Judges 14
1 One day when Samson was in Timnah [town], he saw a young Philistine woman there.
삼손이 딤나에 내려가서 거기서 블레셋 딸 중 한 여자를 보고
2 When he returned home, he told his mother and father, “I saw a young Philistine woman in Timnah, and I want you to get her for me so I can marry her.”
도로 올라와서 자기 부모에게 말하여 가로되 내가 딤나에서 블레셋 사람의 딸 중 한 여자를 보았사오니 이제 그를 취하여 내 아내를 삼게 하소서
3 His mother and father objected very strongly. They said, “Is there no woman from our tribe, or from the other Israeli tribes, that you could marry? Why must you go to the heathen Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me! She is the one I want!”
부모가 그에게 이르되 네 형제들의 딸 중에나 내 백성 중에 어찌 여자가 없어서 네가 할례받지 아니한 블레셋 사람에게 가서 아내를 취하려 하느냐 삼손이 아비에게 이르되 내가 그 여자를 좋아하오니 나를 위하여 그를 데려오소서 하니
4 His mother and father did not realize that Yahweh was arranging this. He was preparing a way for [Samson to defeat] the Philistines, who were ruling over Israel at that time.
이 때에 블레셋 사람이 이스라엘을 관할한고로 삼손이 틈을 타서 블레셋 사람을 치려 함이었으나 그 부모는 이 일이 여호와께로서 나온 것인 줄은 알지 못하였더라
5 So, as Samson was going down to Timnah, followed by his mother and father, a young lion attacked Samson near the vineyards close to Timnah.
삼손이 그 부모와 함께 딤나에 내려가서 딤나의 포도원에 이른즉 어린 사자가 그를 맞아 소리 지르는지라
6 Then Yahweh’s Spirit came upon Samson powerfully, with the result that he tore the lion apart with his hands. He did it [as easily] as if it were a young goat. But he did not tell his mother and father about it.
삼손이 여호와의 신에게 크게 감동되어 손에 아무 것도 없어도 그 사자를 염소 새끼를 찢음 같이 찢었으나 그는 그 행한 일을 부모에게도 고하지 아니하였고
7 When they arrived in Timnah, Samson talked with the young woman, and he liked her very much. [And his father made arrangements for the wedding].
그가 내려가서 그 여자와 말하며 그를 기뻐하였더라
8 Later, when Samson returned to Timnah for the wedding, he turned off the path to see the carcass of the lion. He discovered that [after other creatures had eaten all the flesh], a swarm of bees [had made a hive in the skeleton and] had made some honey.
얼마 후에 삼손이 그 여자를 취하려고 다시 가더니 돌이켜 그 사자의 주검을 본즉 사자의 몸에 벌떼와 꿀이 있는지라
9 So he scooped some of the honey into his hands and ate some of it as he was walking along. He also gave some of it to his mother and father, but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the skeleton of the lion, [because anyone dedicated to God was not to touch any corpse].
손으로 그 꿀을 취하여 행하며 먹고 그 부모에게 이르러 그들에게 그것을 드려서 먹게 하였으나 그 꿀을 사자의 몸에서 취하였다고는 고하지 아니하였더라
10 As his father was making the final arrangements for the marriage, Samson gave a party [for the young men in that area]. That was the custom for men to do when they were about to be married.
삼손의 아비가 여자에게로 내려가매 삼손이 거기서 잔치를 배설하였으니 소년은 이렇게 행하는 풍속이 있음이더라
11 Thirty young man were invited to the party.
무리가 삼손을 보고 삼십 명을 데려다가 동무를 삼아 그와 함께 하게 한지라
12 Samson said to them, “Allow me to tell you a riddle. If you tel me the meaning of my riddle during these seven days of the celebration, I will give each of you a linen robe and an extra set of clothes.
