Mga Hukom 15
1 Nguni't nangyari pagkatapos ng sangdaling panahon, sa panahon ng pagaani ng trigo, na dumalaw si Samson na may dalang isang anak ng kambing sa kaniyang asawa; at kaniyang sinabi, Aking papasukin ang aking asawa sa loob ng silid. Nguni't ayaw papasukin siya ng kaniyang biyanang lalake.
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer him to go in.
2 At sinabi ng kaniyang biyanang lalake, Aking tunay na inisip na iyong lubos na kinapootan siya; kaya't aking ibinigay siya sa iyong kasama: di ba ang kaniyang kapatid na bata ay maganda kay sa kaniya? Isinasamo ko sa iyo na kunin mong kahalili niya.
And her father spoke, saying, I said that you did surely hate her, and I gave her to one of your friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to you instead of her.
3 At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Ngayon ay wala akong ipagkakasala sa mga Filisteo, kung gawan ko man sila ng kasamaan.
And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
4 At yumaon si Samson at humuli ng tatlong daang zorra at kumuha ng mga sigsig at pinag-kabitkabit ang mga buntot, at nilagyan ng isang sigsig sa gitna ng pagitan ng bawa't dalawang buntot.
And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
5 At nang kaniyang masulsulan ang mga sigsig, ay kaniyang binitiwan sa nakatayong trigo ng mga Filisteo at sinunog kapuwa ang mga mangdala at ang nakatayong trigo, at gayon din ang mga olibohan.
And he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
6 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng mga Filisteo, Sinong gumawa nito? At kanilang sinabi, Si Samson na manugang ni Timnateo, sapagka't kaniyang kinuha ang asawa niya at ibinigay sa kaniyang kasama. At sumampa ang mga Filisteo, at sinunog ang babae at ang kaniyang ama.
And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Kung ginawa ninyo ang ganito ay walang pagsalang aking igaganti sa inyo; at pagkatapos ay magtitigil ako.
And Sampson said to them, Though you may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
8 At sinaktan niya sila, sa hita at sasapnan ng di kawasang pagpatay: at siya'y bumaba at tumahan sa isang guwang ng bato ng Etam.
And he struck them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and lived in a cave of the rock Etam.
9 Nang magkagayo'y nagsisampa ang mga Filisteo, at humantong sa Juda, at nagsikalat sa Lehi.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
10 At sinabi ng mga lalake sa Juda, Bakit kayo nagsisampa laban sa amin? At kanilang sinabi, Upang gapusin si Samson kung kaya't kami ay nagsisampa upang gawin sa kaniya ang gaya ng ginawa niya sa amin.
And the men of Juda said, Why are you come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
11 Nang magkagayo'y ang tatlong libong lalake sa Juda ay nagsilusong sa guwang ng bato ng Etam, at sinabi kay Samson, Hindi mo ba nalalaman na ang mga Filisteo ay nagpupuno sa atin? ano nga itong ginawa mo sa amin? At sinabi niya sa kanila, Kung paano ang ginawa nila sa akin ay gayon ang ginawa ko sa kanila.
And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Know you not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] you have done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Kami ay nagsilusong upang gapusin ka, upang maibigay ka namin sa kamay ng mga Filisteo. At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Sumumpa kayo sa akin, na hindi kayo ang dadaluhong sa akin.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind you to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 At sinalita nila sa kaniya, Hindi kundi gagapusin ka lamang namin, at ibibigay sa kanilang kamay: nguni't tunay na hindi ka namin papatayin. At kanilang ginapos siya ng dalawang bagong lubid, at iniahon mula sa bato.
And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand, and will by no means kill you: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that rock.
14 Nang siya'y dumating sa Lehi, ang mga Filisteo ay naghihiyawan samantalang sinasalubong nila siya: at ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sumakaniya, at ang mga lubid na nasa kaniyang mga bisig ay naging parang lino na nasupok sa apoy, at ang kaniyang mga tali ay nalaglag sa kaniyang mga kamay.
And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
15 At siya'y nakasumpong ng isang bagong panga ng asno, at iniunat ang kaniyang kamay, at kinuha, at ipinanakit sa isang libong lalake.
And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and struck with it a thousand men.
16 At sinabi ni Samson, Sa pamamagitan ng panga ng isang asno, ay nagkabuntonbunton, Sa pamamagitan ng panga ng isang asno ay nanakit ako ng isang libong lalake.
And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have struck a thousand men.
17 At nangyari, pagkatapos niyang makapagsalita, na kaniyang inihagis ang panga na nasa kaniyang kamay, at ang dakong yao'y tinawag na Ramath-lehi.
And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
18 At siya'y nauhaw na mainam at tumawag sa Panginoon, at sinabi, Iyong ibinigay itong dakilang kaligtasan sa kamay ng iyong lingkod: at ngayo'y mamamatay ako dahil sa uhaw at mahuhulog sa kamay ng mga hindi tuli.
And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of your servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 Nguni't binuksan ng Dios ang isang guwang na nasa Lehi, at nilabasan ng tubig yaon; at nang siya'y makainom, ang kaniyang diwa ay nanumbalik, at siya'y nabuhay: kaya't ang pangalan niyaon ay tinawag na En-haccore, na nasa Lehi hanggang sa araw na ito.
And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
20 At siya'y naghukom sa Israel sa mga kaarawan ng mga Filisteo, ng dalawang pung taon.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
