Abbootii Murtii 16
1 Gaaf tokko Saamsoon gara Gaazaa iddoo itti sagaagaltuu tokko arge dhaqe. Ishee wajjin buluufis ol seene.
Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, 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.
The Gazites were told, “Samson is here!” They surrounded him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, “Wait until morning light; then 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.
Samson lay until midnight, then arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on 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.
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.
The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”
6 Daliilaanis Saamsooniin, “Icciitii jabina kee guddaa sanaatii fi akka ati itti qabamtee hidhamuu dandeessu natti himi” jette.
Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”
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.
Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become 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 green 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 an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches 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.
Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might 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.
He said to her, “If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become 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.
So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, then said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them 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,
Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”
14 qofootti isa hiite. Ammas isa waamtee, “Saamsoon, Filisxeemonni sitti dhufan!” jette. Inni garuu hirribaa kaʼee qofoo sana guduruu mataa isaa wajjin buqqise.
She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.
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.
She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”
16 Guyyuma guyyaanis hamma lubbuun isaa jireenya jibbitutti dubbii isheetiin afaan isa gogsite.
When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled 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.”
He told her all his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will 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.
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 has told me all his heart.” Then 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.
She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man and shaved 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.
She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He awoke out of his sleep, and said, “I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that Yahweh 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.
The Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
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.
The lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, “Our god has 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.
When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, “Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand.”
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,
When their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may entertain us.” They called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. 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 boy who held him by the hand, “Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on 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 on the roof about three thousand men and women, who saw while Samson performed.
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.”
Samson called to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, 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,
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested and leaned on 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.
Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed 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 brothers 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 burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
