Mago zupa Samsoni'a Filistia vahe kumate Gaza vuno mago savri a' mani'negeno ome keno ana a'ene umase'ne.
2 Abantu beGaza batshelwa ukuthi, “USamsoni ulapha!” Ngakho indawo leyo bayihonqolozela bamcathamela ubusuku bonke esangweni ledolobho. Kabenzanga lutho ebusuku, besithi, “Sizambulala emadabukakusa.”
Hagi Gaza kumate vahe'mo'zama Samsoni'ma ana a'enema emase'ne naneke'ma nentahi'za, ana kumara avazagi kagi'za ana kumamofo kafantera kafona ante'za kenagera mani'naze. Ana kenagera ranke'nankea osu akohe'za mani'ne'za amanage hu'naze, Kafonteta mani'nesunkeno ko'matanigeno esnigeta ahegahune.
3 Kodwa uSamsoni walala lapho kwaze kwaba phakathi kwamabili kuphela. Lapho-ke wavuka wabamba izivalo zesango ledolobho, ndawonye lezinsika ezimbili, wakusiphula, umgoqo lakho konke. Wakwetshata emahlombe akhe, wakuthwalela phezu kwentaba ekhangele iHebhroni.
Hianagi Samsoni'a kenage amu'nompi otino vuno rankuma'mofo vihu kafane, kafama azeri'nea zafanena maka akasi zuzu huno afunte eri konefino Hebroni tava'onte me'nea agonafi mareri'ne.
4 Ngemva kwesikhathi, wathandana lowesifazane esiGodini saseSoreki owayethiwa nguDelila.
Hagi anama huteno'a mago'a kna evutegeno Soreki agupofi nemania a' agi'a Dilailae nehaza a' kenunu huno avesinte'ne.
5 Ababusi bamaFilistiya baya kuye bathi, “Mncenge ukuthi akutshengise imfihlo yamandla akhe amakhulu kanye lokuthi singamehlula njani ukuze simbophe simnqobe. Omunye lomunye wethu uzakupha amashekeli esiliva angamakhulu alitshumi lanye.”
Ana'ma higeno'a Filistia kumate kva vahe'mo'za ana a'te e'za amanage eme hu'naze, Samsonina inampi hanave'a me'nefi masavenke hunka revatga hugeno negasamino, inankna huta azerita anakigahumpi kasamina azerita anakimneno. Hagi e'inama hananketa magoke magokemota 1tausen 100'a silva zago kamitere hugahune.
6 Ngakho uDelila wathi kuSamsoni, “Ngitshela imfihlo yamandla akho amakhulu kanye lokuthi ungabotshwa unqotshwe njani.”
Hagi Dilaila'a amanage huno Samsonina antahige'ne. Muse hugantoanki nasamio, inampi hanaveka'a me'ne? Inankna hanageno hanaveka'a omanesige'za kazeri'za anakigahazafi nasamio?
7 USamsoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa umuntu angangibopha ngemichilo eyisikhombisa engonyiswanga, ngizakuba buthakathaka njengomuntu wonke.”
Anagema higeno'a Samsoni'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Atima negraza kasefa nofi'ma 7ni'a eri'za nagare nazante'ma anakinageno'a hankaveni'a omnesige'na, amne vahekna hugahue.
8 Ababusi bamaFilistiya basebemlethela imichilo eyisikhombisa emitsha eyayingonyiswanga, wambopha ngayo.
Anagema higeno'a Filistia kumate kva vahe'mo'za atima negraza nofira kasefa 7ni'a eri'za Dilailana eme amizageno, Samsonina agare azantera rugagi rugagi huno anakinte'ne.
9 Kwakulabantu ababecatshile endlini, wasembiza wathi kuye, “Samsoni, amaFilistiya asephezu kwakho!” Kodwa yena waqamula imichilo kalula njengesiqa sentambo lapho sisondele eduzane lelangabi. Ngakho imfihlo yamandla akhe ayazakalanga.
