< Judges 14 >

1 And he went down Samson Timnah towards and he saw a woman in Timnah one of [the] daughters of [the] Philistines.
وَذَهَبَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ حَيْثُ رَاقَتْهُ فَتَاةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ١
2 And he went up and he told to father his and to mother his and he said a woman I have seen in Timnah one of [the] daughters of [the] Philistines and now get her for me to a wife.
فَرَجَعَ إِلَى وَالِدَيْهِ وَأَخْبَرَهُمَا قَائِلاً: «رَاقَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ فِي تِمْنَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَزَوِّجَانِي مِنْهَا».٢
3 And he said to him father his and mother his ¿ [is] there not among [the] daughters of brothers your and among all people my a woman that you [are] going to take a wife from [the] Philistines uncircumcised and he said Samson to father his her get for me for she she is pleasing in view my.
فَقَالَ لَهُ وَالِدَاهُ: «أَلَمْ تَجِدْ بَيْنَ بَنَاتِ أَقْرِبَائِكَ وَفِي قَوْمِنَا فَتَاةً، حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ وَتَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْغُلْفِ؟» فَأَجَابَ شَمْشُونُ أَبَاهُ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْفَتَاةُ الَّتِي رَاقَتْنِي فَزَوِّجْنِي إِيَّاهَا».٣
4 And father his and mother his not they knew that [was] from Yahweh it for an occasion he [was] seeking from [the] Philistines and at the time that [the] Philistines [were] ruling over Israel.
وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ وَالِدَاهُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الأَمْرَ كَانَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْتَمِسُ عِلَّةً ضِدَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا آنَئِذٍ مُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤
5 And he went down Samson and father his and mother his Timnah towards and they came to [the] vineyards of Timnah and there! a young lion of lions [was] roaring to meet him.
فَانْحَدَرَ شَمْشُونُ وَوَالِدَاهُ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا كُرُومَهَا، وَإذَا بِشِبْلِ أَسَدٍ يَتَحَفَّزُ مُزَمْجِراً لِلانْقِضَاضِ عَلَيْهِ،٥
6 And it rushed on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he tore apart it as tears apart kid and [was] anything there not in hand his and not he told to father his and to mother his [that] which he had done.
فَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فَقَبَضَ عَلَى الأَسَدِ وَشَقَّهُ إِلَى نِصْفَيْنِ وَكَأَنَّهُ جَدْيٌ صَغِيرٌ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُ سِلاحٌ. وَلَمْ يُنْبِئْ وَالِدَيْهِ بِمَا فَعَلَ.٦
7 And he went down and he spoke to the woman and she was pleasing in [the] eyes of Samson.
ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى الْفَتَاةِ وَخَاطَبَهَا فَازْدَادَ بِها إِعْجَاباً.٧
8 And he returned from days to take her and he turned aside to see [the] carcass of the lion and there! a swarm of bees [was] in [the] carcass of the lion and honey.
وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ شَمْشُونُ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ لِيَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْهَا مَالَ لِيُلْقِيَ نَظْرَةً عَلَى جُثَّةِ الأَسَدِ، فَوَجَدَ فِي جَوْفِهَا سَرْباً مِنَ النَّحْلِ وَبَعْضَ الْعَسَلِ،٨
9 And he scraped out it into palms his and he went continuously and eating and he came to father his and to mother his and he gave to them and they ate and not he told to them that from [the] carcass of the lion he had scraped out the honey.
فَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهُ قَدْراً عَلَى كَفِّهِ وَمَضَى وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ فَأَعْطَاهُمَا فَأَكَلا، وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمَا أَنَّهُ اشْتَارَ الْعَسَلَ مِنْ جَوْفِ الأَسْدِ.٩
10 And he went down father his to the woman and he prepared there Samson a feast for thus they did the young men.
وَذَهَبَ وَالِدُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْعَرُوسِ، فَأَقَامَ شَمْشُونُ هُنَاكَ وَلِيمَةً كَمَا تَقْتَضِي أَعْرَافُ الزَّوَاجِ.١٠
11 And it was when saw they him and they took thirty companions and they were with him.
وَدَعَا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ ثَلاثِينَ شَابّاً لِيُنَادِمُوهُ (فِي فَتْرَةِ الاحْتِفَالِ بِزَوَاجِهِ).١١
12 And he said to them Samson let me ask a riddle please to you a riddle certainly [if] you will tell it to me [the] seven [the] days of the feast and you will find [it] out and I will give to you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of garments.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «سَأُلْقِي عَلَيْكُمْ أُحْجِيَّةً، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ حَلَّهَا الصَّحِيحَ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ الْوَلِيمَةِ أُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلاثِينَ قَمِيصاً وَثَلاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ.١٢
13 And if not you will be able to tell to me and you will give you to me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of garments and they said to him ask [the] riddle! riddle your so we may hear it.
