  1 G2532 And G2597 Samson went down G*   G1519 unto G* Timnath, G2532 and G1492 he saw G1135 a woman G1722 in G* Timnath G1537 from G3588 the G2364 daughters G3588 of the G246 Philistines.

  2 G2532 And G305 he ascended, G2532 and G518 reported G3588 to G3962 his father G1473   G2532 and G3588 to G3384 his mother. G1473   G2532 And G2036 he said, G1135 [²a woman G3708 ¹I have seen] G1722 in G* Timnath G575 from G3588 the G2364 daughters G3588 of the G246 Philistines. G2532 And G3568 now G2983 take G1473 her G1473 to me G1519 for G1135 wife!

  3 G2532 And G2036 [²said G1473 ³to him G3588   G3962 ¹his father], G1473   G2532 and G3588   G3384 his mother, G1473   G3756 Is it that there is not G1510.2.3   G575 [²of G3588 ³the G2364 ⁴daughters G3588   G80 ⁵of your brethren G1473   G2532 ⁶and G1537 ⁷among G3956 ⁸all G3588   G2992 ⁹my people G1473   G1135 ¹a woman], G3754 that G1473 you G4198 should go G2983 to take G1135 a wife G1537 from G3588 the G246 [²Philistines G3588   G564 ¹uncircumcised]? G2532 And G2036 Samson said G*   G4314 to G3588   G3962 his father, G1473   G3778 Take this one G2983   G1473 for me! G3754 for G3778 she G700 pleases G1722 in G3788 my eyes. G1473  

  4 G2532 And G3588   G3962 his father G1473   G2532 and G3588   G3384 his mother G1473   G3756 did not G1097 know G3754 that G3844 [²from G2962 ³ the lord G1510.2.3 ¹it is], G3754 that G468 [³recompense G1473 ¹he G1567 ²required] G1537 of G3588 the G246 Philistines. G2532 And G1722 in G3588   G2540 that time G1565   G3588 the G246 Philistines G2961 dominated G3588 the G5207 sons G* of Israel.

  5 G2532 And G2597 Samson went down, G*   G2532 and G3588   G3962 his father G1473   G2532 and G3588   G3384 his mother G1473   G1519 unto G* Timnath. G2532 And G2064 he came G1519 to G3588 the G290 vineyards G* of Timnath. G2532 And G2400 behold, G4661.1 a cub G3023 of a lion G5612 was roaring G1519 in G529 meeting G1473 him.

  6 G2532 And G2720 [³straightened G1909 ⁴upon G1473 ⁵him G4151 ¹spirit G2962 ² of the lord], G2532 and G1288 he tore it apart G1473   G5613 as G2056 a kid G137.1 of the goats, G2532 and G3762 nothing G1510.7.3 was G1722 in G3588   G5495 his hand. G1473   G2532 And G3756 he did not G518 report G3588 to G3962 his father G1473   G2532 and G3588 to G3384 his mother G1473   G3739 what G4160 he did.

  7 G2532 And G2597 they went down G2532 and G2980 spoke G3588 to the G1135 woman, G2532 and G700 she was pleasing G1799 before G* Samson.

  8 G2532 And G5290 he returned G3326 after G2250 some days G2983 to take G1473 her, G2532 and G1578 he turned aside G1492 to behold G3588 the G4430 carcass G3588 of the G3023 lion. G2532 And G2400 behold, G4963 a swarm G3193.1 as of an apiary of bees G1722 was in G3588 the G4750 mouth G3588 of the G3023 lion, G2532 and G3192 honey.

  9 G2532 And G1807 he took of G1473 it G1519 into G3588   G4750 his mouth, G1473   G2532 and G4198 went forth G4198 going G2532 and G2068 eating. G2532 And G4198 he went G4314 to G3588   G3962 his father G1473   G2532 and G4314 to G3588   G3384 his mother, G1473   G2532 and G1325 he gave G1473 to them, G2532 and G2068 they ate, G2532 and G3756 he did not G312 announce G1473 to them G3754 that G1537 [⁴from G3588 ⁵the G1838 ⁶manner G3588 ⁷of the G3023 ⁸lion G1807 ¹he took G3588 ²the G3192 ³honey].

  10 G2532 And G2597 [²went down G3588   G3962 ¹his father] G1473   G4314 to G3588 the G1135 woman, G2532 and G4160 [²prepared G1563 ³there G* ¹Samson] G4224 a banquet G2033 for seven G2250 days; G3754 for G3779 thus G4160 [³did G3588 ¹the G3495 ²young men].

  11 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G1722 in G3588   G5399 their fearing G1473   G1473 him, G2532 that G4339.5 they posted in front G1473 to him G5144 thirty G2083 companions, G2532 and G1510.7.6 they were G3326 with G1473 him.

  12 G2532 And G2036 [²said G1473 ³to them G* ¹Samson], G4261 I will propound G1211 indeed G1473 to you G3588   G4265.1 a riddle, G2532 and G1437 if G518 by reporting G518 you should report G1473 it to me G1473   G1722 in G3588 the G2033 seven G2250 days G3588 of the G4224 banquet, G2532 and G2147 you should find the solution, G1325 I will give G1473 to you G5144 thirty pieces G4616 of fine linen, G2532 and G5144 thirty G4749 robes G2440 of clothes.

  13 G2532 And G1437 if G3361 you should not G1410 be able G518 to report the solution G1473 to me, G2532 then G1325 you shall give G1473 to me yourselves G1473   G5144 thirty pieces G4616 of fine linen, G2532 and G5144 thirty G4749 robes G2440 of clothes. G2532 And G2036 they said G1473 to him, G4261 Propound G3588   G4265.1 your riddle, G1473   G2532 and G191 we shall hear G1473 it!

  14 G2532 And G2036 he said G1473 to them, G1537 From G3588 the one G2068 eating G1831 came forth G1035 food, G2532 and G1537 from G2478 the strong G1831 came forth G1099 sweetness. G2532 And G3756 they were not able G1410   G518 to explain G3588 the G4265.1 riddle G1909 for G5140 three G2250 days.

  15 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G1722 in G3588 the G2250 [²day G3588   G1442 ¹seventh], G2532 and G2036 they spoke G3588 to the G1135 wife G* of Samson, saying, G538 Deceive G1211 indeed G3588   G435 your husband! G1473   G2532 and G518 let him explain G1473 to you G3588 the G4265.1 riddle, G3379 lest at any time G1716.1 we should burn G1473 you G2532 and G3588 the G3624 house G3588   G3962 of your father G1473   G1722 by G4442 fire; G2228 or G4433 [³to make us poor G2564 ¹did you call G1473 ²us]?

  16 G2532 And G2799 [⁴wept G3588 ¹the G1135 ²wife G* ³of Samson] G4314 to G1473 him, G2532 and G2036 said G1473 to him, G3404 You detest G1473 me, G2532 and G3756 do not G25 love G1473 me, G3754 because G3588 the G4265.1 riddle G3739 which G4261 you propounded G3588 to the G5207 sons G3588   G2992 of my people, G1473   G3756 you did not G518 explain G2532 even G1473 it to me. G1473   G2532 And G2036 [²said G1473 ³to her G* ¹Samson], G2400 Behold, G3588 to G3962 my father G1473   G2532 and G3588 to G3384 my mother G1473   G3756 I did not G518 report G1473 it, G2532 and G1473 should I report to you?
