Parallel
Judges 15
Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ᾿ ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ πυρῶν καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Σαμψων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ φέρων ἔριφον αἰγῶν καὶ εἶπεν εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκά μου εἰς τὸν κοιτῶνα καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῆς εἰσελθεῖν πρὸς αὐτήν
Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῆς εἴπας εἶπα ὅτι μισῶν ἐμίσησας αὐτήν καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτὴν τῷ συνεταίρῳ σου οὐκ ἰδοὺ ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῆς ἡ νεωτέρα κρείσσων αὐτῆς ἐστιν ἔστω δή σοι ἀντὶ αὐτῆς
“I was sure that you thoroughly hated her,” said her father, “so I gave her to one of the men who accompanied you. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her instead.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαμψων ἀθῷός εἰμι τὸ ἅπαξ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ὅτι ἐγὼ ποιῶ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν κακά
Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in doing harm to the Philistines.”
καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σαμψων καὶ συνέλαβεν τριακοσίας ἀλώπεκας καὶ ἔλαβεν λαμπάδας καὶ συνέδησεν κέρκον πρὸς κέρκον καὶ ἔθηκεν λαμπάδα μίαν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο κέρκων ἐν τῷ μέσῳ
Then Samson went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he took torches, turned the foxes tail-to-tail, and fastened a torch between each pair of tails.
καὶ ἐξῆψεν πῦρ ἐν ταῖς λαμπάσιν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς τὰ δράγματα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐνεπύρισεν τοὺς στάχυας καὶ τὰ προτεθερισμένα ἀπὸ στοιβῆς καὶ ἕως ἑστῶτος καὶ ἕως ἀμπελῶνος καὶ ἐλαίας
Then he lit the torches and released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, burning up the piles of grain and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τίς ἐποίησεν ταῦτα καὶ εἶπαν Σαμψων ὁ γαμβρὸς τοῦ Θαμναθαίου ὅτι ἔλαβεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ συνεταίρῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτὴν καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς ἐν πυρί
“Who did this?” the Philistines demanded. “It was Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite,” they were told. “For his wife was given to his companion.” So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψων ἐὰν ποιήσητε οὕτως οὐκ εὐδοκήσω ἀλλὰ τὴν ἐκδίκησίν μου ἐξ ἑνὸς καὶ ἑκάστου ὑμῶν ποιήσομαι
And Samson told them, “Because you have done this, I will not rest until I have taken vengeance upon you.”
καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ μηρὸν πληγὴν μεγάλην καὶ κατέβη καὶ κατῴκει παρὰ τῷ χειμάρρῳ ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ Ηταμ
And he struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter, and then went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam.
καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ παρενεβάλοσαν ἐπὶ τὸν Ιουδαν καὶ ἐξερρίφησαν ἐν Λεχι
Then the Philistines went up, camped in Judah, and deployed themselves near the town of Lehi.
καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ιουδα ἵνα τί ἀνέβητε ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι δῆσαι τὸν Σαμψων καὶ ποιῆσαι αὐτῷ ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν
“Why have you attacked us?” said the men of Judah. The Philistines replied, “We have come to arrest Samson and pay him back for what he has done to us.”
καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐξ Ιουδα ἐπὶ τὴν ὀπὴν τῆς πέτρας Ηταμ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Σαμψων οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι ἄρχουσιν ἡμῶν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ ἵνα τί ταῦτα ἐποίησας ἡμῖν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψων καθὼς ἐποίησαν ἡμῖν οὕτως ἐποίησα αὐτοῖς
In response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked Samson, “Do you not realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ τοῦ δῆσαί σε κατέβημεν καὶ παραδοῦναί σε εἰς χεῖρας ἀλλοφύλων καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαμψων ὀμόσατέ μοι μὴ ἀποκτεῖναί με ὑμεῖς καὶ παράδοτέ με αὐτοῖς μήποτε ἀπαντήσητε ὑμεῖς ἐν ἐμοί
But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson replied, “Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.”
καὶ ὤμοσαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες οὐχί ἀλλὰ δεσμῷ δήσομέν σε καὶ παραδώσομέν σε εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν θανάτῳ δὲ οὐ θανατώσομέν σε καὶ ἔδησαν αὐτὸν δύο καλωδίοις καινοῖς καὶ ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς πέτρας
“No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
καὶ αὐτὸς ἦλθεν ἕως Σιαγόνος καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἠλάλαξαν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδραμον εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατηύθυνεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ ἐγένοντο τὰ καλώδια τὰ ἐν τοῖς βραχίοσιν αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ στιππύον ἡνίκα ἂν ὀσφρανθῇ πυρός καὶ διελύθησαν οἱ δεσμοὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βραχιόνων αὐτοῦ
When Samson arrived in Lehi, the Philistines came out shouting against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him. The ropes on his arms became like burnt flax, and the bonds broke loose from his hands.
καὶ εὗρεν σιαγόνα ὄνου ἐρριμμένην ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῇ χιλίους ἄνδρας
He found the fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck down a thousand men.
καὶ εἶπεν Σαμψων ἐν σιαγόνι ὄνου ἐξαλείφων ἐξήλειψα αὐτούς ὅτι ἐν σιαγόνι ὄνου ἐπάταξα χιλίους ἄνδρας
Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them into heaps (note: Or I have made them into donkeys). With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men.”
καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα συνετέλεσεν λαλῶν καὶ ἔρριψεν τὴν σιαγόνα ἀπὸ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν τόπον ἐκεῖνον Ἀναίρεσις σιαγόνος
And when Samson had finished speaking, he cast the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi (note: Ramath-lehi means the hill of the jawbone.).
καὶ ἐδίψησεν σφόδρα καὶ ἐβόησεν πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἶπεν σὺ ἔδωκας ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ δούλου σου τὴν σωτηρίαν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην καὶ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι ἐν δίψει καὶ ἐμπεσοῦμαι ἐν χειρὶ τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων
And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
καὶ ἤνοιξεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ τραῦμα τῆς σιαγόνος καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ὕδατα καὶ ἔπιεν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀνέψυξεν διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Πηγὴ ἐπίκλητος σιαγόνος ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
So God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned, and he was revived. That is why he named it En-hakkore (note: En-hakkore means the spring of him who calls.), and it remains in Lehi to this day.
καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐν ἡμέραις ἀλλοφύλων ἔτη εἴκοσι
And Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
