Mga Hukom 14
1 At lumusong si Samson sa Timnah, at nakita ang isang babae sa Timnah sa mga anak ng mga Filisteo.
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines, and she was right in his eyes.
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.
He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as 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.
Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get 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.
But his father and his mother did not know that it was of YHWH, for he sought for an opportunity against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule 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,
Then Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah. And he turned aside and went into the vineyards of Timnah, and look, a young lion roared against 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 YHWH rushed upon him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat. And he had nothing in his hand, but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 At siya'y lumusong at nakipagusap sa babae, at siya'y lubhang nakalulugod kay Samson.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes.
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.
After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and look, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
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.
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body 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.
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there, since young men used to do so.
11 At nangyari, pagkakita nila sa kaniya, na sila'y nagdala ng tatlong pung kasama, upang maging kasama niya.
It happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be 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:
Samson said to them, "Let me now put forth a riddle to you. If you can explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and figure it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
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.
But if you can't explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Propose your riddle, we want to 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.
He said to them, "Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness." They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
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 happened on the fourth day, that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may tell us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Did you invite us here to impoverish us?"
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?
Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You just hate me, and do not love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me." And he said to her, "Look, I haven't told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell 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.
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle 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.
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" He said to them, "If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out 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.
The Spirit of YHWH rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their belongings, and gave their garments to those who explained the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 Nguni't ang asawa ni Samson ay ibinigay sa kaniyang kasama, na siya niyang inaaring parang kaniyang kaibigan.
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