Ana hunteno ana a'mo'a mago'a vahera zamavareno ana nomofo agu'a hunaraginte'nefinka frakizamanteteno, amanage huno Samsoninkura hu'ne, Samsoniga Filistia vahera ama aze! Hianagi Samsoni'a ana nofira tevefima krenegeno'ma temramrama hiaza huno rukampru hutre'ne. Ana higeno hankave'ama me'neama'a ke'za eriforera osu'naze.
10 UDelila wasesithi kuSamsoni, “Udlale ngami; ungiqambele amanga. Khathesi-ke ngitshela ukuthi ungabotshwa njani.”
Hagi anante Dilaila'a amanage huno Samsonina asami'ne, Ko kagra kizazokogo ke hunantenka havige hu'nane. Hagi muse hugantoanki, inankna hu'za anaki kantegahazafi nasamio?
11 Yena wathi, “Umuntu angangibopha aqinise ngamagoda amatsha angakaze asetshenziswe, ngizakuba buthakathaka njengomuntu wonke.”
Anagema higeno'a Samsoni'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Mago'a kasefa nofinu'ma anaki antrokoma hunante'nageno'a hankaveni'a omnesige'na amne vahekna hugahue.
12 Ngakho uDelila wathatha amagoda amatsha wambopha ngawo. Eselabantu ababecatshe endlini, wambiza wathi kuye, “Samsoni, amaFilistiya asephezu kwakho!” Kodwa yena waqamula amagoda ezingalweni zakhe kungathi ayeluhali nje.
Anage higeno mago'a vahe'mo'za nompi frakiza mani'nazageno, Dilaila'a kasefa nofitami erino agare azantera anakinteteno amanage hu'ne, va'i Samsoniga, Filistia vahe'mo'za kahenaku aze, higeno'a, Samsoni'a kukena hati nofi'ma erikano hiankna huno ana nofira rukano hutre'ne.
13 UDelila wasesithi kuSamsoni, “Kuze kube khathesi ulokhu udlala ngami njalo ungiqambela amanga. Ngitshela ukuthi ungabotshwa njani.” Yena waphendula wathi, “Ungelukela izixha zenwele zami eziyisikhombisa elenjini ngosungulo zibe yisibhebhedu, ngizakuba buthakathaka njengomuntu wonke.” Ngakho kwathi eselele, uDelila wathatha izixha eziyisikhombisa ekhanda lakhe,
Anante Dilaila'a anage huno Samsonina asmi'ne, Kagra renevatga hanke'na nagazegu hue, hagi menina tamage hunka nasamio, higeno Samsoni'a huno, Kagra 7ni'a za'za nazokama erinka strini nofi'ma nezagi'za masinifi rusi nehunka nilima erinka ahentrakoma hanankeno, hanaveni'a omnena, amne vahekna hu'na manigahue.
14 wazelukela elenjini ngosungulo. Wambiza njalo wathi kuye, “Samsoni, amaFilistiya asephezu kwakho!” Wavuka ebuthongweni wadonsa isibhebhedu losungulo kanye lelembu.
Anagema higeno'a, Samsoni'ma mase'neama'agu azokara erino 7ni'a aragafa hanenteno, azoka'ma anaki nilinu eri hankavenetino amanage hu'ne, va'i Samsoniga Filistia vahe'mo'za kahenaku aze, higeno'a Samsoni'a mase'nefintira otino ana nofi'ene nilinena azokapintira eri avazu hutre'ne.
15 UDelila wasesithi, kuye, “Ungatsho njani uthi, ‘Ngiyakuthanda,’ wena ungangithembi na? Lokhu ngokwesithathu udlala ngami njalo kawungitshelanga imfihlo yamandla akho amakhulu.”
