LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και κατεβη σαμψων εις θαμναθα και ειδεν γυναικα εν θαμναθα εκ των θυγατερων των αλλοφυλων και ηρεσεν ενωπιον αυτου	1 Samson went down to Timnah and saw there one of the Philistine women.
2 και ανεβη και απηγγειλεν τω πατρι αυτου και τη μητρι αυτου και ειπεν γυναικα εωρακα εν θαμναθα απο των θυγατερων των αλλοφυλων και νυν λαβετε μοι αυτην εις γυναικα	2 On his return he told his father and mother, "There is a Philistine woman I saw in Timnah whom I wish you to get as a wife for me."
3 και ειπεν αυτω ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου μη ουκ εστιν απο των θυγατερων των αδελφων σου και εν παντι τω λαω μου γυνη οτι συ πορευη λαβειν γυναικα εκ των αλλοφυλων των απεριτμητων και ειπεν σαμψων προς τον πατερα αυτου ταυτην λαβε μοι οτι ηρεσεν εν οφθαλμοις μου	3 His father and mother said to him, "Can you find no wife among your kinsfolk or among all our people, that you must go and take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson answered his father, "Get her for me, for she pleases me."
4 και ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου ουκ εγνωσαν οτι παρα κυριου εστιν οτι ανταποδομα αυτος εκζητει εκ των αλλοφυλων και εν τω καιρω εκεινω αλλοφυλοι εκυριευον των υιων ισραηλ	4 Now his father and mother did not know that this had been brought about by the LORD, who was providing an opportunity against the Philistines; for at that time they had dominion over Israel.
5 και κατεβη σαμψων και ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου εις θαμναθα και εξεκλινεν εις αμπελωνα θαμναθα και ιδου σκυμνος λεοντων ωρυομενος εις απαντησιν αυτου	5 So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother. When they had come to the vineyards of Timnah, a young lion came roaring to meet him.
6 και κατηυθυνεν επ' αυτον πνευμα κυριου και διεσπασεν αυτον ωσει διασπασαι εριφον αιγων και ουδεν ην εν τη χειρι αυτου και ουκ απηγγειλεν τω πατρι αυτου ουδε τη μητρι α εποιησεν	6 But the spirit of the LORD came upon Samson, and although he had no weapons, he tore the lion in pieces as one tears a kid.
7 και κατεβησαν και ελαλησαν τη γυναικι και ηρεσεν ενωπιον σαμψων	7 However, on the journey to speak for the woman, he did not mention to his father or mother what he had done.
8 και επεστρεψεν μεθ' ημερας λαβειν αυτην και εξεκλινεν ιδειν το πτωμα του λεοντος και ιδου συστροφη μελισσων εν τω στοματι του λεοντος και μελι ην	8 Later, when he returned to marry the woman who pleased him, he stepped aside to look at the remains of the lion and found a swarm of bees and honey in the lion's carcass.
9 και εξειλεν αυτο εις το στομα αυτου και επορευθη πορευομενος και εσθων και επορευθη προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς την μητερα αυτου και εδωκεν αυτοις και εφαγον και ουκ απηγγειλεν αυτοις οτι εκ της εξεως του λεοντος εξειλεν το μελι	9 So he scooped the honey out into his palms and ate it as he went along. When he came to his father and mother, he gave them some to eat, without telling them that he had scooped the honey from the lion's carcass.
10 και κατεβη ο πατηρ αυτου προς την γυναικα και εποιησεν εκει σαμψων ποτον ημερας επτα οτι ουτως εποιουν οι νεανισκοι	10 His father also went down to the woman, and Samson gave a banquet there, since it was customary for the young men to do this.
11 και εγενετο εν τω φοβεισθαι αυτους αυτον προσκατεστησαν αυτω εταιρους τριακοντα και ησαν μετ' αυτου	11 When they met him, they brought thirty men to be his companions.
12 και ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων προβαλω υμιν προβλημα και εαν απαγγειλητε μοι το προβλημα εν ταις επτα ημεραις του ποτου δωσω υμιν τριακοντα σινδονας και τριακοντα στολας	12 Samson said to them, "Let me propose a riddle to you. If within the seven days of the feast you solve it for me successfully, I will give you thirty linen tunics and thirty sets of garments.
13 και εαν μη δυνασθητε απαγγειλαι μοι και δωσετε υμεις εμοι τριακοντα σινδονας και τριακοντα στολας ιματιων και ειπαν αυτω προβαλου το προβλημα σου και ακουσομεθα αυτου	13 But if you cannot answer it for me, you must give me thirty tunics and thirty sets of garments." "Propose your riddle," they responded; "we will listen to it."
14 και ειπεν αυτοις εκ του εσθοντος εξηλθεν βρωσις και εξ ισχυρου εξηλθεν γλυκυ και ουκ ηδυνασθησαν απαγγειλαι το προβλημα επι τρεις ημερας	14 So he said to them,
15 και εγενετο εν τη ημερα τη τεταρτη και ειπαν τη γυναικι σαμψων απατησον δη τον ανδρα σου και απαγγειλατω σοι το προβλημα μηποτε εμπυρισωμεν σε και τον οικον του πατρος σου εν πυρι η πτωχευσαι εκαλεσατε ημας	15 they said on the fourth day to Samson's wife, "Coax your husband to answer the riddle for us, or we will burn you and your family. Did you invite us here to reduce us to poverty?"
16 και εκλαυσεν η γυνη σαμψων επ' αυτον και ειπεν αυτω μεμισηκας με και ουκ ηγαπηκας με οτι το προβλημα ο προεβαλου τοις υιοις του λαου μου καμοι ουκ απηγγειλας αυτο και ειπεν αυτη σαμψων ιδου τω πατρι μου και τη μητρι μου ουκ απηγγειλα αυτο και σοι απαγγελω	16 At Samson's side, his wife wept and said, "You must hate me; you do not love me, for you have proposed a riddle to my countrymen, but have not told me the answer." He said to her, "If I have not told it even to my father or my mother, must I tell it to you?"
17 και εκλαυσεν επ' αυτον επι τας επτα ημερας εν αις ην εν αυταις ο ποτος και εγενετο εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη και απηγγειλεν αυτη οτι παρηνωχλησεν αυτον και αυτη απηγγειλεν τοις υιοις του λαου αυτης	17 But she wept beside him during the seven days the feast lasted. On the seventh day, since she importuned him, he told her the answer, and she explained the riddle to her countrymen.
18 και ειπαν αυτω οι ανδρες της πολεως εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη πριν δυναι τον ηλιον τι γλυκυτερον μελιτος και τι ισχυροτερον λεοντος και ειπεν αυτοις σαμψων ει μη κατεδαμασατε μου την δαμαλιν ουκ αν ευρετε το προβλημα μου	18 On the seventh day, before the sun set, the men of the city said to him,
19 και κατευθυνεν επ' αυτον πνευμα κυριου και κατεβη εις ασκαλωνα και επαισεν εκειθεν τριακοντα ανδρας και ελαβεν τας στολας αυτων και εδωκεν τοις απαγγειλασιν το προβλημα και εθυμωθη οργη σαμψων και ανεβη εις τον οικον του πατρος αυτου	19 The spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, where he killed thirty of their men and despoiled them; he gave their garments to those who had answered the riddle. Then he went off to his own family in anger,
20 και συνωκησεν η γυνη σαμψων τω νυμφαγωγω αυτου ος ην εταιρος αυτου	20 and Samson's wife was married to the one who had been best man at his wedding.
