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.

¹And it came to pass after a time, in the days of the wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in.

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!'

²And her father said, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hate her; therefore I gave her to thy companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Let her, I pray thee, be thine instead of her.

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

³And Samson said to them, This time I am blameless toward the Philistines, though I do them harm.

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

⁴And Samson went and caught three hundred jackals, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between the two tails.

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

⁵And he set the torches on fire, and let [them] run into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, and the olive gardens.

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.

⁶And the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.

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

⁷And Samson said to them, If ye act thus, for a certainty I will avenge myself on you, and then I will cease.

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

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

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

⁹And the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.

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

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

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.'

¹¹Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the cliff Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? And what is this that thou hast done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.

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!'

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

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.

¹³And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we certainly shall not put thee to death. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the cliff.

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.

¹⁴When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and the cords that were on his arms became as threads of flax that are burned with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

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

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

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

¹⁶And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, a heap, two heaps, With the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

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

¹⁷And it came to pass when he had ended speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi.

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!'

¹⁸And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given by the hand of thy servant this great deliverance, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

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.

¹⁹And God clave the hallow rock which was in Lehi, and water came out of it. And he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.

²⁰Ja ta mõistis Iisraelile kohut vilistite ajal kakskümmend aastat.

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