1  And Samson⁸¹²³ went down³³⁸¹ to Timnath,⁸⁵⁵³ and saw⁷²⁰⁰ a woman⁸⁰² in Timnath⁸⁵⁵³ of the daughters^{4480 1323} of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

2  And he came up,⁵⁹²⁷ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ his father¹ and his mother,⁵¹⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ a woman⁸⁰² in Timnath⁸⁵⁵³ of the daughters^{4480 1323} of the Philistines:⁶⁴³⁰ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore get³⁹⁴⁷ her for me to wife.⁸⁰²

3  Then his father¹ and his mother⁵¹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Is there never³⁶⁹ a woman⁸⁰² among the daughters¹³²³ of thy brethren,²⁵¹ or among all³⁶⁰⁵ my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ goest¹⁹⁸⁰ to take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² of the uncircumcised⁶¹⁸⁹ Philistines?^{4480 6430} And Samson⁸¹²³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his father,¹ Get³⁹⁴⁷ her for me; for³⁵⁸⁸ she¹⁹³¹ pleaseth me well.^{3474 5869}

4  But his father¹ and his mother⁵¹⁷ knew³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ was of the LORD,^{4480 3068} that³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ sought¹²⁴⁵ an occasion⁸³⁸⁵ against the Philistines:^{4480 6430} for at that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ had dominion⁴⁹¹⁰ over Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  Then went Samson down,^{3381 8123} and his father¹ and his mother,⁵¹⁷ to Timnath,⁸⁵⁵³ and came⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the vineyards³⁷⁵⁴ of Timnath:⁸⁵⁵³ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a young³⁷¹⁵ lion⁷³⁸ roared⁷⁵⁸⁰ against⁷¹²⁵ him.

6  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came mightily⁶⁷⁴³ upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and he rent⁸¹⁵⁶ him as he would have rent⁸¹⁵⁶ a kid,¹⁴²³ and he had nothing^{3972 369} in his hand:³⁰²⁷ but he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ his father¹ or his mother^{517 853} what⁸³⁴ he had done.⁶²¹³

7  And he went down,³³⁸¹ and talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with the woman;⁸⁰² and she pleased Samson well.^{3474 5869 8123}

8  And after a time^{4480 3117} he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to take³⁹⁴⁷ her, and he turned aside⁵⁴⁹³ to see^{7200 853} the carcass⁴⁶⁵⁸ of the lion:⁷³⁸ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there was a swarm⁵⁷¹² of bees¹⁶⁸² and honey¹⁷⁰⁶ in the carcass¹⁴⁷² of the lion.⁷³⁸

9  And he took⁷²⁸⁷ thereof in⁴¹³ his hands,³⁷⁰⁹ and went on^{1980 1980} eating,³⁹⁸ and came¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ his father¹ and mother,⁵¹⁷ and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them, and they did eat:³⁹⁸ but he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ them that³⁵⁸⁸ he had taken⁷²⁸⁷ the honey¹⁷⁰⁶ out of the carcass^{4480 1472} of the lion.⁷³⁸

10  So his father¹ went down³³⁸¹ unto⁴¹³ the woman:⁸⁰² and Samson⁸¹²³ made⁶²¹³ there⁸⁰³³ a feast;⁴⁹⁶⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ so³⁶⁵¹ used the young men⁹⁷⁰ to do.⁶²¹³

11  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ him, that they brought³⁹⁴⁷ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ companions⁴⁸²⁸ to be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him.

12  And Samson⁸¹²³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, I will now⁴⁹⁹⁴ put forth²³³⁰ a riddle²⁴²⁰ unto you: if⁵¹⁸ ye can certainly declare^{5046 5046} it me within the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ of the feast,⁴⁹⁶⁰ and find it out,⁴⁶⁷² then I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ you thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ sheets⁵⁴⁶⁶ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ change²⁴⁸⁷ of garments:⁸⁹⁹

13  But if⁵¹⁸ ye cannot^{3201 3808} declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ it me, then shall ye⁸⁵⁹ give⁵⁴¹⁴ me thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ sheets⁵⁴⁶⁶ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ change²⁴⁸⁷ of garments.⁸⁹⁹ And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Put forth²³³⁰ thy riddle,²⁴²⁰ that we may hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ it.

14  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Out of the eater^{4480 398} came forth³³¹⁸ meat,³⁹⁷⁸ and out of the strong^{4480 5794} came forth³³¹⁸ sweetness.⁴⁹⁶⁶ And they could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ in three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days³¹¹⁷ expound⁵⁰⁴⁶ the riddle.²⁴²⁰

15  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day,³¹¹⁷ that they said⁵⁵⁹ unto Samson's⁸¹²³ wife,⁸⁰² Entice^{6601 853} thy husband,³⁷⁶ that he may declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto us ⁸⁵³ the riddle,²⁴²⁰ lest⁶⁴³⁵ we burn⁸³¹³ thee and thy father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ with fire:⁷⁸⁴ have ye called⁷¹²¹ us to take that we have?³⁴²³ is it not³⁸⁰⁸ so?

