¹ U Samsoni ahabhala hu Gaza ahanola umalaya uho, nae ahagona peka nao. ² Abhantu bha Gaza bhahamanya, "U Samsoni ayenzele epa. "Abhantu wa Gaza bhahazyongola amahali pala hu siri, bhahagola usiku wonti huniongo gwi muji. Bhahakhala mie usiku wunti. Bhahayanga, "Namba tigole mpaka ishasenya atafutibude." ³ U Samsoni ahagona pashitala mpaka nusiku pahati. Pasiku pahati ahawuha ahahata uniango gwi muji ifoloma zyakwe ziwile. Ahazi kwesa afume hoze, imanga zyonti ahazibheha hushipungo imanga, zyonti ahazibheha mpaka pamwanya pigamba, hwitagalila hu Hebroni. ⁴ Baada yengo, uSamsoni ahagana ushe yahakheye hwikhombe lya Soreki. Itawa lyakwe ahali u Delia. ⁵ Bhala, abhagosi bha Filisti bhahamalila, bhahamwuozya, "hopele uSamsoni ili ulole pazili ingovu zyakwe ingosi hu namla wele tingawenzya humene, ili tupinye nahunavye. Womba esho, kila muntu anzahupele ivipande 1, 100 ivi mpeya." ⁶ U Delila ahamuozya uSamsoni, "Ihulabha umbozye, hu namna wele awe ulinigovu sana na hunamna wele umuntu angapinya ili akhante?" ⁷ U Samsoni ahabhawuozya, "Nkahampinye ni nkusa saba inzelu zyasagazwazwomele sagainzabhe ni ngovu inzabhe nanzi umuntu uweche wowonti." ⁸ Basi abhagosi Bhafilisti bhahanetela inkusa saba inyolo, nope ahapinya uSamsoni. ⁹ Epo ahali na bhantu bhahobhele hu siri bhahakheye hu kasi yakwe ha mhanti. Ahamuozya, "Abhafilisti bhali pamwanya yaho, U Samsoni!" Ahazidadula inkusa zila na uuzi nkawapalamasya umoto. Sagabhahamenye isiri yi ngovu zyakwe. ¹⁰ Ndipo uDelila ahamwuozya uSamsoni shuhuhopela ane na humbuzye ilenka.

Abhantu bhabhahagolaga bhahali muhanti yikasi ya muhati. Lakini uSamsoni ahefwa inkusa afume mnyobhe yakwe nanzi nanzi ishipande shi uzi. ¹³ U Delila ahamwozya uSamsoni, "Mpaka eshi uhopenye na humbozye ilenka. Hu namna wele ungapinywa uSamsoni ahamuozya ivishungi vyane vinyele nkuza huzipinye nishitambala, alafu upinye mwisumali inzabhe nanzi umuntu nanzi umtu wowonti." ¹⁴ Lwahagonile uDelila ahavitabha ivifugo saba vinyele zyakwe ahazipinya mhanti yi shitambala nahuzipinye mwisumali ahamuozya, "Abhafilisti wali pamwanya yaho, Samsoni!" Ahawuha afume mtulo ahakunja ishitambala peka nipini zizyahapinyilwe. ¹⁵ Ahamuozya, "Ungagawele aje," Ungene, wakati isili zyaho sanga uhumbozya ane? Uhopeye hatatu saga umbozezye ingovu iyinchi zuli nazyo." ¹⁶ Kila lisiku uhakazilaga sana inongwa yaho nope ahadamila sana hata anyonywe afwe. ¹⁷ Basi uSamsoni ahamuozya kila hantu, ahamuozya, "Uwembe sagauwahile akate inyele pamwanya yitwe lyane, kwa maana indi Mnaziri wa Ngolobhe afume mvyaanda vya maye wane. Nkawashete itwe lyane, ,basi ingovu zyane zinzahudesha, nane inzabhe bila ngovu nanzi umuntu uwenche. ' ¹⁸ U Delila lwawalola aje amuozezye lyoli kila hantu ahabhatuma nahubhakwinzye abagodi bha Filisti, aje, "Inzaji tena, ambozezye kila hantu." Ndipo abhagosi bha Filisti bhahabhala bhahaleta ihela mnyobhe zyao. ¹⁹ Ahameha agone mmafungamilo gakwe. Ahakwinzya umuntu anshate ivishingi saba vitwe lyakwe. Nope ahanda humene, kwa sababu ingovu zyakwe zineshile. ²⁰ Ahayanga, "Abhafilisti wali pamwanya yaho, uSamsoni!" Ahawuha hutulo ahayanga, "Imbala fume honze nanzi shifuma wila imba ni ngovu." Lakini sagaahamenye aje Ungolobhe aneshile. ²¹ Abhafilisti bhahakhata bhahamwefwa amaso. Bhahatwala hu Gaza bhahapinya mumunyololo. Ahasianga ingano hu jela. ²² Lakini inyele zitwe lyakwe ziahandile mele tena baada ya sheta. ²³ Abhagosi Bhafilisti bhahawungana ili afumye isadaka hwa Dagoni ungolobhe wao, nasongwe. Bhahayanga, "ungolobhe wetu amenile uSamsoni, umibhi wetu, na humeshe mjele zyetu." ²⁴ Abhantu lwabhanolo bhahapala ungolobhe wao, bhahayenje ungolobhe wetu amenie umibhi wetu atipiye ate - yawananganyaga insi yetu abhabudile winchi abha mwetu." ²⁵ Lwabhahabhiha isikulukulu, bhahaga, 'Kwizye uSamsoni, ayenze hutifuraisye.' Bhahakwinzya uSamsoni honze yi jela ahabha sesya. Bhahamwemelesya pahati yi nyoha. ²⁶ U Samsoni ahamwuzya ula usahala yahakhete inyobhe yakwe, 'Ndeshe ihate inyoha zizikhete inyumba ene, ili inegamile." ²⁷ Inyumba ihaemile abhalume nawashe. Abhagosi wonti bha Filisti bhahali umo. Pamwanya yigolo bhahali abhalume nawashe elfu tatu, bhahenyanga uSamsoni lwawasesyanga. ²⁸ U Samsoni ahakwinza Umweene, ahayanga, "Mweene NGOLOBHE, mpele ingovu! Ihulaha umpele neka tu Ngolobhe ili isombe ishisasi hwabha Filisti ahwenje amaso gane gabhele. ²⁹ U Samsoni ahemelela panyoha sibhele zizikhate imyumba eyo, nape ahegamila pamwanya yakwe, inyoha yeka inyobe yakwe yahu nelo, iya mwao hu mwoyo hwakwe. ³⁰ U Samsoni ahayanga, "Ifwe peka na Bhafilisti!" Ahazubha hu ngovu zyakwe na inyumba ihagwa pamwanya yabhagosi na bhantu wonti bhabhahali mhati yakwe. Kwa hiyo bhabhahabudilwa lwafwa uSamsoni bhali zaidi bhabhabudilwe wakati wa maisha gakwe. ³¹ Abhaholo wakwe ni nyumba yonti ya baba wakwe bhahiha. Bhahamwenga, bhahamwezye bhahasiela hu Sora nahu Eshtaoli pahasielelwe mumama ubaba wakwe. U Samsoni ahali nozi wa Israeli hu maha ishirini.
