| 1. | Wehla uSamson waya eTimnata, wabona inkazana eTimnata, ezintombini zamaFilisti. |
| 2. | Wenyuka, waxelela uyise nonina, wathi, Ndibone inkazana eTimnata, ezintombini zamaFilisti; kaloku ke ndizekeleni ibe ngumfazi. |
| 3. | Bathi kuye uyise nonina, Akukho nkazana ezintombini zabazalwana bakho, nasebantwini bakowethu bonke na, ukuba nje ude uye kuzeka umfazi kumaFilisti angalukileyo? Wathi uSamson kuyise, Ndizekele yona, ngokuba ndikholiwe yiyo. |
| 4. | Uyise nonina babengazi ukuba ivela kuYehova le nto; ngokuba ebefuna ithuba lokubambana namaFilisti. Ngelo xesha amaFilisti ebelawula kwaSirayeli. |
| 5. | Wehla uSamson noyise nonina, baya eTimnata, bafika ezidiliyeni zaseTimnata; nantso ingonyama entsha imkhawulela, igquma. |

| 8. | Wabuya kwakuba ntsuku, esiya kuyizeka. Watyeka, wakhangela isidumbu sengonyama leya; nalo ibubu leenyosi lisesidumbini sengonyama, kukho nobusi. |
| 9. | Wabuthabatha, waphatha ngesandla, wahamba, wahamba esidla, waya kuyise nonina, wabanika, badla; akabaxelela ukuba ubusi ubuthabathe esidumbini sengonyama. |

| 11. | Kwathi, bakumbona, bazisa abalingane abangamashumi omathathu, baba naye. |
| 12. | Wathi uSamson kubo, Ndonijikela iqhina; ukuba nithe nandicombululela ngeentsuku ezisixhenxe zomsitho, nalifumana, ndoninika iingubo zelinen entle ezingamashumi amathathu, neengubo zokukhululana ezingamashumi omathathu. |
| 13. | Ke ukuba anithanga nibe nako ukundicombululela, nondinika nina iingubo zelinen entle ezingamashumi amathathu, neengubo zokukhululana ezingamashumi omathathu. Bathi kuye, Lijike iqhina lakho silive. |
| 14. | Bathi kuye, Lijike iqhina lakho silive. Wathi kubo, Kodlayo kwaphuma ukudla, Konamandla kwaphuma incasa. Ababa nako ukulicombulula iqhina imihla emithathu. |
| 15. | Kwathi ngosuku lwesixhenxe bathi kumkaSamson, Yirhwebeshe indoda yakho, isicombululele iqhina, hleze sikutshise wena nendlu kayihlo ngomlilo. Nisimemele ukuba nisihlwempuzise na? Akunjalo na? |
| 16. | UmkaSamson wamlilela wathi, Kodwa undithiyile, akundithandi; ubajikele iqhina oonyana babantu bakowethu, akwandicombululela. Wathi kuye, Yabona, andibacombululelanga ubawo noma; ndicombululele wena na? |
| 17. | Ke wamlilela iintsuku zosixhenxe ababesemsithweni ngazo. Kwathi ngolwesixhenxe usuku wamcombululela, kuba ebemxinile. Waza yena wabaxela oonyana babantu bakowabo. |
| 18. | Athi kuye amadoda aloo mzi ngomhla wesixhenxe, lingekatshoni ilanga, Yintoni na enencasa ngaphezu kobusi? Yintoni na enamandla ngaphezu kwengonyama? Wathi kuwo, Ukuba beningalimanga ngethokazi lam, Ngeningalifumananga iqhina lam. |
| 19. | Wamfikela ngamandla uMoya kaYehova, wehla waya eAshkelon, wabulala kubo apho amashumi omathathu amadoda, wawahluba iingubo, wanika abacombululi beqhina elo iingubo zokukhululana. Wavutha umsindo wakhe, wenyuka waya endlwini kayise. |
| 20. | Ke umkaSamson waba ngowomlingane wakhe, abemenze isihlobo sakhe. |
