Lakini ubaba wakwe ahakhanile ahwinjile. ² Ubaba wakwe ahayanga, "Nanganga uvitililwe, napela umanyani waho. Uilombo wakwe mwinza kuliko umwene, Mweje uno." ³ U Samsoni ahamuozya, 'Uwakati uwu sangaizawe inajile hwabha Filisti lwinza huwavwalazye.' ⁴ U Samsoni ahabhala akhata ibweha mia tatu ahazipinya peka zibhile, ziwele, ubinda nu binda. Alafu ahenga itala nahuzipinye pahati yi kila bindo. ⁵ Lwapembe umoto huvienga ahazileshela imbweha huvwalye vya Wafilisti zizyahemeleye, imbweha zhahapemba umoto ivyalye zonti zizyahatotilwe, nivwali zizyahemeleye mumagonda, peka na magonda gizabibu na mizeituni. ⁶ Abhafilisti bhahawuzelezya, "Yu nanu awombile eshi?" Bhahaga, "Yu Samsoni, umkwe wa Mtimna,, ahawombile esho kwa sababu Umtimna ahamwejile ushe wakwa uSamsoni ahapela umanyani wakwe. Basi Abhafilisti bhahamalila bhahamwosha nu moto umwene nu baba wakwe. ⁷ U Samsoni ahabhawuzya, "Nkamuwombile esho imbala wezye ishisafi hulimwe, baada yengo imbalalesha." ⁸ Alafu ahabhadumula vipande vipande, ishonte ni nama na hubhabude sana. Nantele ahiha pasi ahakhala hwipaho hu mwala gwa Etamu. ⁹ Ndipo Abhafilisti bhahenza, bhaitahindi alwe iwo ukho hwa Yuda, bhahandi ulungo wao uho hu Lehi. ¹⁰ Abhantu bha Yuda bhahayanga, "Shonu mwenzele hutikhome?" Bhahaga, "Tihubhakhoma ili tikhale uSamsoni, timwombe nanzi shatiwombile." ¹¹ Nantele abhantu elfu tatu bha Yuda bhahikha mpaka hwipaho lya Eatamu, bhahamuozya uSamsoni, "Je, sangaumenye aje Abhafilisti bhahutilabha ate? Je! utiwombeyeshi?" U Samsoni ahabha wuzya, "Shabhabhombye ane shimbawombel abhene." ¹² Bhahamuozya uSamsoni, "Tishile hupinye nahubheshe mmakhono gabha Filisti." U Samsoni ahabhawuozya, "Ndapili aje sangamza hubude amwe." ¹³ Bhahamuozya, "Hagaa, tinzahupinye wene ni nkusa nahutwale hwa bhene. Ate sagatinza hubude." Bhahapinya ni nkusa zibhele ipya bhanente afume hu mwala. ¹⁴ Lwawafiha hu Lehi, Abhafilisti bhahakhoma ishongo lwabhatangana nao. Kisha Umpepo wa Mweene ahenza pamwanya yakwe hu ngovu. Inkusa zyazyahali mnyobhe zyakwe zyahabhaje shitambala shalongolezye, zhahalagaha mnyobhe zyakwe. ¹⁵ U Samsoni ahalianga ifupa iwese li yego li dogobhi, ahalyenga nabude awantu elfu huifupa elyo. ¹⁶ U Samsoni ahayanga, "Hwi yengo lidogobhi isonda pamwanya yisonta, hu zala yi dogobhi imbudile abhantu alfu." ¹⁷ U Samsoni lwawamala ayanje, ahataga iyengo lidogobhi, ahapenta itawa pala Ramathi Lehi. ¹⁸ U Samsoni ahomele sana ahakwinza Ungolobhe nayanje, " Upinye umuomba mbombo waho amene uhugosi. Lakini eshi imbalafwe nahume amenze imbalagwe mnyobhe mwabhala bhasagabatahiliwe?" ¹⁹ Nu Ngolobhe ahapugula amahali pigodi pala pa Lehi, na menze gahafuma. Lwawamwela, ingovu zyakwe zyahawela ahabha ni ngovu. Ahapeta itawa pala enhakore uho hu Lehi hata ilelo. ²⁰ U Samsoni ahalino wi Israeli hu siku zya Bhafilisti hu maha ishilini.
