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.
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer him to 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 spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
3 Saamsoon deebisee, “Ani yeroo kanatti yoo miidhaa kam iyyuu Filisxeemota irraan gaʼe itti hin gaafatamu” isaaniin jedhe.
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
4 Kanaafuu inni achii baʼee waangota dhibba sadii qabee lama lamaan eegee isaanii walitti hidhe. Eegee lamaan lamaan isaanii irrattis guca guduunfe;
And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
5 ibiddas itti qabsiisee qamadii Filisxeemotaa keessatti waangota sana gad lakkise. Midhaan haamamee fi kan hin haamaminitti akkasumas iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi ejersaa guggube.
And he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
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.
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 Saamsoonis, “Erga isin akkas gootanii ani hamma haaloo koo baafadhutti isin hin dhiisu” isaaniin jedhe.
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
8 Akka malees isaan dhaʼee hedduu isaanii galaafate. Ergasii gad buʼee holqa kattaa Eexaam keessa jiraate.
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 Filisxeemonnis ol baʼanii naannoo Lehiitti faffacaʼanii Yihuudaa keessa qubatan.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
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 Juda said, Why are you come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, 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.
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 Isaanis, “Nu si hiinee dabarsinee Filisxeemotatti si kennuuf dhufne” jedhaniin. Saamsoon immoo, “Isin mataan keessan akka na hin ajjeefne naa kakadhaa” jedhe.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon 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 spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that 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 they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
15 Innis lafee haʼoo harree haaraa isaa argatee hiixatee fudhate; ittiinis dhaʼee nama kuma tokko fixe.
And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
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 Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have struck a thousand men.
17 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee fixatee booddee lafee haʼoo harree sana achi darbate; iddoon sunis Raamaat Leehii jedhame.
And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
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.
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
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.
And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
20 Saamsoon bara Filisxeemotaa keessa waggaa digdama Israaʼeloota bulche.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
