1Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
1Huan, Samson bel Timna khua ah a hoh suka, Timna khua ah Philistiate tanute laka mi numei khat a vamua.
2He 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 as wife.”
2Huan, a hongpai touh nawnin a nu leh a pa a hilha, Timna khua ah, Philistiate tanute laka mi numei khat ka mua: ka ji dingin honpi sak un, a chi a.
3Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me; for she pleases me well.”
3Huchiin a nu leh apan a kiangah, Na unaute tanute lak ah hiam, I chite tengteng lakah hiam numei om hetlou uh ahi ahia, Philistiate zeksum louhte laka ji ding na vazon maimah? a chi ua. Huan, Samsonin a pa kiangah; Hon pisak main; ka deih mahmah hi, a chi a.
4But his father and his mother didn’t know that it was of Yahweh; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
4Himahleh a nu leh a pan huaibel TOUPA hih ahi chih a thei uh: Philistiate tungah lah paulap a zong ahi ngala. Huchihlaiin Philistiaten Israelte tungah vai a hawm uh.
5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and behold, a young lion roared against him.
5Huchiin Samson bel a nu leh a pa toh Timna khua ah a hoh suk ua, Timna khuaa grep mun a vatung ua; huan, ngaiin, humpinelkai lunlai a nahumhama.
6The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat; and he had nothing in his hand: but he didn’t tell his father or his mother what he had done.
6Huan, TOUPA kha a tungah nakpi takin a hongtunga, huchiin kel nou mal nen bang main a mal nen maimaha, bangmah lah a tawi ngal keia; himahleh a thilhih a nu leh a pa a hilh kei hi.
7He went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
7Huan, a hoh suka, huai numei a kithuahpiha; Samsonin a deih ngiala.
8After 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.
8Huan, a nungin vapi dingin a hoh nawna, humpinelkai luang et tumin a vapiala: huan, ngaiin, humpinelkai pumpi ah khuai a naom luailuaia, a ju leng a oma.
9He 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 didn’t tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
9Huan, huai tuh a laa, a pai nawna, a pai kawmin a ne kawmkawma, huan, a nu leh pa kiang a tung toua, amau leng a piaa, amau leng a ne uh: ahihhangin huai khuaiju humpinelkai pumpi akipana a lak ahi chih bangmah a hilh kei.
10His father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
10Huan, a pa numei kiangah a vahoh suka: huan, huailaiah Samsonin ankuang a lui hi; huaibel tangvalte hihdan ahi him a.
11It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
11Huan hichi ahia, amaha muh tak un, a kianga omtei dingin lawm sawmthum a pi uh.
12Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you 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 clothing;
12Huan, Samsonin a kiang uah, Tuin thuhak kon dong ding e: ankuangluini, ni sagih sunga non hilhchet theih ua, na theihkhiak theih uleh puanmalngat silh sawmthum ka honpe ding:
13but if you can’t declare it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.”
13Ahihhangin na honhilhchet theihkei uleh, puan malngat silh sawmthum leh kikhenna puan sawmthum na honpiak ding uh ahi, a chi a. Huan, amau a kiangah, Na thuhak gen dih ve leh, ka nangaikhe ding uh, a chi ua.
14He said to them, “Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.
14Huan, aman a kiang uah, Nemi akipan nekding hong pawt, hattak akipan thil khum tak hongpawt chih, a chi a.
15It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is it not so?”
15Huan, nithum sungin huai thuhak a hilhchian theita kei ua. Huchiin hichi ahia, a ni sagihni in Samson ji kiangah. Na pasal hiai thuhak honchilchian dingin kunin, huchilouinjaw nang leh na pa inkote kon hal sin uhi: ka neih uh la dingin na hi maw non sap? ahi kei maw? a chi ua.
16Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?”
16Huchiin Samson ji a maah a kappa, Non na it keia, Non nahua ahi zo ve; ka chite lah thuhak na dong ngala, kei bel na honhilhchian ngal keia, a chi a. Huan, aman a kiangah ngaiin, ka nu leh pa leng ka hilh kei, nang ka honhilh dia hia? a chi a.
17She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
17Huan a ankuanglui uh, ni sagih sung tengin a maah kapkapa: huan, huchi ahia, a ni sagih niin a nget ngutngut jiakin a hilh khong-khong hi: huan, aman thuhak a chite a vahilhte hi.
18The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t plowed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”
18Huan, a ni sagih ni, nitum main huai khuaa miten a kiangah, khuaiju sanga khumjaw bang ahia? Huan, humpinnelkai sanga hatjaw bang ahia? a chi ua. Huan, aman a kiang uah, ka bawnglain lei let kei le u chinjaw, ka thuhak theikhe hetlou ding hi ve uchin, a chi a.
19The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
19Huan, Toupa kha a tungah nakpiin a hongtunga, huan, Askelon khua ah a hoh suka, mi sawm thum a thata a puansilh uh a hawk saka, kikhenna puante thukak hilhchian mite a piaa. Huchiin a heh mahmah maia, a pa in lamah a paitouta hi.himaleh Samson ji pen a kithuahpihpa, lawm bang a zatpa kiangah piakin omta hi.
20But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
20himaleh Samson ji pen a kithuahpihpa, lawm bang a zatpa kiangah piakin omta hi.
