Simson rächt sich an den Philistern
15 Einige Zeit später, als man gerade den Weizen erntete, wollte Simson seine Frau besuchen. Als Geschenk hatte er ihr einen jungen Ziegenbock mitgebracht. Er bat ihren Vater: »Lass mich zu meiner Frau ins Zimmer!« Doch der Vater verweigerte es ihm: 2 »Das geht nicht! Ich habe sie dem Brautführer zur Frau gegeben. Glaub mir, ich habe wirklich gedacht, dass sie dir nichts mehr bedeutet. Heirate doch ihre jüngere Schwester! Sie ist sogar noch schöner!«
3 »Das werde ich euch Philistern heimzahlen!«, rief Simson. »Und diesmal bin ich wirklich im Recht!« 4 Er zog los, fing dreihundert Füchse, band sie paarweise an den Schwänzen zusammen und befestigte Fackeln daran. 5 Dann zündete er die Fackeln an und jagte die Tiere in die Felder der Philister. Sie setzten das Getreide auf den Äckern, die Garbenhaufen, die Weinberge und die Olivengärten in Brand.
6 Die Philister fragten: »Wer hat das getan?« Und bald fand man heraus: »Es war Simson! Sein Schwiegervater in Timna hat ihm die Frau weggenommen und sie seinem Brautführer gegeben.« Die Philister zogen nach Timna und verbrannten die Frau und ihren Vater. 7 Da ging Simson zu ihnen und rief: »Was habt ihr getan! Das schreit nach Rache! Jetzt werde ich euch nicht mehr verschonen!« 8 Er schlug auf die Philister ein, bis sie alle am Boden lagen. Dann ging er zum Berg Etam und lebte dort eine Zeit lang in einer Höhle im Felsen.
Simson kämpft gegen die Philister
9 Die Philister marschierten mit ihrem Heer ins Stammesgebiet von Juda ein und schlugen ihr Lager bei Lehi auf. 10 Die Bewohner von Juda fragten: »Warum zieht ihr gegen uns in den Krieg?« »Wir wollen Simson gefangen nehmen«, erwiderten die Philister. »Wir haben mit ihm eine Rechnung zu begleichen.«
11 Da gingen dreitausend Judäer zu der Höhle am Berg Etam und stellten Simson zur Rede: »Warum hast du uns das angetan? Du weißt doch, dass die Philister uns beherrschen!« »Ich habe ihnen nur mit gleicher Münze heimgezahlt, was sie mir angetan haben«, antwortete er.
12 Die Männer von Juda erwiderten: »Wir sind hergekommen, um dich zu fesseln und den Philistern auszuliefern.« »Schwört mir, dass ihr mich nicht umbringt!«, bat Simson. 13 Sie versprachen: »Wir wollen dich wirklich nur fesseln und ausliefern. Auf keinen Fall werden wir dich töten!« Nun ließ er sich von ihnen mit zwei neuen Stricken binden, aus der Höhle herausführen und nach Lehi bringen.
14 Als die Philister Simson sahen, stimmten sie ein Triumphgeschrei an. Da wurde er vom Geist des Herrn ergriffen. Er zerriss die Stricke an seinen Armen, als wären sie angesengte Bindfäden. 15 Dann entdeckte er den Unterkieferknochen eines Esels, packte ihn und erschlug damit tausend Philister.
16 »Mit dem Kiefer des Esels mähte ich sie nieder!«, rief er. »Mit dem Kiefer des Esels schlug ich tausend Mann!« 17 Danach warf er den Knochen weg. Seither heißt der Ort, an dem dies geschehen ist, Ramat-Lehi (»Kinnbacken-Höhe«).
18 Simson hatte großen Durst. Er betete zum Herrn: »Ich habe für dich gekämpft, und du hast mir diesen großen Sieg geschenkt! Aber jetzt muss ich verdursten und werde doch noch diesen unbeschnittenen Heiden in die Hände fallen!« 19 Da ließ Gott aus einer Bodensenke in der Nähe von Lehi Wasser hervorbrechen. Simson trank davon und kam wieder zu Kräften. Man nennt die Quelle daher En-Hakore (»Quelle des Rufenden«); sie ist noch heute dort.
