Balam 16
1 Samusooni n’alaga e Gaza n’alabayo omukazi malaaya, n’ayingira gy’ali.
Da bi, Samson kɔɔ Filistifo kuropɔn Gasa mu, na ɔne ɔbea guamanfo bi kɔdaa anadwo no.
2 Awo abantu ab’e Gaza ne bategeezebwa nga Samusooni bw’ali mu kifo ekyo. Ne bamuzingiza ne bamuteegera ku wankaaki w’ekibuga ekiro kyonna. Ne basiriikirira ekiro kyonna nga bagamba nti, “Obudde bwe bunaaba nga bunaatera okukya tunaamutta.”
Ankyɛ na kurowmma no tee sɛ Samson wɔ hɔ, enti Gasa mmarima boaboaa wɔn ho ano na wɔtwɛn kurow no pon ano anadwo mu no nyinaa. Wɔyɛɛ komm anadwo no kae se, “Ade kye a yebekum no.”
3 Naye Samusooni ne yeebaka okutuusa ettumbi, n’agolokoka mu ttumbi, n’akwata enzigi ebbiri eza wankaaki w’ekibuga, n’emifuubeeto gyombi, n’abisimbula okuva mu bifo byabyo, n’agyawo n’ekisiba, n’abiteeka ku bibegaabega bye n’abitwala ku ntikko y’olusozi olutunuulidde Kebbulooni.
Na Samson daa hɔ ara kosii ɔdasu mu. Ɔsɔre soo kurow no apon no ne nʼaponnua abien mu hodwow no, na otutuu dade abaa a ɛda akyi ne nea ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Ɔde ne nyinaa guu ne mmati so, soa de kɔɔ bepɔw bi a ɛne Hebron di nhwɛanim no atifi.
4 Awo oluvannyuma lw’ebyo n’aganza omukazi mu kiwonvu ky’e Soleki, erinnya lye Derira.
Akyiri no, Samson nyaa ɔbea bi wɔ Sorek bon no mu a na wɔfrɛ no Delila.
5 Abakulembeze b’Abafirisuuti ne bagenda gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Musendesende olabe amaanyi ge amangi mwe gasibuka, tulyoke tusinziire okwo okumusobola, tumusibe tumujeeze. Naffe tulikuwa buli omu ku ffe, ebitundu bya ffeeza lukumi mu kikumi.”
Filistifo ntuanofo no kɔɔ ɔbea no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ sɛ wubetumi adaadaa Samson ama wakyerɛ wo nea ɛma onya ahoɔden saa ne sɛnea yebetumi adi ne so, akyekyere no papee a yɛn mu biara bɛma wo nnwetɛbona du abien ne fa.”
6 Awo Derira n’agamba Samusooni nti, “Kaakano mbuulira amaanyi go amangi mwe gasibuka, era n’ekiyinza okukusiba okukujeeza.”
Enti Delila ka kyerɛɛ Samson se, “Mesrɛ wo kyerɛ me nea ɛma wo ahoɔden saa ne nea ɛbɛyɛ a wobetumi akyekyere wo papee.”
7 Samusooni n’amugamba nti, “Bwe bansiba enkolokolo embisi musanvu, ezitakaze, olwo nnaanafuwa ne mbeera ng’omuntu omulala yenna.”
Samson buaa no se, “Sɛ obi de agyan so ahama ason a ɛnwoe kyekyere me a, mɛyɛ mmerɛw te sɛ onipa biara.”
8 Abakulembeze b’Abafirisuuti ne baleetera omukazi enkolokolo musanvu embisi ezitakaze, n’azimusibya.
Enti Filistifo ntuanofo no de agyan so ahama ason a ɛnwoe brɛɛ Delila ma ɔde kyekyeree Samson.
9 Waaliwo abasajja abaali beekwese mu kisenge omwo omukazi mwe yali. Awo omukazi n’akoowoola Samusooni ng’agamba nti, “Samusooni Abafirisuuti bakuguddeko.” N’akutula enkolokolo, ng’omuntu bwe yandikutudde omuguwa oguyise mu muliro. Bwe kityo ensibuko y’amaanyi ge n’etazuulibwa.
