Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.

[And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they encompassed [him], and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning when it is day we shall kill him.
3 Ahinlah Samson chu jankhang geijin bou jalkhunna chun alummin ahi. Hijouchun athoudoh in khopi kelkot chu akhom tenia apun Hebron lam ngat thinglhang vumma apudoh in ahi.
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill that [is] before Hebron.
4 Chomkhat jouvin Samson hi Sorek phaichama cheng Delilah kiti numei khat toh ahung kilungset lhonnin ahi.
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
5 Philistine vaipo ho chun amanu komma acheuvin hitin agaseijun ahi, “Samson hi jollin lang ipipen in ahatsah ham chuleh inakilo leh chatmo hella nakikan tum joudingham? Hitia chu nahinbol theileh keiho mikhat cheh in dangka sangsomle sangkhat kapehdiu ahi atiuve.
And the lords of the Philistines came to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
6 Hijeh chun Delilah in Samson kommah hitin aseije, “Ipi penin nanghi hibanga nahatsah ham chuleh inakilo leh chatmo hella nakikan tum joudingham lungsettah in neiseipeh in” ati.
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what thy great strength [lieth], and with what thou mayest be bound to afflict thee.
7 Samson’in adonbutnin, “Keima hi golphel khao athahleh jang sagi in eikikan chahkheh henlang hileh katha lhasam’in tin midang bep bep kahiding ahitai” ati.
And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Hichun Philistine lamkai hon gophel khao athahcheh jang sagi ahin choipeh un, Hichea chun Delilah in Samson chu akanchah kheh in ahi.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought to her seven green withs, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Amanun ainsung pingat sunga chu miphabep asel ahin, hichun amanu ping jah in, “Samson, Philistinete naman dingin ahung taove!” atin ahi. Ahinla Samson chun gophel khaoho chu meiyin ahallhah bangin abot tan gamtan ahil. Hitichun athahatna chu akimandoh joutapon ahi.
(Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.) And she said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he broke the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 Hiche jouchun Delilah in akom’ah aseijin, “Nangin neidai chavaijin jouvin neibolle! Tun lungsettah in neiseipeh in” ati.
And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mayest be bound.
11 Samson’in adonbutnin, “Keihi khatveicha ana kimang cha khalou khaovin eikikanleh katha lhasammin tin midangtoh kabahding ahitai,” atipeh e.
And he said to her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were used, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Hijeh chun Delilah in khatveicha ana kimang khalouhel khao thahbeh cheh in akantum’in ahi. Miphabepkhat chu amasa banga chu indan sungkhatna kiselluva ahi, avellin Delilah ping jah kit’in, “Samson, Philistinete naman dingin ahung taove!” atin ahileh akikan na khao ho jouse chu patjang bang in tan gamtan ahi.
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. (And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber.) And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
13 Hichun Delilah in aseijin, “Nangin neidai chavaijin, joujeng in nei bolle! Tunvang itileh chatmoa nakikan tum thei dingham neihetsah tan” ati. Samson’in adonbutnin, “Nangman kaluchanga kasam ba-sagi hi pheh lechun katha hung lhasammin tin, midang bep bep kahiding ahitai,” ati.
And Delilah said to Samson, hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me with what thou mayest be bound. And he said to her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 Hitichun aimut sungin Delilah in aluchanga asam basagi chu alan alom lommin aveijin lang chule abonchan thih hen khatnin akildet sohkeijin ajah a, “Vo Samson, Philistine mite naman dingin ahungtaove” ati. Samson ahungkhah phatnin thihjang jong asam lomjong aban bodoh soh kittan ahi.
And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
15 Hiche jouchun Delilah chun lungnommo tah in ahinseijin, “Nangin nathuguh bon neiseipeh nomlouva iti danna kalungsetne natiham? Nangin thumveijen neidai chavaijin ipin nahatsah ham ti neisei pehpon ahi!” ati.
And she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart [is] not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me in what thy great strength [lieth].
