¹But it happened after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, “I will go in to my wife into the room.” But her father wouldn’t allow 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.

²Her father said, “I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her, instead.”

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!'

³Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them.”

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

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

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

⁵When he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.

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 has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion.” 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.

⁷Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will 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!'

⁸He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

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

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

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

¹⁰The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has 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 down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?” He said to them, “As they did to me, so have I done to 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.'

¹²They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not fall on 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!'

¹³They spoke to him, saying, “No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, 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.

¹⁴When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped 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.

¹⁵He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and struck a thousand men therewith.

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

¹⁶Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”

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

¹⁷It happened, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.

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

¹⁸He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh, and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your 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 split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to 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.

²⁰He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

²⁰Ja ta mõistis Iisraelile kohut vilistite ajal kakskümmend aastat.
