士师记 14
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1参孙 下到 亭拿 ，在那里看见一个女子，是 非利士 人的女儿。
1Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines,
2参孙 上来禀告他父母说：「我在 亭拿 看见一个女子，是 非利士 人的女儿，愿你们给我娶来为妻。」
2He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife.
3他父母说：「在你弟兄的女儿中，或在本国的民中，岂没有一个女子，何至你去在未受割礼的 非利士 人中娶妻呢？」 参孙 对他父亲说：「愿你给我娶那女子，因我喜悦她。」
3And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me, for she hath pleased my eyes.
4他的父母却不知道这事是出于耶和华，因为他找机会攻击 非利士 人。那时， 非利士 人辖制 以色列 人。
4Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5参孙 跟他父母下 亭拿 去，到了 亭拿 的葡萄园，见有一只少壮狮子向他吼叫。
5Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him raging and roaring.
6耶和华的灵大大感动 参孙 ，他虽然手无器械，却将狮子撕裂，如同撕裂山羊羔一样。他行这事并没有告诉父母。
6And the spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother.
7参孙 下去与女子说话，就喜悦她；
7And he went down and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes.
8过了些日子，再下去要娶那女子，转向道旁要看死狮，见有一群蜂子和蜜在死狮之内，
8And after some days returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion and a honeycomb.
9就用手取蜜，且吃且走；到了父母那里，给他父母，他们也吃了；只是没有告诉这蜜是从死狮之内取来的。
9And when be had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them, that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
10他父亲下去见女子。 参孙 在那里设摆筵宴，因为向来少年人都有这个规矩。
10So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do.
11众人看见 参孙 ，就请了三十个人陪伴他。
11And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him.
12参孙 对他们说：「我给你们出一个谜语，你们在七日筵宴之内，若能猜出意思告诉我，我就给你们三十件里衣，三十套衣裳；
12And Samson said to them: I will propose to you a riddle, which if you declare unto me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts, and as many coats:
13你们若不能猜出意思告诉我，你们就给我三十件里衣，三十套衣裳。」他们说：「请将谜语说给我们听。」
13But if you shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle that we may hear it.
14参孙 对他们说： 吃的从吃者出来； 甜的从强者出来。 他们三日不能猜出谜语的意思。
14And he said to them: Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15到第七天，他们对 参孙 的妻说：「你诓哄你丈夫，探出谜语的意思告诉我们，免得我们用火烧你和你父家。你们请了我们来，是要夺我们所有的吗？」
15And when the seventh day came, they said to the wife of Samson: Soothe thy husband, and persuade him to tell thee what the riddle meaneth. But if thou wilt not do it, we will burn thee, and thy father’s house. Have you called us to the wedding on purpose to strip us?
16参孙 的妻在丈夫面前啼哭说：「你是恨我，不是爱我，你给我本国的人出谜语，却没有将意思告诉我。」 参孙 回答说：「连我父母我都没有告诉，岂可告诉你呢？」
16So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother, and how can I tell it to thee?
17七日筵宴之内，她在丈夫面前啼哭，到第七天逼着他，他才将谜语的意思告诉他妻，他妻就告诉本国的人。
17So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and at length on the seventh day as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told her countrymen.
18到第七天，日头未落以前，那城里的人对 参孙 说： 有什么比蜜还甜呢？ 有什么比狮子还强呢？ 参孙 对他们说： 你们若非用我的母牛犊耕地， 就猜不出我谜语的意思来。
18And they on the seventh day before the sun went down said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.
19耶和华的灵大大感动 参孙 ，他就下到 亚实基伦 ，击杀了三十个人，夺了他们的衣裳，将 衣裳 给了猜出谜语的人。 参孙 发怒，就上父家去了。
19And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men, whose garments he took away and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry he went up to his father’s house:
20参孙 的妻便归了 参孙 的陪伴，就是作过他朋友的。
20But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband.
