Judges 14
1 Now 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 (and his father and his mother, ) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out 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 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.)
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 So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.
At siya'y lumusong at nakipagusap sa babae, at siya'y lubhang nakalulugod kay Samson.
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.
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 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.
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 Then Samson went down to the woman, and made a feast there, as was the way among young men.
At nilusong ng kaniyang ama ang babae: at gumawa si Samson ng isang kasayahan doon; sapagka't kinaugaliang ginagawang gayon ng mga binata.
11 And he took thirty friends, and they were with him.
At nangyari, pagkakita nila sa kaniya, na sila'y nagdala ng tatlong pung kasama, upang maging kasama niya.
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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the friend who had been his best man.
Nguni't ang asawa ni Samson ay ibinigay sa kaniyang kasama, na siya niyang inaaring parang kaniyang kaibigan.
