Samson se ženi Filistejkom
14 Samson je sišao u grad Timnu. Ondje je vidio jednu ženu Filistejku.
2 Kad se vratio, rekao je svome ocu i majci: »U Timni sam vidio jednu Filistejku. Dovedite je da mi bude žena.«
3 No otac i majka su mu rekli: »Zar ne možeš izabrati djevojku iz svog roda ili iz čitavoga našeg naroda? Zašto baš moraš tražiti ženu iz naroda Filistejaca?«
No Samson je rekao svome ocu: »Dovedite mi nju. Ona mi se sviđa.«
4 Samsonovi otac i majka nisu znali da je BOG želio da se tako dogodi. On je tražio priliku za sukob s Filistejcima koji su u to vrijeme vladali Izraelcima.
5 Tako je Samson otišao s ocem i majkom u grad Timnu. Došli su do vinograda pored Timne i Samson je nastavio sam dalje. Odjednom je pred njega iskočio mladi lav i zarikao. 6 Tada je BOŽJI duh snažno obuzeo Samsona. Golim je rukama raskomadao lava, kao da je kozlić. No svojim roditeljima nije rekao što je učinio. 7 Sišao je potom u grad i razgovarao s onom ženom. Jako mu se sviđala.
8 Poslije nekoliko dana vratio se po ženu. Skrenuo je s puta da pogleda lešinu onog lava, a u lešini je bio roj pčela i med. 9 Rukama je zahvatio med i nastavio put, sladeći se. Kad je došao do svog oca i majke, dao im je med pa su i oni jeli. No nije im rekao da je med iz lavlje lešine.
10 Njegov je otac otišao u grad po onu ženu, a Samson je priredio gozbu. Bio je, naime, običaj da mladoženja priredi gozbu. 11 A Filistejci su poslali tridesetoricu ljudi, da budu uz Samsona.
12 Samson je rekao tim ljudima: »Imam jednu zagonetku za vas. Ako je uspijete riješiti tijekom sedam dana gozbe, dat ću vam trideset lanenih košulja i trideset svečanih odora. 13 No, ako je ne uspijete riješiti, onda ćete vi meni dati trideset lanenih košulja i trideset svečanih odora.«
»Reci nam zagonetku«, rekli su oni. »Da čujemo.«
14 I on im je rekao:
»Iz žderača, izašlo je jelo,
iz žestokoga, izašlo je slatko.«
Prošla su tri dana, a oni nisu mogli riješiti zagonetku. 15 Četvrtog su dana[a] rekli Samsonovoj ženi: »Izvuci od muža rješenje zagonetke pa nam je reci. Ako to ne učiniš, zapalit ćemo i tebe i kuću tvog oca. Zar ste nas pozvali da nas osiromašite?«
16 Samsonova je žena plakala pred mužem. Govorila mu je: »Ti me mrziš! Ne voliš me! Mojim si sunarodnjacima dao zagonetku, a meni nisi rekao rješenje.«
»Rješenje nisam rekao ni svome ocu ni majci«, odgovorio je on. »Zašto bih rekao tebi?«
17 Plakala je pred njim do sedmog dana, do kraja gozbe. Silno je navaljivala. Sedmog joj je dana rekao rješenje zagonetke, a ona ga je otkrila svojim sunarodnjacima.
18 Sedmog dana, prije nego što je sunce zašlo, ljudi iz onoga grada rekli su Samsonu:
»Ima li što slađe od meda?
Ima li tko žešći od lava?«
A on im je odgovorio:
»Da niste s mojom junicom orali,
moju zagonetku ne biste riješili.«
19 Tada se na Samsona spustio BOŽJI duh. Otišao je u grad Aškelon i ondje ubio tridesetoricu Filistejaca. Uzeo je njihovu odjeću i dao je onima koji su riješili zagonetku. Bijesan, vratio se u kuću svog oca, 20 a njegovu su ženu dali jednome od pratilaca, koji mu je na svadbi bio kum.

Si Samson ay Nag-asawa ng Babaing Filisteo
14 Lumusong si Samson sa Timna, at sa Timna ay nakita niya ang isa sa mga anak na babae ng mga Filisteo.
2 At siya'y umahon at sinabi sa kanyang ama at ina, “Nakita ko ang isa sa mga anak na babae ng mga Filisteo sa Timna. Kunin ninyo siya ngayon upang mapangasawa ko.”
3 Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ama at ina, “Wala na bang babae sa mga anak ng iyong kapatid, o sa ating buong bayan, na ikaw ay hahayo upang kumuha ng asawa mula sa mga di-tuling Filisteo?” At sinabi ni Samson sa kanyang ama, “Kunin ninyo siya para sa akin, sapagkat siya'y kaakit-akit sa akin.”
