Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
E desceu Sansão a Timnatha: e, vendo em Timnatha a uma mulher das filhas dos philisteus,
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
Subiu, e declarou-o a seu pai e sua mãe, e disse: Vi uma mulher em Timnatha, das filhas dos philisteus; agora pois, tomai-ma por mulher.
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
Porém seu pai e sua mãe lhe disseram: Não há porventura mulher entre as filhas de teus irmãos, nem entre todo o meu povo, para que tu vás tomar mulher dos philisteus, daqueles incircuncisos? E disse Sansão a seu pai: tomai-me esta, porque ela agrada aos meus olhos
4 But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
Mas seu pai e sua mãe não sabiam que isto vinha do Senhor; pois buscava ocasião dos philisteus: porquanto naquele tempo os philisteus dominavam sobre Israel.
5 Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
Desceu pois Sansão com seu pai e com sua mãe a Timnatha: e, chegando às vinhas de Timnatha, eis que um filho de leão, bramando, lhe saiu ao encontro.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Então o espírito do Senhor se apossou dele tão possantemente que o fendeu do alto a baixo, como quem fende um cabrito, sem ter nada na sua mão: porém nem a seu pai nem a sua mãe deu a saber o que tinha feito.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
E desceu, e falou àquela mulher, e agradou aos olhos de Sansão.
8 After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
E depois de alguns dias voltou ele para a tomar: e, apartando-se do caminho a ver o corpo do leão morto, eis que no corpo do leão havia um enxame de abelhas com mel.
9 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
E tomou-o nas suas mãos, e foi-se andando e comendo dele; e foi-se a seu pai e a sua mãe, e deu-lhes dele, e comeram, porém não lhes deu a saber que tomara o mel do corpo do leão.
10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
Descendo pois seu pai àquela mulher, fez Sansão ali um banquete; porque assim o costumavam fazer os mancebos.
11 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
E sucedeu que, como o vissem, tomaram trinta companheiros para estarem com ele.
12 Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
Disse-lhes pois Sansão: Vos darei um enigma a adivinhar: e, se nos sete dias das bodas mo declarardes e descobrirdes, vos darei trinta lençois e trinta mudas de vestidos.
13 But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
E, se mo não poderdes declarar, vós me dareis a mim os trinta lençois e as trinta mudas de vestidos. E eles lhe disseram: Dá-nos o teu enigma a adivinhar, para que o ouçamos.
14 He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
Então lhes disse: Do comedor saiu comida, e doçura saiu do forte. E em três dias não puderam declarar o enigma.
15 And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
E sucedeu que, ao sétimo dia, disseram à mulher de Sansão: Persuade a teu marido que nos declare o enigma, para que porventura não queimemos a fogo a ti e à casa de teu pai: chamastes-nos vós aqui para possuir o que é nosso, não é assim?
16 Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
E a mulher de Sansão chorou diante dele, e disse: Tão somente me aborreces, e não me amas; pois deste aos filhos do meu povo um enigma a adivinhar, e ainda mo não declaraste a mim. E ele lhe disse: Eis que nem a meu pai nem a minha mãe o declarei, e to declararia a ti?
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
E chorou diante dele os sete dias em que celebravam as bodas: sucedeu pois que ao sétimo dia lho declarou, porquanto o importunava; então ela declarou o enigma aos filhos do seu povo.
18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
Disseram-lhe pois os homens daquela cidade, ao sétimo dia, antes de se pôr o sol: Que coisa há mais doce do que o mel? e que coisa há mais forte do que o leão? E ele lhes disse: Se vós não lavrasseis com a minha novilha, nunca terieis descoberto o meu enigma.
19 The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
Então o espírito do Senhor tão possantemente se apossou dele, que desceu aos ascalonitas, e matou deles trinta homens, e tomou os seus vestidos, e deu as mudas de vestidos aos que declararam o enigma: porém acendeu-se a sua ira, e subiu à casa de seu pai
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
E a mulher de Sansão foi dada ao seu companheiro que o acompanhava.
