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, and she was right in his eyes.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Ruach 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 Le nizotso mb’eo re nifanaontsy amy somondraray naho vata’e nitea’ i Simsone.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
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.
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 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.
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 Aa le nizotso mb’amy somondraray ty rae’e vaho nanao sabadidak’ ao t’i Simsone, amy t’ie nilili’ o ajalahio.
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
11 Ie naharendrek’ aze iereo le mbe nandesañe rañetse telo-polo ila’e hitraok’ ama’e;
It happened, 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
The Ruach 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 Le natolotse amy mpiama’e nanoe’e mpandrorotsey i vali’ey.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
