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.
And it came to pass, after a time, in the days of wheat-harvest, that Samson went to visit his wife, with a kid, and he said—I will go in unto my wife, in the chamber. But her father would not suffer 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.
And her father said—I, thought, that thou didst, hate, her, so I gave her to thy companion, —Is not, her younger sister, fairer than she? Pray let her be thine, in her stead.
3 A Samson im reèe: ja neæu biti kriv Filistejima kad im uèinim zlo.
And Samson said of them, I shall be more blameless, this time, than the Philistines, —though I should do them a mischief.
4 I otišavši Samson uhvati trista lisica, i uze luèa, i sveza po dvije za repove, i metnu po jedan luè meðu dva repa,
So Samson went, and caught three hundred jackals, —and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put one torch between the two tails, in the midst.
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 corn of the Philistines, —and set fire, both to the stack of sheaves and to the standing corn, and besides to the olive plantation.
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 said the Philistines—Who hath done this? And they said—Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion. So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father, with fire.
7 A Samson im reèe: ako ste i uèinili tako, opet æu vam se osvetiti, pa æu se onda okaniti.
And Samson said to them, Though ye do the like of this, yet will I be avenged upon you, and, afterwards, will I cease.
8 I polomi ih ljuto nogama po bedrima: potom otide i nastani se u peæini od stijene Itama.
So he smote them, leg on thigh, with a great smiting, —and went down and dwelt in a cleft of the crag Etam.
9 Tada izidoše Filisteji i stadoše u oko prema Judi, i raširiše se do Lehije.
Then went up the Philistines, and encamped in Judah, —and were spread abroad 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.
And the men of Judah said, Wherefore have ye come up against us? And they said—To bind Samson, are we come up, to do unto him as he hath done unto 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 went down three thousand men out of Judah, unto the cleft of the crag Etam, and said unto Samson—Knowest thou not that the Philistines are lording it over us? What, then, is this thou hast done to us? And he said unto them, As they have done 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.
And they said to him—To bind thee, are we come down, to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye will not fall upon 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.
And they answered him, saying—Nay; but we will, bind, thee, and deliver thee into their hand, but we will not, put thee to death. So they bound him with two new ropes, and took him up from the crag.
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.
He, was coming in as far as Lehi, and, the Philistines, came shouting to meet him, —when the Spirit of Yahweh came suddenly over him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as threads of flax which have been ignited with fire, so that his bonds melted from off his hands.
15 I on naðe èeljust magareæu još sirovu, i pruživ ruku svoju uze je, i pobi njom tisuæu ljudi.
Then found he the jawbone of an ass newly-slain, —so he thrust forth his hand, and took it, and smote therewith, a thousand men.
16 Potom reèe Samson: èeljušæu magareæom jednu gomilu, dvije gomile, èeljušæu magareæom pobih tisuæu ljudi.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, —have I piled them up in heaps! With the jawbone of an ass, have I smitten a thousand men!
17 A kad izreèe, baci èeljust iz ruke svoje, i nazva ono mjesto Ramat-Lehija.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, —and called the name of that place, 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?
And he was sore athirst, so he cried unto Yahweh, and said, Thou thyself, hast given, into the hand of thy servant, this great salvation, —and, now, must I die of 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.
So then God clave open the hollow that is in Lehi, and there came therefrom water, and he drank, and his spirit came back, and he revived, —for this cause, called he the name thereof—Ain-hakkore, which is in Lehi, until this day.
20 I bi sudija Izrailju za vremena Filistejskoga dvadeset godina.
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years.
