Bilombe 15
1 Sima na mwa mikolo, na eleko oyo bakataka ble, Samison azwaki mwana ntaba mpe akendeki kotala mwasi na ye. Alobaki: — Nalingi kokota na shambre epai wapi mwasi na ngai alalaka. Kasi tata ya mwasi na ye apesaki ye nzela te.
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 Alobaki na Samison: — Nakanisaki penza ete olingaka ye te, yango wana nabalisaki ye epai ya moko kati na baninga na yo, oyo obengisaki na feti. Tala leki na ye ya mwasi, aleki ye na kitoko te? Zwa ye kaka.
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 Samison alobaki na bango: — Ya mbala oyo, nakozala ata na ngambo moko te liboso ya bato ya mokili ya Filisitia; nakeyi kosala bango mabe.
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 Samison abimaki mpe akangaki bambwa ya zamba nkama misato, akangisaki yango mibale-mibale na mikila mpe atiaki koni na kati-kati ya mikila mibale-mibale ya bambwa yango.
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 Apelisaki koni yango mpe atikaki bambwa ya zamba kati na bilanga ya ble ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo esili kokomela. Atumbaki maboke ya ble oyo batiaki na mipiku mpe ble oyo babukaki nanu te, banzete ya vino mpe banzete ya olive.
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 Bato ya Filisitia batunaki: — Nani asali boye? Bazongiselaki bango: — Ezali Samison, bokilo ya moto moko ya Timina; pamba te abalisaki mwasi ya Samison epai ya moko kati na baninga oyo Samison abengisaki na feti. Bato ya Filisitia bakendeki mpe batumbaki mwasi yango elongo na tata na ye kino bakufaki.
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 Samison alobaki na bango: « Lokola bosali boye, nakotika te kino nakozongisela bino mabe na mabe. »
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 Samison abundisaki bango mpe abomaki ebele kati na bango. Bongo akendeki mpe avandaki kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Etami.
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 Bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpe batongaki molako na bango kati na etuka ya Yuda, bapanzanaki kino na etuka ya Leyi.
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 Bato ya Yuda batunaki: — Mpo na nini boyei kobundisa biso? Bato ya Filisitia bazongiselaki bango: — Toyei kokanga Samison na basinga mpo ete tosala ye ndenge asalaki biso.
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 Bato nkoto misato ya Yuda bakendeki na lidusu ya mabanga ya Etami, mpe balobaki na Samison: — Oyebi te ete bato ya Filisitia bazali kokonza biso? Likambo nini osali biso? Samison azongisaki: — Nazongiseli bango makambo oyo bango basalaki ngai.
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 Bato ya Yuda balobaki na Samison: — Toyei mpo na kokanga yo na basinga mpe kokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia. Samison alobaki na bango: — Bolapa ndayi liboso na ngai ete bokoboma ngai te bino moko.
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 Bato ya Yuda bazongisaki: — Iyo! Tokoboma yo te. Tolingi kaka kokanga yo na basinga mpe kokaba yo na maboko na bango. Bongo bakangaki ye na basinga mibale ya sika mpe babimisaki ye na lidusu ya mabanga.
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 Tango bakomaki pembeni ya etuka ya Leyi, bato ya Filisitia bayaki kokutana na ye na koganga. Molimo na Yawe akitelaki ye na nguya, mpe basinga oyo ekangaki maboko na ye ekatanaki lokola basinga ya lino oyo eziki na moto, mpe ekweyaki wuta na maboko na ye.
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 Samison amonaki mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, asembolaki loboko na ye, alokotaki mokuwa yango mpe abomaki na yango bato nkoto moko.
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Samison alobaki: « Na mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, nakangisi bango mipiku na mipiku; na mokuwa ya mobesu ya mbanga ya ane, nabomi bato nkoto moko. »
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 Tango asilisaki koloba, abwakaki mokuwa yango mosika mpe apesaki esika yango kombo « Ramati-Leyi. »
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 Lokola azalaki na posa makasi ya mayi, asambelaki Yawe: « Opesi mosali na Yo elonga oyo monene; boni, nakufa sik’oyo na posa ya mayi mpe nakweya na maboko ya bato oyo bakatama ngenga te? »
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 Bongo Nzambe afungolaki libanga oyo ezalaki kati na Leyi, mpe libanga yango ebimisaki mayi. Tango Samison amelaki mayi, makasi na ye ezongaki mpe azwaki lisusu bomoi. Boye abengaki etima yango Eyini-Akore.
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 Samison akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale, wana bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kokonza mokili.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
