< 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.
И бысть по днех во дни жатвы пшеницы, и посети Сампсон жену свою, несый козлище от коз, и рече: да вниду к жене моей в ложницу. И не даде ему отец ея внити.
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.
И рече отец ея, глаголя: рех, яко ненавидя возненавидел еси ю, и отдах ю единому от другов твоих: не се ли сестра ея меншая добрейши ея есть? Да будет тебе ныне вместо ея.
3 And Samson said of them, I shall be more blameless, this time, than the Philistines, —though I should do them a mischief.
И рече ему Сампсон: чист есмь ныне от Филистимлян, яко сотворю аз с ними зло.
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.
И пойде Сампсон, и ят триста лисиц, и взя свещы, и связа ошиб ко ошибу, и устрои едину свещу между двема ошибома:
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.
и разжже огнь в свещах, и пусти я в нивы Филистимски: и запали нивы от гумен и даже до класов простых и до винограда и масличия.
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.
И рекоша иноплеменницы: кто сотвори сия? И рекоша: Сампсон зять Фамнафеев, яко взя жену его и даде ю единому от другов его. И взыдоша иноплеменницы и сожгоша ю и дом отца ея огнем.
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.
И рече им Сампсон: аще и сотвористе вы тако ей, аз не благоизволю, но отмщение мое единому комуждо вас сотворю, и посем почию.
8 So he smote them, leg on thigh, with a great smiting, —and went down and dwelt in a cleft of the crag Etam.
И порази их голени до бедр язвою велиею: и сниде, и вселися у водотечи в пещере камене Итама.
9 Then went up the Philistines, and encamped in Judah, —and were spread abroad in Lehi.
И изыдоша Филистимляне, и ополчишася во Иуде, и разсеяшася в Лехи.
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.
И рече им всяк муж Иудин: почто приидосте на ны? И рекоша иноплеменницы: связати Сампсона приидохом и сотворити ему, якоже сотвори нам.
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.
И снидоша три тысящы мужей от Иуды к пещере камене Итама и рекоша к Сампсону: не веси ли, яко владеют нами Филистимляне? И вскую сия сотворил еси нам? И рече им Сампсон: якоже ми сотвориша, тако сотворих им.
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.
И рекоша ему: связати тебе приидохом и предати тя в руце иноплеменником. И рече им Сампсон: кленитеся мне, да не убиете мене вы.
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.
И рекоша ему, глаголюще: ни, но токмо соузом свяжем тя и предадим тя в руки их, смертию же не умертвим тебе. И связаша его двема ужы новыми и изведоша его от камене того.
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.
И той прииде до Челюсти: иноплеменницы же воскликнуша и текоша противу ему. И сниде на него Дух Господень, и быша ужя на мышцах его яко изгребие, егда зажжется огнем: и разрешишася узы его от руку его:
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.
и обрете челюсть ослю повержену, и простре руку свою, и взя ю: и изби ею тысящу мужей.
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!
И рече Сампсон: челюстию ослею потребляя потребих их, яко челюстию ослею избих тысящу мужей.
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.
И бысть егда преста глаголя, и поверже челюсть от руки своея: и нарече место тое Избиение Челюстное.
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?
И возжажда зело, и возопи ко Господу, и рече: Ты благоволил еси в руце раба Твоего спасение великое сие, и ныне умираю жаждею, и впаду в руки необрезанных.
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.
И разверзе Бог язву на Челюсти, и изыде из нея вода, и пи: и возвратися дух его, и оживе: сего ради прозвася имя ей Источник призывающаго, иже есть в Челюсти, даже до дне сего.
20 And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years.
И суди Израилю во дни Филистимлян двадесять лет.
