Judges 14
1 And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.
И сиђе Самсон у Тамнат, и виде онде једну девојку између кћери филистејских.
2 And he went up and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a wife.
И вративши се каза оцу свом и матери својој говорећи: Видех девојку у Тамнату између кћери филистејских; ожените ме њом.
3 And his father and his mother said to him, Are there no daughters of your brethren, and [is there not] a woman of all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she [is] right in my eyes.
А отац и мати рекоше му: Зар нема девојке међу кћерима твоје браће у свем народу мом, да идеш да се ожениш између Филистеја необрезаних? А Самсон одговори оцу свом: Њом ме ожени, јер ми је она омилела.
4 And his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.
А отац и мати његова не знаху да је то од Господа, и да тражи задевицу с Филистејима; јер у оно време Филистеји владаху синовима Израиљевим.
5 And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha; and behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.
И тако сиђе Самсон с оцем својим и с матером својом у Тамнат, и кад дођоше до винограда тамнатских, гле, млад лав ричући сукоби га.
6 And the spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father and his mother what he had done.
И дух Господњи сиђе на њ, те растрже лава као јаре немајући ништа у руци: и не каза оцу ни матери шта је учинио.
7 And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
И тако дошавши говори с девојком, и она омиле Самсону.
8 And after some time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees, and honey [were] in the mouth of the lion.
А после неколико дана идући опет да је одведе, сврне да види мртвог лава; а гле, у мртвом лаву рој пчела и мед.
9 And he took it into his hands, and went on eating, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out of the mouth of the lion.
И извади га у руку, и пође путем једући; и кад дође к оцу и матери, даде им те једоше; али им не рече да је из мртвог лава извадио мед.
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young men are used to do.
И тако дође отац његов к оној девојци, и Самсон учини онде весеље, јер тако чињаху момци.
11 And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
И кад га видеше Филистеји, изабраше тридесет другова да буду с њим.
12 And Sampson said to them, I propound you a riddle: if you will indeed tell it me, and discover it within the seven days of the feast, I will you give thirty sheets and thirty changes of raiment.
И рече им Самсон: Ја ћу вам загонетнути загонетку, па ако ми је одгонетнете за седам дана док је весеље и погодите, даћу вам тридесет кошуља и тридесет свечаних хаљина.
13 And if you can’t tell it me, you shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said to him, Propound your riddle, and we will hear it.
Ако ли не одгонетнете, ви ћете дати мени тридесет кошуља и тридесеторе свечане хаљине. А они му рекоше: Загонетни загонетку своју, да чујемо.
14 And he said to them, Meat came forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not tell the riddle for three days.
Тада им рече; од оног који једе изиђе јело, и од љутог изиђе слатко. И не могаше одгонетнути загонетке три дана.
15 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now your husband, and let him tell you the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: did you invite us to do us violence?
И седми дан рекоше жени Самсоновој: Наговори мужа свог да нам каже загонетку, или ћемо спалити огњем тебе и дом оца твог. Јесте ли нас зато позвали да нам узмете имање? Је ли тако?
16 And Sampson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not; for the riddle which you have propounded to the children of my people you have not told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and my mother, shall I tell it to you?
И стаде плакати жена Самсонова пред њим говорећи: Ти мрзиш на ме, и ти ме не љубиш; загонетнуо си загонетку синовима народа мог, а нећеш мени да кажеш. А он јој рече: Гле, ни оцу свом ни матери својој нисам је казао, а теби да је кажем?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it to the children of her people.
И она плака пред њим за седам дана докле трајаше весеље. А седми дан каза јој, јер беше навалила на њ: а она каза загонетку синовима народа свог.
18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day, before sunrise, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have known my riddle.
Тада му рекоше људи града оног седми дан док сунце не зађе: Шта је слађе од меда, и шта је љуће од лава? А он им рече: Да нисте орали на мојој јуници, не бисте погодили моје загонетке.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and went up to the house of his father.
И дође на њ дух Господњи, те сиђе у Аскалон, и поби онде тридесет људи, и узе одело с њих и даде свечане хаљине онима који одгонетнуше загонетку; и расрди се врло и отиде кући оца свог.
20 And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
А жена Самсонова удаде се за друга његовог, с којим се беше удружио.
