Samson’s Marriage
1Simson pergi ke Timna dan di situ ia melihat seorang gadis Filistin. 2Ia pulang dan memberitahukan kepada ayahnya dan ibunya: "Di Timna aku melihat seorang gadis Filistin. Tolong, ambillah dia menjadi isteriku." 3Tetapi ayahnya dan ibunya berkata kepadanya: "Tidak adakah di antara anak-anak perempuan sanak saudaramu atau di antara seluruh bangsa kita seorang perempuan, sehingga engkau pergi mengambil isteri dari orang Filistin, orang-orang yang tidak bersunat itu?" Tetapi jawab Simson kepada ayahnya: "Ambillah dia bagiku, sebab dia kusukai." 4Tetapi ayahnya dan ibunya tidak tahu bahwa hal itu dari pada TUHAN asalnya: sebab memang Simson harus mencari gara-gara terhadap orang Filistin. Karena pada masa itu orang Filistin menguasai orang Israel.
1Then Samson went down to Timnah, and he saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines. 2So he came back and told his father and mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; so now, get her for me as a wife.” 3But his father and his mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” Yet Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, because she is right for me.” 4However, his father and mother did not know that this was of the LORD, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. And at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.
5Lalu pergilah Simson beserta ayahnya dan ibunya ke Timna. Ketika mereka sampai ke kebun-kebun anggur di Timna, maka seekor singa muda mendatangi Simson dengan mengaum. 6Pada waktu itu berkuasalah Roh TUHAN atas dia, sehingga singa itu dicabiknya seperti orang mencabik anak kambing -- tanpa apa-apa di tangannya. Tetapi tidak diceriterakannya kepada ayahnya atau ibunya apa yang dilakukannya itu. 7Maka pergilah ia ke sana, lalu bercakap-cakap dengan perempuan itu, sebab Simson suka kepadanya. 8Setelah beberapa waktu kembalilah ia ke sana untuk kawin dengan perempuan itu; dan ketika ia menyimpang dari jalan untuk melihat bangkai singa itu, tampaklah ada kawanan lebah pada kerangka singa itu dan juga madu. 9Dikeruknya madu itu ke dalam tangannya dan sambil memakannya ia berjalan terus, kemudian pergilah ia kepada ayahnya dan ibunya, dan memberikannya juga kepada mereka, lalu mereka memakannya. Tetapi tidak diceriterakannya kepada mereka, bahwa madu itu dikeruknya dari kerangka singa.
5Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him. 6And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, so that he tore it apart as one tears apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done. 7So he went down and talked to the woman; and she looked pleasing to Samson. 8When he returned later to take her, he turned aside to look at the carcass of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the body of the lion. 9So he took out the honey on his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
Samson’s Riddle
10Setelah ayahnya pergi kepada perempuan itu, Simson mengadakan perjamuan di sana, sebab demikianlah biasanya dilakukan orang-orang muda. 11Ketika mereka melihat dia, dipilihlah tiga puluh orang kawan untuk menemani dia. 12Kata Simson kepada mereka: "Aku mau mengatakan suatu teka-teki kepada kamu. Jika kamu dapat memberi jawabnya yang tepat kepadaku dalam tujuh hari selama perjamuan ini berlangsung dan menebaknya, maka aku akan memberikan kepadamu tiga puluh pakaian lenan dan tiga puluh pakaian kebesaran. 13Tetapi jika kamu tidak dapat memberi jawabnya kepadaku, maka kamulah yang harus memberikan tiga puluh pakaian dalam dan tiga puluh pakaian kebesaran kepadaku." Kata mereka kepadanya: "Katakanlah teka-tekimu itu, supaya kami dengar." 14Lalu katanya kepada mereka: "Dari yang makan keluar makanan, dari yang kuat keluar manisan." Ada tiga hari lamanya mereka tidak dapat memberi jawab teka-teki itu.
10Then his father went down to the woman; and Samson held a feast there, for the young men customarily did this. 11When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him. 12Then Samson said to them, “Let me now propose a riddle for you; if you actually tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and solve it, then I will give you thirty linen wraps and thirty outfits of clothes. 13“But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty outfits of clothes.” And they said to him, “Propose your riddle, so that we may hear it.” 14So he said to them,
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.”
But they could not tell the answer to the riddle in three days.
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.”
But they could not tell the answer to the riddle in three days.
15Pada hari ketujuh berkatalah mereka kepada isteri Simson: "Bujuklah suamimu, supaya diberitahukannya kepada kami jawab teka-teki itu; kalau tidak, kami akan membakar engkau beserta seisi rumah ayahmu. Apakah engkau mengundang kami untuk membuat kami menjadi miskin ? Tidak, bukan?" 16Lalu menangislah isteri Simson itu sambil memeluk Simson, katanya: "Engkau benci saja kepadaku, dan tidak cinta kepadaku; suatu teka-teki kaukatakan kepada orang-orang sebangsaku, tetapi jawabnya tidak kauberitahukan kepadaku." Sahutnya kepadanya: "Sedangkan kepada ayahku dan ibuku tidak kuberitahukan, masakan kepada engkau akan kuberitahukan ?" 17Tetapi isterinya itu menangis di sampingnya selama ketujuh hari mereka mengadakan perjamuan itu. Pada hari yang ketujuh diberitahukannyalah kepadanya, karena ia merengek-rengek kepadanya, kemudian perempuan itu memberitahukan jawab teka-teki itu kepada orang-orang sebangsanya. 18Lalu pada hari yang ketujuh itu, sebelum matahari terbenam, berkatalah orang-orang kota itu kepadanya: "Apakah yang lebih manis dari pada madu ? Apakah yang lebih kuat dari pada singa ?" Sahutnya kepada mereka: "Kalau kamu tidak membajak dengan lembu betinaku, pasti kamu tidak menebak teka-tekiku." 19Maka berkuasalah Roh TUHAN atas dia, lalu pergilah ia ke Askelon dan dibunuhnya tiga puluh orang di sana, diambilnya pakaian mereka dan diberikannya pakaian-pakaian kebesaran itu kepada orang-orang yang dapat memberi jawab teka-teki itu. Tetapi amarahnya masih juga bernyala-nyala, lalu pulanglah ia ke rumah ayahnya. 20Maka diberikanlah isteri Simson itu kepada kawannya, bekas pengiringnya.
15Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?” 16So Samson’s wife wept in front of him and said, “You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have proposed a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me.” And he said to her, “Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?” 17However she wept before him for seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people. 18So 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 found out my riddle.” 19Then the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty men of them and took what they were wearing and gave the outfits of clothes to those who told the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house. 20But Samson’s wife was given to his companion who had been his friend.
