Judges 14

Samson s'a pogorît la Timna, şi a văzut acolo o femeie din fetele Filistenilor.

And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

Cînd s'a suit înapoi, a spus lucrul acesta tatălui său şi mamei sale, şi a zis: ,,Am văzut la Timna o femeie din fetele Filistenilor; luaţi-mi -o acum de nevastă``.

And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

Tatăl său şi mama sa i-au zis: ,,Nu este nici o femeie între fetele fraţilor tăi şi în tot poporul nostru, de te duci să-ţi iei nevastă dela Filisteni, cari sînt netăiaţi împrejur?`` Şi Samson a zis tatălui său: ,,Ia-mi -o, căci îmi place.``

Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

Tatăl său şi mama sa nu ştiau că lucrul acesta venea dela Domnul: căci Samson căuta un prilej de ceartă din partea Filistenilor. În vremea aceea Filistenii stăpîneau peste Israel.

But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

Samson s'a pogorît împreună cu tatăl său şi cu mama sa la Timna. Cînd au ajuns la viile din Timna, iată că i -a ieşit înainte un leu tînăr mugind.

Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

Duhul Domnului a venit peste Samson; şi, fără să aibă ceva în mînă, Samson a sfîşiat pe leu cum se sfîşie un ied. N'a spus tatălui său şi mamei sale ce făcuse.

And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

S'a pogorît şi a vorbit cu femeia aceea, şi ea i -a plăcut.

And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

După cîtva timp, s'a dus iarăşi la Timna ca s'o ia, şi s'a abătut să vadă hoitul leului. Şi iată că în trupul leului era un roi de albine şi miere.

And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

A luat mierea în mînă, şi a mîncat -o pe drum; şi cînd a ajuns la tatăl său şi la mama sa, le -a dat, şi au mîncat şi ei din ea. Dar nu le -a spus că luase mierea aceasta din trupul leului.

And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

Tatăl lui Samson s'a pogorît la femeia aceea. Şi acolo Samson a făcut un ospăţ, căci aşa făceau tinerii.

So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

Cum l-au văzut, au poftit treizeci de tovarăşi, cari au stat împreună cu el.

And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

Samson le -a zis: ,,Am să vă spun o ghicitoare. Dacă mi -o veţi ghici în cele şapte zile ale ospăţului, şi dacă o veţi deslega, vă voi da treizeci de cămăşi şi treizeci de haine de schimb.

And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

Dar dacă n'o veţi ghici, să-mi daţi voi treizeci de cămăşi şi treizeci de haine de schimb``. ,,Ei i-au zis:`` ,,Spune-ne ghicitoarea ta s'o auzim``.

But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.

Şi el le -a zis: ,,Din cel ce mănîncă a ieşit ce se mănîncă, Şi din cel tare a ieşit dulceaţă``.

And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

Trei zile, n-au putut deslega ghicitoarea. În ziua a şaptea, au zis nevestei lui Samson: ,,Înduplecă pe bărbatul tău să ne deslege ghicitoarea; altfel, te vom arde, pe tine şi casa tatălui tău. Ne-aţi adunat aici ca să ne jăfuiţi, nu -i aşa?``

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

Nevasta lui Samson plîngea lîngă el şi zicea: ,,Tu n'ai decît ură pentru mine, şi nu mă iubeşti; ai spus o ghicitoare copiilor poporului meu, şi nu mi-ai deslegat -o!`` Şi el i -a răspuns: ,,N'am deslegat -o nici tatălui meu, nici mamei mele: să ţi -o desleg ţie``?

And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

Ea a plîns lîngă el tot timpul celor şapte zile cît a ţinut ospătul; şi în ziua a şaptea, i -a deslegat -o, căci îl necăjea. Şi ea a dat copiilor poporului ei deslegarea ghicitorii.

And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

Oamenii din cetate au zis lui Samson în ziua a şaptea, înainte de apusul soarelui: ,,Ce este mai dulce de cît mierea, şi ce este mai tare decît leul? Şi el le -a zis: ,Dacă n'aţi fi arat cu juncana mea, Nu mi-aţi fi deslegat ghicitoarea``.

And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

Duhul Domnului a venit peste el, şi s'a pogorît la Ascalon. Acolo a ucis treizeci de oameni, le -a luat hainele şi a dat hainele de schimb celor ce deslegaseră ghicitoarea. Era aprins de mînie, şi s'a suit la casa tatălui său.

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

Nevastă-sa a fost dată unuia din tovarăşii lui, cu care era prieten el.

But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
