< 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.
过了些日子,到割麦子的时候,参孙带着一只山羊羔去看他的妻,说:“我要进内室见我的妻。”他岳父不容他进去,
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."
说:“我估定你是极其恨她,因此我将她给了你的陪伴。她的妹子不是比她还美丽吗?你可以娶来代替她吧!”
3 Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
参孙说:“这回我加害于非利士人不算有罪。”
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.
于是参孙去捉了三百只狐狸,将狐狸尾巴一对一对地捆上,将火把捆在两条尾巴中间,
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.
点着火把,就放狐狸进入非利士人站着的禾稼,将堆集的禾捆和未割的禾稼,并橄榄园尽都烧了。
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.
非利士人说:“这事是谁做的呢?”有人说:“是亭拿人的女婿参孙,因为他岳父将他的妻给了他的陪伴。”于是非利士人上去,用火烧了妇人和她的父亲。
7 Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
参孙对非利士人说:“你们既然这样行,我必向你们报仇才肯罢休。”
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.
参孙就大大击杀他们,连腿带腰都砍断了。他便下去,住在以坦磐的穴内。
9 Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
非利士人上去安营在犹大,布散在利希。
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."
犹大人说:“你们为何上来攻击我们呢?”他们说:“我们上来是要捆绑参孙;他向我们怎样行,我们也要向他怎样行。”
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."
于是有三千犹大人下到以坦磐的穴内,对参孙说:“非利士人辖制我们,你不知道吗?你向我们行的是什么事呢?”他回答说:“他们向我怎样行,我也要向他们怎样行。”
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."
犹大人对他说:“我们下来是要捆绑你,将你交在非利士人手中。”参孙说:“你们要向我起誓,应承你们自己不害死我。”
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.
他们说:“我们断不杀你,只要将你捆绑交在非利士人手中。”于是用两条新绳捆绑参孙,将他从以坦磐带上去。
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.
参孙到了利希,非利士人都迎着喧嚷。耶和华的灵大大感动参孙,他臂上的绳就像火烧的麻一样,他的绑绳都从他手上脱落下来。
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
他见一块未干的驴腮骨,就伸手拾起来,用以击杀一千人。
16 Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
参孙说: 我用驴腮骨杀人成堆, 用驴腮骨杀了一千人。
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.
说完这话,就把那腮骨从手里抛出去了。那地便叫拉末·利希。
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?"
参孙甚觉口渴,就求告耶和华说:“你既借仆人的手施行这么大的拯救,岂可任我渴死、落在未受割礼的人手中呢?”
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.
神就使利希的洼处裂开,有水从其中涌出来。参孙喝了,精神复原;因此那泉名叫隐·哈歌利,那泉直到今日还在利希。
20 He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
当非利士人辖制以色列人的时候,参孙作以色列的士师二十年。
