| וירד שמשון תמנתה וירא אשה בתמנתה מבנות פלשתים׃ | Judg 14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. |
| ויעל ויגד לאביו ולאמו ויאמר אשה ראיתי בתמנתה מבנות פלשתים ועתה קחו־אותה לי לאשה׃ | Judg 14:2 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. |
| ויאמר לו אביו ואמו האין בבנות אחיך ובכל־עמי אשה כי־אתה הולך לקחת אשה מפלשתים הערלים ויאמר שמשון אל־אביו אותה קח־לי כי־היא ישרה בעיני׃ | Judg 14:3 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. |
| ואביו ואמו לא ידעו כי מיהוה היא כי־תאנה הוא־מבקש מפלשתים ובעת ההיא פלשתים משלים בישראל׃ | Judg 14:4 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. |
| וירד שמשון ואביו ואמו תמנתה ויבאו עד־כרמי תמנתה והנה כפיר אריות שאג לקראתו׃ | Judg 14:5 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. |
| ותצלח עליו רוח יהוה וישסעהו כשסע הגדי ומאומה אין בידו ולא הגיד לאביו ולאמו את אשר עשה׃ | Judg 14:6 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. |
| וירד וידבר לאשה ותישר בעיני שמשון׃ | Judg 14:7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well. |
| וישב מימים לקחתה ויסר לראות את מפלת האריה והנה עדת דבורים בגוית האריה ודבש׃ | Judg 14:8 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. |
| וירדהו אל־כפיו וילך הלוך ואכל וילך אל־אביו ואל־אמו ויתן להם ויאכלו ולא־הגיד להם כי מגוית האריה רדה הדבש׃ | Judg 14:9 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. |
| וירד אביהו אל־האשה ויעש שם שמשון משתה כי כן יעשו הבחורים׃ | Judg 14:10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. |
| ויהי כראותם אותו ויקחו שלשים מרעים ויהיו אתו׃ | Judg 14:11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him. |
| ויאמר להם שמשון אחודה־נא לכם חידה אם־הגד תגידו אותה לי שבעת ימי המשתה ומצאתם ונתתי לכם שלשים סדינים ושלשים חלפת בגדים׃ | Judg 14:12 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: |
| ואם־לא תוכלו להגיד לי ונתתם אתם לי שלשים סדינים ושלשים חליפות בגדים ויאמרו לו חודה חידתך ונשמענה׃ | Judg 14:13 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. |
| ויאמר להם מהאכל יצא מאכל ומעז יצא מתוק ולא יכלו להגיד החידה שלשת ימים׃ | Judg 14:14 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. |
| ויהי׀ ביום השביעי ויאמרו לאשת־שמשון פתי את־אישך ויגד־לנו את־החידה פן־נשרף אותך ואת־בית אביך באש הלירשנו קראתם לנו הלא׃ | Judg 14:15 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? |
| ותבך אשת שמשון עליו ותאמר רק־שנאתני ולא אהבתני החידה חדת לבני עמי ולי לא הגדתה ויאמר לה הנה לאבי ולאמי לא הגדתי ולך אגיד׃ | Judg 14:16 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? |
| ותבך עליו שבעת הימים אשר־היה להם המשתה ויהי׀ ביום השביעי ויגד־לה כי הציקתהו ותגד החידה לבני עמה׃ | Judg 14:17 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. |
| ויאמרו לו אנשי העיר ביום השביעי בטרם יבא החרסה מה־מתוק מדבש ומה עז מארי ויאמר להם לולא חרשתם בעגלתי לא מצאתם חידתי׃ | Judg 14:18 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. |
| ותצלח עליו רוח יהוה וירד אשקלון ויך מהם׀ שלשים איש ויקח את־חליצותם ויתן החליפות למגידי החידה ויחר אפו ויעל בית אביהו׃ | Judg 14:19 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. |
| ותהי אשת שמשון למרעהו אשר רעה לו׃ | Judg 14:20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. |
