And Sampson went down to Thamnatha, and saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines.

ΚΑΙ κατέβη Σαμψὼν εἰς Θαμναθὰ καὶ εἶδε γυναῖκα ἐν Θαμναθὰ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

И҆ сни́де самѱѡ́нъ во ѳамна́ѳꙋ и҆ ви́дѣ женꙋ̀ во ѳамна́ѳѣ ѿ дще́рей фѷлїсті́мскихъ, и҆ ᲂу҆го́дна бы́сть пред̾ ни́мъ.

2

And he went up and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Phylistines; and now take her to me for a wife.

καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε· γυναῖκα ἑώρακα ἐν Θαμναθὰ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων Φυλιστιΐμ, καὶ νῦν λάβετε αὐτὴν ἐμοὶ εἰς γυναῖκα.

И҆ взы́де и҆ повѣ́да ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ ма́тери свое́й, и҆ речѐ: женꙋ̀ ви́дѣхъ во ѳамна́ѳѣ ѿ дще́рей фѷлїсті́мскихъ, и҆ нн҃ѣ поими́те ю҆̀ мнѣ̀ въ женꙋ̀.

3

And his father and his mother said to him, Are there no daughters of thy brethren, and [is there not] a woman of all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Sampson said to his father, Take her for me, for she [is] right in my eyes.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ· μὴ οὐκ εἰσὶ θυγατέρες τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου καὶ ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου γυνή, ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ λαβεῖν γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων; καὶ εἶπε Σαμψὼν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· ταύτην λάβε μοι, ὅτι αὔτη εὐθεῖα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου.

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀: є҆да̀ нѣ́сть дще́рей ѿ бра́тїи твоеѧ̀ и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ люді́й мои́хъ жены̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ и҆́деши поѧ́ти женꙋ̀ ѿ дще́рей и҆ноплеме́нникѡвъ неѡбрѣ́занныхъ; И҆ речѐ самѱѡ́нъ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: сїю̀ поимѝ мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ та̀ ᲂу҆го́дна є҆́сть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма.

4

And his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought to be revenged on the Philistines: and at that time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.

καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι παρὰ Κυρίου ἐστίν, ὅτι ἐκδίκησιν αὐτὸς ζητεῖ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι κυριεύοντες ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ.

Ѻ҆те́цъ же є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀ не разꙋмѣ́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѐ ѿ гдⷭ҇а є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿмще́нїѧ ѻ҆́нъ и҆́щетъ ѿ фѷлїсті́млѧнъ: въ то́ бо вре́мѧ владѧ́хꙋ фѷлїсті́млѧне сы̑ны і҆и҃левыми.

5

And Sampson and his father and his mother went down to Thamnatha, and he came to the vineyard of Thamnatha; and behold, a young lion roared in meeting him.

καὶ κατέβη Σαμψὼν καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἰς Θαμναθά. καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος Θαμναθά, καὶ ἰδοὺ σκύμνος λέοντος ὠρυόμενος εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ·

И҆ сни́де самѱѡ́нъ и҆ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀ во ѳамна́ѳꙋ, и҆ прїидо́ша до вїногра́да ѳамна́ѳа: и҆ сѐ, льви́чищь рыка́ющь во срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀.

6

And the spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he crushed him as he would have crushed a kid of the goats, and there was nothing in his hands: and he told not his father and his mother what he had done.

καὶ ἥλατο ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου, καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτόν, ὡσεὶ συντρίψει ἔριφον αἰγῶν, καὶ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ὃ ἐποίησε.

И҆ сни́де на него̀ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ растерза̀ є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ко́злища ѿ ко́зъ, и҆ ничто́же бѧ́ше въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ не повѣ́да ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ ма́тери свое́й, є҆́же сотворѝ.

7

And they went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Sampson.

καὶ κατέβησαν καὶ ἐλάλησαν τῇ γυναικί, καὶ ηὐθύνθη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαμψών.

И҆ поидо́ша и҆ реко́ша женѣ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆го́дна бы́сть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма самѱѡ́на.

8

And after some time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees, and honey [were] in the mouth of the lion.

καὶ ὑπέστρεψε μεθ᾿ ἡμέρας λαβεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἰδεῖν τὸ πτῶμα τοῦ λέοντος, καὶ ἰδοὺ συναγωγὴ μελισσῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι τοῦ λέοντος καὶ μέλι.

