Juízes 14
1 E descendo Sansão a Timna, viu em Timna uma mulher das filhas dos filisteus.
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 E subiu, e declarou-o a seu pai e a sua mãe, dizendo: Eu vi em Timna uma mulher das filhas dos filisteus: rogo-vos que a deis a mim por mulher.
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 E seu pai e sua mãe lhe disseram: Não há mulher entre as filhas de teus irmãos, nem em todo meu povo, para que vás tu a tomar mulher dos filisteus incircuncisos? E Sansão respondeu a seu pai: Toma-a a mim por mulher, porque esta agradou a meus olhos.
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
4 Mas seu pai e sua mãe não sabiam que isto vinha do SENHOR, e que ele buscava ocasião contra os filisteus: porque naquele tempo os filisteus dominavam sobre Israel.
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 E Sansão desceu com seu pai e com sua mãe a Timna: e quando chegaram às vinhas de Timna, eis que um leão jovem que vinha bramando até ele.
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 E o espírito do SENHOR caiu sobre ele, e despedaçou-o como quem despedaça um cabrito, sem ter nada em sua mão: e não deu a entender a seu pai nem a sua mãe o que havia feito.
And the Spirit of the LORD 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.
7 Veio, pois, e falou à mulher que havia agradado a Sansão.
And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 E voltando depois de alguns dias para tomá-la, apartou-se para ver o corpo morto do leão, e eis que no corpo do leão um enxame de abelhas, e um favo de mel.
And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
9 E tomando-o em suas mãos, foi-se comendo-o pelo caminho: e chegado que houve a seu pai e a sua mãe, deu-lhes também a eles que comessem; mas não lhes revelou que havia tomado aquela mel do corpo do leão.
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
10 Veio, pois, seu pai à mulher, e Sansão fez ali banquete; porque assim costumavam fazer os rapazes.
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 E quando eles o viram, tomaram trinta companheiros que estivessem com ele;
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Aos quais Sansão disse: Eu vos proporei agora um enigma, o qual se nos sete dias do banquete vós me declarardes e descobrirdes, eu vos darei trinta sábanas e trinta mudas de vestidos.
And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if all of you can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
13 Mas se não o souberes declarar a mim, vós me dareis as trinta mantas e as trinta mudas de vestidos. E eles responderam: Propõe-nos teu enigma, e o ouviremos.
But if all of you cannot declare it me, then shall all of you give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.
14 Então lhes disse: Do comedor saiu comida, E do forte saiu doçura. E eles não puderam declarar-lhe o enigma em três dias.
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 expound the riddle.
15 E ao sétimo dia disseram à mulher de Sansão: Induz a teu marido a que nos declare este enigma, para que não te queimemos a ti e à casa de teu pai. Chamaste-nos aqui para possuir-nos?
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: have all of you called us to take that we have? is it not so?
16 E chorou a mulher de Sansão diante dele, e disse: Somente me aborreces e não me amas, pois que não me declaras o enigma que propuseste aos filhos de meu povo. E ele respondeu: Eis que nem a meu pai nem a minha mãe o declarei; e havia eu de declará-lo a ti?
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not: you have put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and have not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it you?
17 E ela chorou diante dele os sete dias que eles tiveram banquete: mas ao sétimo dia ele o declarou a ela, porque lhe constrangeu; e ela o declarou aos filhos de seu povo.
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 lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 E ao sétimo dia, antes que o sol se pusesse, os da cidade lhe disseram: Que coisa mais doce que o mel? E que coisa mais forte que o leão? Se não arásseis com minha novilha, Nunca teríeis descoberto meu enigma.
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 all of you had not plowed with my heifer, all of you had not found out my riddle.
19 E o espírito do SENHOR caiu sobre ele, e desceu a Asquelom, e feriu trinta homens deles; e tomando seus despojos, deu as mudas de vestidos aos que haviam explicado o enigma: e acendido em ira foi-se à casa de seu pai.
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 E a mulher de Sansão foi dada a seu companheiro, com o qual ele antes se acompanhava.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
