< Judges 14 >

1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
サムソン、テムナテに下り、ペリシテ人の女にてテムナテに住る一人の婦を見
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me to wife.
歸り上りておのが父母に語ていひけるは我ペリシテ人の女にてテムナテに住るひとりの婦を見たりされば今之をめとりてわが妻とせよと
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brothers, or among all my people, that thou go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she pleases me well.
その父母之にいひけるは汝ゆきて割禮を受けざるペリシテ人のうちより妻を迎んとするは汝が兄弟等の女のうちもしくはわがすべての民のうちに婦女無が故なるかとしかるにサムソン父にむかひ彼婦わがこころに適へば之をわがために娶れと言り
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah, for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
その父母はこの事のヱホバより出しなるを知ざりきサムソンはペリシテ人を攻んと釁をうかがひしなりそは其のころペリシテ人イスラエルを轄め居たればなり
5 Then Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. And, behold, a young lion roared against him.
サムソン父母とともにテムナテに下りてテムナテの葡萄園にいたるに稚き獅子咆哮りて彼に向ひしが
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he tore him apart as he would have torn a kid, and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
ヱホバの靈彼にのぞみたれば山羊羔を裂がごとくに之を裂たりしが手には何の武器も持ざりきされどサムソンはその爲せしことを父にも母にも告ずしてありぬ
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
サムソンつひに下りて婦とうちかたらひしが婦その心にかなへり
8 And after a while he returned to take her. And he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
かくて日を經て後サムソンかれを娶らんとて立かへりしが身を轉して彼の獅子の屍を見るに獅子の體に蜂の群と蜜とありければ
9 And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate, but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
すなはちその蜜を手にとりて歩みつつ食ひ父母の許にいたりて之を與へけるに彼ら之を食へりされど獅子の體よりその蜜を取來れることをば彼らにかたらざりき
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, for so the young men used to do.
斯て其の父下りて婦のもとに至りしかばサムソン少年の習例にしたがひてそこに饗宴をまうけたるに
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
サムソンを見て三十人の者をつれ來りて之が伴侶とならしむ
12 And Samson said to them, Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If ye can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment,
サムソンかれらにいひけるは我汝らにひとつの隱語をかけん汝ら七日の筵宴の内に之を解てあきらかに之を我に告なば我汝らに裏衣三十と衣三十襲をあたふべし
13 but if ye cannot declare it to me, then ye shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said to him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
然どもし之をわれに告得ずば汝ら我に裏衣三十と衣三十襲を與ふべしと彼等之にいひけるは汝の隱語をかけて我らに聽しめよ
14 And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
サムソン之にいひけるは食ふ者より食物出で強き者より甘き物出でたりと彼ら三日の中に之を解ことあたはざりしかば
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye called us to impoverish us? Is it not so?
第七日にいたりてサムソンの妻にいひけるは汝の夫を説すすめて隱語を我らに明さしめよ然せずば火をもて汝と汝の父の家を焚ん汝らはわれらの物をとらんとてわれらを招けるなるか然るにあらずやと
16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou do but hate me, and not love me. Thou have put forth a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it to my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?
是においてサムソンの妻サムソンのまへに泣ていひけるは汝はわれを惡む而巳われを愛せざるなり汝わが民の子孫に隱語をかけて之をわれに説あかさずとサムソン之にいふ我これをわが父や母にも説あかさざればいかで汝に説あかすべけんやと
17 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 pressed him greatly. And she told the riddle to the sons of her people.
婦七日の筵宴のあひだ彼のまへに泣き居りしが第七日に至りてサムソンつひに之を彼に説あかせり其は太く強たればなり婦すなはち隱語をおのが民の子孫に明せり
18 And the men of the city said to 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 to them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye would not have found out my riddle.
是において第七日に及びて日の沒るまへに邑の人々サムソンにいひけるは何ものか蜜よりあまからん何ものか獅子より強からんとサムソン之にいひけるは汝らわが牝犢をもて耕さざりしならばわが隱語を解得ざるなりと
19 And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment to those who declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
茲にヱホバの靈サムソンに臨みしかばサムソン、アシケロンに下りてかしこの者三十人を殺しその物を奪ひ彼の隱語を解し者等にその衣服を與へはげしく怒りて其父の家にかへり上れり
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
サムソンの妻はサムソンの友となり居たるその伴侶の妻となりぬ
