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 it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into 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 verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: [is] not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 A Samson im reèe: ja neæu biti kriv Filistejima kad im uèinim zlo.
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
4 I otišavši Samson uhvati trista lisica, i uze luèa, i sveza po dvije za repove, i metnu po jedan luè meðu dva repa,
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took fire-brands, and turned tail to tail, and put a fire-brand in the midst between 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 the brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives.
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 hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt 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 have done this, yet will I be avenged of 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.
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Tada izidoše Filisteji i stadoše u oko prema Judi, i raširiše se do Lehije.
Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves 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, Why have ye come up against us? And they answered, We have come to bind Samson, to do to him as he hath 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 to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done to us? And 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.
And they said to him, We have come down to bind thee, that we may 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 spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, 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.
[And] when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed 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 jaw-bone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men with it.
16 Potom reèe Samson: èeljušæu magareæom jednu gomilu, dvije gomile, èeljušæu magareæom pobih tisuæu ljudi.
And Samson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain 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 jaw-bone out of his hand, and called 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 very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die by 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.
But God cleaved a hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of it; and when he had drank, his spirit came again, and he revived. Wherefore he called the name of it En-hakkore, which [is] in Lehi to this day.
20 I bi sudija Izrailju za vremena Filistejskoga dvadeset godina.
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years.
