Fakamaau
16 ʻI he taimi ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Samisoni ki Kesa ʻo ne sio ai ki ha fefine feʻauaki, pea naʻá ne hū atu ki hono falé. 2 Naʻe tala ki he kau Kesá: “Kuo haʻu ki heni ʻa Samisoni.” Ko ia naʻa nau ʻātakaiʻi ia ʻi he poó kotoa ʻi he matapā ʻo e koló ke nau lapasi ia. Naʻa nau nofo fakalongolongo ai pē ʻi he pō kakato ko iá, ʻo nau pehē kiate kinautolu: “ʻI he maama hake pē ʻa e ʻahó, te tau tāmateʻi ia.”
3 Kae kehe, naʻe tokoto ai pē ʻi ai ʻa Samisoni ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻapoó. Naʻá ne tuʻu hake leva ʻi he tuʻapoó ʻo ne puke ʻa e ongo laumatapā ʻo e matapā ʻo e koló pea mo e ongo pou ʻi he tafaʻakí peá ne taʻaki ia fakataha mo hono meʻa-fakamaʻú. Naʻá ne hili ia ki hono umá pea fua hake ia ki he funga moʻunga ʻoku hanga atu ki Hepeloní.
4 ʻI he hili iá, naʻá ne hoko ʻo ʻofa ʻi ha fefine ʻi he Teleʻa* ko Sōlekí ʻa ia ko hono hingoá ko Tilila.+ 5 Ko ia naʻe fakaofiofi atu ʻa e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá kiate ia ʻo nau pehē: “Hanga ʻo kākaaʻi* ia+ pea feinga ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e fuʻu mālohi peheé pea mo e founga ʻe lava ke mau puke ai ia ʻo haʻi pea fakavaivaiʻi iá. ʻI he meʻá ni te mau taki taha ʻoatu ai kiate koe ha konga siliva ʻe 1,100.”
6 Naʻe pehē ai ki mui ʻe Tilila kia Samisoni: “Tala mai muʻa kiate au pe ʻoku haʻu mei fē ho fuʻu iví pea ko e hā ʻe lava ke haʻiʻaki koe pea fakavaivaiʻi ai koé.” 7 Naʻe pehē ʻe Samisoni kiate ia: “Kapau te nau haʻiʻaki au ha foʻi afo kaufana foʻou ʻe fitu kuo teʻeki ke fakamōmoa, te u hoko ai ʻo vaivai ʻo hangē pē ko ha tangata anga-mahení.” 8 Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá kiate ia ha foʻi afo kaufana foʻou ʻe fitu kuo teʻeki fakamōmoa, pea naʻá ne haʻiʻaki ia. 9 Ko ia naʻa nau toi ʻi he loki ʻi lotó ke lapasi ia, pea naʻe ui atu ʻa Tilila kiate ia: “Ko e kau Filisitiá ena te nau ʻohofi koe, Samisoni!” Ko ia naʻá ne motuhi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi afo kaufaná, ʻo hangē pē ko e motungofua ʻa ha filo falakesi ʻi heʻene lave ki he afí.+ Ko e fakapulipuli ʻo hono iví naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi.
10 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Tilila kia Samisoni: “Vakai! Kuó ke kākaaʻi au* peá ke lohiakiʻi au. Ko eni, tala mai muʻa pe ko e hā ʻe lava ke haʻiʻaki koé.” 11 Ko ia naʻá ne pehē ange ai kiate ia: “Kapau te nau haʻiʻaki au ha ngaahi maea foʻou kuo teʻeki ke ngāueʻaki, te u hoko ai ʻo vaivai ʻo hangē pē ko ha tangata anga-mahení.” 12 Ko ia naʻe toʻo ʻe Tilila ha ngaahi maea foʻou ʻo ne haʻiʻaki ia peá ne ui atu: “Ko e kau Filisitiá ena te nau ʻohofi koe, Samisoni!” (Lolotonga iá naʻe fai ha toi ʻi he loki ʻi lotó ke lapasi ia.) Ko ia naʻá ne motuhi ia mei hono nimá ʻo hangē pē ha ngaahi afó.+
13 ʻI he hili iá, naʻe pehē ʻe Tilila kia Samisoni: “Kuó ke kākaaʻi au ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimí ni peá ke lohiakiʻi au.+ Tala mai angé pe ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻe lava ke haʻiʻaki koé.” Naʻá ne pehē ange leva kiate ia: “Kapau te ke fī ʻa e ngaahi foʻi fī ʻe fitu ʻo hoku ʻulú ʻaki ʻa e filo lalanga fakalōloá.” 14 Ko ia naʻá ne fakamaʻu ia ʻaki ha pine* peá ne ui atu kiate ia: “Ko e kau Filisitiá ena te nau ʻohofi koe, Samisoni!” Ko ia naʻá ne ʻā hake mei heʻene mohé ʻo ne taʻaki ʻa e pine ʻo e meʻa-lalangá pea mo e filo lalanga fakalōloá.
