< Sudije 14 >
1 I siðe Samson u Tamnat, i vidje ondje jednu djevojku izmeðu kæeri Filistejskih.
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 I vrativši se kaza ocu svojemu i materi svojoj govoreæi: vidjeh djevojku u Tamnatu izmeðu kæeri Filistejskih; oženite me njom.
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 A otac i mati rekoše mu: zar nema djevojke meðu kæerima tvoje braæe u svem narodu mom, da ideš da se oženiš izmeðu Filisteja neobrezanijeh? A Samson odgovori ocu svojemu: njom me oženi, jer mi je ona omiljela.
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 A otac i mati njegova ne znadijahu da je to od Gospoda, i da traži zadjevicu s Filistejima; jer u ono vrijeme Filisteji vladahu sinovima Izrailjevijem.
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 I tako side Samson s ocem svojim i s materom svojom u Tamnat, i kad doðoše do vinograda Tamnatskih, gle, mlad lav rièuæi sukobi ga.
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 I duh Gospodnji side na nj, te rastrže lava kao jare nemajuæi ništa u ruci: i ne kaza ocu ni materi šta je uèinio.
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 I tako došavši govori s djevojkom, i ona omilje Samsonu.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
8 A poslije nekoliko dana iduæi opet da je odvede, svrne da vidi mrtvoga lava; a gle, u mrtvom lavu roj pèela i med.
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 I izvadi ga u ruku, i poðe putem jeduæi; i kad doðe k ocu i materi, dade im te jedoše; ali im ne reèe da je iz mrtvoga lava izvadio med.
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 I tako doðe otac njegov k onoj djevojci, i Samson uèini ondje veselje, jer tako èinjahu momci.
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
11 I kad ga vidješe Filisteji, izabraše trideset druga da budu s njim.
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 I reèe im Samson: ja æu vam zagonenuti zagonetku, pa ako mi je odgonenete za sedam dana dok je veselje i pogodite, daæu vam trideset košulja i tridesetore sveèane haljine.
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 Ako li ne odgonenete, vi æete dati meni trideset košulja i tridesetore sveèane haljine. A oni mu rekoše: zagoneni zagonetku svoju, da èujemo.
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 Tada im reèe: od onoga koji jede izide jelo, i od ljutoga izide slatko. I ne mogoše odgonenuti zagonetke tri dana.
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 I sedmi dan rekoše ženi Samsonovoj: nagovori muža svojega da nam kaže zagonetku, ili æemo spaliti ognjem tebe i dom oca tvojega. Jeste li nas zato pozvali da nam uzmete imanje? je li tako?
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 I stade plakati žena Samsonova pred njim govoreæi: ti mrziš na me, i ti me ne ljubiš; zagonenuo si zagonetku sinovima naroda mojega, a neæeš meni da je kažeš. A on joj reèe: gle, ni ocu svojemu ni materi svojoj nijesam je kazao, a tebi da je kažem?
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 I ona plaka pred njim za sedam dana dokle trajaše veselje. A sedmi dan kaza joj, jer bješe navalila na nj; a ona kaza zagonetku sinovima naroda svojega.
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 Tada mu rekoše ljudi grada onoga sedmi dan dok sunce ne zaðe: šta je slaðe od meda, i šta je ljuæe od lava? A on im reèe: da nijeste orali na mojoj junici, ne biste pogodili moje zagonetke.
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 I doðe na nj duh Gospodnji, te siðe u Askalon, i pobi ondje trideset ljudi, i uze odijelo s njih i dade sveèane haljine onima koji odgonenuše zagonetku; i rasrdi se vrlo i otide kuæi oca svojega.
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 A žena Samsonova udade se za druga njegova, s kojim se bijaše udružio.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