أَمَّا إِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ عَنْهَا فَسَتُعْطُونِي أَنْتُمْ ثَلاثِينَ قَمِيصاً وَثَلاثِينَ حُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «هَاتِ أُحْجِيَّتَكَ فَنَسْمَعَهَا».١٣
14 And he said to them from the eater it came out food and from a strong [one] it came out a sweet [thing] and not they were able to tell the riddle three days.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مِنَ الآكِلِ خَرَجَ أُكْلٌ، وَمِنَ الْقَوِيِّ خَرَجَتْ حَلاوَةٌ». وَانْقَضَتْ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَجِدُوا لَهَا حَلاً.١٤
15 And it was - on the day seventh and they said to [the] wife of Samson entice husband your so may he tell to us the riddle lest we should burn you and [the] house of father your with fire ¿ to impoverish us did you invite us ¿ [is it] not [so].
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ قَالُوا لِزَوْجَةِ شَمْشُونَ: «تَمَلَّقِي زَوْجَكِ لِيَكْشِفَ لَنَا عَنْ حَلِّ الأُحْجِيَّةِ، لِئَلّا نُضْرِمَ النَّارَ فِيكِ وَفِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ. أَدَعَوْتُمُونَا إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ لِتَسْلِبُونَا؟»١٥
16 And she wept [the] wife of Samson over him and she said only you hate me and not you love me the riddle you have asked [the] riddle to [the] sons of people my and to me not you have told and he said to her here! to father my and to mother my not I have told and to [why] you will I tell?
فَبَكَتِ امْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ لَدَيْهِ قَائِلَةً: «أَنْتَ تَمْقُتُنِي وَلا تُحِبُّنِي حَقّاً. فَقَدْ طَرَحْتَ عَلَى بَنِي قَوْمِي أُحْجِيَّةً وَلَمْ تُطْلِعْنِي عَلَى حَلِّهَا». فَقَالَ لَهَا: «هُوَذَا أَبِي وَأُمِّي لَمْ أُطْلِعْهُمَا عَلَى حَلِّهَا، فَلِمَاذَا أُخْبِرُكِ أَنْتِ بِهِ؟»١٦
17 And she wept over him [the] seven the days which it belonged to them the feast and it was - on the day seventh and he told to her for she pressed him and she told the riddle to [the] sons of people her.
فَظَلَّتْ تَبْكِي لَدَيْهِ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ الْوَلِيمَةِ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ أَطْلَعَهَا عَلَى الْحَلِّ لِفَرْطِ مَا ضَايَقَتْهُ، فَأَسَرَّتْ بِهِ لِبَنِي قَوْمِهَا.١٧
18 And they said to him [the] men of the city on the day seventh before it went the sun what? [is] sweet more than honey and what? [is] strong more than a lion and he said to them if not you had plowed with heifer my not you found out riddle my.
وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِ شَمْسِ الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ قَالَ لَهُ رِجَالُ الْمَدِينَةِ: «أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، وَمَا هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنَ الأَسَدِ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ: «لَوْلا أَنَّكُمْ حَرَثْتُمْ عَلَى عِجْلَتِي لَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ حَلَّ أُحْجِيِّتِي».١٨
19 And it rushed on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he went down Ashkelon and he struck down of them - thirty man and he took spoils their and he gave the changes to [those who] told the riddle and it burned anger his and he went up [the] house of father his.
وَحَلَّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ فَانْحَدَرَ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ أَشْقَلُونَ وَقَتَلَ ثَلاثِينَ رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ، وَأَخَذَ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَعْطَاهَا لِلرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ حَلُّوا لُغْزَهُ. وَلَكِنْ، إِذِ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ مَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِ وَالِدَيْهِ.١٩
20 And she belonged [the] wife of Samson to companion his who he was a special friend to him.
وَمَا لَبِثَتِ امْرَأَةُ شَمْشُونَ أَنْ أَصْبَحَتْ زَوْجَةً لِصَاحِبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ نَدِيماً لَهُ.٢٠
