Judges 15
1 And it comes to pass after [some] days, in the days of wheat-harvest, that Samson looks after his wife, with a kid of the goats, and says, “I go in to my wife, to the inner chamber”; and her father has not permitted him to go in,
過了一些日子，正是收割麥子的時期，三松帶了一隻小山羊去看他的妻子；他說：「我要到內室去親近我的妻子。」但是妻子的父親不讓他進去，
2 and her father says, “I certainly said that you surely hated her, and I give her to your companion; is her younger sister not better than she? Please let her be to you instead of her.”
且說：「我以為你一定厭惡了她，所以我將她嫁給你的一個同伴；她的妹妹不是比她更美麗嗎﹖你可娶而代之。」
3 And Samson says of them, “I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing evil with them.”
三松對他們說：「我若加害培肋舍特人，這一次我可不負責任。」
4 And Samson goes and catches three hundred foxes, and takes torches, and turns tail to tail, and puts a torch between the two tails, in the midst,
於是三松去捉了三百隻狐狸，又拿火把來，把狐狸的尾和尾結在一起，將火把插在兩尾中間，
5 and kindles fire in the torches, and sends [them] out into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burns [it] from heap even to standing grain, even to vineyard [and] olive-yard.
點著火把，將狐狸放入培肋舍特人的莊田內，把堆集的麥捆，立著的莊稼，葡萄園和橄欖園都燒了。
6 And the Philistines say, “Who has done this?” And they say, “Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken away his wife, and gives her to his companion”; and the Philistines go up, and burn her and her father with fire.
培肋舍特人問說：「是誰作了這事﹖」有人說：「是提默納人的女婿三松，因為他的岳父把他的妻子嫁給了他的一個同伴。」培肋舍特人就上去，放火燒了那女子和她的父家。
7 And Samson says to them, “Though you do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterward I cease!”
三松向他們說：「你們既然這樣作，我必向你們報復，然後纔罷休。」
8 And he strikes them hip and thigh [with] a great striking, and goes down and dwells in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
三松遂打擊他們，腿腰亂砍，大殺一陣；然後下去住在厄坦的一個石穴內。以驢骨擊殺千人
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
培肋舍特人上去，在猶大紮營，進襲肋希。
10 and the men of Judah say, “Why have you come up against us?” And they say, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
猶大問說：「你們為什麼上來攻打我們﹖」他們答說：「我們上來是為拘捕三松，要報復他對我們所行的。」
11 And three thousand men of Judah go down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and say to Samson, “Have you now known that the Philistines are rulers over us? And what [is] this you have done to us?” And he says to them, “As they did to me, so I did to them.”
於是有三千猶大人到厄坦石穴那裏，對三松說：「難道你不知道培肋舍特人統治我們嗎﹖你為什麼作連累我們的事﹖」他回答說：「他們怎樣待我，我也怎樣待他們。」
12 And they say to him, “We have come down to bind you—to give you into the hand of the Philistines.” And Samson says to them, “Swear to me, lest you fall on me yourselves.”
他們就向他說：「我們下來是為拘捕你，把你交在培肋舍特人手中。」三松向他們說：「你們要對我發誓，不殺害我! 」
13 And they speak to him, saying, “No, but we certainly bind you, and have given you into their hand, and we certainly do not put you to death”; and they bind him with two thick bands, new ones, and bring him up from the rock.
他們回答說：「一定不；我們只把你綁好，交在他們手中，決不殺你。」他們於是兩條新繩把他捆起，從石穴裏把他拉上來。
14 He has come to Lehi—and the Philistines have shouted at meeting him—and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over him, and the thick bands which [are] on his arms are as flax which they burn with fire, and his bands are melted from off his hands,
他來到肋希，培肋舍特人吶喊著出來迎他；那時上主的神突然降在他身上，他手臂上的繩索，好像著火的細麻一樣，綁他的繩子從他的手上落下。
15 and he finds a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and puts forth his hand and takes it, and strikes down one thousand men with it.
他找到一塊鮮驢腮骨，伸手拿起來，擊殺了一千人。
16 And Samson says, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heap on heaps—I have struck down one thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey!”
然後三松喊說：「用驢腮骨殺的一堆一堆，用驢腮骨殺了一千。」
17 And it comes to pass, when he finishes speaking, that he casts away the jawbone out of his hand, and calls that place Ramath-Lehi;
當他說完這話，就順手把腮骨拋棄了；因此那地名叫辣瑪肋希。
18 and he thirsts exceedingly, and calls to YHWH, and says, “You have given this great salvation by the hand of Your servant; and now, I die with thirst, and have fallen into the hand of the uncircumcised.”
此後，他非常口渴，呼籲上主說：「你藉你僕人的手得了這次大勝利；如今我卻要渴死，陷於這些沒有割損的人手中。」
19 And God cleaves the hollow place which [is] in Lehi, and waters come out of it, and he drinks, and his spirit comes back, and he revives; therefore [one] has called its name “The fountain of him who is calling,” which [is] in Lehi to this day.
上主遂在肋希使一窪地裂開，湧出水來；他喝了水，精神恢復，無異再生；因此那泉稱作「呼籲泉，」至今還在肋希。
20 And he judges Israel in the days of the Philistines [for] twenty years.
他在培肋舍特人統治以色列的時日內，作以色列民長二十年。
