1Sie len ah Samson el tufoki som nu Timnah, ac el liyauk sie mutan fusr Philistia we.
1And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2Ke 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.”
2And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said: 'I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore get her for me to wife.'
3Na 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.”
3Then his father and his mother said unto him: 'Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?' And Samson said unto his father: 'Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.'
4Papa 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.
4But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5Na 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.
5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6Na 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.
6And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as one would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7Na el som ac sramsram nu sin mutan sac, ac el arulana insewowo sel.
7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8Kutu 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.
8And after a while he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9Na 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.
9And he scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went, and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.
10Na 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.
10And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11Ke mwet Philistia elos liyal Samson, elos supwala mukul fusr tolngoul in muta yorol.
11And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12Na 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.
12And Samson said unto them: 'Let me now put forth a riddle unto you; if ye can declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
13A 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.”
13but if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment.' And they said unto him: 'Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.'
14Na 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.
14And he said unto them: Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
15Ke 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?”
15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife: 'Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire; have ye called us hither to impoverish us?'
16Na 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?”
16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said: 'Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and wilt thou not tell it me?' And he said unto her: 'Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?'
17Mutan 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.
17And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18Ouinge, 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.”
18And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them: If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19In 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.
19And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20Na mutan kial Samson ah itukyang nu sin mukul se ma tafwel Samson ke alu in marut lal ah.
20But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had had for his friend.
