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.
1Zgodi se pa za nekaj časa, v dneh pšenične žetve, da obišče Samson ženo svojo in ji prinese kozliča. In reče: Pojdem noter k ženi svoji v stanico. A ni mu dovolil njen oče vstopiti.
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.”
2In reče oče njen: Res sem mislil, da si ji postal sovražen, in sem jo dal tovarišu tvojemu. Ni li mlajša sestra njena lepša nego ona? Ta bodi tvoja namesto one.
3Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them.”
3Nato jim reče Samson: Sedaj pa ne bodem kriv proti Filistejcem, ako jim bom škodo delal.
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.
4In Samson odide in ulovi tristo lisic in vzame bakle in zveže po dve in dve za repe ter dene vselej baklo med dva repa
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.
5in jih prižge z ognjem, in jih pusti v žito Filistejcev in požge tako snopje in še rastoče žito in tudi olivnike.
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.
6Tedaj reko Filistejci: Kdo je to storil? In odgovore: Samson, zet Timnatejca, ker mu je vzel ženo in jo dal njegovemu tovarišu. In Filistejci pridejo ter sežgo njo in očeta njenega z ognjem.
7Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.”
7In Samson jim reče: Če tako delate, gotovo ne neham, dokler se ne maščujem nad vami!
8He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
8In jim razbije pleča in ledja s hudimi udarci. Potem gre dol in prebiva v skalni razpoki v Etamu.
9Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
9Tedaj pridero Filistejci gori in se ušatore na Judovem in se razprostro v Lehi.
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.”
10Možje Judovi pa reko: Zakaj ste prišli gori zoper nas? Odgovore: Prišli smo zvezat Samsona, da mu storimo, kakor je storil nam.
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.”
11Nato gre tri tisoč mož iz Jude doli k skalni razpoki v Etamu, in reko Samsonu: Ali ne veš, da nam vladajo Filistejci? Kaj je torej to, kar si nam storil? In jim reče: Kakor so oni storili meni, tako sem storil njim.
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.”
12Reko mu: Prišli smo doli te zvezat in izdat Filistejcem v roke. Samson jim veli: Prisezite mi, da me vi ne ubijete!
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.
13Odgovore mu, rekoč: Nikar, hočemo te le zvezati in te njim dati v roke; res te ne umorimo. In so ga zvezali z dvema novima vrvema in ga peljali gori od skale.
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.
14Ko pride v Leho, zavriskajo Filistejci in mu gredo naproti. A duh GOSPODOV pride z močjo nad njega, in vrvi na rokah njegovih postanejo kakor niti, ko jih ogenj osmodi, in vezila njegova padejo z rok njegovih.
15He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and struck a thousand men therewith.
15In najde čeljust oslovsko, še sirovo, ter iztegne roko in jo pobere in pobije ž njo tisoč mož.
16Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
16In Samson reče: Z oslovsko čeljustjo sem naredil eno kopo, dve kopi, z oslovsko čeljustjo sem pobil tisoč mož.
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.
17In ko je to izrekel, vrže čeljust iz roke, in tisti kraj imenuje Ramat-lehi [T. j. Grič čeljusti.].
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?”
18Bil pa je silno žejen, in kliče h GOSPODU in reče: Ti si dal tako veliko rešitev po roki hlapca svojega, in sedaj da bi umrl žeje in padel neobrezancem v roke!
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.
19Tedaj razkolje Bog votlino, ki je v Lehi, in priteče voda iz nje; in ko se napije, se mu povrne duh in oživi. Zatorej so jo imenovali Studenec kličočega, ki je v Lehi do današnjega dne.In on je sodil Izraela za časa Filistejcev dvajset let.
20He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
20In on je sodil Izraela za časa Filistejcev dvajset let.