Saa bere yi na ɔde mmarima ahintaw wɔ adan a ɛwɔ ne fi no baako mu; na ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Samson, Filistifo no aba rebɛkyere wo!” Nanso ɔtetew agyan ahama ason a ɛnwoe no mu te sɛ hama bi a wɔde aka ogya a ɛdɛw. Enti wɔanhu nʼahoɔden no ahintasɛm.
10 Awo Derira n’agamba Samusooni nti, “Laba, onduulidde, era onnimbye. Kaakano mbuulira ekiyinza okukusiba.”
Akyiri no, Delila ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wudii me ho fɛw, twaa me nkontompo. Afei, mesrɛ wo kyerɛ me sɛnea wobetumi akyekyere wo papee.”
11 N’amugamba nti, “Bwe bansibya emiguwa emiggya egitakozesebwangako, nnaanafuwa, ne mbeera ng’omuntu omulala yenna.”
Samson buaa no se, “Sɛ wɔde ntampehama amono a wɔmfa nnii dwuma biara da kyekyere me a, meyɛ mmerɛw te sɛ onipa obiara.”
12 Awo Derira n’addira emiguwa emiggya, n’amusiba, nga mu kisenge mulimu abasajja abeekwese. N’alyoka amukoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Samusooni, Abafirisuuti bakuguddeko.” N’agyekutulako ku mikono ng’ewuzi.
Enti Delila kɔfaa ntampehama amono de kyekyeree no. Saa bere no na mmarima no akɔtetɛw wɔ dan mu te sɛ kan no. Bio, Delila teɛɛ mu frɛɛ no se, “Samson! Filistifo aba sɛ wɔrebɛkyere wo!” Nanso Samson tetew ntampehama no mu fii ne nsa so te sɛ asaawa bi.
13 Awo Derira n’agamba Samusooni nti, “Okutuusa kaakano onduulidde era onnimbye. Mbuulira ekiyinza okukusiba.” N’amugamba nti, “Bw’onooluka emivumbo musanvu egiri ku mutwe gwange, n’engoye, n’obinyweza nzija kunafuwa, mbeere ng’omuntu omulala yenna.” N’aluka emivumbo omusanvu egy’ali ku mutwe gwe, n’engoye,
Delila ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wudii me ho fɛw twaa me nkontompo! Worenkyerɛ me sɛnea wobetumi akyekyere wo papee ana?” Samson buaa no se, “Sɛ wonwen me tinwi mmɛsa ason no bɔ ntama bamma a ɛwɔ wʼakurokurowa no mu a, mɛyɛ mmerɛw te sɛ obiara.” Enti ɔdae no, Delila bɔɔ ne tinwi mmɛsa ason no
14 n’abinyweza n’olubambo. N’amukoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Samusooni Abafirisuuti bakuguddeko.” N’agolokoka okuva mu tulo, ne yeetakkuluza ku lubambo lw’omuti ogulukirwako n’engoye ezirukiddwa.
de bɔɔ ntama bamma a ɛwɔ akurokurowa no so. Bio, ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Samson! Filistifo no aba rebɛkyere wo!” Ɛhɔ ara, Samson nyanee, twee akurokurowa no yii ne tinwi no fii ntama bamma no mu.
15 Awo Derira n’amugamba nti, “Oyinza otya okugamba nti onjagala, ate ng’omutima gwo teguli nange? Gino emirundi esatu onduulidde, n’otontegeeza amaanyi go amangi mwe gasibuka.”
Delila sɔm nʼano kae se, “Wutumi ka sɛ wodɔ me, wɔ bere a wonka wo kokoamsɛm nkyerɛ me? Woadi me ho fɛw mprɛnsa, nanso wonkaa nea ɛma wo ahoɔden no nkyerɛɛ me ɛ!”
