1And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.
1[] Και κατεβη ο Σαμψων εις Θαμναθ, και ειδε γυναικα εν Θαμναθ εκ των θυγατερων των Φιλισταιων.
2And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her for me as wife.
2Και ανεβη και ανηγγειλε προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς την μητερα αυτου, λεγων, Ειδον γυναικα εν Θαμναθ εκ των θυγατερων των Φιλισταιων· και τωρα λαβετε αυτην εις εμε δια γυναικα.
3And his father and his mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father, Take her for me, for she pleases me well.
3Ειπον δε προς αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου, Μηπως δεν υπαρχει μεταξυ των θυγατερων των αδελφων σου και μεταξυ παντος του λαου μου γυνη, και υπαγεις συ να λαβης γυναικα εκ των Φιλισταιων των απεριτμητων; Ο δε Σαμψων ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ταυτην λαβε εις εμε· διοτι αυτη ειναι αρεστη εις τους οφθαλμους μου.
4And his father and his mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
4Αλλ' ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου δεν εγνωρισαν οτι παρα Κυριου ητο τουτο, οτι αυτος εζητει αφορμην εναντιον των Φιλισταιων· διοτι κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον οι Φιλισταιοι εδεσποζον επι τον Ισραηλ.
5And Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and they came to the vineyards of Timnathah. And behold, a young lion roared against him;
5Τοτε κατεβη ο Σαμψων μετα του πατρος αυτου και μετα της μητρος αυτου εις Θαμναθ, και ηλθον εως των αμπελωνων της Θαμναθ· και ιδου, σκυμνος λεοντος ωρυομενος συναπηντησεν αυτον.
6and the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he rent it as one rends a kid, and nothing was in his hand. And he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
6Και επηλθεν επ' αυτον το πνευμα του Κυριου, και διεσπαραξεν αυτον ως εαν ηθελε διασπαραξει εριφιον, μη εχων μηδεν εν ταις χερσιν αυτου· πλην δεν ανηγγειλε προς τον πατερα αυτου η προς την μητερα αυτου τι ειχε καμει.
7And he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
7Και κατεβη και ελαλησε προς την γυναικα· και ηρεσεν εις τους οφθαλμους του Σαμψων.
8And he returned after a time to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, [there was] a swarm of bees in the carcase of the lion, and honey;
8Και επεστρεψε μεθ' ημερας να λαβη αυτην· και εξεκλινεν εκ της οδου δια να ιδη το πτωμα του λεοντος· και ιδου, σμηνος μελισσων εν τω πτωματι του λεοντος, και μελι.
9and he took it out in his hands, and went on, and ate as he went. And he came to his father and to his mother, and gave them, and they ate; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
9Και ελαβεν εκ τουτου εις τας χειρας αυτου και επροχωρει τρωγων, και ηλθε προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς την μητερα αυτου και εδωκεν εις αυτους και εφαγον· πλην δεν ειπε προς αυτους οτι εκ του πτωματος του λεοντος ελαβε το μελι.
10And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
10[] Και κατεβη ο πατηρ αυτου προς την γυναικα· και εκαμεν εκει ο Σαμψων συμποσιον· διοτι ουτως εσυνειθιζον οι νεοι.
11And it came to pass when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they were with him.
11Και οτε ειδον αυτον, ελαβον τριακοντα συντροφους δια να ηναι μετ' αυτου.
12And Samson said to them, Let me now propound a riddle to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments.
12Και ειπεν ο Σαμψων προς αυτους, Τωρα θελω σας προβαλει αινιγμα· εαν δυνηθητε να λυσητε αυτο εις εμε εν ταις επτα ημεραις του συμποσιου και να ευρητε αυτο, τοτε εγω θελω δωσει εις εσας τριακοντα χιτωνας λινους και τριακοντα στολας φορεματων·
13But if ye cannot explain [it] to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts, and thirty changes of garments. And they said to him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.
13αλλ' εαν δεν δυνηθητε να λυσητε αυτο εις εμε, τοτε σεις θελετε δωσει εις εμε τριακοντα χιτωνας λινους και τριακοντα στολας φορεματων. Και ειπον προς αυτον, Προβαλε το αινιγμα σου, δια να ακουσωμεν αυτο.
14And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days explain the riddle.
14Και ειπε προς αυτους, Εκ του τρωγοντος εξηλθε τροφη, και εκ του ισχυρου εξηλθε γλυκυτης. Και αυτοι δεν ηδυναντο να λυσωσι το αινιγμα δια τρεις ημερας.
15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire. Have ye invited us to impoverish us, -- is it not [so]?
15Και την εβδομην ημεραν ειπαν προς την γυναικα του Σαμψων, Κολακευσον τον ανδρα σου, και ας μας φανερωση το αινιγμα, δια να μη κατακαυσωμεν σε και τον οικον του πατρος σου εν πυρι· δια να γυμνωσητε ημας προσεκαλεσατε ημας; δεν ειναι ουτω;
16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddle to the children of my people, and hast not explained it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my father nor my mother, and shall I explain it to thee?
16Και εκλαυσεν γυνη του Σαμψων εμπροσθεν αυτου και ειπε, Βεβαιως με μισεις και δεν με αγαπας· επροβαλες αινιγμα προς τους υιους του λαου μου, και εις εμε δεν εφανερωσας αυτο. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτην, Ιδου, προς τον πατερα μου και προς την μητερα μου δεν εφανερωσα αυτο· και εις σε θελω φανερωσει;
17And she wept before him the seven days, while they had the feast. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddle to the children of her people.
17Αλλ' αυτη εκλαιεν εμπροσθεν αυτου τας επτα ημερας, καθ' ας ητο το συμποσιον αυτων· την δε εβδομην ημεραν εφανερωσεν αυτο προς αυτην, διοτι παρηνοχλησεν αυτον· η δε εφανερωσε το αινιγμα προς τους υιους του λαου αυτης.
18And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey, And what stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.
18Τοτε ειπον προς αυτον οι ανδρες της πολεως την εβδομην ημεραν, πριν δυση ο ηλιος, Τι γλυκυτερον του μελιτος; και τι ισχυροτερον του λεοντος; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Εαν δεν ηθελετε αροτριασει με την δαμαλιν μου, δεν ηθελετε ευρει το αινιγμα μου.
19And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of garments unto them that explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
19Και επηλθεν επ' αυτον πνευμα Κυριου· και κατεβη εις Ασκαλωνα και εφονευσε τριακοντα ανδρας εξ αυτων, και ελαβε τα ιματια αυτων, και εδωκε τας στολας εις τους εξηγησαντας το αινιγμα. Και εξηφθη ο θυμος αυτου, και ανεβη εις τον οικον του πατρος αυτου.
20And Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had made his friend.
20Η δε γυνη του Σαμψων εδοθη εις τον συντροφον αυτου, τον οποιον ειχε φιλον αυτου.
