Judges 15
1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow 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 Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
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 Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
Da sagde Samson til dem: Jeg er denne Gang uden Skyld for Filisterne, naar jeg gør ondt imod dem.
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
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 when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
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 Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house 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 Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
Men Samson sagde til dem: Naar I gøre saaledes, da vil jeg ikke holde op, førend jeg faar hævnet mig paa eder.
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived 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 Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
Da droge Filisterne op og lejrede sig imod Juda og adspredte sig i Leki.
10 The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "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 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done 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 They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not 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 They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought 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 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped 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 found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
Og han fandt en frisk Asenkæft, og han udrakte sin Haand og tog den og slog dermed tusinde Mand.
16 Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
Og Samson sagde: Med en Asenkæft har jeg slaget en Hob, ja to Hobe, med en Asenkæft har jeg slaget tusinde Mand.
17 It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called 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 He was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall 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 split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, 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 He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Og han dømte Israel i Filisternes Dage, tyve Aar.
