士师记 15
1 过了些日子，到割麦子的时候，参孙带着一只山羊羔去看他的妻，说：“我要进内室见我的妻。”他岳父不容他进去，
After some days, during the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said to himself, “I will go to my wife's room.” But her father would not allow him to go in.
2 说：“我估定你是极其恨她，因此我将她给了你的陪伴。她的妹子不是比她还美丽吗？你可以娶来代替她吧！”
Her father said, “I really thought you hated her, so I gave her to your friend. Her younger sister is more beautiful than she is, is she not? Take her instead.”
3 参孙说：“这回我加害于非利士人不算有罪。”
Samson said to them, “This time I will be innocent in regard to the Philistines when I hurt them.”
4 于是参孙去捉了三百只狐狸，将狐狸尾巴一对一对地捆上，将火把捆在两条尾巴中间，
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes and he tied together each pair, tail to tail. Then he took torches and tied them in the middle of each pair of tails.
5 点着火把，就放狐狸进入非利士人站着的禾稼，将堆集的禾捆和未割的禾稼，并橄榄园尽都烧了。
When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and they set fire to both the stacked grain and the grain standing in the field, along with the vineyards and the olive orchards.
6 非利士人说：“这事是谁做的呢？”有人说：“是亭拿人的女婿参孙，因为他岳父将他的妻给了他的陪伴。”于是非利士人上去，用火烧了妇人和她的父亲。
The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” They were told, “Samson, the Timnite's son-in-law, did this because the Timnite took Samson's wife and gave her to his friend.” Then the Philistines went and burned up her and her father.
7 参孙对非利士人说：“你们既然这样行，我必向你们报仇才肯罢休。”
Samson said to them, “If this is what you do, I will get my revenge against you, and after that is done, I will stop.”
8 参孙就大大击杀他们，连腿带腰都砍断了。他便下去，住在以坦磐的穴内。
Then he cut them to pieces, hip and thigh, with a great slaughter. Then he went down and lived in a cave in the cliff of Etam.
9 非利士人上去安营在犹大，布散在利希。
Then the Philistines came up and they prepared for battle in Judah and set up their army in Lehi.
10 犹大人说：“你们为何上来攻击我们呢？”他们说：“我们上来是要捆绑参孙；他向我们怎样行，我们也要向他怎样行。”
The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up to attack us?” They said, “We are attacking so we may capture Samson, and do to him as he has done to us.”
11 于是有三千犹大人下到以坦磐的穴内，对参孙说：“非利士人辖制我们，你不知道吗？你向我们行的是什么事呢？”他回答说：“他们向我怎样行，我也要向他们怎样行。”
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam, and they said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this you have done to us?” Samson said to them, “They did to me, and so I have done to them.”
12 犹大人对他说：“我们下来是要捆绑你，将你交在非利士人手中。”参孙说：“你们要向我起誓，应承你们自己不害死我。”
They said to Samson, “We have come down to tie you up and give you into the hands of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
13 他们说：“我们断不杀你，只要将你捆绑交在非利士人手中。”于是用两条新绳捆绑参孙，将他从以坦磐带上去。
They said to him, “No, we will only tie you with ropes and hand you over to them. We promise we will not kill you.” Then they tied him up with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
14 参孙到了利希，非利士人都迎着喧嚷。耶和华的灵大大感动参孙，他臂上的绳就像火烧的麻一样，他的绑绳都从他手上脱落下来。
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting as they met him. Then Yahweh's Spirit came on him with power. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and they fell off his hands.
15 他见一块未干的驴腮骨，就伸手拾起来，用以击杀一千人。
Samson found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and he picked it up and killed a thousand men with it.
16 参孙说： 我用驴腮骨杀人成堆， 用驴腮骨杀了一千人。
Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men.”
17 说完这话，就把那腮骨从手里抛出去了。那地便叫拉末·利希。
When Samson finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone, and he called the place Ramath Lehi.
18 参孙甚觉口渴，就求告耶和华说：“你既借仆人的手施行这么大的拯救，岂可任我渴死、落在未受割礼的人手中呢？”
Samson was very thirsty and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great victory to your servant. But now will I die of thirst and fall into the hands of those who are uncircumcised?”
19 神就使利希的洼处裂开，有水从其中涌出来。参孙喝了，精神复原；因此那泉名叫隐·哈歌利，那泉直到今日还在利希。
God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi and water came out. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. So he called the name of that place En Hakkore, and it is at Lehi to this day.
20 当非利士人辖制以色列人的时候，参孙作以色列的士师二十年。
Samson judged Israel in the days of the Philistines for twenty years.
