1 S amson went down to Timnah. There he saw a woman, one of the daughters of the Philistines.

Markaasuu Samsoon tegey Timnaad, oo wuxuu ku arkay naag ka mid ah gabdhaha reer Falastiin.

2 H e returned and told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah. She is one of the daughters of the Philistines. Now get her for me as a wife.”

Oo intuu soo noqday ayuu aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis u sheegay; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan Timnaad ku arkay naag gabdhaha reer Falastiin ka mid ah, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed taas ii doona aan guursadee.

3 B ut his father and mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your family or among all our people? Must you take a wife from the Philistines who have not gone through the religious act of the Jews?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she looks good to me.”

Markaasay aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ku yidhaahdeen, War miyaan naagu ku jirin gabdhaha tolkaa, amase dadkayga oo dhan, oo maxaa kugu wata inaad ka guursato reer Falastiinka buuryoqabka ah? Markaasuu Samsoon aabbihiis ku yidhi, Iyada ii doon, waayo, aad bay iila wanaagsan tahay.

4 H is father and mother did not know that it was the Lord’s leading. For He was planning a way to go against the Philistines. At that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

Laakiinse aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ma ay ogayn in taasu ahayd wax Rabbiga ka yimid; waayo, wuxuu doonayay sabab uu ku qabsado reer Falastiin. Oo wakhtigaas reer Falastiin ayaa xukumay reer binu Israa'iil.

5 S amson went down to Timnah with his father and mother. They came as far as the grape-fields of Timnah. There a young lion came running toward him, making a loud noise.

Markaasaa Samsoon, iyo aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, waxay tageen Timnaad, oo waxay yimaadeen beerihii canabka ahaa oo Timnaad. Oo bal eeg, waxaa isagii ku soo ciyey libaax yar.

6 T he Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson with power. Samson tore the lion apart like one tears a young goat. He had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

Markaasaa Ruuxii Rabbigu aad ugu soo degay isagii, oo Samsoon wuxuu u jeexjeexay libaaxii sidii uu orgi yar u kala jeexjeexi lahaa oo kale, oo gacmihiisana waxba kuma uu haysan; laakiinse wixii uu sameeyey uma uu sheegin aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis toona.

7 T hen Samson went down and talked to the woman. She looked good to him.

Markaasuu dhaadhacay oo naagtii la hadlay; oo iyana Samsoon aad bay ula wanaagsanayd.

8 W hen he returned later to take her, he turned to look at the dead lion. He saw that a lot of bees and some honey were inside the lion’s body.

Oo wakhti yar dabadeed ayuu u soo noqday inuu kaxaysto iyadii, markaasuu ku leexday inuu arko bakhtigii libaaxa; oo bal eeg, bakhtigii libaaxa waxaa ku jiray shinni badan iyo malab.

9 S o he took the honey out with his hands and went on his way, eating as he went. He came to his father and mother and gave some honey to them, and they ate it. But he did not tell them he had taken the honey out of the lion’s body.

Oo markaasuu gacmihiisii ku qaaday, oo iska tegey, isagoo cunaya intuu sii socday, markaasuu u yimid aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis, oo iyagiina wuu siiyey, wayna cuneen; laakiinse iyagii uma uu sheegin inuu malabka ka soo qaaday bakhtigii libaaxa.

10 T hen his father went down to the woman. Samson made a special supper there. The young men used to do this.

Markaasuu aabbihiis dhaadhacay oo u yimid naagtii; oo Samsoon halkaasuu diyaafad ku sameeyey; waayo, ragga dhallinyarada ahu sidaasay yeeli jireen.

11 W hen the people saw him, they brought thirty friends to be with him.

Oo markay isagii arkeen ayay u keeneen soddon nin si ay ula joogaan.

12 A nd Samson said to them, “Let me see if you can answer this question. If you can find the answer within the seven days of the special supper, I will give you thirty linen coats and thirty pieces of clothing.

Kolkaasuu Samsoon iyagii ku yidhi, Bal aan idin halxidho. Toddobada maalmood oo diyaafadda ah haddaad ii sheegi kartaan oo aad furi kartaan, waxaan idin siinayaa soddon maro, iyo soddon isku joog oo dhar ah;

13 B ut if you cannot answer me, you must give me thirty linen coats and thirty pieces of clothing.” And they said to him, “Ask your question. Let us hear it.”

laakiinse haddaad ii sheegi weydaan, idinku waa inaad i siisaan soddon maro iyo soddon isku joog oo dhar ah. Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal sheeg halxidhkaaga, aannu maqalnee.

14 S o Samson said to them, “Out of the eater came something to eat. Out of the strong came something sweet. Now what does this mean?” But they could not answer the question in three days.

Markaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Kii wax cuni jiray ayaa cunto ka soo baxday, Kii xoogga badnaana waxaa ka soo baxay macaan. Oo iyana intii saddex maalmood ah ayay halxidhkii furi waayeen.

15 O n the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife, “Make your husband tell us the answer. Or we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you asked us to come here so you can make us poor? Is it not true?”

Oo maalintii toddobaad waxay Samsoon naagtiisii ku yidhaahdeen, Soo sasab ninkaaga si uu noogu sheego halxidhkii, yaannan adiga iyo reerka aabbahaaba dab ku gubine. Ma waxaad noogu yeedheen inaad na caydhaysaan? Sow sidaas ma aha?

16 S o Samson’s wife cried in front of Samson, saying, “You only hate me. You do not love me. You have asked my people a question. And you have not told me the answer.” Samson said to her, “See, I have not told the answer to my father or mother. Should I tell it to you?”

Markaasay Samsoon naagtiisu ku hor ooyday, oo waxay isagii ku tidhi, Waxba iima aad samayn nacayb maahee, oo ima aad jeclid innaba. Dadkaygii waad halxidhay, oo iima aad sheegin. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Aabbahay iyo hooyaday toona uma aan sheegine, ma adaan kuu sheegayaa?

17 B ut she cried in front of him for seven days while their special supper lasted. On the seventh day Samson told her the answer because she begged him so much. Then she told the answer to her people.

Oo toddobadii maalmoodba way ku hor ooyaysay isaga, intii ay diyaafaddoodii ka dhammaanaysay; oo waxaa dhacay maalintii toddobaad inuu iyadii u sheegay, maxaa yeelay, aad bay ugu cadaadisay; markaasay halxidhkii micnihiisii dadkeedii u sheegtay.

18 S o the men of the city said to Samson before the sun went down on the seventh day, “What is more sweet than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson said to them, “If you had not plowed with my young cow, you would not have found the answer.”

Markaasay dadkii magaaladu isagii ku yidhaahdeen maalintii toddobaad intaan qorraxdu dhicin, Maxaa malab ka macaan? Maxaase libaax ka xoog badan? Markaasuu iyagii ku yidhi, Haddaydnan qaalintayda beerta ku falin, Halxidhkayga ma aydnaan furteen.

19 T hen the Spirit of the Lord came upon him with power. Samson went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty men of the town. He took their clothing and gave it to the men who answered his question. He was very angry and returned to his father’s house.

Markaasuu Ruuxii Rabbigu aad ugu soo degay isaga, oo wuxuu tegey Ashqeloon, wuxuuna ka laayay soddon nin, oo intuu soo furtay ayuu dharkii siiyey kuwii halxidhkii furay. Oo markaasuu intuu aad u cadhooday ayuu reerkii aabbihiis tegey.

20 S amson’s wife was given to his friend who had been his best man at his wedding.

Laakiinse naagtii Samsoon waxaa la siiyey wehelkiis oo uu saaxiib ka dhigan jiray.