20 Zwanzig Jahre lang führte Simson das Volk Israel, während die Philister das Land beherrschten.

Sinunog ni Samson ang trigohan ng mga Filisteo.
15 Nguni't nangyari pagkatapos ng sangdaling panahon, sa panahon ng pagaani ng trigo, na dumalaw si Samson na may dalang isang anak ng (A)kambing sa kaniyang asawa; at kaniyang sinabi, Aking papasukin ang aking asawa sa loob ng silid. Nguni't ayaw papasukin siya ng kaniyang biyanang lalake.
2 At sinabi ng kaniyang biyanang lalake, Aking tunay na inisip na iyong lubos na kinapootan siya; kaya't aking ibinigay siya sa iyong kasama: di ba ang kaniyang kapatid na bata ay maganda kay sa kaniya? Isinasamo ko sa iyo na kunin mong kahalili niya.
3 At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Ngayon ay wala akong ipagkakasala sa mga Filisteo, kung gawan ko man sila ng kasamaan.
4 At yumaon si Samson at humuli ng tatlong daang zorra at kumuha ng mga sigsig at pinag-kabitkabit ang mga buntot, at nilagyan ng isang (B)sigsig sa gitna ng pagitan ng bawa't dalawang buntot.
5 At nang kaniyang masulsulan ang mga sigsig, ay kaniyang binitiwan sa nakatayong trigo ng mga Filisteo at (C)sinunog kapuwa ang mga mangdala at ang nakatayong trigo, at gayon din ang mga olibohan.
6 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng mga Filisteo, Sinong gumawa nito? At kanilang sinabi, Si Samson na manugang ni Timnateo, sapagka't kaniyang kinuha ang asawa niya at ibinigay sa kaniyang kasama. (D)At sumampa ang mga Filisteo, at sinunog ang babae at ang kaniyang ama.
7 At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Kung ginawa ninyo ang ganito ay walang pagsalang aking igaganti sa inyo; at pagkatapos ay magtitigil ako.
8 At sinaktan niya sila, sa hita at sasapnan ng di kawasang pagpatay: at siya'y bumaba at tumahan sa isang (E)guwang ng bato ng Etam.
Dalawang bagong lubid ang iginapos kay Samson.
9 Nang magkagayo'y nagsisampa ang mga Filisteo, at humantong sa Juda, at (F)nagsikalat sa (G)Lehi.
10 At sinabi ng mga lalake sa Juda, Bakit kayo nagsisampa laban sa amin? At kanilang sinabi, Upang gapusin si Samson kung kaya't kami ay nagsisampa upang gawin sa kaniya ang gaya ng ginawa niya sa amin.
11 Nang magkagayo'y ang tatlong libong lalake sa Juda ay nagsilusong sa guwang ng bato ng Etam, at sinabi kay Samson, Hindi mo ba nalalaman na ang mga Filisteo ay (H)nagpupuno sa atin? ano nga itong ginawa mo sa amin? At sinabi niya sa kanila, Kung paano ang ginawa nila sa akin ay gayon ang ginawa ko sa kanila.
12 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Kami ay nagsilusong upang gapusin ka, upang maibigay ka namin sa kamay ng mga Filisteo. At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, Sumumpa kayo sa akin, na hindi kayo ang dadaluhong sa akin.
13 At sinalita nila sa kaniya, Hindi kundi gagapusin ka lamang namin, at ibibigay sa kanilang kamay: nguni't tunay na hindi ka namin papatayin. At kanilang ginapos siya ng dalawang bagong (I)lubid, at iniahon mula sa bato.
14 Nang siya'y dumating sa Lehi, ang mga Filisteo ay naghihiyawan samantalang sinasalubong nila siya: at ang (J)Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sumakaniya, at ang mga lubid na nasa kaniyang mga bisig ay naging parang lino na nasupok sa apoy, at ang kaniyang mga tali ay nalaglag sa kaniyang mga kamay.
