士師記 16
1 三松往迦薩去，在那裏看見一個妓女，便去走近了她。
Then went Samson to Azzah, and sawe there an harlot, and went in vnto her.
2 有人告訴迦薩人說：「三松到這裏來了。」他們就把他圍住，終夜派人埋伏在城門口，整夜靜悄悄地等待他，說：「等到早晨天亮，我們纔殺他。」
And it was tolde to the Azzahites, Samson is come hither. And they went about, and laied wayte for him all night in the gate of the citie, and were quiet all the nyght, saying, Abide till the morning earely, and we shall kill him.
3 三松睡到半夜，半夜醒來，抓緊城門，連兩個門框帶門閂，一起拔起，放在肩上，背到赫特龍對面的山頂上。三松與德里拉
And Samson slept till midnight, and arose at midnight, and tooke the doores of the gates of the citie, and the two postes and lift them away with the barres, and put them vpon his shoulders, and caried them vp to the top of the mountaine that is before Hebron.
4 此後，他在芍勒克平原又愛上一個女人，名叫德里拉。
And after this hee loued a woman by the riuer of Sorek, whose name was Delilah:
5 培肋舍特的酋長上到她那裏，對她說：「請你引誘他，看看他這樣大的力量是從那裏來的，我們怎樣能制勝他，將他捆起，而制伏他；我們每人給你一千一百銀子。」
Vnto whome came the princes of the Philistims, and said vnto her, Entise him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what meane we may ouercome him, that we may binde him, and punish him, and euery one of vs shall giue thee eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer.
6 德里拉問三松說：「請你告訴我，你這樣大的力量是從那裏來的﹖人怎樣纔能將你捆起，而制伏你﹖」
And Delilah saide to Samson, Tell mee, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest bee bound, to doe thee hurt.
7 三松回答說：「人若用七根未乾的新牛筋繩將我捆起，我就像別人一樣軟弱。」
Samson then answered vnto her, If they binde mee with seuen greene cordes, that were neuer dryed, then shall I bee weake, and be as an other man.
8 培肋舍特人的酋長就給她送來七根未乾的新牛筋繩，她便用這些繩子將他捆起。
And the princes of the Philistims brought her seuen greene cordes that were not dry, and she bound him therewith.
9 當時有埋伏的人暗藏在她的內室裏；德里拉向他喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」他就掙斷牛筋繩，如同麻線被火燒斷一樣；於是人們仍不知他力量的所在。
(And she had men lying in wayte with her in the chamber) Then she said vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee brake the cordes, as a threede of towe is broken, when it feeleth fire: so his strength was not knowen.
10 德里拉遂對三松說：「看，你戲弄我，對我說謊。如今請你告訴我，怎樣纔能捆綁你﹖」
After Delilah saide vnto Samson, See, thou hast mocked mee and tolde mee lies. I pray thee nowe, tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11 他回答她說：「人若用從未用過的新繩將我捆起，我就像別人一樣軟弱。」
Then he answered her, If they binde mee with newe ropes that neuer were occupied, then shall I be weake, and be as an other man.
12 德里拉就拿新繩將他捆起，對他喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」當時仍有埋伏的人暗藏在內室裏；但他掙斷手臂上的繩子，好像一根絲線一樣。
Delilah therefore tooke newe ropes, and bounde him therewith, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson: (and men lay in wayte in the chamber) and hee brake them from his armes, as a threede.
13 德里拉對三松說：「到現在你仍戲弄我，對我說謊；你告訴我，人怎樣纔能捆綁你﹖」他回答她說：「你若把我頭上的七條髮辮與織布的經線編在一起，然後用木橛釘住，我就像別人一樣軟弱。」
Afterward Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast beguiled mee, and tolde me lies: tell me how thou mightest be bounde. And he sayde vnto her, If thou plattedst seuen lockes of mine head with the threedes of the woufe.
14 德里拉使他睡了，然後把他頭上的七條髮辮與織布的經線編在一起，再用木橛釘住，向他喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」他從夢中醒來，把織布機的木橛連織布的經線都拔了出來。
And she fastened it with a pinne, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe, and went away with the pinne of the webbe and the woufe.
15 德里拉就對他說：「你心裏既沒有我，你怎能說：我愛你呢﹖你已三次戲弄我，還沒有告訴我你這樣大的力量是從那裏來的! 」
Againe shee sayde vnto him, Howe canst thou say, I loue thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked mee these three times, and hast not tolde me wherein thy great strength lieth.
16 因為她天天用話來逼他，催他，致使他的精神苦惱的要死。
And because shee was importunate vpon him with her wordes continually, and vexed him, his soule was pained vnto the death.
