< Judges 15 >

1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
Khohnin puet om tih cangah tue vaengah tah Samson loh a yuu te maae ca neh a hip. Te dongah, “Ka yuu taengah imkhui la ka kun pawn ni,” a ti van hatah huta kah a napa loh anih te kun sak pawh.
2 Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
Te phoeiah huta kah a napa loh, “Anih he hnoel rhoela na hnoel tila ka ti khaw ka ti coeng dongah anih he na baerhoep taengah ka paek coeng. A mana te anih lakah a then ngai moenih a? A ham yueng la nang taengah tloep om mai saeh,” a ti nah.
3 Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
Te phoeiah Samson loh amih te, “Philisti taeng lamloh voeivai tah m'hmil dae saeh, amih taengah boethae ka saii vaengah he,” a ti nah.
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
Te phoeiah Samson te cet tih maetang ya thum a tuuk. Hmaithoi a loh tih maetang a mai neh mai boeih a hlaengtang pah. Maetang kah a mai rhoi laklo ah hmaithoi a khih pah.
5 And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Hmaithoi te hmai a hlae tih Philisti kah canghli ah a hlah vaengah canghlom lamloh canghli khaw, misur neh olive khaw boeih a ung pah.
6 Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
Te dongah Philisti rhoek loh, “He he ulae aka saii,” a ti uh hatah, “A yuu te a bong pah tih a baerhoep taengla vik a paek pah dongah Timni cava Samson loh a saii,” a ti uh. Te dongah Philisti rhoek te cet uh tih amah khaw a napa te khaw hmai neh a hoeh uh.
7 Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
Tedae amih te Samson loh, “He bang he na saii uh van dongah nangmih phu kan loh daengah ni ka paa eh?,” a ti nah.
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Amih te a hlit neh a laeng dongah hmasoe len neh a taam daengah suntla tih Etam thaelpang kah thaelvap khuiah kho a sak.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
Philisti rhoek te cet uh tih Judah ah a rhaeh uh hatah Lehi kaep ah khaw khawk yaal uh.
10 The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
Te dongah Judah hlang rhoek loh, “Balae tih kaimih soah na luei uh,” a ti nah hatah, “Samson te khoh ham neh kaimih taengah a saii bangla anih taengah saii van ham kam paan uh coeng,” a ti uh.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
Te dongah Judah hlang thawng thum te Etam thaelpang kah thaelvap la suntla uh tih Samson te, “Philisti loh mamih ng'ngol thil te na ming pawt nim, kaimih ham balae na saii he?,” a ti nauh. Tedae amih te Samson loh, “Kai taengah a saii uh vanbanglam ni amih taengah khaw ka saii van,” a ti nah.
12 They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
Te vaengah, “Nang khih ham neh Philisti kut ah tloeng ham ni ka suntlak uh,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih te Samson loh, “Kai taengah toemngam uh dae, kai tarha nan cuuk uh thil ve,” a ti nah.
13 They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Te dongah Samson te a doo uh tih, “Nang te dawk kang khih la kang khih uh vetih a kut ah kan tloeng ham ngawn ni, nang te kan duek rhoe kan duek sak uh mahpawh,” a ti nauh. Te dongah anih te rhuivaeh a thai rhoi neh a khih uh tih thaelpang lamloh a khuen uh.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Lehi la a pawk vaengah anih te doe hamla Philisti rhoek yuhui uh. Tedae anih te BOEIPA Mueihla loh a thaihtak sak dongah a ban dongkah rhuivaeh te hmai neh a do hlamik bangla poeh. Te dongah a kut dong lamkah a pinyennah te tlae.
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
Te vaengah laak kah a kam haeng te a hmuh dongah a kut a yueng tih a loh. Te nen te hlang thawngkhat a ngawn.
16 Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
Te dongah Samson loh, “Laak kah a kam neh paelh paelh, laak kah kam neh hlang thawngkhat ka ngawn coeng,” a ti.
17 It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
A thui te a khah nen tah a kut dongkah laak kam te khaw vik a voeih. Te phoeiah tekah hmuen te Ramathlehi a sak.
18 He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
Te vaengah tui dikdik a halthi hatah BOEIPA te a khue tih, “Na sal kut dongah he loeihnah khaw namah loh muep nam paek coeng. Tedae tuihalh ah ka duek vetih pumdul kut ah ka cungku pawn aya?,” a ti nah.
19 And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
Te vaengah Pathen loh Lehi ah a khui a vueh pah tih tui a phuet pah. Samson loh a ok tih a hil a sang daengah ni a hing pueng. Te dongah a ming te Enehakore a sak tih tihnin duela Lehi ah om.
20 He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Philisti tue vaengah Israel te kum kul lai a tloek pah.
