Abahluleli 15
1 Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezithile, ngesikhathi sokuvuna ingqoloyi, uSamsoni wethekelela umkakhe elezinyane lembuzi. Wathi: Kangingene kumkami endlini. Kodwa uyise kamvumelanga ukungena.
Akyiri no, awitwabere mu no, Samson faa abirekyi ba sɛ ɔde rekɔkyɛ ne yere. Ɔpɛɛ sɛ anka ɔkɔda ne nkyɛn, nanso ɔbea no agya amma no mu kwan.
2 Uyise wasesithi: Isibili ngakhuluma ukuthi usumzonda lokumzonda; ngakho ngamnika umkhaphi wakho. Umnawakhe kamuhle kulaye yini? Ngiyacela, kabe ngowakho esikhundleni sakhe.
Ɔbea no agya no kae se, “Medwenee sɛ na wotan no, ɛno nti, mede no ama ɔbarima a na odi wʼanan ase wɔ mo ayeforohyia mu no. Nanso hwɛ ne nuabea ho yɛ fɛ sen no. Ware no si anan.”
3 USamsoni wasesithi kubo: Khathesi angilacala mayelana lamaFilisti nxa ngiwenzela okubi.
Samson kae se, “Saa bere yi, obiara rentumi mmɔ me sobo wɔ biribiara a merebɛyɛ mo Filistifo ho.”
4 Ngakho uSamsoni wahamba, wabamba amakhanka angamakhulu amathathu, wathatha izihlanti, wafulathelisa umsila uqondana lomsila, wafaka isihlanti phakathi kwemisila emibili phakathi laphakathi.
Afei ofii hɔ kɔe, kɔkyeree sakraman ahaasa. Ɔkyekyeree sakraman abien abien dua bɔɔ ho, na ɔkyekyeree ogyatɛn fam dua abien biara ho.
5 Kwathi esethungele umlilo ezihlantini, wawayekela ahamba emabeleni emiyo amaFilisti, watshisa kusukela ezinqunjini zamabele kusiya emabeleni emiyo kusiya lezivinini lezihlahla zemihlwathi.
Ɔsɔɔ ogyatɛn no na ɔmaa sakraman no tuu mmirika faa Filistifo mfuw mu. Ɔhyew wɔn awi nyinaa pasaa; nea wɔahyehyɛ wɔ san so ne nea wontwae nyinaa. Ɔsɛee wɔn bobeturo ne ngonnua nyinaa.
6 AmaFilisti asesithi: Ngubani owenze lokhu? Bathi: USamsoni, umkhwenyana womThimina; ngoba uthethe umkakhe, wamnika umkhaphi wakhe. AmaFilisti asesenyuka, amtshisa yena loyise ngomlilo.
Filistifo no bisae se, “Na hena na ɔyɛɛ saa amumɔyɛ yi?” Wɔn ara buae se, “Ɛyɛ Samson efisɛ nʼase barima a ofi Timna de Samson yere ama ɔbarima a na odi ne nan ase wɔ wɔn ayeforohyia mu no aware.” Enti Filistifo no kɔkyeree ɔbea no ne nʼagya hyew wɔn ma wowuwui.
7 USamsoni wasesithi kuwo: Lanxa lenze njalo, kanti ngizaphindisela kini, emva kwalokho ngiyekele.
Samson suae se, “Esiane nea moayɛ yi nti, metua mo so ka na merennyae ara da kosi sɛ me bo bɛtɔ me yam!”
8 Wasebatshaya, umlenze phezu kwethangazi, ukubulala okukhulu. Wasesehla wahlala ebhalwini lwedwala leEtamu.
Enti ɔde abufuw kɔtow hyɛɛ Filistifo no so kunkum wɔn mu bebree. Afei, ɔkɔtenaa ɔbodan bi a ɛwɔ ɔbotan bi mu wɔ Etam.
9 AmaFilisti asesenyuka amisa inkamba koJuda, asabalala eLehi.
Filistifo no nso kyeree nsraban wɔ Yuda sɛee Lehi kurow no de tuaa ne so ka.
10 Amadoda akoJuda asesithi: Lenyukeleleni ukumelana lathi? Athi: Senyukelele ukubopha uSamsoni, ukuze senze kuye njengalokho akwenze kithi.
Yuda mmarima bisaa Filistifo no se, “Adɛn nti na motow hyɛ yɛn so saa?” Filistifo no buae se, “Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛkyere Samson. Nea ɔyɛɛ yɛn no, yɛrebetua no so ka.”
