Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
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，
2I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
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！」
3And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
3參孫 說：「這回我加害於 非利士 人不算有罪。」
4And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
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，
5And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch, that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards.
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。
6Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father.
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。
7But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
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。」
8And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam.
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。
9Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread.
9非利士 人上去安營在 猶大 ，布散在 利希 。
10And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us.
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。」
11Wherefore three thousand men of Juda, went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them.
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。」
12And they said to him, We are come to bind thee and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me, that you will not kill me.
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。」
13They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam.
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。
14Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as the flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed.
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。
15And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
15他見一塊未乾的驢腮骨，就伸手拾起來，用以擊殺一千人。
16And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses I have destroyed them, and have slain 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。
17And when he had ended these words singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone.
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 。
18Arid being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised.
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？」
19Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass, and waters issued out of it. And when he had drank them he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day.
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 。
20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
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。
