Judges 14:1-19 in Kannada

1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.

14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.

1 ಸಂಸೋನನು ತಿಮ್ನಾಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ತಿಮ್ನಾ ದೊಳಗೆ ಪಿಲಿಷ್ಟಿಯರ ಕುಮಾರ್ತೆಯರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

2 ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆತಾಯಿಗಳ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ--ನಾನು ತಿಮ್ನಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಫಿಲಿಷ್ಟಿಯರ ಕುರ್ಮಾತೆಯರೊಳಗೆ ಒಬ್ಬ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದೆನು. ಈಗ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಹೆಂಡತಿಯಾಗುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನನಗೆ ತಕ್ಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ ಅಂದನು.
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

3 ಆಗ ಅವನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿಯೂ ಅವನಿಗೆ--ನಿನಗೆ ಸುನ್ನತಿ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಫಿಲಿಷ್ಟಿ ಯರಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋ ದರರ ಕುಮಾರ್ತೆಯರಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜನರ ಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ ಇಲ್ಲವೋ ಅಂದರು. ಆದರೆ ಸಂಸೋನನು ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಗೆ--ಅವಳನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೋ; ಅವಳು ನನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿದ್ದಾಳೆ ಅಂದನು.
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

4 ಇದು ಕರ್ತನಿಂದ ಉಂಟಾಯಿತೆಂದು ಅವನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಂದಿರು ಅರಿ ಯದೆ ಇದ್ದರು. ಏನಂದರೆ ಫಿಲಿಷ್ಟಿಯರಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧ ವಾಗಿ ಅವನು ಕಾರಣವನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಿದನು. ಆ ಕಾಲ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಫಿಲಿಷ್ಟಿಯರು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲ್ಯರನ್ನೂ ಆಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

5 ಆಗ ಸಂಸೋನನೂ ಅವನ ತಂದೆತಾಯಿಯೂ ತಿಮ್ನಾಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರು ತಿಮ್ನಾದ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷೇ ತೋಟಗಳ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಇಗೋ, ಪ್ರಾಯದ ಸಿಂಹವು ಅವನ ಎದುರಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಗರ್ಜಿಸಿತು.
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

6 ಆಗ ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ ಕರ್ತನ ಆತ್ಮವು ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಂದದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅದನ್ನು ಒಂದು ಮೇಕೆ ಮರಿಯ ಹಾಗೆ ಸೀಳಿಬಿಟ್ಟನು. ಆದರೆ ಅವನು ತಾನು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆತಾಯಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.
And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

7 ಅವನು ಹೋಗಿ ಆ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯ ಸಂಗಡ ಮಾತನಾ ಡಿದನು. ಅವಳು ಸಂಸೋನನ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪುವವಳಾ ಗಿದ್ದಳು.
And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

8 ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಸಮಯವಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವನು ಅವಳನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕೆ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಬರುವಾಗ ಸಿಂಹದ ಹೆಣವನ್ನು ನೋಡಲು ಪಕ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದನು. ಇಗೋ, ಸಿಂಹದ ಹೆಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಜೇನು ಹುಳಗಳೂ ಜೇನೂ ಇದ್ದವು.
And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

9 ಅದನ್ನು ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಕೈಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ತಿನ್ನುತ್ತಾ ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿಗಳ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಅವರಿಗೂ ಕೊಟ್ಟನು; ಅವರೂ ತಿಂದರು. ಆದರೆ ಸಿಂಹದ ಹೆಣದಲ್ಲಿ ತಾನು ಜೇನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡೆನೆಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

10 ಅವನ ತಂದೆಯು ಆ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ ಇರುವ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಯೌವನಸ್ಥರು ಮಾಡುವ ಮರ್ಯಾದೆಯ ಹಾಗೆ, ಸಂಸೋನನು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಔತಣಮಾಡಿಸಿದನು.
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

11 ತರು ವಾಯ ಅವರು ಅವನನ್ನು ನೋಡಲಾಗಿ ಅವನ ಸಂಗಡ ಇರುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೂವತ್ತು ಮಂದಿ ಸಂಗಡಿಗರನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