17 三松遂把心中的一切全透露給她，對她說：「剃刀從未接觸過我的頭，因為我在母胎時就是獻於天主的；人若剃去我的頭髮，我的力量就離開了我，我就像眾人一樣軟弱。」
Therefore he tolde her all his heart, and said vnto her, There neuer came rasor vpon mine head: for I am a Nazarite vnto God from my mothers wombe: therefore if I bee shauen, my strength will goe from me, and I shalbe weake, and be like all other men.
18 德里拉一見他把心中的一切全給她透露了，便打發人召培肋舍特的酋長來說：「這一次你們上來罷! 因為他把心中的一切全透露給我。」於是培肋舍特人的酋長手中帶著銀子，來到德里拉那裏。
And when Delilah sawe that he had tolde her all his heart, she sent, and called for the Princes of ye Philistims, saying, Come vp once againe: for he hath shewed mee all his heart. Then the Princes of the Philistims came vp vnto her, and brought the money in their handes.
19 德里拉使三松睡在自己的膝上，又叫來一個人，剃去他頭上的七條髮辮，他就開始軟弱無力，他的力量全離開了他。
And she made him sleepe vpon her knees, and she called a man, and made him to shaue off the seuen lockes of his head, and shee began to vexe him, and his strength was gone from him.
20 她於是喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」他由夢中醒來，心想：「這一次和前幾次一樣，我一掙扎，必能脫身。」他卻不知道上主已離棄了他。
Then she said, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee awoke out of his sleepe, and thought, I will go out now as at other times, and shake my selfe, but he knewe not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 培肋舍特人便把他捉住，剜去他的眼睛，帶他下到迦薩，用銅鍊鎖了他，叫他在監獄裏推磨。
Therefore the Philistims tooke him, and put out his eyes, and brought him downe to Azzah, and bounde him with fetters: and hee did grinde in the prison house.
22 但是他的頭髮在剃了以後，又漸漸長起來。三松殉身復仇
And the heare of his head began to growe againe after that it was shauen.
23 培肋舍特人的酋長聚集起來，為給他們的神達貢舉行祭獻大典，表示慶祝；他們說：「我們的神把我們的仇人三松交在我們手中。」
Then the Princes of the Philistims gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice vnto Dagon their god, and to reioyce: for they said, Our god hath deliuered Samson our enemie into our handes.
24 民眾一見三松，就讚頌他們的神說：「我們的神把破壞過我們的田地，殺害過我們多人的仇人，交在我們的手中了。」
Also when the people saw him, they praysed their god: for they sayde, Our god hath deliuered into our hands our enemie and destroyer of our countrey, which hath slayne many of vs.
25 當他們興高采烈的時候，就喊說：「讓三松給我們表演把戲。」他們就從監獄裏叫出三松來，在他們面前耍把戲；以後把他放在兩根柱子中間。
And when their heartes were merie, they said, Call Samson, that he may make vs pastime. So they called Samson out of the prison house, and he was a laughing stocke vnto them, and they set him betweene the pillars.
26 三松對牽他手的僮僕說：「讓我摸摸支殿的柱子，好能靠一靠。」
Then Samson saide vnto the seruant that led him by the hande, Lead me, that I may touch the pillars that the house standeth vpon, and that I may leane to them.
27 那時殿內滿了男女，培肋舍特人的酋長也在裏面，在天台上約有三千男女，都在看三松表演把戲。
(Nowe the house was full of men and women, and there were all the princes of the Philistims: also vpon the roofe were about three thousande men and women that behelde while Samson played)
28 三松呼求上主說：「吾主上主，求你眷念我! 天主，求你再賜我力量，只要這一次! 以報培肋舍特人剜我雙眼的仇。」
Then Samson called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord God, I pray thee, thinke vpon me: O God, I beseech thee, strengthen me at this time onely, that I may be at once auenged of the Philistims for my two eyes.
29 三松就抱住正中支殿的兩根柱子，右手抱一根，左手抱一根；
And Samson layd hold on the two middle pillars whereupon the house stood, and on which it was borne vp: on the one with his right hand, and on the other with his left.
30 然後三松說：「讓我的性命和培肋舍特人同歸於盡! 」於是他奮力屈身，大殿隨之倒塌，壓在酋長和裏面所有的民眾身上；這樣他在臨死時所殺死的人，比一生所殺死的人還多。
Then Samson saide, Let me lose my life with the Philistims: and he bowed him with all his might, and the house fell vpon the princes, and vpon all the people that were therein. so the dead which he slewe at his death were more then they which he had slaine in his life.
31 此後，他的兄弟和父親的全家下來，把他抬上去，葬在祚辣和厄市陶耳之間，他父親瑪諾亞的墳墓裏。他作以色列民長二十年。
Then his brethren, and all the house of his father came downe and tooke him, and brought him vp and buryed him betweene Zorah and Eshtaol, in the sepulchre of Manoah his father: nowe he had iudged Israel twenty yeeres.
