¹Markaasuu Samsoon tegey Timnaad, oo wuxuu ku arkay naag ka mid ah gabdhaha reer Falastiin.

¹And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.

²Oo intuu soo noqday ayuu aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis u sheegay; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan Timnaad ku arkay naag gabdhaha reer Falastiin ka mid ah, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed taas ii doona aan guursadee.

²And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her for me as wife.

³Markaasay aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ku yidhaahdeen, War miyaan naagu ku jirin gabdhaha tolkaa, amase dadkayga oo dhan, oo maxaa kugu wata inaad ka guursato reer Falastiinka buuryoqabka ah? Markaasuu Samsoon aabbihiis ku yidhi, Iyada ii doon, waayo, aad bay iila wanaagsan tahay.

³And his father and his mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father, Take her for me, for she pleases me well.

⁴Laakiinse aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ma ay ogayn in taasu ahayd wax Rabbiga ka yimid; waayo, wuxuu doonayay sabab uu ku qabsado reer Falastiin. Oo wakhtigaas reer Falastiin ayaa xukumay reer binu Israa'iil.

⁴And his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

⁵Markaasaa Samsoon, iyo aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, waxay tageen Timnaad, oo waxay yimaadeen beerihii canabka ahaa oo Timnaad. Oo bal eeg, waxaa isagii ku soo ciyey libaax yar.

⁵And Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and they came to the vineyards of Timnathah. And behold, a young lion roared against him;

⁶Markaasaa Ruuxii Rabbigu aad ugu soo degay isagii, oo Samsoon wuxuu u jeexjeexay libaaxii sidii uu orgi yar u kala jeexjeexi lahaa oo kale, oo gacmihiisana waxba kuma uu haysan; laakiinse wixii uu sameeyey uma uu sheegin aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis toona.

⁶and the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he rent it as one rends a kid, and nothing was in his hand. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

⁷Markaasuu dhaadhacay oo naagtii la hadlay; oo iyana Samsoon aad bay ula wanaagsanayd.

⁷And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

⁸Oo wakhti yar dabadeed ayuu u soo noqday inuu kaxaysto iyadii, markaasuu ku leexday inuu arko bakhtigii libaaxa; oo bal eeg, bakhtigii libaaxa waxaa ku jiray shinni badan iyo malab.

⁸And he returned after a time to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, [there was] a swarm of bees in the carcase of the lion, and honey;

⁹Oo markaasuu gacmihiisii ku qaaday, oo iska tegey, isagoo cunaya intuu sii socday, markaasuu u yimid aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, oo iyagiina wuu siiyey, wayna cuneen; laakiinse iyagii uma uu sheegin inuu malabka ka soo qaaday bakhtigii libaaxa.

⁹and he took it out in his hands, and went on, and ate as he went. And he came to his father and to his mother, and gave them, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

¹⁰Markaasuu aabbihiis dhaadhacay oo u yimid naagtii; oo Samsoon halkaasuu diyaafad ku sameeyey; waayo, ragga dhallinyarada ahu sidaasay yeeli jireen.

¹⁰And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

¹¹Oo markay isagii arkeen ayay u keeneen soddon nin si ay ula joogaan.

¹¹And it came to pass when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they were with him.

¹²Kolkaasuu Samsoon iyagii ku yidhi, Bal aan idin halxidho. Toddobada maalmood oo diyaafadda ah haddaad ii sheegi kartaan oo aad furi kartaan, waxaan idin siinayaa soddon maro, iyo soddon isku joog oo dhar ah;

¹²And Samson said to them, Let me now propound a riddle to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments.

¹³laakiinse haddaad ii sheegi weydaan, idinku waa inaad i siisaan soddon maro iyo soddon isku joog oo dhar ah. Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal sheeg halxidhkaaga, aannu maqalnee.

¹³But if ye cannot explain [it] to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments. And they said to him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.

¹⁴Markaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Kii wax cuni jiray ayaa cunto ka soo baxday, Kii xoogga badnaana waxaa ka soo baxay macaan. Oo iyana intii saddex maalmood ah ayay halxidhkii furi waayeen.

¹⁴And 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 explain the riddle.

¹⁵Oo maalintii toddobaad waxay Samsoon naagtiisii ku yidhaahdeen, Soo sasab ninkaaga si uu noogu sheego halxidhkii, yaannan adiga iyo reerka aabbahaaba dab ku gubine. Ma waxaad noogu yeedheen inaad na caydhaysaan? Sow sidaas ma aha?

¹⁵And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye invited us to impoverish us, -- is it not [so]?

¹⁶Markaasay Samsoon naagtiisu ku hor ooyday, oo waxay isagii ku tidhi, Waxba iima aad samayn nacayb maahee, oo ima aad jeclid innaba. Dadkaygii waad halxidhay, oo iima aad sheegin. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Aabbahay iyo hooyaday toona uma aan sheegine, ma adaan kuu sheegayaa?

¹⁶And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddle to the children of my people, and hast not explained it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my father nor my mother, and shall I explain it to thee?

¹⁷Oo toddobadii maalmoodba way ku hor ooyaysay isaga, intii ay diyaafaddoodii ka dhammaanaysay; oo waxaa dhacay maalintii toddobaad inuu iyadii u sheegay, maxaa yeelay, aad bay ugu cadaadisay; markaasay halxidhkii micnihiisii dadkeedii u sheegtay.

¹⁷And she wept before him the seven days, while they had the feast. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddle to the children of her people.

¹⁸Markaasay dadkii magaaladu isagii ku yidhaahdeen maalintii toddobaad intaan qorraxdu dhicin, Maxaa malab ka macaan? Maxaase libaax ka xoog badan? Markaasuu iyagii ku yidhi, Haddaydnan qaalintayda beerta ku falin, Halxidhkayga ma aydnaan furteen.

¹⁸And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey, And what stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.

¹⁹Markaasuu Ruuxii Rabbigu aad ugu soo degay isaga, oo wuxuu tegey Ashqeloon, wuxuuna ka laayay soddon nin, oo intuu soo furtay ayuu dharkii siiyey kuwii halxidhkii furay. Oo markaasuu intuu aad u cadhooday ayuu reerkii aabbihiis tegey.Laakiinse naagtii Samsoon waxaa la siiyey wehelkiis oo uu saaxiib ka dhigan jiray.

¹⁹And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of garments unto them that explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

²⁰Laakiinse naagtii Samsoon waxaa la siiyey wehelkiis oo uu saaxiib ka dhigan jiray.

²⁰And Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had made his friend.
