Sudije 15
1 A poslije nekoliko dana, o pšeniènoj žetvi, doðe Samson da pohodi ženu svoju donesavši joj jare, i reèe: idem k ženi svojoj u ložnicu. Ali mu otac njezin ne dade da uðe.
But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2 Jer reèe otac njezin: ja mišljah zacijelo da ti nije po volji, pa je dadoh drugu tvojemu; nego mlaða sestra njezina nije li ljepša od nje? uzmi nju mjesto one.
Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
3 A Samson im reèe: ja neæu biti kriv Filistejima kad im uèinim zlo.
Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4 I otišavši Samson uhvati trista lisica, i uze luèa, i sveza po dvije za repove, i metnu po jedan luè meðu dva repa,
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
5 Pa zapali luèeve, i pusti u ljetinu Filistejsku, i popali ljetinu požnjevenu i nepožnjevenu, i vinograde i maslinike.
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6 Tada Filisteji rekoše: ko je to uèinio? I odgovoriše: Samson zet Tamnaæaninov, jer mu uze ženu i dade je drugu njegovu. Tada doðoše Filisteji i spališe ognjem nju i oca njezina.
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
7 A Samson im reèe: ako ste i uèinili tako, opet æu vam se osvetiti, pa æu se onda okaniti.
Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
8 I polomi ih ljuto nogama po bedrima: potom otide i nastani se u peæini od stijene Itama.
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9 Tada izidoše Filisteji i stadoše u oko prema Judi, i raširiše se do Lehije.
Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
10 A ljudi od Jude rekoše: što ste izašli na nas? I odgovoriše: izašli smo da svežemo Samsona i da mu uèinimo kako je on nama uèinio.
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11 Tada izide tri tisuæe ljudi iz Jude k peæini u stijeni Itamu, i rekoše Samsonu: ne znaš li da Filisteji vladaju nad nama? zašto si nam dakle to uèinio? A on im reèe: kako su oni meni uèinili tako ja uèinih njima.
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
12 Oni mu rekoše: došli smo da te svežemo i predamo u ruke Filistejima. A Samson im reèe: zakunite mi se da neæete vi uložiti na me.
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13 Oni mu odgovoriše i rekoše: neæemo; nego æemo te samo svezati i predati u njihove ruke, ali te neæemo pogubiti. I svezaše ga u dva nova uža i odvedoše ga iz stijene.
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 I kad on doðe do Lehije, Filisteji ga sretoše vièuæi od radosti; a duh Gospodnji siðe na nj, i uža na rukama njegovima postaše kao konci izgorjeli od vatre, i spadoše sveze s ruku njegovijeh.
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 I on naðe èeljust magareæu još sirovu, i pruživ ruku svoju uze je, i pobi njom tisuæu ljudi.
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Potom reèe Samson: èeljušæu magareæom jednu gomilu, dvije gomile, èeljušæu magareæom pobih tisuæu ljudi.
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17 A kad izreèe, baci èeljust iz ruke svoje, i nazva ono mjesto Ramat-Lehija.
It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 I bijaše žedan jako, te zavapi ka Gospodu i reèe: ti si uèinio rukom sluge svojega ovo izbavljenje veliko; a sada hoæu li umrijeti od žeði, ili æu pasti u ruke neobrezanima?
He was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
19 Tada Bog rascijepi stijenu u Lehiji, i proteèe voda iz nje, te se napi, i povrati mu se duh i oživje. Zato se prozva onaj izvor En-Akore, koji je u Lehiji do današnjega dana.
And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 I bi sudija Izrailju za vremena Filistejskoga dvadeset godina.
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