12 ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸಂಸೋನನು--ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಒಂದು ಒಗಟನ್ನು ಹೇಳುವೆನು; ನೀವು ಅದನ್ನು ಔತಣದ ಈ ಏಳು ದಿವಸಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಗ್ರಹಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ನನಗೆ ಅದರ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದರೆ ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಮೂವತ್ತು ದುಪ್ಪಟಿಗಳನ್ನೂ ಮೂವತ್ತು ದುಸ್ತು ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಡುವೆನು.
And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

13 ಅದರ ಅರ್ಥವನ್ನು ನೀವು ನನಗೆ ಹೇಳದೆ ಹೋದರೆ ನೀವು ನನಗೆ ಮೂವತ್ತು ದುಪ್ಪಟಿಗಳನ್ನೂ ಮೂವತ್ತು ದುಸ್ತುವಸ್ತ್ರ ಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಡಬೇಕು ಅಂದನು. ಅವರು ಅವನಿಗೆನೀನು ನಿನ್ನ ಒಗಟನ್ನು ಹೇಳು, ಅದನ್ನು ಕೇಳೋಣ ಅಂದರು.
But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.

14 ಆಗ ಅವನು ಅವರಿಗೆ--ತಿನ್ನುವಂಥದ್ದರಿಂದ ತಿನ್ನ ತಕ್ಕದ್ದು ಹೊರಟಿತು, ಬಲವಾದದ್ದರಿಂದ ಸಿಹಿಯು ಹೊರಟಿತು ಅಂದನು.
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

15 ಒಗಟನ್ನು ಅವರು ಮೂರು ದಿವಸ ಬಿಡಿಸಲಾರದೆ ಹೋದರು. ಏಳನೇ ದಿವಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಆದದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ, ಅವರು ಸಂಸೋನನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಗೆ ನಾವು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನೂ ನಿನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ಮನೆಯನ್ನೂ ಬೆಂಕಿ ಯಿಂದ ಸುಟ್ಟು ಬಿಡದಹಾಗೆ ನೀನು ನಿನ್ನ ಗಂಡನ ಆ ಒಗಟನ್ನು ನಮಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಮರುಳುಗೊಳಿಸು. ನೀನು ನಮಗೆ ಉಂಟಾದದ್ದನ್ನು ಕಸಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕಲ್ಲವೇ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕರೆಸಿದಿ ಅಂದರು.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

16 ಆಗ ಸಂಸೋನನ ಹೆಂಡತಿ ಅವನ ಮುಂದೆ ಅತ್ತು--ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಮಾಡದೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹಗೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೀ. ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಜನರ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಒಗಟನ್ನು ಹೇಳಿ ಅದನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸದೆ ಹೋದಿ ಅಂದಳು. ಅವನು ಅವಳಿಗೆ--ಇಗೋ, ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅದನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ; ನಿನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುವೆನೋ? ಅಂದನು.
And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

17 ಅವರಿಗೆ ಔತಣ ಇದ್ದ ಏಳು ದಿವಸಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನ ಮುಂದೆ ಅವಳು ಅತ್ತಳು. ಆದರೆ ಏಳನೇ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವಳು ಅವನನ್ನು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಪೀಡಿಸಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವಳಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದನು. ಆಗ ಆಕೆ ತನ್ನ ಜನರ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಆ ಒಗಟನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಿದಳು.
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

18 ಆದದ ರಿಂದ ಏಳನೇ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೂರ್ಯನು ಮುಳುಗುವದ ಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಮುಂಚೆ ಆ ಊರಿನವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ಜೇನಿಗಿಂತ ಸಿಹಿಯಾದದ್ದೇನು? ಸಿಂಹಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಬಲವಾದದ್ದೇನು? ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು. ಅವನು ಅವರಿಗೆ--ನೀವು ನನ್ನ ಕಡಸಿನಿಂದ ಉಳದಿದ್ದರೆ ನನ್ನ ಒಗಟನ್ನು ಗ್ರಹಿಸಲಾರಿರಿ ಅಂದನು.
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

19 ಕರ್ತನ ಆತ್ಮವು ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಂದದ್ದ ರಿಂದ ಅವನು ಅಷ್ಕೆಲೋನಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಆ ಊರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂವತ್ತು ಜನರನ್ನು ವಧಿಸಿ ಸುಲುಕೊಂಡು ಒಗಟನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಿದವರಿಗೆ ದುಸ್ತುವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
