Judges 14
1 Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
At lumusong si Samson sa Timnah, at nakita ang isang babae sa Timnah sa mga anak ng mga Filisteo.
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as my wife.”
At siya'y umahon, at isinaysay sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang ina, at sinabi, Aking nakita ang isang babae sa Timnah, sa mga anak ng mga Filisteo: ngayon nga'y papagasawahin ninyo ako sa kaniya.
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is not there a woman among your brothers’ daughters, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang ama at ng kaniyang ina sa kaniya, Wala na bang babae sa mga anak ng iyong kapatid, o sa aking buong bayan, na ikaw ay yayaong magaasawa sa mga di tuling Filisteo? At sinabi ni Samson sa kaniyang ama, Papag-asawahin mo ako sa kaniya; sapagka't siya'y lubhang nakalulugod sa akin.
4 But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.
Nguni't hindi naalaman ng kaniyang ama at ng kaniyang ina, na kalooban ng Panginoon; sapagka't siya'y humahanap ng pagkakataon laban sa mga Filisteo. Nang panahong yaon nga'y nagpupuno ang mga Filisteo sa Israel.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.
Nang magkagayo'y lumusong si Samson, at ang kaniyang ama, at ang kaniyang ina, sa Timnah, at naparoon sa ubasan ng Timnah: at, narito, isang batang leon ay umuungal laban sa kaniya,
6 The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sumakaniya, at nilamuray niya siya na parang naglamuray ng isang batang kambing, at siya'y walang anoman sa kaniyang kamay; nguni't hindi niya sinaysay sa kaniyang ama o sa kaniyang ina kung ano ang kaniyang ginawa.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
At siya'y lumusong at nakipagusap sa babae, at siya'y lubhang nakalulugod kay Samson.
8 After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
At pagkaraan ng sandali ay bumalik siya upang kunin niya siya, at siya'y lumiko upang tingnan ang patay na leon: at, narito, may isang kawan ng pukyutan sa loob ng bangkay ng leon, at pulot-pukyutan.
9 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. 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 lion’s body.
At kaniyang dinala sa kaniyang kamay at yumaon, na kinakain niya samantalang siya'y yumayaon, at siya'y naparoon sa kaniyang ama at ina, at ibinigay sa kanila, at kanilang kinain; nguni't hindi niya sinaysay sa kanila na kaniyang kinuha ang pulot sa bangkay ng leon.
10 His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
At nilusong ng kaniyang ama ang babae: at gumawa si Samson ng isang kasayahan doon; sapagka't kinaugaliang ginagawang gayon ng mga binata.
11 When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
At nangyari, pagkakita nila sa kaniya, na sila'y nagdala ng tatlong pung kasama, upang maging kasama niya.
12 Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Pagbubugtungan ko kayo: kung maisaysay ninyo sa akin sa loob ng pitong araw na kasayahan, at inyong maturingan, ay bibigyan ko nga kayo ng tatlong pung kasuutang lino at tatlong pung bihisan:
13 but if you cannot tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.”
Nguni't kung hindi ninyo maisaysay sa akin, ay bibigyan nga ninyo ako ng tatlong pung kasuutang lino at ng tatlong pung bihisan. At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Ipagbadya mo ang iyong bugtong, upang aming marinig.
14 He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They could not in three days declare the riddle.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sa mangangain ay lumabas ang pagkain, At sa malakas ay lumabas ang katamisan. At hindi nila maisaysay sa tatlong araw.
15 On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is not that so?”
At nangyari, nang ikapitong araw, na kanilang sinabi sa asawa ni Samson, Dayain mo ang iyong asawa, upang maisaysay niya sa amin ang bugtong, baka ikaw ay sunugin namin at ang sangbahayan ng iyong ama: inanyayahan ba ninyo kami upang papaghirapin? di ba gayon?
16 Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and do not love me. You have told a riddle to the children of my people, and have not told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I have not told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”
At umiyak ang asawa ni Samson sa harap niya, at nagsabi, Kinapopootan mo lamang ako, at hindi mo ako iniibig: ikaw ay nagbugtong ng isang bugtong sa mga anak ng aking bayan, at hindi mo isinaysay sa akin. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Narito, hindi ko isinaysay sa aking ama, o sa aking ina man, at akin bang sasaysayin sa iyo?
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
At umiyak siya sa harap niya na pitong araw, habang hindi natapos ang kanilang kasayahan: at nangyari nang ikapitong araw, na isinaysay niya sa kaniya, sapagka't pinilit niya siya: at isinaysay niya ang bugtong sa mga anak ng kaniyang bayan.
18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle.”
At sinabi ng mga lalake sa bayan kay Samson nang ikapitong araw bago lumubog ang araw. Alin kaya ang lalong matamis kay sa pulot? at ano pa kaya ang lalong malakas kay sa leon? At sinabi niya sa kanila. Kung hindi kayo nag-araro ng aking dumalaga, Hindi sana ninyo naturingan ang aking bugtong.
19 The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sumakaniya, at siya'y lumusong sa Ascalon, at pumatay ng tatlong pung lalake sa kanila, at kinuha ang samsam sa kanila, at ibinigay ang mga bihisan sa mga nakaturing ng bugtong at ang kaniyang galit ay nagalab, at siya'y umahon sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Nguni't ang asawa ni Samson ay ibinigay sa kaniyang kasama, na siya niyang inaaring parang kaniyang kaibigan.