4 Ngunit hindi alam ng kanyang ama at ng kanyang ina, na iyon ay mula sa Panginoon; sapagkat siya'y humahanap ng pagkakataon laban sa mga Filisteo. Nang panahong iyon ay nangingibabaw ang mga Filisteo sa mga Israelita.
Si Samson ay Pumatay ng Leon
5 Pagkatapos si Samson at ang kanyang ama at ina ay lumusong sa Timna. Nang siya'y dumating sa mga ubasan ng Timna, may isang batang leon na umuungal laban sa kanya.
6 Ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang lumukob sa kanya, at niluray niya ng kanyang kamay lamang ang leon na parang lumuluray ng isang batang kambing. Ngunit hindi niya sinabi sa kanyang ama o sa kanyang ina kung ano ang kanyang ginawa.
7 Pagkatapos siya'y lumusong at nakipag-usap sa babae, at siya'y lubhang nakakalugod kay Samson.
8 Pagkaraan ng ilang panahon ay bumalik siya upang pakasalan ang babae, at siya'y lumiko upang tingnan ang bangkay ng leon. May isang kawan ng pukyutan at may pulot sa loob ng katawan ng leon.
9 Dinukot niya ito ng kanyang kamay at humayo na kumakain habang siya'y lumalakad. Siya'y pumunta sa kanyang ama at ina, at sila'y binigyan niya nito, at sila'y kumain nito. Ngunit hindi niya sinabi sa kanila na kanyang kinuha ang pulot sa bangkay ng leon.
Ang Bugtong ni Samson sa Kasalan
10 Pinuntahan ng kanyang ama ang babae, at gumawa si Samson ng isang handaan doon gaya nang nakaugaliang gawin ng mga binata.
11 Nang makita ng mga tao si Samson, sila'y nagdala ng tatlumpung kasama upang maging kasama niya.
12 At sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, “Bubugtungan ko kayo ngayon. Kung masasagot at mahuhulaan ninyo sa akin sa loob ng pitong araw ng handaan, at inyong mahulaan, bibigyan ko kayo ng tatlumpung kasuotang lino at tatlumpung magarang bihisan.
13 Ngunit kung hindi ninyo masasagot sa akin, ay bibigyan ninyo ako ng tatlumpung kasuotang lino at tatlumpung magarang bihisan.” At kanilang sinabi sa kanya, “Sabihin mo ang iyong bugtong upang aming marinig.”
14 At sinabi niya sa kanila,
“Mula sa mangangain ay may lumabas na pagkain,
mula sa malakas ay may lumabas na matamis.”
Ngunit hindi nila masagot ang bugtong sa loob ng tatlong araw.
15 Nang ikapitong araw ay kanilang sinabi sa asawa ni Samson, “Hikayatin mo ang iyong asawa, upang sabihin niya sa amin ang bugtong. Kapag hindi ay susunugin ka namin at ang bahay ng iyong ama. Inanyayahan ba ninyo kami upang papaghirapin?”
16 At umiyak ang asawa ni Samson sa harapan niya, at nagsabi, “Kinapopootan mo lamang ako, at hindi mo ako iniibig. Nagbigay ka ng isang bugtong sa aking mga kababayan, at hindi mo sinabi sa akin kung ano iyon.” At sinabi niya sa kanya, “Hindi ko nga sinabi sa aking ama, o sa aking ina, sa iyo ko pa kaya sasabihin?”
17 Umiyak siya sa harap niya ng pitong araw, habang hindi natatapos ang kanilang kasayahan. Nang ikapitong araw ay sinabi niya sa kanya, sapagkat kanyang pinilit siya. Pagkatapos ay sinabi ng babae ang sagot sa bugtong sa kanyang mga kababayan.
18 Nang ikapitong araw, bago lumubog ang araw, sinabi ng mga lalaki ng lunsod kay Samson,
“Ano kaya ang lalong matamis kaysa pulot?
Ano pa kaya ang lalong malakas kaysa leon?”
At sinabi niya sa kanila,
“Kung hindi kayo nag-araro sa pamamagitan ng aking dumalagang baka,
hindi sana ninyo nasagot ang aking bugtong.”
19 At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang lumukob sa kanya at siya'y lumusong sa Ascalon. Pumatay siya ng tatlumpung lalaki sa kanila, at kinuha ang kanilang samsam, at ibinigay ang magagarang bihisan sa mga nakapagpaliwanag ng bugtong. Ang kanyang galit ay nagningas, at siya'y umahon sa bahay ng kanyang ama.
