USamsoni wathi kubo: Ake ngininike imfumbe; uma ningitshela yona kahle ngezinsuku eziyisikhombisa zedili , niyiqandele, ngiyakuninika amayembe angamashumi amathathu nezingubo zokuphendulela ezingamashumi amathathu;

kepha uma ningenakuyiqandela kimi , niyakunginika amayembe angamashumi amathathu nezingubo zokuphendulela ezingamashumi amathathu. Bathi kuye: Yisho imfumbe yakho ukuba siyizwe.

Wayesethi kubo : Kodlayo kwaphuma ukudla , konamandla kwavela okumnandi. Babengenakuyiqandela imfumbe ngezinsuku ezintathu.

Kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa bathi kumkaSamsoni: Yenza umyeni wakho ukuba asichasisele imfumbe , funa sikushise wena nendlu kayihlo ngomlilo ; nisimemele ukuba nisidle na? Akunjalo na?

UmkaSamsoni wakhala phambi kwakhe , wathi: Uyangizonda kuphela , awungithandi; unikile abakithi imfumbe, awungitshelanga yona. Wathi kuye: Bheka, angibatshelanga ubaba nomame, ngiyakukutshela wena na?

Wakhala phambi kwakhe izinsuku eziyisikhombisa , lisekhona idili labo ; kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa wayesemtshela, ngokuba wamcindezela kakhulu; wayisho imfumbe kwabakubo.

Abantu bom uzi bathi kuye ngosuku lwesikhombisa , lingakashoni ilanga : Kuyini okumnandi kunezinyosi ? Kuyini okunamandla kunengonyama na ? Wathi kubo: Uma beningalimanga ngesithokazi sami , ngabe ningayiqandelanga imfumbe yami.

UMoya kaJehova wafika kuye ngamandla , wehlela e-Ashikeloni, wabulala abantu abangamashumi amathathu kubo , wathatha isambatho sabo , wabanika abayiqandele imfumbe izingubo zokuphendulela. Intukuthelo yakhe yavutha, wenyukela endlini kayise.

Ngizakubeka indlebe yami kuso isaga, ngiphenye imfumbe yami ngehabhu.

Ndodana yomuntu , yisho imfumbe , ukhulume ngomfanekiso kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli,
