Judges 14
1 And he went down Samson Timnah towards and he saw a woman in Timnah one of [the] daughters of [the] Philistines.
Pada suatu hari Simson pergi ke Timna, dan melihat seorang gadis Filistin di sana.
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.
Lalu ia pulang dan berkata kepada orang tuanya, "Saya tertarik kepada seorang gadis Filistin di Timna. Saya mohon ayah dan ibu pergi meminang dia."
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.
Tetapi orang tuanya berkata, "Mengapa harus pergi kepada orang Filistin untuk mendapatkan istri, sedangkan mereka tidak tergolong umat TUHAN? Apakah di dalam kaum kita sendiri atau di antara seluruh bangsa kita tidak ada seorang gadis yang cocok?" Jawab Simson kepada ayahnya, "Tapi gadis Filistin itulah yang saya sukai. Dan saya harap ayah mau meminang dia untuk saya."
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.
Orang tua Simson tidak tahu bahwa Tuhanlah yang membuat Simson melakukan hal itu. Sebab, TUHAN sedang mencari kesempatan untuk memerangi orang Filistin. Pada waktu itu orang Filistin menguasai orang Israel.
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.
Maka pergilah Simson ke Timna bersama-sama dengan orang tuanya. Sementara mereka melalui sebidang kebun anggur, Simson bertemu dengan seekor singa muda. Singa itu mengaum,
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.
dan tiba-tiba Simson menjadi kuat oleh kuasa TUHAN. Lalu ia mencabik-cabik singa itu dengan tangannya, seolah-olah binatang itu hanya seekor kambing. Hal itu tidak diceritakannya kepada orang tuanya.
7 And he went down and he spoke to the woman and she was pleasing in [the] eyes of Samson.
Kemudian Simson mengunjungi gadis itu serta bercakap-cakap dengan dia, dan Simson suka kepadanya.
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.
Setelah beberapa waktu lamanya, Simson pergi lagi untuk kawin dengan gadis itu. Di dalam perjalanan, ia membelok untuk melihat bangkai singa yang telah dibunuhnya itu. Ketika sampai di situ ia melihat banyak sekali lebah di dalam bangkai itu, dan ada juga madu.
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.
Ia mengeruk madu itu ke dalam tangannya, lalu berjalan terus sambil makan madu itu. Kemudian ia pergi kepada orang tuanya serta memberikan juga sebagian dari madu itu kepada mereka, dan mereka memakannya. Tetapi Simson tidak memberitahukan bahwa madu itu diambilnya dari bangkai singa.
10 And he went down father his to the woman and he prepared there Samson a feast for thus they did the young men.
Setelah ayah Simson pergi ke rumah gadis itu, Simson mengadakan pesta di sana, karena demikianlah kebiasaan orang-orang muda.
11 And it was when saw they him and they took thirty companions and they were with him.
Ketika orang Filistin melihat dia, mereka memilih tiga puluh pemuda untuk menemani dia.
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.
Lalu Simson berkata kepada mereka, "Saya punya teka-teki. Kalau kalian dapat menebaknya, kalian masing-masing akan saya beri sehelai kain lenan yang halus dan satu setel pakaian yang bagus. Kalian saya beri waktu tujuh hari selama pesta perkawinan ini, untuk menebaknya.
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.
Tetapi kalau kalian tidak dapat menebaknya, kalianlah masing-masing yang harus memberikan kepada saya kain lenan halus dan satu setel pakaian yang bagus." Lalu orang-orang Filistin itu berkata, "Boleh! Sekarang sebutkanlah teka-teki itu."
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.
Maka Simson berkata, "Dari yang makan, keluar yang dimakan; dari yang kuat, keluar yang manis." Setelah lewat tiga hari mereka belum juga dapat menebak teka-teki itu.
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].
Jadi, pada hari keempat berkatalah mereka kepada istri Simson, "Kau harus membujuk suamimu supaya ia mau memberitahukan kepada kami arti teka-teki itu. Kalau tidak, kami akan membakar engkau dengan seisi rumah ayahmu. Rupanya kau mengundang kami untuk menghabiskan harta kami!"
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?
Karena itu, istri Simson pergi kepada Simson sambil menangis, lalu berkata, "Saya tahu kau tidak mencintai saya. Mengapa kau memberikan teka-teki kepada kawan-kawan saya, tetapi kau tidak memberitahukan artinya kepada saya? Tentu kau membenci saya!" Kata Simson, "Tunggu dulu! Kepada orang tua saya sendiri pun saya tidak beritahukan, mengapa kau harus diberitahukan?"
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.
Selama tujuh hari pesta itu istri Simson menangis terus. Dan karena ia terus merengek-rengek, maka pada hari yang ketujuh, Simson memberitahukan arti teka-teki itu kepadanya. Lalu istri Simson itu memberitahukannya kepada orang-orang Filistin.
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.
Jadi, pada hari yang ketujuh sebelum matahari terbenam, orang-orang kota itu berkata kepada Simson, "Apakah yang lebih manis daripada madu? Dan apakah pula yang lebih kuat daripada singa?" Simson menjawab, "Kalau kalian tidak memperalat istriku, kalian tidak akan dapat menebak teka-teki itu!"
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.
Tiba-tiba Simson menjadi kuat oleh kuasa TUHAN, lalu ia pergi ke Askelon. Di sana ia membunuh tiga puluh orang laki-laki yang berpakaian bagus-bagus. Ia mengambil pakaian mereka itu dan memberikannya kepada ketiga puluh orang yang telah menebak teka-tekinya. Setelah itu, ia pulang ke rumahnya dengan hati yang kesal.
20 And she belonged [the] wife of Samson to companion his who he was a special friend to him.
Lalu ayah mertuanya memberikan istri Simson itu kepada orang yang menjadi pengiring Simson pada waktu pernikahannya.