И҆ возврати́сѧ по дне́хъ поѧ́ти ю҆̀, и҆ ѡ҆брати́сѧ ви́дѣти трꙋ́пъ льво́въ, и҆ сѐ, ро́й пче́лъ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ льво́выхъ и҆ ме́дъ:

9

And he took it into his hands, and went on eating, and he went to his father and his mother, and gave to them, and they did eat; but he told them not that he took the honey out of the mouth of the lion.

καὶ ἐξεῖλεν αὐτὸ εἰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐσθίων· καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔφαγον· καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἀπὸ στόματος τοῦ λέοντος ἐξεῖλε τὸ μέλι.

и҆ и҆з̾ѧ̀ є҆го̀ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ, и҆ и҆дѧ́ше и҆ды́й и҆ ꙗ҆ды́й: и҆ по́йде ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ ма́тери свое́й, и҆ дадѐ и҆̀мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша: и҆ не повѣ́да и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ льво́выхъ и҆з̾ѧ̀ се́й ме́дъ.

10

And his father went down to the woman, and Sampson made there a banquet for seven days, for so the young men are used to do.

κα’Ι κατέβη ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ Σαμψὼν πότον ἡμέρας ἑπτά, ὅτι οὕτως ποιοῦσιν οἱ νεανίσκοι.

И҆ сни́де ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ къ женѣ̀, и҆ сотворѝ самѱѡ́нъ та́мѡ пи́ръ се́дмь дні́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ творѧ́тъ ю҆́ношы:

11

And it came to pass when they saw him, that they took thirty guests, and they were with him.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἶδον αὐτόν, καὶ ἔλαβον τριάκοντα κλητούς, καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

и҆ бы́сть внегда̀ боѧ́тисѧ и҆̀мъ є҆гѡ̀, приста́виша къ немꙋ̀ три́десѧть дрꙋгѡ́въ, и҆ бы́ша съ ни́мъ:

12

And Sampson said to them, I propound you a riddle: if ye will indeed tell it me, and discover it within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty sheets and thirty changes of raiment.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψών· πρόβλημα ὑμῖν προβάλλομαι· ἐὰν ἀπαγγέλλοντες ἀπαγγείλητε αὐτὸ ἐν ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἡμέραις τοῦ πότου καὶ εὕρητε, δώσω ὑμῖν τριάκοντα σινδόνας καὶ τριάκοντα στολὰς ἱματίων·

и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ самѱѡ́нъ: предлага́ю нн҃ѣ ва́мъ гада́нїе, и҆ а҆́ще ѿгада́юще повѣ́дите мнѣ̀ сїѐ въ се́дмь дні́й пи́ра и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете, да́мъ ва́мъ три́десѧть понѧ́въ и҆ три́десѧть ри́зъ ѻ҆де́ждъ:

13

And if ye cannot tell it me, ye shall give me thirty napkins and thirty changes of apparel: and they said to him, Propound thy riddle, and we will hear it.

καὶ ἐὰν μὴ δύνησθε ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι, δώσετε ὑμεῖς ἐμοὶ τριάκοντα ὀθόνια καὶ τριάκοντα ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς ἱματίων· καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· προβάλλου τὸ πρόβλημά σου, καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα αὐτό.

а҆́ще же не возмо́жете сїѐ повѣ́дати мнѣ̀, дади́те вы̀ мнѣ̀ три́десѧть понѧ́въ и҆ три́десѧть ри́зъ и҆змѣ́нныхъ. И҆ реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀: предложѝ гада́нїе твоѐ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шимъ є҆̀.

14

And he said to them, Meat came forth of the eater, and sweetness out of the strong: and they could not tell the riddle for three days.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί βρωτὸν ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ βιβρώσκοντος καὶ ἀπὸ ἰσχυροῦ γλυκύ; καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο ἀπαγγεῖλαι τὸ πρόβλημα ἐπί τρεῖς ἡμέρας.

И҆ глаго́ла и҆̀мъ: ѿ ꙗ҆дꙋ́щагѡ ꙗ҆до́мое и҆зы́де, и҆ ѿ крѣ́пкагѡ и҆зы́де сла́дкое. И҆ не мого́ша повѣ́дати гада́нїѧ до тре́хъ дні́й.

15

And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they said to the wife of Sampson, Deceive now thy husband, and let him tell thee the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: did ye invite us to do us violence?

