OET interlinear HERO (JDG) 14:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

יָבֹ֣א

went_down

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [went down]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־מָּת֣וֹק מִ⁠דְּבַ֔שׁ וּ⁠מֶ֥ה עַ֖ז מֵ⁠אֲרִ֑י

what? (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it men_of the=city in_the=day the=seventh before,before went_down (to),the,sun what? sweeter more,than_honey and,what? stronger more,than_a_lion and=he/it_said to/for=them if_~_not plowed with,heifer_of,my not found_out riddle_of,my )

The Philistine young men are using the question form to give the answer to Samson’s riddle triumphantly. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Nothing is sweeter than honey, and nothing is stronger than a lion!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לוּלֵא֙ חֲרַשְׁתֶּ֣ם בְּ⁠עֶגְלָתִ֔⁠י

if_~_not (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it men_of the=city in_the=day the=seventh before,before went_down (to),the,sun what? sweeter more,than_honey and,what? stronger more,than_a_lion and=he/it_said to/for=them if_~_not plowed with,heifer_of,my not found_out riddle_of,my )

Samson is speaking as if the Philistine young men had literally plowed with a heifer that he owned. He is using the heifer to represent his wife, with the suggestion that they had no business using her in the way they did. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [If you had not gotten the answer from my wife]
