< 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 it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go 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 said, I truly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray you, instead of her.
3 Aa hoe t’i Simsone am’ iereo: Halio-tahiñe amo nte-Pilistio iraho henaneo, ndra t’ie hanolorako sotry.
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a 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 and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the middle between two tails.
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 brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
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 Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, 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 said to them, Though you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will 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.
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelled in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Nionjom-beo naho nitobe e Iehoda ao o nte-Pilistio vaho nivelatse niatreatre i Lehý.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves 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 Judah said, Why are you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
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 thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to 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.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that you will not fall on me yourselves.
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 spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
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.
And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily on him, and the cords that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 Nahatrea taolam-balañoràm-borìke vao re, naho nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze le nanjamañe ondaty arivo,
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 vaho hoe t’i Simsone: Amam-balañoràm-borìke, fitoboroñañe am-pitoboroñañe, valañoram-borìke ty nanjamanako ty arivo.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps on heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain 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 it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
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 thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
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.
But God split an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of there; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: why he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
20 Nizaka Israele roa-polo taoñe tañ’andro’ o nte-Pilistio re.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
