Judges 14
1 Nígbà kan Samsoni gòkè lọ sí Timna níbẹ̀ ni ó ti rí ọmọbìnrin Filistini kan.
And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha 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 went up and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a 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.”
And his father and his mother said to him, Are there no daughters of your brethren, and [is there not] a woman of all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she [is] right in my eyes.
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.)
And his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it 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.
And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha; and behold, a young lion roared in meeting 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 the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father and his mother what he had done.
7 Ó sì lọ bá obìnrin náà sọ̀rọ̀, inú Samsoni sì yọ́ sí i.
And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
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 some time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees, and honey [were] in the mouth of the lion.
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, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out of the mouth 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 Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young men are 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 took thirty guests, and they were 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 Sampson said to them, I propound you a riddle: if you will indeed tell it me, and discover it within the seven days of the feast, I will you give thirty sheets 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.”
And if you can’t tell it me, you shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said to him, Propound your riddle, and we will 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, Meat came forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not tell the riddle for three days.
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 fourth day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now your husband, and let him tell you the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: did you invite us to do us violence?
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 Sampson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not; for the riddle which you have propounded to the children of my people you have not told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and my mother, shall I tell it to you?
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, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it to the children 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 sunrise, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you would not have known 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 the Lord came upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and went up to the house of his father.
20 Wọ́n sì fi ìyàwó Samsoni fún ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ rẹ̀ nígbà ìgbéyàwó rẹ̀.
And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
