Книга Судей израилевых 15
1 И бысть по днех во дни жатвы пшеницы, и посети Сампсон жену свою, несый козлище от коз, и рече: да вниду к жене моей в ложницу. И не даде ему отец ея внити.
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 allow him to go in.
2 И рече отец ея, глаголя: рех, яко ненавидя возненавидел еси ю, и отдах ю единому от другов твоих: не се ли сестра ея меншая добрейши ея есть? Да будет тебе ныне вместо ея.
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 И рече ему Сампсон: чист есмь ныне от Филистимлян, яко сотворю аз с ними зло.
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them harm.
4 И пойде Сампсон, и ят триста лисиц, и взя свещы, и связа ошиб ко ошибу, и устрои едину свещу между двема ошибома:
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between two tails.
5 и разжже огнь в свещах, и пусти я в нивы Филистимски: и запали нивы от гумен и даже до класов простых и до винограда и масличия.
And when he had lighted the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing grain, with the vineyards and olives.
6 И рекоша иноплеменницы: кто сотвори сия? И рекоша: Сампсон зять Фамнафеев, яко взя жену его и даде ю единому от другов его. И взыдоша иноплеменницы и сожгоша ю и дом отца ея огнем.
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 И рече им Сампсон: аще и сотвористе вы тако ей, аз не благоизволю, но отмщение мое единому комуждо вас сотворю, и посем почию.
And Samson said to them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8 И порази их голени до бедр язвою велиею: и сниде, и вселися у водотечи в пещере камене Итама.
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 И изыдоша Филистимляне, и ополчишася во Иуде, и разсеяшася в Лехи.
Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 И рече им всяк муж Иудин: почто приидосте на ны? И рекоша иноплеменницы: связати Сампсона приидохом и сотворити ему, якоже сотвори нам.
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 И снидоша три тысящы мужей от Иуды к пещере камене Итама и рекоша к Сампсону: не веси ли, яко владеют нами Филистимляне? И вскую сия сотворил еси нам? И рече им Сампсон: якоже ми сотвориша, тако сотворих им.
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 И рекоша ему: связати тебе приидохом и предати тя в руце иноплеменником. И рече им Сампсон: кленитеся мне, да не убиете мене вы.
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 И рекоша ему, глаголюще: ни, но токмо соузом свяжем тя и предадим тя в руки их, смертию же не умертвим тебе. И связаша его двема ужы новыми и изведоша его от камене того.
And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee securely, 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 И той прииде до Челюсти: иноплеменницы же воскликнуша и текоша противу ему. И сниде на него Дух Господень, и быша ужя на мышцах его яко изгребие, егда зажжется огнем: и разрешишася узы его от руку его:
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 и обрете челюсть ослю повержену, и простре руку свою, и взя ю: и изби ею тысящу мужей.
And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men with it.
16 И рече Сампсон: челюстию ослею потребляя потребих их, яко челюстию ослею избих тысящу мужей.
And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men.
17 И бысть егда преста глаголя, и поверже челюсть от руки своея: и нарече место тое Избиение Челюстное.
And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
18 И возжажда зело, и возопи ко Господу, и рече: Ты благоволил еси в руце раба Твоего спасение великое сие, и ныне умираю жаждею, и впаду в руки необрезанных.
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 И разверзе Бог язву на Челюсти, и изыде из нея вода, и пи: и возвратися дух его, и оживе: сего ради прозвася имя ей Источник призывающаго, иже есть в Челюсти, даже до дне сего.
But God opened an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore he called the name of it Enhakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
20 И суди Израилю во дни Филистимлян двадесять лет.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
