16 Awe Samsone aile ku Gasa+ no kumona umwanakashi cilende kulya no kuya ku mwakwe.+
2 Kabili bamo bashimikile abena Gasa, abati: “Samsone naisa kuno.” Awe e pa kumushinguluka+ no kumubelamina ubushiku bonse mu mpongolo ya musumba.+ Awe baikele fye tondolo ubushiku bonse, abati: “Nga bwaca fye, twalamwipaya.”+
3 Lelo, Samsone alisendeme ukufika ubushiku pa kati kabili pa kati ka bushiku alimine no kwikata ifiibi fya ku mpongolo+ ya musumba ne nceshi shibili isha mpongolo no kufinukwila pamo no mupindo no kufibika pa mabeya yakwe no kufisenda+ pa muulu wa lupili ulwaba ku ntanshi ya Hebrone.+
4 Nomba pa numa atemenwe umwanakashi wa ku mumana wa Soreke, ishina lyakwe ni Delila.+
5 Kabili bakateka+ ba baPelishiti baishile ku mwanakashi no kumweba abati: “Musembeleke+ no kumona ni kwi kwaba amaka yakwe ayafule ifi ne co twingamwanshishako ne co twingamukakilako pa kuti tumunashe; kabili ifwe cila muntu tukakupeela indalama sha silfere ikana limo (1,000).”+
6 Pa numa Delila atile kuli Samsone: “Njebeni, Ni mwi mwaba amaka yenu ayafula ifi kabili cinshi mwingakakilwako pa kuti umuntu amunashe?”+
7 Awe Samsone amwebele ati: “Nga bankaka ne nshinga ishibishi cinelubali (7) ishishauma, kuti nanaka no kuba nge fyaba abantu bonse.”
8 E ico bakateka+ ba baPelishiti bamuleteele inshinga ishibishi cinelubali (7) ishishauma. E lyo amukakile na sho.
9 Nomba abamubelamine baikele mu muputule wakwe uwa mu kati,+ kabili umwanakashi atile: “Samsone, wafwa abaPelishiti+ abo baisa!” E lyo aputwile inshinga, filya umwando wabola uputuka ilyo wakumya ku mulilo.+ Kabili tabaishibe ukwalefuma amaka yakwe.+
10 E lyo Delila+ atile kuli Samsone: “Moneni! Mwantumfya pa kumbepa ubufi.+ Nomba njebeni ico bengamukakilako.”
11 E ico amwebele ati: “Nga bankaka sana ne myando ipya iishatala aibomfiwa, kuti nanaka no kuba ngo muntu onse.”
12 E ico Delila abuulile imyando ipya no kumukaka no kutila: “Samsone, wafwa abaPelishiti abo baisa!” Ili lyonse ninshi abamubelamine bekele mu muputule wa mu kati.+ E lyo aputwile imyando ku maboko yakwe kwati bushishi.+
13 E lyo Delila atile kuli Samsone: “Ukufika na nomba mulentumfya fye ukulambepa ubufi.+ Njebeni ico mwingakakwako.”+ Na o amwebele ati: “Nga wanduka ifikuti cinelubali (7) ifya ku mutwe wandi no bushishi.”+
14 Awe afikakiile ku lupoopo, e lyo atile: “Samsone, wafwa abaPelishiti abo baisa!”+ Na o ashibwike mu tulo no kufumya ulupoopo no bushishi.
