Ukuzalwa kukaSamson
1Baphinda oonyana bakaSirayeli benza ububi emehlweni kaYehova. UYehova wabanikela esandleni samaFilisti iminyaka emashumi mané.
2Ke kaloku kwabakho ndoda ithile yaseTsora, yomlibo wamaDan, egama linguManowa, umkayo eludlolo, engazali. 3Kwabonakala isithunywa sikaYehova kumfazi lowo, sathi kuye, Yabona, uludlolo wena, akuzali; ke uya kumitha, uzale unyana. 4Ke ngoko khawuzigcine, uze ungaseli wayini nasiselo sinxilisayo; ungadli nanye into eyinqambi. 5Ngokuba uyabona, uya kumitha, uzale unyana; isitshetshe sokucheba asiyi kusondezwa entlokweni yakhe; ngokuba le nkwenkwe iya kuba ngumahlulwa kaThixo kwasesizalweni. Yiyo ke eya kuqala ukuwasindisa amaSirayeli esandleni samaFilisti.
6Weza lo mfazi, wathi kwindoda yakhe, Kufike kum umntu kaThixo, imbonakalo yakhe injengembonakalo yesithunywa sikaThixo, isoyikeka kunene; kodwa andimbuzanga apho avela khona, naye akandixelelanga igama lakhe. 7Wathi kum, Uyabona, uya kumitha, uzale unyana; ke ngoko uze ungaseli wayini nasiselo sinxilisayo, ungadli nanye into eyinqambi; ngokuba le nkwenkwe iya kuba ngumahlulwa kaThixo, kwasesizalweni, kude kube ngumhla wokufa kwayo.
8Wathandaza ke uManowa kuYehova, wathi, Camagu, Nkosi yam; umntu kaThixo owamthumayo makakhe abuye eze kuthi, asifundise ukuba simthini na umntwana oya kuzalwa. 9Waliphulaphula uThixo izwi likaManowa; sabuya seza ke isithunywa sikaYehova kumfazi lowo ehleli entsimini, uManowa indoda yakhe ingenaye. 10Wakhawuleza umfazi, wagidima, wayixelela indoda yakhe, wathi kuyo, Yabona, ubonakele kum laa mntu ubezé kum laa mhla.
11Wesuka ke uManowa, wamlandela umkakhe, waya kuloo mntu, wathi kuye, Ungulaa mntu na ubethetha nomfazi? 12Wathi, Ndinguye. Wathi uManowa, Ukuba lithe lenzeka kaloku ilizwi lakho, lóba yintoni na isiko lale nkwenkwe, nokwenza kwayo? 13Sathi isithunywa sikaYehova kuManowa, Konke endikuthethileyo kumfazi makazigcine kuko. 14Maze angadli nto iphuma emdiliyeni, angaseli wayini nasiselo sinxilisayo, angadli nanye into eyinqambi. Konke endimwisele umthetho ngako makakugcine.
15Wathi uManowa kwisithunywa sikaYehova, Makhe sikubambezele, sikwenzele itakane itakane lebhokhwe. 16Sathi isithunywa sikaYehova kuManowa, Nokuba undibambezele, andiyi kudla ekudleni kwakho; ke ukuba wenza idini elinyukayo kuYehova, linyuse. Ngokuba uManowa ebengazi ukuba sisithunywa sikaYehova. 17Wathi uManowa kwisithunywa sikaYehova, Ungubani na igama; sikuzùkise lakwenzeka ilizwi lakho? 18Sathi kuye isithunywa sikaYehova, Yini na le nto ulibuzayo igama lam, libalulekile nje?
19Wathabatha uManowa itakane lebhokhwe nomnikelo wokudla, wazinyusa kuYehova eweni; sona sisenza ngokumangalisayo, bebonela uManowa nomkakhe. 20Kwathi, ekunyukeni kwelangatye esibingelelweni, lisinga ezulwini, senyuka isithunywa sikaYehova ngelangatye lesibingelelo, uManowa nomkakhe bebona. Bawa ngobuso emhlabeni. 21Àsaba saphinda sibonakale isithunywa sikaYehova kuManowa nomkakhe. Wandula ukwazi uManowa ukuba sisithunywa sikaYehova esi.
22Wathi uManowa kumkakhe, Siya kufa ngenene, ngokuba simbonile uThixo. 23Wathi umkakhe kuye, Ukuba uYehova ubefuna ukusibulala, angé engalamkelanga esandleni sethu idini elinyukayo, nomnikelo wokudla; angé engasibonisanga zonke ezi zinto; angé engasivisanga okunje ngexesha elinjengeli.
24Wazala unyana umfazi lowo, wathi igama lakhe nguSamson. Yakhula ke inkwenkwe leyo, uYehova wayisikelela. 25Waqala uMoya kaYehova wamqhuba eseMahane-dan,• phakathi kweTsora ne-Eshtawoli.
