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 Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah 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 went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her to me for 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 said unto him his father and his mother, Is there not among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going to take a wife from the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said unto his father, This one take 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 from the Lord, that he sought but an occasion against the Philistines; and at that time the Philistines had dominion 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.
And Samson thus went down, with his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and when they were come as far as the vineyards of Timnathah, behold, a young lion came roaring toward 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 suddenly over him, and he rent him as he 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 spoke unto 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 when he returned after a time to take her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the carcass of the lion and honey likewise.
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 took it out in his hands, and went on, eating as he was going, and came to his father and mother, and he gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that out of the carcass of the lion he had taken the honey.
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, and they remained 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, I will now propound unto you a riddle; if ye can in anywise tell it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then will I give you thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments;
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 will not be able to tell it to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments. And they said unto him, Propound 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 solve the riddle in three days.
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, Persuade thy husband, that he may solve unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye invited us to impoverish us? is it not so?
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 doest but hate me, and lovest me not: that riddle hast thou propounded unto the children of my people, and me hast thou not told [the solution]. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it to my father and to my mother, and thee shall I tell it?
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 had worried him: and she told [the solution of] 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.
Then said unto him the men of the city on the seventh day before the sun was yet gone down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not ploughed 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 suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and he took their apparel, and gave the changes of garments unto the expounders of the riddle; but 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.
And Samson's wife was given to his companion who had been given him as his associate.
