Judges

14

1And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
1 Kala Samson zulli ka koy Timna. A di wandiyo fo noodin Timna, Filistancey ize wandiyey ra.
2And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
2 Samson kaa ka ci nga baaba da nga nya se ka ne: «Ay di wandiyo fo Timna, Filistancey ize wandiyey ra. Sohõ binde, araŋ m'a hiiji ka kand'ay se.»
3Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
3 Gaa no baabo da nyaŋo ne a se: «Wandiyo jaŋ ni nya-izey wandiyey ra, wala baa ni dumo kulu ra, hala ni ma koy ka wande hiiji Filistancey ra, kaŋ yaŋ si dambangu?» Samson ne nga baabo se: «Kala day ni ma woodin ceeci ay se, zama a ga kaan ay se gumo.»
4But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
4 Amma baabo da nyaŋo mana bay kaŋ Rabbi do no woodin fun, zama kobay no a goono ga ceeci Filistancey gaa. Zama alwaato din Filistancey goono ga Israyla may.
5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
5 Kala Samson da nga baabo da nyaŋo tun ka koy Timna. I kaa ka to Timna reyzin kaley ra. A go mo, kala muusu beeri ize furo-taji fo tun Samson gaa da dunduyaŋ.
6And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
6 Kala Rabbi Biya zumbu a boŋ da hin. Samson na muuso di k'a tooru danga hincin ize cine. Hay kulu si no Samson kambe ra mo. Amma a mana ci baabo wala nyaŋo se haŋ kaŋ no nga te.
7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
7 Gaa no a zulli ka koy ka fakaaray wandiya se, a kaan Samson se mo gumo.
8And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
8 Jirbi kayna fooyaŋ banda Samson ye ka kaa zama nga ma wandiya hiiji. A binde kamba ka gana zama nga ma di muuso buukwa. Guna mo, yu beeri zugula go muuso buukwa ra, hala nda yu hari.
9And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
9 A na yuwo kaa nga kambey ra. A go ga dira ka ŋwa, kal a kaa ka to baabo da nyaŋo do. A n'i no, ngey mo ŋwa. Amma a mana ci i se hala muusu buuko ra no nga na yuwo kaa.
10So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
10 Baabo binde koy Samson wandiya do. Samson mo na batu te noodin, zama yaadin no arwasey doona ka te.
11And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
11 A go mo, waato kaŋ i di Samson, noodin borey kande arwasu waranza, i ma goro a banda.
12And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
12 Samson mo ne i se: «Wa naŋ ay ma jand'ize fo kaa araŋ se. D'araŋ n'a feerijo bay bato jirbi iyya ra, d'araŋ du a feerijo mo, kal ay m'araŋ no lin kwaay beeri waranza, da kwaay jinde waranza mo.
13But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
13 Amma d'araŋ mana hin k'a feerijo ci ay se, yaadin gaa, araŋ no g'ay no lin kwaay beeri waranza, da kwaay jinde waranza.» I ne a se: «Ci ni jand'izo, iri ma maa.»
14And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
14 Samson ne i se: «}waari kaŋ fun ŋwaako ra, da kaani kaŋ fun gaabikooni ra.» Amma kal a to jirbi hinza i mana hin ka jand'izo kaajo bay k'a ci.
15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
15 A ciya binde, zaari iyyanta hane, i ne Samson wando se: «Ma ni kurnye faali-faali zama a ma jando feerijo ci iri se, iri ma si ni ton da danji, nin da ni baaba windo. Araŋ n'iri ce neewo no zama araŋ m'iri arzakey ta, wala manti yaadin no?»
16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
16 Samson wando mo hẽ Samson jine ka ne: «Ni ga konna ay day no, ni si ba ay. Ni na jand'izo ci ay dumey izey se, amma ni man'a feerijo ci ay se.» Samson ne a se: «A go, ay man'a ci ay baaba wala ay nya se. May ci nin hala y'a ci ni se?»
17And 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 lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
17 Amma wando soobay ka hẽ a jine yaadin hala jirbi iyya din, bato alwaato me-a-me ra. A ciya binde, jirbi iyyanta hane, a na jand'izo ci wando se, zama a na Samson kankam da cimi. Gaa no nga mo na feerijo ci nga dumey izey se.
18And the men of the city said unto 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 unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
18 Jirbi iyyanta, hala wayna ga kaŋ, kwaara borey ne Samson se: «Ifo no ga bisa yu kaani? Wala mo ifo no ga bisa muusu beeri gaabi?» Amma a ne i se: «Da manti kaŋ araŋ n'ay haw zano daŋ ka far d'a, doŋ araŋ s'ay jand'izo wo kaa taray.»
19And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
19 Rabbi Biya kaa a gaa da hin. A zulli ka koy Askelon. A na boro waranza wi a ra k'i daabirey ta. A na kwaay beeri waranza no borey kaŋ yaŋ n'a sanno feeri se. Amma Samson bine tun ka koroŋ kal a koy nga baabo kwaara.
20But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
20 Amma i na Samson wando ye k'a no a naanay bora se, nga kaŋ te Samson se arhiiji coro.
