1 Algún tiempo después durante la siega, Sansón tomó un cabrito para llevarlo como presente a su prometida, con la intención de consumar el matrimonio con ella, pero el padre de ella no lo dejó entrar.
1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I will go in to my wife’s room.” But her father wouldn’t allow him to go in.
2 ―Yo pensé que tú la odiabas —le explicó—, así que la di en matrimonio a tu amigo. Pero mira, su hermana es más hermosa que ella. Cásate con ella.
2 Her father said, “I most certainly thought that you utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.”
3 Sansón estaba furioso: ―No puedes culparme por lo que ahora va a ocurrir —le dijo.
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in the case of the Philistines when I harm them.”
4 Entonces salió y cazó trescientas zorras y ató sus colas por pares. Puso luego antorchas entre cada dos colas
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails.
5 y las encendió, y echó las zorras por los campos de los filisteos, haciendo que se incendiara el trigo cortado y en pie, los viñedos y los olivos.
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
6 «¿Quién hizo esto?» —preguntaron los filisteos. «Sansón —fue la respuesta—, porque el padre de su prometida hizo que ella se casara con otro hombre». Entonces los filisteos vinieron, tomaron a la muchacha y a su padre y los quemaron vivos.
6 Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
7 «Ahora se hará sentir nuevamente mi venganza» —juró Sansón.
7 Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”
8 Acto seguido, los atacó con furia y mató a muchos de ellos. Luego se fue a vivir en una caverna en la roca de Etam.
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cave in Etam’s rock.
9 Los filisteos a su vez subieron a acampar en Judá e incursionaron sobre Lehí.
9 Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 ―¿Por qué han venido aquí? —preguntaron los hombres de Judá. Y los filisteos respondieron: ―A capturar a Sansón y a hacerle lo que él nos ha hecho a nosotros.
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
11 Tres mil hombres de Judá fueron a buscar a Sansón a la cueva que está en la roca de Etam. ―¿Qué es lo que nos estás haciendo? —le preguntaron—. ¿No comprendes que los filisteos son los que nos gobiernan? Pero Sansón respondió: ―Solamente les pagué por lo que me hicieron.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in Etam’s rock, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?” He said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
12 ―Hemos venido a capturarte y entregarte a los filisteos —dijeron los hombres de Judá. ―Muy bien —dijo Sansón—, pero prométanme que no me matarán ustedes. ―No —le respondieron—, no haremos tal cosa. Lo ataron con dos cuerdas nuevas y se lo llevaron.
12 They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”

13 They spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will bind you securely and deliver you into their hands; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14 Cuando Sansón y sus captores llegaron a Lehí, los filisteos gritaron de alegría. Pero el Espíritu del Señor vino sobre Sansón y las cuerdas con que estaba atado se rompieron como hilos y cayeron de sus muñecas.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burned with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15 Entonces tomó una quijada de burro que estaba en el suelo y mató a mil filisteos con ella.
15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, put out his hand, took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
16 Mientras arrojaba la quijada dijo: «Con una quijada de burro he hecho montón y montones. Con una quijada de burro he batido a mil hombres». El lugar fue llamado Ramat Lehí (Colina de la quijada).
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
17 Not in this translation
17 When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18 Como tuvo sed, oró al Señor: ―Le has dado a Israel una maravillosa liberación por medio de mí en este día, ¿debo ahora morir de sed y quedar a merced de estos filisteos?
18 He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
19 Entonces el Señor hizo que brotara agua del suelo y Sansón recobró fuerzas mientras bebía. Entonces puso al lugar el nombre de Enacoré (Fuente del que clamó), y allí está todavía aquel manantial.
19 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20 Durante los veinte años siguientes, Sansón gobernó a Israel, pero los filisteos todavía dominaban el país.
20 He judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
