Judges 15

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 After some time, in the season of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife, bringing a kid. But when he said, "Let me be with my wife in private," her father would not let him enter,	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 saying, "I thought it certain you wished to repudiate her; so I gave her to your best man. Her younger sister is more beautiful than she; you may have her instead."	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 Samson said to them, "This time the Philistines cannot blame me if I harm them."	3 και ειπεν αυτω σαμψων αθωος ειμι το απαξ απο των αλλοφυλων οτι εγω ποιω μεθ' υμων κακα
4 So Samson left and caught three hundred foxes. Turning them tail to tail, he tied between each pair of tails one of the torches he had at hand.	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 He then kindled the torches and set the foxes loose in the standing grain of the Philistines, thus burning both the shocks and the standing grain, and the vineyards and olive orchards as well.	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 When the Philistines asked who had done this, they were told, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because his wife was taken and given to his best man." So the Philistines went up and destroyed her and her family by fire.	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 Samson said to them, "If this is how you act, I will not stop until I have taken revenge on you."	7 και ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων εαν ποιησητε ουτως ουκ ευδοκησω αλλα την εκδικησιν μου εξ ενος και εκαστου υμων ποιησομαι
8 And with repeated blows, he inflicted a great slaughter on them. Then he went down and remained in a cavern of the cliff of Etam.	8 και επαταξεν αυτους επι μηρον πληγην μεγαλην και κατεβη και κατωκει παρα τω χειμαρρω εν τω σπηλαιω ηταμ
9 The Philistines went up and, from a camp in Judah, deployed against Lehi.	9 και ανεβησαν οι αλλοφυλοι και παρενεβαλοσαν επι τον ιουδαν και εξερριφησαν εν λεχι
10 When the men of Judah asked, "Why have you come up against us?" they answered, "To take Samson prisoner; to do to him as he has done to 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 Three thousand men of Judah went down to the cavern in the cliff of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are our rulers? Why, then, have you done this to us?" He answered them, "As they have done 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 They said to him, "We have come to take you prisoner, to deliver you over to the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves."	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 "No," they replied,"we will certainly not kill you but will only bind you and deliver you over to them." So they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the cliff.	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 When he reached Lehi, and the Philistines came shouting to meet him, the spirit of the LORD came upon him: the ropes around his arms became as flax that is consumed by fire and his bonds melted away from his hands.	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 Near him was the fresh jawbone of an ass; he reached out, grasped it, and with it killed 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 Then Samson said,	16 και ειπεν σαμψων εν σιαγονι ονου εξαλειφων εξηλειψα αυτους οτι εν σιαγονι ονου επαταξα χιλιους ανδρας
17 As he finished speaking he threw the jawbone from him; and so that place was named Ramath-lehi.	17 και εγενετο ηνικα συνετελεσεν λαλων και ερριψεν την σιαγονα απο της χειρος αυτου και εκαλεσεν τον τοπον εκεινον αναιρεσις σιαγονος
18 Being very thirsty, he cried to the LORD and said, "You have granted this great victory by the hand of your servant. Must I now die of thirst or 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 God split the cavity in Lehi, and water issued from it, which Samson drank till his spirit returned and he revived. Hence that spring in Lehi is called En-hakkore to this 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 Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.	20 και εκρινεν τον ισραηλ εν ημεραις αλλοφυλων ετη εικοσι
