Xaakinnada 14
1 Markaasuu Samsoon tegey Timnaad, oo wuxuu ku arkay naag ka mid ah gabdhaha reer Falastiin.
One day Samson went to Timnah, where a young Philistine woman attracted his attention.
2 Oo intuu soo noqday ayuu aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis u sheegay; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan Timnaad ku arkay naag gabdhaha reer Falastiin ka mid ah, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed taas ii doona aan guursadee.
He went back home and told his father and mother, “A Philistine woman in Timnah caught my attention. Now get her for me because I want to marry her.”
3 Markaasay aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ku yidhaahdeen, War miyaan naagu ku jirin gabdhaha tolkaa, amase dadkayga oo dhan, oo maxaa kugu wata inaad ka guursato reer Falastiinka buuryoqabka ah? Markaasuu Samsoon aabbihiis ku yidhi, Iyada ii doon, waayo, aad bay iila wanaagsan tahay.
But his father and mother replied, “Can't you find a young woman from our tribe or from our own people? Do you have to go to the heathen Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Just get her for me, because she's the one I find her attractive.”
4 Laakiinse aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ma ay ogayn in taasu ahayd wax Rabbiga ka yimid; waayo, wuxuu doonayay sabab uu ku qabsado reer Falastiin. Oo wakhtigaas reer Falastiin ayaa xukumay reer binu Israa'iil.
(His father and mother didn't realize that this was in the Lord's plans, who was looking for an opportunity to deal with the Philistines; because at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.)
5 Markaasaa Samsoon, iyo aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, waxay tageen Timnaad, oo waxay yimaadeen beerihii canabka ahaa oo Timnaad. Oo bal eeg, waxaa isagii ku soo ciyey libaax yar.
Samson went to Timnah with his father and mother. When they passed the Timnah vineyards, all of a sudden young lion came roaring out to attack him.
6 Markaasaa Ruuxii Rabbigu aad ugu soo degay isagii, oo Samsoon wuxuu u jeexjeexay libaaxii sidii uu orgi yar u kala jeexjeexi lahaa oo kale, oo gacmihiisana waxba kuma uu haysan; laakiinse wixii uu sameeyey uma uu sheegin aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis toona.
The Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and he ripped the lion apart with his bare hands as easily as ripping apart a young goat. But he didn't tell his father or mother what he'd done. Then he went on his way.
7 Markaasuu dhaadhacay oo naagtii la hadlay; oo iyana Samsoon aad bay ula wanaagsanayd.
When Samson talked with the woman and decided she was right for him.
8 Oo wakhti yar dabadeed ayuu u soo noqday inuu kaxaysto iyadii, markaasuu ku leexday inuu arko bakhtigii libaaxa; oo bal eeg, bakhtigii libaaxa waxaa ku jiray shinni badan iyo malab.
Later on when Samson returned to marry her, he turned off the road to look for the lion's carcass. Inside the body was a swarm of bees and their honey.
9 Oo markaasuu gacmihiisii ku qaaday, oo iska tegey, isagoo cunaya intuu sii socday, markaasuu u yimid aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, oo iyagiina wuu siiyey, wayna cuneen; laakiinse iyagii uma uu sheegin inuu malabka ka soo qaaday bakhtigii libaaxa.
He scraped out some of honey into his hands and ate it as he walked. When he got back to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he didn't tell them he'd taken the honey from a lion's carcass.
10 Markaasuu aabbihiis dhaadhacay oo u yimid naagtii; oo Samsoon halkaasuu diyaafad ku sameeyey; waayo, ragga dhallinyarada ahu sidaasay yeeli jireen.
While his father went to visit the woman, Samson held a drinking party there, because this was the custom among high-class young men.
11 Oo markay isagii arkeen ayay u keeneen soddon nin si ay ula joogaan.
When the Philistine people saw him, they arranged for thirty men to accompany him.
