1. Post aliquantum autem tem poris, cum dies triticeae mes sis instarent, venit Samson invisere volens uxorem suam et attulit ei haedum de capris. Cumque ad eam vellet intrare, prohibuit eum pater illius

1. After a while, at the time of wheat harvest, Samson went to visit his wife with a kid; and he said, "I will go in to my wife in the chamber." But her father would not allow him to go in.

2. dicens: “Putavi quod odisses eam et ideo tradidi illam amico tuo; sed habet sororem iuniorem, quae pulchrior illa est; sit tibi pro ea uxor”.

2. And her father said, "I really thought that you utterly hated her; so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Pray take her instead."

3. Dixitque eis Samson: “Hac vice non erit culpa in me contra Philisthaeos, cum faciam eis mala”.

3. And Samson said to them, "This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines, when I do them mischief."

4. Perrexitque et cepit trecentas vulpes caudasque earum iunxit ad caudas sumensque faces ligavit singulas in medio binarum caudarum;

4. So Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches; and he turned them tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails.

5. facibusque igne succensis, dimisit vulpes in segetes Philisthinorum. Et comportatae iam fruges et adhuc stantes in stipula concrematae sunt in tantum, ut vineas quoque et oliveta flamma consumeret.

5. And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards.

6. Dixeruntque Philisthim: “Quis fecit hanc rem?”. Quibus dictum est: “Samson gener Thamnathaei, quia tulit uxorem eius et alteri tradidit, haec operatus est”. Ascenderuntque Philisthim et combusserunt tam mulierem quam patrem eius.

6. Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.

7. Quibus ait Samson: “Si talia facitis, utique ex vobis expetam ultionem et tunc quiescam”.

7. And Samson said to them, "If this is what you do, I swear I will be avenged upon you, and after that I will quit."

8. Percussitque eos ingenti plaga, suram ad femur. Et descendens habitavit in spelunca petrae Etam.

8. And he smote them hip and thigh with great slaughter; and he went down and stayed in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

9. Igitur ascendentes Philisthim in terra Iudae castrametati sunt, et in Lehi (id est Maxilla) eorum est fusus exercitus.

9. Then the Philistines came up and encamped in Judah, and made a raid on Lehi.

10. Dixeruntque ad eos viri de tribu Iudae: “Cur ascendistis adversum nos?”. Qui responderunt: “Ut ligemus Samson venimus et reddamus ei, quae in nos operatus est”.

10. And 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 did to us."

11. Descenderunt ergo tria milia virorum de Iuda ad specum petrae Etam dixeruntque ad Samson: “Nescis quod Philisthim imperent nobis? Quare hoc nobis facere voluisti?”. Quibus ille ait: “Sicut fecerunt mihi, feci eis”.

11. Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."

12. “Ligare, inquiunt, te venimus et tradere in manus Philisthinorum”. “Iurate, respondit, mihi quod non me occidatis”.

12. And they said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves."

13. Dixerunt: “Non te occidemus, sed vinctum trademus”. Ligaveruntque eum duobus novis funibus et tulerunt de petra Etam.

13. They said to him, "No; we will only bind you and give you into their hands; we will not kill you." So they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.

14. Qui cum venisset in Lehi, et Philisthim vociferantes occurrissent ei, irruit spiritus Domini in eum, et, sicut solent ad odorem ignis lina consumi, ita vincula, quibus brachia eius ligata erant, dissipata sunt et soluta.

14. When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes which were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands.

15. Inventamque maxillam asini recentem arripiens percussit in ea mille viros

15. And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put out his hand and seized it, and with it he slew a thousand men.

16. et ait: “In maxilla asini acervum feci ex eis! In mandibula asini percussi mille viros!”.

16. And Samson said, "With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men."

17. Cumque haec canens verba complesset, proiecit mandibulam de manu et vocavit nomen loci illius Ramathlehi (quod interpretatur Elevatio maxillae).

17. When he had finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ra'math-le'hi.

18. Sitiensque valde clamavit ad Dominum et ait: “Tu dedisti in manu servi tui salutem hanc maximam atque victoriam; et en siti morior incidamque in manus incircumcisorum”.

18. And he was very thirsty, and he called on the LORD and said, "Thou hast granted this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant; and shall I now die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?"

19. Aperuit itaque Deus fossam in Lehi, et egressae sunt inde aquae; quibus haustis, refocillavit spiritum et vires recepit. Idcirco appellatum est nomen fontis illius fons Invocantis, qui est in Lehi usque in praesentem diem.

19. And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and there came water from it; and when he drank, his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkor'e; it is at Lehi to this day.

20. Iudicavitque Israel in diebus Philisthim viginti annis.

20. And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
