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

¶ And as Samson went down to Timnath, he saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

2 O o 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.

And he came up and told his father and his mother, saying, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore get her for me to wife.

3 M arkaasay 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.

Then 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 pleases me well.

4 L aakiinse 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.

But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD that he sought an occasion against the Philistines, for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

5 M arkaasaa 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.

Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnath, and when they came to the vineyards of Timnath, behold, a young lion came roaring against him.

6 M arkaasaa 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.

And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand, but he did not make known unto his father or his mother what he had done.

7 M arkaasuu dhaadhacay oo naagtii la hadlay; oo iyana Samsoon aad bay ula wanaagsanayd.

And he went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.

8 O o 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.

And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside from the way to see the carcase of the lion; and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

9 O o 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.

And he took of it in his hands and went along the way eating, and when he came to his father and mother, he also gave them some to eat, but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

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

¶ So his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made a banquet there, for the young men used to do so.

11 O o markay isagii arkeen ayay u keeneen soddon nin si ay ula joogaan.

And when they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him,

12 K olkaasuu 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;

unto whom Samson said, I will now put forth an enigma unto you, which if ye can declare it and discover it to me within the seven days of the banquet, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty changes of garments.

13 l aakiinse 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.

But if ye cannot declare it to me, then ye shall give me thirty sheets and thirty changes of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy enigma that we may hear it.

14 M arkaasuu 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.

And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not declare the enigma in three days.

15 O o 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?

And it came to pass on the seventh day that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband that he may declare unto us this enigma lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire. Have ye called us here to impoverish us?

16 M arkaasay 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?

And Samson’s wife wept before him and said, Thou dost only hate me and dost not love me, for thou hast not declared unto me the enigma that thou hast put forth unto the sons of my people. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it to my father nor my mother, and must I tell it to thee?

17 O o 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.

And she wept before him the seven days while their banquet lasted, but on the seventh day, he told her, because she lay sore upon him, and she declared the enigma to the sons of her people.

18 M arkaasay 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.

And 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 would have never discovered my enigma.

19 M arkaasuu 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.

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and slew thirty men of them and taking their spoil, he gave the changes of garments to those who had explained the enigma. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.

20 L aakiinse naagtii Samsoon waxaa la siiyey wehelkiis oo uu saaxiib ka dhigan jiray.

But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had fed him before.
