Abbootii Murtii 14
1 Saamsoon gara Tiimnaahitti gad buʼee durba Filisxeem tokko achitti arge.
And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Yommuu achii deebiʼettis abbaa fi haadha isaatiin, “Ani Tiimnaahitti intala Filisxeem tokko argeeraatii na fuusisaa” jedhe.
And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her for me as wife.
3 Abbaa fi haatii isaa deebisanii, “Wanni akka ati Filisxeemota dhagna hin qabanne keessaa niitii fuutu si godhu firoota kee keessaa yookaan saba keenya hunda keessaa dubartiin dhabamteetii?” jedhaniin. Saamsoon garuu abbaa isaatiin, “Isheetu naa taʼaatii ishuma naa fidi” jedhe.
And his father and his mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father, Take her for me, for she pleases me well.
4 Abbaa fi haatii isaa akka wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe hin beekne; Waaqayyo karaa ittiin Filisxeemota dhaʼu barbaadaa tureetii. Yeroo sanatti Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota gad qabanii bulchaa turan.
And his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
5 Saamsoon abbaa isaatii fi haadha isaa wajjin gara Tiimnaahitti gad buʼe. Akkuma isaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Tiimnaahi bira gaʼaniinis leenci saafelli tokko ittanaa isatti dhufe.
And Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and they came to the vineyards of Timnathah. And behold, a young lion roared against him;
6 Hafuurri Waaqayyoos jabinaan Saamsoon irra buʼe; innis homaa of harkaa qabaachuu baatu illee akkuma nama ilmoo reʼee tokko cicciruutti leenca saafela sana ciccire. Garuu waan hojjete sana abbaa fi haadha isaatti hin himne.
and the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he rent it as one rends a kid, and nothing was in his hand. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Ergasii gad buʼee dubartittii wajjin haasaʼe; isheenis ija isaatti tolte.
And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 Innis yeroo gabaabaa booddee yommuu ishee fuudhuuf achi deebiʼetti raqa leenca sanaa ilaaluuf of irra gara gale. Raqa leencichaa keessas tuunni kanniisaa guutee damma dammeessee ture;
And he returned after a time to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, [there was] a swarm of bees in the carcase of the lion, and honey;
9 dammichas harka isaatti fudhatee nyaachaa karaa isaa itti fufe. Yommuu gara abbaa fi haadha isaa dhufettis damma sana irraa isaaniif kenne; isaanis ni nyaatan. Inni garuu akka damma sana raqa leencaa keessaa fuudhe isaanitti hin himne.
and he took it out in his hands, and went on, and ate as he went. And he came to his father and to his mother, and gave them, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10 Ergasii abbaan isaa intalattii ilaaluuf gad buʼe; Saamsoon akkuma dargaggoonni yeroo fuudhanitti cidha godhatan sana achitti cidha qopheesse.
And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 Yommuu inni achi dhiʼaatettis isa arganii amaamota soddoma isaaf kennan.
And it came to pass when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they were with him.
12 Saamsoonis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani hibboo tokko isinitti nan hima; yoo isin guyyoota cidhichaa torban keessatti hiikkaa isaa argattan, ani wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame soddomaa fi uffata kittii soddoma isiniifin kenna.
And Samson said to them, Let me now propound a riddle to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments.
13 Isin yoo hiikkaa isaa natti himuu dadhabdan wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame soddomaa fi uffata kittii soddoma naa kennitu.” Isaanis, “Hibboo kee ni dhageenyaa nutti hima” jedhan.
But if ye cannot explain [it] to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments. And they said to him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 Innis deebisee, “Kan nyaatu keessaa wanni nyaatamu, jabaa keessaa immoo wanni miʼaawu baʼe” isaaniin jedhe. Isaanis hamma guyyaa sadiitti hibboo sana hiikuu hin dandeenye ture.
And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days explain the riddle.
15 Isaanis guyyaa afuraffaatti niitii Saamsooniin, “Akka dhirsi kee hiikkaa hibboo kanaa nutti himuuf mee nuu kadhadhu; yoo kanaa achii nu siʼii fi mana abbaa keetii ibiddaan gubnaa. Ati nu saamuuf asitti nu waamtee?” jedhaniin.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye invited us to impoverish us, — is it not [so]?
16 Niitiin Saamsoonis fuula isaa duratti booʼaa “Ati na jibbiteerta! Ati dhugumaan na hin jaallattu. Ati saba koo hibboo gaafatteerta; garuu hiikkaa isaa natti hin himne” jetteen. Innis deebisee, “Ani abbaa koottii fi haadha kootti iyyuu hin himne; egaa ani sitti himuu qabaa?” jedheen.
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddle to the children of my people, and hast not explained it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my father nor my mother, and shall I explain it to thee?
17 Isheenis guyyaa cidha sanaa torbanuu boottee isa rakkifte; innis sababii isheen ittuma fuftee boqonnaa isa dhowwiteef guyyaa torbaffaatti hiikkaa isaa isheetti hime. Isheen immoo hiikkaa hibboo sanaa saba isheetti himte.
And she wept before him the seven days, while they had the feast. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddle to the children of her people.
18 Namoonni magaalaa sanaas guyyaa torbaffaatti utuu biiftuun hin lixin, “Wanni damma caalaa miʼaawu maali? Jabaan leenca caalu maali?” jedhaniin. Saamsoonis, “Utuu raada kootiin qotachuu baattanii, isin silaa hibboo koo hin hiiktan ture” jedheen.
And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey, And what stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.
19 Kana irratti Hafuurri Waaqayyoo jabinaan isa irra buʼe. Innis gara Ashqaloonitti gad buʼee namoota magaalaa keessaa soddoma ajjeese; waan isaan qabanis irraa fudhatee namoota hibboo sana hiikaniif uffata kittii kenne. Aariidhaanis gubachaa gara mana abbaa isaatti deebiʼe.
And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of garments unto them that explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 Niitii Saamsoonis miinjee isaatti heerumsiisan.
And Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had made his friend.