12 Kolkaasuu Samsoon iyagii ku yidhi, Bal aan idin halxidho. Toddobada maalmood oo diyaafadda ah haddaad ii sheegi kartaan oo aad furi kartaan, waxaan idin siinayaa soddon maro, iyo soddon isku joog oo dhar ah;
“Let me pose a riddle to you,” Samson said to them. “If you can find its meaning and explain it to me during the seven days of the party, I'll give you thirty lines cloaks and thirty sets of clothes.
13 laakiinse haddaad ii sheegi weydaan, idinku waa inaad i siisaan soddon maro iyo soddon isku joog oo dhar ah. Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal sheeg halxidhkaaga, aannu maqalnee.
But if you can't explain it to me, you'll give me thirty lines cloaks and thirty sets of clothes.” “Fine,” they replied. “Let's hear your riddle!”
14 Markaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Kii wax cuni jiray ayaa cunto ka soo baxday, Kii xoogga badnaana waxaa ka soo baxay macaan. Oo iyana intii saddex maalmood ah ayay halxidhkii furi waayeen.
“Food came out of the eater, and sweetness came out of the strong,” he said. Three days later they still hadn't worked it out.
15 Oo maalintii toddobaad waxay Samsoon naagtiisii ku yidhaahdeen, Soo sasab ninkaaga si uu noogu sheego halxidhkii, yaannan adiga iyo reerka aabbahaaba dab ku gubine. Ma waxaad noogu yeedheen inaad na caydhaysaan? Sow sidaas ma aha?
On the fourth day they came to Samson's wife and told her, “Use your charms to get your husband to explain the riddle and then tell us, or we'll burn you and all your family to death. Did you bring us here just to rob us?”
16 Markaasay Samsoon naagtiisu ku hor ooyday, oo waxay isagii ku tidhi, Waxba iima aad samayn nacayb maahee, oo ima aad jeclid innaba. Dadkaygii waad halxidhay, oo iima aad sheegin. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Aabbahay iyo hooyaday toona uma aan sheegine, ma adaan kuu sheegayaa?
So Samson's wife went crying to him, saying, “You really do hate me, don't you! You don't love me at all! You have posed a riddle to my people, but haven't even explained it to me.” “So?” he replied. “I haven't even explained it to my father or mother! Why should I explain it to you?”
17 Oo toddobadii maalmoodba way ku hor ooyaysay isaga, intii ay diyaafaddoodii ka dhammaanaysay; oo waxaa dhacay maalintii toddobaad inuu iyadii u sheegay, maxaa yeelay, aad bay ugu cadaadisay; markaasay halxidhkii micnihiisii dadkeedii u sheegtay.
She cried in front of him for the whole time of the party, and eventually on the seventh day he explained it to her because she nagged him so much. Then she explained the meaning of the riddle to the Philistine young men.
18 Markaasay dadkii magaaladu isagii ku yidhaahdeen maalintii toddobaad intaan qorraxdu dhicin, Maxaa malab ka macaan? Maxaase libaax ka xoog badan? Markaasuu iyagii ku yidhi, Haddaydnan qaalintayda beerta ku falin, Halxidhkayga ma aydnaan furteen.
Before the sun set on the seventh day, the men of the town came to Samson and said, “What's sweeter than honey? What's stronger than a lion?” “If you hadn't used my cow to plough with, you wouldn't have found out the meaning of my riddle,” Samson replied.
19 Markaasuu Ruuxii Rabbigu aad ugu soo degay isaga, oo wuxuu tegey Ashqeloon, wuxuuna ka laayay soddon nin, oo intuu soo furtay ayuu dharkii siiyey kuwii halxidhkii furay. Oo markaasuu intuu aad u cadhooday ayuu reerkii aabbihiis tegey.
The Spirit of the Lord swept over him and he went to Ashkelon, killed thirty of their men, took their clothing, and gave it to those who had explained the riddle. Furiously anger, Samson went back to his father's house.
20 Laakiinse naagtii Samsoon waxaa la siiyey wehelkiis oo uu saaxiib ka dhigan jiray.
Samson's wife was given to his best man who had accompanied him at the wedding.
