士師記 14
1 サムソン、テムナテに下り、ペリシテ人の女にてテムナテに住る一人の婦を見
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 歸り上りておのが父母に語ていひけるは我ペリシテ人の女にてテムナテに住るひとりの婦を見たりされば今之をめとりてわが妻とせよと
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 その父母之にいひけるは汝ゆきて割禮を受けざるペリシテ人のうちより妻を迎んとするは汝が兄弟等の女のうちもしくはわがすべての民のうちに婦女無が故なるかとしかるにサムソン父にむかひ彼婦わがこころに適へば之をわがために娶れと言り
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4 その父母はこの事のヱホバより出しなるを知ざりきサムソンはペリシテ人を攻んと釁をうかがひしなりそは其のころペリシテ人イスラエルを轄め居たればなり
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of YHWH, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 サムソン父母とともにテムナテに下りてテムナテの葡萄園にいたるに稚き獅子咆哮りて彼に向ひしが
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 ヱホバの靈彼にのぞみたれば山羊羔を裂がごとくに之を裂たりしが手には何の武器も持ざりきされどサムソンはその爲せしことを父にも母にも告ずしてありぬ
And the Spirit of YHWH came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 サムソンつひに下りて婦とうちかたらひしが婦その心にかなへり
And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 かくて日を經て後サムソンかれを娶らんとて立かへりしが身を轉して彼の獅子の屍を見るに獅子の體に蜂の群と蜜とありければ
And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
9 すなはちその蜜を手にとりて歩みつつ食ひ父母の許にいたりて之を與へけるに彼ら之を食へりされど獅子の體よりその蜜を取來れることをば彼らにかたらざりき
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10 斯て其の父下りて婦のもとに至りしかばサムソン少年の習例にしたがひてそこに饗宴をまうけたるに
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 サムソンを見て三十人の者をつれ來りて之が伴侶とならしむ
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 サムソンかれらにいひけるは我汝らにひとつの隱語をかけん汝ら七日の筵宴の内に之を解てあきらかに之を我に告なば我汝らに裏衣三十と衣三十襲をあたふべし
And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
13 然どもし之をわれに告得ずば汝ら我に裏衣三十と衣三十襲を與ふべしと彼等之にいひけるは汝の隱語をかけて我らに聽しめよ
But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 サムソン之にいひけるは食ふ者より食物出で強き者より甘き物出でたりと彼ら三日の中に之を解ことあたはざりしかば
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15 第七日にいたりてサムソンの妻にいひけるは汝の夫を説すすめて隱語を我らに明さしめよ然せずば火をもて汝と汝の父の家を焚ん汝らはわれらの物をとらんとてわれらを招けるなるか然るにあらずやと
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
16 是においてサムソンの妻サムソンのまへに泣ていひけるは汝はわれを惡む而巳われを愛せざるなり汝わが民の子孫に隱語をかけて之をわれに説あかさずとサムソン之にいふ我これをわが父や母にも説あかさざればいかで汝に説あかすべけんやと
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
17 婦七日の筵宴のあひだ彼のまへに泣き居りしが第七日に至りてサムソンつひに之を彼に説あかせり其は太く強たればなり婦すなはち隱語をおのが民の子孫に明せり
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 是において第七日に及びて日の沒るまへに邑の人々サムソンにいひけるは何ものか蜜よりあまからん何ものか獅子より強からんとサムソン之にいひけるは汝らわが牝犢をもて耕さざりしならばわが隱語を解得ざるなりと
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 茲にヱホバの靈サムソンに臨みしかばサムソン、アシケロンに下りてかしこの者三十人を殺しその物を奪ひ彼の隱語を解し者等にその衣服を與へはげしく怒りて其父の家にかへり上れり
And the Spirit of YHWH came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 サムソンの妻はサムソンの友となり居たるその伴侶の妻となりぬ
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
