Abahluleli 14
1 USamsoni waya eThimina wabona intombi engumFilistiya.
Awo Samusooni n’aserengeta e Timuna n’alaba omukazi mu bawala ab’Abafirisuuti.
2 Esebuyele, wathi kuyise lonina, “Ngibone intombi engumFilistiya eThimina; ake liyengithathela yona ukuba ibe ngumkami.”
N’addayo eka, n’ategeeza kitaawe ne nnyina ng’agamba nti, “Nalabye omukazi ku bawala ab’Abafirisuuti mu Timuna. Kale mumumpasize kaakano.”
3 Uyise lonina baphendula bathi, “Kanti akulantombi eyamukelekayo yini phakathi kwezihlobo zakho loba phakathi kwabantu bonke bakithi? Usungaze uye kumaFilistiya angasokanga ukuba uthathe umfazi na?” Kodwa uSamsoni wathi kuyise, “Ngithathela yena. Nguye ongifaneleyo.”
Awo kitaawe ne nnyina ne bamugamba nti, “Tewali mukazi n’omu mu baganda bo newaakubadde mu Bantu bange gw’oyinza kuwasa, olyoke ogende ofune omukazi okuva mu Bafirisuuti abatali bakomole?” Naye Samusooni n’addamu kitaawe nti, “Mpasiza oyo kubanga ye gwe nsiimye.”
4 (Uyise lonina babengazi ukuthi lokhu kwakuvela kuThixo, owayefuna ithuba lokumelana lamaFilistiya; ngoba ngalesosikhathi ayebusa abako-Israyeli.)
Kitaawe ne nnyina tebaamanya ekyo nga kyava eri Mukama Katonda, kubanga Mukama yali anoonya ensonga ku Bafirisuuti. Mu biro ebyo Abafirisuuti be baafuganga Isirayiri.
5 USamsoni waya eThimina eloyise lonina. Bathe sebebanga ezivinini zeThimina kwathutsha ibhuklwana lesilwane libhonga liqonde yena.
Awo Samusooni ne kitaawe ne nnyina ne bagenda e Timuna. Bwe baali basemberedde ennimiro z’emizabbibu egy’omu Timuna, empologoma ento n’ewuluguma nga bw’emulumba.
6 Umoya kaThixo wafika kuye ngamandla wasidabula ngezandla zakhe njengayengakwenza edabula izinyane lembuzi. Kodwa uyise lonina kabatshelanga ayekwenzile.
Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda n’amukkako, n’ayuzaayuza empologoma n’emikono gye ng’ayuzaayuza akabuzi akato, naye n’atabaako ky’ategeeza kitaawe newaakubadde nnyina.
7 Emva kwalokho wahamba wayakhuluma lowesifazane lowo, wezwa emthanda.
Samusooni n’aserengeta n’agenda n’anyumya n’omukazi era n’amusiima.
8 Emva kwesikhathi esithile, esebuyele ukuba ayemthatha, waphambuka ukuba abone isidumbu sesilwane. Phakathi kwaso kwasekulomtshitshi wezinyosi ziloluju,
Ebbanga bwe lyayitawo, n’addayo okumuwasa, naye aba ali ku lugendo, n’akyama okulaba omulambo gw’empologoma, era laba, nga mu mulambo gw’empologoma mulimu enjuki n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
9 waluthapha ngezandla zakhe, wahamba eludla. Esefike ebazalini bakhe, wabapha olunye kodwa kabatshelanga ukuthi wayeluthaphe esidunjini sesilwane.
N’atoola ku mubisi n’engalo ze, n’atambula n’agenda. Bwe yasiŋŋaana kitaawe ne nnyina nabo n’abawaako ne balya, wabula n’atabagamba nti omubisi ogwo gwe balya aguggye mu mulambo gw’empologoma.
10 Uyise wahamba ukuyabona owesifazane lowo. USamsoni wenza idili khona, njengokwakungumkhuba wezinsizwa ezithathayo.
Awo n’aserengeta ne kitaawe eri omukazi, era Samusooni n’akolerayo embaga ng’empisa y’abawasa bwe yali.
