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.
1[] Και μετα τινα καιρον, εν ταις ημεραις του θερισμου του σιτου επεσκεφθη ο Σαμψων την γυναικα αυτου, φερων εριφιον εξ αιγων· και ειπε, Θελω εισελθει προς την γυναικα μου εις τον κοιτωνα. Αλλ' ο πατηρ αυτης δεν αφηκεν αυτον να εισελθη.
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.
2Και ειπεν ο πατηρ αυτης, Ειπα κατ' εμαυτον οτι διολου εμισησας αυτην· δια τουτο εδωκα αυτην εις τον συντροφον σου· η μικροτερα αδελφη αυτης δεν ειναι ωραιοτερα αυτης; λαβε λοιπον αυτην αντ' εκεινης.
3And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
3Ο δε Σαμψων ειπε περι αυτων, Τωρα θελω εισθαι αθωος προς τους Φιλισταιους, αν εγω κακοποιω αυτους.
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.
4Και υπηγεν ο Σαμψων και επιασε τριακοσιας αλωπεκας, και ελαβε λαμπαδας, και εστρεψεν ουραν προς ουραν και εβαλε μιαν λαμπαδα μεταξυ των δυο ουρων εις το μεσον.
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.
5Και αναψας τας λαμπαδας, απελυσεν εις τα σπαρτα των Φιλισταιων, και εκαυσε τας θημωνιας, εως και τα αθεριστα ασταχυα, εως και τας αμπελους και ελαιας.
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.
6Τοτε οι Φιλισταιοι ειπον, Τις εκαμε τουτο; Και απεκριθησαν, Σαμψων ο γαμβρος του Θαμναθαιου· διοτι ελαβε την γυναικα αυτου και εδωκεν αυτην εις τον συντροφον αυτου. Και ανεβησαν οι Φιλισταιοι και εκαυσαν αυτην και τον πατερα αυτης εν πυρι.
7And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
7Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Σαμψων, Αν και σεις εκαμετε τουτο, εγω ομως θελω εκδικηθη εναντιον σας, και μετα ταυτα θελω παυσει.
8And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
8Και επαταξεν αυτους κνημην και μηρον εν σφαγη μεγαλη· και κατεβη και εκαθισεν εις το χασμα της πετρας Ηταμ.
9Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
9[] Ανεβησαν δε οι Φιλισταιοι και εστρατοπεδευσαν εν γη Ιουδα και διεχυθησαν εις Λεχι.
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.
10Και ειπον οι ανδρες Ιουδα, Δια τι ανεβητε εναντιον ημων; Οι δε απεκριθησαν, Δια να δεσωμεν τον Σαμψων ανεβημεν, να καμωμεν εις αυτον ως εκαμεν εις ημας.
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.
11Και κατεβησαν τρεις χιλιαδες ανδρων εκ του Ιουδα εις το χασμα της πετρας Ηταμ και ειπον προς τον Σαμψων, Δεν εξευρεις οτι οι Φιλισταιοι εξουσιαζουσιν εφ' ημων; τι τουτο λοιπον το οποιον εκαμες εις ημας; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Ως εκαμαν εις εμε, ουτως εκαμον εις αυτους.
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.
12Και ειπον προς αυτον, Κατεβημεν να σε δεσωμεν, δια να σε παραδωσωμεν εις την χειρα των Φιλισταιων. Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Σαμψων, Ορκισθητε προς εμε, οτι σεις δεν θελετε επιπεσει κατ' εμου.
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.
13Και ειπαν προς αυτον, λεγοντες, Ουχι· αλλα θελομεν σε δεσει δυνατα και σε παραδωσει εις την χειρα αυτων· πλην βεβαιως δεν θελομεν σε θανατωσει. Εδεσαν λοιπον αυτον με δυο νεα σχοινια και ανεβιβασαν αυτον εκ της πετρας.
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.
14Και οτε ηλθεν εις Λεχι, οι Φιλισταιοι αλαλαζοντες εδραμον εις συναντησιν αυτου. Και επηλθεν επ' αυτον Πνευμα Κυριου· και τα σχοινια, τα εις τους βραχιονας αυτου, εγειναν ως λιναριον το οποιον εξαπτεται εν τω πυρι, και τα δεσμα αυτου επεσον εκ των χειρων αυτου, διεσπασμενα.
15And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
15Και ευρηκε σιαγονα ονου νωπην, και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου ελαβεν αυτην και εφονευσε δι' αυτης χιλιους ανδρας.
16And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
16Και ειπεν ο Σαμψων, Δια σιαγονος ονου εκαμα σωρους, σωρους, δια σιαγονος ονου εφονευσα χιλιους ανδρας.
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.
17Και αφου επαυσε λαλων, ερριψε την σιαγονα απο της χειρος αυτου· και ωνομασε τον τοπον εκεινον, Ραμαθ-λεχι.
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?
18[] Και διψησας σφοδρα, εβοησε προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Συ εδωκας δια χειρος του δουλου σου την μεγαλην ταυτην σωτηριαν· και τωρα να αποθανω υπο διψης και να πεσω εις την χειρα των απεριτμητων;
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.
19Και εσχισεν ο Θεος το κοιλωμα το εν Λεχι, και εξηλθεν υδωρ απ' αυτου· και αφου επιεν, ανελαβε το πνευμα αυτου, και ανεζωοποιηθη· δια τουτο εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου, Εν-ακκορε, το οποιον ειναι εν Λεχι εως της ημερας ταυτης.
20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
20Και αυτος εκρινε τον Ισραηλ εν ταις ημεραις των Φιλισταιων εικοσι ετη.
