Bisisu 16
1 Eso afaega, Sa: masane da Filisidini moilai bai bagade ea dio Ga: isa amoga asili, wadela: i hamosu uda gousa: i. E da amo uda gilisili golai.
One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
2 Ga: isa dunu fi da Sa: masane da esalebe nababeba: le, ilia da amo moilai bai bagade sisiga: le, moilai logo ga: su amoga e gagumusa: oulelu. Ilia da gasi ganodini ouiya: le lelu. Ilia agoane dawa: iou, “Ninia da oulelu, hahabedafa Sa: masane medole legemu.”
When the Gazites heard that Samson was there, they surrounded that place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They were quiet throughout the night, saying, “Let us wait until dawn; then we will kill him.”
3 Be Sa: masane da golale, gasimogoa wa: legadole, e da moilai logo ga: su bagade (ga: su huluane, ifa amola logo huluane) amo mugululi fasili, gisawane, agolo amoga dunu da Hibalone moilai bai bagade ba: su, amoga gaguli asi.
But Samson lay there only until midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain overlooking Hebron.
4 Amalalu, Sa: masane da uda Solege fago amo ganodini esalu ea dio amo Dilaila, ema asigiba: le, lamusa: dawa: iou.
Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Filisidini hina bagade biyale gala da Dilaila ema misini, amane sia: i, “Di Sa: masane hohonoma. Ninia da habodane e lale, la: gima: ne amola ea hou amoga hasalasima: ne, amo hogoi helema. Amalalu, ninia afae afae dima 1,100 silifa fage imunu.”
The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”
6 Amaiba: le, Dilaila da Sa: masanema amane sia: i, “Na da dima edegesa. Dia gasa bagade hou da habidili mahabela: ? Dunu da di la: gili, dia gasa hedofamusa: da habodane hamoma: bela: ?”
So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
7 Sa: masane da bu adole i, “Ilia da gahe hame bioi gaheabolo dadi gosalo fesuale gala amoga na la: gisia, na da dunu eno defele gasa hame ba: mu.”
Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man.”
8 Amaiba: le, Filisidini hina bagade da Dilaila ema gahe hame bioi gaheabolo dadi gosalo fesuale gaguli misi. Amoga, e da Sa: masane la: gi dagoi.
So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
9 Dilaila da sia: beba: le, dunu eno da diasu la: ididili sesei ganodini wamo ouesalebe ba: i. E gasa bagade wele sia: i, “Sa: masane! Filisidini dunu da manebe goea!” Be Sa: masane da amo dadi gosalo hedolo fi. Ilia da gobea ha: i laluga nei dibi agoane hedolowane fi. Amaiba: le, Filisidini dunu da ea gasa bagade wamolegei bai hame dawa: i.
While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.
10 Dilaila da Sa: masane ema amane sia: i, “Di da nama ogogoiba: le, na da gagaoui dunu agoai ba: sa. Nama moloiwane adoma. Dia gasa hedofama: ne, dunu da habodane di la: gima: bela: ?”
Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
11 E bu adole i, “Ilia da efe gaheabolo (amoga liligi da musa: hame la: gi) amoga na la: gisia, na da eno dunu defele, gasa hame ba: mu.”
He replied, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.”
12 Amaiba: le, Dilaila da efe gaheabolo lale, Sa: masane la: gi dagoi. Amalalu, e da gasa bagade wele sia: i, “Sa: masane! Filisidini dunu da manebe!” Dunu eno da diasu la: ididili wamo ouesalebe ba: i. Be Sa: masane da amo efe dasai gobea ha: i defele fi.
So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.
13 Dilaila da Sa: masane ema amane sia: i, “Di da nama bu ogogoiba: le, na da gagaoui dunu agoane ba: sa. Dunu da habodane di lagima: bela: ?” Sa: masane da bu adole i, “Di da na dialumasa fesuale amo amunasuga amunasea amola mae fadegala masa: ne ifa amoga nodomenesisia, na da dunu eno defele gasa hame ba: mu.”
Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.”
14 Dilaila da Sa: masane amo ea masele da: iya, fene golama: ne susui. Amalalu, e da ea dialumasa fesuale amo amunasuga amuni. Mae fadegama: ne, e da ifaga nodomenesi. Amalalu, e da bagade wele sia: i, “Sa: masane! Filisidini dunu da manebe!” Be e da nedigili, ea dialuma hinabo amuni amo fadegai dagoi.
So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web. Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.
15 Amalalu, Dilaila da ema amane sia: i, “Di da habodane nama asigisa amo sia: sala: ? Di da udiana agoane nama ogogoiba: le, na da gagaoui agoane ba: sa. Dia gasa bagade hou amo ea wamolegei bai, da nama hame olelei.”
“How can you say, ‘I love you,’” she asked, “when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and failed to reveal to me the source of your great strength!”
16 Eso huluane mae fisili, e da Sa: masanema adole ba: lalu. E da eso huluane sia: ga gegenabeba: le, Sa: masane da hele bagade nabi.
Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
17 Helebeba: le, e da moloiwane ea gasa bagade hou amo ea wamolegei bai ema olelei. E amane sia: i, “Na dialuma hinabo da hamedafa damusu. Na lalelegei eso amoga na da Na: salaide hou hamoma: ne, ilia da na Godema i. Na dialuma hinabo da damui dagoi ba: sea, na da dunu eno defele, gasa hame ba: mu.”
