1 Šel pak Samson do Tamnata, a uzřel tam ženu ze dcer Filistinských.
Then Samson descended to Timnah. And seeing there a woman from the daughters of the Philistines,
2 A navrátiv se, oznámil otci svému a mateři své, řka: Viděl jsem ženu v Tamnata ze dcer Filistinských, protož nyní vezměte mi ji za manželku.
he went up, and he told his father and his mother, saying: “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. I ask that you take her to me as wife.”
3 I řekl mu otec jeho a matka jeho: Zdali není mezi dcerami bratří tvých a ve všem lidu mém ženy, že sobě vzíti chceš manželku z Filistinských neobřezaných? Odpověděl Samson otci svému: Tuto vezměte mi, nebť mi se líbí.
And his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, so that you would be willing to take a wife from the Philistines, who are uncircumcised?” And Samson said to his father: “Take this woman to me. For she has pleased my eyes.”
4 Otec pak jeho a matka jeho nevěděli, by to od Hospodina bylo, a že příčiny hledá od Filistinských; nebo toho času panovali Filistinští nad Izraelem.
Now his parents did not know that the matter was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time, the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Tedy šel Samson a otec jeho i matka jeho do Tamnata. Když pak přišli k vinicím Tamnatským, a aj, lev mladý řvoucí potkal se s ním.
And so, Samson descended with his father and mother to Timnah. And when they had arrived at the vineyards of the town, he saw a young lion, savage and roaring, and it met him.
6 I sstoupil na něj Duch Hospodinův, a roztrhl lva, jako by roztrhl kozelce, ačkoli nic neměl v rukou svých. A neoznámil otci ani mateři své, co učinil.
Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon Samson, and he tore apart the lion, like a young goat being torn into pieces, having nothing at all in his hand. And he was not willing to reveal this to his father and mother.
7 Přišed tedy, mluvil s ženou tou, a líbila se Samsonovi.
And he went down and spoke to the woman who had pleased his eyes.
8 Navracuje se pak po několika dnech, aby ji pojal, uchýlil se, aby pohleděl na mrtvého lva, a aj, v těle jeho byl roj včel a med.
And after some days, returning to marry her, he turned aside so that he might see the carcass of the lion. And behold, there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, with a honeycomb.
9 A vybrav jej na ruce své, šel cestou a jedl; a přišed k otci svému a mateři své, dal jim, i jedli. Ale nepověděl jim, že z mrtvého lva vyňal ten med.
And when he had taken it in his hands, he ate it along the way. And arriving to his father and mother, he gave them a portion, and they also ate it. Yet he was not willing to reveal to them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
10 Tedy šel otec jeho k ženě té, a učinil tam Samson hody, nebo tak činívali mládenci.
And so his father went down to the woman, and he made a feast for his son Samson. For so the young men were accustomed to do.
11 Když pak jej viděli tam, vybrali z sebe třidceti tovaryšů, aby byli při něm.
And when the citizens of that place had seen him, they presented to him thirty companions to be with him.
12 I řekl jim Samson: Vydám vám pohádku, kterouž jestliže mi právě vysvětlíte za sedm dní těchto hodů a uhodnete, dám vám třidceti čechlů a třidcatero roucho proměnné.
And Samson said to them: “I will propose to you a problem, which, if you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.
13 Jestliže mi pak nebudete moci uhodnouti, dáte vy mně třidceti čechlů a třidcatero roucho proměnné. Kteříž odpověděli jemu: Vydej pohádku svou, ať ji slyšíme.
But if you are not able to solve it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.” And they answered him, “Propose the problem, so that we may hear it.”
14 I řekl jim: Z zžírajícího vyšel pokrm, a z silného vyšla sladkost. I nemohli uhodnouti pohádky té za tři dni.
And he said to them, “Food went forth from that which eats, and sweetness went forth from that which is strong.” And they were unable to solve the proposition for three days.
15 Stalo se pak dne sedmého, (nebo byli řekli ženě Samsonově: Namluv muže svého, ať nám vyloží tu pohádku, ať nespálíme tě i domu otce tvého ohněm. Proto-liž, abyste našeho statku dostali, pozvali jste nás? Či co?
And when the seventh day had arrived, they said to the wife of Samson: “Coax your husband, and persuade him to reveal to you what the proposition means. But if you are not willing to do so, we will burn you and your father’s house. Or have you called us to the wedding in order to despoil us?”
16 I plakala žena Samsonova na něj, řkuci: Jistě nenávidíš mne a nemiluješ mne; pohádku jsi vydal synům lidu mého, a mně jí nechceš povědíti. Kterýž řekl jí: Hle, otci mému a mateři neoznámil jsem, a tobě mám povědíti?
And she shed tears before Samson, and she complained, saying: “You hate me, and you do not love me. That is why you do not want to explain to me the problem, which you have proposed to the sons of my people.” But he responded: “I was not willing to reveal it to my father and mother. And so, how can I reveal it to you?”
17 I plakala na něj do sedmého dne, v nichž měli hody). Dne tedy sedmého pověděl jí, nebo trápila jej; kterážto oznámila pohádku synům lidu svého.
Therefore, she wept before him during the seven days of the feast. And at length, on the seventh day, since she had been troubling him, he explained it. And immediately she revealed it to her countrymen.
18 Muži tedy města toho dne sedmého, prvé než slunce zapadlo, řekli jemu: Co sladšího nad med, a co silnějšího nad lva? Kterýž řekl jim: Byste byli neorali mou jalovičkou, neuhodli byste pohádky mé.
And they, on the seventh day, before the sun declined, said to him: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have uncovered my proposition.”
19 I sstoupil na něj Duch Hospodinův, a šel do Aškalon, a pobil z nich třidceti mužů. A vzav loupeže jejich, dal šaty proměnné těm, jenž uhodli pohádku, a rozhněvav se velmi, odšel do domu otce svého.
And so the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he descended to Ashkelon, and in that place he struck down thirty men. And taking away their garments, he gave them to those who had solved the problem. And being exceedingly angry, he went up to his father’s house.
20 Žena pak Samsonova dostala se jednomu z tovaryšů jeho, kteréhož on byl k sobě připojil.
Then his wife took as a husband one of his friends and wedding companions.
