Книга Судей израилевых 15
1 И бысть по днех во дни жатвы пшеницы, и посети Сампсон жену свою, несый козлище от коз, и рече: да вниду к жене моей в ложницу. И не даде ему отец ея внити.
And it came to pass after a time, in the days of the wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in.
2 И рече отец ея, глаголя: рех, яко ненавидя возненавидел еси ю, и отдах ю единому от другов твоих: не се ли сестра ея меншая добрейши ея есть? Да будет тебе ныне вместо ея.
And her father said, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hate her; therefore I gave her to thy companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Let her, I pray thee, be thine instead of her.
3 И рече ему Сампсон: чист есмь ныне от Филистимлян, яко сотворю аз с ними зло.
And Samson said to them, This time I am blameless toward the Philistines, though I do them harm.
4 И пойде Сампсон, и ят триста лисиц, и взя свещы, и связа ошиб ко ошибу, и устрои едину свещу между двема ошибома:
And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between the two tails.
5 и разжже огнь в свещах, и пусти я в нивы Филистимски: и запали нивы от гумен и даже до класов простых и до винограда и масличия.
And he set the torches on fire, and let [them] run into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, and the olive gardens.
6 И рекоша иноплеменницы: кто сотвори сия? И рекоша: Сампсон зять Фамнафеев, яко взя жену его и даде ю единому от другов его. И взыдоша иноплеменницы и сожгоша ю и дом отца ея огнем.
And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
7 И рече им Сампсон: аще и сотвористе вы тако ей, аз не благоизволю, но отмщение мое единому комуждо вас сотворю, и посем почию.
And Samson said to them, If ye act thus, for a certainty I will avenge myself on you, and then I will cease.
8 И порази их голени до бедр язвою велиею: и сниде, и вселися у водотечи в пещере камене Итама.
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the cliff Etam.
9 И изыдоша Филистимляне, и ополчишася во Иуде, и разсеяшася в Лехи.
And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 И рече им всяк муж Иудин: почто приидосте на ны? И рекоша иноплеменницы: связати Сампсона приидохом и сотворити ему, якоже сотвори нам.
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
11 И снидоша три тысящы мужей от Иуды к пещере камене Итама и рекоша к Сампсону: не веси ли, яко владеют нами Филистимляне? И вскую сия сотворил еси нам? И рече им Сампсон: якоже ми сотвориша, тако сотворих им.
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the cliff Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
12 И рекоша ему: связати тебе приидохом и предати тя в руце иноплеменником. И рече им Сампсон: кленитеся мне, да не убиете мене вы.
And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may give thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall on me yourselves.
13 И рекоша ему, глаголюще: ни, но токмо соузом свяжем тя и предадим тя в руки их, смертию же не умертвим тебе. И связаша его двема ужы новыми и изведоша его от камене того.
And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we certainly shall not put thee to death. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the cliff.
14 И той прииде до Челюсти: иноплеменницы же воскликнуша и текоша противу ему. И сниде на него Дух Господень, и быша ужя на мышцах его яко изгребие, егда зажжется огнем: и разрешишася узы его от руку его:
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and the cords that were on his arms became as threads of flax that are burned with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 и обрете челюсть ослю повержену, и простре руку свою, и взя ю: и изби ею тысящу мужей.
And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand and took it, and slew with it a thousand men.
16 И рече Сампсон: челюстию ослею потребляя потребих их, яко челюстию ослею избих тысящу мужей.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, a heap, two heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 И бысть егда преста глаголя, и поверже челюсть от руки своея: и нарече место тое Избиение Челюстное.
And it came to pass when he had ended speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi.
18 И возжажда зело, и возопи ко Господу, и рече: Ты благоволил еси в руце раба Твоего спасение великое сие, и ныне умираю жаждею, и впаду в руки необрезанных.
And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given by the hand of thy servant this great deliverance, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 И разверзе Бог язву на Челюсти, и изыде из нея вода, и пи: и возвратися дух его, и оживе: сего ради прозвася имя ей Источник призывающаго, иже есть в Челюсти, даже до дне сего.
And God clave the hallow rock which was in Lehi, and water came out of it. And he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
20 И суди Израилю во дни Филистимлян двадесять лет.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