15 Nomba umwanakashi atile: “Kuti mwatila shani, ‘Nalikutemwa,’+ apo umutima wenu tawaba na ine? Iyi miku itatu mulantumfya no kukananjeba umwaba amaka yenu ayafula ifi.”+
16 Nomba apo alimupatikishe+ ku mashiwi yakwe inshita yonse no kumupamfya, alicushiwe cikanga ne mfwa.+
17 Asukile amweba fyonse ifyali mu mutima+ wakwe no kutila: “Nshatalabeya umushishi,+ pantu ndi muNasiri wa kwa Lesa ukufuma fye mwi fumo lya kwa mayo.+ Nga bambeya umushishi, amaka yandi na yo kuti yafuma muli ine, kabili kuti nanaka no kuba nge fyaba abantu bonse.”+
18 Ilyo Delila amwene ukuti alimusokolwelele fyonse ifyali mu mutima wakwe, apo pene fye atumine aba kwita bakateka ba baPelishiti,+ ati: “Iseni uno muku, pantu nanjeba fyonse ifyaba mu mutima wakwe.”+ Kabili bakateka ba baPelishiti baile kuli ena ukuti bamupeele indalama.+
19 Kabili amulengele ukulaala utulo pa makufi yakwe. E lyo aitile umwaume kabili amubeyele ifikuti cinelubali (7) ifya ku mutwe wakwe, e lyo amunashishe, na maka yakwe yalipwile.
20 Nomba umwanakashi atile: “Samsone, wafwa abaPelishiti abo baisa!” Awe alishibwike mu tulo twakwe no kutila: “Nalafuma nga filya ncita lyonse+ no kuipususha.” Lelo taishibe ukuti Yehova alimushile.+
21 E ico abaPelishiti balimwikete no kumutonkola amenso+ no kumuleta ku Gasa+ no kumukaka iminyololo ya mukuba; + kabili alebomba umulimo wa kupela+ mu cifungo.+
22 Nomba umushishi wakwe watendeke ukumena bwino bwino ilyo fye bamubeyele.+
23 Bakateka ba baPelishiti balongene pamo pa kuti bapeele ilambo likalamba kuli Dagone+ lesa wabo no kuti basekelele, kabili baleti: “Lesa wesu napeela mu minwe yesu Samsone umulwani wesu!”+
24 Ilyo abantu bamumwene, apo pene batendeke ukulumbanya lesa wabo,+ baleti “pantu lesa wesu napeela mu minwe yesu umulwani+ wesu kabili uwaleonaula icalo+ cesu kabili uwaipeye abantu besu abengi.”+
25 Nomba ico imitima yabo yalesekelela,+ balasosa abati: “Iteni Samsone uleke atusansamusheko.”+ E ico baitile Samsone ukufuma mu cifungo ukuti acite ifyangalo ku cinso cabo;+ kabili bamwimike pa kati ka nceshi shibili.
26 E lyo Samsone atile ku mulumendo wamwikete ku kuboko: “Leka njikate ku nceshi isho ino ng’anda yaikalapo kabili leka nshintilileko.”
27 (Nomba, mu ng’anda mwaiswile abaume na banakashi na bakateka bonse aba baPelishiti e mo bali;+ kabili pa mutenge pali abaume na banakashi nalimo amakana yatatu (3,000) abaletamba ilyo Samsone alebasekesha.)+
28 Samsone+ nomba alilile kuli Yehova+ no kutila: “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova, napapaata njibukisheni+ no kunkosha+ uno muku fye, mwe Lesa wa cine, no kuleka njilandule pa baPelishiti pa linso lyandi limo.”+
29 E lyo Samsone ashintilile ku nceshi shibili isha pa kati apo ing’anda yaikele, no kwikata lumo ku kuboko kwa ku kulyo na lumbi ku kwa ku kuso.
30 Kabili Samsone atile: “Lekeni mfwile+ pamo na baPelishiti.” E lyo asunkile na maka, ne ng’anda yawilile bakateka na bantu bonse abalimo,+ ica kuti abafwile abo aipeye pa mfwa yakwe balifulile ukucila abo aipeye ilyo ali uwa mweo.+
31 Pa numa bamunyina na bonse aba mu ng’anda ya kwa wishi balishile no kumwimya e lyo bamusendele no kuyamushiika pa kati ka Sora+ na Eshtaole+ mu nshiishi ya kwa Manoa+ wishi. Kabili apingwile abena Israele pa myaka amakumi yabili (20).+
