2 Ngelo xesha kwakukho ndoda ithile yaseTsora+ yentsapho yamaDan,+ kwaye igama layo yayinguManowa.+ Umfazi wayo wayeludlolo engazalanga mntwana.+

24 Kamva umfazi wazala unyana waza wambiza ngokuba nguSamson igama+ lakhe; yakhula inkwenkwe leyo, uYehova wayisikelela.+

8 Kwaye waya kuwaxabela, efumba imilenze phezu kwamathanga ngokubulala ngogonyamelo, emva koko wehla waza wahlala kwimfanta yengxondorha yase-Etam.+

20 Kwaye waqhubeka egweba uSirayeli kwimihla yamaFilisti iminyaka engamashumi amabini.+

30 Kwaye uSamson wathi: “Umphefumlo wam mawufe+ namaFilisti.” Ngoko wagoba ngamandla, yaye indlu yawela kwiinkosi ezimanyeneyo nakubo bonke abantu ababekuyo,+ kangangokuba abafileyo awababulalayo ekufeni kwakhe baba ngaphezu kwabo wayebabulele ngexesha lokudla kwakhe ubomi.+
