Judges 14
1 Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines,
Simmalog ni Samsom idiay Timna, ket sadiay, nakitana ti maysa a babai, maysa kadagiti annak dagiti Filisteo.
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife.
Idi nagawid isuna, imbagana iti ama ken inana, “Nakitak ti maysa a babai idiay Timna, maysa kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti Filisteo. Ita, alaenyo isuna para kaniak tapno agbalin nga asawak.”
3 And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me, for she hath pleased my eyes.
Ngem kinuna ti ama ken inana kenkuana, “Awan kadi ti babai kadagiti annak dagiti kabagiam, wenno kadagiti amin a tattaotayo? Mangalaka kadi iti asawaem manipud kadagiti saan a nakugit a Filisteo?” Kinuna ni Samson iti amana, “Alaem isuna para kaniak, ta tunggal makitak isuna, maay-ayoak kenkuana.”
4 Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
Ngem saan nga ammo ti ama ken inana a nagtaud kenni Yahweh daytoy a banag, ta kayatna a mangparnuay iti riri kadagiti Filisteo (ta dagiti Filisteo ti mangiturturay iti Israel iti dayta a tiempo).
5 Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him raging and roaring.
Kalpasanna, kadua ni Samson ti ama ken inana a simmalog idiay Timna, ket nakagtengda kadagiti kaubasan ti Timna. Ket rimmuar sadiay ti maysa a bumaro a leon nga agngerngernger kenkuana.
6 And the spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother.
Immay a dagus kenkuana ti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ket rinangrangkayna ti leon a kas kalaka iti panangrangkayna iti bassit a kalding, ket awan ti iggemna. Ngem saanna nga imbaga iti ama wenno inana ti inaramidna.
7 And he went down and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes.
Napanna kinasarita ti babai, ket idi kinitana ti babai, naay-ayo ni Samson kenkuana.
8 And after some days returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion and a honeycomb.
Kalpasan ti sumagmamano nga aldaw idi nagsubli ni Samson tapno asawaenna isuna, simmiasi isuna tapno kitaenna ti bangkay ti leon. Ket adda maysa a pangen dagiti ayukan ken diro iti nabatbati a bagi ti leon.
9 And when be had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them, that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
Inakuyna ti diro babaen kadagiti imana ket mangmangan bayat a magmagna. Idi nakagteng iti ayan ti ama ken iti inana, intedna ti dadduma kadagitoy, ket nanganda. Ngem saanna nga imbaga nga innalana ti diro iti nabatbati a bagi ti leon.
10 So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do.
Simmalog ti ama ni Samson iti ayan ti babai, ket nagparambak ni Samson sadiay, ta daytoy ti kaugalian dagiti agtutubo a lallaki.
11 And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him.
Apaman a nakita dagiti kabagian ti babai isuna, nangiyegda kenkuana iti tallopulo a gagayyemda a mangkadua kenkuana.
12 And Samson said to them: I will propose to you a riddle, which if you declare unto me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts, and as many coats:
Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Adda burburtiak kadakayo. No adda kadakayo ti makaibaga kaniak iti sungbat daytoy kabayatan ti pito nga aldaw iti panagrambak, mangtedakto iti tallopulo a lino a kagay ken tallopulo a pagan-anay.”
13 But if you shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle that we may hear it.
Ngem no saanyo a maibaga kaniak ti sungbat, ket ikkandakto iti tallopulo a lino a kagay ken tallopulo a pagan-anay.” Kinunada kenkuana, “Ibagam kadakami ti burburtiam, tapno mangngegmi daytoy.”
14 And he said to them: Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
Kinunana kadakuada, “Manipud iti mangmangan, adda maysa a banag a makan; manipud iti napigsa, adda maysa a banag a nasam-it.” Ngem saan a napugtoan dagiti sangailina ti sungbat iti las-ud ti tallo nga aldaw.
15 And when the seventh day came, they said to the wife of Samson: Soothe thy husband, and persuade him to tell thee what the riddle meaneth. But if thou wilt not do it, we will burn thee, and thy father’s house. Have you called us to the wedding on purpose to strip us?
Iti maika-uppat nga aldaw, kinunada iti asawa ni Samson, “Sikapam ti asawam tapno ibagana kadakami ti sungbat ti burburtia, ta no saan puorandaka ken ti balay ti amam. Inawisdakami kadi ditoy tapno papanglawendakami?”
16 So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother, and how can I tell it to thee?
Ket rinugian ti asawa ni Samson ti agsangit iti sangoananna: kinunana, “Kagurguranak! Saannak nga ay-ayaten. Nangibagaka iti maysa a burburtia iti sumagmamano kadagiti tattaok, ngem saanmo nga imbaga kaniak ti sungbatna.” Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “Kitaem, no saanko nga imbaga iti ama wenno iti inak, rumberng kadi nga ibagak kenka?”
17 So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and at length on the seventh day as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told her countrymen.
Nagsangsangit isuna kabayatan ti pito nga aldaw a kabayag ti panagrambakda. Iti maikapito nga aldaw, imbaga ni Samson ti sungbat iti asawana gapu ta kasta unay ti panangpilitna kenkuana. Imbaga ti asawana ti sungbat kadagiti kabagian dagiti tattaona.
18 And they on the seventh day before the sun went down said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.
Ket kinuna dagiti lallaki iti siudad kenni Samson iti maikapito nga aldaw sakbay a lumnek ti init, “Ania ti nasamsam-it ngem iti diro? Ania ti napigpigsa ngem ti leon?” Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “No saanyo a pinagarado ti bakak, saanyo koma a naammoan ti sungbat iti burburtiak.”
19 And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men, whose garments he took away and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry he went up to his father’s house:
Ket kellaat nga immay kenni Samson ti pannakabalin ti Espiritu ni Yahweh. Simmalog ni Samson idiay Askelon ket pinatayna ti tallopulo a lallaki kadagiti tattao. Innalana ti nasamsamda, ket intedna dagiti pagan-anay kadagiti nakasungbat iti burburtiana. Kasta unay ti ungetna ket simmang-at isuna iti balay ti amana.
20 But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband.
Ket naited ti asawana iti nasinged a gayyemna.
