Hagi Samsoni'ene nerera'ene nefa'enema Timna vunaku nevu'za, waini hozama me'nea tava'onte azageno, mago laionimo'a amprinaku krafa huno e'ne.
6 Umoya kaThixo wafika kuye ngamandla wasidabula ngezandla zakhe njengayengakwenza edabula izinyane lembuzi. Kodwa uyise lonina kabatshelanga ayekwenzile.
Ana'ma higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a ame huno himamu hanavea Samsonina amigeno, azampina mago zana e'ori'neanagi ame' huno meme afu anenta aheno rutagana vazitreankna huno ana laionia aheno eritagna vazitre'ne. Hianagi ana'ma hiazana nererane, nefanena ozanasami'ne.
7 Emva kwalokho wahamba wayakhuluma lowesifazane lowo, wezwa emthanda.
Hagi Timna kumate'ma uhanatino'ma ana mofa'enema nanekema ome nehuno keana, ana mofa'mo'a Samsoni avurera hentofaza hu'ne.
8 Emva kwesikhathi esithile, esebuyele ukuba ayemthatha, waphambuka ukuba abone isidumbu sesilwane. Phakathi kwaso kwasekulomtshitshi wezinyosi ziloluju,
Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno, ana mofara a' avrenaku Timna kumate ete nevuno, laionima ahentegeno kasrinefina tumemo'a ana laioni avufgafina karegre nehigeno, tumerimo'a avite'negeno ome ke'ne.

Hagi ana tumerina varagofino tare azampi erineno nemeneme vu'ne. Hagi etema ne-eno'a mago'a erino nererane nefane eme zanamigeke ne'na'e. Hianagi fri'nea laionimofo avufgafinti varagofina e'noe huno ozanasami'ne.
10 Uyise wahamba ukuyabona owesifazane lowo. USamsoni wenza idili khona, njengokwakungumkhuba wezinsizwa ezithathayo.
Hagi nefa'ma vuno'ma Samsoni'ene ana a'enema aravema hana'a kema eri fatgoma nehigeno'a, zamavuzmavapima nehazaza huno Samsoni'a aravema hu kave retrotra hu'ne.
11 Ekufikeni kwakhe waphiwa abakhaphi abangamatshumi amathathu.
Hagi ana a'mofo naga'mo'za kazana hige'za 30'a nehazave huzamantege'za Samsoni'ene emani'naze.
12 USamsoni wasesithi kubo, “Lalelani ngilitshele ilibho. Lingangitshela ukuthi litshoni phakathi kwensuku eziyisikhombisa zedili, ngizalinika izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Hagi Samsoni'a anage huno ana nehazavea zamasami'ne, 7ni'a knafima kavema trohuta nesuna knafina, mago fronka ke tamasamigahunki rezaganeta kegahaze. Huama'ma hanage'na 30'a efeke zaza kukenane, 30'a knare kukenanena tamigahue.
13 Nxa lingehluleka ukungitshela ukuthi litshoni, kumele linginike izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.” Bona bathi, “Sitshele ilibho lakho. Litsho silizwe.”
Hianagi ana fronka kema huama osanazana, 30'a efeke kukenane 30'a knare kukenanena tamagra namigahaze. Anage hige'za amanage hu'naze, Tamage hananki ana fronka keka'a hugeta antahimaneno.
14 Waphendula wathi, “Kokudlayo, kwaphuma okudliwayo; kokulamandla kwaphuma okumnandi.” Behluleka ukuyitsho impendulo okwensuku ezintathu.
Anagema hazageno'a amanage hu'ne, Ne'zama tragafeno nenea zagafintira ne'za fore hu'ne. Hanki hankave zagafintira haganentake'za efore hu'ne. Hianagi 3'a zagegnamofo agu'afina ana fronka kea refko hu'za huamara hugara osu'naze.
15 Ngosuku lwesine bathi kumkaSamsoni, “Ncenga umkakho asichazele ilibho, hlezi sikutshise wena labendlu yakwenu life. Kanti usinxusele ukuzasiphanga lapha na?”
Hagi namba 4 knarera Samsoni nenarona amanage hu'za asami'naze, Negavena azeri masave hugeno fronka ke'a huama huno tasamino. Hagi ana'ma osananketa kagri'ene negafa naga'enena tevefi krefanane hugahune. Hagi tagrira tazeri tamunte omanenanku tanagra kea haketa e'nono?
16 Lapho-ke umkaSamsoni waziphosela phezu kwakhe, ebubula esithi, “Uyangizonda. Kawungithandi ngeqiniso. Unike abantu bakithi ilibho; kodwa mina kawungitshelanga ukuthi litshoni.” Yena waphendula wathi, “Angilichazanga lakubaba lomama, pho ngingalichazelani kuwe na?”
Hagi anagema hazageno'a, Samsoni nenaro'a Samsoninte vuno zavi ome neteno amanage hu'ne, Nagrira kavresra hunantenka kavesinonantane. E'ina nehunka vahe'ni'amofona fronka kea eri amara nosunka ana kemofo agafa'a nagrira onasami'nane. Anage higeno Samsoni'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra nenererane nenfanena amana fronka kemofo agafa'a ozanasami'noanki, nahanige'na kagrira kasamigahue?
17 Owesifazane lowo wakhala zonke lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa zedili. Ngakho ngosuku lwesikhombisa wamtshela, ngoba wayelokhu emphikelela. Laye-ke walichaza ilibho ebantwini bakibo.
Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ne'zama kreno neneno musema hu 7ni'a knamofo agu'afina, ana a'mo'a zavira neteno tutu huno antahige vava higeno, Samsoni'a antahi avesra nehuno, 7ni knare ana fronka kemofo agafa'a huama huno nenarona asamigeno, ete vuno ana nehazaveramina ome zamasami'ne.
18 Kwathi ilanga lingakatshoni ngosuku lwesikhombisa abantu bakulowomuzi bathi kuye, “Kuyini okumnandi kuloluju na? Kuyini okulamandla kulesilwane na?” USamsoni wathi kubo, “Aluba kalilimanga ngethokazi lami, belingeke lilichaze ilibho lami.”
Hagi ana kumapi vene'nemo'za ana nanekema nentahi'za, 7ni knarera zagemo'a uofre'nege'za Samsoninte ana nanekea eri'za e'za amanage eme hu'naze, Na'amo tumerimofo haga'a agateregeno, na'amo laionimofo hanavea agatere'ne? Anagema hazageno'a, Samsoni'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nagri a' bulimakao anentateti'ma hozama e'orizaresina fronka keni'amofo agafa'a keta eriforera osazasine.
19 UMoya kaThixo wasusehlela phezu kwakhe ngamandla. Waya e-Ashikheloni, wabulala abantu bakhona abangamatshumi amathathu, wabemuka konke ababelakho kwathi izigqoko zabo wazinika labo ababechaze ilibho lakhe. Waya endlini kayise evutha ulaka.
Hagi anante Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a himamu'ane Samsoninte egeno Askeloni kumate vuno 30'a vahe ome nezamaheno, keonke'zazimine, kukenaziminena erino fronka kema huama'ma haza vahera eme zami'ne. Ana huteno tusi arimpa nehegeno nefa nontega vu'ne.
20 UmkaSamsoni wasesendiselwa komunye wabakhaphi bakhe owayekhona edilini.
Hagi anama higeno'a, Samsoni nenarona, anama aravema hia zupama avegama hu'za mani'naza nehazavefinti mago ne'mofo avremizageno ara eri'ne.
