Sog̒u 14
1 Un Simsons nogāja uz Timnatu un redzēja vienu sievieti Timnatā no Fīlistu meitām.
Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of 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 came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to 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 no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me, for she hath 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 knew not that the thing 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.
Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him raging and roaring.
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.
And the spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell 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 that 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 take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion and 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 be had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell 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.
So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used 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 saw him, they brought 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 riddle, which if you declare unto me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts, and as many coats:
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 shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle 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: 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 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 came, they said to the wife of Samson: Soothe thy husband, and persuade him to tell thee what the riddle meaneth. But if thou wilt not do it, we will burn thee, and thy father’s house. Have you called us to the wedding on purpose to strip 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?
So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother, and how can I tell it to thee?
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.
So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and at length on the seventh day as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told 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 went down said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.
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 the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men, whose garments he took away and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry he went up to his father’s house:
20 Un Simsona sieva tika dota viņa biedram, kas tam bija bijis par biedru.
But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband.