16  And Samson's⁸¹²³ wife⁸⁰² wept¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁵⁹²¹ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou dost but⁷⁵³⁵ hate⁸¹³⁰ me, and lovest¹⁵⁷ me not:³⁸⁰⁸ thou hast put forth²³³⁰ a riddle²⁴²⁰ unto the children¹¹²¹ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and hast not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ it me. And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ it my father¹ nor my mother,⁵¹⁷ and shall I tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ it thee?

17  And she wept¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁵⁹²¹ him the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ while⁸³⁴ their feast⁴⁹⁶⁰ lasted:¹⁹⁶¹ and it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day,³¹¹⁷ that he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her, because³⁵⁸⁸ she lay sore⁶⁶⁹³ upon him: and she told⁵⁰⁴⁶ the riddle²⁴²⁰ to the children¹¹²¹ of her people.⁵⁹⁷¹

18  And the men³⁷⁶ of the city⁵⁸⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto him on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day³¹¹⁷ before²⁹⁶² the sun²⁷⁷⁵ went down,⁹³⁵ What⁴¹⁰⁰ is sweeter⁴⁹⁶⁶ than honey?^{4480 1706} and what⁴¹⁰⁰ is stronger⁵⁷⁹⁴ than a lion?^{4480 738} And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, If³⁸⁸⁴ ye had not plowed²⁷⁹⁰ with my heifer,⁵⁶⁹⁷ ye had not³⁸⁰⁸ found out⁴⁶⁷² my riddle.²⁴²⁰

19  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came⁶⁷⁴³ upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and he went down³³⁸¹ to Ashkelon,⁸³¹ and slew⁵²²¹ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ men³⁷⁶ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, and took^{3947 853} their spoil,²⁴⁸⁸ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ change of garments²⁴⁸⁷ unto them which expounded⁵⁰⁴⁶ the riddle.²⁴²⁰ And his anger⁶³⁹ was kindled,²⁷³⁴ and he went up⁵⁹²⁷ to his father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

20  But Samson's⁸¹²³ wife⁸⁰² was¹⁹⁶¹ given to his companion,⁴⁸²⁸ whom⁸³⁴ he had used as his friend.⁷⁴⁶²

1 καὶ κατέβη Σαμψων εἰς Θαμναθα καὶ εἶδεν γυναῖκα εἰς Θαμναθα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν ἀλλοφύλων

2 καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν γυναῖκα ἑόρακα ἐν Θαμναθα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων Φυλιστιιμ καὶ νῦν λάβετε αὐτὴν ἐμοὶ εἰς γυναῖκα

3 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ μὴ οὔκ εἰσιν θυγατέρες τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου καὶ ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου γυνή ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ λαβεῖν γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων καὶ εἶπεν Σαμψων πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ταύτην λαβέ μοι ὅτι αὕτη εὐθεῖα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου

4 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 Ισραηλ

5 καὶ κατέβη Σαμψων καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἰς Θαμναθα καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος Θαμναθα καὶ ἰδοὺ σκύμνος λέοντος ὠρυόμενος εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ

6 καὶ ἥλατο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτόν ὡσεὶ συντρίψει ἔριφον καὶ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ὃ ἐποίησεν

7 καὶ κατέβησαν καὶ ἐλάλησαν τῇ γυναικί καὶ ηὐθύνθη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαμψων

8 καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας λαβεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἰδεῖν τὸ πτῶμα τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἰδοὺ συναγωγὴ μελισσῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι τοῦ λέοντος καὶ μέλι

9 καὶ ἐξεῖλεν αὐτὸ εἰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐσθίων καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ λέοντος ἐξεῖλεν τὸ μέλι

10 καὶ κατέβη ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ Σαμψων πότον ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ὅτι οὕτως ποιοῦσιν οἱ νεανίσκοι

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

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

13 καὶ ἐὰν μὴ δύνησθε ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι δώσετε ὑμεῖς ἐμοὶ τριάκοντα ὀθόνια καὶ τριάκοντα ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς ἱματίων καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ προβαλοῦ τὸ πρόβλημα καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα αὐτό

14 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς τί βρωτὸν ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ βιβρώσκοντος καὶ ἀπὸ ἰσχυροῦ γλυκύ καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο ἀπαγγεῖλαι τὸ πρόβλημα ἐπὶ τρεῖς ἡμέρας

15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ εἶπαν τῇ γυναικὶ Σαμψων ἀπάτησον δὴ τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἀπαγγειλάτω σοι τὸ πρόβλημα μήποτε κατακαύσωμέν σε καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἐν πυρί ἦ ἐκβιάσαι ἡμᾶς κεκλήκατε

