Judges 14
1 One day Samson went to Timnah, where a young Philistine woman attracted his attention.
Samson je odšel dol v Timno in v Timni zagledal žensko izmed filistejskih hčera.
2 He went back home and told his father and mother, “A Philistine woman in Timnah caught my attention. Now get her for me because I want to marry her.”
Prišel je gor in svojemu očetu in svoji materi povedal ter rekel: »V Timni sem videl žensko izmed filistejskih hčera. Sedaj mi jo torej vzemita za ženo.«
3 But his father and mother replied, “Can't you find a young woman from our tribe or from our own people? Do you have to go to the heathen Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Just get her for me, because she's the one I find her attractive.”
Potem sta mu njegov oče in njegova mati rekla: » Ali tam ni nobene ženske med hčerami tvojih bratov ali med vsem mojim ljudstvom, da greš, da si vzameš ženo izmed neobrezanih Filistejcev?« Samson je rekel svojemu očetu: »Njo mi vzemi, kajti ta mi ugaja.«
4 (His father and mother didn't realize that this was in the Lord's plans, who was looking for an opportunity to deal with the Philistines; because at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.)
Toda njegov oče in njegova mati nista vedela, da je bilo to od Gospoda, da je iskal priložnost zoper Filistejce, kajti ob tistem času so imeli Filistejci gospostvo nad Izraelom.
5 Samson went to Timnah with his father and mother. When they passed the Timnah vineyards, all of a sudden young lion came roaring out to attack him.
Potem so Samson, njegov oče in njegova mati odšli dol v Timno in prišli do timnatskih vinogradov in glej, proti njemu je zarjovel mlad lev.
6 The Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and he ripped the lion apart with his bare hands as easily as ripping apart a young goat. But he didn't tell his father or mother what he'd done. Then he went on his way.
Gospodov Duh je mogočno prišel nadenj in raztrgal ga je, kakor bi raztrgal kozliča in ničesar ni imel v svoji roki, toda svojemu očetu ali svoji materi ni povedal, kaj je storil.
7 When Samson talked with the woman and decided she was right for him.
Odšel je dol in govoril z žensko in Samsonu je ugajala.
8 Later on when Samson returned to marry her, he turned off the road to look for the lion's carcass. Inside the body was a swarm of bees and their honey.
Čez nekaj časa se je vrnil, da jo vzame in zavil je stran, da pogleda levje truplo in glej, tam je bil roj čebel in med v levjem truplu.
9 He scraped out some of honey into his hands and ate it as he walked. When he got back to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he didn't tell them he'd taken the honey from a lion's carcass.
Od tega je vzel v svoje roke in jedoč šel naprej in prišel k svojemu očetu in materi ter jima dal in onadva sta jedla. Toda ni jima povedal, da je med vzel iz levjega trupla.
10 While his father went to visit the woman, Samson held a drinking party there, because this was the custom among high-class young men.
Tako je njegov oče odšel dol k ženski in Samson je tam priredil zabavo, kajti tako so imeli mladeniči navado delati.
11 When the Philistine people saw him, they arranged for thirty men to accompany him.
Pripetilo se je, ko so ga zagledali, da so privedli trideset družabnikov, da bi bili z njim.
12 “Let me pose a riddle to you,” Samson said to them. “If you can find its meaning and explain it to me during the seven days of the party, I'll give you thirty lines cloaks and thirty sets of clothes.
Samson jim je rekel: »Sedaj vam bom zastavil uganko. Če mi jo lahko v sedmih dneh praznovanja zagotovo razodenete in jo odkrijete, potem vam bom dal trideset rjuh in trideset zamenjav oblek,
13 But if you can't explain it to me, you'll give me thirty lines cloaks and thirty sets of clothes.” “Fine,” they replied. “Let's hear your riddle!”
toda če mi je ne morete oznaniti, potem mi boste vi dali trideset rjuh in trideset zamenjav oblek.« Rekli so mu: »Zastavi svojo uganko, da jo bomo lahko slišali.«
14 “Food came out of the eater, and sweetness came out of the strong,” he said. Three days later they still hadn't worked it out.
Rekel jim je: »Iz jedca je prišla hrana in iz močnega je izšla sladkost.« In v treh dneh niso mogli pojasniti uganke.
15 On the fourth day they came to Samson's wife and told her, “Use your charms to get your husband to explain the riddle and then tell us, or we'll burn you and all your family to death. Did you bring us here just to rob us?”
Pripetilo se je na sedmi dan, da so Samsonovi ženi rekli: »Premami svojega soproga, da nam lahko oznani uganko, sicer bomo tebe in hišo tvojega očeta zažgali z ognjem. Ali ste nas poklicali, da vzamete kar imamo? Mar ni tako?«
16 So Samson's wife went crying to him, saying, “You really do hate me, don't you! You don't love me at all! You have posed a riddle to my people, but haven't even explained it to me.” “So?” he replied. “I haven't even explained it to my father or mother! Why should I explain it to you?”
Samsonova žena je jokala pred njim ter rekla: »Ti me le sovražiš in me ne ljubiš. Otrokom mojega ljudstva si zastavil uganko, meni pa je nisi povedal.« Rekel ji je: »Glej, nisem je povedal svojemu očetu niti svoji materi in jo bom povedal tebi?«
17 She cried in front of him for the whole time of the party, and eventually on the seventh day he explained it to her because she nagged him so much. Then she explained the meaning of the riddle to the Philistine young men.
Pred njim je jokala sedem dni, dokler je trajala njihova zabava in pripetilo se je na sedmi dan, da ji je povedal, ker je boleče pritiskala nanj in uganko je povedala otrokom svojega ljudstva.
18 Before the sun set on the seventh day, the men of the town came to Samson and said, “What's sweeter than honey? What's stronger than a lion?” “If you hadn't used my cow to plough with, you wouldn't have found out the meaning of my riddle,” Samson replied.
Možje iz mesta so mu sedmi dan, preden je sonce zašlo, rekli: »Kaj je slajše od meda? In kaj je močnejše kakor lev?« Rekel jim je: »Če ne bi orali z mojo telico, ne bi odkrili moje uganke.«
19 The Spirit of the Lord swept over him and he went to Ashkelon, killed thirty of their men, took their clothing, and gave it to those who had explained the riddle. Furiously anger, Samson went back to his father's house.
In Gospodov Duh je prišel nadenj in odšel je dol v Aškelón in izmed njih usmrtil trideset mož, vzel njihov plen in dal zamenjavo oblačil tistim, ki so pojasnili uganko. Njegova jeza je bila vžgana in odšel je gor do hiše svojega očeta.
20 Samson's wife was given to his best man who had accompanied him at the wedding.
Toda Samsonova žena je bila dana njegovemu družabniku, ki ga je uporabil kakor svojega prijatelja.
