Judges 15
1 But within a while after, in the time of wheate haruest, Samson visited his wife with a kid, saying, I wil go in to my wife into the chamber: but her father would not suffer him to goe in.
Pea fuoloa siʻi ange naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu ʻoe uite, naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻe Samisoni ki hono uaifi ʻaki ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke u ʻalu atu ki loto fale ki hoku uaifi.” Ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe he tamai ʻoe fefine ʻo ʻikai tuku ke ʻalu kiate ia.
2 And her father sayde, I thought that thou hadst hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy companion. Is not her yonger sister fayrer then shee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of the other.
Pea pehē ʻe heʻene tamai, “Naʻaku pehē moʻoni ʻeau kuo ke fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate ia ko ia naʻaku foaki ai ia ki ho kaumeʻa: ʻikai ʻoku hoihoifua hono tehina ʻiate ia?” ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke maʻu ia, ko hono fetongi.
3 Then Samson saide vnto them, Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistims: therefore will I doe them displeasure.
Pea pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni, te u taʻehalaia ʻi he kakai Filisitia, ka te u fai ʻae meʻa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu.”
4 And Samson went out, and tooke three hundreth foxes, and tooke firebrands, and turned them taile to taile, and put a firebrand in ye middes betweene two tailes.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Samisoni ʻo ne tauheleʻi ʻae fanga fokisi ʻe tolungeau, pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tūhulu, ʻo ne noʻotaki ʻae iku ki he iku, pea ne ʻai ʻae tūhulu ʻi loto ʻi he ongo iku.
5 And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standing corne of the Philistims, and burnt vp both the rickes and the standing corne with the vineyardes and oliues.
Pea hili ʻene tutu ʻae tūhulu ʻaki ʻae afi, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻae fanga fokisi ke ʻalu ki he uite tuʻu ʻoe kau Filisitia, pea naʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ai ʻae ngaahi ū uite, pea mo e ngaahi uite naʻe tuʻu, mo e ngoue vaine mo e ʻolive.
6 Then the Philistims sayde, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the sonne in law of the Timnite, because hee had taken his wife, and giuen her to his companion. Then the Philistims came vp and burnt her and her father with fire.
Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau Filisitia, “Ko hai ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea naʻa nau pehēange ko Samisoni, ko e foha ʻi he fono ki he tangata Timinate, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene toʻo hono uaifi, ʻo ne foaki ia ki heʻene kaumeʻa. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kau Filisitia, ʻonau tutu ʻae fefine mo ʻene tamai ʻaki ʻae afi.
7 And Samson saide vnto them, Though yee haue done this, yet wil I be auenged of you, and then I wil cease.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fai ʻae meʻa ni, ka te u totongi kiate kimoutolu, pea hili ia pea u tuku.”
8 So hee smote them hippe and thigh with a mightie plague: then hee went and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam.
Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻakahi mo e malamalaki ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia ʻo nofo ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe makatuʻu ko ʻEtami.
9 Then the Philistims came vp, and pitched in Iudah, and were spred abroad in Lehi.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hake ai ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Siuta, ʻonau nofo mafola atu ʻi Lī.
10 And the men of Iudah sayde, Why are yee come vp vnto vs? And they answered, To binde Samson are we come vp, and to do to him as hee hath done to vs.
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Siuta, “Ko e hā kuo mou haʻu pehē ai kiate kimautolu?” Pea naʻa nau talaange, “Kuo mau haʻu ke haʻi ʻa Samisoni, ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kiate kimautolu.”
11 Then three thousande men of Iudah went to the top of the rocke Etam, and sayde to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistims are rulers ouer vs? Wherefore then hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he answered them, As they did vnto me, so haue I done vnto them.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau tangata ʻo Siuta ʻe toko tolu afe ki he tumutumu ʻoe makatuʻu ko ʻEtami, ʻonau pehē kia Samisoni, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ko e kau pule kiate kitautolu ʻae kakai Filisitia? Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni kuo ke fai kiate kinautolu?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Hangē ko ʻenau fai kiate au, kuo pehē pe ʻeku fai ange kiate kinautolu.”
12 Againe they sayd vnto him, Wee are come to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the hande of the Philistims. And Samson sayde vnto them, Sweare vnto me, that yee will not fall vpon me your selues.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Kuo mau haʻu ke haʻi koe, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻatu koe ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.” Pea pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate kinautolu, “Fuakava mai kiate au, ʻe ʻikai te mou taaʻi au ʻekimoutolu.”
13 And they answered him, saying, No, but we will bynde thee and deliuer thee vnto their hande, but we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two newe cordes, and brought him from the rocke.
Pea naʻa nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai; ka te mau haʻi koe ke maʻu, ʻo ʻatu koe ki honau nima: ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mau tāmateʻi koe.” Pea naʻa nau haʻi ʻa Samisoni ʻaki ʻae maea foʻou ʻe ua ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he funga makatuʻu.
14 When hee came to Lehi, the Philistims shouted against him, and the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and the cordes that were vpon his armes, became as flaxe that was burnt with fire: for the bandes loosed from his handes.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Lī, naʻe kaila sipi kiate ia ʻae kau Filisitia: pea naʻe hoko mālohi ʻaupito ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kiate ia, pea hoko ʻae maea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻo hangē ha vavae kuo vela ʻi he afi, pea naʻe homo leva ia mei hono nima.
15 And he found a new iawebone of an asse, and put forth his hand, and caught it, and slewe a thousand men therewith.
Pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae hui kouʻahe foʻou ʻoe ʻasi, pea ne mafao atu ʻo toʻo ia ʻi hono nima, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko afe.
16 Then Samson sayd, With the iaw of an asse are heapes vpon heapes: with the iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni, “Ko e hui kouʻahe ʻoe ʻasi, ʻio, ko e hui kouʻahe ʻoe ʻasi kuo u tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko afe, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu tuʻunga ʻakinautolu.”
17 And when he had left speaking, hee cast away the iawebone out of his hande, and called that place, Ramath-Lehi.
Pea hili ʻene lea, pea pehē, naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae hui kouʻahe mei hono nima, pea ui ʻae potu ko ia ko Lama i Lī.
18 And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and sayde, Thou hast giuen this great deliuerance into the hand of thy seruaunt: and nowe shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised?
Pea naʻa ne hoko ʻo fieinua lahi, pea naʻe hū ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ke tuku ʻae fakamoʻui lahi ni ki he nima ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: pea te u mate eni ʻi he fieinu, pea tō ai ki he nima ʻoe kau taʻekamu?”
19 Then God brake the cheeke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout: and when he had drunke, his Spirit came againe, and he was reuiued: wherefore the name therof is called, Enhakkore, which is in Lehi vnto this day.
Ka naʻe fahiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae potu luoluo ʻi he kouʻahe, pea naʻe tafe mei ai ʻae vai: pea hili ʻene inu, naʻe toe haʻu hono laumālie, pea fakaakeake ia: Ko ia naʻa ne ui ai hono hingoa ko Eni-Hakoa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Lī ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
20 And hee iudged Israel in the dayes of the Philistims twentie yeeres.
Pea naʻa ne fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu.
