Mga Hukom 14
1 At lumusong si Samson sa Timnah, at nakita ang isang babae sa Timnah sa mga anak ng mga Filisteo.
And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 At siya'y umahon, at isinaysay sa kaniyang ama at sa kaniyang ina, at sinabi, Aking nakita ang isang babae sa Timnah, sa mga anak ng mga Filisteo: ngayon nga'y papagasawahin ninyo ako sa kaniya.
And he went up and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a wife.
3 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang ama at ng kaniyang ina sa kaniya, Wala na bang babae sa mga anak ng iyong kapatid, o sa aking buong bayan, na ikaw ay yayaong magaasawa sa mga di tuling Filisteo? At sinabi ni Samson sa kaniyang ama, Papag-asawahin mo ako sa kaniya; sapagka't siya'y lubhang nakalulugod sa akin.
And his father and his mother said to him, Are there no daughters of your brethren, and [is there not] a woman of all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she [is] right in my eyes.
4 Nguni't hindi naalaman ng kaniyang ama at ng kaniyang ina, na kalooban ng Panginoon; sapagka't siya'y humahanap ng pagkakataon laban sa mga Filisteo. Nang panahong yaon nga'y nagpupuno ang mga Filisteo sa Israel.
And his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.
5 Nang magkagayo'y lumusong si Samson, at ang kaniyang ama, at ang kaniyang ina, sa Timnah, at naparoon sa ubasan ng Timnah: at, narito, isang batang leon ay umuungal laban sa kaniya,
And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha; and behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.
6 At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sumakaniya, at nilamuray niya siya na parang naglamuray ng isang batang kambing, at siya'y walang anoman sa kaniyang kamay; nguni't hindi niya sinaysay sa kaniyang ama o sa kaniyang ina kung ano ang kaniyang ginawa.
And the spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father and his mother what he had done.
7 At siya'y lumusong at nakipagusap sa babae, at siya'y lubhang nakalulugod kay Samson.
And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.
8 At pagkaraan ng sandali ay bumalik siya upang kunin niya siya, at siya'y lumiko upang tingnan ang patay na leon: at, narito, may isang kawan ng pukyutan sa loob ng bangkay ng leon, at pulot-pukyutan.
And after some time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees, and honey [were] in the mouth of the lion.
9 At kaniyang dinala sa kaniyang kamay at yumaon, na kinakain niya samantalang siya'y yumayaon, at siya'y naparoon sa kaniyang ama at ina, at ibinigay sa kanila, at kanilang kinain; nguni't hindi niya sinaysay sa kanila na kaniyang kinuha ang pulot sa bangkay ng leon.
And he took it into his hands, and went on eating, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out of the mouth of the lion.
10 At nilusong ng kaniyang ama ang babae: at gumawa si Samson ng isang kasayahan doon; sapagka't kinaugaliang ginagawang gayon ng mga binata.
And his father went down to the woman, and Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young men are used to do.
11 At nangyari, pagkakita nila sa kaniya, na sila'y nagdala ng tatlong pung kasama, upang maging kasama niya.
And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.
12 At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Pagbubugtungan ko kayo: kung maisaysay ninyo sa akin sa loob ng pitong araw na kasayahan, at inyong maturingan, ay bibigyan ko nga kayo ng tatlong pung kasuutang lino at tatlong pung bihisan:
And Sampson said to them, I propound you a riddle: if you will indeed tell it me, and discover it within the seven days of the feast, I will you give thirty sheets and thirty changes of raiment.
13 Nguni't kung hindi ninyo maisaysay sa akin, ay bibigyan nga ninyo ako ng tatlong pung kasuutang lino at ng tatlong pung bihisan. At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Ipagbadya mo ang iyong bugtong, upang aming marinig.
And if you can’t tell it me, you shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said to him, Propound your riddle, and we will hear it.
14 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sa mangangain ay lumabas ang pagkain, At sa malakas ay lumabas ang katamisan. At hindi nila maisaysay sa tatlong araw.
And he said to them, Meat came forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not tell the riddle for three days.
15 At nangyari, nang ikapitong araw, na kanilang sinabi sa asawa ni Samson, Dayain mo ang iyong asawa, upang maisaysay niya sa amin ang bugtong, baka ikaw ay sunugin namin at ang sangbahayan ng iyong ama: inanyayahan ba ninyo kami upang papaghirapin? di ba gayon?
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now your husband, and let him tell you the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: did you invite us to do us violence?
16 At umiyak ang asawa ni Samson sa harap niya, at nagsabi, Kinapopootan mo lamang ako, at hindi mo ako iniibig: ikaw ay nagbugtong ng isang bugtong sa mga anak ng aking bayan, at hindi mo isinaysay sa akin. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Narito, hindi ko isinaysay sa aking ama, o sa aking ina man, at akin bang sasaysayin sa iyo?
And Sampson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not; for the riddle which you have propounded to the children of my people you have not told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and my mother, shall I tell it to you?
17 At umiyak siya sa harap niya na pitong araw, habang hindi natapos ang kanilang kasayahan: at nangyari nang ikapitong araw, na isinaysay niya sa kaniya, sapagka't pinilit niya siya: at isinaysay niya ang bugtong sa mga anak ng kaniyang bayan.
And she wept before him the seven days, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it to the children of her people.
18 At sinabi ng mga lalake sa bayan kay Samson nang ikapitong araw bago lumubog ang araw. Alin kaya ang lalong matamis kay sa pulot? at ano pa kaya ang lalong malakas kay sa leon? At sinabi niya sa kanila. Kung hindi kayo nag-araro ng aking dumalaga, Hindi sana ninyo naturingan ang aking bugtong.
And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day, before sunrise, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you would not have known my riddle.
19 At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sumakaniya, at siya'y lumusong sa Ascalon, at pumatay ng tatlong pung lalake sa kanila, at kinuha ang samsam sa kanila, at ibinigay ang mga bihisan sa mga nakaturing ng bugtong at ang kaniyang galit ay nagalab, at siya'y umahon sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and went up to the house of his father.
20 Nguni't ang asawa ni Samson ay ibinigay sa kaniyang kasama, na siya niyang inaaring parang kaniyang kaibigan.
And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.
