14:1
|
参孙下到亭拿，在那里看见一个女子，是非利士人的女儿。
|
|
|
And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
|
|
14:2
|
参孙上来禀告他父母说：「我在亭拿看见一个女子，是非利士人的女儿，愿你们给我娶来为妻。」
|
|
|
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
|
|
14:3
|
他父母说：「在你弟兄的女儿中，或在本国的民中，岂没有一个女子，何至你去在未受割礼的非利士人中娶妻呢？」参孙对他父亲说：「愿你给我娶那女子，因我喜悦他。」
|
|
|
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
|
|
14:4
|
他的父母却不知道这事是出于耶和华，因为他找机会攻击非利士人。那时，非利士人辖制以色列人。
|
|
|
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
|
|
14:5
|
参孙跟他父母下亭拿去，到了亭拿的葡萄园，见有一只少壮狮子向他吼叫。
|
|
|
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
|
|
14:6
|
耶和华的灵大大感动参孙，他虽然手无器械，却将狮子撕裂，如同撕裂山羊羔一样。他行这事并没有告诉父母。
|
|
|
And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
|
|
14:7
|
参孙下去与女子说话，就喜悦他；
|
|
|
And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
|
|
14:8
|
过了些日子，再下去要娶那女子，转向道旁要看死狮，见有一群蜂子和蜜在死狮之内，
|
|
|
And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
|
|
14:9
|
就用手取蜜，且吃且走；到了父母那里，给他父母，他们也吃了；只是没有告诉这蜜是从死狮之内取来的。
|
|
|
And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
|
|
14:10
|
他父亲下去见女子。参孙在那里设摆筵宴，因为向来少年人都有这个规矩。
|
|
|
And his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
|
|
14:11
|
众人看见参孙，就请了三十个人陪伴他。
|
|
|
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
|
|
14:12
|
参孙对他们说：「我给你们出一个谜语，你们在七日筵宴之内，若能猜出意思告诉我，我就给你们三十件里衣，三十套衣裳；
|
|
|
And Samson said unto them, Let me now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can declare it unto me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;
|
|
14:13
|
你们若不能猜出意思告诉我，你们就给我三十件里衣，三十套衣裳。」他们说：「请将谜语说给我们听。」
|
|
|
but if ye cannot declare it unto me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
|
|
14:14
|
参孙对他们说：吃的从吃者出来；甜的从强者出来。他们三日不能猜出谜语的意思。
|
|
|
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, And out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
|
|
14:15
|
到第七天，他们对参孙的妻说：「你诓哄你丈夫，探出谜语的意思告诉我们，免得我们用火烧你和你父家。你们请了我们来，是要夺我们所有的吗？」
|
|
|
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson`s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father`s house with fire: have ye called us to impoverish us? is it not [so]?
|
|
14:16
|
参孙的妻在丈夫面前啼哭说：「你是恨我，不是爱我，你给我本国的人出谜语，却没有将意思告诉我。」参孙回答说：「连我父母我都没有告诉，岂可告诉你呢？」
|
|
|
And Samson`s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?
|
|
14:17
|
七日筵宴之内，他在丈夫面前啼哭，到第七天逼着他，他才将谜语的意思告诉他妻，他妻就告诉本国的人。
|
|
|
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
|
|
14:18
|
到第七天，日头未落以前，那城里的人对参孙说：有什么比蜜还甜呢？有什么比狮子还强呢？参孙对他们说：你们若非用我的母牛犊耕地，就猜不出我谜语的意思来。
|
|
|
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.
|
|
14:19
|
耶和华的灵大大感动参孙，他就下到亚实基伦，击杀了三十个人，夺了他们的衣裳，将衣裳给了猜出谜语的人。参孙发怒，就上父家去了。
|
|
|
And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [of raiment] unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father`s house.
|
|
14:20
|
参孙的妻便归了参孙的陪伴，就是作过他朋友的。
|
|
|
But Samson`s wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
