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:
1А после неколико дана, о пшеничној жетви, дође Самсон да походи жену своју донесавши јој јаре, и рече: Идем к жени својој у ложницу. Али му отац њен не даде да уђе.
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.
2Јер рече отац њен: Ја мишљах зацело да ти није по вољи, па је дадох другу твом; него млађа сестра њена није ли лепша од ње? Узми њу место оне.
3And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
3А Самсон им рече: Ја нећу бити крив Филистејима кад им учиним зло.
4And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
4И отишавши Самсон ухвати триста лисица, и узе луча, и свеза по две у репове, и метну по један луч међу два репа.
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.
5Па запали лучеве, и пусти у летину филистејску, и попали летину пожњевену и непожњевену, и винограде и маслинике.
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.
6Тада Филистеји рекоше: Ко је то учинио? И одговорише: Самсон зет Тамнаћанинов, јер му узе жену и даде је другу његовом. Тада дођоше Филистеји и спалише огњем њу и оца њеног.
7But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.
7А Самсон им рече: Ако сте и учинили тако, опет ћу вам се осветити, па ћу се онда оканити.
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.
8И поломи их љуто ногама по бедрима: Потом отиде и настани се у пећини од стене Итама
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.
9Тада изиђоше Филистеји и стадоше у логор према Јуди, и раширише се до Лехије.
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.
10А људи од Јуде рекоше: Што сте изашли на нас? И одговорише: Изашли смо да свежемо Самсона и да му учинимо како је он нама учинио.
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.
11Тада изиђе три хиљаде људи из Јуде к пећини у стени Итаму, и рекоше Самсону: Не знаш ли да Филистеји владају над нама? А он им рече: Како су они мени учинили тако ја учиних њима.
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.
12Они му рекоше: Дошли смо да те свежемо и предамо у руке Филистејима. А Самсон им рече: Закуните ми се да нећете ви уложити на ме.
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.
13Они му одговорише и рекоше: Нећемо; него ћемо те само свезати и предати у њихове руке, али те нећемо погубити. И свезаше га у два нова ужа и одведоше га из стене.
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.
14И кад он дође до Лехије, Филистеји га сретоше вичући од радости; а Дух Господњи сиђе на њ, и ужа на рукама његовим посташе као конци изгорели од ватре, и спадоше свезе с руку његових.
15And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.
15И он нађе чељуст магарећу још сирову, и пруживши руку своју узе је, и поби њом хиљаду људи.
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.
16Потом рече Самсон: Чељушћу магарећом једну гомилу, две гомиле, чељушћу магарећом побих хиљаду људи.
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.
17А кад изрече, баци чељуст из руке своје, и назва оно место Рамат-Лехија.
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.
18И беше жедан јако, те завапи ка Господу и рече: Ти си учинио руком слуге свог ово избављење велико; а сад хоћу ли умрети од жеђи, или ћу пасти у руке необрезанима?
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.
19Тада Бог расцепи стену у Лехији, и потече вода из ње, те се напи, и поврати му се дух и оживе. Зато се прозва онај извор Ен-Акоре, који је у Лехији до данашњег дана.
20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
20И би судија Израиљу за времена филистејског двадесет година.
