Judges 14
1 Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
И сниде Сампсон во Фамнафу и виде жену во Фамнафе от дщерей Филистимских, и угодна бысть пред ним.
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as my wife.”
И взыде и поведа отцу своему и матери своей, и рече: жену видех во Фамнафе от дщерей Филистимских, и ныне поимите ю мне в жену.
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, “Isn’t there a woman amongst your brothers’ daughters, or amongst all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
И рече ему отец его и мати его: еда несть дщерей от братии твоея и от всех людий моих жены, яко ты идеши пояти жену от дщерей иноплеменников необрезанных? И рече Сампсон ко отцу своему: сию поими мне, яко та угодна есть пред очима моима.
4 But his father and his mother didn’t know that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.
Отец же его и мати его не разумеша, яко сие от Господа есть, яко отмщения он ищет от Филистимлян: в то бо время владяху Филистимляне сыны Израилевыми.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.
И сниде Сампсон и отец его и мати его во Фамнафу, и приидоша до винограда Фамнафа: и се, львичищь рыкающь во сретение ему.
6 The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he didn’t tell his father or his mother what he had done.
И сниде на него Дух Господень, и растерза его яко козлища от коз, и ничтоже бяше в руку его: и не поведа отцу своему и матери своей, еже сотвори.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
И поидоша и рекоша жене, и угодна бысть пред очима Сампсона.
8 After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
И возвратися по днех пояти ю, и обратися видети труп львов, и се, рой пчел во устех львовых и мед:
9 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. He came to his father and mother and gave to them, and they ate, but he didn’t tell them that he had taken the honey out of the lion’s body.
и изя его от уст его в руце свои, и идяше идый и ядый: и пойде ко отцу своему и матери своей, и даде им, и ядоша: и не поведа им, яко от уст львовых изя сей мед.
10 His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
И сниде отец его к жене, и сотвори Сампсон тамо пир седмь дний, яко тако творят юношы:
11 When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
и бысть внегда боятися им его, приставиша к нему тридесять другов, и быша с ним:
12 Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
и рече им Сампсон: предлагаю ныне вам гадание, и аще отгадающе поведите мне сие в седмь дний пира и обрящете, дам вам тридесять поняв и тридесять риз одежд:
13 but if you can’t tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.”
аще же не возможете сие поведати мне, дадите вы мне тридесять поняв и тридесять риз изменных. И рекоша ему: предложи гадание твое, и услышим е.
14 He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.
И глагола им: от ядущаго ядомое изыде, и от крепкаго изыде сладкое. И не могоша поведати гадания до трех дний.
15 On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”
И бысть в день четвертый, и рекоша жене Сампсонове: прельсти мужа своего, и да повесть тебе гадание, да не сожжем тя и дом отца твоего огнем: или оубожити призвасте ны?
16 Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”
И плакася жена Сампсонова пред ним и рече: разве возненавидел еси мене и не возлюбил еси мене, яко гадания, еже еси предложил сыном людий моих, не поведал еси его мне. И рече ей Сампсон: се, отцу моему и матери моей не поведах сего, и тебе ли повем?
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
И плакася пред ним седмь дний, в няже бе им пир. И бысть в день седмый, и поведа ей, яко стужи ему: и та поведа сыном людий своих.
18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t ploughed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”
И рекоша ему мужие градстии в день седмый прежде зашествия солнца: что слаждше меда? И что креплее льва? И рече им Сампсон: аще не бысте орали юницею моею, не бысте уведали гадания моего.
19 The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burnt, and he went up to his father’s house.
И нападе на него Дух Господень, и сниде во Аскалон, и изби тамо тридесять мужей, и взя ризы их, и даде ризы поведавшым гадание. И разгневася яростию Сампсон, и взыде в дом отца своего.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
Жена же Сампсонова иде за инаго мужа, иже бысть един от другов его.