Ana'ma higeno'a Dilaila'a amanage hu'ne, Kagu'amo'ma nagri'enema omne'negenka nahigenka kavesinegantoe hunka nehane? Kagra 3'a zupa kizazokago kea hunantenka hankaveka'a inampi me'ne nagrira onasami'ne.
16 Ngokubelesela okunje wamncenga insuku zonke waze wacina esenengeka kakhulu.
Hagi Dilaila'ma maka knama anagema huva huvama higeno'a, Samsoni'a anankema antahizankura tusi avesra nehuno,
17 Ngakho wamtshela konke wathi, “Akulampuco eseyake yasetshenziswa ekhanda lami ngoba ngingumNaziri owahlukaniselwa uNkulunkulu kusukela ekuzalweni. Nxa ikhanda lami lingaphucwa, amandla ami angasuka kimi, njalo ngingaba buthakathaka njengomuntu wonke.”
anante hufra'ma nekiazana maka hufore huno Dilailana amanage huno asami'ne, Kasema nantetegati'ma e'neana nazokara taga osu'noe. Na'ankure Anumzamofo eri'za vahe manigahane huno nenrera rimpafima mani'nogeno ko huhamprinante'ne. Hagi nazoka'ma tagama hanugeno'a hankaveni'a omanesige'na amne vahekna hugahue.
18 Kwathi uDelila ebona ukuthi wayesemtshele konke, wathumela ilizwi kubabusi bamaFilistiya elithi, “Wozani futhi; usengitshele konke.” Ngakho ababusi bamaFilistiya babuyela bephethe isiliva ngezandla zabo.
Hagi Dilaila'ma kegeno'ma Samsoni'ma agu'areti'ma huama'ma huno maka oku'ama me'neazama asamigeno'a, amanage huno Filistia kva vahe'tamintega kea atregeno vu'ne. Ete mago'ane eho. Na'ankure agra hago agu'areti huno maka oku'zama'a huama huno nasami'ne. Anagema higeza Filistia kva vahe'tmimo'za zagone zamazampina eri'ne'za ete emareri'naze.
19 Kwathi esemlalisile ethangazini lakhe, wabiza umuntu ukuba aphuce izixha eziyisikhombisa zezinwele zakhe, ngakho waqalisa ukumnqoba. Amandla akhe aphela kuye.
Hagi Dilaila'a amote Samsonina azeri avukoko higeno mase'negeno, mago ne'ku higeno eazamo 7ni'a ragafa'a eme taga huno vazagetetre'ne. E'inama hutegeno'a, Dilaila'a Samsonina ata hoza nemigeno hankave'a omane'ne.
20 Wasememeza wathi, “Samsoni, amaFilistiya asephezu kwakho!” Wavuka ebuthongweni bakhe wacabanga wathi, “Ngizaphuma njengakuqala ngizikhulule.” Kodwa wayengazi ukuthi uThixo wayesemtshiyile.
Hagi Dilaila'a amanage hu'ne, va'i Samsoniga Filistia vahe'mo'za kahe'naku aze, huno'ma higeno'a, Samsoni'a mase'nefintira otino, ko'ma nehuaza hu'na ruvakanegahue huno hu'ne. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'ma agri'ma atre'no vu'nea zana ontahi'ne.
21 AmaFilistiya ambamba, amkopola amehlo asehamba laye eGaza. Esembophe ngamaketane ethusi, amupha umsebenzi wokuchola entolongweni.
Hagi ana'ma hige'za Filistia vahe'mo'za azeri'za tarega avurga reragati atrete'za avre'za Gaza kumate vu'za bronsire seni nofi'nu agare azantera anakintazageno kina nompi witi refuzafu nepeno mani'ne.
22 Kodwa inwele ekhanda lakhe zaqalisa ukukhula futhi emva kokuphucwa.
Hianagi ana azoka'ma vazagatetre'naza azokamo'a ete agafa huno hage'ne.