11 Ekufikeni kwakhe waphiwa abakhaphi abangamatshumi amathathu.
Abafirisuuti bwe bajja okulaba Samusooni, ne bamuwa bannaabwe amakumi asatu okumuwerekerako.
12 USamsoni wasesithi kubo, “Lalelani ngilitshele ilibho. Lingangitshela ukuthi litshoni phakathi kwensuku eziyisikhombisa zedili, ngizalinika izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Awo Samusooni n’abagamba nti, “Kaakano ka mbakokkolere ekikokko. Bwe mulikivvuunula ennaku omusanvu ez’embaga nga tezinnaggwaako, ndibawa ebyambalo ebya linena amakumi asatu, n’emiteeko gy’engoye amakumi asatu.
13 Nxa lingehluleka ukungitshela ukuthi litshoni, kumele linginike izembatho zelineni ezingamatshumi amathathu lezigqoko ezingamatshumi amathathu.” Bona bathi, “Sitshele ilibho lakho. Litsho silizwe.”
Naye bwe kinaabalema okuddamu, muteekwa okumpa ebyambalo ebya linena amakumi asatu, n’emiteeko gy’engoye amakumi asatu.” Ne bamugamba nti, “Kokkola ekikokko kyo tukiwulire.”
14 Waphendula wathi, “Kokudlayo, kwaphuma okudliwayo; kokulamandla kwaphuma okumnandi.” Behluleka ukuyitsho impendulo okwensuku ezintathu.
N’abagamba nti, “Mu muli mwavaamu ekyokulya Mu w’amaanyi mwavaamu ekiwoomerera.” Ennaku ssatu ne ziyitawo nga bakyalemeddwa okuvvuunula ekikokko.
15 Ngosuku lwesine bathi kumkaSamsoni, “Ncenga umkakho asichazele ilibho, hlezi sikutshise wena labendlu yakwenu life. Kanti usinxusele ukuzasiphanga lapha na?”
Awo ku lunaku olwokuna ne bagamba mukazi wa Samusooni nti, “Sendasenda balo atuvvuunulire ekikokko. Bwe kitaabe bwe kityo tujja kukwokya omuliro ggwe n’ennyumba ya kitaawo. Mwatuyita kutunyaga, si bwe kiri?”
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?”
Mukazi wa Samusooni n’agenda gy’ali ng’akaaba amaziga, ng’agamba nti, “Ddala ddala onkyawa so tonjagala. Wakokkolera abasajja b’omu bantu bange ekikokko, naye n’otakivvuunula.” N’amuddamu nti, “Laba sinnakivuunulira kitange newaakubadde mmange, noolwekyo lwaki nkikuvuunulira?”
17 Owesifazane lowo wakhala zonke lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa zedili. Ngakho ngosuku lwesikhombisa wamtshela, ngoba wayelokhu emphikelela. Laye-ke walichaza ilibho ebantwini bakibo.
N’amukaabirira okumala ebbanga eryo lyonna ery’embaga, olwo n’alyoka akimuvuunulira, kubanga yamwetayirira nnyo. N’oluvannyuma omukazi n’annyonnyola abasajja b’omu bantu be ekikokko.
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.”
Awo ku lunaku olw’omusanvu enjuba nga tennagwa abasajja ab’omu kibuga ne bagamba Samusooni nti, “Kiki ekisinga omubisi gw’enjuki okuwoomerera? Kiki ekisinga empologoma amaanyi?” N’abaddamu nti, “Singa temwalimya nnyana yange, temwandivuunudde kikokko kyange.”
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.
Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda n’amukkako, n’aserengeta e Asukulooni n’atta abasajja amakumi asatu, n’abambulamu ebyambalo byabwe, engoye zaabwe n’aziwa abavvuunula ekikokko. N’anyiiga nnyo, n’ayambuka n’addayo ewa kitaawe.
20 UmkaSamsoni wasesendiselwa komunye wabakhaphi bakhe owayekhona edilini.
Mukazi wa Samusooni ne bamuwa mukwano gwe, eyabeeranga ne Samusooni.
