na el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Ma na elos oru nu sik ah pa nga oru oapana nu selos.”
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
12 Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kut tuku in kaprikomi tuh kut in eiskomyang nu inpaolos.” Na Samson el fahk, “Fulahk nu sik lah kowos ac tia sifacna uniyuwi.”
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13 Na elos fahk, “Aok, kut ac tia unikomi. Kut ac kaprikomi na, ac eiskomyang nu selos.” Ouinge elos kaprilya ke sucl sasu lukwa ac pwanulak liki eot fulat sac.
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 Ke el sun acn Lehi, mwet Philistia elos sasa ac kasrusr tuku nu yorol. In kitin pacl ah na, ku lun LEUM GOD putati nu facl, ac el wotyalik sucl ma kapriya paol oana luman turet ma firirla tari, ac mwe kapir putatla liki paol.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 Na el konauk srin oalin donkey soko ma tufahna misa, ac el srukak ac sang onela sie tausin mwet kac.
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Na Samson el on ac fahk, “Ke srin oalin donkey soko, nga uniya sie tausin mwet; Ke srin oalin donkey soko, nga elosak yolin mwet.”
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 Tukun ma inge, el sisla sri soko ah, na pangpang acn se ma inge sikyak we ah Ramath Lehi.
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 Na Samson el arulana malu, ouinge el pang nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Kom ase kutangla na lulap se inge nu sik. Ya pwaye nga ac misa ke sripen malu, ac putatyang nu inpoun mwet pegan?”
He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
19 Na God El ikaselik sie acn oalal infohk uh in acn Lehi, ac kof unonak kac me. Ke Samson el nimkofi ngunal folokyang, na el sifilpa kui. Ouinge unon in kof se inge pangpang En-Hakkore, ac srakna oasr in acn Lehi nwe misenge.
And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 Samson el tuh nununku mwet Israel yac longoul, ke pacl se mwet Israel elos muta ye poun mwet Philistia.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
