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.
And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
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 thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
3 Tad Simsons uz tiem sacīja: šim brīdim es esmu nenoziedzīgs pie Fīlistiem, ja es tiem ļaunu darīšu.
And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
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.
And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the 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.
And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.
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.
Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.
7 Un Simsons uz tiem sacīja: ja jūs tā dariet, tad es pret jums atriebšos un tad tikai mitēšos.
But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
8 Un viņš sita tos par pleciem un gurniem ar lielu sišanu; un viņš nogāja un dzīvoja Etama klints alā.
And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam.
9 Tad Fīlisti aizgāja un apmeta lēģeri pret Jūdu un apmetās Liejā.
Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
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.
And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against 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.
Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
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.
And they said to him, We are come to bind thee and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me, that you will not kill me.
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.
They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.
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.
Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.
15 Un viņš atrada jaunu ēzeļa žokļa kaulu, un izstiepa savu roku un to ņēma un ar to nosita tūkstoš vīrus.
And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
16 Un Simsons sacīja: ar ēzeļa žokļa kaulu vienu pulku, divus pulkus, ar ēzeļa žokļa kaulu nokāvu tūkstoš vīrus.
And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and 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 he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.
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.
Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall 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.
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day.
20 Un viņš tiesāja Israēli Fīlistu laikā divdesmit gadus.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
