JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A MAUOPE iho, i na la o ka hoiliili ana i ka hua palaoa, hele aku la o Samesona, me ke kaokeiki, e ike i kana wahine; i iho la, E komo aku no wau iloko o ke keena i ka'u wahine. Aole nae i haawi mai kona makuakane ia ia ke komo iloko.
1But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said: 'I will go in to my wife into the chamber.' But her father would not suffer him to go in.
2I mai la kona makuakane, Manao maopopo ae la au, ua hoowahawaha loa oe ia ia nei, nolaila haawi aku au ia ia i kou hoa. Aole anei i oi aku ka maikai o kona kaikaina mamua o kona? Nau ia, ea, a kaawale keia.
2And her father said: 'I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion; is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.'
3I iho la o Samesona no lakou, Aole au e hewa e like me ko Pilisetia, ke hana au i mea e poino ai lakou.
3And Samson said unto them: 'This time shall I be quits with the Philistines, when I do them a mischief.'
4Hele aku la o Samesona, hopu iho la i na alopeke, ekolu haneri, a lawe i na lamaku, a hui ae la i kahi huelo i kahi huelo, a waiho iho la i ka lamaku iwaena o na huelo elua.
4And 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.
5A puhi iho ia i na lama i ke ahi, alaila kuu aku la, e hele lakou iloko o ka hua palaoa o ko Pilisetia e ku ana, a puhi i ke ahi i na puu hua palaoa a me ka hua palaoa e ku ana, a me na pawaina, a me na oliva.
5And when he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing corn, and also the oliveyards.
6Alaila, ninau ae la ko Pilisetia, Nawai i hana i keia? I mai la lakou, Na Samesona, na ka hunona a kekahi o ko Timenata, no ka mea, na lawe oia i ka ia la wahine, a ua haawi ia ia na kona hoa. Pii mai la ko Pilisetia, a puhi iho la i ua wahine la, a me kona makuakane i ke ahi.
6Then the Philistines said: 'Who hath done this?' And they said: 'Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion.' And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7I ae la o Samesona ia lakou, Ua hana no oukou i keia, aka, e hoopai aku au ia oukou, a mahope iho, oki au.
7And Samson said unto them: 'If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.'
8Luku ae la ia ia lakou, ke kikala a me ka uha, he luku nui loa. Alaila iho aku la ia a noho ma kekahi ana o ka pohaku, ma Etama.
8And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9Alaila hele ae la ko Pilisetia, a hoomoana iho la ma ko Iuda, a hoopalahalaha aku la ma Lehi.
9Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves against Lehi.
10Ninau aku la na kanaka o ka Iuda, No ke aha la oukou i pii mai nei e ku e ia makou? I mai la lakou, Ua pii mai nei makou e nakinaki ia Samesona e hana aku ia ia, e like me kana i hana mai ai ia makou.
10And the men of Judah said: 'Why are ye come up against us?' And they said: 'To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.'
11Alaila, iho aku la ekolu tausani kanaka o ka Iuda i ke ana iloko o ka pohaku ma Etama, i aku la ia Samesona, Aole anei oe i ike, o ko Pilisetia no ko kakou poe haku? Heaha keia mea au i hana mai nei ia kakou? I mai la kela ia lakou, E like me ka lakou i hana mai ai ia'u, pela no wau i hana aku ai ia lakou.
11Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson: 'Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that thou hast done unto us?' And he said unto them: 'As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.'
12I aku la lakou ia ia, Ua iho mai nei makou e nakinaki ia oe, a e haawi aku ia oe i ka lima o ko Pilisetia. I mai la o Samesona ia lakou, E hoohiki mai oukou ia'u, aole oukou e pepehi mai ia'u.
12And they said unto him: 'We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines.' And Samson said unto them: 'Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.'
13Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Aole, aku, e nakinaki makou ia oe a paa, a haawi aku ia oe i ko lakou lima, aole loa makou e pepehi aku ia oe. Nakinaki iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula hou elua, a lawe mai ia ia, mai ka pohaku mai.
13And they spoke unto him, saying: 'No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but surely we will not kill thee.' And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14Hele ae la ia a Lehi, hooho ku e mai la ko Pilisetia ia ia; a kau mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna ona, lilo iho la na kaula maluna o kona mau lima e like me ke olona i pau i ke ahi, a popo iho la kona mea paa ma kona lima.
14When he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him; and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15A loaa ia ia ka iwia o ka hoki, he iwia maka, hohola aku la i kona lima, lalau iho la ia mea, a me ia no ia i luku aku ai i hookahi tausani kanaka.
15And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith.
16I iho la o Samesona, Me ka iwia o ka hoki, o ka puu o na puu, me ka iwia o ka hoki ka'u i luku aku ai i hookahi tausani kanaka.
16And Samson said: With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I smitten a thousand men.
17A pau kana olelo ana, hoolei aku la ia i ka iwia mailoko aku o kona lima, a kapa aku ia wahi o Ramatalehi.
17And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
18Makewai loa iho la ia, a hea aku la ia Iehova, i aku la, Ua haawi mai oe i keia ola nui ma ka lima o kau kauwa nei; a e make anei au i ka makewai, a haule iloko o ka lima o ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia?
18And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said: 'Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of Thy servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?'
19Wahi ae la ke Akua i puka maloko o ka iwia, a puka mai la ka wai, mailoko mai o ia mea; a inu ia, alaila, hoi mai ka hanu, a ola ae la ia: nolaila, kapa aku la oia i ka inoa o ia wahi o Enehakore, aia ma Lehi, a hiki mai i keia la.
19But God cleaved the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came back, and he revived; wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
20Nana no i hooponopono i ka Iseraela i na la o ko Pilisetia, i na makahiki he iwakalua.
20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
