Fakamaau 15
1 Pea fuoloa siʻi ange naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu ʻoe uite, naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Samisoni ki hono uaifi ʻaki ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke u ʻalu atu ki loto fale ki hoku uaifi.” Ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe he tamai ʻoe fefine ʻo ʻikai tuku ke ʻalu kiate ia.
And it was from days in [the] days of [the] harvest of wheat and he visited Samson wife his with a kid of goats and he said let me go into wife my the chamber towards and not he permitted him father her to go.
2 Pea pehē ʻe heʻene tamai, “Naʻaku pehē moʻoni ʻeau kuo ke fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate ia ko ia naʻaku foaki ai ia ki ho kaumeʻa: ʻikai ʻoku hoihoifua hono tehina ʻiate ia?” ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke maʻu ia, ko hono fetongi.
And he said father her certainly I thought that certainly you hated her and I gave her to companion your ¿ not [is] sister her young good more than her let her belong please to you in place of her.
3 Pea pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni, te u taʻehalaia ʻi he kakai Filisitia, ka te u fai ʻae meʻa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu.”
And he said to them Samson I will be free this time from [the] Philistines for [am] about to do I with them harm.
4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Samisoni ʻo ne tauheleʻi ʻae fanga fokisi ʻe tolungeau, pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tūhulu, ʻo ne noʻotaki ʻae iku ki he iku, pea ne ʻai ʻae tūhulu ʻi loto ʻi he ongo iku.
And he went Samson and he captured three hundred foxes and he took torches and he turned tail to tail and he put a torch one between [the] two the tails in the middle.
5 Pea hili ʻene tutu ʻae tūhulu ʻaki ʻae afi, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae fanga fokisi ke ʻalu ki he uite tuʻu ʻoe kau Filisitia, pea naʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ai ʻae ngaahi ū uite, pea mo e ngaahi uite naʻe tuʻu, mo e ngoue vaine mo e ʻolive.
And he kindled fire on the torches and he sent [them] among [the] standing grain of [the] Philistines and it burned up from [the] heap of sheaves and unto [the] standing grain and unto [the] vineyard of olive tree[s].
6 Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau Filisitia, “Ko hai ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea naʻa nau pehēange ko Samisoni, ko e foha ʻi he fono ki he tangata Timinate, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene toʻo hono uaifi, ʻo ne foaki ia ki heʻene kaumeʻa. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kau Filisitia, ʻonau tutu ʻae fefine mo ʻene tamai ʻaki ʻae afi.
And they said [the] Philistines who? did he do this [thing] and they said Samson [the] son-in-law of the Timnite for he has taken wife his and he has given her to companion his and they went up [the] Philistines and they burned her and father her with fire.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fai ʻae meʻa ni, ka te u totongi kiate kimoutolu, pea hili ia pea u tuku.”
And he said to them Samson if you will do! like this that except I have avenged myself on you and after I will cease.
8 Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻakahi mo e malamalaki ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia ʻo nofo ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe makatuʻu ko ʻEtami.
And he struck them leg with thigh a defeat great and he went down and he dwelt in [the] cleft of [the] rock of Etam.
9 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hake ai ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Siuta, ʻonau nofo mafola atu ʻi Lī.
And they went up [the] Philistines and they encamped in Judah and they were spread out at Lehi.
10 Pea pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Siuta, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu pehē ai kiate kimautolu?” Pea naʻa nau talaange, “Kuo mau haʻu ke haʻi ʻa Samisoni, ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kiate kimautolu.”
And they said [the] man of Judah why? have you come up on us and they said to bind Samson we have come up to do to him just as he did to us.
11 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau tangata ʻo Siuta ʻe toko tolu afe ki he tumutumu ʻoe makatuʻu ko ʻEtami, ʻonau pehē kia Samisoni, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ko e kau pule kiate kitautolu ʻae kakai Filisitia? Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni kuo ke fai kiate kinautolu?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Hangē ko ʻenau fai kiate au, kuo pehē pe ʻeku fai ange kiate kinautolu.”
And they went down three thousand man from Judah to [the] cleft of [the] rock of Etam and they said to Samson ¿ not do you know that [are] ruling over us [the] Philistines and what? this have you done to us and he said to them just as they did to me so I have done to them.
12 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau haʻu ke haʻi koe, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻatu koe ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.” Pea pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Fuakava mai kiate au, ʻe ʻikai te mou taaʻi au ʻekimoutolu.”
And they said to him to bind you we have come down to give you in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and he said to them Samson swear to me lest you should fall! on me you.
13 Pea naʻa nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai; ka te mau haʻi koe ke maʻu, ʻo ʻatu koe ki honau nima: ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mau tāmateʻi koe.” Pea naʻa nau haʻi ʻa Samisoni ʻaki ʻae maea foʻou ʻe ua ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he funga makatuʻu.
And they said to him saying In-deed certainly we will bind you and we will give you in hand their and certainly not we will kill you and they bound him with two ropes new and they brought up him from the rock.
14 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Lī, naʻe kaila sipi kiate ia ʻae kau Filisitia: pea naʻe hoko mālohi ʻaupito ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kiate ia, pea hoko ʻae maea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻo hangē ha vavae kuo vela ʻi he afi, pea naʻe homo leva ia mei hono nima.
He [was] coming to Lehi (and [the] Philistines *L(abh)*) they shouted to meet him and it rushed on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and they became the ropes which [were] on arms his like flax which people have burned with fire and they dropped off bonds his from on hands his.
15 Pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae hui kouʻahe foʻou ʻoe ʻasi, pea ne mafao atu ʻo toʻo ia ʻi hono nima, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko afe.
And he found a jawbone of a donkey fresh and he stretched out hand his and he took it and he struck down with it a thousand man.
16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni, “Ko e hui kouʻahe ʻoe ʻasi, ʻio, ko e hui kouʻahe ʻoe ʻasi kuo u tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko afe, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu tuʻunga ʻakinautolu.”
And he said Samson with [the] jawbone of the donkey a heap two heaps with [the] jawbone of the donkey I struck down a thousand man.
17 Pea hili ʻene lea, pea pehē, naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae hui kouʻahe mei hono nima, pea ui ʻae potu ko ia ko Lama i Lī.
And it was when finished he to speak and he threw the jawbone from hand his and he called the place that Ramath Lehi.
18 Pea naʻa ne hoko ʻo fieinua lahi, pea naʻe hū ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ke tuku ʻae fakamoʻui lahi ni ki he nima ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: pea te u mate eni ʻi he fieinu, pea tō ai ki he nima ʻoe kau taʻekamu?”
And he was thirsty very and he called out to Yahweh and he said you you have given by [the] hand of servant your the victory great this and now [must] I die with thirst and I fall in [the] hand of the uncircumcised [men]?
19 Ka naʻe fahiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae potu luoluo ʻi he kouʻahe, pea naʻe tafe mei ai ʻae vai: pea hili ʻene inu, naʻe toe haʻu hono laumālie, pea fakaakeake ia: Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai hono hingoa ko Eni-Hakoa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Lī ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
And he split open God the deep hollow which [is] at Lehi and they came out from it waters and he drank and it returned spirit his and he lived there-fore - he called name its En Hakkore which [is] at Lehi until the day this.
20 Pea naʻa ne fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu.
And he judged Israel in [the] days of [the] Philistines twenty year[s].
