Judges 14

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.	1 ܘܢܚܬ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܠܬܡܢܬ ܘܚܙܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܒܬܡܢܬ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܢܬ ܦܠܫܬ̈ܝܐ
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.	2 ܘܣܠܩ ܘܚܘܝ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܒܬܡܢܬ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܬ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܗܫܐ ܣܒܘܗ ܠܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ
3 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.	3 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܗ ܠܝܬ ܗܪܟܐ ܒܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܟ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܥܡܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܣܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܬ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܥܘܪ̈ܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܠܗܝ ܣܒܘ ܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܝ ܫܦܪܬ ܒܥܝ̈ܢܝ
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.	4 ܘܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܗ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܕܢܬܬܒܥ ܥܝܪܬܐ ܡܢ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܫܠܝܛܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.	5 ܘܢܚܬ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܘܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܗ ܠܬܡܢܬ ܘܡܛܝܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܟܪ̈ܡܐ ܕܬܡܢܬ ܘܗܐ ܓܘܪܝܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܢܗܡ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ
6 And the Spirit of the LORD 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.	6 ܘܐܨܠܚܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܦܫܚܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܦܫܚܝܢ ܠܓܕܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܚܘܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.	7 ܘܢܚܬܘ ܘܡܠܠܘ ܥܡ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܫܘܢ
8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.	8 ܘܗܦܟ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܠܡܣܒܗ̇ ܘܣܛܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܬܓܪܘܡܬܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܘܗܐ ܫܠܚܐ ܕܕܒܘܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܒܓܘܫܡܗ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܗܘ
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.	9 ܘܪܕܐ ܕܒܫܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܡܗܠܟ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܘܬ ܐܡܗ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܟܠܘ ܘܠܐ ܚܘܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܓܘܫܡܗ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܪܕܐ ܕܒܫܐ
10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.	10 ܘܢܚܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܬܡܢ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܬܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܕܘ̈ܕܐ ܡܫܬܘܬܐ
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.	11 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܐܬܘ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܫܘܫ̈ܒܝܢܐ
12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:	12 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܐܚܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܘܚܕܬܐ ܐܢ ܬܦܫܪܘܢܗ̇ ܠܝ ܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܡܫܬܘܬܐ ܘܬܕܥܘܢܗ̇ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܐܦܩܪ̈ܣܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܝܢ ܙܘ̈ܓܝܢ ܕܠܒܘܫ̈ܐ
13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.	13 ܘܐܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬܘܢ ܕܬܦܫܪܘܢܗ̇ ܠܝ ܝܗܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܐܦܩܪ̈ܣܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܝܢ ܙܘ̈ܓܝܢ ܕܠܒܘܫ̈ܐ ܐܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܚܘܕ ܐܘܚܕܬܟ ܘܢܫܡܥܝܗ
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.	14 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܟܠܐ ܢܦܩ ܐܘܟܠܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܝܪܐ ܢܦܩ ܚܠܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܦܫܪܗ̇ ܐܘܚܕܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ
15 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 take that we have? is it not so?	15 ܘܒܝܘܡܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܫܡܫܘܢ ܫܕܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܥܠܟܝ ܕܢܘܕܥܢ ܐܘܚܕܬܗ ܕܠܐ ܢܘܩܕܟܝ ܠܟܝ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܟܝ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܢܐܪܬ ܝܘܪܬܢܗ
16 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 it thee?	16 ܘܒܟܬ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܫܡܫܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܣܢܝܬܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܪܚܡܬܢܝ ܕܐܘܚܕܬܐ ܕܐܚܕܬ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܝ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬܗ̇ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ̇ ܠܐܒܝ ܘܠܐܡܝ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܝ ܐܡܪ
17 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 lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.	17 ܘܗܘܬ ܒܟܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܘܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܥܝܩܬ ܠܗ ܘܓܠܬܗ̇ ܐܘܚܕܬܐ ܠܒ̈ܢܝ ܥܡܗ̇
18 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.	18 ܘܐܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܥܕܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܬܘܩܢܐ ܡܢܘ ܕܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܒܫܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܩܝܦ ܡܢ ܐܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܫܕܠܬܘܢ ܥܓܠܬܝ ܠܐ ܦܫܪܬܘܢ ܐܘܚܕܬܝ
19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.	19 ܘܐܨܠܚܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܠܐܫܩܠܘܢ ܘܐܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܩܛܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܣܒ ܠܒ̈ܘܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܦܫܪܘ ܐܘܚܕܬܗ ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܣܠܩ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.	20 ܘܗܘܬ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܫܡܫܘܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܫܘܫܒܝܢܗ
