Abbootii Murtii 16
1 Gaaf tokko Saamsoon gara Gaazaa iddoo itti sagaagaltuu tokko arge dhaqe. Ishee wajjin buluufis ol seene.
Then went Samson to Gaza, 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 Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they encompassed [him], and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning when it is day we shall 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 arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill 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 afterward, 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 to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict 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, in what thy great strength [lieth], and with what thou mayest be bound to afflict 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 bind me with seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall 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 to her seven green withs, 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 [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.) And she said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he broke the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So 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 mayest 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 bind me fast with new ropes that never were used, then shall 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.
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. (And [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 mayest be bound. And he said to 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 to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and 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 to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart [is] not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me in what thy great strength [lieth].
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, [so] that his soul was vexed to 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.”
That he told her all his heart, and said to her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I [have been] a Nazarite to God from my birth: if I be shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.
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 disclosed to me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought 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 for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict 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 said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And 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.
But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison-house.
22 Rifeensi mataa isaa garuu erga haadamee booddee deebiʼee guddachuu jalqabe.
However the hair of his head began to grow again 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 assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
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 hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country; who slew 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 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 made them sport: 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, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars upon which the house standeth, 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 [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld 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 the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of 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 on which it was supported, of the one with his right hand, and of 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 [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] in it. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew 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 his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
