Bilombe 14
1 Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Timina mpe amonaki kuna elenge mwasi moko ya Filisitia.
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
2 Tango azongaki, alobaki na tata mpe mama na ye: — Namoni mwasi moko kati na basi ya bato ya Filisitia, na Timina; bokende kobalela ngai ye.
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
3 Tata mpe mama na ye bazongisaki: — Boni, kati na bandeko na yo to kati na bato na biso nyonso, ezali te na bana basi ya kitoko mpo ete okende kozwa mwasi kati na bato ya Filisitia oyo bakatama ngenga te? Kasi Samison alobaki na tata na ye: — Balela ngai ye, pamba te ye nde abongi mpo na ngai.
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
4 Baboti na ye bayebaki te ete likambo wana ewutaki epai na Yawe, pamba te Yawe azalaki koluka nzela mpo na kokotisa mobulu kati na bana ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Filisitia. Pamba te na tango wana, bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele.
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5 Samison akendeki na Timina elongo na tata mpe mama na ye. Tango bakomaki pembeni ya bilanga ya vino ya Timina, mbala moko, mwana nkosi moko eyaki konguluma liboso ya Samison.
Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
6 Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Samison na nguya. Boye, Samison apasolaki nkosi na kati-kati, na maboko pamba, ndenge bapasolaka mwana ntaba. Kasi kati na makambo oyo asalaki, ayebisaki eloko moko te epai ya tata to mama na ye.
And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Sima na yango, Samison akendeki na Timina, asololaki na mwana mwasi mpe alingaki ye.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
8 Sima na mwa mikolo, tango azongaki na Timina mpo na kobala mwasi na ye, alekaki pembeni mpo na kotala nzoto ya nkosi oyo ekufaki. Kati na nzoto yango, amonaki liboke ya banzoyi mpe mafuta na yango.
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 Akamataki yango na maboko na ye mpe aliaki yango nzela-nzela. Tango akutanaki na baboti na ye, apesaki bango ndambo ya mafuta ya nzoyi. Bongo bango mpe baliaki yango; kasi atikalaki koyebisa bango te ete azwaki mafuta yango ya nzoyi kati na nzoto ya nkosi oyo ekufa.
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
10 Tata na ye akendeki kotala elenge mwasi yango, mpe Samison asalisaki kuna feti moko ya monene, kolanda ndenge ezalaki momesano mpo na libala.
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
11 Tango abimaki, bapesaki bato tuku misato mpo ete bavanda na ye elongo.
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Samison alobaki na bango: — Nalingi koyebisa bino lisese moko. Soki bopesi ngai eyano, na mikolo sambo ya feti, nakopesa bino bilamba tuku misato ya lino mpe bilamba tuku misato ya feti.
Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
13 Soki bokoki te kopesa ngai eyano, bokopesa ngai bilamba tuku misato ya lino mpe bilamba tuku misato ya feti. Balobaki: — Yebisa biso lisese na yo, tolingi koyoka yango!
But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
14 Samison alobaki na bango: — Kati na oyo eliaka, ebimi oyo baliaka; kati na oyo ezali makasi, ebimi oyo ezali elengi. Mikolo misato mobimba, bakokaki te kopesa ye eyano.
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
15 Bongo na mokolo ya minei, balobaki na mwasi ya Samison: — Bondela mobali na yo mpo ete apesa biso ndimbola ya lisese; sima na yango, yaka koyebisa biso ndimbola yango. Soki te, tokotumba yo elongo na ndako ya tata na yo. Obengisi biso awa mpo na koyiba biso?
And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
16 Bongo mwasi ya Samison akomaki kolela liboso ya mobali mpe alobaki na ye: — Oyina ngai! Solo, olingaka ngai te! Oyebisaki bato na ngai lisese, kasi oyebisaki ngai ndimbola na yango te! Samison azongisaki: — Natikala kutu kolimbola yango epai ya tata to mama na ngai te, bongo ndenge nini nalimbola yango epai na yo?
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
17 Na mikolo nyonso sambo ya feti, azalaki kaka kolela. Suka na suka, na mokolo ya sambo, Samison alimbolelaki ye yango, pamba te mwasi na ye atungisaki ye mingi. Bongo mwasi ya Samison, ye mpe akendeki kopesa ndimbola ya lisese yango epai ya bato na ye.
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 Na mokolo ya sambo, liboso ete moyi elala, bato ya engumba bayaki koloba na Samison: — Eloko nini ezali elengi koleka mafuta ya nzoyi? Mpe eloko nini eleki nkosi na makasi? Samison alobaki na bango: — Soki bosalaki likita te na mwasi na ngai, bokokaki koyeba te ndimbola ya lisese na ngai.
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
19 Bongo Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Samison na nguya. Akendeki na Ashikeloni mpe abomaki bato tuku misato, azwaki bilamba na bango mpe apesaki yango epai ya bato oyo bapesaki ye ndimbola ya lisese. Azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye na kanda makasi.
The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 Mpe babalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga ya Samison, oyo babengisaki na feti.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