삼손이 그들에게 이르되 이제 내가 너희에게 수수께끼를 하리니 잔치하는 칠 일 동안에 너희가 능히 그것을 풀어서 내게 고하면 내가 베옷 삼십 벌과 겉옷 삼십 벌을 너희에게 주리라
13 But if you cannot tell me the meaning, you must each give me a linen robe and an extra set of clothes.” They replied, “All right. Tell us your riddle.”
그러나 그것을 능히 내게 고하지 못하면 너희가 내게 베옷 삼십 벌과 겉옷 삼십 벌을 줄지니라 그들이 이르되 너는 수수께끼를 하여 우리로 듣게 하라
14 So he said, “From the thing that eats came something to eat; out of something strong came something sweet.” But for three days they could not tell him the meaning of the riddle.
삼손이 그들에게 이르되 먹는 자에게서 먹는 것이 나오고 강한 자에게서 단 것이 나왔느니라 그들이 삼 일이 되도록 수수께끼를 풀지 못하였더라
15 On the fourth day, they said to Samson’s bride, “Ask your husband to tell you the meaning of the riddle. If you do not do that, we will burn down your father’s house, with you inside it! Did you invite us here only to make us poor [by forcing us to buy a lot of clothes for your husband]?”
제칠일에 이르러 그들이 삼손의 아내에게 이르되 너는 네 남편을 꾀어 그 수수께끼를 우리에게 알리게 하라 그렇지 아니하면 너와 네 아비의 집을 불사르리라 너희가 우리의 소유를 취하고자하여 우리를 청하였느냐 그렇지 아니하냐
16 So Samson’s wife came to him, crying, and said to him, “You do not really love me. You hate me! You have told a riddle to my friends, but you have not told me the meaning of the riddle!” He replied, “I have not told the meaning of the riddle even to my mother and father, so why should I tell it to you?”
삼손의 아내가 그의 앞에서 울며 가로되 당신이 나를 미워할 뿐이요 사랑치 아니하는도다 우리 민족에게 수수께끼를 말하고 그 뜻을 내게 풀어 이르지 아니하도다 삼손이 그에게 대답하되 보라 내가 그것을 나의 부모에게도 풀어 고하지 아니하였거든 어찌 그대에게 풀어 이르리요 하였으나
17 She continued to cry every time she was with him, all during the rest of the celebration. Finally, on the seventh day, because she continued to nag him, he told her the meaning of the riddle. Then she told it to the young men.
칠 일 잔치할 동안에 그 아내가 앞에서 울며 강박함을 인하여 제칠일에는 그가 그 아내에게 수수께끼를 풀어 이르매 그 아내가 그것을 그 민족에게 고하였더라
18 So, before sunset on the seventh day, the young men came to Samson and said to him, “What/Nothing is sweeter than honey [RHQ]. What/Nothing is stronger than a lion [RHQ]!” Samson replied, “[You should not force a heifer to] plow a field [MET]. Similarly, if you had not forced my bride to ask me about the riddle [MET], you would not have known the answer to my riddle!”
제칠일 해 지기 전에 성읍 사람들이 삼손에게 이르되 무엇이 꿀보다 달겠으며 무엇이 사자보다 강하겠느냐 한지라 삼손이 그들에게 대답하되 너희가 내 암송아지로 밭갈지 아니하였더면 나의 수수께끼를 능히 풀지 못하였으리라 하니라
19 Then Yahweh’s Spirit powerfully took control of Samson. He went down to [the coast at] Ashkelon [town], and killed 30 men. He took their clothes [and went back to Timnah] and gave them to the men who had told him the meaning of the riddle. But he was very angry about what had happened, so he went back home to live with his mother and father.
여호와의 신이 삼손에게 크게 임하시매 삼손이 아스글론에 내려가서 그곳 사람 삼십 명을 쳐 죽이고 노략하여 수수께끼 푼 자들에게 옷을 주고 심히 노하여 아비 집으로 올라갔고
20 So (Samson’s wife was given/the bride’s father gave Samson’s wife) to the man who who had been Samson’s best man at the wedding, [but Samson did not know that].
삼손의 아내는 삼손의 친구 되었던 그 동무에게 준바 되었더라
