Judges 14
1 Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines,
Sie len ah Samson el tufoki som nu Timnah, ac el liyauk sie mutan fusr Philistia we.
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.
Ke el folokla nu yen sel ah el fahk nu sin papa tumal ac nina kial, “Nga tuh liyauk mutan fusr Philistia se in acn Timnah. Usalu ngan payukyak sel.”
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.
Na papa tumal ac nina kial eltal siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom suk sie mutan pegan kiom yurin mwet Philistia— Mea wanginna mutan inmasrlon mwet in ota lasr uh kom in eis kiom?” Ac Samson el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Usalu! El na pa nga lungse uh.”
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.
Papa tumal ac nina kial Samson tiana akilen lah LEUM GOD pa kolol Samson ke sulela se lal inge, ke sripen LEUM GOD El suk sie pacl wo in mweuni mwet Philistia. Mweyen ke pacl se inge, mwet Philistia elos leum fin mwet Israel ah.
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.
Na Samson el tufoki nu Timnah wi papa tumal ac nina kial. Ke elos fahsr ke ima in grape in acn Timnah, Samson el lohngak pusren lion soko ngutngut.
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.
Na ngun lun LEUM GOD sa na sikyang in el ac sang ku lulap nu sel, na el sang na paol ac eiya lion soko ah oana in nani fusr soko. Tusruktu el tiana akkalemye ma el oru inge nu sin papa tumal ku nina kial.
7 And he went down and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes.
Na el som ac sramsram nu sin mutan sac, ac el arulana insewowo sel.
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.
Kutu len toko, Samson el sifilpa som nu we tuh elan payuk sin mutan sac. Ke el srakna fahsr nu we, el srola liki inkanek ah tuh elan liye lion soko ma el uniya ah. Na el lut ke el liye loanginyeir ac honey ke monin lion soko ah.
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.
Na el lafusak honey inge nu inpaol, ac el fahsr kang inkanek ah. Ke el sun papa tumal ac nina kial ah, el sang kutu naltal, tusruktu el tiana fahk nu seltal lah ma el eis liki monin lion soko ma misa ah.
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.
Na papa tumal ah som nu lohm sin mutan fusr sac, ac Samson el orala sie kufwa we, tuh mukul fusr elos oru ouinge in pacl sac.
11 And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him.
Ke mwet Philistia elos liyal Samson, elos supwala mukul fusr tolngoul in muta yorol.
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:
Na Samson el fahk nu seltal, “Nga ac fahk ma se inge, na kowos palye. Kowos fin ku in konauk kalmac meet liki safla len in kufwa itkosr uh, nga ac sot polo nuknuk linen tolngoul ac nuknuk in ayaol na kato tolngoul.
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.
A kowos fin tia konauk kalmac, na kowos ase nu sik polo nuknuk linen tolngoul ac nuknuk in ayaol na kato tolngoul.” Na elos fahk nu sel, “Fahk kas in palye sacn kut in lohng.”
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.
Na el fahk nu selos, “Liki el su mongo, mwe mongo sikyak, Liki el su fokoko, ma emwem sikyak.” Ke len nufon tolu elos tia ku in konauk kalmac.
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?
Ke len se akakosr, elos fahk nu sin mutan kial Samson, “Kwafe nu sin mukul tomom an tuh elan fahk kalmen kas in palye lal nu sum. Kom fin tia, na kut ac isikkomyak ac lohm sin papa tomom. Mea, komtal sulikutme komtal in tuh sruokani ma lasr?”
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?
Na mutan sac el som nu yorol Samson ac tung ye mutal ac fahk nu sel, “Kom kikiap in lungse nga. Kom srungayu! Kom fahkak kas in palye nu sin mwet kawuk luk, a kom tiana fahkak kalmac nu sik!” Na Samson el fahk, “Nga tia pacna fahk kalmac nu sin papa tumuk ac nina kiuk! Efu ku nga in fahk nu sum?”
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.
Mutan kial ah tung ke len itkosr nufon ma kufwa ah orek ah. Tusruktu ke len se akitkosr ah na Samson el fahkang kalmen ma sac nu sel mweyen el na kwafe na nu sel. Na mutan sac som ac fahkak kalmac ah nu sin mwet Philistia ah.
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.
Ouinge, meet liki faht ah tili ke len se akitkosr ah, mukul in siti sac fahk nu sel Samson, “Mea emwem liki honey? Ac mea ku liki lion?” Na Samson el fahk nu selos, “Komtal funu tia orekmakin cow mutan nutik in akfisrasrye infohk uh, Komtal lukun tia ku in konauk kalmac.”
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:
In kitin pacl ah na, ku lun LEUM GOD sikyang in el, na el oatula nu Ashkelon ac uniya mukul tolngoul we. El sarukla nuknuk wowo lalos ac sang lun mwet ma palyeak kas in palu sac. Na el arulana kasrkusrak na folok nu in lohm sin papa tumal ah.
20 But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband.
Na mutan kial Samson ah itukyang nu sin mukul se ma tafwel Samson ke alu in marut lal ah.
