Sog̒u 15
1 Un notikās pēc kādam dienām ap kviešu pļaujamo laiku, tad Simsons savu sievu apmeklēja ar kazlēnu un sacīja: es gribu iet pie savas sievas kambarī; bet viņas tēvs viņam neļāva iet kambarī.
Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.
2 Jo viņas tēvs sacīja: es domāju, ka tu nīdēdams viņu ienīsti, tāpēc es to tavam biedram esmu devis. Vai viņas jaunākā māsa nav skaistāka nekā viņa? Lai jel šī ir tava viņas vietā.
“I was sure that you thoroughly hated her,” said her father, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her instead.”
3 Tad Simsons uz tiem sacīja: šim brīdim es esmu nenoziedzīgs pie Fīlistiem, ja es tiem ļaunu darīšu.
Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
4 Un Simsons aizgāja un gūstīja trīs simt lapsas un ņēma pagales un grieza asti pret asti un lika vienu pagali vidu starp divām astēm.
Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he took torches, turned the foxes tail-to-tail, and fastened a torch between each pair of tails.
5 Un viņš tās pagales iededzināja ar uguni un tās palaida Fīlistu druvās, un iededzināja gan gubas, gan druvas, gan vīna dārzus, gan eļļas kokus.
Then he lit the torches and released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, burning up the piles of grain and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Tad tie Fīlisti sacīja: kas to ir darījis? Tad tapa sacīts: Simsons, tā Timnieša znots, tāpēc ka tas viņa sievu ņēmis un viņa biedrim devis. Tad Fīlisti nāca un sadedzināja viņu un viņas tēvu ar uguni.
“Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.
7 Un Simsons uz tiem sacīja: ja jūs tā dariet, tad es pret jums atriebšos un tad tikai mitēšos.
And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
8 Un viņš sita tos par pleciem un gurniem ar lielu sišanu; un viņš nogāja un dzīvoja Etama klints alā.
And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
9 Tad Fīlisti aizgāja un apmeta lēģeri pret Jūdu un apmetās Liejā.
Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
10 Un tie vīri no Jūda sacīja: kāpēc jūs pret mums esat cēlušies? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam nākuši, Simsonu saistīt, lai mēs viņam darām, kā viņš mums darījis.
“Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
11 Tad nonāca trīstūkstoš vīri no Jūda uz Etama klints alu un sacīja uz Simsonu: vai tu nezini, ka Fīlisti pār mums valda? Kāpēc tad tu mums to esi darījis? Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kā tie man ir darījuši, tā es atkal tiem esmu darījis.
In response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked Samson, “Do you not realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
12 Un tie uz viņu sacīja: mēs esam nonākuši tevi saistīt un tevi nodot Fīlistu rokā. Un Simsons uz tiem sacīja: zvērējiet man, ka jūs mani negribat nokaut.
But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
13 Un tie runāja uz viņu sacīdami: nē, bet mēs esam nākuši tevi saistīt un tevi viņu rokā nodot, bet mēs tevi nenokausim. Un tie viņu saistīja ar divām jaunām virvēm un to veda augšām no tās klints.
“No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
14 Kad nu viņš līdz Liejai nāca, tad Fīlisti viņam gavilēja pretī, bet Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār viņu, un tās virves, kas bija ap viņa rokām, kļuva tā kā linu pavedieni, ko uguns ir apsvilinājis, un viņa saites trūka no viņa rokām.
When Samson arrived in Lehi, the Philistines came out shouting against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and the bonds broke loose from his hands.
15 Un viņš atrada jaunu ēzeļa žokļa kaulu, un izstiepa savu roku un to ņēma un ar to nosita tūkstoš vīrus.
He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
16 Un Simsons sacīja: ar ēzeļa žokļa kaulu vienu pulku, divus pulkus, ar ēzeļa žokļa kaulu nokāvu tūkstoš vīrus.
Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”
17 Un kad viņš bija izrunājis, tad viņš nometa to žokļa kaulu no savas rokas un nosauca to vietu RamatLieja (žokļa kaula kalns).
And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.
18 Un viņš bija ļoti izslāpis un piesauca To Kungu un sacīja: Tu caur Sava kalpa roku šo lielo pestīšanu esi devis, un nu man aiz slāpēm jāmirst un jākrīt šo neapgraizīto rokā.
And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
19 Tad Dievs pāršķēla kādu dobumu, kas bija Liejā; tad ūdens no tā izgāja, un viņš dzēra. Un viņa gars griezās atpakaļ, un viņš atspirga; tāpēc viņš to vietu nosauca Piesaucēja avotu, kas ir Liejā līdz šai dienai.
So God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day.
20 Un viņš tiesāja Israēli Fīlistu laikā divdesmit gadus.
And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