16 καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἡ γυνὴ Σαμψων πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν πλὴν μεμίσηκάς με καὶ οὐκ ἠγάπησάς με ὅτι τὸ πρόβλημα ὃ προεβάλου τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ μου οὐκ ἀπήγγειλάς μοι καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Σαμψων εἰ τῷ πατρί μου καὶ τῇ μητρί μου οὐκ ἀπήγγελκα σοὶ ἀπαγγείλω

17 καὶ ἔκλαυσεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἃς ἦν αὐτοῖς ὁ πότος καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ ὅτι παρενώχλησεν αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπήγγειλεν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτῆς

18 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 Σαμψων εἰ μὴ ἠροτριάσατε ἐν τῇ δαμάλει μου οὐκ ἂν ἔγνωτε τὸ πρόβλημά μου

19 καὶ ἥλατο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ κατέβη εἰς Ἀσκαλῶνα καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐξ αὐτῶν τριάκοντα ἄνδρας καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδωκεν τὰς στολὰς τοῖς ἀπαγγείλασιν τὸ πρόβλημα καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Σαμψων καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

20 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ γυνὴ Σαμψων ἑνὶ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ ὧν ἐφιλίασεν

1 καὶ κατέβη Σαμψων εἰς Θαμναθα καὶ εἶδεν γυναῖκα ἐν Θαμναθα ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἤρεσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ

2 καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν γυναῖκα ἑώρακα ἐν Θαμναθα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ νῦν λάβετέ μοι αὐτὴν εἰς γυναῖκα

3 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ μὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ μου γυνή ὅτι σὺ πορεύῃ λαβεῖν γυναῖκα ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων καὶ εἶπεν Σαμψων πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ταύτην λαβέ μοι ὅτι ἤρεσεν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου

4 καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι παρὰ κυρίου ἐστίν ὅτι ἀνταπόδομα αὐτὸς ἐκζητεῖ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐκυρίευον τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ

5 καὶ κατέβη Σαμψων καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἰς Θαμναθα καὶ ἐξέκλινεν εἰς ἀμπελῶνα Θαμναθα καὶ ἰδοὺ σκύμνος λεόντων ὠρυόμενος εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ

6 καὶ κατηύθυνεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πνεύμα κυρίου καὶ διέσπασεν αὐτόν ὡσεὶ διασπάσαι ἔριφον αἰγῶν καὶ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ τῇ μητρὶ ἃ ἐποίησεν

7 καὶ κατέβησαν καὶ ἐλάλησαν τῇ γυναικί καὶ ἤρεσεν ἐνώπιον Σαμψων

8 καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας λαβεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἰδεῖν τὸ πτῶμα τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἰδοὺ συστροφὴ μελισσῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι τοῦ λέοντος καὶ μέλι ἦν

9 καὶ ἐξεῖλεν αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη πορευόμενος καὶ ἔσθων καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐκ τῆς ἕξεως τοῦ λέοντος ἐξεῖλεν τὸ μέλι

10 καὶ κατέβη ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ Σαμψων πότον ἡμέρας ἑπτά ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίουν οἱ νεανίσκοι

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ φοβεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸν προσκατέστησαν αὐτῷ ἑταίρους τριάκοντα καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

12 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψων προβαλῶ ὑμῖν πρόβλημα καὶ ἐὰν ἀπαγγείλητέ μοι τὸ πρόβλημα ἐν ταῖς ἑπτὰ ἡμέραις τοῦ πότου δώσω ὑμῖν τριάκοντα σινδόνας καὶ τριάκοντα στολάς

13 καὶ ἐὰν μὴ δυνασθῆτε ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι καὶ δώσετε ὑμεῖς ἐμοὶ τριάκοντα σινδόνας καὶ τριάκοντα στολὰς ἱματίων καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ προβαλοῦ τὸ πρόβλημά σου καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα αὐτοῦ

14 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τοῦ ἔσθοντος ἐξῆλθεν βρῶσις καὶ ἐξ ἰσχυροῦ ἐξῆλθεν γλυκύ καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν ἀπαγγεῖλαι τὸ πρόβλημα ἐπὶ τρεῖς ἡμέρας

15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ εἶπαν τῇ γυναικὶ Σαμψων ἀπάτησον δὴ τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἀπαγγειλάτω σοι τὸ πρόβλημα μήποτε ἐμπυρίσωμέν σε καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἐν πυρί ἦ πτωχεῦσαι ἐκαλέσατε ἡμᾶς

