Abbootii Murtii 16
1 Gaaf tokko Saamsoon gara Gaazaa iddoo itti sagaagaltuu tokko arge dhaqe. Ishee wajjin buluufis ol seene.
And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
2 Namoota Gaazaattis, “Saamsoon as jira!” jedhamee himame. Kanaafuu isaan naannoo sana marsanii halkan guutuu riphanii karra magaalattii irratti isa eeggatan. Isaanis, “Ganama barii isa ajjeefna” jedhanii halkan sana utuu hin sochoʼin bulan.
[And it was told] the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they surrounded [him], and laid wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning light we will kill him.
3 Saamsoon garuu hamma walakkaa halkaniitti achi rafe. Ergasii kaʼee cufaawwan karra magaalattii michichila lama wajjin, danqaraa isaatii fi waan hunda buqqise. Ol fuudhees gatiittii isatti baachuudhaan gara fiixee gaara fuullee Kebroonitti ol baʼe.
And Samson lay till midnight; and he arose at midnight, and seized the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and tore them up with the bar, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
4 Yeroo muraasa booddee Saamsoon jaalala dubartii sulula Sooreeq keessa jiraattu tokkootiin qabame; maqaan ishees Daliilaa jedhama ture.
And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaas gara ishee dhaqanii, “Akka nu hiinee isa miidhuu dandeenyuuf, akka inni icciitii jabina isaa guddaa kanaatii fi akka nu itti isa moʼachuu dandeenyu sitti himuuf isa sossobi. Tokkoon tokkoon keenyas meetii kuma tokkoo fi dhibba tokko siif kenninaa” jedhaniin.
And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces.
6 Daliilaanis Saamsooniin, “Icciitii jabina kee guddaa sanaatii fi akka ati itti qabamtee hidhamuu dandeessu natti himi” jette.
Then Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what is thy great strength, and with what thou mightest be bound to overpower thee.
7 Saamsoon immoo deebisee, “Yoo namni kam iyyuu teepha haaraa hin gogin torbaan na hidhe, ani akkuma nama biraa kam iyyuu dadhabaa nan taʼa” jedheen.
And Samson said to her, If they should bind me with seven fresh cords which have not been dried, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaas ergasii teepha haaraa hin gogin torba fidanii isheetti kennan; isheenis ittiin isa hiite.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Isheen gola keessatti namoota dhoksitee, “Saamsoon, Filisxeemonni sitti dhufan!” jetteen. Inni garuu teephawwan sana akkuma ribuun yommuu ibidda bira gaʼu baqutti rakkina malee of irraa kukkute. Kanaafuu icciitiin jabina isaa hin beekamne.
Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known.
10 Daliilaan Saamsooniin, “Ati na gowwoomsite; na sobdes. Amma kottuu akka itti hidhamuu dandeessu natti himi” jette.
And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mightest be bound.
11 Innis, “Yoo namni kam iyyuu funyoo haaraa namni itti hin fayyadaminiin na hidhe, ani akkuma nama biraa kamii iyyuu dadhabaa nan taʼa” jedheen.
And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes, with which no work has been done, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Kanaafuu Daliilaan funyoo haaraa fuutee ittiin isa hiite. Namootas golla keessatti dhoksitee, “Saamsoon, Filisxeemonni sitti dhufan!” jetteen. Inni garuu funyoowwan sana akkuma kirriitti harka ofii irraa kukkute.
And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
13 Daliilaanis Saamsooniin, “Ati hamma ammaatti na gowwoomsiteerta; na sobdeertas. Akka itti hidhamu dandeessu natti himi” jette. Innis, “Yoo ati guduruu mataa koo torban walitti footee qofootti na hiite, ani akkuma nama biraa kamii iyyuu dadhabaa nan taʼa” isheen jedhe. Daliilaanis utuu inni rafuu guduruu mataa isaa torban walitti footee,
And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 qofootti isa hiite. Ammas isa waamtee, “Saamsoon, Filisxeemonni sitti dhufan!” jette. Inni garuu hirribaa kaʼee qofoo sana guduruu mataa isaa wajjin buqqise.
And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web.
15 Isheenis, “Ati utuu na hin amanin akkamitti, ‘Ani si jaalladha’ naan jetta? Utuu icciitii jabina kee guddaa sanaa natti hin himin, ati na sobuun kee kun yeroo sadaffaa dha” jetteen.
Then she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou mocked me, and hast not told me in what is thy great strength.
