Mahukunta 16
1 Wata rana Samson ya tafi Gaza, inda ya ga wata karuwa. Ya shiga wurinta ya kwana.
Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
2 Aka gaya wa mutanen Gaza, “Ai, Samson yana a nan!” Saboda haka suka zo suka kewaye wurin suka yi kwanto dukan dare a bakin ƙofar birni. A daren nan ba su motsa nan da can ba, suna cewa, “Gari yana wayewa za mu kashe shi.”
The Gazites were told, “Samson is here!” They surrounded him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, “Wait until morning light; then we will kill him.”
3 Amma Samson ya yi kwanciyarsa har tsakiyar dare. Sa’an nan ya tashi ya kama ƙofofin birnin, tare da madogarai biyunsu, ya tumɓuke, ya aza su a kafaɗarsa, ya kai su kan dutsen da yake a fuskantar Hebron.
Samson lay until midnight, then arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
4 Bayan ɗan lokaci, sai ya shiga ƙaunar wata mace, mai suna Delila a Kwarin Sorek.
It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Sai shugabannin Filistiyawa suka tafi wurinta suka ce, “Ki yi ƙoƙari ki ga ko za ki rarrashe shi yă nuna miki asirin ƙarfinsa da yadda za mu iya shan ƙarfinsa don mu ɗaura shi mu yi nasara a kansa. Kowannenmu zai ba ki shekel dubu ɗari ɗaya na azurfa.”
The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”
6 Saboda haka Delila ta ce wa Samson, “Ka faɗa miki asirin ƙarfinka da yadda za a ɗaura ka a yi nasara a kanka.”
Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”
7 Samson ya ce mata, “In wani ya ɗaura ni da sababbin igiyoyin da ba su bushe ba, zan zama marar ƙarfi kamar kowa.”
Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”
8 Sa’an nan shugabannin Filistiyawa suka kawo mata sababbin igiyoyi guda bakwai da ba su bushe ba, sai ta daure shi da su.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Da mutane a ɓoye a cikin ɗaki tare da ita, sai ta yi ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka!” Da jin haka sai ya tsintsinke igiyoyin kamar zaren da ya yi kusa da harshen wuta. Saboda haka asirin ƙarfinsa bai tonu ba.
Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 Sa’an nan Delila ta ce wa Samson, “Ka mai da ni wawiya; ka ruɗe ni. Yanzu, ka gaya mini yadda za a daure ka.”
Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”
11 Ya ce, “In wani ya ɗaura ni sosai da sababbin igiyoyin da ba a taɓa amfani da su ba, zan zama marar ƙarfi kamar kowa.”
He said to her, “If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”
12 Saboda haka Delila ta ɗauki sababbin igiyoyi ta ɗaura shi da su. Sa’an nan, tare da mutane a ɓoye a ɗakin, ta yi ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka!” Amma sai ya tsintsinke su kamar zare.
So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, then said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.
13 Sa’an nan Delila ta ce, “Har yanzu, ka mai da shashasha, kana mai da ni wawiya kana kuma yin mini ƙarya. Ka gaya mini yadda za a daure ka mana.” Ya ce mata, “In kin yi kitson gashin kaina guda bakwai kika ɗaura su da zare kika buga su da akwasha, zan rasa ƙarfi in zama kamar kowa.” Saboda haka yayinda yake barci, sai Delila ta yi kitson gashin kansa guda bakwai ta ɗinka su da zare,
Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”
14 ta kuma ɗaura su da akwasha. Ta sāke yin ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka.” Ya tashi daga barcinsa ya tumɓuke akwashan tare da zaren da aka ɗaura gashin kansa da su.
She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.
15 Sa’an nan ta ce masa, “Yaya kake cewa kana sona alhali ba ka yarda da ni ba? Wannan shi ne sau na uku kana mai da ni wawiya kuma ba ka nuna mini asirin ƙarfinka ba.”
