Juízes 14
1 E descendo Sansão a Timna, viu em Timna uma mulher das filhas dos filisteus.
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
2 E subiu, e declarou-o a seu pai e a sua mãe, dizendo: Eu vi em Timna uma mulher das filhas dos filisteus: rogo-vos que a deis a mim por mulher.
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as wife."
3 E seu pai e sua mãe lhe disseram: Não há mulher entre as filhas de teus irmãos, nem em todo meu povo, para que vás tu a tomar mulher dos filisteus incircuncisos? E Sansão respondeu a seu pai: Toma-a a mim por mulher, porque esta agradou a meus olhos.
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes."
4 Mas seu pai e sua mãe não sabiam que isto vinha do SENHOR, e que ele buscava ocasião contra os filisteus: porque naquele tempo os filisteus dominavam sobre Israel.
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
5 E Sansão desceu com seu pai e com sua mãe a Timna: e quando chegaram às vinhas de Timna, eis que um leão jovem que vinha bramando até ele.
Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against him.
6 E o espírito do SENHOR caiu sobre ele, e despedaçou-o como quem despedaça um cabrito, sem ter nada em sua mão: e não deu a entender a seu pai nem a sua mãe o que havia feito.
And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Veio, pois, e falou à mulher que havia agradado a Sansão.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
8 E voltando depois de alguns dias para tomá-la, apartou-se para ver o corpo morto do leão, e eis que no corpo do leão um enxame de abelhas, e um favo de mel.
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 E tomando-o em suas mãos, foi-se comendo-o pelo caminho: e chegado que houve a seu pai e a sua mãe, deu-lhes também a eles que comessem; mas não lhes revelou que havia tomado aquela mel do corpo do leão.
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
10 Veio, pois, seu pai à mulher, e Sansão fez ali banquete; porque assim costumavam fazer os rapazes.
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
11 E quando eles o viram, tomaram trinta companheiros que estivessem com ele;
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Aos quais Sansão disse: Eu vos proporei agora um enigma, o qual se nos sete dias do banquete vós me declarardes e descobrirdes, eu vos darei trinta sábanas e trinta mudas de vestidos.
Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
13 Mas se não o souberes declarar a mim, vós me dareis as trinta mantas e as trinta mudas de vestidos. E eles responderam: Propõe-nos teu enigma, e o ouviremos.
But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to hear it."
14 Então lhes disse: Do comedor saiu comida, E do forte saiu doçura. E eles não puderam declarar-lhe o enigma em três dias.
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
15 E ao sétimo dia disseram à mulher de Sansão: Induz a teu marido a que nos declare este enigma, para que não te queimemos a ti e à casa de teu pai. Chamaste-nos aqui para possuir-nos?
And it happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
16 E chorou a mulher de Sansão diante dele, e disse: Somente me aborreces e não me amas, pois que não me declaras o enigma que propuseste aos filhos de meu povo. E ele respondeu: Eis que nem a meu pai nem a minha mãe o declarei; e havia eu de declará-lo a ti?
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?"
17 E ela chorou diante dele os sete dias que eles tiveram banquete: mas ao sétimo dia ele o declarou a ela, porque lhe constrangeu; e ela o declarou aos filhos de seu povo.
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 E ao sétimo dia, antes que o sol se pusesse, os da cidade lhe disseram: Que coisa mais doce que o mel? E que coisa mais forte que o leão? Se não arásseis com minha novilha, Nunca teríeis descoberto meu enigma.
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle."
19 E o espírito do SENHOR caiu sobre ele, e desceu a Asquelom, e feriu trinta homens deles; e tomando seus despojos, deu as mudas de vestidos aos que haviam explicado o enigma: e acendido em ira foi-se à casa de seu pai.
The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 E a mulher de Sansão foi dada a seu companheiro, com o qual ele antes se acompanhava.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
