AbaHluleli 15
1Kwathi emva kwesikhashana, ngesikhathi sokuvuna ukolweni, uSamsoni wahambela umkakhe enezinyane lembuzi; wathi: Ngizongena ekamelweni nomkami. Kodwa uyise kazange avume ukuthi angene.
2Wayesethi uyise: “Bengithi umzonda nokumzonda; ngalokho ngimnike umngane wakho; Akamuhle yini udadewabo omncane kunaye? mthathe esikhundleni sakhe.
3USamsoni wasesithi ngabo: Khathesi-ke ngizaba msulwa njengamaFilisti, loba ngiwenza okubi kiwo.
4USamsoni wahamba wabamba izimpungushe ezingamakhulu amathathu, wathatha umentshisi, waphendula umsila ngomsila, wafaka umlilo phakathi kwemisila emibili.
5Esethungele izinkuni ngomlilo, wazidedela zangena emabeleni amaFilisti angakavunwa, washisa izithungu nakokolweni ongakavunwa kanye nemivini neminqumo.
6AmaFilisti athi: “Ngubani owenze lokho na? Basebesithi: USamsoni, umkhwenyana womThimina, ngoba wathatha umkakhe, wamnika umngane wakhe. AmaFilisti akhuphuka, amshisa yena noyise ngomlilo.
7USamsoni wasesithi kubo: Lanxa likwenza lokhu, ngizaphindiselwa kini, ngibuye ngiyeke.
8Wabashaya ezinqeni nasezinqeni ngokugalela okukhulu, wehla wahlala esiqongweni sedwala lase-Etamu.
9AmaFilisti akhuphuka amisa kwaJuda, ahlakazeka eLehi.
10Abantu bakwaJuda base bethi: “Nisihambeleni na? Bathi: “Senyukela ukubopha uSamsoni, senze kuye njengalokho enzile kithi.”
11Base benyukela esiqongweni sedwala lase-Etamu abantu abayizinkulungwane ezintathu bakwaJuda, bathi kuSamsoni: “Awukwazi yini ukuthi amaFilisti ayabusa phezu kwethu na? yini lena osenze yona? Wathi kubo: “Njengoba benza kimi, ngenza kanjalo kubo.”
12Bathi kuye: “Sehlele ukukubopha, ukuze sikunikele esandleni samaFilisti.” USamsoni wathi kubo: Fungisani kimi, ukuthi aniyikungihlasela nina.
13Bakhuluma kuye, bathi: “Qha; kepha siyakubopha, sikunikele esandleni sabo; kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngeke sikubulale. Basebembopha ngezintambo ezimbili ezintsha, bamenyusela edwaleni.
14Lapho efika eLehi, amaFilisti amemeza ngokumelene naye, futhi uMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwakhe ngamandla, nezintambo ezazisezingalweni zakhe zaba njengefilakisi elishiswe ngomlilo, nezibopho zakhe zagqashuka ezandleni zakhe.
15Wafumana umhlathi wembongolo entsha, welula isandla sakhe, wawuthatha, wabulala ngawo inkulungwane yamadoda.
16Wayesethi uSamsoni: “Ngomhlathi wembongolo, izinqwaba ngezinqwaba, ngomhlathi wembongolo ngibulale inkulungwane abantu.”
17Kwathi eseqedile ukukhuluma, walahla umhlathi esandleni sakhe, wabiza leyo ndawo ngokuthi iRamatlehi.
18Futhi woma kakhulu futhi wabiza uJehova wathi: “Wena unike lokhu kukhululwa okukhulu esandleni senceku yakho; futhi manje ngizofa ngokoma futhi ngiwele esandleni sabangasokile na?
19Kodwa uNkulunkulu wadabula igodi elisemhlathini, kwaphuma amanzi kuyo; kwathi esephuzile, umoya wakhe wabuya, waphila; ngalokho waqamba igama layo ngokuthi i-Eni-Hakore, eseLehi kuze kube namuhla.
20Wahola u-Israyeli emihleni yamaFilisti iminyaka engamashumi amabili.
