Judges 15
1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
Y aconteció después de algunos días, que en el tiempo de la segada del trigo Samsón visitó a su mujer con un cabrito de las cabras, diciendo: Entraré a mi mujer a la cámara. Mas el padre de ella no le dejó entrar.
2 And her father said, I verily thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray you, instead of her.
Y dijo el padre de ella: Yo he dicho que tú la aborrecías; y díla a tu compañero. Mas su hermana menor ¿no es más hermosa que ella? Tómala pues en su lugar.
3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Y Samsón les respondió: yo seré sin culpa de esta vez para con los Filisteos, si mal les hiciere.
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
Y fue Samsón, y tomó trescientas zorras, y tomando tizones y juntándolas por las colas, puso entre cada dos colas un tizón.
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
Y encendiendo los tizones echólas en los panes de los Filisteos, y quemó montones y mieses, y viñas y olivares.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Y dijeron los Filisteos: ¿Quién hizo esto? Y fuéles dicho: Samsón el yerno del Tamnateo, porque le quitó su mujer, y la dio a su compañero. Y vinieron los Filisteos, y quemaron a fuego a ella y a su padre.
7 And Samson said unto them, Though all of you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Entonces Samsón les dijo: ¿Así lo habíais de hacer? mas yo me vengaré de vosotros, y después cesaré.
8 And he stroke them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
E hiriólos de gran mortandad pierna y muslo: y descendió, y asentó en la cueva de la peña de Etam.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Y los Filisteos subieron y pusieron campo en Judá, y tendiéronse por Lequi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are all of you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
Y los varones de Judá les dijeron: ¿Por qué habéis subido contra nosotros? Y ellos respondieron: Para prender a Samsón hemos subido: para hacerle como él nos ha hecho.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
Y vinieron tres mil hombres de Judá a la cueva de la peña de Etam, y dijeron a Samsón: ¿No sabes tú que los Filisteos dominan sobre nosotros? ¿Por qué nos has hecho esto? Y él les respondió: Yo les he hecho como ellos me hicieron.
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that all of you will not fall upon me yourselves.
Ellos entonces le dijeron: Nosotros hemos venido para prenderte, y entregarte de mano de los Filisteos. Y Samsón les respondió: Jurádme que vosotros no me mataréis.
13 And they spoke unto him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Y ellos le respondieron, diciendo: No: solamente te prenderemos, y te entregaremos en sus manos: mas no te mataremos. Entonces atáronle con dos cuerdas nuevas, e hiciéronle venir de la peña.
14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Y como vino hasta Lequi, los Filisteos le salieron a recibir con alarido: y el Espíritu de Jehová cayó sobre él, y las cuerdas que estaban en sus brazos se tornaron como lino quemado con fuego, y las ataduras se cayeron de sus manos.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Y hallando a mano una quijada de asno aun fresca, extendió la mano y tomóla, e hirió con ella mil hombres.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Entonces Samsón dijo: Con una quijada de asno, un montón, dos montones. Con una quijada de asno herí mil varones.
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
Y acabando de hablar, echó de su mano la quijada, y llamó a aquel lugar Ramat-lequi.
18 And he was sore thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Y teniendo gran sed, clamó a Jehová, y dijo: Tú has dado esta gran salud por la mano de tu siervo: y ahora yo moriré de sed, y caeré en la mano de los incircuncisos.
19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water from it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
Entonces Dios quebró una muela que estaba en la quijada, y salieron de allí aguas, y bebió, y volvió en su espíritu, y vivió. Por tanto llamó su nombre de aquel lugar, En-haccore, el cual es en Lequi hasta hoy.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Y juzgó a Israel en los días de los Filisteos veinte años.