16 Amanun niseh a hitahi anano jinga asuhboi jing phat hin alungthim asuna lhah jengin athinomleu tan ahi.
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed to death;
17 Akhonna in athuguh hochu ahin seidoh tai, kasamhi khatveicha kivou khaloulai ahitin ahinphong doh tai, “Keihi kapenna patna Nazir hinkho mang dinga Pathenna eina kikatdohsa kahitai. Kasam hi kivou henlang hileh kathahat nan eidalhah ding ahitai, hiteng chuleh midang bep bep kahiding ahitai” ati.
That he told her all his heart, and said to her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I [have been] a Nazarite to God from my birth: if I be shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.
18 Delilah in tuavang hi atahbeh eiseipeh ahitai ti ahetphatnin Philistine lamkai hochu akou kittai, “Khatvei hungkit poupouvun, tuhinvang atahbeh chu eiseipeh tai” ati. Hijeh chun Philistine lamkaiho chun sum ahin choijun akomma ahungkit tauvin ahi.
And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath disclosed to me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought money in their hand.
19 Delilah chun Samson chu asam ba-sagi’a kipheh chu avolhahsah in, hitichun Samson chu imacha hilou asosahtan, athahat nan adalhatan ahi.
And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 Hichun ama ping jah in, “Samson, Philistine te naman dingin ahung taove ati.” Ama ahungkhah phatnin akingaiton, “Keima amasa bang bangin keilekei keihuhdoh jounange ati.” Ahinla aman Pakaiyin adalhah lamchu anahet lou ahi.
And she said, the Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knew not that the LORD had departed from him.
21 Hitichun Philistine ten aman’un amitteni akheodoh peh un Gaza lamma apuijun hichea chun sum-eng thihkhao vin akannun songkulla ahen’un sumhei goijin apansah tauvin ahi.
But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison-house.
22 Ahinlah chomkah louvin asam ahung kehdoh pan kittan ahi.
However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
23 Philistine lamkaiten golvah loupitah khat aneiyun hichea chun pumgo thilto aboljiuva asemthu pathennu Dagon chu athangvah jiu ahi. Amahon hitin aseijun, “Eiho Pathen’in igalmi’u Samson hi eiho khut’ah eipetaove” atiuve.
Then the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
24 Mipiten amuphat’un amaho semthu pathen chu athangvah un hitin aseijuve, “eiho pathen’in igalmipao eiho khut’ah ahin pedohtan ahi, igamsungu sumanga mitamtah eithatpao chu tun eiho thaneina noijah aumtai” atiuve.
And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country; who slew many of us.
25 Amaho kipa thanopna-a akkhamlai tah'un, “Samson chu hinpuidoh un golnop bolnan neiju hite!” atiuve. Hichun Samson chu mipa nopsahna dingin songkulla kon in ahinpui doh tauvin, hiche inpi thah apanga khompi lencheh ni kikah a chun adinsah tauvin ahi.
And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
26 Hichun Samson’in ama kailea pang chapangpa komma chun, “Hichea inpi theh a pang khomlen cheh ni kikah a chun neidin sah in keiman kingainan neijinge,” atin ahi.
And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars upon which the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
27 Hiche inpi chu mi dimset jenga ahi. Philistinete milen milal jouse jong um’uva ahin, chuleh hiche nching danna chun numei pasal abonchauva mi sangthum jennin Samson chu golnop’a avet’u ahi.
Now the house was full of men and women: and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there: and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
28 Hichun Samson chu Pakai kommah atauvin, “Vo Pakai Pathen keimahi neihin geldoh kitnin O Pathen, lungsettah in khatvei seh seh neihin hatdohsah kit’in. Hiche khatvei thaneina chun Philistine ten kamit teni asuh chotnu phu hi neilah sah teijun” ati.
And Samson called to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 Hichun Samson’in hiche inpi theh a pang khompi teni chunga chun akhut teni chu akoiyin,
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was supported, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 Hichun Samson in aseijin, hiche Philistine te hitoh thitha tange atin, hichun athanei chasun’in asonnin ahileh inpi chun ahung chimmin Philistine milen milal holeh asunga um mipiho jouse chu aseplih tan ahi. Hitichun hiche athi nikhoa atha hochu adamlaija athaho sangin atamjon ahi.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] in it. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.
31 Hiche jouchun asopihole ainsung miho along ladingin achesuh un, amahon alongchu agala uvin apa Manoah kivuina Zorah leh Esthtaol kikah ah chun avuitaove.
Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
