Judges 15
1 After some days, during the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said to himself, “I will go to my wife's room.” But her father would not allow him to go in.
過了一些日子，正是收割麥子的時期，三松帶了一隻小山羊去看他的妻子；他說：「我要到內室去親近我的妻子。」但是妻子的父親不讓他進去，
2 Her father said, “I really thought you hated her, so I gave her to your friend. Her younger sister is more beautiful than she is, is she not? Take her instead.”
且說：「我以為你一定厭惡了她，所以我將她嫁給你的一個同伴；她的妹妹不是比她更美麗嗎﹖你可娶而代之。」
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be innocent in regard to the Philistines when I hurt them.”
三松對他們說：「我若加害培肋舍特人，這一次我可不負責任。」
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes and he tied together each pair, tail to tail. Then he took torches and tied them in the middle of each pair of tails.
於是三松去捉了三百隻狐狸，又拿火把來，把狐狸的尾和尾結在一起，將火把插在兩尾中間，
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and they set fire to both the stacked grain and the grain standing in the field, along with the vineyards and the olive orchards.
點著火把，將狐狸放入培肋舍特人的莊田內，把堆集的麥捆，立著的莊稼，葡萄園和橄欖園都燒了。
6 The Philistines asked, “Who did this?” They were told, “Samson, the Timnite's son-in-law, did this because the Timnite took Samson's wife and gave her to his friend.” Then the Philistines went and burned up her and her father.
培肋舍特人問說：「是誰作了這事﹖」有人說：「是提默納人的女婿三松，因為他的岳父把他的妻子嫁給了他的一個同伴。」培肋舍特人就上去，放火燒了那女子和她的父家。
7 Samson said to them, “If this is what you do, I will get my revenge against you, and after that is done, I will stop.”
三松向他們說：「你們既然這樣作，我必向你們報復，然後纔罷休。」
8 Then he cut them to pieces, hip and thigh, with a great slaughter. Then he went down and lived in a cave in the cliff of Etam.
三松遂打擊他們，腿腰亂砍，大殺一陣；然後下去住在厄坦的一個石穴內。以驢骨擊殺千人
9 Then the Philistines came up and they prepared for battle in Judah and set up their army in Lehi.
培肋舍特人上去，在猶大紮營，進襲肋希。
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up to attack us?” They said, “We are attacking so we may capture Samson, and do to him as he has done to us.”
猶大問說：「你們為什麼上來攻打我們﹖」他們答說：「我們上來是為拘捕三松，要報復他對我們所行的。」
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam, and they said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this you have done to us?” Samson said to them, “They did to me, and so I have done to them.”
於是有三千猶大人到厄坦石穴那裏，對三松說：「難道你不知道培肋舍特人統治我們嗎﹖你為什麼作連累我們的事﹖」他回答說：「他們怎樣待我，我也怎樣待他們。」
12 They said to Samson, “We have come down to tie you up and give you into the hands of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
他們就向他說：「我們下來是為拘捕你，把你交在培肋舍特人手中。」三松向他們說：「你們要對我發誓，不殺害我! 」
13 They said to him, “No, we will only tie you with ropes and hand you over to them. We promise we will not kill you.” Then they tied him up with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
他們回答說：「一定不；我們只把你綁好，交在他們手中，決不殺你。」他們於是兩條新繩把他捆起，從石穴裏把他拉上來。
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting as they met him. Then Yahweh's Spirit came on him with power. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and they fell off his hands.
他來到肋希，培肋舍特人吶喊著出來迎他；那時上主的神突然降在他身上，他手臂上的繩索，好像著火的細麻一樣，綁他的繩子從他的手上落下。
15 Samson found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and he picked it up and killed a thousand men with it.
他找到一塊鮮驢腮骨，伸手拿起來，擊殺了一千人。
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men.”
然後三松喊說：「用驢腮骨殺的一堆一堆，用驢腮骨殺了一千。」
17 When Samson finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone, and he called the place Ramath Lehi.
當他說完這話，就順手把腮骨拋棄了；因此那地名叫辣瑪肋希。
18 Samson was very thirsty and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great victory to your servant. But now will I die of thirst and fall into the hands of those who are uncircumcised?”
此後，他非常口渴，呼籲上主說：「你藉你僕人的手得了這次大勝利；如今我卻要渴死，陷於這些沒有割損的人手中。」
19 God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi and water came out. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. So he called the name of that place En Hakkore, and it is at Lehi to this day.
上主遂在肋希使一窪地裂開，湧出水來；他喝了水，精神恢復，無異再生；因此那泉稱作「呼籲泉，」至今還在肋希。
20 Samson judged Israel in the days of the Philistines for twenty years.
他在培肋舍特人統治以色列的時日內，作以色列民長二十年。
