Sog̒u 14
1 Un Simsons nogāja uz Timnatu un redzēja vienu sievieti Timnatā no Fīlistu meitām.
Then Samson descended to Timnah. And seeing there a woman from the daughters of the Philistines,
2 Un viņš aizgāja un to stāstīja savam tēvam un savai mātei un sacīja: Timnatā es esmu redzējis sievieti no Fīlistu meitām, - un nu ņemiet man to par sievu.
he went up, and he told his father and his mother, saying: “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. I ask that you take her to me as wife.”
3 Tad viņa tēvs un viņa māte uz viņu sacīja: vai nav starp tavu brāļu meitām kāda sieva un starp visiem maniem ļaudīm, ka tu noej sievu ņemt no Fīlistiem, tiem neapgraizītiem? Un Simsons sacīja uz savu tēvu: ņem man viņu, jo tā manām acīm patīk.
And his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, so that you would be willing to take a wife from the Philistines, who are uncircumcised?” And Samson said to his father: “Take this woman to me. For she has pleased my eyes.”
4 Bet viņa tēvs un viņa māte nezināja, ka tas bija no Tā Kunga, ka viņš iemeslus meklētu pie Fīlistiem; bet Fīlisti valdīja tanī laikā pār Israēli.
Now his parents did not know that the matter was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time, the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Tad Simsons ar savu tēvu un ar savu māti nogāja uz Timnatu. Kad tie nu pie Timnatas vīna kalniem nāca, redzi, tad jauns lauva viņam rūca pretī.
And so, Samson descended with his father and mother to Timnah. And when they had arrived at the vineyards of the town, he saw a young lion, savage and roaring, and it met him.
6 Un Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār viņu, un viņš to saplēsa, tā kā kazlēnu saplēš, un viņa rokā nebija nekā; bet viņš ne savam tēvam, ne savai mātei nesacīja, ko viņš bija darījis.
Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon Samson, and he tore apart the lion, like a young goat being torn into pieces, having nothing at all in his hand. And he was not willing to reveal this to his father and mother.
7 Un viņš nonāca un runāja ar to sievu, un tā patika Simsona acīm.
And he went down and spoke to the woman who had pleased his eyes.
8 Un kad viņš pēc kādām dienām griezās atpakaļ, viņu ņemt, tad viņš no ceļa nogāja, raudzīt tā lauvas maitu, un redzi lauvas maitā bija bišu pulks ar medu.
And after some days, returning to marry her, he turned aside so that he might see the carcass of the lion. And behold, there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, with a honeycomb.
9 Un viņš to ņēma savās rokās un gāja projām un ēda un gāja pie sava tēva un pie savas mātes un tiem deva, un tie ēda, bet viņš tiem nesacīja, ka viņš to medu bija ņēmis no lauvas maitas.
And when he had taken it in his hands, he ate it along the way. And arriving to his father and mother, he gave them a portion, and they also ate it. Yet he was not willing to reveal to them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
10 Kad nu viņa tēvs pie tās sievas bija nonācis, tad Simsons tur turēja kāzas, jo tā tie jaunekļi mēdza darīt.
And so his father went down to the woman, and he made a feast for his son Samson. For so the young men were accustomed to do.
11 Un kad tie viņu redzēja, tad tie ņēma trīsdesmit biedrus, un tie bija pie viņa.
And when the citizens of that place had seen him, they presented to him thirty companions to be with him.
12 Un Simsons uz tiem sacīja: es jums došu mīklu minēt; kad jūs to man šinīs septiņās kāzu dienās sacīsiet un uzminēsiet, tad es jums došu trīsdesmit kreklus no smalka audekla un trīsdesmit svētku drēbes.
And Samson said to them: “I will propose to you a problem, which, if you can solve it for me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.
13 Un ja jūs man to nevarēsiet uzminēt, tad jums man būs dot trīsdesmit kreklus no smalka audekla un trīsdesmit svētku drēbes. Un tie uz viņu sacīja: pasaki savu mīklu, lai mēs to dzirdam.
But if you are not able to solve it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of tunics.” And they answered him, “Propose the problem, so that we may hear it.”
14 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: barība izgāja no rijēja un saldums izgāja no stiprā. Un tanīs trijās dienās tie to mīklu nevarēja uzminēt.
And he said to them, “Food went forth from that which eats, and sweetness went forth from that which is strong.” And they were unable to solve the proposition for three days.
15 Un septītā dienā tie sacīja uz Simsona sievu: pārrunā savu vīru, lai viņš mums to mīklu saka, ka mēs tevi un tava tēva namu nesadedzinām ar uguni; vai jūs mūs esat aicinājuši, mūsu mantu mums atņemt, vai ne?
And when the seventh day had arrived, they said to the wife of Samson: “Coax your husband, and persuade him to reveal to you what the proposition means. But if you are not willing to do so, we will burn you and your father’s house. Or have you called us to the wedding in order to despoil us?”
16 Un Simsona sieva raudāja pie viņa un sacīja: tu mani tikai ienīsti, un mani nemīli; tu manu ļaužu bērniem esi devis mīklu un man to nesaki. Un viņš uz to sacīja: redzi, es ne savam tēvam, ne savai mātei to neesmu sacījis, un tev lai es to saku?
And she shed tears before Samson, and she complained, saying: “You hate me, and you do not love me. That is why you do not want to explain to me the problem, which you have proposed to the sons of my people.” But he responded: “I was not willing to reveal it to my father and mother. And so, how can I reveal it to you?”
17 Bet tā raudāja pie viņa septiņas dienas, kamēr tās kāzas bija, bet septītā dienā tas viņai to sacīja, jo viņa to spieda. Un viņa sacīja to mīklu savu ļaužu bērniem.
Therefore, she wept before him during the seven days of the feast. And at length, on the seventh day, since she had been troubling him, he explained it. And immediately she revealed it to her countrymen.
18 Tad tās pilsētas vīri uz viņu sacīja septītā dienā, pirms saule nogāja: kas ir saldāks nekā medus? Kas ir stiprāks nekā lauva? Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: ja jūs ar manu teļu nebūtu aruši, tad jūs manu mīklu nebūtu uzminējuši.
And they, on the seventh day, before the sun declined, said to him: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have uncovered my proposition.”
19 Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār viņu un viņš nogāja uz Askalonu un nokāva no tiem trīsdesmit vīrus, un ņēma viņu novilktās drēbes un deva svētku drēbes tiem, kas to mīklu bija uzminējuši. Bet viņa dusmas iedegās un viņš aizgāja sava tēva namā.
And so the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he descended to Ashkelon, and in that place he struck down thirty men. And taking away their garments, he gave them to those who had solved the problem. And being exceedingly angry, he went up to his father’s house.
20 Un Simsona sieva tika dota viņa biedram, kas tam bija bijis par biedru.
Then his wife took as a husband one of his friends and wedding companions.
