Judges 14
1 Nowe Samson went downe to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims,
那時三松下到提默納；在那裏見了一個女子，她是培肋舍特人的女兒。
2 And he came vp and told his father and his mother and saide, I haue seene a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims: now therfore giue me her to wife.
三松上去稟告他的父母說：「我在提默納見了一個女子，她是培肋舍特人的女兒，願你們現今把她給我娶來為妻! 」
3 Then his father and his mother sayde vnto him, Is there neuer a wife among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou must go to take a wife of the vncircumcised Philistims? And Samson sayd vnto his father, Giue mee her, for she pleaseth me well.
他的父母對他說：「難道在你兄弟的女兒中，在我們民族間沒有女子嗎﹖為什麼你要去從那些未受割損的培肋舍特人中間娶妻呢﹖」三松向他的父親說：「請給我娶了她! 因為我實在喜歡她。」
4 But his father and his mother knewe not that it came of the Lord, that he should seeke an occasion against the Philistims: for at that time the Philistims reigned ouer Israel.
他的父母原不知道這事是出於上主，使他找機會攻擊培肋舍特，因為那時培肋舍特正統治以色列。
5 Then went Samson and his father and his mother downe to Timnath, and came to ye vineyardes at Timnath: and beholde, a young Lyon roared vpon him.
三松往提默納去，來到提默納的葡萄園時，看，有一隻小獅子向他咆哮；
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon him, and he tare him, as one should haue rent a kid, and had nothing in his hand, neither told he his father nor his mother what he had done.
上主的神突然降在他身上，他當時雖赤手空拳，竟將那獅子撕裂，好像撕裂小山羊；他沒有把所作的這事告訴他的父母。
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman which was beautifull in the eyes of Samson.
此後他下去向那女子談情，三松很喜愛她。
8 And within a fewe dayes, when he returned to receiue her, he went aside to see the karkeis of the Lion: and behold, there was a swarme of bees, and hony in the body of the Lyon.
過了不久，回去娶她，繞路去看那隻死獅子。看，在獅子屍體內有一窩蜜蜂作了蜜。
9 And he tooke therof in his handes, and went eating, and came to his father and to his mother, and gaue vnto them, and they did eate: but hee told not them, that he had taken the hony out of the body of the lyon.
他取了些蜜放在手中，繼續前行，一面走一面吃；來到他父母那裏，也給他們一些，他們也吃了，但他沒有告訴他們這蜜是從獅子屍體內取來的。
10 So his father went down vnto the woman, and Samson made there a feast: for so vsed the yong men to doe.
三松又來到那女子那裏，有人為他設了婚筵，因為青年人們慣常這樣做。
11 And when they sawe him, they brought thirtie companions to be with him.
但有人害怕他，便請來三十個同伴陪伴他。
12 Then Samson sayd vnto them, I will nowe put forth a riddle vnto you: and if you can declare it me within seuen dayes of the feast, and finde it out, I will giue you thirty sheetes, and thirtie change of garments.
三松對他們說：「讓我給你們說個謎語，如果你們能在這七天婚筵期內，給我猜出來，我就給你們三十件襯衫和三十套禮服。
13 But if you cannot declare it mee, then shall yee giue mee thirty sheetes and thirtie change of garments. And they answered him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may heare it.
若是你們不能給我解說，你們就得給我三十件襯衫和三十套禮服。」他們對他說：「請你把謎語講給我們聽。」
14 And he sayd vnto them, Out of the eater came meate, and out of the strong came sweetenesse: and they could not in three dayes expound the riddle.
他向他們說：「食者生出食品，強者生出甘甜。」他們三天之久不能解這謎語。
15 And when the seuenth day was come, they said vnto Samsons wife, Entise thine husband, that he may declare vs the riddle, lest wee burne thee and thy fathers house with fire. Haue ye called vs, to possesse vs? is it not so?
到了第四天，他們對三松的妻子說：「請引誘你的丈夫，把謎語說給你，以免我們放火燒你和你的父家。難道你請了我們來，是為了奪取我們的東西嗎﹖」
16 And Samsons wife wept before him, and said, Surely thou hatest mee and louest mee not: for thou hast put forth a riddle vnto the children of my people, and hast not told it mee. And hee sayd vnto her, Beholde, I haue not told it my father, nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
三松的妻子就在他眼前哭哭啼啼說：「你是恨我，而不是愛我! 你給我的同胞說謎語，都不解給我聽。」三松對她說：「你看，我都沒有告訴我的父母，怎能告訴你﹖」
17 Then Samsons wife wept before him seuen dayes, while their feast lasted: and when the seuenth day came he tolde her, because she was importunate vpon him: so she told the riddle to the children of her people.
那七天婚筵期內，她常在他跟前哭哭啼啼；到了第七天，由於她不斷的催逼，三松便將謎底告訴了她；她就把謎底告訴自己的同胞。
18 And the men of ye citie sayde vnto him the seuenth day before the Sunne went downe, What is sweeter then honie? and what is stronger then a lyon? Then sayd hee vnto them, If yee had not plowed with my heiffer, yee had not found out my riddle.
到了第七天，在他進洞房之前，本城的人給他說：「有什麼比蜜還甜﹖有什麼比獅子還強﹖」他向他們說：「你們若不是用我的小母牛耕田，你們決不會猜出我的謎底。」
19 And the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he went downe to Ashkelon, and slew thirtie men of them and spoyled them, and gaue chaunge of garments vnto them, which expounded the riddle: and his wrath was kindled, and he went vp to his fathers house.
上主的神又突然降在他身上，他就下到阿市刻隆，擊殺了三十個人，拿了所劫奪的東西，把三十套禮服送給猜中謎語的人；以後憤怒的回到父親家裏。
20 Then Samsons wife was giuen to his companion, whom he had vsed as his friend.
三松的妻子以後卻跟了作他伴郎的一個同伴。
