< Judges 15 >

1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ní àkókò ìkórè alikama, Samsoni mú ọ̀dọ́ ewúrẹ́ kan láti bẹ ìyàwó rẹ̀ wò. Ó ní, “Èmi yóò wọ yàrá ìyàwó mi lọ.” Ṣùgbọ́n baba rẹ̀ kò gbà á láààyè láti wọlé.
But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2 Baba ìyàwó dá a lóhùn pé, “Ó dá mi lójú pé o kórìíra rẹ̀, torí náà mo ti fi fún ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ, ṣe bí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin kò ha lẹ́wà jùlọ? Fẹ́ ẹ dípò rẹ̀.”
Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
3 Samsoni dáhùn pé, “Ní àkókò yìí tí mo bá ṣe àwọn Filistini ní ibi èmi yóò jẹ́ aláìjẹ̀bi.”
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 Samsoni sì jáde lọ, ó mú ọ̀ọ́dúnrún kọ̀lọ̀kọ̀lọ̀ ó so ìrù wọn mọ́ ara wọn ní méjì méjì. Ó mú ètùfù iná, ó so ó mọ́ àwọn ìrù tí ó so pọ̀.
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
5 Ó fi iná ran àwọn ètùfù tí ó so náà, ó sì jọ̀wọ́ wọn lọ́wọ́ lọ sínú àwọn oko ọkà àwọn Filistini. Ó jó àwọn pòpóòrò ọkà tí ó dúró àti àwọn tí a dì ní ìtí, ìtí, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọgbà àjàrà àti olifi.
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Nígbà tí àwọn Filistini béèrè pé, “Ta ni ó ṣe èyí?” Wọ́n dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Samsoni ará Timna ni, nítorí a gba ìyàwó rẹ̀ fún ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀.” Nítorí náà àwọn Filistini lọ wọ́n sì sun obìnrin náà àti baba rẹ̀.
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 Samsoni sọ fún un pé, “Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ṣe èyí, èmi ó gbẹ̀san lára yín, lẹ́yìn náà èmi yóò sì dẹ́kun.”
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 Ó kọlù wọ́n pẹ̀lú ìbínú àti agbára ńlá, ó sì pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú wọn. Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó lọ, ó sì dúró nínú ihò àpáta kan nínú àpáta Etamu.
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Àwọn ará Filistini sì dìde ogun sí Juda, wọ́n ti tan ara wọn ká sí agbègbè Lehi.
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 Àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì béèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ fi wá gbóguntì wá?” Ìdáhùn wọn ni pé, “A wá láti mú Samsoni ní ìgbèkùn, kí a ṣe sí i bí òun ti ṣe sí wa.”
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11 Nígbà náà ni ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ọkùnrin láti Juda sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ihò àpáta nínú àpáta Etamu, wọ́n sì sọ fún Samsoni pé, “Kò ti yé ọ pé àwọn Filistini ní ń ṣe alákòóso lórí wa? Kí ni o ṣe sí wa?” Òun sì dáhùn pé, “Ohun tí wọ́n ṣe sí mi ni èmi náà ṣe sí wọn.”
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
12 Wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa wá láti dè ọ́, kí a sì fi ọ́ lé àwọn Filistini lọ́wọ́.” Samsoni wí pé, “Ẹ búra fún mi pé, ẹ̀yin kì yóò fúnra yín pa mí.”
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13 “Àwa gbà,” ni ìdáhùn wọn. “Àwa yóò kàn dè ọ́, àwa yóò sì fi ọ́ lé wọn lọ́wọ́, àwa kì yóò pa ọ́.” Wọ́n sì dé pẹ̀lú okùn tuntun méjì, wọ́n sì mú u jáde wá láti ihò àpáta náà.
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 Bí ó ti súnmọ́ Lehi, àwọn Filistini ń pariwo bí wọ́n ṣe ń tò bọ̀. Ẹ̀mí Olúwa bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára. Àwọn okùn ọwọ́ rẹ̀ dàbí òwú tí ó jóná, ìdè ọwọ́ rẹ̀ já kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 Nígbà tí ó rí egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tuntun kan, ó mú un, ó sì fi pa ẹgbẹ̀rún ọkùnrin.
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Samsoni sì wí pé, “Pẹ̀lú egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan, mo sọ wọ́n di òkìtì kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́. Pẹ̀lú egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan, mo ti pa ẹgbẹ̀rún ọkùnrin.”
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 Nígbà tí ó dákẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ í sọ, ó ju egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ náà nù, wọ́n sì pe ibẹ̀ ní Ramati-Lehi (ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ egungun àgbọ̀n ìsàlẹ̀ pa).
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 Nítorí tí òǹgbẹ gbẹ ẹ́ gidigidi, ó ké pe Olúwa, wí pé, “Ìwọ ti fún ìránṣẹ́ ní ìṣẹ́gun tí ó tóbi yìí. Ṣé èmi yóò ha kú pẹ̀lú òǹgbẹ, kí èmi sì ṣubú sí ọwọ́ àwọn aláìkọlà ènìyàn?”
He was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
19 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run la kòtò ìsun omi tí ó wà ní Lehi, omi sì tú jáde láti inú rẹ̀. Nígbà tí Samsoni mú mi tan, agbára rẹ̀ sì padà, ọkàn sì sọjí, fún ìdí èyí wọ́n pe ìsun omi náà ni. Ẹni Hakkore (orísun ẹni tí ó pe Ọlọ́run) èyí tí ó sì wà ní Lehi di òní.
And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 Samsoni ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli fún ogún ọdún ní àkókò àwọn ará Filistini.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
