< Judges 15 >
1 Some time later when the wheat was being harvested, Samson went to pay his wife a visit, taking with him a young goat as a present. “I want to go to my wife in her bedroom,” he said when he arrived, but her father would not let him go in.
Un notikās pēc kādam dienām ap kviešu pļaujamo laiku, tad Simsons savu sievu apmeklēja ar kazlēnu un sacīja: es gribu iet pie savas sievas kambarī; bet viņas tēvs viņam neļāva iet kambarī.
2 “I thought you must totally hate her, so I gave her to your best man,” he told Samson. “But her younger sister is even more attractive—why don't you marry her instead?”
Jo viņas tēvs sacīja: es domāju, ka tu nīdēdams viņu ienīsti, tāpēc es to tavam biedram esmu devis. Vai viņas jaunākā māsa nav skaistāka nekā viņa? Lai jel šī ir tava viņas vietā.
3 “This time I can't be blamed for the trouble I'm going to cause the Philistines,” Samson declared.
Tad Simsons uz tiem sacīja: šim brīdim es esmu nenoziedzīgs pie Fīlistiem, ja es tiem ļaunu darīšu.
4 He went and caught three hundred foxes and tied their tails together, two by two.
Un Simsons aizgāja un gūstīja trīs simt lapsas un ņēma pagales un grieza asti pret asti un lika vienu pagali vidu starp divām astēm.
5 He attached a torch to each of the tied tails and set them on fire. Then he let them loose in the grain fields of the Philistines, setting fire to all the grain, harvested and unharvested, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Un viņš tās pagales iededzināja ar uguni un tās palaida Fīlistu druvās, un iededzināja gan gubas, gan druvas, gan vīna dārzus, gan eļļas kokus.
6 “Who did this?” the Philistines asked. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the man from Timnah,” they were told. “That man gave Samson's wife to Samson's best man.” So the Philistines went and burned her and her father to death.
Tad tie Fīlisti sacīja: kas to ir darījis? Tad tapa sacīts: Simsons, tā Timnieša znots, tāpēc ka tas viņa sievu ņēmis un viņa biedrim devis. Tad Fīlisti nāca un sadedzināja viņu un viņas tēvu ar uguni.
7 Samson told them, “If this is the way you're going to act, then I won't stop until I take my revenge on you!”
Un Simsons uz tiem sacīja: ja jūs tā dariet, tad es pret jums atriebšos un tad tikai mitēšos.
8 He attacked them violently, killing them, and then left to go and live in a cave at the rock of Etam.
Un viņš sita tos par pleciem un gurniem ar lielu sišanu; un viņš nogāja un dzīvoja Etama klints alā.
9 So the Philistine army came and camped in Judah, drawn up for battle near Lehi.
Tad Fīlisti aizgāja un apmeta lēģeri pret Jūdu un apmetās Liejā.
10 The people of Judah asked, “Why have you invaded us?” “We've come to capture Samson, to do to him what he's done to us!” they replied.
Un tie vīri no Jūda sacīja: kāpēc jūs pret mums esat cēlušies? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam nākuši, Simsonu saistīt, lai mēs viņam darām, kā viņš mums darījis.
11 Three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam and asked Samson, “Don't you understand that the Philistines rule over us? What do you think you're doing to us?” “I only did what they did to me,” he replied.
Tad nonāca trīstūkstoš vīri no Jūda uz Etama klints alu un sacīja uz Simsonu: vai tu nezini, ka Fīlisti pār mums valda? Kāpēc tad tu mums to esi darījis? Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kā tie man ir darījuši, tā es atkal tiem esmu darījis.
12 “Well, we've come to take you prisoner and hand you over to the Philistines,” they told him. “Just swear to me that you're not going to kill me yourselves,” Samson answered.
Un tie uz viņu sacīja: mēs esam nonākuši tevi saistīt un tevi nodot Fīlistu rokā. Un Simsons uz tiem sacīja: zvērējiet man, ka jūs mani negribat nokaut.
13 “No, we won't,” they assured him. “We'll only tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines. We certainly aren't going to kill you!” They tied him using two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
Un tie runāja uz viņu sacīdami: nē, bet mēs esam nākuši tevi saistīt un tevi viņu rokā nodot, bet mēs tevi nenokausim. Un tie viņu saistīja ar divām jaunām virvēm un to veda augšām no tās klints.
14 When Samson got close to Lehi, the Philistines ran towards him, shouting at him. But the Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and the ropes tying his arms together became as weak as burnt flax, and his hands broke free.
Kad nu viņš līdz Liejai nāca, tad Fīlisti viņam gavilēja pretī, bet Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār viņu, un tās virves, kas bija ap viņa rokām, kļuva tā kā linu pavedieni, ko uguns ir apsvilinājis, un viņa saites trūka no viņa rokām.
15 He grabbed the fresh jawbone of a donkey, using it to kill a thousand Philistines.
Un viņš atrada jaunu ēzeļa žokļa kaulu, un izstiepa savu roku un to ņēma un ar to nosita tūkstoš vīrus.
16 Then Samson declared, “With a donkey's jawbone I have piled the dead into heaps. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men.”
Un Simsons sacīja: ar ēzeļa žokļa kaulu vienu pulku, divus pulkus, ar ēzeļa žokļa kaulu nokāvu tūkstoš vīrus.
17 After Samson had finished his speech, he threw away the jawbone, and he named the place Hill of the Jawbone.
Un kad viņš bija izrunājis, tad viņš nometa to žokļa kaulu no savas rokas un nosauca to vietu RamatLieja (žokļa kaula kalns).
18 He was now extremely thirsty, and he Samson called out to the Lord, saying, “You have achieved this amazing victory through your servant, but now do I have to die of thirst and be captured by the heathen?”
Un viņš bija ļoti izslāpis un piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: Tu caur Sava kalpa roku šo lielo pestīšanu esi devis, un nu man aiz slāpēm jāmirst un jākrīt šo neapgraizīto rokā.
19 So God split open a rock seam in Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank and his strength returned—he felt much better. That's why he named it the Spring of the Caller, and it's still there in Lehi to this very day.
Tad Dievs pāršķēla kādu dobumu, kas bija Liejā; tad ūdens no tā izgāja, un viņš dzēra. Un viņa gars griezās atpakaļ, un viņš atspirga; tāpēc viņš to vietu nosauca Piesaucēja avotu, kas ir Liejā līdz šai dienai.
20 Samson led Israel as judge for twenty years during the time of the Philistines.
Un viņš tiesāja Israēli Fīlistu laikā divdesmit gadus.
