< Judges 14 >

1 And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
И сниде Сампсон во Фамнафу и виде жену во Фамнафе от дщерей Филистимских, и угодна бысть пред ним.
2 So he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said—A woman, have I seen in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines, —now, therefore, take her for me, to wife.
И взыде и поведа отцу своему и матери своей, и рече: жену видех во Фамнафе от дщерей Филистимских, и ныне поимите ю мне в жену.
3 And his father and his mother said to him—Is there not, among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going away to take a woman from among the uncircumcised Philistines? But Samson said unto his father—Take, her, for me, for, she, is pleasant in mine eyes.
И рече ему отец его и мати его: еда несть дщерей от братии твоея и от всех людий моих жены, яко ты идеши пояти жену от дщерей иноплеменников необрезанных? И рече Сампсон ко отцу своему: сию поими мне, яко та угодна есть пред очима моима.
4 Now, his father and his mother, knew not, that, from Yahweh, it was, that, an occasion, he was seeking of the Philistines, —at that time, the Philistines having dominion over Israel.
Отец же его и мати его не разумеша, яко сие от Господа есть, яко отмщения он ищет от Филистимлян: в то бо время владяху Филистимляне сыны Израилевыми.
5 So Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, —and they came as far as the vineyards of Timnath, when lo! a young lion, roaring to meet him.
И сниде Сампсон и отец его и мати его во Фамнафу, и приидоша до винограда Фамнафа: и се, львичищь рыкающь во сретение ему.
6 And the Spirit of Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he tore it in pieces as if he had torn in pieces a kid, there being, nothing at all, in his hand, —but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
И сниде на него Дух Господень, и растерза его яко козлища от коз, и ничтоже бяше в руку его: и не поведа отцу своему и матери своей, еже сотвори.
7 So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
И поидоша и рекоша жене, и угодна бысть пред очима Сампсона.
8 And he returned, after a time, to take her, and went aside to see the carcass of the lion, —and lo! a swarm of bees, in the body of the lion, and, honey,
И возвратися по днех пояти ю, и обратися видети труп львов, и се, рой пчел во устех львовых и мед:
9 which he took into his hands, and went on—eating as he went, and came unto his father and unto his mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat, —but he told them not that, out of the carcass of the lion, he had taken the honey.
и изя его от уст его в руце свои, и идяше идый и ядый: и пойде ко отцу своему и матери своей, и даде им, и ядоша: и не поведа им, яко от уст львовых изя сей мед.
10 And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
И сниде отец его к жене, и сотвори Сампсон тамо пир седмь дний, яко тако творят юношы:
11 And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained with him.
и бысть внегда боятися им его, приставиша к нему тридесять другов, и быша с ним:
12 And Samson said unto them, I pray you let me put you forth a riddle, —if ye, tell, it me, within the seven days of the banquet, and find it out, then will I give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of raiment;
и рече им Сампсон: предлагаю ныне вам гадание, и аще отгадающе поведите мне сие в седмь дний пира и обрящете, дам вам тридесять поняв и тридесять риз одежд:
13 but, if ye cannot tell me, then shall, ye, give me thirty linen wraps, and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
аще же не возможете сие поведати мне, дадите вы мне тридесять поняв и тридесять риз изменных. И рекоша ему: предложи гадание твое, и услышим е.
14 And he said to them—Out of the eater, came forth food, And, out of the strong, came forth sweetness. But they could not tell the riddle, in three days.
И глагола им: от ядущаго ядомое изыде, и от крепкаго изыде сладкое. И не могоша поведати гадания до трех дний.
15 And it came to pass, on the fourth day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn thee and the house of thy father, with fire. Was it not, to impoverish us, that ye invited us—was it not?
И бысть в день четвертый, и рекоша жене Сампсонове: прельсти мужа своего, и да повесть тебе гадание, да не сожжем тя и дом отца твоего огнем: или оубожити призвасте ны?
16 And the wife of Samson wept upon him, and said—Thou dost, altogether hate me, and dost not love me, a riddle, hast thou put forth to the sons of my people, and, unto me, thou hast not told it! And he said to her, Lo! to my own father and mother, have I not told it, and, to thee, shall I tell it?
И плакася жена Сампсонова пред ним и рече: разве возненавидел еси мене и не возлюбил еси мене, яко гадания, еже еси предложил сыном людий моих, не поведал еси его мне. И рече ей Сампсон: се, отцу моему и матери моей не поведах сего, и тебе ли повем?
17 So she wept upon him the seven days, —while their banquet lasted, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that he told her, because she urged him, and she told the riddle unto the sons of her people.
И плакася пред ним седмь дний, в няже бе им пир. И бысть в день седмый, и поведа ей, яко стужи ему: и та поведа сыном людий своих.
18 And the men of the city said to him, on the seventh day—ere yet the sun went in, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle!
И рекоша ему мужие градстии в день седмый прежде зашествия солнца: что слаждше меда? И что креплее льва? И рече им Сампсон: аще не бысте орали юницею моею, не бысте уведали гадания моего.
19 And the Spirit of Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote of them thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes [of raiment] to them who had told the riddle, —and his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
И нападе на него Дух Господень, и сниде во Аскалон, и изби тамо тридесять мужей, и взя ризы их, и даде ризы поведавшым гадание. И разгневася яростию Сампсон, и взыде в дом отца своего.
20 And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
Жена же Сампсонова иде за инаго мужа, иже бысть един от другов его.
