1 Sansón bajó a Timna y vio allí a una mujer filistea.
1 Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Cuando regresó, dijo a su padre y a su madre: «He visto en Timna a una mujer filistea. Consíganmela como esposa».
2 He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as my wife.”
3 Su padre y su madre le dijeron: «¿No hay ninguna mujer entre nuestros parientes o entre todo nuestro pueblo? ¿Por qué tienes que tomar esposa entre los filisteos incircuncisos?» Pero Sansón dijo a su padre: «Consíguemela, porque ella me agrada».
3 Then his father and his mother said to him, “Isn’t there a woman among your brothers’ daughters, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
4 Su padre y su madre no sabían que esto venía del Señor, que buscaba una ocasión contra los filisteos. En aquel tiempo los filisteos dominaban a Israel.
4 But his father and his mother didn’t know that it was of Yahweh; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.
5 Sansón bajó a Timna con su padre y su madre. Cuando llegaron a los viñedos de Timna, un león joven salió rugiendo hacia Sansón.
5 Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.
6 El Espíritu del Señor vino sobre él con poder. Aunque no tenía ningún arma, Sansón despedazó al león como si fuera un cabrito. Pero no contó a su padre ni a su madre lo que había hecho.
6 Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he didn’t tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Luego bajó y habló con la mujer, y ella siguió agradándole.
7 He went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
8 Tiempo después, cuando volvió para casarse con ella, se apartó del camino para ver el cuerpo del león. Encontró allí un grupo de abejas y miel dentro del cuerpo.
8 After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 Sacó miel con las manos y fue comiéndola mientras caminaba. Cuando llegó donde estaban su padre y su madre, les dio también a ellos, pero no les dijo que había sacado la miel del cuerpo del león.
9 He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. He came to his father and mother and gave to them, and they ate, but he didn’t tell them that he had taken the honey out of the lion’s body.
10 El padre de Sansón bajó a ver a la mujer, y Sansón hizo allí una fiesta, como acostumbraban hacer los jóvenes.
10 His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
11 Treinta jóvenes estuvieron allí para acompañarlo.
11 When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Sansón les dijo: «Voy a proponerles un acertijo. Si me dan la respuesta durante los siete días de la fiesta, les daré treinta ropas de lino y treinta cambios de ropa.
12 Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
13 Pero si no pueden responder, ustedes me darán treinta ropas de lino y treinta cambios de ropa». Ellos dijeron: «Dinos tu acertijo; queremos oírlo».
13 but if you can’t tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.”
14 Sansón dijo: «Del que come salió comida, y del fuerte salió dulzura». Después de tres días todavía no podían encontrar la respuesta.
14 He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.
15 Al cuarto día dijeron a la esposa de Sansón: «Engaña a tu esposo para que te diga la respuesta del acertijo. Si no lo haces, te quemaremos a ti y a la casa de tu padre. ¿Nos invitaron aquí para quitarnos lo que tenemos?»
15 On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”
16 La esposa de Sansón lloró delante de él y dijo: «Tú me odias; no me amas. Has propuesto un acertijo a los jóvenes de mi pueblo y no me has dicho la respuesta». Sansón respondió: «Ni siquiera se la he dicho a mi padre ni a mi madre. ¿Por qué tendría que decírtela a ti?»
16 Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”
17 Ella lloró delante de él durante los siete días de la fiesta. Al séptimo día Sansón le dio la respuesta porque ella no lo dejaba en paz. Entonces ella contó la respuesta a los hombres de su pueblo.
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 El séptimo día, antes de que Sansón entrara en la habitación de la novia, los hombres de la ciudad le dijeron: «¿Qué es más dulce que la miel? ¿Qué es más fuerte que un león?» Sansón respondió: «Si no hubieran arado con mi ternera, no habrían encontrado la respuesta a mi acertijo».
18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t plowed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”
19 Entonces el Espíritu del Señor vino sobre él con poder. Sansón bajó a Ascalón, mató allí a treinta hombres, tomó sus ropas y las dio a quienes habían respondido el acertijo. Luego, lleno de ira, regresó a la casa de su padre.
19 Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 La esposa de Sansón fue entregada al compañero que lo había acompañado en la boda.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
