Judges 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Samson went down to Timnah and saw there one of the Philistine women.	1 Και κατεβη ο Σαμψων εις Θαμναθ, και ειδε γυναικα εν Θαμναθ εκ των θυγατερων των Φιλισταιων.
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."	2 Και ανεβη και ανηγγειλε προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς την μητερα αυτου, λεγων, Ειδον γυναικα εν Θαμναθ εκ των θυγατερων των Φιλισταιων? και τωρα λαβετε αυτην εις εμε δια γυναικα.
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."	3 Ειπον δε προς αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου, Μηπως δεν υπαρχει μεταξυ των θυγατερων των αδελφων σου και μεταξυ παντος του λαου μου γυνη, και υπαγεις συ να λαβης γυναικα εκ των Φιλισταιων των απεριτμητων; Ο δε Σαμψων ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ταυτην λαβε εις εμε? διοτι αυτη ειναι αρεστη εις τους οφθαλμους μου.
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.	4 Αλλ' ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου δεν εγνωρισαν οτι παρα Κυριου ητο τουτο, οτι αυτος εζητει αφορμην εναντιον των Φιλισταιων? διοτι κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον οι Φιλισταιοι εδεσποζον επι τον Ισραηλ.
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.	5 Τοτε κατεβη ο Σαμψων μετα του πατρος αυτου και μετα της μητρος αυτου εις Θαμναθ, και ηλθον εως των αμπελωνων της Θαμναθ? και ιδου, σκυμνος λεοντος ωρυομενος συναπηντησεν αυτον.
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.	6 Και επηλθεν επ' αυτον το πνευμα του Κυριου, και διεσπαραξεν αυτον ως εαν ηθελε διασπαραξει εριφιον, μη εχων μηδεν εν ταις χερσιν αυτου? πλην δεν ανηγγειλε προς τον πατερα αυτου η προς την μητερα αυτου τι ειχε καμει.
7 However, on the journey to speak for the woman, he did not mention to his father or mother what he had done.	7 Και κατεβη και ελαλησε προς την γυναικα? και ηρεσεν εις τους οφθαλμους του Σαμψων.
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.	8 Και επεστρεψε μεθ' ημερας να λαβη αυτην? και εξεκλινεν εκ της οδου δια να ιδη το πτωμα του λεοντος? και ιδου, σμηνος μελισσων εν τω πτωματι του λεοντος, και 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.	9 Και ελαβεν εκ τουτου εις τας χειρας αυτου και επροχωρει τρωγων, και ηλθε προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς την μητερα αυτου και εδωκεν εις αυτους και εφαγον? πλην δεν ειπε προς αυτους οτι εκ του πτωματος του λεοντος ελαβε το μελι.
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.	10 Και κατεβη ο πατηρ αυτου προς την γυναικα? και εκαμεν εκει ο Σαμψων συμποσιον? διοτι ουτως εσυνειθιζον οι νεοι.
11 When they met him, they brought thirty men to be his companions.	11 Και οτε ειδον αυτον, ελαβον τριακοντα συντροφους δια να ηναι μετ' αυτου.
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.	12 Και ειπεν ο Σαμψων προς αυτους, Τωρα θελω σας προβαλει αινιγμα? εαν δυνηθητε να λυσητε αυτο εις εμε εν ταις επτα ημεραις του συμποσιου και να ευρητε αυτο, τοτε εγω θελω δωσει εις εσας τριακοντα χιτωνας λινους και τριακοντα στολας φορεματων?
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."	13 αλλ' εαν δεν δυνηθητε να λυσητε αυτο εις εμε, τοτε σεις θελετε δωσει εις εμε τριακοντα χιτωνας λινους και τριακοντα στολας φορεματων. Και ειπον προς αυτον, Προβαλε το αινιγμα σου, δια να ακουσωμεν αυτο.
14 So he said to them,	14 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Εκ του τρωγοντος εξηλθε τροφη, και εκ του ισχυρου εξηλθε γλυκυτης. Και αυτοι δεν ηδυναντο να λυσωσι το αινιγμα δια τρεις ημερας.
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?"	15 Και την εβδομην ημεραν ειπαν προς την γυναικα του Σαμψων, Κολακευσον τον ανδρα σου, και ας μας φανερωση το αινιγμα, δια να μη κατακαυσωμεν σε και τον οικον του πατρος σου εν πυρι? δια να γυμνωσητε ημας προσεκαλεσατε ημας; δεν ειναι ουτω;
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?"	16 Και εκλαυσεν γυνη του Σαμψων εμπροσθεν αυτου και ειπε, Βεβαιως με μισεις και δεν με αγαπας? επροβαλες αινιγμα προς τους υιους του λαου μου, και εις εμε δεν εφανερωσας αυτο. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτην, Ιδου, προς τον πατερα μου και προς την μητερα μου δεν εφανερωσα αυτο? και εις σε θελω φανερωσει;
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.	17 Αλλ' αυτη εκλαιεν εμπροσθεν αυτου τας επτα ημερας, καθ' ας ητο το συμποσιον αυτων? την δε εβδομην ημεραν εφανερωσεν αυτο προς αυτην, διοτι παρηνοχλησεν αυτον? η δε εφανερωσε το αινιγμα προς τους υιους του λαου αυτης.
18 On the seventh day, before the sun set, the men of the city said to him,	18 Τοτε ειπον προς αυτον οι ανδρες της πολεως την εβδομην ημεραν, πριν δυση ο ηλιος, Τι γλυκυτερον του μελιτος; και τι ισχυροτερον του λεοντος; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Εαν δεν ηθελετε αροτριασει με την δαμαλιν μου, δεν ηθελετε ευρει το αινιγμα μου.
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,	19 Και επηλθεν επ' αυτον πνευμα Κυριου? και κατεβη εις Ασκαλωνα και εφονευσε τριακοντα ανδρας εξ αυτων, και ελαβε τα ιματια αυτων, και εδωκε τας στολας εις τους εξηγησαντας το αινιγμα. Και εξηφθη ο θυμος αυτου, και ανεβη εις τον οικον του πατρος αυτου.
20 and Samson's wife was married to the one who had been best man at his wedding.	20 Η δε γυνη του Σαμψων εδοθη εις τον συντροφον αυτου, τον οποιον ειχε φιλον αυτου.
