Judges 14
1 Then Samson descended to Timnah. And seeing there a woman from the daughters of the Philistines,
I siðe Samson u Tamnat, i vidje ondje jednu djevojku izmeðu kæeri Filistejskih.
2 he went up, and he told his father and his mother, saying: “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. I ask that you take her to me as wife.”
I vrativši se kaza ocu svojemu i materi svojoj govoreæi: vidjeh djevojku u Tamnatu izmeðu kæeri Filistejskih; oženite me njom.
3 And his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, so that you would be willing to take a wife from the Philistines, who are uncircumcised?” And Samson said to his father: “Take this woman to me. For she has pleased my eyes.”
A otac i mati rekoše mu: zar nema djevojke meðu kæerima tvoje braæe u svem narodu mom, da ideš da se oženiš izmeðu Filisteja neobrezanijeh? A Samson odgovori ocu svojemu: njom me oženi, jer mi je ona omiljela.
4 Now his parents did not know that the matter was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time, the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
A otac i mati njegova ne znadijahu da je to od Gospoda, i da traži zadjevicu s Filistejima; jer u ono vrijeme Filisteji vladahu sinovima Izrailjevijem.
5 And so, Samson descended with his father and mother to Timnah. And when they had arrived at the vineyards of the town, he saw a young lion, savage and roaring, and it met him.
I tako side Samson s ocem svojim i s materom svojom u Tamnat, i kad doðoše do vinograda Tamnatskih, gle, mlad lav rièuæi sukobi ga.
6 Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon Samson, and he tore apart the lion, like a young goat being torn into pieces, having nothing at all in his hand. And he was not willing to reveal this to his father and mother.
I duh Gospodnji side na nj, te rastrže lava kao jare nemajuæi ništa u ruci: i ne kaza ocu ni materi šta je uèinio.
7 And he went down and spoke to the woman who had pleased his eyes.
I tako došavši govori s djevojkom, i ona omilje Samsonu.
8 And after some days, returning to marry her, he turned aside so that he might see the carcass of the lion. And behold, there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, with a honeycomb.
A poslije nekoliko dana iduæi opet da je odvede, svrne da vidi mrtvoga lava; a gle, u mrtvom lavu roj pèela i med.
9 And when he had taken it in his hands, he ate it along the way. And arriving to his father and mother, he gave them a portion, and they also ate it. Yet he was not willing to reveal to them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
I izvadi ga u ruku, i poðe putem jeduæi; i kad doðe k ocu i materi, dade im te jedoše; ali im ne reèe da je iz mrtvoga lava izvadio med.
10 And so his father went down to the woman, and he made a feast for his son Samson. For so the young men were accustomed to do.
I tako doðe otac njegov k onoj djevojci, i Samson uèini ondje veselje, jer tako èinjahu momci.
11 And when the citizens of that place had seen him, they presented to him thirty companions to be with him.
I kad ga vidješe Filisteji, izabraše trideset druga da budu s njim.
12 And Samson said to them: “I will propose to you a problem, which, if you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.
I reèe im Samson: ja æu vam zagonenuti zagonetku, pa ako mi je odgonenete za sedam dana dok je veselje i pogodite, daæu vam trideset košulja i tridesetore sveèane haljine.
13 But if you are not able to solve it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.” And they answered him, “Propose the problem, so that we may hear it.”
Ako li ne odgonenete, vi æete dati meni trideset košulja i tridesetore sveèane haljine. A oni mu rekoše: zagoneni zagonetku svoju, da èujemo.
14 And he said to them, “Food went forth from that which eats, and sweetness went forth from that which is strong.” And they were unable to solve the proposition for three days.
Tada im reèe: od onoga koji jede izide jelo, i od ljutoga izide slatko. I ne mogoše odgonenuti zagonetke tri dana.
15 And when the seventh day had arrived, they said to the wife of Samson: “Coax your husband, and persuade him to reveal to you what the proposition means. But if you are not willing to do so, we will burn you and your father’s house. Or have you called us to the wedding in order to despoil us?”
I sedmi dan rekoše ženi Samsonovoj: nagovori muža svojega da nam kaže zagonetku, ili æemo spaliti ognjem tebe i dom oca tvojega. Jeste li nas zato pozvali da nam uzmete imanje? je li tako?
16 And she shed tears before Samson, and she complained, saying: “You hate me, and you do not love me. That is why you do not want to explain to me the problem, which you have proposed to the sons of my people.” But he responded: “I was not willing to reveal it to my father and mother. And so, how can I reveal it to you?”
I stade plakati žena Samsonova pred njim govoreæi: ti mrziš na me, i ti me ne ljubiš; zagonenuo si zagonetku sinovima naroda mojega, a neæeš meni da je kažeš. A on joj reèe: gle, ni ocu svojemu ni materi svojoj nijesam je kazao, a tebi da je kažem?
17 Therefore, she wept before him during the seven days of the feast. And at length, on the seventh day, since she had been troubling him, he explained it. And immediately she revealed it to her countrymen.
I ona plaka pred njim za sedam dana dokle trajaše veselje. A sedmi dan kaza joj, jer bješe navalila na nj; a ona kaza zagonetku sinovima naroda svojega.
18 And they, on the seventh day, before the sun declined, said to him: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have uncovered my proposition.”
Tada mu rekoše ljudi grada onoga sedmi dan dok sunce ne zaðe: šta je slaðe od meda, i šta je ljuæe od lava? A on im reèe: da nijeste orali na mojoj junici, ne biste pogodili moje zagonetke.
19 And so the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he descended to Ashkelon, and in that place he struck down thirty men. And taking away their garments, he gave them to those who had solved the problem. And being exceedingly angry, he went up to his father’s house.
I doðe na nj duh Gospodnji, te siðe u Askalon, i pobi ondje trideset ljudi, i uze odijelo s njih i dade sveèane haljine onima koji odgonenuše zagonetku; i rasrdi se vrlo i otide kuæi oca svojega.
20 Then his wife took as a husband one of his friends and wedding companions.
A žena Samsonova udade se za druga njegova, s kojim se bijaše udružio.
