Samson’s Marriage
Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines.
Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines.
І пійшов Самсон у Тимнат, і запізнавсь із Филистійською дївчиною.
So he came back and told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife.”
Вернувшись, оповідав про се батькові й матері та й каже: Запізнавсь я в Тимнатї з Филистійською дївчиною; дайте менї її за жінку.
Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she looks good to me.”
Батько й мати ж відказали йому: Хиба ж між дївчатами твого браття і в усьому народї нашому та нема тобі жінки, що хочеш узяти в чужій сторонї у Филистіїв, у необрізаних? Відказує ж Самсон батькові: Сю возьми менї: бо вона сподобалась менї.
However, his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
Не знали ж батько й мати його, що на се була воля Господня, та що він шукав причини навпроти Филистіїв, того бо часу панували Филистії над Ізраїлем.
Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.
От і пійшов Самсон із батьком та матїррю в Тимнат, і як наближувались вони до виноградників Тимнатських, скочив несподївано проти нього левчук рикаючий.
The Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, so that he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.
Зійшов тодї на його Господень дух, що він левчука роздер нїби козеня, не мавши в руцї нїчого. Батькові-матері ж не сказав, що зробив.
So he went down and talked to the woman; and she looked good to Samson.
Тодї прийшов (у Тимнат) та й перемовивсь із дївчиною, і прихилилась вона до Самсона.
When he returned later to take her, he turned aside to look at the carcass of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the body of the lion.
Трохи згодом ійшов ізнов, щоб її взяти додому, і звернув, щоб глянути на мертвого лева, аж у левиній пащі бжоляний рій із медом.
So he scraped the honey into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.
Він забрав його в руки та й їв собі в дорозї, а прийшовши до батька-матері, дав і їм, і вони їли, та й не сказав, що забрав мед із левиного трупу.
Then his father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men customarily did this.
Потім прийшов батько його до дївчини, і справив Самсон там бенкет: бо так звичайно чинили женихи.
When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
І як там побачили його, вибрали трийцять бояр, щоб круг його були.
Samson’s Riddle
Then Samson said to them, “Let me now propound a riddle to you; if you will indeed tell it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.
І промовив до них Самсон: Загадаю вам загадку. Як одгадаєте її менї за сїм бенкетових днїв, так я вам дам трийцять сорочок і трийцять сьвяточних жупанів.
“But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.” And they said to him, “Propound your riddle, that we may hear it.”
Коли ж не зумієте відгадати, так ви менї дасте трийцять сорочок і трийцять сьвяткових жупанів. І відказали йому: Загадуй, почуємо.
So he said to them,
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.”
But they could not tell the riddle in three days.
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.”
But they could not tell the riddle in three days.
І рече їм: Вийшла харч з їдючого, солодощі із страшного. Так не змогли вони розвязати загадки в трьох днях.
Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?”
На четвертий же день прохали вони Самсонову жінку: Ублагай бо чоловіка, щоб він розвязав нам загадку, ато спалимо тебе вкупі з батьківським будинком. Чи то ж про те тільки вибрали нас, щоб обідрати нас?
Samson’s wife wept before him and said, “You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me.” And he said to her, “Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?”
І плакала молода Самсонова перед ним і казала: Ой противна я тобі, не любиш мене. Загадав єси моїм землякам загадку, а менї й не звіривсь. Відказав їй: Батькові мойму й матері моїй не звіривсь, а тобі б то звірився?
However she wept before him seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people.
І плакала вона перед ним всї днї, покіль справляли вони бенкет. Семого ж дня виявив таки їй, бо докучливо просила його. Вона ж виявила загадку землякам своїм.
So the men of the city said to 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 to them,
“If you had not plowed with my heifer,
You would not have found out my riddle.”
“What is sweeter than honey?
And what is stronger than a lion?”
And he said to them,
“If you had not plowed with my heifer,
You would not have found out my riddle.”
От і кажуть вони йому семого дня перед заходом сонця: Що над мед солодше? що над лева страшнїйше? І рече їм: Коли б ви моєю телицею не орали, так моєї б загадки не згадали.
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of them and took their spoil and gave the changes of clothes to those who told the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
Найшов тодї на його дух Божий, що він пійшов ув Аскалон, і вбив там трийцять чоловіка, поздіймав з них одежу та й пороздавав сьвяточні жупани тим, що загадку його відгадали. І загорівсь великим гнївом і пійшов у домівку батьківську.
