Waamuzi 14
1 Samsoni akateremkia Timna, akamwona mwanamke wa Kifilisti.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Samisoni ki Timinate, ʻo ne mamata ʻi Timinate ki ha fefine ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia.
2 Alipopanda kutoka huko, akawaambia baba yake na mama yake, “Nimemwona mwanamke wa Kifilisti huko Timna; basi mnipe ili awe mke wangu.”
Pea naʻe haʻu ia, ʻo tala ki heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u mamata ʻi Timinate ki he fefine ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia pea ko eni, ke mo maʻu ia moʻoku ke ma mali.”
3 Baba yake na mama yake wakamjibu, “Je, hakuna mwanamke miongoni mwa jamaa yako au miongoni mwa ndugu zako, hata ulazimike kwenda kujitwalia mwanamke kutoka kwa hawa Wafilisti wasiotahiriwa?” Lakini Samsoni akamwambia baba yake, “Nipatieni huyo kwa maana ndiye alinipendeza.”
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai koā ha fefine ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ho kāinga, pe ʻi hoku kakai kotoa pē, kuo ke ʻalu ai ke fili ha uaifi mei he kakai Filisitia taʻekamu?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni ki heʻene tamai, “Ke ke maʻu ia moʻoku he ʻoku lelei ia kiate au.”
4 (Baba yake na mama yake hawakujua kuwa jambo hili limetoka kwa Bwana, kwani alikuwa akitafuta sababu ya kukabiliana na Wafilisti; kwa kuwa wakati huo walikuwa wakiwatawala Waisraeli.)
Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē naʻe ueʻi ia ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo ai ha meʻa ke tauheleʻi ʻae kau Filisitia: he naʻe pule ʻae kau Filisitia ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki ʻIsileli.
5 Samsoni akateremkia Timna pamoja na baba yake na mama yake. Walipofika kwenye mashamba ya mizabibu huko Timna, ghafula mwana simba akamjia akimngurumia.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Samisoni, mo ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, ki Timinate, pea nau hoko ki he ngaahi ngoue vaine ʻi Timinate: pea vakai, naʻa ne fetaulaki mo e laione mui ʻaia naʻe ʻoho ngungulu ange kiate ia.
6 Roho wa Bwana akaja juu yake kwa nguvu, naye akampasua yule simba kwa mikono yake bila silaha yoyote kama vile mtu ampasuavyo mwana-mbuzi, wala hakumwambia baba yake wala mama yake aliyoyafanya.
Pea naʻe hoko mālohi lahi ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kiate ia, pea ne haehae [ʻae laione ]ʻo hangē ko ʻene haehae ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi, pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi hono nima: ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ki heʻene tamai pē ko ʻene faʻē, ʻaia kuo ne fai.
7 Basi akateremka na kuongea na yule mwanamke, naye akampendeza Samsoni.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia, pea alea ia mo e fefine: pea naʻe fiemālie lahi ʻa Samisoni ʻiate ia.
8 Baada ya muda aliporudi ili akamwoe, akatazama kando ili kuutazama mzoga wa yule simba, na tazama, kulikuwa na kundi la nyuki ndani ya ule mzoga wa simba na kulikuwa na asali;
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi, naʻe toe liu mai ia ke ne maʻu ia, pea afe ia mei he hala ke mamata ki he ʻangaʻanga ʻoe laione: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fuifui pi mo e hone ʻi he ʻangaʻanga ʻoe laione.
9 akachukua asali mkononi mwake akaendelea huku akila. Alipowafikia baba yake na mama yake, akawapa ile asali nao wakala. Lakini hakuwaambia kuwa alitwaa asali kutoka kwenye mzoga wa simba.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia mei ai ki hono nima, pea ʻalu pe mo kai, pe haʻu ia ki heʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, pea ne ʻatu kiate kinaua, pea ne na kai: ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala kiate kinaua kuo ne toʻo ʻae hone mei he ʻangaʻanga ʻoe laione.
10 Basi baba yake akateremka kumwona huyo mwanamke. Samsoni akafanya karamu huko, kama ilivyokuwa desturi ya vijana.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻene tamai ki he fefine: pea naʻe fai ʻi ai ʻe Samisoni ʻae kātoanga: he naʻe pehē pe ʻae anga ʻoe kau talavou.
11 Watu walipomwona, wakaleta vijana wenzake thelathini ili kuwa pamoja naye.
Pea ʻi heʻenau mamata kiate ia, pea pehē, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu ko ʻene kaumeʻa.
12 Samsoni akawaambia, “Niwape kitendawili, mkiweza kunipa jibu katika muda wa siku hizi saba za karamu, nitawapa mavazi thelathini ya kitani na mavazi mengine mivao thelathini.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni, te u tuku atu ʻae lea ʻoku fufū hono ʻuhinga kiate kimoutolu: kapau te mou fakahā moʻoni ia kiate au ʻi hono ʻaho fitu ʻoe kātoanga, ʻo ʻilo ia, te u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ʻae kofu loto ʻe tolungofulu mo e kofu ki he sino kotoa ʻe tolungofulu.