16 καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἡ γυνὴ Σαμψων ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ μεμίσηκάς με καὶ οὐκ ἠγάπηκάς με ὅτι τὸ πρόβλημα ὃ προεβάλου τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ μου κἀμοὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλας αὐτό καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Σαμψων ἰδοὺ τῷ πατρί μου καὶ τῇ μητρί μου οὐκ ἀπήγγειλα αὐτό καὶ σοὶ ἀπαγγελῶ

17 καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν αἷς ἦν ἐν αὐταῖς ὁ πότος καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ ὅτι παρηνώχλησεν αὐτόν καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπήγγειλεν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτῆς

18 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ πρὶν δῦναι τὸν ἥλιον τί γλυκύτερον μέλιτος καὶ τί ἰσχυρότερον λέοντος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψων εἰ μὴ κατεδαμάσατέ μου τὴν δάμαλιν οὐκ ἂν εὕρετε τὸ πρόβλημά μου

19 καὶ κατεύθυνεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ κατέβη εἰς Ἀσκαλῶνα καὶ ἔπαισεν ἐκεῖθεν τριάκοντα ἄνδρας καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰς στολὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδωκεν τοῖς ἀπαγγείλασιν τὸ πρόβλημα καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαμψων καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

20 καὶ συνῴκησεν ἡ γυνὴ Σαμψων τῷ νυμφαγωγῷ αὐτοῦ ὃς ἦν ἑταῖρος αὐτοῦ

1 Descendit ergo Samson in Thamnatha: vidensque ibi mulierem de filiabus Philisthiim,

2 ascendit, et nuntiavit patri suo et matri suæ, dicens: Vidi mulierem in Thamnatha de filiabus Philisthinorum: quam quæso ut mihi accipiatis uxorem.

3 Cui dixerunt pater et mater sua: Numquid non est mulier in filiabus fratrum tuorum, et in omni populo meo, quia vis accipere uxorem de Philisthiim, qui incircumcisi sunt? Dixitque Samson ad patrem suum: Hanc mihi accipe: quia placuit oculis meis.

4 Parentes autem ejus nesciebant quod res a Domino fieret, et quæreret occasionem contra Philisthiim: eo enim tempore Philisthiim dominabantur Israëli.

5 Descendit itaque Samson cum patre suo et matre in Thamnatha. Cumque venissent ad vineas oppidi, apparuit catulus leonis sævus, et rugiens, et occurrit ei.

6 Irruit autem spiritus Domini in Samson, et dilaceravit leonem, quasi hædum in frustra discerpens, nihil omnino habens in manu: et hoc patri et matri noluit indicare.

7 Descenditque, et locutus est mulieri quæ placuerat oculis ejus.

8 Et post aliquot dies revertens ut acciperet eam, declinavit ut videret cadaver leonis, et ecce examen apum in ore leonis erat ac favus mellis.

9 Quem cum sumpsisset in manibus comedebat in via: veniensque ad patrem suum et matrem, dedit eis partem, qui et ipsi comederunt: nec tamen eis voluit indicare quod mel de corpore leonis assumpserat.

10 Descendit itaque pater ejus ad mulierem, et fecit filio suo Samson convivium: sic enim juvenes facere consueverant.

11 Cum ergo cives loci illius vidissent eum, dederunt ei sodales triginta ut essent cum eo.

12 Quibus locutus est Samson: Proponam vobis problema: quod si solveritis mihi intra septem dies convivii, dabo vobis triginta sindones, et totidem tunicas:

13 sin autem non potueritis solvere, vos dabitis mihi triginta sindones, et ejusdem numeri tunicas. Qui responderunt ei: Propone problema, ut audiamus.

14 Dixitque eis: [De comedente exivit cibus,
et de forti egressa est dulcedo.] Nec potuerunt per tres dies propositionem solvere.

15 Cumque adesset dies septimus, dixerunt ad uxorem Samson: Blandire viro tuo et suade ei ut indicet tibi quid significet problema: quod si facere nolueris, incendemus te, et domum patris tui: an idcirco vocastis nos ad nuptias ut spoliaretis?

16 Quæ fundebat apud Samson lacrimas, et quærebatur, dicens: Odisti me, et non diligis: idcirco problema, quod proposuisti filiis populi mei, non vis mihi exponere. At ille respondit: Patri meo et matri nolui dicere: et tibi indicare potero?

17 Septem igitur diebus convivii flebat ante eum: tandemque die septimo cum ei esset molesta, exposuit. Quæ statim indicavit civibus suis.

18 Et illi dixerunt ei die septimo ante solis occubitum: [Quid dulcius melle,
et quid fortius leone?] Qui ait ad eos: [Si non arassetis in vitula mea,
non invenissetis propositionem meam.]

19 Irruit itaque in eum spiritus Domini, descenditque Ascalonem, et percussit ibi triginta viros: quorum ablatas vestes dedit iis qui problema solverant. Iratusque nimis ascendit in domum patris sui:

20 uxor autem ejus accepit maritum unum de amicis ejus et pronubis.
