Nizotro tagne Timna ty Samsona, naho nahisake ampela raike tane re, ty raike amireo anak'ampela reo Filistina.
2
Laha fa nihere re, le nirehake tamity raene vaho ty renene hoe:" Nahisake ampela raike tao Timna raho, raike amireo anak'ampela reo Filistina. Naho alao mba ho valiko re."
3
Hoe ty rae vaho ty renene tamine hoe:" Feie vao tsy misy ampela amireo anak'ampela ty longonao, na amireo vahoakenao iaby? Hanagalake valy bakamireo Filistina tsy misavatse vao riha?" Hoe ty Samsona tamity raene hoe:" Alao hoahy re, fa laha fa nanente aze raho, le teako re."
4
Fa ty raene vaho ty renene le tsy nahay fa bakamy Yaveh ze zaka zay, satria nagniry ty hananga aly amireo Filistina re(satria tamize andro zay le reo Filistina ro nanjaka tao Israely).
5
Naho nizotro tagne Timna niarake tamity raene vaho ty renene ty Samsona, naho nimbaeo amity tanem-boaloboke Timna iereo. Naho, ingo, nisy liona kele raike namonje naho nitsero tamine.
6
Niavy tampoke tamine ty fagnahy Yaveh, naho le naterane mora manahake ty miterake anak'ose ty liona, naho tsy nisy na ino ino tegne antagnane. Nefa tsy nirehafene tamity ranene na ty renene ze nataone.
7
Nindeha re naho nirehake tamity ampela, naho laha fa nanente aze re, le nitea i Samsona re.
8
Andro kele tafara atoy laha fa nihere hangalake valy aze re, le nivio lala re mba hanente ty fate ty liona. Naho, ingo, nisy tantele teo amity sisa tavela tamity vata ty liona.
9
Navorine tegne antagnane ty tantele le nindeha re, vaho nindeha re ro nihina. Laha fa niavy tagne amity raene vaho ty renene re, le nameane ty agnilane iereo, naho nihina. Nefa tsy nirehafene iereo fa nalaene tegne amity sisa tavela tamity vata ty liona ty tantele.
10
Nizotro tagne amize nisy ty ampela ty rae i Samsona, naho nanao fikaiha tagne ty Samsona, satria zay ty fomba ty ajalahy.
11
Laha vaho hisa ty longo ty ampela re, le nindaisa iereo telopolo tamireo namane mba hiarake amine.
12
Hoe ty Samsona tamiereo hoe:" Engao raho androany hirehake ankamatatre aminareo. Laha misy raike aminareo mahisake zay naho mirehake amiko ty valene zisike ty fito andro fikaiha, le hameako rongone foty malineke telopolo vaho akanjo hisoloa telopolo. 13Fa laha tsy mirehake amiko ty valene nareo, le hameanareo rongone foty malineke vaho akanjo hisoloa telopolo isake raho." Hoe iereo tamine hoe:" Ambarao anay ty ankamantanao, mba hahafahanay maharey aze."
14
Hoe re tamiereo hoe:" Bakao amity mpihina ro misy zaka hane; bakao amity matanjake ro misy zaka maleme." Feie tsy nahisake ty valene tao agnate ty telo andro reo vahiny ilane.
15
Tamity andro fahaefatre le hoe iereo tamity valy Samsona hoe:" Fitaho ty valinao mba hirehafa aminay ty vale ty ankamantatre, laha tsy zay le horoanay riha vaho ty tragnon-draenao. Hinafa nareo tatoy mba hampahantrae vao zahay?"
16
Nanomboke nitagny teo agnoloa ty valy Samsona; hoe re ty hoe:" Hejenao raho! tsy tea ahy riha! Nanao ankamantatre tamity ialane tamireo vahoakeko riha, fa tsy nirehake tamiko ty valene." Hoe Samsona tamine hoe:" Henteo raho, laha tsy nirehake tamity raeko na ty reneko raho, le tokone hirehake aminao vao?"
17
Nitagny zisike ty fito andro nahareta ty fagnafara re. Tamity andro fahafito le nirehafene tamine ty valene satria nisere mafe aze re. Le nirehafene tamity longo ty vahoake ty valine.
18
Nialoha ty nitsofora ty andro tamity andro fahafito le reo lahilahy teo antana tamine hoe:" Ino ro mamy mihoatre ty tantele? Ino ro mafe mihoatre ty liona?" Hoe ty Samsona tamiereo hoe:" Laha tsy niraike-kevetre tamity valiko nareo, le tsy nahisake ty vale ty ankamantako."
19
Naho niavy tampoke tamin-kere tao amy Samsona ty fagnahy Yaveh. Nizotro tao Askelona ty Samsona naho namono telopolo tamity lahilahy iereo. Nalaene ty zaka binabo iereo, naho nomeane reo ze nagnazava ty ankamantatre ty akanjo iereo. Tamin-keloke mafe, le niakatre tagne amity tragno ty raene re.
20
Natolotre ty namane marine aze vatane ty valy Samsona.
