1 Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Καὶ-κατέβη-Σαμψων-εις-Θαμναθα-καὶ-εῖδεν-γυναῖκα-εν-Θαμναθα-εκ-τῶν-θυγατέρων-τῶν-αλλοφύλων-καὶ-ήρεσεν-ενώπιον-αυτοῦ-.-
2 So he went up and told his father and mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife.”
καὶ-ανέβη-καὶ-απήγγειλεν-τῶ-πατρὶ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-τῆ-μητρὶ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-εῖπεν-Γυναῖκα-εώρακα-εν-Θαμναθα-απὸ-τῶν-θυγατέρων-τῶν-αλλοφύλων-,-καὶ-νῦν-λάβετέ-μοι-αυτὴν-εις-γυναῖκα-.-
3 Then his father and mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you must go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” And Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτῶ-ο-πατὴρ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-η-μήτηρ-αυτοῦ-Μὴ-ουκ-έστιν-απὸ-τῶν-θυγατέρων-τῶν-αδελφῶν-σου-καὶ-εν-παντὶ-τῶ-λαῶ-μου-γυνή-,-ότι-σὺ-πορεύη-λαβεῖν-γυναῖκα-εκ-τῶν-αλλοφύλων-τῶν-απεριτμήτων-;-καὶ-εῖπεν-Σαμψων-πρὸς-τὸν-πατέρα-αυτοῦ-Ταύτην-λαβέ-μοι-,-ότι-ήρεσεν-εν-οφθαλμοῖς-μου-.-
4 But his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD—that He was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
καὶ-ο-πατὴρ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-η-μήτηρ-αυτοῦ-ουκ-έγνωσαν-ότι-παρὰ-κυρίου-εστίν-,-ότι-ανταπόδομα-αυτὸς-εκζητεῖ-εκ-τῶν-αλλοφύλων-·-καὶ-εν-τῶ-καιρῶ-εκείνω-αλλόφυλοι-εκυρίευον-τῶν-υιῶν-Ισραηλ-.-
5 So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him.
καὶ-κατέβη-Σαμψων-καὶ-ο-πατὴρ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-η-μήτηρ-αυτοῦ-εις-Θαμναθα-.-καὶ-εξέκλινεν-εις-αμπελῶνα-Θαμναθα-,-καὶ-ιδοὺ-σκύμνος-λεόντων-ωρυόμενος-εις-απάντησιν-αυτοῦ-·-
6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
καὶ-κατηύθυνεν-επ᾿-αυτὸν-πνεύμα-κυρίου-,-καὶ-διέσπασεν-αυτόν-,-ωσεὶ-διασπάσαι-έριφον-αιγῶν-,-καὶ-ουδὲν-ῆν-εν-τῆ-χειρὶ-αυτοῦ-.-καὶ-ουκ-απήγγειλεν-τῶ-πατρὶ-αυτοῦ-ουδὲ-τῆ-μητρὶ-ὰ-εποίησεν-.-
7 Then he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
καὶ-κατέβησαν-καὶ-ελάλησαν-τῆ-γυναικί-,-καὶ-ήρεσεν-ενώπιον-Σαμψων-.-
8 After some time, when he returned to get her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the carcass of the lion.
καὶ-επέστρεψεν-μεθ᾿-ημέρας-λαβεῖν-αυτὴν-καὶ-εξέκλινεν-ιδεῖν-τὸ-πτῶμα-τοῦ-λέοντος-,-καὶ-ιδοὺ-συστροφὴ-μελισσῶν-εν-τῶ-στόματι-τοῦ-λέοντος-καὶ-μέλι-ῆν-.-
9 He took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them, and they also ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
καὶ-εξεῖλεν-αυτὸ-εις-τὸ-στόμα-αυτοῦ-καὶ-επορεύθη-πορευόμενος-καὶ-έσθων-·-καὶ-επορεύθη-πρὸς-τὸν-πατέρα-αυτοῦ-καὶ-πρὸς-τὴν-μητέρα-αυτοῦ-καὶ-έδωκεν-αυτοῖς-,-καὶ-έφαγον-·-καὶ-ουκ-απήγγειλεν-αυτοῖς-ότι-εκ-τῆς-έξεως-τοῦ-λέοντος-εξεῖλεν-τὸ-μέλι-.-
10 So his father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so.
καὶ-κατέβη-ο-πατὴρ-αυτοῦ-πρὸς-τὴν-γυναῖκα-·-καὶ-εποίησεν-εκεῖ-Σαμψων-πότον-ημέρας-επτά-,-ότι-ούτως-εποίουν-οι-νεανίσκοι-.-
11 And it happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
καὶ-εγένετο-εν-τῶ-φοβεῖσθαι-αυτοὺς-αυτὸν-προσκατέστησαν-αυτῶ-εταίρους-τριάκοντα-,-καὶ-ῆσαν-μετ᾿-αυτοῦ-.-
12 Then Samson said to them, “Let me pose a riddle to you. If you can correctly solve and explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτοῖς-Σαμψων-Προβαλῶ-υμῖν-πρόβλημα-,-καὶ-εὰν-απαγγείλητέ-μοι-τὸ-πρόβλημα-εν-ταῖς-επτὰ-ημέραις-τοῦ-πότου-,-δώσω-υμῖν-τριάκοντα-σινδόνας-καὶ-τριάκοντα-στολάς-·-
13 But if you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” And they said to him, “Pose your riddle, that we may hear it.”
