Juízes 14
1 E descendo Sansão a Timna, viu em Timna uma mulher das filhas dos filisteus.
And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
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.
So he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said—A woman, have I seen in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines, —now, therefore, take her for me, to 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.
And his father and his mother said to him—Is there not, among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going away to take a woman from among the uncircumcised Philistines? But Samson said unto his father—Take, her, for me, for, she, is pleasant in mine 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.
Now, his father and his mother, knew not, that, from Yahweh, it was, that, an occasion, he was seeking of the Philistines, —at that time, the Philistines having dominion 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.
So Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, —and they came as far as the vineyards of Timnath, when lo! a young lion, roaring to meet 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 Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he tore it in pieces as if he had torn in pieces a kid, there being, nothing at all, in his hand, —but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Veio, pois, e falou à mulher que havia agradado a Sansão.
So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
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.
And he returned, after a time, to take her, and went aside to see the carcass of the lion, —and lo! 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.
which he took into his hands, and went on—eating as he went, and came unto his father and unto his mother, and 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 Veio, pois, seu pai à mulher, e Sansão fez ali banquete; porque assim costumavam fazer os rapazes.
And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
11 E quando eles o viram, tomaram trinta companheiros que estivessem com ele;
And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained 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.
And Samson said unto them, I pray you let me put you forth a riddle, —if ye, tell, it me, within the seven days of the banquet, and find it out, then will I give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of raiment;
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 ye cannot tell me, then shall, ye, give me thirty linen wraps, and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may 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.
And he said to them—Out of the eater, came forth food, And, out of the strong, came forth sweetness. But they could not tell the riddle, in three days.
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 came to pass, on the fourth day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn thee and the house of thy father, with fire. Was it not, to impoverish us, that ye invited us—was it not?
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?
And the wife of Samson wept upon him, and said—Thou dost, altogether hate me, and dost not love me, a riddle, hast thou put forth to the sons of my people, and, unto me, thou hast not told it! And he said to her, Lo! to my own father and mother, have I not told it, and, to thee, shall I tell it?
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.
So she wept upon him the seven days, —while their banquet lasted, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that he told her, because she urged him, and she told the riddle unto the sons 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.
And the men of the city said to him, on the seventh day—ere yet the sun went in, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not 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.
And the Spirit of Yahweh, came suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote of them thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes [of raiment] to them who had told the riddle, —and 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.
And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
