Mpitsara 15
1 Ie añe, an-tsam-pamokarañe vare-bolè, te nanese vik’ ose amy vali’ey t’i Simsone; le hoe re: Te homb’ amy valiko an-traño’e añe. Fe tsy nimein-drae’e t‘ie hizilik’ ao,
But within a while after, in the time of wheate haruest, Samson visited his wife with a kid, saying, I wil go in to my wife into the chamber: but her father would not suffer him to goe in.
2 fa hoe ty rae’e: Toe nataoko t’ie niheje’o vintañe; le natoloko an-drañe’o; aa vaho tsy soa te ama’e ty zai’e? endeso hisolo aze.
And her father sayde, I thought that thou hadst hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy companion. Is not her yonger sister fayrer then shee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of the other.
3 Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo: Halio-tahiñe amo nte-Pilistio iraho henaneo, ndra t’ie hanolorako sotry.
Then Samson saide vnto them, Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistims: therefore will I doe them displeasure.
4 Aa le tsinepa’ i Simsone ty fanaloke telon-jato, naho nandrambe failo; le nifanohize’e añ’ ohi’e añ’ohi’e vaho nanoa’e failo ty añivo’ ty ohy roe.
And Samson went out, and tooke three hundreth foxes, and tooke firebrands, and turned them taile to taile, and put a firebrand in ye middes betweene two tailes.
5 Narehe’e amy zao o failoo le navotso’e amy vare nizorazora’ o nte-Pilistiooy naho fonga finorototo’ iareo o fitoboro’eo naho o nizorazorao reketse ty tanem-bahe vaho olive.
And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standing corne of the Philistims, and burnt vp both the rickes and the standing corne with the vineyardes and oliues.
6 Le hoe o nte-Pilistio, Ia ty nanao zao? le hoe iereo: I Simsone, vinanto’ i nte-Timney, amy te nalae’e ty vali’e, vaho natolo’e amy mpandroro’ey. Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao o nte-Pilistio vaho nampangotomomohe’ iereo añ’afo re naho i rae’e.
Then the Philistims sayde, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the sonne in law of the Timnite, because hee had taken his wife, and giuen her to his companion. Then the Philistims came vp and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo, Naho zao ty sata’ areo, le toe hamaleako kabò, vaho hitofa.
And Samson saide vnto them, Though yee haue done this, yet wil I be auenged of you, and then I wil cease.
8 Le linafa’e iereo an-kitsok’am-pe am-panjamanam-bey; vaho nizotso mb’ an-tevam-bato’ Etame mb’eo, nimoneñe ambone ey.
So hee smote them hippe and thigh with a mightie plague: then hee went and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam.
9 Nionjom-beo naho nitobe e Iehoda ao o nte-Pilistio vaho nivelatse niatreatre i Lehý.
Then the Philistims came vp, and pitched in Iudah, and were spred abroad in Lehi.
10 Le hoe o nte-Iehodao: Ino ty nionjona’ areo haname anay? Le hoe iereo: Ty hamahotse i Simsone ty nionjona’ay, hanoe’ay ama’e i nanoa’e ama’aiy.
And the men of Iudah sayde, Why are yee come vp vnto vs? And they answered, To binde Samson are we come vp, and to do to him as hee hath done to vs.
11 Aa le nizotso mb’ an-tevam-bato’ i Etame mb’eo ty nte-Iehoda telo-arivo vaho nanao ty hoe amy Simsone: Tsy fohi’o hao te manandily amantika o nte-Pilistio? Ino ze o nanoe’o ama’ay zao? Le hoe re: I nanoe’ iareo amakoy ty nanoeko am’ iereo.
Then three thousande men of Iudah went to the top of the rocke Etam, and sayde to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistims are rulers ouer vs? Wherefore then hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he answered them, As they did vnto me, so haue I done vnto them.
12 Le hoe iereo tama’e, Nizotso etoan-jahay hamahotse azo, hanese azo am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio. Le hoe t’i Simsone, Mifantà amako te tsy hiambotraha’ areo.
Againe they sayd vnto him, Wee are come to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the hande of the Philistims. And Samson sayde vnto them, Sweare vnto me, that yee will not fall vpon me your selues.
13 Le hoe iereo tama’e: Aiy: fa ho vihine’ay am-bahotse, le hatolo’ay am-pità’ iareo fa tsy ho vonoe’ay. Aa le vinaho’ iareo an-taly vao roe vaho nampiavote’ iareo amy vatoy,
And they answered him, saying, No, but we will bynde thee and deliuer thee vnto their hande, but we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two newe cordes, and brought him from the rocke.
14 Ie nipoteake e Lehý eo, le rinambe’ o nte-Pilistio an-koràke; aa le nivotrak’ ama’e ty Arofo’ Iehovà, naho ninjare boka niforototoeñ’ afo o taly am-pità’eo, vaho nihitsañe o tali-randrañe an-tsira’eo.
When hee came to Lehi, the Philistims shouted against him, and the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and the cordes that were vpon his armes, became as flaxe that was burnt with fire: for the bandes loosed from his handes.
15 Nahatrea taolam-balañoràm-borìke vao re, naho nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze le nanjamañe ondaty arivo,
And he found a new iawebone of an asse, and put forth his hand, and caught it, and slewe a thousand men therewith.
16 vaho hoe t’i Simsone: Amam-balañoràm-borìke, fitoboroñañe am-pitoboroñañe, valañoram-borìke ty nanjamanako ty arivo.
Then Samson sayd, With the iaw of an asse are heapes vpon heapes: with the iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men.
17 Aa naho nagado’e i saontsi’ey le nahifim-pità’e añe i valañoray vaho natao ty hoe Ramate-Lehý i toetsey.
And when he had left speaking, hee cast away the iawebone out of his hande, and called that place, Ramath-Lehi.
18 Vata’e nitaliñieren-dre henane zay, le nikanjie’e t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Fa natolo’o am-pità’ ty mpitoro’o ty fandrombahañe ra’elahy; aa vaho ho vonoe’ ty aran-drano iraho henaneo hiforetrahako am-pità’ o tsy sinavatseo?
And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and sayde, Thou hast giuen this great deliuerance into the hand of thy seruaunt: and nowe shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised?
19 Aa le tsineran’ Añahare i nangoake e Lehiy, le niakaran-drano; ie ninoñe le nibalike i arofo’ey vaho nisotrake; aa le natao En’hakorè ty ao; mbe e Lehý ao izay henanekeo.
Then God brake the cheeke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout: and when he had drunke, his Spirit came againe, and he was reuiued: wherefore the name therof is called, Enhakkore, which is in Lehi vnto this day.
20 Nizaka Israele roa-polo taoñe tañ’andro’ o nte-Pilistio re.
And hee iudged Israel in the dayes of the Philistims twentie yeeres.