16 Guyyuma guyyaanis hamma lubbuun isaa jireenya jibbitutti dubbii isheetiin afaan isa gogsite.
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 Kanaafuu inni waan hunda isheetti hime. Akkanas jedheen; “Sababii ani gaafuma dhaladhee jalqabee Naaziricha taʼee Waaqaaf addaan baafameef qarabaan takkumaa mataa koo tuqee hin beeku. Yoo mataan koo haadame garuu jabinni koo narraa badee anis akkuma nama biraa kamii iyyuu dadhabaa nan taʼa.”
and he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I am a Nazarite of God from my mother's womb; if I should be shaven, then my strength would go from me, and I should be weak, and be like all mankind.
18 Daliilaanis yommuu akka inni waan hunda isheetti hime hubattetti, “Inni waan hunda natti himeeraatii mee deebiʼaa kottaa” jettee bulchitoota Filisxeemotaatti ergaa ergite. Kanaafuu bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa harka isaaniitti meetii qabatanii gara ishee dhufan.
And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
19 Akka inni gudeeda ishee irra ciisu gootee nama tokko waamtee guduruu mataa isaa torban irraa haadchisiifte. Isheenis akka malee isa rakkisuu jalqabde. Jabinni isaas isa irraa bade.
And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him.
20 Isheenis, “Saamsoon, Filisxeemonni sitti dhufan!” jetteen. Innis hirribaa kaʼee, “Ani akkuma yeroo kaanii gad baʼee of irraa harcaasa” jedhe. Garuu akka Waaqayyo isa dhiisee deeme hin beekne ture.
And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him.
21 Ergasii Filisxeemonni isa qabanii ija isaa keessaa baasanii gara Gaazaatti isa geessan. Foncaa naasiitiin isa hidhaniis mana hidhaa keessatti daaktuu midhaanii isa godhan.
And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house.
22 Rifeensi mataa isaa garuu erga haadamee booddee deebiʼee guddachuu jalqabe.
But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
23 Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa, “Waaqni keenya, Saamsoon diina keenya sana dabarsee harka keenyatti nuu kenneera” jedhanii gammaduudhaan Daagon Waaqa isaaniitiif aarsaa guddaa dhiʼeessuuf walitti qabamanii turan.
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.
24 Namoonnis yeroo isa arganitti Waaqa isaanii galateeffachaa, “Waaqni keenya, diina keenya kan biyya keenya balleesse, kan nama baayʼee nu duraa ajjeese sana dabarsee nuu kenneera” jedhan.
And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain.
25 Isaanis utuma garaan isaanii gammadaa jiruu, “Akka inni nu bashannansiisuuf mee Saamsoonin waamaa” jedhan. Kanaafuu Saamsoonin mana hidhaatii waamanii fidan; innis isaan bashannansiise. Yommuu isaan utubaawwan gurguddaa gidduu isa dhaabachiisanitti,
And it came to pass when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they set him between the pillars.
26 Saamsoon tajaajilaa harka isaa qabee ture sanaan, “Akka ani itti irkadhuuf gara utubaawwan mana sagadaa kana qabanii dhaabaniitti na dhiʼeessi” jedhe.
And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Let loose of me, and suffer me to feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
27 Manni sagadaa sun dhiiraa dubartiin guutamee ture; bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaa hundinuus achi turan; Saamsoonii tapha argisiisu ilaaluuf jedhanii namoonni kuma sadii bantii manichaa irra turan.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.
28 Saamsoonis akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, na yaadadhu. Yaa Waaqi, akka ani ija koo lamaaniif Filisxeemota haaloo baafadhuuf yeroo tokko jabina naa kenni.”
And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may take one vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 Saamsoonis ergasii utubaawwan gurguddaa lamaan kanneen walakkaa mana sagadaa sanaa dhaabatanii mana sana baatanitti hiixatee tokko harka isaa mirgaatiin, kaan immoo harka isaa bitaatiin qabatee,
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood (and he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and the other with his left.
30 “Ani Filisxeemota wajjin duʼa!” jedhee humna qabu hundaan dhiibe; manichi sagadaas bulchitootaa fi namoota achi keessa turan hunda irratti jige. Kanaafuu namoonni inni yeroo duʼa isaatti ajjeese kanneen inni yeroo jireenya isaatti ajjeese caalaa baayʼee turan.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself with might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.
31 Obboloonni isaatii fi maatiin abbaa isaa hundinuu reeffa isaa fuudhuu gad buʼan. Isaanis isa fidanii Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼol gidduutti iddoo awwaala abbaa isaa kan Maanoʼaa keessatti isa awwaalan. Inni waggaa digdama Israaʼelin bulche.
And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