13 Lakini msipoweza kufumbua, ndipo ninyi mtanipa mavazi thelathini ya kitani na mavazi mengine mivao thelathini.” Wakamwambia, “Tuambie hicho kitendawili, hebu na tukisikie.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa fakahā ia kiate au, te mou tuku mai kiate au ʻae kofu loto ʻe tolungofulu, mo e kofu kotoa ʻe tolungofulu. Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Tuku mai hoʻo lea ʻoku ʻuhinga fufū, koeʻuhi ke mau fanongo ki ai.”
14 Akawaambia, “Ndani ya mlaji, kulitoka kitu cha kuliwa, ndani ya mwenye nguvu, kulitoka kitu kitamu.” Kwa muda wa siku tatu hawakuweza kutoa jibu.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe tupu ʻae meʻakai mei he ʻuakai, pea naʻe tupu mei he mālohi ʻae meʻa melie.” Pea naʻe ʻosi ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu mo e ʻikai tenau faʻa fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻae lea.
15 Siku ya saba, wakamwambia mkewe Samsoni, “Mbembeleze mumeo ili atueleze hicho kitendawili, la sivyo tutakuchoma moto wewe na wa nyumba ya baba yako. Je, mmetualika ili mpate kutunyangʼanya kile tulicho nacho?”
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, naʻe pehē, naʻa nau tala ki he uaifi ʻo Samisoni, ʻo pehē, “Fakakolekole ki ho husepāniti, koeʻuhi ke ne fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae lea, telia naʻa mau tutu koe mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai ʻaki ʻae afi: he kuo mou talia ʻakimautolu ke toe toʻo pe ʻemau meʻa? ʻIkai ʻoku pehē?”
16 Basi mke wa Samsoni akalia mbele yake na kumwambia, “Unanichukia! Hunipendi kabisa. Umewategea watu wangu kitendawili, lakini mimi hujaniambia jibu.” Samsoni akamwambia, “Wala sijamweleza baba yangu wala mama yangu, kwa nini nikufumbulie?”
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae uaifi ʻo Samisoni ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ke fehiʻa pe kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻofa kiate au: kuo ke tuku atu ʻae lea ki he fānau ʻa hoku kakai, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai te ke tala ia kiate au.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Vakai, naʻe ʻikai te u tala ia ki heʻeku tamai mo ʻeku faʻē, pea ʻe lelei ʻeku tala ia kiate koe?”
17 Mkewe akalia kwa muda wa zile siku zote saba za karamu. Hivyo siku ile ya saba Samsoni akamweleza, kwa kuwa aliendelea kumsisitiza sana. Naye akawaeleza watu wake kile kitendawili.
Pea naʻe tangi pe ia ʻi hono ʻao, ʻi hono toenga ʻaho ʻo ʻenau kātoanga: pea hoko ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, pea pehē, naʻa ne tala ia kiate ia, he naʻe fakafiu fakamamahi ia kiate ia: pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ia ʻae lea mo hono ʻuhinga fufū ki he fānau ʻa hono kakai.
18 Siku ya saba kabla ya jua kutua, watu wa mji wakamwambia Samsoni, “Ni nini kitamu kama asali? Ni nini chenye nguvu kama simba?” Samsoni akawaambia, “Kama hamkulima na mtamba wangu, hamngeweza kufumbua kitendawili changu.”
Pea lea kiate ia ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi he teʻeki ai tō ʻae laʻā, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku melie lahi ʻi he honi? Pea ko e hā ʻoku mālohi hake ʻi he laione?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne taʻeʻoua hoʻomou keli mo ʻeku pulu fefine, pehē ne ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻeku lea mo hono ʻuhinga fufū.”
19 Ndipo Roho wa Bwana akamjia Samsoni kwa nguvu. Akateremka mpaka Ashkeloni, akawaua watu waume thelathini miongoni mwa watu wa mji, akatwaa mali zao na nguo zao, akawapa watu wale waliofumbua kile kitendawili. Akiwa na hasira, akakwea kurudi nyumbani kwa baba yake.
Pea naʻe hoko mālohi ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kiate ia, pea ʻalu hifo ia ki ʻAsikeloni, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻiate kinautolu ʻe toko tolungofulu, pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia honau ngaahi kofu, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu naʻe fakahā ʻene lea fufū. Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻene ʻita, pea ʻalu hake ai ia ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.
20 Lakini huyo mke wa Samsoni akakabidhiwa kwa rafiki yake Samsoni ambaye alikuwa rafiki yake msaidizi siku ya arusi.
Ka naʻe ʻatu ʻae uaifi ʻo Samisoni ki heʻene kaumeʻa, ʻaia naʻa ne faʻaki ki ai ko hono kāinga.
