< 士師記 14 >
1 參孫下到亭拿,在那裏看見一個女子,是非利士人的女兒。
And he went down Samson Timnah towards and he saw a woman in Timnah one of [the] daughters of [the] Philistines.
2 參孫上來稟告他父母說:「我在亭拿看見一個女子,是非利士人的女兒,願你們給我娶來為妻。」
And he went up and he told to father his and to mother his and he said a woman I have seen in Timnah one of [the] daughters of [the] Philistines and now get her for me to a wife.
3 他父母說:「在你弟兄的女兒中,或在本國的民中,豈沒有一個女子,何致你去在未受割禮的非利士人中娶妻呢?」參孫對他父親說:「願你給我娶那女子,因我喜悅她。」
And he said to him father his and mother his ¿ [is] there not among [the] daughters of brothers your and among all people my a woman that you [are] going to take a wife from [the] Philistines uncircumcised and he said Samson to father his her get for me for she she is pleasing in view my.
4 他的父母卻不知道這事是出於耶和華,因為他找機會攻擊非利士人。那時,非利士人轄制以色列人。
And father his and mother his not they knew that [was] from Yahweh it for an occasion he [was] seeking from [the] Philistines and at the time that [the] Philistines [were] ruling over Israel.
5 參孫跟他父母下亭拿去,到了亭拿的葡萄園,見有一隻少壯獅子向他吼叫。
And he went down Samson and father his and mother his Timnah towards and they came to [the] vineyards of Timnah and there! a young lion of lions [was] roaring to meet him.
6 耶和華的靈大大感動參孫,他雖然手無器械,卻將獅子撕裂,如同撕裂山羊羔一樣。他行這事並沒有告訴父母。
And it rushed on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he tore apart it as tears apart kid and [was] anything there not in hand his and not he told to father his and to mother his [that] which he had done.
And he went down and he spoke to the woman and she was pleasing in [the] eyes of Samson.
8 過了些日子,再下去要娶那女子,轉向道旁要看死獅,見有一群蜂子和蜜在死獅之內,
And he returned from days to take her and he turned aside to see [the] carcass of the lion and there! a swarm of bees [was] in [the] carcass of the lion and honey.
9 就用手取蜜,且吃且走;到了父母那裏,給他父母,他們也吃了;只是沒有告訴這蜜是從死獅之內取來的。
And he scraped out it into palms his and he went continuously and eating and he came to father his and to mother his and he gave to them and they ate and not he told to them that from [the] carcass of the lion he had scraped out the honey.
10 他父親下去見女子。參孫在那裏設擺筵宴,因為向來少年人都有這個規矩。
And he went down father his to the woman and he prepared there Samson a feast for thus they did the young men.
And it was when saw they him and they took thirty companions and they were with him.
12 參孫對他們說:「我給你們出一個謎語,你們在七日筵宴之內,若能猜出意思告訴我,我就給你們三十件裏衣,三十套衣裳;
And he said to them Samson let me ask a riddle please to you a riddle certainly [if] you will tell it to me [the] seven [the] days of the feast and you will find [it] out and I will give to you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of garments.
13 你們若不能猜出意思告訴我,你們就給我三十件裏衣,三十套衣裳。」他們說:「請將謎語說給我們聽。」
And if not you will be able to tell to me and you will give you to me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of garments and they said to him ask [the] riddle! riddle your so we may hear it.
14 參孫對他們說: 吃的從吃者出來; 甜的從強者出來。 他們三日不能猜出謎語的意思。
And he said to them from the eater it came out food and from a strong [one] it came out a sweet [thing] and not they were able to tell the riddle three days.
15 到第七天,他們對參孫的妻說:「你誆哄你丈夫,探出謎語的意思告訴我們,免得我們用火燒你和你父家。你們請了我們來,是要奪我們所有的嗎?」
And it was - on the day seventh and they said to [the] wife of Samson entice husband your so may he tell to us the riddle lest we should burn you and [the] house of father your with fire ¿ to impoverish us did you invite us ¿ [is it] not [so].
16 參孫的妻在丈夫面前啼哭說:「你是恨我,不是愛我,你給我本國的人出謎語,卻沒有將意思告訴我。」參孫回答說:「連我父母我都沒有告訴,豈可告訴你呢?」
And she wept [the] wife of Samson over him and she said only you hate me and not you love me the riddle you have asked [the] riddle to [the] sons of people my and to me not you have told and he said to her here! to father my and to mother my not I have told and to [why] you will I tell?
17 七日筵宴之內,她在丈夫面前啼哭,到第七天逼着他,他才將謎語的意思告訴他妻,他妻就告訴本國的人。
And she wept over him [the] seven the days which it belonged to them the feast and it was - on the day seventh and he told to her for she pressed him and she told the riddle to [the] sons of people her.
18 到第七天,日頭未落以前,那城裏的人對參孫說: 有甚麼比蜜還甜呢? 有甚麼比獅子還強呢? 參孫對他們說: 你們若非用我的母牛犢耕地, 就猜不出我謎語的意思來。
And they said to him [the] men of the city on the day seventh before it went the sun what? [is] sweet more than honey and what? [is] strong more than a lion and he said to them if not you had plowed with heifer my not you found out riddle my.
19 耶和華的靈大大感動參孫,他就下到亞實基倫,擊殺了三十個人,奪了他們的衣裳,將衣裳給了猜出謎語的人。參孫發怒,就上父家去了。
And it rushed on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he went down Ashkelon and he struck down of them - thirty man and he took spoils their and he gave the changes to [those who] told the riddle and it burned anger his and he went up [the] house of father his.
20 參孫的妻便歸了參孫的陪伴,就是作過他朋友的。
And she belonged [the] wife of Samson to companion his who he was a special friend to him.
