Judges 15
1 Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.
A poslije nekoliko dana, o pšeniènoj žetvi, doðe Samson da pohodi ženu svoju donesavši joj jare, i reèe: idem k ženi svojoj u ložnicu. Ali mu otac njezin ne dade da uðe.
2 “I was sure that you thoroughly hated her,” said her father, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her instead.”
Jer reèe otac njezin: ja mišljah zacijelo da ti nije po volji, pa je dadoh drugu tvojemu; nego mlaða sestra njezina nije li ljepša od nje? uzmi nju mjesto one.
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
A Samson im reèe: ja neæu biti kriv Filistejima kad im uèinim zlo.
4 Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he took torches, turned the foxes tail-to-tail, and fastened a torch between each pair of tails.
I otišavši Samson uhvati trista lisica, i uze luèa, i sveza po dvije za repove, i metnu po jedan luè meðu dva repa,
5 Then he lit the torches and released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, burning up the piles of grain and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Pa zapali luèeve, i pusti u ljetinu Filistejsku, i popali ljetinu požnjevenu i nepožnjevenu, i vinograde i maslinike.
6 “Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.
Tada Filisteji rekoše: ko je to uèinio? I odgovoriše: Samson zet Tamnaæaninov, jer mu uze ženu i dade je drugu njegovu. Tada doðoše Filisteji i spališe ognjem nju i oca njezina.
7 And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
A Samson im reèe: ako ste i uèinili tako, opet æu vam se osvetiti, pa æu se onda okaniti.
8 And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
I polomi ih ljuto nogama po bedrima: potom otide i nastani se u peæini od stijene Itama.
9 Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
Tada izidoše Filisteji i stadoše u oko prema Judi, i raširiše se do Lehije.
10 “Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
A ljudi od Jude rekoše: što ste izašli na nas? I odgovoriše: izašli smo da svežemo Samsona i da mu uèinimo kako je on nama uèinio.
11 In response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked Samson, “Do you not realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
Tada izide tri tisuæe ljudi iz Jude k peæini u stijeni Itamu, i rekoše Samsonu: ne znaš li da Filisteji vladaju nad nama? zašto si nam dakle to uèinio? A on im reèe: kako su oni meni uèinili tako ja uèinih njima.
12 But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
Oni mu rekoše: došli smo da te svežemo i predamo u ruke Filistejima. A Samson im reèe: zakunite mi se da neæete vi uložiti na me.
13 “No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
Oni mu odgovoriše i rekoše: neæemo; nego æemo te samo svezati i predati u njihove ruke, ali te neæemo pogubiti. I svezaše ga u dva nova uža i odvedoše ga iz stijene.
14 When Samson arrived in Lehi, the Philistines came out shouting against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and the bonds broke loose from his hands.
I kad on doðe do Lehije, Filisteji ga sretoše vièuæi od radosti; a duh Gospodnji siðe na nj, i uža na rukama njegovima postaše kao konci izgorjeli od vatre, i spadoše sveze s ruku njegovijeh.
15 He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
I on naðe èeljust magareæu još sirovu, i pruživ ruku svoju uze je, i pobi njom tisuæu ljudi.
16 Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”
Potom reèe Samson: èeljušæu magareæom jednu gomilu, dvije gomile, èeljušæu magareæom pobih tisuæu ljudi.
17 And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.
A kad izreèe, baci èeljust iz ruke svoje, i nazva ono mjesto Ramat-Lehija.
18 And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
I bijaše žedan jako, te zavapi ka Gospodu i reèe: ti si uèinio rukom sluge svojega ovo izbavljenje veliko; a sada hoæu li umrijeti od žeði, ili æu pasti u ruke neobrezanima?
19 So God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day.
Tada Bog rascijepi stijenu u Lehiji, i proteèe voda iz nje, te se napi, i povrati mu se duh i oživje. Zato se prozva onaj izvor En-Akore, koji je u Lehiji do današnjega dana.
20 And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
I bi sudija Izrailju za vremena Filistejskoga dvadeset godina.
