Judges 14
1 Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Nikhat hi Samson Timnah khopia agachesuh leh, Philistine nungah khat ahin mudoh in ahi.
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as my wife.”
In na ahung kile phatnin aman anule apa kommah, “Timnah kho’ah Philistine nungah khat kamun kadei lheh jengin ahi, amakhu kajidingin eiga puipeh lhonnin” ati.
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, “Isn’t there a woman among your brothers’ daughters, 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.”
Anule apan anel lhonnin, “Eiho phunga numei umlou hija ahilouleh Israelte jouse lah a nakichenpi thei umlou hella hitam?” Amanin aseilhonnin, “Ipi dinga cheptanlou Philistine holah a ji naga kipui dingham?” atilhonne. Ahinlah Samson nin apa kommah “Neiga puipeh in, amanu khun kalung atoh lhehjenge” ati.
4 But 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 ruled over Israel.
Hiche thilsoh hi Samson chu Philistine te toh akidouna dinga Pathen thilgon ahilam chu anuleh apan ahet lhonlou ahi. Ajeh chu hichea pat’a hi Israelte chu Philistine te thaneina noija umma ahiuve.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.
Hitichun Samson chu anuleh apatoh Timnah kho a achesuh un ahilah Timnah kho a lengpithei lei kom aphah uchun keipi bahkai golkhatnin pohphungin ahin ngih in ahi.
6 Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he didn’t tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Hiche pettah chun Pakai Lhagao chun Samson chu pohphung in ahin hatdoh sah in ahileh, Samson in akhutkeo seh in akha ahin kaopeh in, min kelnou abolna bangin aboljengin ahi. Ahinlah aman thilsoh chu anuleh apa ana seipeh pon ahi.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
Samson chu Timnah khopi alhunphat in hiche nungahnu chutoh akihoulim lhonnin ahileh amanun Samson chu alunglhaisah lheh jengin ahi.
8 After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
Khonungin amanu chu kichenpi dingin Timnah kho a chun aga kilekitnin ahileh lampam’a chun keipi bahkai thilongchu agahven ahileh hiche thilong sunga chun khoiju bom anakaijin ahi.
9 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. 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 lion’s body.
Aman khoiju chu akhutnin themkhat agah khendohin achepum pumin anen ahi. Aman anule apajong themkhat apen ahile amanin jong anelhon’in ahi. Ahinla aman keipi bahkai thilong sunga khoiju alahdoh chu aseipeh lhonpon ahil
10 His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
Apan kichenna dinga tohgon achaiding konna akisahlel laitah chun, Samson in Timnah kho a golvah khat abollin ahi, hichu hiche phatlaija khangthah ho chonna ngaichu achepi ahi.
11 When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Mounu nulepa chun Samson chu amu phatnin aloi agoldingin khopi sunga konchun golhang somthum agonpeh in ahi.
12 Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
Samson’in amaho koma chun, “Nangho kommah thulem khat seijingting nanghon hiche golvah ni sagi sungahi naseidoh theijuva ahileh keiman nangho tupat ponnem somthum leh golvah von somthum kapeh diu ahi,” ati.
13 but if you can’t tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.”
“Ahinlah nanghon naseidoh theilou uleh nanghon tupat ponnem somthum leh golvah von somthum keima neipeh diu ahi,” ati. Amahon aphai kanom uve hiche thulem chu ipiham neiseipeh tauvin atin ahi.
14 He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.
Hitichun aman aseitan ahi, “Mi nepa a kon in nehthei themkhat ahungdoh e, mihatpa a kon in alhumkei themkhat ahung doh e” ati. Nithum sungin amahon hetdohtei ding ago uvin ahin ahedoh joupouvin ahi.
15 On the seventh day, 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? Isn’t that so?”
Anili channin Samson jinu kommachun, “Hiche thulem hi najipa a kon in hetdoh tei hingon achuti louleh napa in hi nangpuma kahal lhah thadiu ahi. Nanghon hiche golvah a hi suhjum dinga neikou uham?” atiuve.
16 Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”
Hijeh chun Samson komma chun ajunu in mitlhi pummin aseijin, “Nanghin neilungset ahipoi, neivetda joh ahibouve! Nangin kamite thulem khat nasei khummin ahinlah keikommah aledoh nading neiseipeh poi” ati. Aman adonbutnin, “Hiche ledohna appa kanule appa jeng jong kaseipeh lou ahi, nang komma iti kaseidoh dingham?” ati.
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Hitichun golvah sunga chun amanun neiseipeh teijin tin akomma akap jengin ahi. Ajonan nisagi channa in aman aledohna chu aseipehtan ahi, ajeh chu amanun phat tinna asuhboi jing jeng ahi. Hichun amanun gollhangho komma chun aseipeh tan ahi.
18 The 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.”
Hijouchun nisagi channi nilhum masangin khopi mihochu ahungun “Khoiju sanga lhumjo ipi umding ham? Keipi bahkai sanga hatjo epi umding ham?” atiuve. Samson in adonbutnin,” Kabongla namanchah louvu hileh kathulem chu hoiya nahet diuham!” ati.
19 Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
Hiche jouchun Samson chunga Pakai Lhagao chu thanei tah in achung’ah ahung chutan, ama Ashkelon khopia chun achesuh in, mi somthum aga thatnin aneihou ahin chommin athulem seidoh mihochu akitepna ponho chu agapetan ahi. Ahinla Samson chu hiche chungchanga chun alung phamolheh jengin ainlanga akile in anule apatoh aum khommun ahi.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Hijeh chun ajinu chu Samson golphapen pa kommah anapeu vin ana kichensah tauvin ahi.
