LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και κατεβη σαμψων εις θαμναθα και ειδεν γυναικα εν θαμναθα εκ των θυγατερων των αλλοφυλων και ηρεσεν ενωπιον αυτου	1 Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines,
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 He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife.
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 And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me, for she hath pleased my eyes.
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 parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines 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 Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him raging and roaring.
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 And the spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother.
7 και κατεβησαν και ελαλησαν τη γυναικι και ηρεσεν ενωπιον σαμψων	7 And he went down and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes.
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 And after some days returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion and a honeycomb.
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 And when be had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them, that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.
10 και κατεβη ο πατηρ αυτου προς την γυναικα και εποιησεν εκει σαμψων ποτον ημερας επτα οτι ουτως εποιουν οι νεανισκοι	10 So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do.
11 και εγενετο εν τω φοβεισθαι αυτους αυτον προσκατεστησαν αυτω εταιρους τριακοντα και ησαν μετ' αυτου	11 And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him.
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 And Samson said to them: I will propose to you a riddle, which if you declare unto me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts, and as many coats:
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 shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle that we may hear 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 And he said to 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 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 And when the seventh day came, they said to the wife of Samson: Soothe thy husband, and persuade him to tell thee what the riddle meaneth. But if thou wilt not do it, we will burn thee, and thy father's house. Have you called us to the wedding on purpose to strip us?
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 So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother, and how can I tell it to thee?
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 So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and at length on the seventh day as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told 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 And they on the seventh day before the sun went down said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.
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 And the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men, whose garments he took away and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry he went up to his father's house:
20 και συνωκησεν η γυνη σαμψων τω νυμφαγωγω αυτου ος ην εταιρος αυτου	20 But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband.
