Judges 15

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Not long after this, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife, with a kid; he said, 'I wishto go to my wife in her room.' But 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 'I felt sure', he said, 'that you had taken a real dislike to her, so I gave her to your companion. Butwould not her younger sister suit you better? 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 But Samson answered them, 'I can get my revenge on the Philistines now only by doing them somedamage.'	3 και ειπεν αυτω σαμψων αθωος ειμι το απαξ απο των αλλοφυλων οτι εγω ποιω μεθ' υμων κακα
4 So Samson went off and caught three hundred foxes, then took torches and, turning the foxes tail totail, put a torch between each pair of 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 He lit the torches and set the foxes free in the Philistines' cornfields. In this way he burned bothsheaves and standing corn, and the vines and olive trees as wel .	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 The Philistines asked, 'Who has done this?' and received the answer, 'Samson, who married theTimnite's daughter; his father-in-law took the wife back again and gave her to his companion instead.' ThePhilistines then went and burned the woman and her father's family to death.	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 that is how you behave, I swear I wil not rest till I have had my revenge onyou.'	7 και ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων εαν ποιησητε ουτως ουκ ευδοκησω αλλα την εκδικησιν μου εξ ενος και εκαστου υμων ποιησομαι
8 And he fel on them systematical y and caused great havoc. Then he went down to the cave in theRock of Etham and lived there.	8 και επαταξεν αυτους επι μηρον πληγην μεγαλην και κατεβη και κατωκει παρα τω χειμαρρω εν τω σπηλαιω ηταμ
9 The Philistines came up and encamped in Judah and made a foray against Lehi.	9 και ανεβησαν οι αλλοφυλοι και παρενεβαλοσαν επι τον ιουδαν και εξερριφησαν εν λεχι
10 The men of Judah said to them, 'Why are you attacking us?' They replied, 'We have come to seizeSamson and to treat him as he has treated 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 then went down to the cave of the Rock of Etham and said to him,'Don't you know that the Philistines have us in their power? Now what have you done to us?' He replied, 'I havetreated them only as they treated me.'	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 then said, 'We have come down to take you, to hand you over to the Philistines.' He said,'Swear to me not to 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 They replied, 'No; we only want to bind you and hand you over to them; we certainly do not want tokil you.' They then bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the Rock.	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 As he was approaching Lehi, and the Philistines came running towards him with triumphant shouts,the spirit of Yahweh was on him; the ropes on his arms became like burnt strands of flax and the cords round hishands came untied.	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 Coming across the fresh jawbone of a donkey, he reached out and snatched it up; and with it heslaughtered 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 Samson said: With the jawbone of a donkey I have laid them in heaps, with the jawbone of adonkey I have fel ed a thousand men.	16 και ειπεν σαμψων εν σιαγονι ονου εξαλειφων εξηλειψα αυτους οτι εν σιαγονι ονου επαταξα χιλιους ανδρας
17 And with that he hurled the jawbone away; and that is why the place was cal ed Ramath-Lehi.	17 και εγενετο ηνικα συνετελεσεν λαλων και ερριψεν την σιαγονα απο της χειρος αυτου και εκαλεσεν τον τοπον εκεινον αναιρεσις σιαγονος
18 And as he was very thirsty, he cal ed on Yahweh and said, 'You yourself have worked this greatdeliverance by the hand of your servant; and now must I die of thirst and fal into the hands of theuncircumcised?'	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 opened a hol ow in the ground, the hol ow there is at Lehi, and water gushed out of it.Samson drank; his vigour returned and he revived. And therefore this spring was called En-ha-Kore; it is still atLehi today.	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 was judge in Israel in the days of the Philistines for twenty years.	20 και εκρινεν τον ισραηλ εν ημεραις αλλοφυλων ετη εικοσι