11 Kwasekusehla amadoda azinkulungwane ezintathu akoJuda aya ebhalwini lwedwala leEtamu, athi kuSamsoni: Kawazi yini ukuthi amaFilisti ayasibusa? Pho, kuyini lokhu okwenze kithi? Wasesithi kibo: Njengokwenza kwawo kimi ngenze njalo kuwo.
Enti Yudafo mpensa kɔɔ ɔbodan a ɛwɔ ɔbotan mu wɔ Etam no sɛ wɔrekɔkyere Samson. Wɔka kyerɛɛ Samson sɛ, “Wunnim sɛ Filistifo na wodi yɛn so? Dɛn na woreyɛ yɛn yi?” Nanso Samson buae wɔn se, “Nea wɔyɛɛ me no na mituaa wɔn so ka.”
12 Basebesithi kuye: Sehlele ukukubopha ukuze sikunikele esandleni samaFilisti. USamsoni wasesithi kibo: Fungani kimi ukuthi lina kaliyikungihlasela.
Nanso Yuda mmarima ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛkyekyere wo na yɛde wo akɔma Filistifo.” Samson kae se, “Monhyɛ me bɔ sɛ mo ankasa de, morenkum me.”
13 Basebekhuluma kuye bathi: Hatshi, kodwa sizakubopha lokukubopha, sikunikele esandleni sawo, kodwa oqotho kasiyikukubulala. Basebembopha ngamagoda amabili amatsha, bamenyusa edwaleni.
Wobuae se, “Yɛbɛkyekyere wo de wo akɔma Filistifo. Yɛrenkum wo.” Enti wɔde hama foforo abien guu ne so kyekyeree no papee, twee no fii ɔbotan no mu.
14 Kwathi esefikile eLehi, amaFilisti aklabalala emhlangabeza. UMoya weNkosi wasefika ngamandla phezu kwakhe, lamagoda ayesengalweni zakhe aba njengefilakisi etshiswe ngomlilo, lezibopho zakhe zancibilika zasuka ezandleni zakhe.
Samson duu Lehi no, Filistifo no bɔɔ ose. Na Awurade Honhom tumi mu ahoɔden baa Samson so. Ɔtetew ahama a egu ne nsa so no mu te sɛ nhoma nketewa bi a ogya aka, maa ne nyinaa tetew fii ne nsakɔn guu fam.
15 Wasethola umhlathi omutsha kababhemi, welula isandla sakhe wawuthatha, watshaya ngawo amadoda ayinkulungwane.
Afei, ɔmaa afurum abogye bi a na ɛda fam so de kunkum Filistifo apem.
16 USamsoni wasesithi: Ngomhlathi kababhemi, inqumbi phezu kwezinqumbi, ngomhlathi kababhemi ngitshaye amadoda ayinkulungwane.
Na Samson kae se, “Mede afurum abogye, Ahɔre wɔn sɛ siw! Mede afurum abogye, akunkum mmarima apem!”
17 Kwasekusithi eseqedile ukukhuluma wawulahla umhlathi esandleni sakhe, wayibiza leyondawo ngokuthi iRamathi-Lehi.
Na owiee kasa no, ɔtow abogye no kyenee. Na wɔtoo beae hɔ din Ramat-Lehi a ase ne Abogye bepɔw.
18 Wayesomile kakhulu, wakhala eNkosini wathi: Wena unikile lokhukukhululwa okukhulu ngesandla senceku yakho; khathesi-ke sengizakufa ngokoma, ngiwele esandleni sabangasokanga yini?
Ɛbaa sɛ osukɔm dee Samson yiye nti osu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Wonam wʼakoa ahoɔden so adi saa nkonim kɛse yi. Na enti osukɔm nkum me, na minwu wɔ saa abosonsomfo yi nsam ana?”
19 UNkulunkulu waseqhekeza igodi elaliseLehi, kwaphuma amanzi kilo. Kwathi esenathile, umoya wakhe wabuya waqaqabuka. Ngalokho wabiza ibizo lawo ngokuthi yiEni-Hakore, oseLehi kuze kube lamuhla.
Enti Awurade maa nsu pue fii tokuru bi mu wɔ Lehi asase so baabi. Na Samson nom bi no, ne ho san no. Na ɔtoo hɔ din se En-Hakore, na ɛda so wɔ Lehi de besi nnɛ.
20 Wasesahlulela uIsrayeli ensukwini zamaFilisti iminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
Samson yɛɛ Israel so temmufo mfe aduonu; bere a na Filistifo di Israel asase so no.
