Jud 14:1-5.
SAMSON DESIRES A WIFE OF THE PHILISTINES.
1, 2. Timnath--now Tibna, about three miles from Zorah, his birthplace.
saw a woman . . . of the Philistines; and told his father and his mother, and said, . . . get her for me to wife--In the East parents did, and do in many cases still, negotiate the marriage alliances for their sons. During their period of ascendency, the Philistine invaders had settled in the towns; and the intercourse between them and the Israelites was often of such a friendly and familiar character as to issue in matrimonial relations. Moreover, the Philistines were not in the number of the seven devoted nations of Canaan
[De 7:1-3]
--with whom the law forbade them to marry.

3、4. 难道你弟兄的女儿中没有合适的么——即「你本支派的」——一个但支派的女子。
参孙说……给我娶那女子吧，因为我喜悦她——直译为「她在我眼中看为正」；并非因她容貌美丽、身材姣好，而是「正」、即「合乎他的目的」。这正解释了史者对其父母反对一事的评注：「他们却不知道这事是出于耶和华，因为他找机会攻击非利士人」——更准确说是「从非利士人」（即争端源于对方）。耶和华将借一连串报应的作为来摧毁非利士的势力；而祂所要使用的方法，不再是像从前士师那样以众多军队的力量，而是借以色列这位独力作战的勇士之神迹般的勇力。在这种情况下，挑起战端的缘由只能起于一场私人的争执，而这桩婚事无疑是由圣灵暗中感动所建议的，是达成预期目的的上策。

3, 4. Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren--that is, "of thine own tribe"--a Danite woman.
Samson said . . . Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well--literally, "she is right in mine eyes"; not by her beautiful countenance or handsome figure, but right or fit for his purpose. And this throws light on the historian's remark in reference to the resistance of his parents: they "knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines"--rather, "from the Philistines"--originating on their side. The Lord, by a course of retributive proceedings, was about to destroy the Philistine power, and the means which He meant to employ was not the forces of a numerous army, as in the case of the preceding judges, but the miraculous prowess of the single-handed champion of Israel. In these circumstances, the provocation to hostilities could only spring out of a private quarrel, and this marriage scheme was doubtless suggested by the secret influence of the Spirit as the best way of accomplishing the intended result.

Jud 14:5-9.
他杀死一只狮子。
5-9. 少年狮子——希伯来文指一头正值青春壮年的狮子。犹大的荒野山隘是猛兽的巢穴；圣经中所提的「狮子」大多或全部都出在这片荒野之地。他徒手撕裂杀死那毛茸茸的巨兽，是靠着圣灵「偶尔」的感动所赋予的超人勇力而成就的；借着在这些偶然私下的场合中运用这能力，他逐步受训，学会在日后那更公开的事工上信靠这能力。

Jud 14:5-9.
HE KILLS A LION.
5-9. a young lion--Hebrew, a lion in the pride of his youthful prime. The wild mountain passes of Judah were the lairs of savage beasts; and most or all the "lions" of Scripture occur in that wild country. His rending and killing the shaggy monster, without any weapon in his hand, were accomplished by that superhuman courage and strength which the occasional influences of the Spirit enabled him to put forth, and by the exertion of which, in such private incidental circumstances, he was gradually trained to confide in them for the more public work to which he was destined.

8. 过了些日子，他回去娶她——大概是过了一年，即订婚与成婚之间通常的间隔。这段期间新妇与父母同住，筹备婚事；到了时候，新郎便回来接她回家。
他转过身去看狮子的死尸，见有一群蜜蜂和蜜在死狮之内——在那样炎热的气候下，无数昆虫与猛禽的吞噬，再加上烈日的曝晒，几个月之内便使狮尸呈现出吸引蜜蜂这样爱洁净的动物的状态。

8. after a time he returned to take her--probably after the lapse of a year, the usual interval between the ceremonies of betrothal and marriage. It was spent by the bride elect with her parents in preparation for the nuptials; and at the proper time the bridegroom returned to take her home.
he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion--In such a climate, the myriads of insects and the ravages of birds of prey, together with the influences of the solar rays, would, in a few months, put the carcass in a state inviting to such cleanly animals as bees.

