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,
Og det skete nogen Tid derefter, udi Hvedehøstens Dage, at Samson besøgte sin Hustru med et Gedekid, og han sagde: Jeg vil gaa til min Hustru ind i Kammeret, og hendes Fader tilstedte ham ikke at komme ind.
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.”
Og hendes Fader sagde: Jeg tænkte, at du havde faaet Had til hende, og jeg gav din Selskabsbroder hende; er ikke hendes yngre Søster bedre end hun? Kære, lad hende være din i Stedet for denne.
3 And Samson says of them, “I am more innocent this time than the Philistines, though I am doing evil with them.”
Da sagde Samson til dem: Jeg er denne Gang uden Skyld for Filisterne, naar jeg gør ondt imod dem.
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,
Og Samson gik hen og greb tre Hundrede Bæve, og han tog Blus og vendte Stjært til Stjært og satte et Blus midt imellem to Stjærte.
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.
Og han tændte Ild i Blussene og lod dem fare ind iblandt Filisternes staaende Korn, og han satte Ild baade paa Negene og paa det staaende Korn og paa Olivenhaverne.
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.
Da sagde Filisterne: Hvo har gjort dette? og de sagde: Samson, den Thimniters Svigersøn, fordi han tog hans Hustru og gav hans Selskabsbroder hende; da droge Filisterne op og opbrændte hende og hendes Fader med Ild.
7 And Samson says to them, “Though you do thus, nevertheless I am avenged on you, and afterward I cease!”
Men Samson sagde til dem: Naar I gøre saaledes, da vil jeg ikke holde op, førend jeg faar hævnet mig paa eder.
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.
Og han slog dem med et stort Slag paa Hoften og paa Laarene; og han gik ned og boede i en Hule i Klippen Etham.
9 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are spread out in Lehi,
Da droge Filisterne op og lejrede sig imod Juda og adspredte sig i Leki.
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.”
Og Judas Mænd sagde: Hvi ere I dragne op imod os? og de sagde: Vi ere komne op for at binde Samson, for at gøre ved ham, ligesom han har gjort ved os.
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.”
Da droge tre Tusinde Mænd af Juda ned til Hulen i Klippen Etham, og de sagde til Samson: Ved du ikke, at Filisterne herske over os, og hvorfor har du gjort dette imod os? og han sagde til dem: Ligesom de gjorde ved mig, saa har jeg gjort ved dem.
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.”
Og de sagde til ham: Vi ere komne ned for at binde dig, for at give dig i Filisternes Haand, og Samson sagde til dem: Sværger mig, at I ikke ville anfalde mig.
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.
Og de sagde til ham: Nej, men vi ville kun binde dig og give dig i deres Haand, men ikke slaa dig ihjel; og de bandt ham med to nye Reb, og de førte ham op fra Klippen.
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,
Der han kom til Leki, da skrege Filisterne mod ham; men Herrens Aand kom heftig over ham, og de Reb, som vare om hans Arme, bleve som Traade, brændte af Ilden, og hans Baand smuldrede og faldt af hans Hænder.
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.
Og han fandt en frisk Asenkæft, og han udrakte sin Haand og tog den og slog dermed tusinde Mand.
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!”
Og Samson sagde: Med en Asenkæft har jeg slaget en Hob, ja to Hobe, med en Asenkæft har jeg slaget tusinde Mand.
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;
Og det skete, der han havde fuldendt at tale, da kastede han Kæften af sin Haand; og han kaldte det samme Sted Ramath-Leki.
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.”
Men han tørstede saare, og han kaldte paa Herren og sagde: Du har givet denne store Frelse ved din Tjeners Haand; men nu maa jeg dø af Tørst og falde udi de uomskaarnes Haand.
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.
Da flakte Gud Kindtanden, som var i Kæften, og der udgik Vand af den, og han drak, og hans Aand kom igen, og han blev ved Live; derfor kaldte man dens Navn En-Hakore Asker-Baleki indtil paa denne Dag.
20 And he judges Israel in the days of the Philistines [for] twenty years.
Og han dømte Israel i Filisternes Dage, tyve Aar.
