¹But it came to pass within a while after, 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 suffer him to go in.

¹Aga mõne aja pärast, nisulõikuse ajal, tuli Simson oma naist külastama, sikutall kaasas, ja ütles: 'Ma tahan minna kambrisse oma naise juurde!' Aga naise isa ei lasknud teda minna.

²And 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.

²Ja naise isa ütles: 'Ma olen alati mõelnud, et sa teda hoopis vihkad, seepärast ma andsin tema su peiupoisile. Eks ole ta noorem õde temast ilusam? Saagu nüüd see tema asemel sulle!'

³And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.

³Aga Simson vastas neile: 'Seekord olen ma vilistite ees süüta, kui ma neile paha teen.'

⁴And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

⁴Ja Simson läks ning püüdis kinni kolmsada rebast; ta võttis tõrvikuid, sidus sabad paarikaupa kokku ja pani iga sabapaari vahele tõrviku.

⁵And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

⁵Siis ta süütas tulega tõrvikud ja laskis rebased lahti vilistite viljapõldudele, süüdates nõnda põlema niihästi nabrad kui lõikamata vilja, viinamäed ja õlipuud.

⁶Then 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.

⁶Kui vilistid küsisid: 'Kes seda tegi?', siis vastati: 'Simson, timnalase väimees, sellepärast et äi võttis ära ta naise ja andis tema peiupoisile.' Siis vilistid läksid ja põletasid tulega naise ja tema isa.

⁷And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.

⁷Aga Simson ütles neile: 'Kui te nõnda teete, siis ma tõesti ei puhka enne, kui olen teile tasunud!'

⁸And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.

⁸Ja ta peksis nad puruks suures tapluses 'säärtest puusadeni'. Seejärel ta läks ja elas Eetami kaljulõhes.

⁹Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.

⁹Vilistid tulid ja lõid leeri üles Juudasse ning hulkusid Lehhis.

¹⁰And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.

¹⁰Ja Juuda mehed küsisid: 'Miks olete tulnud meie vastu?' Nad vastasid: 'Me tulime Simsonit kinni siduma, talitama temaga, nagu tema talitas meiega.'

¹¹Then 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 unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.

¹¹Siis läks Juudast kolm tuhat meest Eetami kaljulõhe juurde ja nad ütlesid Simsonile: 'Kas sa ei tea, et vilistid valitsevad meie üle? Miks sa tegid meile seda?' Aga tema vastas neile: 'Nagu nemad minule tegid, nõnda tegin mina neile.'

¹²And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.

¹²Ja nad ütlesid temale: 'Me tulime, et sind kinni siduda ja vilistite kätte anda.' Simson ütles neile: 'Vanduge mulle, et te ise ei taha mulle kallale kippuda!'

¹³And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, 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.

¹³Nad ütlesid temale vastates: 'Ei, me ainult seome sind ja anname nende kätte ega taha hoopiski mitte surmata.' Siis nad sidusid teda kahe uue köiega ja viisid ta kaljult ära.

¹⁴And when he came unto 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.

¹⁴Kui ta jõudis Lehhisse, siis hõiskasid vilistid temale vastu; aga Issanda Vaim tuli võimsasti ta peale ja siis olid köied ta käsivartel otsekui tules kõrbevad linased lõngad ja tal sulasid köidikud kätelt.

¹⁵And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

¹⁵Ja ta leidis ühe toore eeslilõualuu, sirutas oma käe, võttis selle ja lõi sellega maha tuhat meest.

¹⁶And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

¹⁶Ja Simson ütles: 'Eesli lõualuuga - hunnik hunniku peale. Eesli lõualuuga ma lõin maha tuhat meest!'

¹⁷And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.

¹⁷Ja kui ta nõnda oli öelnud, siis ta viskas käest lõualuu ning pani sellele paigale nimeks Raamat-Lehhi.

¹⁸And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

¹⁸Ja et tal oli väga suur janu, siis ta hüüdis Issanda poole ning ütles: 'Sina andsid oma sulase käe läbi selle suure võidu; nüüd ma pean aga surema janusse ja langema ümberlõikamatute kätte!'

¹⁹But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.

¹⁹Siis Jumal lõhestas Lehhis oleva õõne, sealt tuli välja vesi ja ta jõi; ta vaim tuli tagasi ja ta elustus. Seepärast pandi sellele nimeks 'Hüüdja allikas', mis on Lehhis tänapäevani.

²⁰And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

²⁰Ja ta mõistis Iisraelile kohut vilistite ajal kakskümmend aastat.