15 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva kiate ia: “ʻOku anga-fēfē hoʻo pehē mai, ‘ʻOku ou ʻofa ʻiate koe,’+ lolotonga ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate au ho lotó? Ko e tuʻo tolu eni hoʻo kākaaʻi au pea kuo ʻikai te ke tala mai kiate au ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo ho fuʻu iví.”+ 16 Koeʻuhí naʻá ne hanganaki fakafiuʻi ia mo tenge ia ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻaho, naʻá ne kina ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻikai te ne kei makātakiʻi.+ 17 Ko ia naʻe faifai pē ʻo ne ʻaʻau hono lotó kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē: “Kuo ʻikai ʻaupito ke pā ha tele ki hoku ʻulú, koeʻuhí ko aú ko ha Nāsili ʻa e ʻOtuá mei hoku fanauʻí.*+ Kapau ʻe tele hoku ʻulú, ʻe mole meiate au hoku iví pea te u hoko ʻo vaivai peá u hangē pē ko e kotoa ʻo e kau tangata kehé.”
18 ʻI he sio ʻa Tilila kuó ne ʻaʻau ange kiate ia ʻa hono lotó, naʻá ne ui leva ʻa e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá,+ ʻo ne pehē: “Mou omi he taimí ni, he kuó ne ʻaʻau mai hono lotó kiate au.” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá kiate ia, ʻo nau ʻalu atu mo e paʻangá. 19 Naʻá ne ʻai ia ke ne mohe ʻi hono fungá; naʻá ne ui leva ha tangata ʻo ne ʻai ia ke ne tele ʻa e ngaahi foʻi fī ʻe fitu ʻo hono ʻulú. ʻI he hili iá, naʻe kamata ke ne puleʻi ia, he naʻe mole meiate ia hono iví. 20 Naʻá ne ui atu leva: “Ko e kau Filisitiá ena te nau ʻohofi koe, Samisoni!” Naʻá ne ʻā hake mei heʻene mohé ʻo ne pehē: “Te u hū atu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi taimi ko eé+ ʻo u tupetupeʻi.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo kuo mavahe ʻa Sihova meiate ia. 21 Ko ia naʻe puke ia ʻe he kau Filisitiá ʻo kapeʻi hono ongo foʻi matá. Naʻa nau ʻohifo leva ia ki Kesa pea nau haʻi ia ʻaki ha ongo meʻa-haʻi kopa, pea naʻá ne hoko ko ha tokotaha momosi uite ʻi he pilīsoné. 22 Ka naʻe kamata ke toe tupu mai hono louʻulú ʻi he hili hono tele iá.+
23 Naʻe fakatahataha ʻa e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá ke fai ha fuʻu feilaulau kia Tākoni+ ko honau ʻotuá pea ke nau fakafiefia, he naʻa nau pehē: “Kuo tuku mai ʻe hotau ʻotuá ʻa Samisoni ko hotau filí ki hotau nimá!” 24 ʻI he sio kiate ia ʻa e kakaí, naʻa nau fakahīkihikiʻi honau ʻotuá ʻo nau pehē: “Kuo tuku mai ʻe hotau ʻotuá hotau filí ki hotau nimá, ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne fakaʻauha hotau fonuá+ mo tāmateʻi ha fuʻu tokolahi ʻo kitautolu.”+
25 Koeʻuhí naʻe fiefia honau lotó, naʻa nau pehē: “Ui mai ʻa Samisoni ke ne fai ha meʻa ke tau oliʻia ai.” Ko ia naʻa nau ui mai ʻa Samisoni mei he pilīsoné ke fakafiefiaʻi kinautolu; naʻa nau ʻai ia ke ne tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ongo fuʻu pou. 26 Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe Samisoni ki he tamasiʻi naʻá ne puke hono nimá: “ʻAi au ke u fāfā ki he ongo fuʻu pou ʻokú na pukepuke ʻa e falé, koeʻuhí ke u lava ʻo falala atu ki ai.” 27 (Kae kehe, naʻe fonu ʻa e falé ʻi he kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine. Naʻe ʻi ai kotoa ʻa e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo e kau Filisitiá, pea ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he falé naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine ʻe toko 3,000 nai ʻa ia naʻa nau mamata mei ai lolotonga hono fai ʻe Samisoni ʻa e meʻa ke nau oliʻia aí.)
28 Naʻe tautapa leva ʻa Samisoni+ kia Sihova: “ʻEiki Hau Sihova, manatuʻi muʻa au, peá ke fakaivimālohiʻi muʻa au,+ ʻe ʻOtua, ʻo tā-tuʻo-tahá ni, pea tuku ke u fai ha sāuni ki he kau Filisitiá koeʻuhi ko e taha ʻo hoku ongo foʻi matá.”+
29 Naʻe maleʻei atu leva ʻa Samisoni ki he ongo fuʻu pou ʻi loto-mālie naʻá na pukepuke ʻa e falé, ʻo ne tekenaki hono nima toʻomataʻú ʻi he fuʻu pou ʻe taha pea ko hono nima toʻohemá ʻi he fuʻu pou ʻe tahá. 30 Naʻe kalanga ʻa Samisoni: “Tuku ke u mate fakataha mo e kau Filisitiá!” Naʻá ne tekeʻi leva ia ʻaki hono mālohí kotoa, pea naʻe holo hifo ʻa e falé ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikí mo e kakai kotoa ʻi aí.+ Ko ia naʻe tokolahi ange ʻa e faʻahinga naʻá ne tāmateʻi ʻi heʻene maté ʻi he faʻahinga naʻá ne tāmateʻi lolotonga ʻene moʻuí.+
31 Ki mui ai, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa hono fanga tokouá mo e fāmili kotoa ʻo ʻene tamaí ke ʻave ia. Naʻa nau ʻohake ia ʻo tanu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sola+ mo ʻEsitaolí ʻi he fonualoto ʻo Mānoa+ ko ʻene tamaí. Naʻá ne fakamaau ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe 20.+
