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:
1Mas depois de algum tempo, na época da colheita do trigo, Sansão foi visitar a sua mulher, levando um cabrito. Ele disse: “Entrarei no quarto da minha mulher.” Mas o pai dela não permitiu que ele entrasse.
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.
2O pai dela disse: “Certamente pensei que você a odiasse completamente; por isso a dei ao seu companheiro. Por acaso a irmã mais nova não é mais bonita do que ela? Por favor, tome-a em seu lugar.”
3And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
3Sansão lhes disse: “Desta vez estarei sem culpa para com os filisteus quando lhes fizer mal.”
4And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
4Sansão foi, capturou trezentas raposas, pegou tochas, amarrou as raposas cauda com cauda, e colocou uma tocha no meio, entre cada duas caudas.
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.
5Depois de acender as tochas, ele soltou as raposas na seara dos filisteus, e incendiou tanto os feixes quanto o grão em pé, e também os olivais.
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.
6Então os filisteus perguntaram: “Quem fez isso?” Disseram-lhes: “Sansão, o genro do timnita, porque ele pegou a mulher dele e a deu ao seu companheiro.” Os filisteus subiram, e queimaram a ela e a seu pai com fogo.
7But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
7Sansão lhes disse: “Se vocês agem desta maneira, certamente me vingarei de vocês e, depois disso, pararei.”
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.
8Ele os feriu severamente, perna e coxa, com grande matança; e desceu e passou a viver na caverna da rocha de Etã.
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.
9Então os filisteus subiram, acamparam em Judá e se espalharam por Leí.
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.
10Os homens de Judá perguntaram: “Por que vocês subiram contra nós?” Eles responderam: “Subimos para amarrar Sansão, para fazer a ele como ele nos fez.”
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.
11Então três mil homens de Judá desceram até a caverna da rocha de Etã, e disseram a Sansão: “Você não sabe que os filisteus dominam sobre nós? O que foi isso que você nos fez?” Ele lhes respondeu: “Assim como eles me fizeram, eu lhes fiz.”
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.
12Eles lhe disseram: “Descemos para amarrar você, para podermos entregá-lo nas mãos dos filisteus.” Sansão lhes disse: “Jurem-me que vocês mesmos não me atacarão.”
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.
13Eles lhe disseram: “Não, mas nós o amarraremos firmemente e o entregaremos nas mãos deles; mas certamente não o mataremos.” Eles o amarraram com duas cordas novas, e o trouxeram para cima, da rocha.
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.
14Quando ele chegou a Leí, os filisteus vieram gritando ao encontro dele. Então o Espírito do SENHOR veio poderosamente sobre ele, e as cordas que estavam em seus braços tornaram-se como fios de linho queimados pelo fogo; e as suas amarras caíram das suas mãos.
15And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
15Ele encontrou uma queixada fresca de jumento, estendeu a mão, pegou-a e com ela feriu mil homens.
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.
16Sansão disse: “Com a queixada de um jumento, montões sobre montões; com a queixada de um jumento feri mil homens.”
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.
17Quando ele acabou de falar, jogou a queixada de sua mão; e aquele lugar foi chamado Ramate-Leí.
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.
18Ele estava com muita sede, clamou ao SENHOR e disse: “Tu concedeste este grande livramento pelas mãos do teu servo; e agora, morrerei eu de sede e cairei nas mãos dos incircuncisos?”
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.
19Mas Deus fendeu a cavidade que está em Leí, e dela saiu água. Quando ele bebeu, o seu espírito se renovou, e ele reviveu. Por isso a fonte foi chamada En-Hacoré, a qual está em Leí até o dia de hoje.
20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
20Ele julgou a Israel por vinte anos, nos dias dos filisteus.