15 At siya'y nakasumpong ng isang bagong panga ng asno, at iniunat ang kaniyang kamay, at kinuha, (K)at ipinanakit sa isang libong lalake.
16 At sinabi ni Samson,
Sa pamamagitan ng panga ng isang asno, ay nagkabuntonbunton,
Sa pamamagitan ng panga ng isang asno ay nanakit ako ng isang libong lalake.
17 At nangyari, pagkatapos niyang makapagsalita, na kaniyang inihagis ang panga na nasa kaniyang kamay, at ang dakong yao'y tinawag na Ramath-lehi.
18 At siya'y nauhaw na mainam at tumawag sa Panginoon, at sinabi, Iyong ibinigay itong dakilang kaligtasan sa kamay ng iyong lingkod: at ngayo'y mamamatay ako dahil sa uhaw at mahuhulog sa kamay ng mga hindi tuli.
19 Nguni't binuksan ng Dios ang isang guwang na nasa Lehi, at nilabasan ng tubig yaon; at nang siya'y makainom, ang kaniyang diwa ay (L)nanumbalik, at siya'y nabuhay: kaya't ang pangalan niyaon ay tinawag na En-haccore, na nasa Lehi hanggang sa araw na ito.
20 (M)At siya'y naghukom sa Israel sa mga kaarawan ng mga Filisteo, ng dalawang pung taon.

Samson’s Vengeance on the Philistines
15 Later on, at the time of wheat harvest,(A) Samson(B) took a young goat(C) and went to visit his wife. He said, “I’m going to my wife’s room.”(D) But her father would not let him go in.
2 “I was so sure you hated her,” he said, “that I gave her to your companion.(E) Isn’t her younger sister more attractive? Take her instead.”
3 Samson said to them, “This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines; I will really harm them.” 4 So he went out and caught three hundred foxes(F) and tied them tail to tail in pairs. He then fastened a torch(G) to every pair of tails, 5 lit the torches(H) and let the foxes loose in the standing grain of the Philistines. He burned up the shocks(I) and standing grain, together with the vineyards and olive groves.
6 When the Philistines asked, “Who did this?” they were told, “Samson, the Timnite’s son-in-law, because his wife was given to his companion.(J)”
So the Philistines went up and burned her(K) and her father to death.(L) 7 Samson said to them, “Since you’ve acted like this, I swear that I won’t stop until I get my revenge on you.” 8 He attacked them viciously and slaughtered many of them. Then he went down and stayed in a cave in the rock(M) of Etam.(N)
9 The Philistines went up and camped in Judah, spreading out near Lehi.(O) 10 The people of Judah asked, “Why have you come to fight us?”
“We have come to take Samson prisoner,” they answered, “to do to him as he did to us.”
11 Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cave in the rock of Etam and said to Samson, “Don’t you realize that the Philistines are rulers over us?(P) What have you done to us?”
He answered, “I merely did to them what they did to me.”
12 They said to him, “We’ve come to tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines.”
Samson said, “Swear to me(Q) that you won’t kill me yourselves.”
13 “Agreed,” they answered. “We will only tie you up and hand you over to them. We will not kill you.” So they bound him with two new ropes(R) and led him up from the rock. 14 As he approached Lehi,(S) the Philistines came toward him shouting. The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him.(T) The ropes on his arms became like charred flax,(U) and the bindings dropped from his hands. 15 Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men.(V)
16 Then Samson said,
“With a donkey’s jawbone
I have made donkeys of them.[a](W)
With a donkey’s jawbone
I have killed a thousand men.”
17 When he finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone; and the place was called Ramath Lehi.[b](X)
18 Because he was very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord,(Y) “You have given your servant this great victory.(Z) Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 19 Then God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned and he revived.(AA) So the spring(AB) was called En Hakkore,[c] and it is still there in Lehi.
20 Samson led[d] Israel for twenty years(AC) in the days of the Philistines.
