Abbootii Murtii 16
1 Gaaf tokko Saamsoon gara Gaazaa iddoo itti sagaagaltuu tokko arge dhaqe. Ishee wajjin buluufis ol seene.
Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto 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 to the Gazzites, saying, Samson is come hither: and they compassed him in, and lay in wait for him all the night in the gate of the city, and held themselves quiet all the night, saying, By the time it is light in the morning will we 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; but he arose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the city-gate, and the two door-posts, and tore them away with the bolt, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mount 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 after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, 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 unto her, and said unto her, Persuade him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail over him, that we may bind him to subdue him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
6 Daliilaanis Saamsooniin, “Icciitii jabina kee guddaa sanaatii fi akka ati itti qabamtee hidhamuu dandeessu natti himi” jette.
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou canst be bound to subdue 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 unto her, If they bind me with seven moist cords which have not yet been dried, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.
8 Bulchitoonni Filisxeemotaas ergasii teepha haaraa hin gogin torba fidanii isheetti kennan; isheenis ittiin isa hiite.
And the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven moist cords which had not yet 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.
And she had men lying in wait, sitting near her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he tore the cords, as a thread of tow is torn when it toucheth the fire; and his strength was not perceived.
10 Daliilaan Saamsooniin, “Ati na gowwoomsite; na sobdes. Amma kottuu akka itti hidhamuu dandeessu natti himi” jette.
And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; now do tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou canst 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 unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that have never been used in work, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.
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 therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And the liers in wait were sitting in the chamber. But he tore 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 unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; do tell me wherewith thou canst be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest 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 unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awakened out of his sleep, and tore away the pin of the loom, with 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.
And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou deceived me, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
16 Guyyuma guyyaanis hamma lubbuun isaa jireenya jibbitutti dubbii isheetiin afaan isa gogsite.
And it came to pass, when she worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;
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 unto her, A razor hath not passed over my head; for a Nazarite of God have I been from my mother's womb; if I were shaved, my strength would depart from me, and I should become weak, and be like all other men.
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 when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once; for he hath told me all his heart. Then came the lords of the Philistines up unto 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 she called a man, and caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to subdue him, and his strength departed 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 shake myself free. But he knew not that the Lord 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 Gazzah, and bound him with fetters of copper; 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 again after it was shaved off.
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.
And the lords of the Philistines gathered themselves together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice; and they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand Samson our enemy.
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 hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, and him who hath slain so many of us.
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 heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made sport before them; and they placed 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 unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me [to go] and let me feel the pillars whereupon the house is supported, 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 there were all the lords of the Philistines; and upon the roof were about three thousand men and women, that 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 unto the Lord, and said, O Lord Eternal, remember me, I pray thee, and do thou strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged for one of my two eyes on the Philistines.
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 threw his arms around the two middle pillars upon which the house was supported, and he leaned on them, [on] one with his right hand, and [on] 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 bent [them] with might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead whom 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.
Then came down his brothers and all the house of his father, and they took him up, and carried him up, and buried him between Zor'ah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoach his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