20 Ngunit ang asawa ni Samson ay ibinigay sa kanyang kasamahan, na kanyang naging pangunahing abay.

Samson’s Marriage
14 Samson went down to Timnah and at Timnah he saw a woman, one of the daughters of the Philistines. 2 So he went back and told his father and his mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now get her for me as a wife.” 3 But his father and mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised (pagan) Philistines?” And Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, because she [a]looks pleasing to me.” 4 His father and mother did not know that it was of the Lord, and that He was seeking an occasion [to take action] against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother [to arrange the marriage], and they came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and [b]suddenly, a young lion came roaring toward him. 6 The Spirit of the Lord came upon him mightily, and he tore the lion apart as one tears apart a young goat, and he had nothing at all in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done. 7 So he went down and talked with the woman; and she looked pleasing to Samson. 8 When he returned later to take her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the body of the lion. 9 So he scraped the honey out into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave them some, and they ate it; but he did not tell them he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson prepared a feast there, for that was the customary thing for young men to do. 11 When the people saw him, they brought thirty companions (wedding attendants) to be with him.
Samson’s Riddle
12 Then Samson said to them, “Let me now ask you a riddle; if you can tell me what it is within the seven days of the feast, and solve it, then I will give you thirty linen tunics (undergarments) and thirty changes of [outer] clothing. 13 But if you are unable to tell me [the answer], then you shall give me thirty linen tunics (undergarments) and thirty changes of [outer] clothing.” And they said to him, “Ask your riddle, so that we may hear it.” 14 So he said to them,
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.”
And they could not solve the riddle in three days.
15 Then on the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife, “Persuade your husband to tell us [through you] the [answer to the] riddle, or we will burn you and your father’s household with fire. Have you invited us to make us poor? Is this not true?” 16 So Samson’s wife wept before him and said, “You only hate me, you do not love me; you have asked my countrymen a riddle, and have not told [the answer] to me.” And he said to her, “Listen, I have not told my father or my mother [either], so [why] should I tell you?” 17 However Samson’s wife wept before him seven days while their [wedding] feast lasted, and on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. Then she told the [answer to the] riddle to her countrymen. 18 So the men of the city said to Samson on the seventh day before sundown,
“What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?”
And he said to them,
“If you had not plowed with [c]my heifer,
You would not have solved my riddle.”
19 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of them and took their gear, and gave changes of clothes to those who had explained the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house. 20 But Samson’s wife was given to his [d]companion who had been his friend.

Samson’s Marriage
14 Samson(A) went down to Timnah(B) and saw there a young Philistine woman. 2 When he returned, he said to his father and mother, “I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife.”(C)
3 His father and mother replied, “Isn’t there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people?(D) Must you go to the uncircumcised(E) Philistines to get a wife?(F)”
But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the right one for me.” 4 (His parents did not know that this was from the Lord,(G) who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines;(H) for at that time they were ruling over Israel.)(I)
5 Samson went down to Timnah together with his father and mother. As they approached the vineyards of Timnah, suddenly a young lion came roaring toward him. 6 The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him(J) so that he tore the lion apart(K) with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. 7 Then he went down and talked with the woman, and he liked her.
8 Some time later, when he went back to marry her, he turned aside to look at the lion’s carcass, and in it he saw a swarm of bees and some honey. 9 He scooped out the honey with his hands and ate as he went along. When he rejoined his parents, he gave them some, and they too ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
10 Now his father went down to see the woman. And there Samson held a feast,(L) as was customary for young men. 11 When the people saw him, they chose thirty men to be his companions.
12 “Let me tell you a riddle,(M)” Samson said to them. “If you can give me the answer within the seven days of the feast,(N) I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.(O) 13 If you can’t tell me the answer, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.”
“Tell us your riddle,” they said. “Let’s hear it.”
14 He replied,
“Out of the eater, something to eat;
out of the strong, something sweet.”(P)
For three days they could not give the answer.
15 On the fourth[a] day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Coax(Q) your husband into explaining the riddle for us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death.(R) Did you invite us here to steal our property?”
16 Then Samson’s wife threw herself on him, sobbing, “You hate me! You don’t really love me.(S) You’ve given my people a riddle, but you haven’t told me the answer.”
“I haven’t even explained it to my father or mother,” he replied, “so why should I explain it to you?” 17 She cried the whole seven days(T) of the feast. So on the seventh day he finally told her, because she continued to press him. She in turn explained the riddle to her people.
18 Before sunset on the seventh day the men of the town said to him,
“What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?”(U)
Samson said to them,
“If you had not plowed with my heifer,
you would not have solved my riddle.”
19 Then the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him.(V) He went down to Ashkelon,(W) struck down thirty of their men, stripped them of everything and gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger,(X) he returned to his father’s home. 20 And Samson’s wife was given to one of his companions(Y) who had attended him at the feast.
