Judges 14
1 And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.
Samson je odšel dol v Timno in v Timni zagledal žensko izmed filistejskih hčera.
2 And he went up and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a wife.
Prišel je gor in svojemu očetu in svoji materi povedal ter rekel: »V Timni sem videl žensko izmed filistejskih hčera. Sedaj mi jo torej vzemita za ženo.«
3 And his father and his mother said to him, Are there no daughters of your brethren, and [is there not] a woman of all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she [is] right in my eyes.
Potem sta mu njegov oče in njegova mati rekla: » Ali tam ni nobene ženske med hčerami tvojih bratov ali med vsem mojim ljudstvom, da greš, da si vzameš ženo izmed neobrezanih Filistejcev?« Samson je rekel svojemu očetu: »Njo mi vzemi, kajti ta mi ugaja.«
4 And his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.
Toda njegov oče in njegova mati nista vedela, da je bilo to od Gospoda, da je iskal priložnost zoper Filistejce, kajti ob tistem času so imeli Filistejci gospostvo nad Izraelom.
5 And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha; and behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.
Potem so Samson, njegov oče in njegova mati odšli dol v Timno in prišli do timnatskih vinogradov in glej, proti njemu je zarjovel mlad lev.
6 And the spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father and his mother what he had done.
Gospodov Duh je mogočno prišel nadenj in raztrgal ga je, kakor bi raztrgal kozliča in ničesar ni imel v svoji roki, toda svojemu očetu ali svoji materi ni povedal, kaj je storil.
7 And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
Odšel je dol in govoril z žensko in Samsonu je ugajala.
8 And after some time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees, and honey [were] in the mouth of the lion.
Čez nekaj časa se je vrnil, da jo vzame in zavil je stran, da pogleda levje truplo in glej, tam je bil roj čebel in med v levjem truplu.
9 And he took it into his hands, and went on eating, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out of the mouth of the lion.
Od tega je vzel v svoje roke in jedoč šel naprej in prišel k svojemu očetu in materi ter jima dal in onadva sta jedla. Toda ni jima povedal, da je med vzel iz levjega trupla.
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young men are used to do.
Tako je njegov oče odšel dol k ženski in Samson je tam priredil zabavo, kajti tako so imeli mladeniči navado delati.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
Pripetilo se je, ko so ga zagledali, da so privedli trideset družabnikov, da bi bili z njim.
12 And Sampson said to them, I propound you a riddle: if you will indeed tell it me, and discover it within the seven days of the feast, I will you give thirty sheets and thirty changes of raiment.
Samson jim je rekel: »Sedaj vam bom zastavil uganko. Če mi jo lahko v sedmih dneh praznovanja zagotovo razodenete in jo odkrijete, potem vam bom dal trideset rjuh in trideset zamenjav oblek,
13 And if you can’t tell it me, you shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said to him, Propound your riddle, and we will hear it.
toda če mi je ne morete oznaniti, potem mi boste vi dali trideset rjuh in trideset zamenjav oblek.« Rekli so mu: »Zastavi svojo uganko, da jo bomo lahko slišali.«
14 And he said to them, Meat came forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not tell the riddle for three days.
Rekel jim je: »Iz jedca je prišla hrana in iz močnega je izšla sladkost.« In v treh dneh niso mogli pojasniti uganke.
15 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now your husband, and let him tell you the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: did you invite us to do us violence?
Pripetilo se je na sedmi dan, da so Samsonovi ženi rekli: »Premami svojega soproga, da nam lahko oznani uganko, sicer bomo tebe in hišo tvojega očeta zažgali z ognjem. Ali ste nas poklicali, da vzamete kar imamo? Mar ni tako?«
16 And Sampson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not; for the riddle which you have propounded to the children of my people you have not told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and my mother, shall I tell it to you?
Samsonova žena je jokala pred njim ter rekla: »Ti me le sovražiš in me ne ljubiš. Otrokom mojega ljudstva si zastavil uganko, meni pa je nisi povedal.« Rekel ji je: »Glej, nisem je povedal svojemu očetu niti svoji materi in jo bom povedal tebi?«
17 And she wept before him the seven days, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it to the children of her people.
Pred njim je jokala sedem dni, dokler je trajala njihova zabava in pripetilo se je na sedmi dan, da ji je povedal, ker je boleče pritiskala nanj in uganko je povedala otrokom svojega ljudstva.
18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day, before sunrise, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you would not have known my riddle.
Možje iz mesta so mu sedmi dan, preden je sonce zašlo, rekli: »Kaj je slajše od meda? In kaj je močnejše kakor lev?« Rekel jim je: »Če ne bi orali z mojo telico, ne bi odkrili moje uganke.«
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and went up to the house of his father.
In Gospodov Duh je prišel nadenj in odšel je dol v Aškelón in izmed njih usmrtil trideset mož, vzel njihov plen in dal zamenjavo oblačil tistim, ki so pojasnili uganko. Njegova jeza je bila vžgana in odšel je gor do hiše svojega očeta.
20 And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
Toda Samsonova žena je bila dana njegovemu družabniku, ki ga je uporabil kakor svojega prijatelja.
