Judges 14

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then Samson went down to Thamnatlia, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines,	1 Και κατεβη ο Σαμψων εις Θαμναθ, και ειδε γυναικα εν Θαμναθ εκ των θυγατερων των Φιλισταιων.
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.	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 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.	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 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.	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 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.	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 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.	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 And he went down and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes.	7 Και κατεβη και ελαλησε προς την γυναικα? και ηρεσεν εις τους οφθαλμους του Σαμψων.
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.	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 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.	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 So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do.	10 Και κατεβη ο πατηρ αυτου προς την γυναικα? και εκαμεν εκει ο Σαμψων συμποσιον? διοτι ουτως εσυνειθιζον οι νεοι.
11 And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him.	11 Και οτε ειδον αυτον, ελαβον τριακοντα συντροφους δια να ηναι μετ' αυτου.
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:	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 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.	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 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.	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 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?	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 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?	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 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.	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 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.	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 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:	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 But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband.	20 Η δε γυνη του Σαμψων εδοθη εις τον συντροφον αυτου, τον οποιον ειχε φιλον αυτου.