καὶ-εὰν-μὴ-δυνασθῆτε-απαγγεῖλαί-μοι-,-καὶ-δώσετε-υμεῖς-εμοὶ-τριάκοντα-σινδόνας-καὶ-τριάκοντα-στολὰς-ιματίων-.-καὶ-εῖπαν-αυτῶ-Προβαλοῦ-τὸ-πρόβλημά-σου-,-καὶ-ακουσόμεθα-αυτοῦ-.-
14 So he said to them: “Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet.” Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτοῖς-Εκ-τοῦ-έσθοντος-εξῆλθεν-βρῶσις-,-καὶ-εξ-ισχυροῦ-εξῆλθεν-γλυκύ-.-καὶ-ουκ-ηδυνάσθησαν-απαγγεῖλαι-τὸ-πρόβλημα-επὶ-τρεῖς-ημέρας-.-
15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may explain the riddle to us, or else we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us in order to take what is ours? Is that not so?
καὶ-εγένετο-εν-τῆ-ημέρα-τῆ-τετάρτη-καὶ-εῖπαν-τῆ-γυναικὶ-Σαμψων-Απάτησον-δὴ-τὸν-άνδρα-σου-καὶ-απαγγειλάτω-σοι-τὸ-πρόβλημα-,-μήποτε-εμπυρίσωμέν-σε-καὶ-τὸν-οῖκον-τοῦ-πατρός-σου-εν-πυρί-·-ῆ-πτωχεῦσαι-εκαλέσατε-ημᾶς-;-
16 Then Samson’s wife wept on him, and said, “You only hate me! You do not love me! You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, but you have not explained it to me.” And he said to her, “Look, I have not explained it to my father or my mother; so should I explain it to you?”
καὶ-έκλαυσεν-η-γυνὴ-Σαμψων-επ᾿-αυτὸν-καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτῶ-Μεμίσηκάς-με-καὶ-ουκ-ηγάπηκάς-με-,-ότι-τὸ-πρόβλημα-,-ὸ-προεβάλου-τοῖς-υιοῖς-τοῦ-λαοῦ-μου-,-καμοὶ-ουκ-απήγγειλας-αυτό-.-καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτῆ-Σαμψων-Ιδοὺ-τῶ-πατρί-μου-καὶ-τῆ-μητρί-μου-ουκ-απήγγειλα-αυτό-,-καὶ-σοὶ-απαγγελῶ-;-
17 Now she had wept on him the seven days while their feast lasted. And it happened on the seventh day that he told her, because she pressed him so much. Then she explained the riddle to the sons of her people.
καὶ-έκλαυσεν-επ᾿-αυτὸν-επὶ-τὰς-επτὰ-ημέρας-,-εν-αῖς-ῆν-εν-αυταῖς-ο-πότος-·-καὶ-εγένετο-εν-τῆ-ημέρα-τῆ-εβδόμη-καὶ-απήγγειλεν-αυτῆ-,-ότι-παρηνώχλησεν-αυτόν-·-καὶ-αυτὴ-απήγγειλεν-τοῖς-υιοῖς-τοῦ-λαοῦ-αυτῆς-.-
18 So the men of the city said to 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 to them: “If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have solved my riddle!”
καὶ-εῖπαν-αυτῶ-οι-άνδρες-τῆς-πόλεως-εν-τῆ-ημέρα-τῆ-εβδόμη-πρὶν-δῦναι-τὸν-ήλιον-Τί-γλυκύτερον-μέλιτος-,-καὶ-τί-ισχυρότερον-λέοντος-;-καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτοῖς-Σαμψων-Ει-μὴ-κατεδαμάσατέ-μου-τὴν-δάμαλιν-,-ουκ-ὰν-εύρετε-τὸ-πρόβλημά-μου-.-
19 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave the changes of clothing to those who had explained the riddle. So his anger was aroused, and he went back up to his father’s house.
καὶ-κατεύθυνεν-επ᾿-αυτὸν-πνεῦμα-κυρίου-,-καὶ-κατέβη-εις-Ασκαλῶνα-καὶ-έπαισεν-εκεῖθεν-τριάκοντα-άνδρας-καὶ-έλαβεν-τὰς-στολὰς-αυτῶν-καὶ-έδωκεν-τοῖς-απαγγείλασιν-τὸ-πρόβλημα-.-καὶ-εθυμώθη-οργῆ-Σαμψων-καὶ-ανέβη-εις-τὸν-οῖκον-τοῦ-πατρὸς-αυτοῦ-.-
20 And Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man.
καὶ-συνώκησεν-η-γυνὴ-Σαμψων-τῶ-νυμφαγωγῶ-αυτοῦ-,-ὸς-ῆν-εταῖρος-αυτοῦ-.-
