Judges 14
1 Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines;
Ary Samsona nidina nankany Timna ka nahita vehivavy tao avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina.
2 And when he came back he said to his father and mother, I have seen a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines: get her now for me for my wife.
Ary niakatra izy, dia nilaza tamin-drainy sy reniny hoe: Efa nahita vehivavy tany Timna avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Filistina aho; koa alao ho vadiko izy ankehitriny.
3 Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.
Fa hoy ny rainy sy ny reniny taminy: Moa tsy misy vehivavy va eto amin’ ny zana-kavanao, na ato amin’ ny firesako rehetra, no dia mandeha maka vady any amin’ ny Filistina tsy mifora ianao? Dia hoy Samsona tamin-drainy: Izy ihany no alao ho ahy, fa izy no mahafinaritra ahy.
4 Now his father and mother had no knowledge that this was the purpose of the Lord, who had the destruction of the Philistines in mind. Now the Philistines at that time were ruling over Israel.
Fa tsy fantatry ny rainy sy ny reniny fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah izany, satria nitady izay hiadiany tamin’ ny Filistina Izy; fa tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina no nanapaka ny Isiraely.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah (and his father and his mother, ) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at him.
Dia nidina Samsona sy ny rainy aman-dreniny nankany Timna. Ary nony tonga tao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka tany Timna izy, indro, nisy liona tanora nierona taminy.
6 And the spirit of the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of what he had done.)
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, ary ilay liona tanora dia nosamatsamahiny hoatra ny fanasamaka zanak’ osy, nefa tsy nisy na inona na inona teny an-tànany; ary tsy nambarany tamin’ ny rainy na tamin’ ny reniny izay efa nataony.
7 So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.
Dia nidina izy ka niresaka tamin-dravehivavy; ary nahafinaritra an’ i Samsona izy.
8 Then after a time he went back to take her; and turning from the road to see the dead body of the lion, he saw a mass of bees in the body of the lion, and honey there.
Ary rehefa afaka kelikely, dia niverina hampakatra azy Samsona ka nivily hizaha ny fatin’ ilay liona; ary, indro, nisy reni-tantely nivangongo sy tantely tao amin’ ilay fatin’ ny liona.
9 And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
Ary nalain’ i Samsona izany ka nentiny teny an-tànany, dia nihinana teny am-pandehanana izy; ary nankany amin’ ny rainy aman-dreniny izy, dia nanome azy, ka nihinana koa izy mivady; nefa tsy nambarany taminy fa tao amin’ ny fatin’ ilay liona no nangalany ny tantely.
10 Then Samson went down to the woman, and made a feast there, as was the way among young men.
Dia nidina ho any amin-dravehivavy ny rain’ i Samsona; ary nanao fanasana teo Samsona, fa izany no fanaon’ ny zatovo.
11 And he took thirty friends, and they were with him.
Ary rehefa nahita azy izy mianakavy, dia nametraka namana telo-polo lahy hitoetra ao aminy.
12 And Samson said, Now I have a hard question for you: if you are able to give me the answer before the seven days of the feast are over, I will give you thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing;
Ary hoy Samsona tamin’ ireo: Hanao fampanonona aminareo aho; koa raha lazainareo amiko ny heviny ao anatin’ ny hafitoana fanasana ka fantatrareo, dia homeko lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova ianareo.
13 But if you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.
Fa raha tsy mahalaza amiko kosa ianareo, dia homenareo lobaka telo-polo sy akanjo intelo-polo miova aho. Dia hoy izy ireo: Ataovy ary ny fampanonona mba hohenoinay.
14 And he said, Out of the taker of food came food, and out of the strong came the sweet. And at the end of three days they were still not able to give the answer.
Dia hoy Samsona aminy: Avy tao amin’ ny mpihinana no nivoahan’ ny hanina; Ary avy tao amin’ ny mahery no nivoahan’ ny mamy. Dia tsy nahalaza ny fampanonona izy tao anatin’ ny hateloana.
15 So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vadin’ i Samsona: Taomy ny vadinao hilaza ny fampanonona aminay, fandrao hodoranay amin’ ny afo ianao sy ny ankohonan-drainao; efa nanasa anay va ianareo ho entinareo mifafa izay anananay? Moa tsy izany va?
16 Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?
Ary ny vadin’ i Samsona dia nitomany teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Halanao aho, fa tsy tianao tsy akory; efa nanao fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneko ianao, nefa tsy nolazainao tamiko ny heviny. Fa hoy izy taminy: Indro, na dia ny raiko sy ny reniko aza tsy nilazako azy, ka ianao va no hilazako?
17 And all the seven days of the feast she went on weeping over him; and on the seventh day he gave her the answer, because she gave him no peace; and she sent word of it to the children of her people.
Dia nitomany teo anatrehany tamin’ ny hafitoana izay nisian’ ny fanasana ravehivavy; ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia nolazain’ i Samsona taminy, satria nitorikisina taminy izy; ary izy kosa nilaza ny fampanonona tamin’ ny zanaky ny fireneny.
18 Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer to my question.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahafito, raha tsy mbola maty ny masoandro, dia hoy ny lehilahy tao an-tanàna tamin’ i Samsona: Inona no mamy noho ny tantely; Ary inona no mahery noho ny liona? Ary hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tsy nampiasa ny ombivavikeliko ianareo. Dia tsy ho nahalala ny fampanonona nataoko.
19 And the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and, attacking thirty men there, took their clothing from them, and gave it to the men who had given the answer to his hard question. Then, full of wrath, he went back to his father's house.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Samsona ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah ka nidina nankany Askelona izy, dia namono telo-polo lahy tao, ary nalainy ny fitafian’ ireo ka nomeny ho an’ izay nilaza ny fampanonona. Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Samsona, ka niakatra nankany amin’ ny tranon-drainy izy.
20 But Samson's wife was given to the friend who had been his best man.
Ary ny vadiny dia lasan’ ny namany, izay efa nataony sakaizany.