23 Ababusi bamaFilistiya babuthana ukuba banikele umhlatshelo omkhulu kuDagoni uNkulunkulu wabo njalo bathokoze besithi, “Unkulunkulu wethu unikele uSamsoni, isitha sethu, ezandleni zethu.”
Hagi Filistia kva vahe'mo'za emeritru hu'za Dagonie nehaza havi anumzazimirera ofa nehu'za musena hu'za amanage hu'naze, Tagri anumzantimo'a ha' vahetia Samsonina tazampi avrente hu'za hu'naze.
24 Kwathi abantu bembona, badumisa unkulunkulu wabo besithi, “Unkulunkulu wethu unikele isitha sethu ezandleni zethu, sona esachitha ilizwe lethu sabulala abanengi bethu.”
Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za Samsonima nege'za anumzazimimofo agi erisga nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Vahe'tima zamahe hana'ma nehuno mopatima eri havizama hu'nea nera Samsonina anumzantimo avreramigeno menina tagri hanavefi mani'ne.
25 Bephakathi kokuthokoza, baklabalala bathi, “Lethani uSamsoni azesilibazisa.” Ngakho uSamsoni bayambiza entolongweni, wazabadlalela. Kwathi sebemise phakathi kwezinsika,
Hagi aka tima nenazageno antahintahi zamimo'ma savari'ma hige'za amanage hu'naze, Samsonina avre atiraminkeno mago'aza huno tazeri musena hino, hu'za hazageno Samsonina kina nompintira avre atirami'za noma azeri'nea zafaramimofo amu'nompi ome antageno oti'neno mago'azana huno zamazeri musena hu'ne.
26 uSamsoni wathi encekwini eyayimbambe isandla, “Ngibeka lapho engizathinta khona izinsika ezisekele ithempeli, ukuze ngeyame kuzo.”
Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a azante'ma azeri'nea nehaza ne'kura Samsoni'a amanage hu'ne, Navrenka noma azeri'nea zafare vuge'na nazana avako hu'na namagena renti ha'neno.
27 Ithempeli laligcwele abesilisa labesifazane; bonke ababusi bamaFilistiya babekhonapho, njalo phezu kophahla kwakulabesilisa labesifazane ababephose babe zinkulungwane ezintathu bebukele uSamsoni egida.
Higeno ana nompina Filistia kva vahe'mo'zane veamo'za avite'nageno, nomofo agofetura 3 tauseni'a vea'naza mani'ne'za negazageno, Samsoni'a zamazeri musena hu'ne.
28 USamsoni wasekhuleka kuThixo esithi, “Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, ake ungikhumbule. Oh Nkulunkulu, ake ungiqinise kanye nje futhi, kuthi ngokugalela okukodwa ngiphindisele kumaFilistiya amehlo ami amabili.”
Hagi Samsoni'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka mago'ene antahinaminka hanavea namio, muse hugantoanki hankavea namige'na Filistia vahera zamahe'na navurgama reragati'nazarera nagonagea haneno.
29 USamsoni wasebamba izinsika ezimbili eziphakathi, ithempeli elaligxile kuzo. Waziqinisa ngokweyama kuzo, isandla sakhe sokudla sikwenye lesenxele sikwenye,
Hagi Samsoni'a anagema nehuno'a noma vazisga hu'nea zafararemofo amu'nompi otino azana kantigama ana zafararente rentinti nehuno,
30 uSamsoni wathi, “Kangife lamaFilistiya!” Wafuqa ngamandla akhe wonke, ithempeli lawela phezu kwababusi labantu bonke ababephakathi kwalo. Ngalokho wabulala abantu abanengi ekufeni kwakhe kulalapho esaphila.
Samsoni'a amanage hu'ne, Filistia vahe'ene frisue, huno nehuno ana zafararena hanavetino retufegeno ana nomo'a pasaru huno maka kva vahe'ene, ana nompima mani'naza vahera zamahe vagare'ne.