16 Bw’atyo omukazi n’amusendasendanga n’ebigambo bye ennaku zonna ng’amubuuza okutuusa lwe yamwetamwa.
Oguan ne ho adekyee biara kosii sɛ afei na ne ho guan no.
17 Awo Samusooni n’amubuulira ebyali ku mutima gwe byonna. N’amugamba nti, “Simwebwangako nviiri, kubanga ndi muwonge eri Katonda okuva mu lubuto lwa mmange. Bwe mwebwako enviiri, olwo amaanyi gange gananvaako, ne nnafuwa, ne mbeera ng’omuntu omulala yenna.”
Ne korakora no, Samson kaa nʼahintasɛm kyerɛɛ no se, “Wonyii me tinwi da, efisɛ wɔde me maa Onyankopɔn sɛ Nasareni fi awo mu. Sɛ woyi me tinwi a, mʼahoɔden no befi me mu ama mayɛ mmerɛw te sɛ obiara.”
18 Awo Derira bwe yalaba ng’amutegeezezza byonna ebyali ku mutima gwe, n’atumira abakulembeze b’Abafirisuuti ng’agamba nti, “Mukomeewo omulundi guno gwokka, kubanga yantegeezezza ebiri mu mutima gwe byonna.” Awo Abafirisuuti ne bakomawo nga baleese ezaabu.
Delila huu sɛ afei de waka nokware akyerɛ no no, ɔsoma kɔfrɛɛ Filistifo ntuanofo no se, “Mommra bio, efisɛ waka biribiara akyerɛ me.” Enti Filistifo ntuanofo no san wɔn akyi kɔfaa sika no bae.
19 N’amwebasa ku maviivi ge, n’ayita omusajja n’amumwa emivumbo omusanvu egyali ku mutwe gwe, n’atandika okujeeza, amaanyi ge ne gamuvaako.
Delila dɛfɛdɛfɛ Samson ma ɔdae a, ne ti da ne srɛ so. Ɔfrɛɛ ɔbarima bi ba ma obeyii ne tinwi sɛnea ne kyere no bɛyɛ yiye. Na nʼahoɔden no fii ne mu.
20 N’amukoowoola ng’agamba nti, “Samusooni, Abafirisuuti bakuguddeko.” N’agolokoka okuva mu tulo ng’agamba nti, “Nzija kwetakkuluza ŋŋende nga bulijjo.” Naye teyamanya nga Mukama Katonda amulese.
Afei, ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Samson! Filistifo no aba rebɛkyere wo!” Onyan no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Mɛyɛ sɛnea kan no na meyɛ no; mɛwosow me ho agye me ho.” Nanso na onnim sɛ Awurade afi ne mu.
21 Awo Abafirisuuti ne bakwata Samusooni, ne bamuggyamu amaaso, ne bamuserengesa e Gaza nga musibe mu njegere ez’ekikomo, ne bamuteeka mu kkomera mu nnyumba omuseerebwa obuwunga.
Na Filistifo no kyeree no, tutuu nʼani. Wɔde no kɔɔ Gasa na woguu no kɔbere mfrafrae mpokyerɛ ma ɔyam atoko wɔ afiase.
22 Kyokka bwe yamala okumwebwa, enviiri ze ne zitandika okumera.
Nanso ankyɛ na ne tinwi no fii ase fuwii.
23 Awo abakulembeze b’Abafirisuuti ne bakuŋŋaana okuwaayo ssaddaaka eri lubaale waabwe Dagoni, nga bwe basanyuka. Ne boogera nti, “Lubaale waffe agabudde Samusooni omulabe waffe mu mukono gwaffe.”
Filistifo ntuanofo no hyɛɛ fa kɛse bi, bɔɔ afɔre maa wɔn nyame Dagon dii ahurusi kae se, “Yɛn nyame de Samson a ɔyɛ yɛn tamfo no ahyɛ yɛn nsam!”
24 Abantu bwe baalaba Samusooni, ne batendereza lubaale waabwe nga bwe boogera nti, “Lubaale waffe agabudde omulabe waffe mu mukono gwaffe, oyo eyazikiriza ensi yaffe, n’atta bangi ku ffe.”