Samson told her all that was in his heart: “My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man.”
18 Dilaila da Sa: masane da ema moloidafa olelei dagoi ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da Filisidini hina bagade ema sia: adole iasi, amane, “Afadafa fawane bu misa! E da nama moloiwane olelei!” Amalalu, ilia da misini, muni dabe ema ima: ne gaguli misi.
When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: “Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.
19 Dilaila da Sa: masane ea masele da: iya fene golama: ne sususu. Amalalu, e da dunu eno misa: ne wele sia: i. Amo dunu da Sa: masane ea dialuma sa fesuale gala damuni fasi. Amalalu, Dilaila da Sa: masane ougima: ne, ema gadele sia: su. Bai Sa: masane ea gasa da fisi dagoi ba: i.
And having lulled him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to subdue him, and his strength left him.
20 Amalalu, Dilaila da amane wele sia: i, “Sa: masane! Filisidini dunu da manebe!” E da nedigili, amane dawa: i, “Na da musa: agoane hahawane masunu.” Be Hina Gode da e yolesi dagoi, amo e da hame dawa: iou.
Then she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” When Samson awoke from his sleep, he thought, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
21 Amalalu, Filisidini dunu da Sa: masane afugili, ea si aduna duga: le fasi. Ilia da e Ga: isa moilaiga oule asili, balase sia: inega la: gili, ema se iasu diasu hawa: hamomusa: logei. E se iasu diasu ganodini gagoma amola widi goudalalu.
Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze shackles and forced to grind grain in the prison.
22 Be ea dialuma hinabo da muni bu heda: lalebe ba: i.
However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
23 Filisidini hina bagade huluane da hahawane lolo manusa: amola ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ amo Da: igone ema gobele salasu bagade ima: ne gilisi dagoi. Ilia da amane gesami hea: i, “Ninia ‘gode’ da fidibiba: le, ninia da ninia ha lai dunu Sa: masane hasali.”
Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon. They rejoiced and said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands.”
And when the people saw him, they praised their god, saying: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy who destroyed our land and multiplied our dead.”
25 Ilia da hahawane gilisili hedebeba: le, amane sia: i, “Sa: masane misa: ne wele sia: ma! E da nini hahawane ba: ma: ne hedemu da defea.” Ilia da Sa: masane se iasu diasuga gadili oule misini, ilia da hahawane ba: ma: ne hedema: ne sia: i. Ilia da e da igi dunibugi bagade aduna dogoa leloma: ne sia: i. Filisidini dunu da Sa: masane ba: loba, ilia da ilia ‘gode’ma bagadewane nodomusa: gesami hea: i, amane, “Amo dunu da ninia soge wadela: lesi amola ninia dunu bagohame medole legei. Be ninia ‘gode’ da hamobeba: le, ninia da e hasali dagoi.”
And while their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison to entertain them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
26 Goi afae da Sa: masane lobolele, oule ahoasu. Sa: masane da ema amane sia: i, “Na da dunibugi amoga diasu da gagui amo digili ba: mu galebe. Na da ilima baligisiagamu hanai galebe.”
Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them.”
27 Amo diasu ganodini da dunu amola uda bagohame gilisili esalebe ba: i. Filisidini hina bagade biyale gala huluane esalebe ba: i. Diasu ea figisu da: iya dunu amola uda 3,000 agoane esalebe ba: i. Ilia da Sa: masane ba: lalu amola ilia hahawane ba: ma: ne, e se nabawane hedemusa: bagadewane wele sia: su.
Now the temple was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain them.
28 Amalalu, Sa: masane da Godema sia: ne gadoi, amane, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Dia na bu dawa: loma! Na da ha: giwane Dima edegesa. Di nama na gasa bagade hou bu afaewane nama ima. Amasea, na da afadafa fabeba: le amo Filisidini dunu da na si duga: le fasi ilima dabemu.”
Then Samson called out to the LORD: “O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes.”
29 Amaiba: le, Sa: masane dadunibugibagade aduna diasu dogoa dialu amo afae da lobodafa eno lobo fofadi amoga gaguli, gasawane fusu.
And Samson reached out for the two central pillars supporting the temple. Bracing himself against them with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other,
30 E amane wele sia: i, “Na amola Filisidini dunu da gilisili bogomu da defea.” E da gasa bagade fubiba: le, diasu da mugululi, Filisidini hina bagade biyale gala amola dunu huluane amoga fana sa: i. Huluane da bogogia: i. Sa: masane da ea bogoi eso amoga da Filisidini dunu medole legei amo ilia idi da ea esalebe eso amoga medole legei amo ilia idi baligi dagoi.
Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people in it. So in his death he killed more than he had killed in his life.
31 Ea yolali amola ea sosogo fi dunu eno da ea da: i hodo lala misi. Amo ilia gaguli, ea eda Manoua amo ea bogoi salasu Soula amola Esedoule dogoa sogebi dialu, amoga uli dogone sali. Sa: masane da ode 20amoga Isala: ili dunu ilia ouligisu esalu.
Then Samson’s brothers and his father’s family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
