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.
Y descendiendo Sansón a Timnat, vio en Timnat a una mujer de las hijas de los filisteos.
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."
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 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."
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 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 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 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.
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 Ruach 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.
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 He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
Vino pues, y habló a la mujer que había agradado a Sansón.
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.
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 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.
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 His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
Vino, pues, su padre a la mujer, y Sansón hizo allí banquete; porque así solían hacer los jóvenes.
11 It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Y cuando ellos le vieron, tomaron treinta compañeros que estuviesen con él;
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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 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?"
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 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?"
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 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.
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 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."
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 The Ruach 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.
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 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Y la mujer de Sansón fue dada a su compañero, con el cual él antes se acompañaba.