She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”
16 Da irin wannan fitina ta tsokane shi kwana da kwanaki har sai da ya gaji kamar zai mutu.
When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
17 Saboda haka sai ya faɗa mata kome ya ce, “Ba a taɓa sa reza a kaina ba, domin ni Naziri ne keɓaɓɓe ga Allah tun haihuwa. In kuwa an aske kaina, ƙarfina zai rabu da ni, sai in zama kamar kowa.”
He told her all his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”
18 Da Delila ta gane ya gaya mata kome yanzu, sai ta aika saƙo zuwa ga shugabannin Filistiyawa ta ce, “Ku ƙara zuwa sau ɗayan nan, ai, ya gaya mini kome.” Saboda haka shugabannin Filistiyawa suka dawo tare da azurfa a hannuwansu.
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.
19 Bayan ta sa shi ya yi barci a cinyarta, sai ta kira wani ya zo ya aske kitso guda bakwai nan a kansa, aka fara rinjayensa. Ƙarfinsa kuwa ya rabu da shi.
She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 Sa’an nan ta yi ihu ta ce, “Samson ga Filistiyawa sun zo su kama ka!” Sai ya farka daga barci yana tsammani cewa, “Zan fita kamar dā in miƙe jikina.” Amma bai san cewa Ubangiji ya rabu da shi ba.
She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He awoke out of his sleep, and said, “I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that Yahweh had departed from him.
21 Sa’an nan Filistiyawa suka fizge shi, suka ƙwaƙule idanunsa suka gangara da shi zuwa Gaza. Da suka daure shi da sarƙoƙin tagulla, sai aka sa shi yana niƙa a kurkuku.
The Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
22 Amma gashi kansa ya fara tohuwa kuma bayan an aske shi.
However, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
23 To, sai Filistiyawa suka taru don su miƙa hadaya ga Dagon allahnsu su kuma yi biki cewa, “Allahnmu ya bashe abokin gābanmu Samson a hannuwanmu.”
The lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.”
24 Sa’ad da mutane suka gan shi, sai suka yabi allahnsu, suna cewa, “Allahnmu ya bashe abokin gābanmu a hannunmu, wanda ya lalace ƙasarmu ya kuma raɓanya kisan mutanenmu.”
When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, “Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand.”
25 Yayinda suke cikin farin ciki, sai suka yi ihu, suka ce, “Fito mana da Samson yă yi mana wasa.” Saboda haka aka zo da Samson daga kurkuku, shi kuwa ya yi wasa a gabansu. Sa’ad da suka tsai da shi a tsakanin ginshiƙai,
When their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may entertain us.” They called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. They set him between the pillars;
26 sai Samson ya ce wa bawan da ya riƙe hannunsa, “Ka kai ni inda zan taɓa ginshiƙan da suke ɗauke da wannan haikali, don in jingina a kai.”
and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, “Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them.”
27 To, haikalin ya cika da mutane maza da mata; dukan shugabannin Filistiyawa kuwa suna a can, a bisan rufin kuwa akwai mutum wajen dubu uku maza da mata suna kallon Samson yana wasa.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who saw while Samson performed.
28 Sa’an nan Samson ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ya Allah ka tuna da ni, ka ƙarfafa ni sau ɗaya nan kaɗai, ka bar ni da bugu ɗaya kawai in ɗauki fansa a kan Filistiyawa domin idanuna.”
Samson called to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
29 Sa’an nan Samson ya kai hannuwansa ga ginshiƙan waɗanda haikalin yake a kai, ya jingina jikinsa, hannunsa dama yana a ɗaya, hannun hagu kuma na ɗayan,
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested and leaned on them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left.
30 Samson ya ce, “Bari in mutu tare da Filistiyawa!” Sa’an nan da dukan ƙarfinsa ya tura haikali ya fāɗa a kan shugabanni da dukan mutanen da suke ciki. Ta haka ya kashe mutane da yawa fiye da yayinda yake da rai.
Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.
31 Sa’an nan’yan’uwansa da dukan dangin mahaifinsa suka gangaro don su ɗauke shi. Suka kawo shi suka binne tsakanin Zora da Eshtawol a kabarin Manowa mahaifinsa. Ya yi mulkin Isra’ila shekara ashirin.
Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down and took him, and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
