Suci 14
1 I siđe Samson u Timnu i ugleda ondje djevojku među filistejskim kćerima.
And Samson goeth down to Timnath, and seeth a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines,
2 Vrativši se, povjeri to ocu i majci: “Opazio sam u Timni”, reče on, “djevojku među filistejskim kćerima: oženite me njome.”
and cometh up and declareth to his father, and to his mother, and saith, 'A woman I have seen in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines; and now, take her for me for a wife.'
3 Otac i mati rekoše: “Zar nema djevojaka među kćerima tvoga plemena i u svemu našem narodu da moraš uzeti ženu između neobrezanih Filistejaca?” Ali Samson odgovori ocu: “Oženi me njome jer mi ona omilje.”
And his father saith to him — also his mother, 'Is there not among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, a woman, that thou art going to take a woman from the uncircumcised Philistines?' and Samson saith unto his father, 'Take her for me, for she is right in mine eyes.'
4 Otac mu i majka nisu znali da je to od Jahve, koji je tražio zadjevicu s Filistejcima jer Filistejci u ono doba vladahu Izraelom.
And his father and his mother have not known that from Jehovah it [is], that a meeting he is seeking of the Philistines; and at that time the Philistines are ruling over Israel.
5 Samson siđe tako u Timnu i kad dođe do timnjanskih vinograda, gle - odjednom preda nj iskoči mladi lav ričući.
And Samson goeth down — also his father and his mother, to Timnath, and they come unto the vineyards of Timnath, and lo, a lion's whelp roareth at meeting him,
6 Duh Jahvin zahvati Samsona, i on goloruk raskida lava kao što se raskida jare; ali ne reče ni ocu ni majci što je učinio.
and the Spirit of Jehovah prospereth over him, and he rendeth it as the rending of a kid, and there is nothing in his hand, and he hath not declared to his father and to his mother that which he hath done.
7 Došavši, razgovori se s djevojkom i ona mu omilje.
And he goeth down and speaketh to the woman, and she is right in the eyes of Samson;
8 Poslije nekog vremena, kada se vratio da je odvede, Samson skrenu da vidi mrtvog lava, a to u mrtvom lavu roj pčela i med.
and he turneth back after [some] days to take her, and turneth aside to see the carcase of the lion, and lo, a company of bees [are] in the body of the lion — and honey.
9 On uze meda u ruke i jeo ga je idući putem. Kada se vratio k ocu i majci, dade ga i njima te i oni jedoše; ali im ne reče da ga je uzeo iz mrtvog lava.
And he taketh it down on to his hands, and goeth on, going and eating; and he goeth unto his father, and unto his mother, and giveth to them, and they eat, and he hath not declared to them that from the body of the lion he took down the honey.
10 Zatim ode ženi i ondje prirediše gozbu Samsonu; trajala je sedam dana, jer tako običavahu mladi ljudi.
And his father goeth down unto the woman, and Samson maketh there a banquet, for so the young men do;
11 Ali kako ga se bojahu, izabraše trideset svadbenih drugova da budu uza nj.
and it cometh to pass when they see him, that they take thirty companions, and they are with him.
12 Tad im reče Samson: “Hajde da vam zadam zagonetku. Ako je odgonetnete za sedam svadbenih dana, dat ću vam trideset truba finog platna i trideset svečanih haljina.
And Samson saith to them, 'Let me, I pray you, put forth to you a riddle; if ye certainly declare it to me [in] the seven days of the banquet, and have found [it] out, then I have given to you thirty linen shirts, and thirty changes of garments;
13 Ali ako je ne mognete odgonetnuti, vi ćete meni dati trideset truba platna i trideset svečanih haljina.” “Zadaj nam zagonetku”, odgovore mu oni, “mi te slušamo.”
and if ye are not able to declare [it] to me, then ye have given to me thirty linen shirts, and thirty changes of garments.' And they say to him, 'Put forth thy riddle, and we hear it!'
14 A on im reče: “Od onog koji jede izišlo je jelo, od jakoga izišlo je slatko.” Ali za tri dana nisu mogli odgonetnuti zagonetke.
And he saith to them: 'Out of the eater came forth meat, And out of the strong came forth sweetness;' and they were not able to declare the riddle [in] three days.
15 Četvrtoga dana rekoše Samsonovoj ženi: “Izvuci od muža na prijevaru rješenje zagonetke, ili ćemo spaliti i tebe i očev ti dom! Zar ste nas ovamo pozvali da nas oplijenite?”
And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they say to Samson's wife, 'Entice thy husband, that he declare to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and the house of thy father with fire; to possess us have ye called for us? is it not?'
16 Tada žena, uplakana, obisnu Samsonu oko vrata govoreći: “Ti mene samo mrziš i ne ljubiš me. Zadao si zagonetku sinovima moga naroda, a meni je nisi objasnio.” On joj odgovori: “Nisam je objasnio ni ocu ni majci, a tebi da je kažem?”
And Samson's wife weepeth for it, and saith, 'Thou hast only hated me, and hast not loved me; the riddle thou hast put forth to the sons of my people — and to me thou hast not declared it;' and he saith to her, 'Lo, to my father and to my mother I have not declared [it] — and to thee I declare [it]!'
17 Ona mu plakaše oko vrata sedam dana, koliko je trajala gozba. Sedmoga dana on joj kaza odgonetku: toliko je na nj navaljivala. I ona je odade sinovima svoga naroda.
And she weepeth for it the seven days [in] which their banquet hath been, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day that he declareth [it] to her, for she hath distressed him; and she declareth the riddle to the sons of her people.
18 Sedmoga dana, prije nego je zašlo sunce, ljudi iz toga grada rekoše Samsonu: “Što ima slađe od meda i što ima jače od lava?” A on im odgovori: “Da niste s mojom junicom orali, ne biste zagonetke pogodili.”
And the men of the city say to him on the seventh day, before the sun goeth in: — 'What [is] sweeter than honey? And what stronger than a lion?' And he saith to them: 'Unless ye had ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.'
19 Tada duh Jahvin dođe na njega, te on siđe u Aškelon i ondje pobi trideset ljudi, uze im odjeću i dade svečane haljine onima koji su odgonetnuli zagonetku, a onda se sav gnjevan vrati očevoj kući.
And the Spirit of Jehovah prospereth over him, and he goeth down to Ashkelon, and smiteth of them thirty men, and taketh their armour, and giveth the changes to those declaring the riddle; and his anger burneth, and he goeth up to the house of his father;
20 A Samsonovu ženu dadoše drugu koji mu bijaše svadbeni pratilac.
and Samson's wife becometh his companion's, who [is] his friend.
