Mpitsara 14
1 Nizotso mb’e Timnate t’i Simsone le nahaisake somondrara e Timnate ao, anak’ ampela’ o nte-Pilistio.
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Nimb’ aman-drae’e mb’eo re nitalily ama’e naho aman-drene’e, ty hoe: Nahatrea ampela e Timnate iraho, anak’ ampela’ o nte-Pilistio; ehe alao ho valiko.
And 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 to wife.'
3 Le hoe ty rae’e naho i rene’e tama’e, Tsy mahatrea amo anak’ ampelan-dongo’oo ndra am’ ondatiko iabio hao, te o nte-Pilisty tsy nisavareñeo ty ipaia’o valy? Le hoe t’i Simsone aman-drae’e, Alao ho ahy re fa mahafale ty troko.
Then his father and his mother said unto him: 'Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?' And Samson said unto his father: 'Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.'
4 Tsy nifohin-drae’e ndra i rene’e te Iehovà ty nipay aze hiatreàtre amo nte-Pilistio, amy te nandily Israele o nte-Pilistio tañ’ andro izay.
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5 Aa le nitrao-pizotso aman-drae’e naho i rene’e mb’e Timnate mb’eo t’i Simsone, ie avy an-tanem-bahe’ i Timnate eo, hehe ty anan-diona nitroñe mb’ ama’e mb’eo.
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 Nitotsak’ ama’e t’i Arofo’ Iehovà, le rinia’e manahake ty fandriatañe vik’ose, leo raha raike tsy tam-pità’e; fe tsy natalili’e aman-drae’e ndra an-drene’e i nanoe’ey.
And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as one would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Le nizotso mb’eo re nifanaontsy amy somondraray naho vata’e nitea’ i Simsone.
And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 Ie añe, nibalike hangalak’ aze fe nitsile hey hahaisake ty fate’ i lionay, naho naheo’e te nisamborien-drene-tantele i faten-dionay vaho aman-tantele.
And after a while he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 Kinaro’e am-pità’e le nikama t’ie nañavelo; aa ie nifanampe aman-drae’e naho i rene’e le nanjotsoa’e, f’ie tsy nitalily am’iareo te nakare’e an-karankan-diona ao.
And he scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went, and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.
10 Aa le nizotso mb’amy somondraray ty rae’e vaho nanao sabadidak’ ao t’i Simsone, amy t’ie nilili’ o ajalahio.
And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 Ie naharendrek’ aze iereo le mbe nandesañe rañetse telo-polo ila’e hitraok’ ama’e;
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 le hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo, ho taroñeko tafatoño nahareo henaneo, aa naho eo ty mahatoiñe naho mahafandrendrek’ aze amako añate’ ty fito andro’ i sabadidakey, le hatoloko anahareo ty lamba leny telopolo, miharo sarimbo telopolo.
And Samson said unto them: 'Let me now put forth a riddle unto you; if ye can declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
13 Aa ie tsy mahafitaroñe aze amako, le inahareo ro hanolotse ahy lamba leny telopolo naho sarimbo telopolo. Le hoe ty asa’ iareo ama’e: Akaro i razan-dreha’oy hijanjiña’ay.
but if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment.' And they said unto him: 'Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.'
14 Hoe re tam’ iereo, Boak’ ami’ty mpihinañe ty niakaran-kaneñe naho boak’ ami’ty maozatse ty niakara’ ty mamy. Fe tsy nahabejañe i tafatoñoy iereo añate’ ty telo andro.
And he said unto them: Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
15 Ie amy andro faha-fitoy, le nanoe’ iereo ty hoe i vali’ i Simsoney: Sigiho ty vali’o hitaroña’e i tafatoñoy tsy mone ho forototoe’ay añ’ afo irehe naho ty anjomban-drae’o; handrarak’ anay hao ty nañambara’o anay? Ie izay.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife: 'Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire; have ye called us hither to impoverish us?'
16 Aa le niharovetse amy Simsone ty vali’e, nanao ty hoe: Toe heje’o iraho naho tsy kokoa’o, amy te nitaron-drazan-drehak’ amo ana’ ondatikoo fe tsy natalili’o amako. Le hoe re tama’e, Inao, ie tsy vinolako aman-draeko ndra amy reneko, ho volañeko ama’o hao?
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said: 'Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and wilt thou not tell it me?' And he said unto her: 'Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?'
17 F’ie nirovetse añatrefa’e avao amy fito andro’ i sabadida’ iareoy, le amy fañembera’e aze, nampandrendrehe’e amy andro faha-fitoy, vaho nabora’e am’ondatio i razan-drehakey.
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 Aa le hoe o roandria’ i rovaio ama’e amy andro fahafitoy aolo’ i tsofots’ àndroy: Ino ty mamy te amo tanteleo? vaho ino ty maozatse te amo lionao? Le hoe re am’ iereo. Naho tsy hinaotsao’ areo i kiloakoy, le tsy ho nioni’ areo i tafatoñokoy.
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them: If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 Nitotsak’ ama’e amy zao ty Arofo’Iehovà, le nizotso mb’e Askelone mb’eo nanjamañe ondaty telopolo naho nikopahe’e vaho natolo’e amo nahavale i tafatoñoio o saroñeo. Nisolebotse amy zao ty haviñera’e, le nionjomb’ añ’ anjomban-drae’e mb’eo.
And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 Le natolotse amy mpiama’e nanoe’e mpandrorotsey i vali’ey.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had had for his friend.
