Judges 14	Juges 14
Judges 14:1 Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines;	Juges 14:1 Samson descendit à Thimna, et il y vit une femme parmi les filles des Philistins.
Judges 14:2 And when he came back he said to his father and mother, I have seen a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines: get her now for me for my wife.	Juges 14:2 Lorsqu`il fut remonté, il le déclara à son père et à sa mère, et dit: J`ai vu à Thimna une femme parmi les filles des Philistins; prenez-la maintenant pour ma femme.
Judges 14:3 Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.	Juges 14:3 Son père et sa mère lui dirent: N`y a-t-il point de femme parmi les filles de tes frères et dans tout notre peuple, que tu ailles prendre une femme chez les Philistins, qui sont incirconcis? Et Samson dit à son père: Prends-la pour moi, car elle me plaît.
Judges 14:4 Now his father and mother had no knowledge that this was the purpose of the Lord, who had the destruction of the Philistines in mind. Now the Philistines at that time were ruling over Israel.	Juges 14:4 Son père et sa mère ne savaient pas que cela venait de l`Éternel: car Samson cherchait une occasion de dispute de la part des Philistins. En ce temps là, les Philistins dominaient sur Israël.
Judges 14:5 Then Samson went down to Timnah (and his father and his mother,) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at him.	Juges 14:5 Samson descendit avec son père et sa mère à Thimna. Lorsqu`ils arrivèrent aux vignes de Thimna, voici, un jeune lion rugissant vint à sa rencontre.
Judges 14:6 And the spirit of the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of what he had done.)	Juges 14:6 L`esprit de l`Éternel saisit Samson; et, sans avoir rien à la main, Samson déchira le lion comme on déchire un chevreau. Il ne dit point à son père et à sa mère ce qu`il avait fait.
Judges 14:7 So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.	Juges 14:7 Il descendit et parla à la femme, et elle lui plut.
Judges 14:8 Then after a time he went back to take her; and turning from the road to see the dead body of the lion, he saw a mass of bees in the body of the lion, and honey there.	Juges 14:8 Quelque temps après, il se rendit de nouveau à Thimna pour la prendre, et se détourna pour voir le cadavre du lion. Et voici, il y avait un essaim d`abeilles et du miel dans le corps du lion.
Judges 14:9 And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.	Juges 14:9 Il prit entre ses mains le miel, dont il mangea pendant la route; et lorsqu`il fut arrivé près de son père et de sa mère, il leur en donna, et ils en mangèrent. Mais il ne leur dit pas qu`il avait pris ce miel dans le corps du lion.
Judges 14:10 Then Samson went down to the woman, and made a feast there, as was the way among young men.	Juges 14:10 Le père de Samson descendit chez la femme. Et là, Samson fit un festin, car c`était la coutume des jeunes gens.
Judges 14:11 And he took thirty friends, and they were with him.	Juges 14:11 Dès qu`on le vit, on invita trente compagnons qui se tinrent avec lui.
Judges 14:12 And Samson said, Now I have a hard question for you: if you are able to give me the answer before the seven days of the feast are over, I will give you thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing;	Juges 14:12 Samson leur dit: Je vais vous proposer une énigme. Si vous me l`expliquez pendant les sept jours du festin, et si vous la découvrez, je vous donnerai trente chemises et trente vêtements de rechange.
Judges 14:13 But if you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.	Juges 14:13 Mais si vous ne pouvez pas me l`expliquer, ce sera vous qui me donnerez trente chemises et trente vêtements de rechange. Ils lui dirent: Propose ton énigme, et nous l`écouterons.
Judges 14:14 And he said, Out of the taker of food came food, and out of the strong came the sweet. And at the end of three days they were still not able to give the answer.	Juges 14:14 Et il leur dit: De celui qui mange est sorti ce qui se mange, et du fort est sorti le doux. Pendant trois jours, ils ne purent expliquer l`énigme.
Judges 14:15 So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?	Juges 14:15 Le septième jour, ils dirent à la femme de Samson: Persuade à ton mari de nous expliquer l`énigme; sinon, nous te brûlerons, toi et la maison de ton père. C`est pour nous dépouiller que vous nous avez invités, n`est-ce pas?
Judges 14:16 Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?	Juges 14:16 La femme de Samson pleurait auprès de lui, et disait: Tu n`as pour moi que de la haine, et tu ne m`aimes pas; tu as proposé une énigme aux enfants de mon peuple, et tu ne me l`as point expliquée! Et il lui répondait: Je ne l`ai expliquée ni à mon père ni à ma mère; est-ce à toi que je l`expliquerais?
Judges 14:17 And all the seven days of the feast she went on weeping over him; and on the seventh day he gave her the answer, because she gave him no peace; and she sent word of it to the children of her people.	Juges 14:17 Elle pleura auprès de lui pendant les sept jours que dura leur festin; et le septième jour, il la lui expliqua, car elle le tourmentait. Et elle donna l`explication de l`énigme aux enfants de son peuple.
Judges 14:18 Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer to my question.	Juges 14:18 Les gens de la ville dirent à Samson le septième jour, avant le coucher du soleil: Quoi de plus doux que le miel, et quoi de plus fort que le lion? Et il leur dit: Si vous n`aviez pas labouré avec ma génisse, vous n`auriez pas découvert mon énigme.
Judges 14:19 And the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and, attacking thirty men there, took their clothing from them, and gave it to the men who had given the answer to his hard question. Then, full of wrath, he went back to his father's house.	Juges 14:19 L`esprit de l`Éternel le saisit, et il descendit à Askalon. Il y tua trente hommes, prit leurs dépouilles, et donna les vêtements de rechange à ceux qui avaient expliqué l`énigme. Il était enflammé de colère, et il monta à la maison de son père.
Judges 14:20 But Samson's wife was given to the friend who had been his best man.	Juges 14:20 Sa femme fut donnée à l`un de ses compagnons, avec lequel il était lié.
