1But it happened 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.
1Himahleh hichi ahi a, a nungin, buh lak hun laiin, Samsonin kelnou tawiin a ji a vaveha; Hua dantan sungah ka ji kiangah ka valut ding, a chi a. Himahleh a pan a lut a phalta kei hi.
2Her 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? Please take her, instead.”
2Huan, a pan, Amah na ho mahmah ka saa; huaijiakin na lawmpa kiangah ka napeta hi: a nau amah sangin a mel hoihjaw hilou hia? achia.
3Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them.”
3Huan, Samsonin a kiangah, Tutungin Philistiate poi khoih mahleng dem ka kai kei ding, a chi a.
4Samson 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.
4Huchiin Samsonin sihal za thum a vamana, meisel a laa, a mei u leh mei a peh khawma, a mei uh kikal chiatah meisel a koih chiata.
5When he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
5Huan meiselte a det takin Philistiate buh ding lak ah a tai lut saka, buhphal leh buh ding laite, oliv munte toh nangawn a kang vek hi.
6Then 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 with fire.
6Huchiin Philistiaten, Kua hih ahia? a chi ua. Huan, amau, Timna khuaa mi makpapa Samson hih ahi, a ji suta, a lawmpa a neihsak jiakin, a chi ua. Huan, Philistiaten a pata un a hallum ta uh.
7Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.”
7Huan, Samsonin a kiang uah, Hichibang na hih uh leh na tunguah phu ka lasam ding, huai khit chiangin ka hih nawn kei ding, a chi a.
8He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
8Huchiin nakpiin a panga, tampi a thata: huan a paisuka, Etam suangpi kek kalah a omta hi.
9Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
9Huchiin, Philistiate a va hohtou ua, Juda gamah a vakikulh ua, Lehi munah a kiphalh uhi,
10The 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.”
10Huan, Juda gama miten, bang chidan ahia kou sual dinga na hong mawk uh? a chi ua. Huan, amau, Samson khaukhih a ka tung ua a hih bang maha amah tunga leng hih dingin ka hong uh ahi, a chi ua.
11Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Don’t you 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.”
11Huchiin Juda gama mi, mi sang thum Etam suangpi kek kalah a va hoh suk ua, Samson kiangah, Philistiate i tung ua vaihawmmite a hih uh theilouna maw? bangchidana hichibanga ka tung ua thil honhihta main ahia oi? a chi ua. Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Ka tunga a hih bang ua ken leng amau tunga hih sam ka hi, a chi a.
12They 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.”
12Huan, amau tuh a kiangah, nang hon khaukhiha, philistiate khuta honpe dinga hong suk ka hi uh, a chi ua. Huan, Samson a kiang uah, Nouten honhihlum lou dingin ka kiangah kichiam un, achi a.
13They 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.
13Huan, amau a kiangah, Hihlum lou e: ahihhangin kou khaukhih chinten ding ua, a khut ua honpe ding ka hi uh: thah jaw kon that kei hial ding uh, chiin a gen ua. Huchiin khaujen thak nihin a khih ua, suangpi akipan amah a pi touta uh.
14When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
14Lehi mun a hongtunin, Philistiaten a na dawn ua, a na kikou juajua uh; huan, TOUPA kha a tungah nakpi takin a hongtunga, huchiin a bana gakna khaujen bel jija zang kang tat bang mai a honghitaa, a gaknate uh a khut akipan a ke niang maimah hi.
15He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and struck a thousand men therewith.
15Huan, sabengtung khaguh thak a mua, a sawka, a laa, huaiin mi sang khat a sat lum hi.
16Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
16Huan, Samson, Sabengtung khaguhin ka chiang vum venvon, sabengtung khaguhin mi sang khat ka sat lum, a chi a.
17It happened, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
17Huan, hichi ahia, thu a gen khit takin a khaguh tawi a paia: huan, huai mun bel Ramathlehi a nachita hi.
18He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh, 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?”
18Huan, a dang a hongtakta mahmah maia, TOUPA a sama, Nang na sikha khut zangin thupitakin non nahonkheta a: tuin dangtak takin ka si sin maia, zeksumlouhhonte khut ah ka puk lut nawn mai sin ahia? a chi a.
19But God split the hollow place that is in 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.
19Himahleh Pathianin Lehi muna kokhuk om a khangkham sak paha, huan, tui a hongkikhoh kheta hi; huan, huai a dawn takin a lungsim a honghat nawntaa, a halhta mahmah hi: huchiin huailai min dingin En-hakore a chita uh; tu tanin Lehi munah a om lailai hi.Huchiin Philistiate hun laiin Israelte tungah kum sawmnih vai a hawm hi.
20He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
20Huchiin Philistiate hun laiin Israelte tungah kum sawmnih vai a hawm hi.
