But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 13 of Judges. The angel no longer appears, and Samson grows under the Lord’s blessing. The Spirit of the Lord begins to stir him at Mahaneh-dan. The narrative thus prepares for the series of episodes in which Samson will perform extraordinary deeds, although his personal character will remain deeply problematic. From the beginning there is a tension between the divine consecration of the judge and his impulsive decisions.

Aber sein Weib antwortete ihm: Wenn der HERR Lust hätte, uns zu töten, so hätte er das Brandopfer und Speisopfer nicht genommen von unsern Händen; er hätte uns auch nicht alles solches erzeigt noch uns solches hören lassen, wie jetzt geschehen ist.
Y su mujer le respondió: Si Jehová nos quisiera matar, no tomara de nuestras manos el holocausto y el presente, ni nos hubiera mostrado todas estas cosas, ni en tal tiempo nos habría anunciado esto.
Pero su esposa le respondió: «Si Jehová hubiera querido matarnos, no habría aceptado de nuestras manos el holocausto y la ofrenda de cereal, ni nos habría mostrado todas estas cosas, ni nos habría anunciado ahora esto».
Sa femme lui répondit: Si l'Eternel eût voulu nous faire mourir, il n'aurait pas pris de nos mains l'holocauste et l'offrande, il ne nous aurait pas fait voir tout cela, et il ne nous aurait pas maintenant fait entendre pareilles choses.
Ma la sua moglie gli disse: Se fosse piaciuto al Signore di farci morire, egli non avrebbe accettato l’olocausto, nè l’offerta dalla nostra mano, e non ci avrebbe fatte veder tutte queste cose; e in un tal tempo egli non ci avrebbe fatte intender cotali cose
Porém sua mulher lhe disse: Se o SENHOR nos quisesse matar, não aceitaria da nossa mão o holocausto e a oferta de alimentos, nem nos mostraria tudo isto, nem nos deixaria ouvir tais coisas neste tempo.
他的妻子卻對他說:「耶和華若有意要我們死,就不會從我們手中接受燔祭和素祭,不會將這一切事指示我們,這時也不會讓我們聽到這話。」
