Judges 14
1 Now 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 when he came back he said to his father and mother, I have seen a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines: get her now for me for my 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 mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.
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 Now his father and mother had no knowledge that this was the purpose of the Lord, who had the destruction of the Philistines in mind. Now the Philistines at that time were ruling 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 to Timnah (and his father and his mother, ) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at 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 the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of 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 So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.
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 Then after a time he went back to take her; and turning from the road to see the dead body of the lion, he saw a mass of bees in the body of the lion, and honey there.
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 the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from 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 Then Samson went down to the woman, and made a feast there, as was the way among young men.
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 he took thirty friends, and they were 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, Now I have a hard question for you: if you are able to give me the answer before the seven days of the feast are over, I will give you thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing;
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 you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.
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, Out of the taker of food came food, and out of the strong came the sweet. And at the end of three days they were still not able to give the answer.
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 So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?
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 Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?
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 all the seven days of the feast she went on weeping over him; and on the seventh day he gave her the answer, because she gave him no peace; and she sent word of it to the children 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 Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer to my question.
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 the Lord came rushing on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and, attacking thirty men there, took their clothing from them, and gave it to the men who had given the answer to his hard question. Then, full of wrath, he went back 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 the friend who had been his best man.
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
