Abbootii Murtii 15
1 Ergasii yeroo qamadiin walitti qabamutti Saamsoon korma reʼee xinnaa isaa fudhatee niitii isaa ilaaluu dhaqe. Innis, “Ani daree niitii koo nan seena” jedhe. Abbaan niitii isaa garuu eeyyamuufii dide.
Now a short time after, at the time of the grain-cutting, Samson, taking with him a young goat, went to see his wife; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the bride's room. But her father would not let him go in.
2 Innis, “Ani waan ati ishee jibbiteerta jedhee dhugumaan amaneef miinjee keetti ishee heerumsiiseera; obboleettiin ishee quxisuun, ishee caalaa bareedduu mitii? Qooda sanaa ishee fudhadhu” jedheen.
And her father said, It seemed to me that you had only hate for her; so I gave her to your friend: but is not her younger sister fairer than she? so please take her in place of the other.
3 Saamsoon deebisee, “Ani yeroo kanatti yoo miidhaa kam iyyuu Filisxeemota irraan gaʼe itti hin gaafatamu” isaaniin jedhe.
Then Samson said to them, This time I will give payment in full to the Philistines, for I am going to do them great evil.
4 Kanaafuu inni achii baʼee waangota dhibba sadii qabee lama lamaan eegee isaanii walitti hidhe. Eegee lamaan lamaan isaanii irrattis guca guduunfe;
So Samson went and got three hundred foxes and some sticks of fire-wood; and he put the foxes tail to tail with a stick between every two tails;
5 ibiddas itti qabsiisee qamadii Filisxeemotaa keessatti waangota sana gad lakkise. Midhaan haamamee fi kan hin haamaminitti akkasumas iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi ejersaa guggube.
Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames.
6 Yeroo Filisxeemonni, “Eenyutu waan kana godhe?” jedhanii gaafatanitti, “Saamsoon dhirsa intala namicha Tiimnaahi sanaatu sababii niitiin isaa miinjee isaatti jalaa heerumsiifamteef waan kana godhe” jedhamee isaanitti himame. Kanaafuu Filisxeemonni ol baʼanii niitii Saamsoonii fi abbaa ishee gubanii ajjeesan.
Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his friend. So the Philistines came up and had her and her father's house burned.
7 Saamsoonis, “Erga isin akkas gootanii ani hamma haaloo koo baafadhutti isin hin dhiisu” isaaniin jedhe.
And Samson said to them, If you go on like this, truly I will take my full payment from you; and that will be the end of it.
8 Akka malees isaan dhaʼee hedduu isaanii galaafate. Ergasii gad buʼee holqa kattaa Eexaam keessa jiraate.
And he made an attack on them, driving them in uncontrolled flight, and causing great destruction; then he went away to his safe place in the crack of the rock at Etam.
9 Filisxeemonnis ol baʼanii naannoo Lehiitti faffacaʼanii Yihuudaa keessa qubatan.
Then the Philistines went and put up their tents in Judah, all round Lehi.
10 Namoonni Yihuudaas, “Isin maaliif nu waraanuuf dhuftan?” jedhanii isaan gaafatan. Isaanis deebisanii, “Nu Saamsoon hiinee waan inni nu godhe sana isa godhuuf dhufne” jedhan.
And the men of Judah said, Why have you come up against us? And they said, We have come up to take Samson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
11 Ergasiis namoonni kuma sadii Yihuudaadhaa gara holqa Eexaamitti gad buʼanii Saamsooniin, “Ati maali nu goote? Akka Filisxeemonni nu bulchan hin beektuu?” jedhan. Innis, “Ani waanuma isaan na godhan sana isaan irratti nan godhe” jedhee deebise.
Then three thousand of the men of Judah went down to the crack of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Is it not clear to you that the Philistines are our rulers? What is this you have done to us? And he said to them, I only did to them as they did to me.
12 Isaanis, “Nu si hiinee dabarsinee Filisxeemotatti si kennuuf dhufne” jedhaniin. Saamsoon immoo, “Isin mataan keessan akka na hin ajjeefne naa kakadhaa” jedhe.
Then they said to him, We have come down to take you and give you up into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Give me your oath that you will not make an attack on me yourselves.
13 Isaanis, “Tole, nu si hiinee dabarsinee harka isaaniitti si kennina malee ofii keenyaan siʼi hin ajjeefnu” jedhaniin. Kanaafuu funyoo haaraa lamaan isa hidhanii holqa keessaa isa baasan.
And they said, No; we will take you and give you up into their hands, but truly we will not put you to death. So knotting two new cords round him they took him up from the rock.
14 Yeroo inni Lehiitti dhiʼaatettis Filisxeemonni iyyaa gara isaa dhufan. Hafuurri Waaqayyoos jabinaan isa irra buʼe. Funyoon harki isaa ittiin hidhamee ture sun akka quncee talbaa kan ibidda keessa buʼee taʼe; hidhaan isaas harka isaa irraa ciccite.
And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came out, meeting him with loud cries; then the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and the cords on his arms became like grass which has been burned with fire, and the bands came falling off his hands.
15 Innis lafee haʼoo harree haaraa isaa argatee hiixatee fudhate; ittiinis dhaʼee nama kuma tokko fixe.
And taking up the mouth-bone of an ass newly dead, which he saw by chance on the earth, he put to death a thousand men with it.
16 Kana irrattis Saamsoon, “Ani lafee haʼoo harree tokkoon, wal irra isaan nan tuule; lafee haʼoo harree tokkootiin, namoota kuma tokko nan ajjeese” jedhe.
And Samson said, With a red ass's mouth-bone I have made them red with blood, with a red ass's mouth-bone I have sent destruction on a thousand men.
17 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee fixatee booddee lafee haʼoo harree sana achi darbate; iddoon sunis Raamaat Leehii jedhame.
And having said these words, he let the mouth-bone go out of his hand; so that place was named Ramath-lehi.
18 Innis sababii akka malee dheeboteef, “Ati moʼannaa guddaa akkanaa garbicha keetiif kenniteerta. Egaa ani amma dheebuudhaan duʼee harka warra dhagna hin qabatinii keessan buʼaa?” jechuudhaan Waaqayyoon waammate.
After this, he was in great need of water, and crying out to the Lord, he said, You have given this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and now need of water will be my death; and I will be given into the hands of this people who are without circumcision.
19 Waaqnis boolla Lehii keessa jiru dhoosee bishaan baase. Saamsoonis yommuu bishaan sana dhugetti humni isaa deebiʼeefii jabaate. Kanaafuu burqaan suni Een Haqoree jedhamee moggaafame. Innis hamma harʼaatti achuma Leehiitti argama.
Then God made a crack in the hollow rock in Lehi and water came out of it; and after drinking, his spirit came back to him and he was strong again; so that place was named En-hakkore; it is in Lehi to this day.
20 Saamsoon bara Filisxeemotaa keessa waggaa digdama Israaʼeloota bulche.
And he was judge of Israel in the days of the Philistines for twenty years.
