Judges 15

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And 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:	1 Και μετα τινα καιρον, εν ταις ημεραις του θερισμου του σιτου επεσκεφθη ο Σαμψων την γυναικα αυτου, φερων εριφιον εξ αιγων? και ειπε, Θελω εισελθει προς την γυναικα μου εις τον κοιτωνα. Αλλ' ο πατηρ αυτης δεν αφηκεν αυτον να εισελθη.
2 I 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.	2 Και ειπεν ο πατηρ αυτης, Ειπα κατ' εμαυτον οτι διολου εμισησας αυτην? δια τουτο εδωκα αυτην εις τον συντροφον σου? η μικροτερα αδελφη αυτης δεν ειναι ωραιοτερα αυτης; λαβε λοιπον αυτην αντ' εκεινης.
3 And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.	3 Ο δε Σαμψων ειπε περι αυτων, Τωρα θελω εισθαι αθωος προς τους Φιλισταιους, αν εγω κακοποιω αυτους.
4 And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.	4 Και υπηγεν ο Σαμψων και επιασε τριακοσιας αλωπεκας, και ελαβε λαμπαδας, και εστρεψεν ουραν προς ουραν και εβαλε μιαν λαμπαδα μεταξυ των δυο ουρων εις το μεσον.
5 And 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.	5 Και αναψας τας λαμπαδας, απελυσεν εις τα σπαρτα των Φιλισταιων, και εκαυσε τας θημωνιας, εως και τα αθεριστα ασταχυα, εως και τας αμπελους και ελαιας.
6 Then 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.	6 Τοτε οι Φιλισταιοι ειπον, Τις εκαμε τουτο; Και απεκριθησαν, Σαμψων ο γαμβρος του Θαμναθαιου? διοτι ελαβε την γυναικα αυτου και εδωκεν αυτην εις τον συντροφον αυτου. Και ανεβησαν οι Φιλισταιοι και εκαυσαν αυτην και τον πατερα αυτης εν πυρι.
7 But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet.	7 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Σαμψων, Αν και σεις εκαμετε τουτο, εγω ομως θελω εκδικηθη εναντιον σας, και μετα ταυτα θελω παυσει.
8 And 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.	8 Και επαταξεν αυτους κνημην και μηρον εν σφαγη μεγαλη? και κατεβη και εκαθισεν εις το χασμα της πετρας Ηταμ.
9 Then 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.	9 Ανεβησαν δε οι Φιλισταιοι και εστρατοπεδευσαν εν γη Ιουδα και διεχυθησαν εις Λεχι.
10 And 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.	10 Και ειπον οι ανδρες Ιουδα, Δια τι ανεβητε εναντιον ημων; Οι δε απεκριθησαν, Δια να δεσωμεν τον Σαμψων ανεβημεν, να καμωμεν εις αυτον ως εκαμεν εις ημας.
11 Wherefore 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.	11 Και κατεβησαν τρεις χιλιαδες ανδρων εκ του Ιουδα εις το χασμα της πετρας Ηταμ και ειπον προς τον Σαμψων, Δεν εξευρεις οτι οι Φιλισταιοι εξουσιαζουσιν εφ' ημων; τι τουτο λοιπον το οποιον εκαμες εις ημας; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Ως εκαμαν εις εμε, ουτως εκαμον εις αυτους.
12 And 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.	12 Και ειπον προς αυτον, Κατεβημεν να σε δεσωμεν, δια να σε παραδωσωμεν εις την χειρα των Φιλισταιων. Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Σαμψων, Ορκισθητε προς εμε, οτι σεις δεν θελετε επιπεσει κατ' εμου.
13 They 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.	13 Και ειπαν προς αυτον, λεγοντες, Ουχι? αλλα θελομεν σε δεσει δυνατα και σε παραδωσει εις την χειρα αυτων? πλην βεβαιως δεν θελομεν σε θανατωσει. Εδεσαν λοιπον αυτον με δυο νεα σχοινια και ανεβιβασαν αυτον εκ της πετρας.
14 Now 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.	14 Και οτε ηλθεν εις Λεχι, οι Φιλισταιοι αλαλαζοντες εδραμον εις συναντησιν αυτου. Και επηλθεν επ' αυτον Πνευμα Κυριου? και τα σχοινια, τα εις τους βραχιονας αυτου, εγειναν ως λιναριον το οποιον εξαπτεται εν τω πυρι, και τα δεσμα αυτου επεσον εκ των χειρων αυτου, διεσπασμενα.
15 And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass which lay there, catching it up, be slew therewith a thousand men.	15 Και ευρηκε σιαγονα ονου νωπην, και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου ελαβεν αυτην και εφονευσε δι' αυτης χιλιους ανδρας.
16 And 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.	16 Και ειπεν ο Σαμψων, Δια σιαγονος ονου εκαμα σωρους, σωρους, δια σιαγονος ονου εφονευσα χιλιους ανδρας.
17 And 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.	17 Και αφου επαυσε λαλων, ερριψε την σιαγονα απο της χειρος αυτου? και ωνομασε τον τοπον εκεινον, Ραμαθ-λεχι.
18 Arid 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.	18 Και διψησας σφοδρα, εβοησε προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Συ εδωκας δια χειρος του δουλου σου την μεγαλην ταυτην σωτηριαν? και τωρα να αποθανω υπο διψης και να πεσω εις την χειρα των απεριτμητων;
19 Then 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.	19 Και εσχισεν ο Θεος το κοιλωμα το εν Λεχι, και εξηλθεν υδωρ απ' αυτου? και αφου επιεν, ανελαβε το πνευμα αυτου, και ανεζωοποιηθη? δια τουτο εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου, Εν-ακκορε, το οποιον ειναι εν Λεχι εως της ημερας ταυτης.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.	20 Και αυτος εκρινε τον Ισραηλ εν ταις ημεραις των Φιλισταιων εικοσι ετη.
