1 Odšel pak Samson do Gázy, a uzřev tam ženu nevěstku, všel k ní.
And Samson went from there to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her.
2 I povědíno obyvatelům Gázy: Samson přišel sem. Kteříž obeslavše se, střáhli na něj v bráně města přes celou noc, a stavěli se tiše té celé noci, řkouce: Až ráno zabijeme jej.
And it was reported to the Gazites, saying, "Samson is here." They surrounded him, and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all night, saying, "Wait until morning light, then we will kill him."
3 Spal pak Samson až do půl noci, a o půl noci vstal, a pochytiv vrata brány městské s oběma veřejemi a s závorou, vložil na ramena svá a vnesl je na vrch hory, kteráž byla naproti Hebronu.
Now Samson rested until midnight, but got up at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is overlooking Hebron, and set them down there.
4 Potom pak zamiloval ženu v údolí Sorek, jejíž jméno bylo Dalila.
It came to pass afterward, that he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 I přišli knížata Filistinská k ní a řekli jí: Oklamej ho a zvěz, v čem jest síla jeho tak veliká, a jak bychom přemohli jej, abychom svížíce, skrotili jej; tobě pak jeden každý z nás dáme tisíc a sto lotů stříbra.
The lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, "Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."
6 Tedy řekla Dalila Samsonovi: Prosím, oznam mi, v čem jest tak veliká síla tvá, a čím bys svázán a zemdlen býti mohl?
Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound and subdued."
7 Odpověděl jí Samson: Kdyby mne svázali sedmi houžvemi surovými, kteréž ještě neuschly, tedy zemdlím, a budu jako jiný člověk.
Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
8 I přinesli jí knížata Filistinská sedm houžví surových, kteréž ještě neuschly, a svázala ho jimi.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 (V zálohách pak nastrojeni byli někteří u ní v komoře.) I řekla jemu: Filistinští na tě, Samsone. A on roztrhl houžve, jako by přetrhl nit koudelnou, přistrče k ohni, a není poznána síla jeho.
Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." He broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 Tedy řekla Dalila Samsonovi: Aj, oklamals mne a lživě jsi mi mluvil. Prosím, oznam mi nyní, čím bys mohl svázán býti?
Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound."
11 Kterýž odpověděl jí: Kdyby mne tuze svázali novými provazy, jimiž by ještě nic děláno nebylo, tedy zemdlím a budu jako kdokoli jiný z lidí.
He said to her, "If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
12 I vzala Dalila provazy nové a svázala ho jimi, a řekla jemu: Filistinští na tě, Samsone. (Zálohy pak nastrojeny byly v komoře.) I roztrhl je na rukou svých jako nitku.
So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.
13 Tedy řekla Dalila Samsonovi: Až dosavad jsi mne svodil, a mluvils mi lež. Pověziž mi, čím bys svázán býti mohl. Odpověděl jí: Kdybys přivila sedm pramenů z vlasů hlavy mé k vratidlu tkadlcovskému.
Delilah said to Samson, "Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me how you might be bound." He said to her, "If you weave the seven braids on my head with the fabric and fasten them with the pin, then I will be weak as another man."
14 Což učinivši, zarazila hřebem, a řekla jemu: Filistinští na tě, Samsone. A procítiv ze sna svého, vytrhl hřeb, osnovu i s vratidlem.
So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids on his head, and wove them with the fabric, and she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." And he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin of the loom and the fabric.
15 Opět řekla jemu: Kterak ty pravíš: Miluji tě, poněvadž srdce tvé není se mnou? Již jsi mne potřikrát oklamal a neoznámils mi, v čem jest tak veliká síla tvá.
She said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies."
16 Když tedy trápila jej slovy svými každého dne, a obtěžovala jej, umdlena jest duše jeho, jako by již měl umříti.
It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.
17 I otevřel jí cele srdce své a řekl jí: Břitva nevešla nikdy na hlavu mou, nebo Nazarejský Boží jsem od života matky své. Kdybych oholen byl, odešla by ode mne síla má, a zemdlel bych a byl jako jiný člověk.
He told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I will become weak, and be like any other man."
18 Viduci pak Dalila, že by cele otevřel jí srdce své, poslala a zavolala knížat Filistinských těmi slovy: Poďte ještě jednou, nebo otevřel mi cele srdce své. Tedy přišli knížata Filistinská k ní, nesouce stříbro v rukou svých.
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 has told me all his heart." Then the lords of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
19 I uspala ho na klíně svém a povolala holiče, i dala oholiti sedm pramenů vlasů hlavy jeho. I počala jím strkati, když odešla od něho síla jeho.
She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and he began to weaken, and his strength went from him.
20 A řekla: Filistinští na tě, Samsone. Procítiv pak ze sna svého, řekl: Vyjdu jako i prvé, a probiji se skrze ně. Nevěděl však, že Hospodin odstoupil od něho.
She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." He awoke out of his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." But he didn't know that the LORD had departed from him.
21 Tedy javše ho Filistinští, vyloupili mu oči, a dovedše ho do Gázy, svázali jej dvěma řetězy železnými. A mlel v domě vězňů.
The Philistines seized him, and gouged out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze shackles, and he ground at the mill in the prison.
22 Potom počaly mu vlasy na hlavě odrostati po oholení.
However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
23 Knížata pak Filistinská shromáždili se, aby obětovali obět velikou bohu svému Dágonovi a aby se veselili; nebo řekli: Dalť jest bůh náš v ruce naše Samsona nepřítele našeho.
The lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to celebrate; for they said, "Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
24 A když uzřel jej lid, chválili boha svého; nebo pravili: Dalť jest bůh náš v ruce naše nepřítele našeho a zhoubce země naší, kterýž mnohé z našich zmordoval.
When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand."
25 I stalo, když se rozveselilo srdce jejich, že řekli: Zavolejte Samsona, aby kratochvílil před námi. Tedy povolali Samsona z domu vězňů, aby hral před nimi; i postavili ho mezi sloupy.
And it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may entertain us." So they called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. And they were striking him. And they set him between the pillars;
26 Nebo řekl Samson pacholeti, kteréž ho za ruku vodilo: Přiveď mne, ať mohu omakati sloupy, na nichž dům stojí, a zpodepříti se na ně.
and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, "Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them." And the boy did so.
27 Dům pak plný byl mužů a žen, a byla tam všecka knížata Filistinská, ano i na vrchu okolo tří tisíc mužů a žen, kteříž dívali se, když Samson hral.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And there were on the roof about three thousand men and women watching while Samson performed.
28 I volal Samson k Hospodinu, a řekl: Panovníče Hospodine, prosím, rozpomeň se na mne, a posilni mne, žádám, toliko aspoň jednou, ó Bože, abych se jednou pomstíti mohl za své obě oči nad Filistinskými.
Samson called to the LORD, and said, "Lord GOD, please remember me, and please strengthen me only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."
29 Objav tedy Samson oba sloupy prostřední, na nichž dům ten stál, zpolehl na ně, na jeden pravou a na druhý levou rukou svou.
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
30 Potom řekl Samson: Nechť umře život můj s Filistinskými. A nalehl silně, i padl dům na knížata a na všecken lid, kterýž byl v něm; i bylo mrtvých, kteréž pobil on umíraje, více než těch, kteréž pobil, živ jsa.
Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.
31 Tedy přišli přátelé jeho, a všecken dům otce jeho, a vzavše jej, odešli, a pochovali jej mezi Zaraha a Estaol v hrobě Manue otce jeho. A on soudil lid Izraelský dvadceti let.
Then his brothers 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 burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
