Judges 14
1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Samson je odšel dol v Timno in v Timni zagledal žensko izmed filistejskih hčera.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said: 'I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore get her for me to wife.'
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 Then his father and his mother said unto him: 'Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?' And Samson said unto his father: 'Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.'
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 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule 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 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and, behold, a young lion roared against 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 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as one would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
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 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Odšel je dol in govoril z žensko in Samsonu je ugajala.
8 And after a while he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and 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 And he scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went, and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.
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 And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Tako je njegov oče odšel dol k ženski in Samson je tam priredil zabavo, kajti tako so imeli mladeniči navado delati.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Pripetilo se je, ko so ga zagledali, da so privedli trideset družabnikov, da bi bili z njim.
12 And Samson said unto them: 'Let me now put forth a riddle unto you; if ye can declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
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 ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment.' And they said unto him: 'Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.'
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 And he said unto them: Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
Rekel jim je: »Iz jedca je prišla hrana in iz močnega je izšla sladkost.« In v treh dneh niso mogli pojasniti uganke.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife: 'Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire; have ye called us hither to impoverish 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 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said: 'Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and wilt thou not tell it me?' And he said unto her: 'Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?'
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 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
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 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them: If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
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 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of raiment unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up 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 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had had for his friend.
Toda Samsonova žena je bila dana njegovemu družabniku, ki ga je uporabil kakor svojega prijatelja.
