Judges 15

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
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 εγενετο μεθ' ημερας εν ημεραις θερισμου πυρων και επεσκεψατο σαμψων την γυναικα αυτου φερων εριφον αιγων και ειπεν εισελευσομαι προς την γυναικα μου εις τον κοιτωνα και ουκ αφηκεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτης εισελθειν προς αυτην
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 ειπας ειπα οτι μισων εμισησας αυτην και εδωκα αυτην τω συνεταιρω σου ουκ ιδου η αδελφη αυτης η νεωτερα κρεισσων αυτης εστιν εστω δη σοι αντι αυτης
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 και ειπεν αυτω σαμψων αθωος ειμι το απαξ απο των αλλοφυλων οτι εγω ποιω μεθ' υμων κακα
4 And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.	4 και επορευθη σαμψων και συνελαβεν τριακοσιας αλωπεκας και ελαβεν λαμπαδας και συνεδησεν κερκον προς κερκον και εθηκεν λαμπαδα μιαν ανα μεσον των δυο κερκων εν τω μεσω
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 εξηψεν πυρ εν ταις λαμπασιν και εξαπεστειλεν εις τα δραγματα των αλλοφυλων και ενεπυρισεν τους σταχυας και τα προτεθερισμενα απο στοιβης και εως εστωτος και εως αμπελωνος 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 και ειπαν οι αλλοφυλοι τις εποιησεν ταυτα και ειπαν σαμψων ο γαμβρος του θαμναθαιου οτι ελαβεν την γυναικα αυτου και εδωκεν αυτην τω συνεταιρω αυτου και ανεβησαν οι αλλοφυλοι και ενεπυρισαν την οικιαν του πατρος αυτης και 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 ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων εαν ποιησητε ουτως ουκ ευδοκησω αλλα την εκδικησιν μου εξ ενος και εκαστου υμων ποιησομαι
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 επι μηρον πληγην μεγαλην και κατεβη και κατωκει παρα τω χειμαρρω εν τω σπηλαιω 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 και ανεβησαν οι αλλοφυλοι και παρενεβαλοσαν επι τον ιουδαν και εξερριφησαν εν 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 ειπαν αυτοις πας ανηρ ιουδα ινα τι ανεβητε εφ' ημας και ειπαν οι αλλοφυλοι δησαι τον σαμψων και ποιησαι αυτω ον τροπον εποιησεν ημιν
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 εξ ιουδα επι την οπην της πετρας ηταμ και ειπαν προς σαμψων ουκ οιδας οτι αρχουσιν ημων οι αλλοφυλοι και ινα τι ταυτα εποιησας ημιν και ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων καθως εποιησαν ημιν ουτως εποιησα αυτοις
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 ειπαν αυτω του δησαι σε κατεβημεν και παραδουναι σε εις χειρας αλλοφυλων και ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων ομοσατε μοι μη αποκτειναι με υμεις και παραδοτε με αυτοις μηποτε απαντησητε υμεις εν εμοι
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 ωμοσαν αυτω λεγοντες ουχι αλλα δεσμω δησομεν σε και παραδωσομεν σε εις χειρας αυτων θανατω δε ου θανατωσομεν σε και εδησαν αυτον δυο καλωδιοις καινοις και ανηγαγον 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 αυτος ηλθεν εως σιαγονος και οι αλλοφυλοι ηλαλαξαν εις απαντησιν αυτου και εδραμον εις συναντησιν αυτου και κατηυθυνεν επ' αυτον πνευμα κυριου και εγενοντο τα καλωδια τα εν τοις βραχιοσιν αυτου ωσει στιππυον ηνικα αν οσφρανθη πυρος και διελυθησαν οι δεσμοι απο των βραχιονων αυτου
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 ευρεν σιαγονα ονου ερριμμενην εν τη οδω και εξετεινεν την χειρα αυτου και ελαβεν αυτην και επαταξεν εν αυτη 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 σαμψων εν σιαγονι ονου εξαλειφων εξηλειψα αυτους οτι εν σιαγονι ονου επαταξα 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 εγενετο ηνικα συνετελεσεν λαλων και ερριψεν την σιαγονα απο της χειρος αυτου και εκαλεσεν τον τοπον εκεινον αναιρεσις σιαγονος
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 εδιψησεν σφοδρα και εβοησεν προς κυριον και ειπεν συ εδωκας εν χειρι του δουλου σου την σωτηριαν την μεγαλην ταυτην και νυν αποθανουμαι εν διψει και εμπεσουμαι εν χειρι 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 ηνοιξεν ο θεος το τραυμα της σιαγονος και εξηλθεν εξ αυτου υδατα και επιεν και επεστρεψεν το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω και ανεψυξεν δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα αυτης πηγη επικλητος σιαγονος εως της ημερας ταυτης
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.	20 και εκρινεν τον ισραηλ εν ημεραις αλλοφυλων ετη εικοσι
