Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
И сиђе Самсон у Тамнат, и виде онде једну девојку између кћери филистејских.
2 And 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 to wife.
И вративши се каза оцу свом и матери својој говорећи: Видех девојку у Тамнату између кћери филистејских; ожените ме њом.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
А отац и мати рекоше му: Зар нема девојке међу кћерима твоје браће у свем народу мом, да идеш да се ожениш између Филистеја необрезаних? А Самсон одговори оцу свом: Њом ме ожени, јер ми је она омилела.
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
А отац и мати његова не знаху да је то од Господа, и да тражи задевицу с Филистејима; јер у оно време Филистеји владаху синовима Израиљевим.
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
И тако сиђе Самсон с оцем својим и с матером својом у Тамнат, и кад дођоше до винограда тамнатских, гле, млад лав ричући сукоби га.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
И дух Господњи сиђе на њ, те растрже лава као јаре немајући ништа у руци: и не каза оцу ни матери шта је учинио.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
И тако дошавши говори с девојком, и она омиле Самсону.
8 And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
А после неколико дана идући опет да је одведе, сврне да види мртвог лава; а гле, у мртвом лаву рој пчела и мед.
9 And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
И извади га у руку, и пође путем једући; и кад дође к оцу и матери, даде им те једоше; али им не рече да је из мртвог лава извадио мед.
10 And his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
И тако дође отац његов к оној девојци, и Самсон учини онде весеље, јер тако чињаху момци.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
И кад га видеше Филистеји, изабраше тридесет другова да буду с њим.
12 And Samson said unto them, Let me now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can declare it unto me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
И рече им Самсон: Ја ћу вам загонетнути загонетку, па ако ми је одгонетнете за седам дана док је весеље и погодите, даћу вам тридесет кошуља и тридесет свечаних хаљина.
13 but if ye cannot declare it unto me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
Ако ли не одгонетнете, ви ћете дати мени тридесет кошуља и тридесеторе свечане хаљине. А они му рекоше: Загонетни загонетку своју, да чујемо.
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
Тада им рече; од оног који једе изиђе јело, и од љутог изиђе слатко. И не могаше одгонетнути загонетке три дана.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to impoverish us? is it not [so]?
И седми дан рекоше жени Самсоновој: Наговори мужа свог да нам каже загонетку, или ћемо спалити огњем тебе и дом оца твог. Јесте ли нас зато позвали да нам узмете имање? Је ли тако?
16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?
И стаде плакати жена Самсонова пред њим говорећи: Ти мрзиш на ме, и ти ме не љубиш; загонетнуо си загонетку синовима народа мог, а нећеш мени да кажеш. А он јој рече: Гле, ни оцу свом ни матери својој нисам је казао, а теби да је кажем?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
И она плака пред њим за седам дана докле трајаше весеље. А седми дан каза јој, јер беше навалила на њ: а она каза загонетку синовима народа свог.
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.
Тада му рекоше људи града оног седми дан док сунце не зађе: Шта је слађе од меда, и шта је љуће од лава? А он им рече: Да нисте орали на мојој јуници, не бисте погодили моје загонетке.
19 And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [of raiment] unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
И дође на њ дух Господњи, те сиђе у Аскалон, и поби онде тридесет људи, и узе одело с њих и даде свечане хаљине онима који одгонетнуше загонетку; и расрди се врло и отиде кући оца свог.
20 But Samson’s wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
А жена Самсонова удаде се за друга његовог, с којим се беше удружио.
