1 I siðe Samson u Tamnat, i vidje ondje jednu djevojku izmeðu kæeri Filistejskih.
And Samson went down to Timnath, —and saw a woman in Timnath, of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 I vrativši se kaza ocu svojemu i materi svojoj govoreæi: vidjeh djevojku u Tamnatu izmeðu kæeri Filistejskih; oženite me njom.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 I tako došavši govori s djevojkom, i ona omilje Samsonu.
So he went down, and spake unto the woman, —and she was pleasant in the eyes of Samson.
8 A poslije nekoliko dana iduæi opet da je odvede, svrne da vidi mrtvoga lava; a gle, u mrtvom lavu roj pèela i med.
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 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.
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 I tako doðe otac njegov k onoj djevojci, i Samson uèini ondje veselje, jer tako èinjahu momci.
And his father went down unto the woman, —and Samson made there a banquet, for, so, used the young men, to do.
11 I kad ga vidješe Filisteji, izabraše trideset druga da budu s njim.
And it came to pass, because they feared him, that they took thirty companions, who remained 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.
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 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 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 Tada im reèe: od onoga koji jede izide jelo, i od ljutoga izide slatko. I ne mogoše odgonenuti zagonetke tri dana.
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 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 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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 A žena Samsonova udade se za druga njegova, s kojim se bijaše udružio.
And the wife of Samson was given unto his companion who had served him as his friend.
