Sog̒u 14
1 Un Simsons nogāja uz Timnatu un redzēja vienu sievieti Timnatā no Fīlistu meitām.
One day Samson went to Timnah, where a young Philistine woman attracted his attention.
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 back home and told his father and mother, “A Philistine woman in Timnah caught my attention. Now get her for me because I want to marry her.”
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.
But his father and mother replied, “Can't you find a young woman from our tribe or from our own people? Do you have to go to the heathen Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson told his father, “Just get her for me, because she's the one I find her attractive.”
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.
(His father and mother didn't realize that this was in the Lord's plans, who was looking for an opportunity to deal with the Philistines; because at that time the Philistines ruled 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.
Samson went to Timnah with his father and mother. When they passed the Timnah vineyards, all of a sudden young lion came roaring out to attack 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.
The Spirit of the Lord swept over him, and he ripped the lion apart with his bare hands as easily as ripping apart a young goat. But he didn't tell his father or mother what he'd done. Then he went on his way.
7 Un viņš nonāca un runāja ar to sievu, un tā patika Simsona acīm.
When Samson talked with the woman and decided she was right for him.
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.
Later on when Samson returned to marry her, he turned off the road to look for the lion's carcass. Inside the body was a swarm of bees and their honey.
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.
He scraped out some of honey into his hands and ate it as he walked. When he got back to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it. But he didn't tell them he'd taken the honey from a lion's carcass.
10 Kad nu viņa tēvs pie tās sievas bija nonācis, tad Simsons tur turēja kāzas, jo tā tie jaunekļi mēdza darīt.
While his father went to visit the woman, Samson held a drinking party there, because this was the custom among high-class young men.
11 Un kad tie viņu redzēja, tad tie ņēma trīsdesmit biedrus, un tie bija pie viņa.
When the Philistine people saw him, they arranged for thirty men to accompany 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.
“Let me pose a riddle to you,” Samson said to them. “If you can find its meaning and explain it to me during the seven days of the party, I'll give you thirty lines cloaks and thirty sets of clothes.
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 can't explain it to me, you'll give me thirty lines cloaks and thirty sets of clothes.” “Fine,” they replied. “Let's hear your riddle!”
14 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: barība izgāja no rijēja un saldums izgāja no stiprā. Un tanīs trijās dienās tie to mīklu nevarēja uzminēt.
“Food came out of the eater, and sweetness came out of the strong,” he said. Three days later they still hadn't worked it out.
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?
On the fourth day they came to Samson's wife and told her, “Use your charms to get your husband to explain the riddle and then tell us, or we'll burn you and all your family to death. Did you bring us here just to rob 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 Samson's wife went crying to him, saying, “You really do hate me, don't you! You don't love me at all! You have posed a riddle to my people, but haven't even explained it to me.” “So?” he replied. “I haven't even explained it to my father or mother! Why should I explain 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.
She cried in front of him for the whole time of the party, and eventually on the seventh day he explained it to her because she nagged him so much. Then she explained the meaning of the riddle to the Philistine young men.
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.
Before the sun set on the seventh day, the men of the town came to Samson and said, “What's sweeter than honey? What's stronger than a lion?” “If you hadn't used my cow to plough with, you wouldn't have found out the meaning of my riddle,” Samson replied.
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.
The Spirit of the Lord swept over him and he went to Ashkelon, killed thirty of their men, took their clothing, and gave it to those who had explained the riddle. Furiously anger, Samson went back to his father's house.
20 Un Simsona sieva tika dota viņa biedram, kas tam bija bijis par biedru.
Samson's wife was given to his best man who had accompanied him at the wedding.
