< Judges 15 >

1 During the time that they harvested wheat, Samson took a young goat to Timnah as a present for his wife. He planned to sleep with [EUP] his wife, but her father would not let him go into [her room].
Stalo se pak po několika dnech, v čas žně pšeničné, že chtěje navštíviti Samson ženu svou, a přinésti s sebou kozlíka, řekl: Vejdu k ženě své do pokoje. A nedopustil mu otec její vjíti.
2 He said to Samson, “I really thought that you hated her. So I gave her to the man who had been your best man at the wedding, and she married him. But look, her younger sister is [RHQ] more beautiful than she is. You can marry her!”
I řekl otec její: Domníval jsem se zajisté, že ji máš v nenávisti, protož dal jsem ji tovaryši tvému. Zdaliž není sestra její mladší pěknější než ona? Nechať jest tedy tvá místo oné.
3 Samson replied, “No! And this time I have a right to get revenge on you Philistines!”
I řekl jim Samson: Nebuduť já potom vinen Filistinským, když jim zle učiním.
4 Then he went out [into the fields] and caught 300 foxes. He tied their tails together, two-by-two. He fastened torches to each pair of tails.
Odšed tedy Samson, nalapal tři sta lišek, a vzav pochodně, obrátil jeden ocas k druhému, a dal vše jednu pochodni mezi dva ocasy do prostředka.
5 Then he lit the torches and let the foxes run through the fields of the Philistines. The fire [from the torches] burned all the grain to the ground, including the grain that had been cut and piled in bundles. The fire also burned down their grapevines and their olive trees.
Potom zapálil ty pochodně, a pustil do obilí Filistinských, a popálil, jakž sžaté tak nesžaté, i vinice i olivoví.
6 The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” Someone told them, “Samson did it. He married a woman from Timnah, but then his father-in-law gave her to the man who was Samson’s best man at the wedding, and she married him.” So the Philistines went [to Timnah] and got the woman and her father, and burned them to death.
I řekli Filistinští: Kdo je to učinil? Jimž odpovědíno: Samson zeť Tamnejského, proto že vzal ženu jeho a dal ji tovaryši jeho. Tedy přišedše Filistinští, spálili ji ohněm i otce jejího.
7 Samson [found out about that, and he] said to them, “Because you have done this, I will not stop until I get revenge on you!”
Tedy řekl jim Samson: Ač jste učinili tak, však až se lépe vymstím nad vámi, teprv přestanu.
8 So he attacked the Philistines furiously, and killed many of them. Then he went [to hide] in a cave in the large rock at a place called Etam.
I zbil je na hnátích i na bedrách porážkou velikou, a odšed, usadil se na vrchu skály Etam.
9 The Philistines [did not know where he was, so they] went up to where the descendants of Judah lived, set up their tents near Lehi [town and then raided the town].
Pročež vytáhli Filistinští, a rozbivše stany proti Judovi, rozložili se až do Lechi.
10 The men there asked the Philistines, “Why have you attacked us?” The Philistines replied, “We have come to capture Samson. We have come to get revenge on him for what he did to us.”
Muži pak Juda řekli: Proč jste vytáhli proti nám? I odpověděli: Vytáhli jsme, abychom svázali Samsona, a učinili jemu tak, jako on nám učinil.
11 [Someone there knew where Samson was hiding]. So 3,000 men from Judah went down to get Samson at the cave in the rock where he was hiding. They said to Samson, “Do you not realize that the people of Philistia are ruling over us? Do you not realize what they will do to us?” Samson replied, “The only thing I did was that I got revenge on them for what they did to me.”
Tedy vyšlo tři tisíce mužů Juda k vrchu skály Etam, a řekli Samsonovi: Nevíš-liž, že panují nad námi Filistinští? Pročež jsi tedy nám to učinil? I odpověděl jim: Jakž mi učinili, tak jsem jim učinil.
12 But the men from Judah said to him, “We have come to tie you up and put you in the hands of the Philistines.” Samson said, “All right, but promise me that you yourselves will not kill me!”
Řekli také jemu: Přišli jsme, abychom tě svázali a vydali v ruku Filistinským. Tedy odpověděl jim Samson: Přisáhněte mi, že vy se na mne neoboříte.
13 They replied, “We will just tie you up and take you to the Philistines. We will not kill you.” So they tied him with two new ropes, and led him away from the cave.
Tedy mluvili jemu, řkouce: Nikoli, jediné tuze svížíce, vydáme tě v ruku jejich, ale nezabijeme tě. I svázali ho dvěma provazy novými, a svedli jej s skály.
14 When they arrived at Lehi, the Philistines came toward him, shouting [triumphantly]. But Yahweh’s Spirit came upon Samson powerfully. He snapped the ropes on his arms as easily as if they were stalks of burned flax, and the ropes fell off his wrists.
Kterýž když přišel až do Lechi, Filistinští radostí křičeli proti němu. Přišel pak na něj Duch Hospodinův, a učiněni jsou provazové, kteříž byli na rukou jeho, jako niti lněné, když v ohni hoří, i spadli svazové s rukou jeho.
15 Then he saw a donkey’s jawbone lying on the ground. It was fresh, [so it was hard]. He picked it up and killed about 1,000 Philistine men with it.
Tedy našel čelist osličí ještě vlhkou, a vztáh ruku svou, vzal ji a pobil ní tisíc mužů.
16 Then Samson wrote this poem: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have made them like a heap of [dead] donkeys. With the jawbone of a donkey I killed 1,000 men.”
Protož řekl Samson: Čelistí osličí hromadu jednu, nýbrž dvě hromady, čelistí osličí zbil jsem tisíc mužů.
17 When he finished killing those men, he threw the jawbone away, and later that place was called Jawbone Hill.
A když přestal mluviti, povrhl čelist z ruky své, a nazval to místo Ramat Lechi.
18 Then Samson was very thirsty, so he called out to Yahweh, “You have given me strength to win a great victory. So now must I die because of being thirsty, with the result that those heathen Philistines will take away my body [and mutilate it]?”
Žíznil pak velice, i volal k Hospodinu a řekl: Ty jsi učinil skrze ruce služebníka svého vysvobození toto veliké, nyní pak již žízní umru, aneb upadnu v ruku těch neobřezaných.
19 So God caused water to gush out of a depression in the ground at Lehi. Samson drank from it and soon felt strong again. He named that place ‘The spring of the one who called out’. That spring is still there at Lehi.
Tedy otevřel Bůh skálu v Lechi, i vyšly z ní vody, a napil se; i okřál, a jako ožil. Protož nazval jméno její studnice vzývajícího, kteráž jest v Lechi až do dnešního dne.
20 Samson was the leader of the Israeli people for 20 years, but during that time the Philistines [were the ones who really ruled over the land].
Soudil pak Izraele za času Filistinských dvadceti let.
