1 Šel pak Samson do Tamnata, a uzřel tam ženu ze dcer Filistinských.
Samson went down to Timnah, and there he saw a woman, one of 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.
When he returned, he told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines. Now get her for me to be my 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.
His father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people? Are you going to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for when I look at her, she pleases me.”
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.
But his father and his mother did not know that this matter came from Yahweh, for he desired to create a conflict with the Philistines (for at that time the Philistines were ruling 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.
Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah. And, look, there one of the young lions came up and was roaring at 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.
Yahweh's Spirit suddenly came on him, and he tore the lion apart as easily as he would have torn apart a small goat, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Přišed tedy, mluvil s ženou tou, a líbila se Samsonovi.
He went and spoke with the woman, and when he looked at her, she pleased Samson.
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.
A few days later when he returned to marry her, he turned aside to look for the carcass of the lion. And, look, there was a swarm of bees and honey in what was left of the lion's body.
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.
He scraped up the honey in his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and his mother, he gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them he had taken the honey out of what was left of the lion's body.
10 Tedy šel otec jeho k ženě té, a učinil tam Samson hody, nebo tak činívali mládenci.
Samson's father went down to where the woman was, and Samson gave a feast there, for this was the custom of the young men.
11 Když pak jej viděli tam, vybrali z sebe třidceti tovaryšů, aby byli při něm.
As soon as her relatives saw him, they brought him thirty of their friends 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.
Samson said to them, “Let me now tell you a riddle. If one of you can find it out and tell me the answer during the seven days of the feast, I will give out thirty linen robes and thirty sets of clothes.
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 cannot tell me the answer, then you will give me thirty linen robes and thirty sets of clothes.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, so 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.
He said to them, “Out of the eater was something to eat; out of the strong was something sweet.” But his guests could not find the answer in 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? Èi co?
On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, “Trick your husband so that he may tell us the answer to the riddle, or we will burn up you and your father's house. Did you invite us here in order to make us poor?”
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?
Samson's wife started to weep in front of him; she said, “All you do is hate me! You do not love me. You have told a riddle to some of my people, but you have not told me the answer.” Samson said to her, “Look here, if I have not told my father or my mother, should I tell 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.
She cried during the seven days that their feast lasted. On the seventh day he told her the answer because she pressured him very much. She told the answer to the relatives of her people.
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.
Before the sun went down on the seventh day the men of the city said to him, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found the answer to my riddle.”
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.
Then Yahweh's Spirit suddenly came on Samson with power. Samson went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men. He took their plunder, and he gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he went up to his father's house.
20 Žena pak Samsonova dostala se jednomu z tovaryšů jeho, kteréhož on byl k sobě připojil.
Samson's wife was given to his best friend.
