Judges 14
Si Samson at ang Babae sa Timnah
1Isang araw, pumunta si Samson sa Timnah, at may nakita siya roon na isang dalagang Filisteo. 2Nang umuwi siya, nagkwento siya sa mga magulang niya. Sinabi niya, “May nakita ako sa Timnah na isang babaeng Filisteo. Kunin ninyo siya dahil gusto ko siyang mapangasawa.”3Pero sumagot ang mga magulang niya, “Bakit gusto mong makapag-asawa ng mula sa mga Filisteong hindi nakakakilala sa Dios? ▼
▼hindi … Dios: sa literal, ay hindi tuli.
Wala ka bang mapili sa mga kamag-anak o kababayan natin?” Sumagot si Samson sa kanyang ama, “Ah basta, siya po ang gusto kong mapangasawa.” 4Hindi pala alam ng mga magulang ni Samson na kalooban ng Panginoon ang pasya niya. Sapagkat naghahanap ang Panginoon ng pagkakataon na makipaglaban sa mga Filisteo, dahil sakop ng mga Filisteo ang Israel nang mga panahong iyon. 5Pumunta si Samson sa Timnah kasama ang mga magulang niya. Nang papunta na si Samson ▼
▼Samson: sa Septuagint, siya. Sa Hebreo, sila.
sa mga ubasan sa Timnah, bigla siyang sinalubong ng isang batang leon na umuungal. 6Pinalakas siya ng Espiritu ng Panginoon, at niluray niya ang leon sa pamamagitan ng mga kamay niya na tulad lang ng pagluray sa batang kambing. Pero hindi niya ito sinabi sa mga magulang niya. 7At pinuntahan ni Samson ang babae at nakipagkwentuhan. Nagustuhan talaga niya ang babae. 8Pagkalipas ng ilang araw, bumalik siya sa Timnah para pakasalan ang babae. Doon siya dumaan sa kinaroroonan ng pinatay niyang leon para tingnan ang bangkay nito. At nakita niya ang maraming pulot at pukyutan sa bangkay ng leon. 9Isinandok niya ang kanyang kamay sa pulot at kinain ito habang naglalakad. Nang makita niya ang kanyang magulang, binigyan niya sila ng pulot, at kinain din nila ito. Pero hindi niya sinabi sa kanila na kinuha niya ito sa bangkay ng leon.
10– 11Pumunta ang ama ni Samson sa bahay ng magiging manugang niya, at doon ay nagpa-piging si Samson ayon sa kaugalian nila na dapat gawin ng isang nobyo. Nang makita nila si Samson, binigyan siya ng 30 binatang lalaki para makasama niya. 12Sinabi ni Samson sa kanila, “May bugtong ako sa inyo. Kung mahuhulaan nʼyo ito bago matapos ang pitong araw na piging, bibigyan ko kayo ng 30 telang linen at 30 mamahaling damit. 13Pero kapag hindi nʼyo ito nahulaan, kayo ang magbibigay sa akin ng mga ito.” Sumagot sila, “Sige, sabihin mo sa amin ang bugtong mo.”
14Sinabi ni Samson,
“Mula sa nangangain, lumabas ang pagkain,
at mula sa malakas, matamis ay lumabas.”
Lumipas ang tatlong araw pero hindi nila ito mahulaan. 15Nang ikaapat na araw, kinausap nila ang asawa ni Samson, “Hikayatin mo ang asawa mo na ipagtapat niya sa iyo ang sagot sa bugtong para malaman namin. Kung hindi, susunugin ka namin pati ang sambahayan ng iyong ama. Inimbita nʼyo ba kami sa piging na ito para kunin ang mga pag-aari namin?”
16Kaya pumunta ang babae kay Samson na mangiyak-ngiyak. Sinabi niya, “Hindi mo pala ako mahal. Nagpahula ka ng bugtong sa mga kababayan ko pero hindi mo sinabi sa akin ang sagot.” Sumagot si Samson, “Hindi ko nga sinabi sa mga magulang ko, sa iyo pa kaya?” 17Mula noon, patuloy na umiyak ang babae hanggang sa ikapitong araw. Kaya sinabi na lang ni Samson sa kanya ang sagot dahil tuloy pa rin ang pangungulit niya. At ang sinabi ni Samson sa kanya ay sinabi rin niya sa kanyang kababayan. 18Kaya bago matapos ang ikapitong araw, sinagot nila ang bugtong. Sinabi nila kay Samson,
“Wala nang mas tatamis pa sa pulot, at wala nang mas lalakas pa sa leon.”
Sumagot si Samson,
“Kung hindi nʼyo pinilit ang asawa ▼
▼Kung … asawa: sa literal, Kung hindi ninyo ipinang-araro ang aking dumalagang baka.
ko,hindi nʼyo sana nalaman ang sagot.”
19Pinalakas ng Espiritu ng Panginoon si Samson. Pumunta siya sa Ashkelon at doon pinatay niya ang 30 tao at kinuha ang mga ari-arian at mga damit ng mga ito. Pagkatapos, ibinigay niya ang mga damit sa mga tao na nakasagot ng bugtong niya. Kaya umuwi siya sa magulang niya na galit na galit dahil sa nangyari. 20Ang asawa ni Samson ay ibinigay sa pangunahing abay sa kanilang kasal.
