Judges 15
1 And it came to pass, after a time, in the days of wheat-harvest, that Samson went to visit his wife, with a kid, and he said—I will go in unto my wife, in the chamber. But her father would not suffer 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 said—I, thought, that thou didst, hate, her, so I gave her to thy companion, —Is not, her younger sister, fairer than she? Pray let her be thine, in her stead.
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 said of them, I shall be more blameless, this time, than the Philistines, —though I should do them a mischief.
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 So Samson went, and caught three hundred jackals, —and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put one 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, when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, —and set fire, both to the stack of sheaves and to the standing corn, and besides to the olive plantation.
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 Then said the Philistines—Who hath done this? And they said—Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion. So the Philistines went up and burned 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 said to them, Though ye do the like of this, yet will I be avenged upon you, and, afterwards, will 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 So he smote them, leg on thigh, with a great smiting, —and went down and dwelt in a cleft of the crag 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 Then went up the Philistines, and encamped in Judah, —and were spread abroad in Lehi.
培肋舍特人上去，在猶大紮營，進襲肋希。
10 And the men of Judah said, Wherefore have ye come up against us? And they said—To bind Samson, are we come up, to do unto him as he hath done unto 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 Then went down three thousand men out of Judah, unto the cleft of the crag Etam, and said unto Samson—Knowest thou not that the Philistines are lording it over us? What, then, is this thou hast done to us? And he said unto them, As they have done to me, so, have I done 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 said to him—To bind thee, are we come down, to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye will not fall upon 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 answered him, saying—Nay; but we will, bind, thee, and deliver thee into their hand, but we will not, put thee to death. So they bound him with two new ropes, and took him up from the crag.
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, was coming in as far as Lehi, and, the Philistines, came shouting to meet him, —when the Spirit of Yahweh came suddenly over him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as threads of flax which have been ignited with fire, so that his bonds 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 Then found he the jawbone of an ass newly-slain, —so he thrust forth his hand, and took it, and smote therewith, a thousand men.
他找到一塊鮮驢腮骨，伸手拿起來，擊殺了一千人。
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, —have I piled them up in heaps! With the jawbone of an ass, have I smitten a thousand men!
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 came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, —and called the name of 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 was sore athirst, so he cried unto Yahweh, and said, Thou thyself, hast given, into the hand of thy servant, this great salvation, —and, now, must I die of thirst, and fall 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 So then God clave open the hollow that is in Lehi, and there came therefrom water, and he drank, and his spirit came back, and he revived, —for this cause, called he the name thereof—Ain-hakkore, which is in Lehi, until 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 judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, 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。
