1 Esiku limwe konima Simson okwa yi, a ka talele po omukadhi pethimbo lyeteyo lyosiima nokwa faalele onkombwena. Okwa ti kuhemweno: “Onda hala okuya kumukadhandje.”
Ihe hemweno ine mu pitika. 2 Okwa ti kuSimson: “Onda li ndi shi, owe mu tondo nokuli, nomolwashoka onde mu gandja koshinkumbi shoye. Ihe opu na omumwayina ondenge ye omwaanawa e mu vule. Oye kutha po, a ninge gwoye.”
3 Simson okwa ti: “Ngashingeyi kandi na we mbedhi, ngele tandi geele Aafilisti.” 4 Okwa yi nokuli e ta kwata oombandje omathele gatatu. Okwa kutha oombandje oombali noombali, nomishila dhadho okwe dhi mangele kumwe e ta tula ko onyeka. 5 Nena okwe dhi tidhile momapya gAafilisti e dhi tomeka omulilo. Pamukalo nguka okwa fike po oondudhi adhihe niilya wo mbyoka inaayi teywa manga, osho wo iitsambe yomiviinu nooholivi ndhoka hadhi zi omagadhi. 6 Aafilisti sho ya pulathana kutya olye a ningi ngeyi, oya koneke kutya nani oSimson e shi ningi, oshoka hemweno gwokuTimna okwa gandja omufuko gwe koshinkumbi she. Aafilisti oya yi e taa fike po omufuko negumbo lyahe.
7 Simson okwe ya lombwele. “Omwa ningi nayi! Oshili ite mwena, manga inaandi mu galulila ondjambi yeni!” 8 Okwe ya mbolokotele e te ya vunyagula, noyendji yomuyo okwe ya dhipaga. Nena okwa yi e ta kala mekololo lyemanya puEtam.
Simson ta sindi Aafilisti
9 Aafilisti oye ya noya yungu ontanda muJuda e taa matukile oshilando Lehi. 10 Aajuda oye ya pula: “Omolwashike tamu tu matukile?”
Oya yamukula ya ti: “Otwe ya, tu kwate Simson, tu mu tule meti, tu mu ningile, ngaashi e tu ningile.” 11 Nena aalumentu omayuvi gatatu gaJuda oya yi kekololo lyemanya puEtam e taa ti kuSimson: “Ku shi shi kutya Aafilisti oyo aapangeli yetu? Owe tu ningi ngiini?”
Okwa yamukula: “Onde ya ningile naanaa shoka ya ningile ndje.”
12 Aalumentu oya ti: “Otwe ya, tu ku mange, tse tu ku gandje kuyo.”
Simson okwa ti: “Ganenii ndje, mwaa dhipage ndje ne yene.”
13 Oyo ya ti kuye: “Onawa, otatu ku manga ashike e tatu ku gandja miikaha yawo. Itatu ku dhipaga.” Oye mu manga noongodhi oompe noye mu kutha mo mekololo.
14 Sho ye ya kuLehi, Aafilisti oye mu matukile taye mu igidha. Ohaluka oonkondo dhOmuwa odhe ya muye, e ta tokola oongodhi dha li dhe mu manga komaako nokiikaha dha li dha fa oondali dha pya komulilo. 15 Nena okwa mono oluyego lwokasino opo ka sile. Okwa petama e te lu toola po e ta dhipaga nalwo aalumentu eyuvi limwe. 16 Simson nokwi imbi eimbilo tali ti:
“Aalumentu eyuvi limwe onde ya dhipaga noluyego lwokasino;
onoluyego lwokasino onde ya ndumbike mondumba.”
17 Konima yaambika okwe ekelehi oluyego lwokasino. Ehala mpoka pwa ningilwa mbika, olya lukwa Ramat Lehi.
18 Simson sho a li e endjwa mo kenota, okwi ithana Omuwa e ta ti: “Ongoye wa pe ndje esindano ndika ekumithi, ihe ngashingeyi oto etha, ndi se kenota ngaye ndi kwatwe kaapagani mbano Aafilisti.” 19 Nena Kalunga okwe egulula olumbogo mevi puLehi, nomeya oga fuluka mo. Simson okwe ga nu e ta talalelwa noku uvite nawa. Oluthithiya nduka olwa lukwa Hakkore; olu li sigo onena puLehi.
20 Simson okwa wilike Israel omimvo omilongo mbali, manga Aafilisti ya li taa pangele evi.