他的婚筵。
10、11. 他父亲下去——这里提到父亲，因他是参孙亲族的代表和首脑。
参孙在那里设摆筵席——婚宴为期一周。男女大概在不同的房间受款待——新妇与女亲在娘家；参孙则因是异乡人，另借一处地方。有大批陪伴新郎的朋友，无疑由新娘家所派，名义上是贺婚，实际上是窥探他的动静。

HIS MARRIAGE FEAST.
10, 11. his father went down--The father is mentioned as the head and representative of Samson's relatives.
Samson made there a feast--The wedding festivity lasted a week. The men and women were probably entertained in separate apartments--the bride, with her female relatives, at her parents' house; Samson, in some place obtained for the occasion, as he was a stranger. A large number of paranymphs, or "friends of the bridegroom," furnished, no doubt, by the bride's family, attended his party, ostensibly to honor the nuptials, but really as spies on his proceedings.

他的谜语。
12-18. 我要出一个谜语——谜语是东方人在这一类喜庆宴席上最喜爱的游戏，常以奖品赠给猜中的人。参孙的谜语关乎狮子死尸中的蜜。他所提出的奖品，是三十件细麻衣，并三十套换衣，大概是毛织的。众人用了三天，徒然尝试解开这谜。到了宴席的第七日快到时，他们暗中请动了新妇；她得了秘密，便告诉了她的同伴。

HIS RIDDLE.
12-18. I will now put forth a riddle--Riddles are a favorite Oriental amusement at festive entertainments of this nature, and rewards are offered to those who give the solution. Samson's riddle related to honey in the lion's carcass. The prize he offered was thirty sindinim, or shirts, and thirty changes of garments, probably woolen. Three days were passed in vain attempts to unravel the enigma. The festive week was fast drawing to a close when they secretly enlisted the services of the newly married wife, who having got the secret, revealed it to her friends.

18. 你们若不用我的小母牛耕地，就不得知道我的谜语——这是借用农事的比喻：犁田不仅用公牛，也用母牛与小母牛，至今仍是如此。除掉比喻，这意思有人解为含有罪意，但大概不过指他们借助了他的妻子——一种不光彩的手段；在心胸较窄、气量较小的人看来，这甚至足以使他不再受履行约定的约束。

18. If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle--a metaphor borrowed from agricultural pursuits, in which not only oxen but cows and heifers were, and continue to be, employed in dragging the plough. Divested of metaphor, the meaning is taken by some in a criminal sense, but probably means no more than that they had resorted to the aid of his wife--an unworthy expedient, which might have been deemed by a man of less noble spirit and generosity as releasing him from the obligation to fulfil his bargain.

他杀三十个非利士人。
19、20. 下到亚实基伦，杀了他们三十个人——这城在亭拿西偏南约二十四英里；他选这地方——这选择是受圣灵所引导——大概因该城对以色列素来怀有深仇。
夺了他们的衣裳——剥取被杀之敌人的衣物，在希伯来人的战事中是从未有的习俗。

20. 参孙的妻给了他作过陪伴的伴郎——即「新郎的朋友」，在婚宴期间是参孙与新娘之间的传话人。因此他接纳她的手，乃是卑鄙的背叛之举，难免激起参孙公义的愤恨。

20. Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend--that is, "the friend of the bridegroom," who was the medium of communicating during the festivities between him and his bride. The acceptance of her hand, therefore, was an act of base treachery, that could not fail to provoke the just resentment of Samson.
Jud 14:1-5.
参孙想要一个非利士女子为妻。
1、2. 亭拿——即今日的提伯纳，距他的出生地琐拉约三英里。
看见一个……非利士人的女子，就告诉父母说，……给我娶她为妻——在东方，儿子的婚事一向由父母代为议定，许多地方至今仍是如此。在非利士人称霸的时期，入侵者已在各城定居；他们与以色列人之间的往来，往往十分友好亲密，甚至发展到通婚的关系。况且，非利士人并不属于迦南七族中那当灭之民
[申7:1-3]
——律法所禁止通婚的。
