士師記 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1過了些日子，到割麥子的時候， 參孫 帶着一隻山羊羔去看他的妻，說：「我要進內室見我的妻。」他岳父不容他進去，
1Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.
2說：「我估定你是極其恨她，因此我將她給了你的陪伴。她的妹子不是比她還美麗嗎？你可以娶來代替她吧！」
2“I was sure that you thoroughly hated her,” said her father, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her instead.”
3參孫 說：「這回我加害於 非利士 人不算有罪。」
3Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
4於是 參孫 去捉了三百隻狐狸，將狐狸尾巴一對一對地捆上，將火把捆在兩條尾巴中間，
4Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he took torches, turned the foxes tail-to-tail, and fastened a torch between each pair of tails.
5點着火把，就放狐狸進入 非利士 人站着的禾稼，將堆集的禾捆和未割的禾稼，並橄欖園盡都燒了。
5Then he lit the torches and released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, burning up the piles of grain and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
6非利士 人說：「這事是誰做的呢？」有人說：「是 亭拿 人的女婿 參孫 ，因為他岳父將他的妻給了他的陪伴。」於是 非利士 人上去，用火燒了婦人和她的父親。
6“Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.
7參孫 對 非利士 人說：「你們既然這樣行，我必向你們報仇才肯罷休。」
7And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
8參孫 就大大擊殺他們，連腿帶腰都砍斷了。他便下去，住在 以坦 磐的穴內。
8And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
9非利士 人上去安營在 猶大 ，布散在 利希 。
9Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
10猶大 人說：「你們為何上來攻擊我們呢？」他們說：「我們上來是要捆綁 參孫 ；他向我們怎樣行，我們也要向他怎樣行。」
10“Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
11於是有三千 猶大 人下到 以坦 磐的穴內，對 參孫 說：「 非利士 人轄制我們，你不知道嗎？你向我們行的是甚麼事呢？」他回答說：「他們向我怎樣行，我也要向他們怎樣行。」
11In response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked Samson, “Do you not realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
12猶大 人對他說：「我們下來是要捆綁你，將你交在 非利士 人手中。」 參孫 說：「你們要向我起誓，應承你們自己不害死我。」
12But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
13他們說：「我們斷不殺你，只要將你捆綁交在 非利士 人手中。」於是用兩條新繩捆綁 參孫 ，將他從 以坦 磐帶上去。
13“No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
14參孫 到了 利希 ， 非利士 人都迎着喧嚷。耶和華的靈大大感動 參孫 ，他臂上的繩就像火燒的麻一樣，他的綁繩都從他手上脫落下來。
14When Samson arrived in Lehi, the Philistines came out shouting against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and the bonds broke loose from his hands.
15他見一塊未乾的驢腮骨，就伸手拾起來，用以擊殺一千人。
15He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
16參孫 說： 我用驢腮骨殺人成堆， 用驢腮骨殺了一千人。
16Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps. With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”
17說完這話，就把那腮骨從手裏拋出去了。那地便叫 拉末‧利希 。
17And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.
18參孫 甚覺口渴，就求告耶和華說：「你既藉僕人的手施行這麼大的拯救，豈可任我渴死、落在未受割禮的人手中呢？」
18And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
19上帝就使 利希 的窪處裂開，有水從其中湧出來。 參孫 喝了，精神復原；因此那泉名叫 隱‧哈歌利 ，那泉直到今日還在 利希 。
19So God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore, and it remains in Lehi to this day.
20當 非利士 人轄制 以色列 人的時候， 參孫 作 以色列 的士師二十年。
20And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