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ εἶπαν τῇ γυναικὶ Σαμψών· ἀπάτησον δὴ τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἀπαγγειλάτω σοι τὸ πρόβλημα, μή ποτε κατακαύσωμέν σε καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἐν πυρί· ἦ ἐκβιάσαι ἡμᾶς κεκλήκατε;

И҆ бы́сть въ де́нь четве́ртый, и҆ реко́ша женѣ̀ самѱѡ́новѣ: прельстѝ мꙋ́жа своего̀, и҆ да повѣ́сть тебѣ̀ гада́нїе, да не сожже́мъ тѧ̀ и҆ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ ѻ҆гне́мъ: и҆лѝ ѡ҆ꙋбо́жити призва́сте ны̀;

16

And Sampson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not; for the riddle which thou hast propounded to the children of my people thou hast not told me: and Sampson said to her, If I have not told it to my father and my mother, shall I tell it to thee?

καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἡ γυνὴ Σαμψὼν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· πλὴν μεμίσηκάς με καὶ οὐκ ἠγάπησάς με, ὅτι τὸ πρόβλημα, ὃ προεβάλου τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ μου, οὐκ ἀπήγγειλάς μοι αὐτό· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Σαμψών· εἰ τῷ πατρί μου καὶ τῇ μητρί μου οὐκ ἀπήγγελκα, σοὶ ἀπαγγείλω;

И҆ пла́касѧ жена̀ самѱѡ́нова пред̾ ни́мъ и҆ речѐ: ра́звѣ возненави́дѣлъ є҆сѝ менѐ и҆ не возлюби́лъ є҆сѝ менѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ гада́нїѧ, є҆́же є҆сѝ предложи́лъ сынѡ́мъ люді́й мои́хъ, не повѣ́далъ є҆сѝ є҆гѡ̀ мнѣ̀. И҆ речѐ є҆́й самѱѡ́нъ: сѐ, ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ и҆ ма́тери мое́й не повѣ́дахъ сегѡ̀, и҆ тебѣ́ ли повѣ́мъ;

17

And she wept before him the seven days, during which their banquet lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she troubled him; and she told it to the children of her people.

καὶ ἔκλαυσε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, ἃς ἦν αὐτοῖς ὁ πότος· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ, ὅτι παρηνώχλησεν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπήγγειλε τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτῆς.

И҆ пла́касѧ пред̾ ни́мъ се́дмь дні́й, въ нѧ́же бѣ̀ и҆̀мъ пи́ръ. И҆ бы́сть въ де́нь седмы́й, и҆ повѣ́да є҆́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ стꙋжѝ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ та̀ повѣ́да сынѡ́мъ люді́й свои́хъ.

18

And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day, before sunrise, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? and Sampson said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, ye would not have known my riddle.

καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ πρὸ τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι τὸν ἥλιον· τί γλυκύτερον μέλιτος, καὶ τί ἰσχυρότερον λέοντος; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψών· εἰ μὴ ἠροτριάσατε ἐν τῇ δαμάλει μου, οὐκ ἂν ἔγνωτε τὸ πρόβλημά μου.

И҆ реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀ мꙋ́жїе гра́дстїи въ де́нь седмы́й пре́жде заше́ствїѧ со́лнца: что̀ сла́ждше ме́да; и҆ что̀ крѣ́плѣе льва̀; И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ самѱѡ́нъ: а҆́ще не бы́сте ѡ҆ра́ли ю҆́ницею мое́ю, не бы́сте ᲂу҆вѣ́дали гада́нїѧ моегѡ̀.

19

And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him powerfully, and he went down to Ascalon, and destroyed of the inhabitants thirty men, and took their garments, and gave the changes of raiment to them that told the riddle; and Sampson was very angry, and went up to the house of his father.

καὶ ἥλατο ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου, καὶ κατέβη εἰς ᾿Ασκάλωνα καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐξ αὐτῶν τριάκοντα ἄνδρας καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδωκε τὰς στολὰς τοῖς ἀπαγγείλασι τὸ πρόβλημα. καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Σαμψὼν καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

И҆ нападѐ на него̀ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ сни́де во а҆скалѡ́нъ, и҆ и҆збѝ та́мѡ три́десѧть мꙋже́й, и҆ взѧ̀ ри̑зы и҆́хъ, и҆ дадѐ ри̑зы повѣ́давшымъ гада́нїе. И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ ꙗ҆́ростїю самѱѡ́нъ, и҆ взы́де въ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀.

20

And the wife of Sampson was [given] to one of his friends, with whom he was on terms of friendship.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ γυνὴ Σαμψὼν ἑνὶ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἐφιλίασεν.

Жена́ же самѱѡ́нова и҆́де за и҆на́го мꙋ́жа, и҆́же бы́сть є҆ди́нъ ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀.
