< Judges 14 >
1 And he went down Samson Timnah towards and he saw a woman in Timnah one of [the] daughters of [the] Philistines.
Et Samson descendit en Thamnatha, ou il vit une femme parmi les filles des Philistins.
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.
Il s'en retourna, et il l'apprit à son père et à sa mère, et il dit: J'ai vu, en Thamnatha, une femme parmi les filles des Philistins; maintenant, prenez-la, et me la donnez pour femme.
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.
Son père et sa mère lui répondirent: N'y a-t-il point de filles de tes frères? n'est-il point une seule femme parmi tout notre peuple, pour que tu ailles prendre femme chez des étrangers incirconcis? Et Samson dit à son père: Prends-la pour moi, parce qu'elle est à mes yeux celle qui me convient.
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.
Son père et sa mère ne savaient pas qu'il agissait par la volonté du Seigneur, et qu'il cherchait un sujet de vengeance contre les Philistins; car, en ce temps-là, les Philistins dominaient sur Israël.
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.
Samson descendit donc avec son père et sa mère en Thamnatha, et il alla seul jusqu'à la vigne de Thamnatha, et voici venir à sa rencontre un jeune lion rugissant.
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.
L'Esprit du Seigneur s'élança sur Samson, qui broya le lionceau comme il eut broyé une jeune chèvre; or, il n'avait rien dans les mains, et il ne raconta ce qu'il avait fait ni à son père ni à sa mère.
7 And he went down and he spoke to the woman and she was pleasing in [the] eyes of Samson.
Ils reprirent leur route, et ils parlèrent à la femme; et, aux yeux de Samson, elle était celle qui lui convenait.
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.
Quelque temps après, il y alla de nouveau, afin de l'épouser, et il se détourna pour voir le cadavre du lion, et voilà qu'il y avait dans sa gueule un essaim d'abeilles et du miel.
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.
Il prit du miel dans ses mains, et il s'en alla en mangeant. Quand il eut rejoint son père et sa mère, il leur en donna, et ils en mangèrent; mais il ne dit point qu'il l'avait pris dans la gueule du lion.
10 And he went down father his to the woman and he prepared there Samson a feast for thus they did the young men.
Son père descendit auprès de la femme; et là, Samson prépara un festin pour sept jours, parce qu'ainsi font les jeunes gens.
11 And it was when saw they him and they took thirty companions and they were with him.
Quand les gens le virent, ils invitèrent trente convives, et ceux-ci se tinrent auprès de lui.
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.
Et Samson leur dit: Je vous propose une énigme; si vous la devinez très-bien, pendant ces sept jours de festin, et si vous l'expliquez, je vous donnerai trente suaires et trente tuniques pour vous vêtir.
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.
Si vous ne pouvez me l'expliquer, vous me donnerez trente vêtements de lin et trente tuniques changeantes. Et ils répondirent: Propose ton énigme, que nous l'entendions.
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.
Et il leur dit: L'aliment a été tiré du mangeur; la douceur de la force. Or, ils passèrent trois jours sans pouvoir expliquer l'énigme.
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].
Le quatrième jour, ils dirent à la femme de Samson: Trompe ton mari, et qu'il t'explique l'énigme; sinon nous te livrerons aux flammes, toi et la maison de ton père. Est-ce que vous nous avez invités pour nous extorquer nos biens?
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?
Alors, la femme de Samson pleura auprès de lui, et elle lui dit: Sans doute tu me hais; tu ne m'aimes point, puisque tu ne m'as pas expliqué l'énigme que tu as proposée aux enfants de mon peuple. Samson répondit: Si je ne l'ai expliqué ni a mon père ni a ma mère, te l'expliquerai-je à toi?
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.
Et elle pleura auprès de lui pendant le reste des sept jours que dura le festin; le septième jour, il lui expliqua l'énigme, parce qu'elle ne cessait de le troubler; et elle l'expliqua aux enfants de son peuple.
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.
Les hommes de la ville lui dirent donc le septième jour, avant le lever du soleil: Qu'y a-t-il de plus doux que le miel? Qu'y a-t-il de plus fort que le lion? Et Samson leur dit: Si vous n'aviez point labouré avec ma génisse, vous ne sauriez point mon énigme.
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.
Aussitôt, l'Esprit du Seigneur s'élança sur lui; il alla en Ascalon, il y tua trente hommes, il prit leurs vêtements, et il donna leurs tuniques changeantes à ceux qui avaient expliqué l'énigme. Et Samson fut courroucé, et il revint à la maison de son père.
20 And she belonged [the] wife of Samson to companion his who he was a special friend to him.
Et la femme de Samson épousa l'un des amis qu'il aimait.
