Judges 15
1 And it came to pass after a time, in the days of wheat harvest, that Sampson visited his wife with a kid, and said, I will go in to my wife even into the chamber: but her father did not suffer him to go in.
Pero al cabo de un tiempo, en la época de la cosecha del trigo, Sansón visitó a su mujer con un cabrito. Dijo: “Entraré en la habitación de mi mujer”. Pero su padre no le permitió entrar.
2 And her father spoke, saying, I said that thou didst surely hate her, and I gave her to one of thy friends: [is] not her younger sister better than she? let her be to thee instead of her.
Su padre le dijo: “Ciertamente pensé que la odiabas por completo; por eso se la di a tu compañera. ¿No es su hermana menor más hermosa que ella? Por favor, tómala a ella en su lugar”.
3 And Sampson said to them, Even for once am I guiltless with regard to the Philistines, in that I do mischief among them.
Sansón les dijo: “Esta vez seré irreprochable ante los filisteos cuando les haga daño”.
4 And Sampson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch between two tails, and fastened it.
Sansón fue y atrapó trescientas zorras, tomó antorchas, les dio la vuelta a la cola y puso una antorcha en medio de cada dos colas.
5 And he set fire to the torches, and sent [the foxes] into the corn of the Philistines; and every thing was burnt from the threshing floor to the standing corn, and even to the vineyard and olives.
Después de prender las antorchas, las dejó entrar en el grano en pie de los filisteos, y quemó tanto los choques como el grano en pie, y también los olivares.
6 And the Philistines said, Who [has done] these things? and they said, Sampson the son-in-law of the Thamnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to one of his friends; and the Philistines went up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
Entonces los filisteos dijeron: “¿Quién ha hecho esto?” Dijeron: “Sansón, el yerno del timnita, porque ha tomado a su mujer y se la ha dado a su compañero”. Los filisteos subieron, y la quemaron a ella y a su padre con fuego.
7 And Sampson said to them, Though ye may have dealt thus with her, verily I will be avenged of you, and afterwards I will cease.
Sansón les dijo: “Si os comportáis así, ciertamente me vengaré de vosotros, y después cesaré”.
8 And he smote them leg on thigh [with] a great overthrow; and went down and dwelt in a cave of the rock Etam.
Los golpeó en la cadera y en el muslo con una gran matanza, y descendió y vivió en la cueva de la roca de Etam.
9 And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Juda, and spread themselves abroad in Lechi.
Entonces los filisteos subieron, acamparon en Judá y se extendieron en Lehi.
10 And the men of Juda said, Why are ye come up against us? and the Philistines said, We are come up to bind Sampson, and to do to him as he has done to us.
Los hombres de Judá dijeron: “¿Por qué has subido contra nosotros?” Dijeron: “Hemos subido para atar a Sansón, para hacer con él lo que él ha hecho con nosotros”.
11 And the three thousand men of Juda went down to the hole of the rock Etam, and they said to Sampson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? and what [is] this [that] thou hast done to us? and Sampson said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
Entonces tres mil hombres de Judá bajaron a la cueva de la roca de Etam y le dijeron a Sansón: “¿No sabes que los filisteos nos dominan? ¿Qué es, pues, lo que nos has hecho?” Les dijo: “Como me hicieron a mí, así les he hecho yo”.
12 And they said to him, We are come down to bind thee to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines: and Sampson said to them, Swear to me that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
Le dijeron: “Hemos bajado para atarte y entregarte en manos de los filisteos”. Sansón les dijo: “Júrenme que no me atacarán ustedes mismos”.
13 And they spoke to him, saying, Nay, but we will only bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand, and will by no means slay thee: and they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him from that rock.
Le hablaron diciendo: “No, sino que te ataremos bien y te entregaremos en sus manos; pero seguro que no te mataremos”. Lo ataron con dos cuerdas nuevas y lo sacaron de la roca.
14 And they came to Lechi: and the Philistines shouted, and ran to meet him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as tow which is burnt with fire; and his bonds were consumed from off his hands.
Cuando llegó a Lehi, los filisteos gritaron al recibirlo. Entonces el Espíritu de Yahvé vino poderosamente sobre él, y las cuerdas que tenía en sus brazos se volvieron como lino quemado en el fuego, y se le cayeron las correas de las manos.
15 And he found the jaw-bone of an ass that had been cast away, and he put forth his hand and took it, and smote with it a thousand men.
Encontró una quijada fresca de asno, extendió la mano, la tomó y golpeó con ella a mil hombres.
16 And Sampson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass I have utterly destroyed them, for with the jaw-bone of an ass I have smitten a thousand men.
Sansón dijo: “Con la quijada de un asno, montones y montones; con la quijada de un asno he golpeado a mil hombres”.
17 And it came to pass when he ceased speaking, that he cast the jaw-bone out of his hand; and he called that place the Lifting of the jaw-bone.
Cuando terminó de hablar, arrojó la quijada de su mano; y aquel lugar se llamó Ramath Lehi.
18 And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, Thou hast been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant, and new shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Tenía mucha sed, e invocó a Yahvé y dijo: “Tú has dado esta gran liberación por mano de tu siervo; ¿y ahora moriré de sed y caeré en manos de los incircuncisos?”
19 And God broke open a hollow place in the jaw, and there came thence water, and he drank; and his spirit returned and he revived: therefore the name of the fountain was called 'The well of the invoker,' which is in Lechi, until this day.
Pero Dios partió el hueco que hay en Lehi, y salió agua de él. Cuando hubo bebido, su espíritu regresó, y revivió. Por eso su nombre fue llamado En Hakkore, que está en Lehi, hasta el día de hoy.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Juzgó a Israel durante veinte años en los días de los filisteos.
