Juízes 14
1 E desceu Sansão a Timnatha: e, vendo em Timnatha a uma mulher das filhas dos philisteus,
And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Subiu, e declarou-o a seu pai e sua mãe, e disse: Vi uma mulher em Timnatha, das filhas dos philisteus; agora pois, tomai-ma por mulher.
And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her to me for wife.
3 Porém seu pai e sua mãe lhe disseram: Não há porventura mulher entre as filhas de teus irmãos, nem entre todo o meu povo, para que tu vás tomar mulher dos philisteus, daqueles incircuncisos? E disse Sansão a seu pai: tomai-me esta, porque ela agrada aos meus olhos
Then said unto him his father and his mother, Is there not among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going to take a wife from the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said unto his father, This one take for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4 Mas seu pai e sua mãe não sabiam que isto vinha do Senhor; pois buscava ocasião dos philisteus: porquanto naquele tempo os philisteus dominavam sobre Israel.
But his father and his mother knew not that it was from the Lord, that he sought but an occasion against the Philistines; and at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Desceu pois Sansão com seu pai e com sua mãe a Timnatha: e, chegando às vinhas de Timnatha, eis que um filho de leão, bramando, lhe saiu ao encontro.
And Samson thus went down, with his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and when they were come as far as the vineyards of Timnathah, behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.
6 Então o espírito do Senhor se apossou dele tão possantemente que o fendeu do alto a baixo, como quem fende um cabrito, sem ter nada na sua mão: porém nem a seu pai nem a sua mãe deu a saber o que tinha feito.
And the Spirit of the Lord came suddenly over him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 E desceu, e falou àquela mulher, e agradou aos olhos de Sansão.
And he went down, and spoke unto the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 E depois de alguns dias voltou ele para a tomar: e, apartando-se do caminho a ver o corpo do leão morto, eis que no corpo do leão havia um enxame de abelhas com mel.
And when he returned after a time to take her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the carcass of the lion and honey likewise.
9 E tomou-o nas suas mãos, e foi-se andando e comendo dele; e foi-se a seu pai e a sua mãe, e deu-lhes dele, e comeram, porém não lhes deu a saber que tomara o mel do corpo do leão.
And he took it out in his hands, and went on, eating as he was going, and came to his father and mother, and he gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that out of the carcass of the lion he had taken the honey.
10 Descendo pois seu pai àquela mulher, fez Sansão ali um banquete; porque assim o costumavam fazer os mancebos.
And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 E sucedeu que, como o vissem, tomaram trinta companheiros para estarem com ele.
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they remained with him.
12 Disse-lhes pois Sansão: Vos darei um enigma a adivinhar: e, se nos sete dias das bodas mo declarardes e descobrirdes, vos darei trinta lençois e trinta mudas de vestidos.
And Samson said unto them, I will now propound unto you a riddle; if ye can in anywise tell it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then will I give you thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments;
13 E, se mo não poderdes declarar, vós me dareis a mim os trinta lençois e as trinta mudas de vestidos. E eles lhe disseram: Dá-nos o teu enigma a adivinhar, para que o ouçamos.
But if ye will not be able to tell it to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments. And they said unto him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 Então lhes disse: Do comedor saiu comida, e doçura saiu do forte. E em três dias não puderam declarar o enigma.
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not solve the riddle in three days.
15 E sucedeu que, ao sétimo dia, disseram à mulher de Sansão: Persuade a teu marido que nos declare o enigma, para que porventura não queimemos a fogo a ti e à casa de teu pai: chamastes-nos vós aqui para possuir o que é nosso, não é assim?
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may solve unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye invited us to impoverish us? is it not so?
16 E a mulher de Sansão chorou diante dele, e disse: Tão somente me aborreces, e não me amas; pois deste aos filhos do meu povo um enigma a adivinhar, e ainda mo não declaraste a mim. E ele lhe disse: Eis que nem a meu pai nem a minha mãe o declarei, e to declararia a ti?
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou doest but hate me, and lovest me not: that riddle hast thou propounded unto the children of my people, and me hast thou not told [the solution]. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it to my father and to my mother, and thee shall I tell it?
17 E chorou diante dele os sete dias em que celebravam as bodas: sucedeu pois que ao sétimo dia lho declarou, porquanto o importunava; então ela declarou o enigma aos filhos do seu povo.
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she had worried him: and she told [the solution of] the riddle to the children of her people.
18 Disseram-lhe pois os homens daquela cidade, ao sétimo dia, antes de se pôr o sol: Que coisa há mais doce do que o mel? e que coisa há mais forte do que o leão? E ele lhes disse: Se vós não lavrasseis com a minha novilha, nunca terieis descoberto o meu enigma.
Then said unto him the men of the city on the seventh day before the sun was yet gone down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 Então o espírito do Senhor tão possantemente se apossou dele, que desceu aos ascalonitas, e matou deles trinta homens, e tomou os seus vestidos, e deu as mudas de vestidos aos que declararam o enigma: porém acendeu-se a sua ira, e subiu à casa de seu pai
And the Spirit of the Lord came suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and he took their apparel, and gave the changes of garments unto the expounders of the riddle; but his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 E a mulher de Sansão foi dada ao seu companheiro que o acompanhava.
And Samson's wife was given to his companion who had been given him as his associate.
