BIBLIAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Sansón bajó a Timná y se fijó en Timná en una mujer entre las hijas de los filisteos.1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Subió y se lo dijo a su padre y a su madre: «He visto en Timná una mujer de entre las hijas de los filisteos: tomádmela para esposa».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.
3 Su padre y su madre le dijeron: «¿No hay ninguna mujer entre las hijas de tus hermanos y en todo mi pueblo, para que vayas a tomar mujer entre esos filisteos incircuncisos?» Pero Sansón respondió a su padre: «Toma a ésa para mí, porque esa es la que me gusta».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.
4 Su padre y su madre no sabían que esto venía de Yahveh, que buscaba un pretexto contra los filisteos, pues por aquel tiempo los filisteos dominaban a Israel.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.
5 Sansón bajó a Timná y al llegar a las viñas de Timná, vio un leoncillo que venía rugiendo a su encuentro.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.
6 El espíritu de Yahveh le invadió, y sin tener nada en la mano, Sansón despedazó al león como se despedaza un cabrito; pero no contó ni a su padre ni a su madre lo que había hecho.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.
7 Bajó y habló con la mujer, la cual le agradó.7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 Algún tiempo después, volvió Sansón para casarse con ella. Dio un rodeo para ver el cadáver del león y he aquí que en el cuerpo del león había un enjambre de abejas con miel.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.
9 La recogió en su mano y según caminaba la iba comiendo. Cuando llegó donde su padre y su madre les dio miel y comieron, pero no les dijo que la había cogido del cadáver del león.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.
10 Su padre bajó donde la mujer y Sansón hizo allí un banquete, pues así suelen hacer los jóvenes.10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 Pero, al verle, eligieron treinta compañeros para que estuvieran con él.11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Sansón les dijo: «Os voy a proponer una adivinanza. Si me dais la solución dentro de los siete días de la fiesta y acertáis, os daré treinta túnicas y treinta mudas.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:
13 Pero si no podéis darme la solución, entonces me daréis vosotros treinta túnicas y treinta mudas». Ellos le dijeron: «Propón tu adivinanza, que te escuchamos».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.
14 El les dijo: «Del que come salió comida, y del fuerte salió dulzura». A los tres días aún no habían acertado la adivinanza.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.
15 Al cuarto día dijeron a la mujer de Sansón: «Convence a tu marido para que nos explique la adivinanza. Si no, te quemaremos a ti y a la casa de tu padre. ¿O es que nos habéis invitado para robarnos?»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?
16 La mujer de Sansón se puso a llorar sobre él, y dijo: «Tú me odias y no me amas. Has propuesto una adivinanza a los hijos de mi pueblo y a mí no me la has explicado». El le respondió: «Ni a mi padre ni a mi madre se la he explicado ¿y te la voy a explicar a ti?»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?
17 Ella estuvo llorando encima de él los siete días que duró la fiesta. Por fin el séptimo día se la explicó, porque lo tenía asediado y ella explicó la adivinanza a los hijos de su pueblo.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.
18 El séptimo día, antes que entrara en la alcoba, la gente de la ciudad dijo a Sansón: «¿Qué hay más dulce que la miel, y qué más fuerte que el león?» El les repondió: «Si no hubierais arado con mi novilla, no habríais acertado mi adivinanza».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.
19 Luego el espíritu de Yahveh le invadió, bajó a Ascalón y mató allí a treinta hombres, tomó sus despojos y entregó las mudas a los acertantes de la adivinanza; luego, encendido en cólera, subió a la casa de su padre.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.
20 La mujer de Sansón pasó a ser de un compañero suyo, el que había sido su amigo de confianza.20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
