Judges 14
1 And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.
Y descendiendo Sansón a Timnat, vio en Timnat a una mujer de las hijas de los filisteos.
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.
Y subió, y lo declaró a su padre y a su madre, diciendo: Yo he visto en Timnat una mujer de las hijas de los filisteos; os ruego que me la toméis por mujer.
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.
Y su padre y su madre le dijeron: ¿No hay mujer entre las hijas de tus hermanos, ni en todo mi pueblo, para que vayas tú a tomar mujer de los filisteos incircuncisos? Y Sansón respondió a su padre: Tómamela por mujer, porque ésta agradó a mis ojos.
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.
Mas su padre y su madre no sabían que esto venía del SEÑOR, y que él buscaba ocasión contra los filisteos; porque en aquel tiempo los filisteos dominaban sobre Israel.
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.
Y Sansón descendió con su padre y con su madre a Timnat; y cuando llegaron a las viñas de Timnat, he aquí un cachorro de león que venía bramando hacia él.
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.
Y el Espíritu del SEÑOR cayó sobre él, y lo despedazó como quien despedaza un cabrito, sin tener nada en su mano; y no dio a entender a su padre ni a su madre lo que había hecho.
7 And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
Vino pues, y habló a la mujer que había agradado a Sansón.
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.
Y volviendo después de algunos días para tomarla, se apartó del camino para ver el cuerpo muerto del león, y he aquí en el cuerpo del león un enjambre de abejas, y un panal de miel.
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.
Y tomándolo en sus manos, se fue comiéndolo por el camino; y cuando llegó a su padre y a su madre, les dio también a ellos que comiesen; mas no les descubrió que había tomado aquella miel del cuerpo muerto del león.
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.
Vino, pues, su padre a la mujer, y Sansón hizo allí banquete; porque así solían hacer los jóvenes.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
Y cuando ellos le vieron, tomaron treinta compañeros que estuviesen con él;
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.
a los cuales Sansón dijo: Yo os propondré ahora un enigma, el cual si en los siete días del banquete vosotros me declarareis y descubriereis, yo os daré treinta sábanas y treinta mudas de vestidos.
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.
Mas si no me lo supiereis declarar, vosotros me daréis las treinta sábanas y las treinta mudas de vestidos. Y ellos respondieron: Propon tu enigma, y lo oiremos.
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.
Entonces les dijo: Del devorador salió comida, y del fuerte salió dulzura. Y ellos no pudieron declararle el enigma en tres días.
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?
Y al séptimo día dijeron a la mujer de Sansón: Induce a tu marido a que nos declare este enigma, para que no te quememos a ti y a la casa de tu padre. ¿Nos habéis llamado aquí para despojarnos?
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?
Y lloró la mujer de Sansón delante de él, y dijo: Solamente me aborreces y no me amas, pues que no me declaras el enigma que propusiste a los hijos de mi pueblo. Y él respondió: He aquí que ni a mi padre ni a mi madre lo he declarado; y ¿ te lo había de declarar a ti?
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.
Y ella lloró delante de él los siete días que ellos tuvieron banquete; mas al séptimo día él se lo declaró, porque le constriñó a ello; y ella lo declaró a los hijos de su pueblo.
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 plowed with my heifer, you would not have known my riddle.
Y al séptimo día, antes que el sol se pusiese, los de la ciudad le dijeron: ¿Qué cosa hay más dulce que la miel? ¿Y qué cosa hay más fuerte que el león? Y él les respondió: Si no araseis con mi novilla, nunca hubierais descubierto mi enigma.
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.
Y el Espíritu del SEÑOR cayó sobre él, y descendió a Ascalón, e hirió a treinta hombres de ellos; y tomando sus despojos, dio las mudas de vestidos a los que habían explicado el enigma; y encendido en enojo se fue a casa de su padre.
20 And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
Y la mujer de Sansón fue dada a su compañero, con el cual él antes se acompañaba.
