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.
Samson went to Gaza. There he saw a prostitute and he went to have sex with her that night.
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.”
The men of Gaza found out Samson was there, so they gathered to spend the night lying in wait for him at the town gates. They kept quiet all night, whispering to one another, “We'll kill him when it gets light.”
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 only stayed until halfway through the night. He grabbed hold of the town gates along with their two posts and ripped them up, along with the lock-bar. Putting them on his shoulders, he carried them to the hill opposite Hebron.
4 Amalalu, Sa: masane da uda Solege fago amo ganodini esalu ea dio amo Dilaila, ema asigiba: le, lamusa: dawa: iou.
Later he fell in love with a woman named Delilah living in the Sorek Valley.
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 Philistine leaders approached her, saying, “See if you can seduce him and get him to show you the secret of his incredible strength, and find out how we can overpower him and tie him up so he can't do anything. We'll all give you eleven hundred shekels of silver each.”
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: ?”
Delilah went and pleaded with Samson, “Please tell me where your incredible strength comes from, and what can be used to tie you up so you can't do anything.”
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.”
“If I'm tied up with seven supple bowstrings that haven't dried out, I'll become just as weak,” Samson told her.
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.
The Philistine leaders brought her seven supple bowstrings that hadn't dried out, 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.
Having arranged for men to hide in her bedroom ready to attack him, she shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a thread snaps when a flame touches it. So nobody found out where his strength came from.
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: ?”
Later Delilah said to Samson, “You've made me look stupid, telling me these lies! So now please tell me what can be used to tie you 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.”
“If I'm tied up tight with new ropes that haven't been used before, I'll become just as weak as anyone else,” he told her.
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 got some new ropes and tied him up with them. She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” As before, men were hiding in her bedroom. But again Samson snapped the ropes from his arms as if they were thin 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.”
Delilah said to Samson, “You keep on making me look stupid, telling me these lies! Just tell me what can be used to tie you up!” “If you were to weave the seven braids of my hair into the web on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I'll become as weak as anyone else,” he told her. So while he was asleep, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, weaving them into the web,
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.
and tightening the pin. She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” But Samson woke up and ripped out both the pin and the web from the loom.
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.”
Then Delilah complained to Samson, “How can you tell me, ‘I love you,’ when you don't let me into your confidence? Three times you've me look stupid, not telling me where your incredible strength comes from!”
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.
She nagged and complained all the time, pestering him until he wanted to die.
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.”
Eventually Samson confided in her, sharing everything. “My hair has never been cut, because I've been dedicated as a Nazirite to God from my birth. If I'm shaved, my strength will leave me, and I'll become as weak as anyone else.”
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.
Delilah realized that he had truly confided in her and shared everything, she sent a message to the Philistine leaders telling them, “Come back once more, because this time he's confided in me and told me everything.” So the Philistine leaders returned, bringing with them the money to give to her.
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.
Delilah soothed him sleep on her lap, and then called in someone to shave off the seven braids of hair. She started to torment him but he couldn't do anything for 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.
She shouted out, “Samson, the Philistines are here to get you!” Samson woke up and thought to himself, “I'll do like before and shake myself free.” But he didn't know that the Lord had left 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.
The Philistines grabbed him and gouged out his eyes. Then they took him to Gaza where they imprisoned him in bronze chains. He was made to work grinding grain at the mill in the prison.
22 Be ea dialuma hinabo da muni bu heda: lalebe ba: i.
But his hair began to grow back after it had been shaved off.
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.”
The Philistine leaders gathered for a great religious festival to sacrifice to their god Dagon and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has handed Samson our enemy over to us!”
When the people saw him, they praised their god, and said, “Our god has handed our enemy over to us, the one who devastated our land and killed so many of us.”
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.”
As they began to get drunk, they shouted, “Summon Samson so he can entertain us!” So they summoned Samson from the prison to entertain them, and made him stand between the two main pillars of the building.
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 boy who was leading him by the hand, “Leave me by the pillars on which the temple rests so I can feel them, and 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.
The temple was full of people. All the Philistine rulers were there, and on the roof were the ordinary people watching what Samson was doing.
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.”
Samson called out to the Lord, “Lord God, please remember me and give me strength. Please God, do this just once more, so that with one act I may pay the Philistines back in revenge for the loss of my two eyes.”
29 Amaiba: le, Sa: masane dadunibugibagade aduna diasu dogoa dialu amo afae da lobodafa eno lobo fofadi amoga gaguli, gasawane fusu.
Samson reached for the two middle pillars that supported the temple. With his right hand leaning 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 shouted, “Let me die with the Philistines!” and he pushed with all his strength. The temple collapsed on the rulers and all the people in it. So those killed at his death were more than he 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 his brothers and his whole family came and took him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. He led Israel as judge for twenty years.
