Judges 14
1 Nígbà kan Samsoni gòkè lọ sí Timna níbẹ̀ ni ó ti rí ọmọbìnrin Filistini kan.
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Nígbà tí ó darí dé, ó sọ fún àwọn òbí rẹ̀ pé, “Mo rí obìnrin Filistini kan ní Timna: báyìí ẹ fẹ́ ẹ fún mi bí aya mi.”
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 Baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Ṣé kò sí obìnrin tí ó dára tí ó sì tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn ní àárín àwọn ìbátan rẹ, tàbí láàrín gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wa? Ṣé ó di dandan fún ọ láti lọ sí àárín àwọn Filistini aláìkọlà kí o tó fẹ́ ìyàwó?” Ṣùgbọ́n Samsoni wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Fẹ́ ẹ fún mi torí pé inú mi yọ́ sí i púpọ̀púpọ̀.”
Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brothers, or among all my people, that thou go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she pleases me well.
4 (Àwọn òbí rẹ̀ kò mọ̀ pé ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ni nǹkan yìí ti wá, ẹni tí ń wá ọ̀nà àti bá Filistini jà; nítorí àwọn ni ń ṣe àkóso Israẹli ní àkókò náà.)
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah, for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5 Samsoni sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Timna òun àti baba àti ìyá rẹ̀. Bí wọ́n ṣe ń súnmọ́ àwọn ọgbà àjàrà tí ó wà ní Timna, láìròtẹ́lẹ̀, ọ̀dọ́ kìnnìún kan jáde síta tí ń ké ramúramù bọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀.
Then Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. And, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi fa kìnnìún náà ya pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lásán bí ẹní ya ọmọ ewúrẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n òun kò sọ ohun tí ó ṣe fún baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀.
And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he tore him apart as he would have torn a kid, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Ó sì lọ bá obìnrin náà sọ̀rọ̀, inú Samsoni sì yọ́ sí i.
And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
8 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, nígbà tí ó padà lọ láti gbé e níyàwó, ó yà lọ láti wo òkú kìnnìún náà. Inú rẹ̀ ni ó ti bá ọ̀pọ̀ ìṣù oyin àti oyin,
And after a while he returned to take her. And he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 ó fi ọwọ́ ha jáde, ó sì ń jẹ ẹ́ bí ó ti ń lọ. Nígbà tí ó dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn òbí rẹ̀, ó fún wọn ní díẹ̀, àwọn náà sì jẹ, ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ fún wọn pé ara òkú kìnnìún ni òun ti rí oyin náà.
And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate, but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
10 Baba rẹ̀ sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti kí obìnrin náà. Samsoni sì ṣe àsè gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣà ọkọ ìyàwó ní àkókò náà.
And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, for so the young men used to do.
11 Nígbà tí ó fi ara hàn, tí àwọn ènìyàn náà rí i wọ́n fún un ní ọgbọ̀n àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ láti wá bá a kẹ́gbẹ́.
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Samsoni sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí n pa àlọ́ kan fún un yín, bí ẹ̀yin bá lè fún mi ní ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ láàrín ọjọ́ méje àsè yìí, tàbí ṣe àwárí àlọ́ náà èmi yóò fún un yín ní ọgbọ̀n aṣọ tí a fi òwú ọ̀gbọ̀ hun, àti ọgbọ̀n ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ ìyàwó.
And Samson said to them, Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If ye can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment,
13 Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin kò bá le sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi, ẹ̀yin yóò fún mi ní ọgbọ̀n aṣọ tí a fi òwú ọ̀gbọ̀ hun àti ọgbọ̀n ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ ìgbéyàwó.” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Sọ àlọ́ rẹ fún wa jẹ́ kí a gbọ́.”
but if ye cannot declare it to me, then ye shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said to him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 Ó dáhùn pé, “Láti inú ọ̀jẹun ni ohun jíjẹ ti jáde wá; láti inú alágbára ni ohun dídùn ti jáde wá.” Ṣùgbọ́n fún odidi ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ni wọn kò fi rí ìtumọ̀ sí àlọ́ náà.
And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
15 Ní ọjọ́ kẹrin, wọ́n wí fún ìyàwó Samsoni, pé, “Tan ọkọ rẹ kí ó lè ṣe àlàyé àlọ́ náà fún wa, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ àwa yóò sun ìwọ àti ìdílé baba rẹ̀ ní iná. Tàbí ṣe o pè wá sí ibi àsè yìí láti sọ wá di òtòṣì tàbí kó wa lẹ́rú ni?”
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye called us to impoverish us? Is it not so?
16 Nígbà náà ni ìyàwó Samsoni ṣubú lé e láyà, ó sì sọkún ní iwájú rẹ̀ pé, “O kórìíra mi! O kò sì ní ìfẹ́ mi nítòótọ́, o pàlọ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, ìwọ kò sì sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.” “Èmi kò tí ì ṣe àlàyé rẹ̀ fún baba àti ìyá mi, báwo ni èmi ó ṣe sọ ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ fún ọ.”
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou do but hate me, and not love me. Thou have put forth a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it to my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?
17 Fún gbogbo ọjọ́ méje tí wọ́n fi ṣe àsè náà ni ó fi sọkún, nítorí náà ní ọjọ́ keje ó sọ ìtumọ̀ àlọ́ fún un nítorí pé ó yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu ní ojoojúmọ́. Òun náà sì sọ ìtumọ̀ àlọ́ náà fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her because she pressed him greatly. And she told the riddle to the sons of her people.
18 Kí ó tó di àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ keje àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà sọ fún un pé, “Kí ni ó dùn ju oyin lọ? Kí ni ó sì lágbára ju kìnnìún lọ?” Samsoni dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Bí kì í bá ṣe pé ẹ fi ọ̀dọ́ abo màlúù mi kọ ilẹ̀, ẹ̀yin kò bá tí mọ ìtumọ̀ sí àlọ́ mi.”
And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye would not have found out my riddle.
19 Lẹ́yìn èyí, ẹ̀mí Olúwa bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára. Ó lọ sí Aṣkeloni, ó pa ọgbọ̀n nínú àwọn ọkùnrin wọn, ó gba àwọn ohun ìní wọn, ó sì fi àwọn aṣọ wọn fún àwọn tí ó sọ ìtumọ̀ àlọ́ náà. Ó sì padà sí ilé baba rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìbínú ríru.
And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment to those who declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 Wọ́n sì fi ìyàwó Samsoni fún ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ rẹ̀ nígbà ìgbéyàwó rẹ̀.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