Bere a nnipa no huu no no, wɔkamfoo wɔn nyame kae se, “Yɛn nyame de yɛn tamfo ahyɛ yɛn nsam; nea okunkum yɛn mu bebree no, yɛn nsa aka no!”
25 Awo bwe baasanyuka ennyo, ne bawowoggana nga bwe bagamba nti, “Mutuyitire Samusooni atusanyuseemu.” Ne baleeta Samusooni abasanyuseemu, nga bamuggya mu kkomera. Ne bamuyimiriza wakati w’empagi.
Nnipa no bow nsa kakra no, wɔhyɛɛ sɛ, “Momfa Samson mmra na ommegye yɛn ani.” Enti woyii Samson fii afiaase. Wɔde no gyinaa asɔredan no mfimfini wɔ adum abien a ekura ɔdan no nkuruso no ntam.
26 Awo Samusooni n’agamba omuweereza eyali amukutte ku mukono nti, “Leka nkwate ku mpagi eziwaniridde essabo, nsobole okuzeesigama.”
Samson ka kyerɛɛ ɔsomfo a okura ne nsa rekyerɛ no kwan no se, “Ma memfa me nsa nsuso adum abien no mu, na minnye mʼahome.”
27 Mu ssabo mwalimu ekibiina kinene eky’abasajja n’abakazi nga mulimu n’abakulembeze bonna ab’Abafirisuuti. Ne waggulu ku kasolya kwaliko abantu ng’enkumi ssatu abaali batunuulira Samusooni ng’abasanyusaamu.
Na nnipa ahyɛ hyiadan mu hɔ ma tɔ. Filistifo ntuanofo no nyinaa wɔ hɔ bi. Na ɔdan no so nkuruso no nso na mmarima ne mmea bɛyɛ mpensa wɔ so a wɔrehwɛ Samson na wɔredi ne ho fɛw.
28 Awo Samusooni n’asaba eri Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda onzijukire kaakano, ompe amaanyi. Omulundi guno gwokka, ayi Katonda mpalane eggwanga ku Bafirisuuti olw’amaaso gange abiri.”
Na Samson su frɛɛ Awurade se, “Otumfo Awurade, kae me bio. Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo ma me ahoɔden bio na mintua Filistifo so ka wɔ mʼani a wɔatutu no ho.”
29 Samusooni n’akwata empagi zombi ezaali wakati mu ssabo we yali ayimiridde, n’azeesigamako, omukono gwe ogwa ddyo nga guli ku mpagi emu, n’omukono ogwa kkono nga guli ku ndala.
Afei Samson susoo adum abien a ɛwɔ hyiadan no mfimfini no mu. Ɔde nʼahoɔden nyinaa piae.
30 Samusooni n’ayogera nti, “Leka nfiire wamu n’Abafirisuuti.” N’asindika n’amaanyi ge gonna, essabo ne ligwa ku bakulembeze, n’abantu bonna abaalimu naye, era n’atta bangi mu kufa kwe okusinga ne be yatta nga mulamu.
Samson bɔɔ mpae se, “Ma me ne Filistifo no nwu.” Na hyiadan no dwiriw guu Filistifo ntuanofo no ne nnipa no nyinaa so. Enti okum nnipa bebree sen dodow a okum wɔn bere a na ɔte ase no.
31 Awo baganda be n’ennyumba yonna eya kitaawe ne bagenda ne baggyayo omulambo gwe, ne bagutwala ewaabwe, ne bamuziika mu ntaana ya kitaawe Manowa eyali wakati w’e Zola ne Esutaoli. Yali akulembedde Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi abiri.
Akyiri no, ne nuabarimanom ne nʼabusuafo a wɔaka kɔfaa no. Wɔde no kɔɔ ne kurom kosiee no wɔ Sora ne Estaol ntam, faako a wosiee nʼagya Manoa hɔ. Samson dii Israelfo so sɛ otemmufo mfe aduonu.
