Sudcov 16
1 Odšel pak Samson do Gázy, a uzřev tam ženu nevěstku, všel k ní.
Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there, and he went to bed with 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.
The Gazites were told, “Samson has come here.” The Gazites surrounded the place and in secret, they waited for him all night at the city gate. They kept silent all night. They had said, “Let us wait until daylight, and then let us 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.
Samson lay in bed until midnight. At midnight he got up and he took hold of the city gate and its two posts. He pulled them up out of the ground, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the hill, in front of Hebron.
4 Potom pak zamiloval ženu v údolí Sorek, jejíž jméno bylo Dalila.
After this, Samson came to love a woman who lived in the Valley of Sorek. Her 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 rulers of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, “Trick Samson to see where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him in order to humiliate him. Do this, and each one of us will give you 1,100 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?
Then Delilah said to Samson, “Please, tell me how is it that you are so strong, and how could anyone bind you, so you might be controlled?”
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 tie me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”
8 I přinesli jí knížata Filistinská sedm houžví surových, kteréž ještě neuschly, a svázala ho jimi.
Then the rulers of the Philistines brought up to Delilah seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied Samson up 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 men hiding in secret, staying in her inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he broke the bowstrings like a thread of yarn when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not discovered.
10 Tedy řekla Dalila Samsonovi: Aj, oklamals mne a lživě jsi mi mluvil. Prosím, oznam mi nyní, čím bys mohl svázán býti?
Then Delilah said to Samson, “This is how you have deceived me and told me lies. Please, tell me how you can be overpowered.”
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 tie me up with new ropes which have never been used for work, I will become weak and like any other 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 tied him up with them, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” The men lying in wait were in the inner room. But Samson tore off the ropes from his arms like they were a piece of 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 deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you may be overpowered.” Samson said to her, “If you weave seven locks of my hair into a fabric on a loom, and then nail that to the loom, I will be like any other man.”
14 Což učinivši, zarazila hřebem, a řekla jemu: Filistinští na tě, Samsone. A procítiv ze sna svého, vytrhl hřeb, osnovu i s vratidlem.
While he slept, Delilah wove seven locks of his hair into the fabric on the loom and nailed it to the loom, and she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He woke from his sleep and he pulled out the fabric and the pin from the loom.
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 you do not share your secrets with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me how you have such great strength.”
16 Když tedy trápila jej slovy svými každého dne, a obtěžovala jej, umdlena jest duše jeho, jako by již měl umříti.
Every day she pressed him hard with her words, and she pressured him so much that he wished he would die.
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.
So Samson told her everything and said to her, “I have never had a razor cut the hair on my head, for I have been a Nazirite for God from my mother's womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I will become weak and be like every 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 the truth about everything, she sent and called for the rulers of the Philistines, saying, “Come up again, for he has told me everything.” Then the rulers of the Philistines went up to her, bringing the silver 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 had him fall asleep in her lap. She called for a man to shave off the seven locks of his head, and she began to subdue him, for his strength had left 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 woke up out of his sleep and said, “I will get out like the other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that Yahweh had left 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 captured him and put out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles. He turned the millstone at the prison house.
22 Potom počaly mu vlasy na hlavě odrostati po oholení.
But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been 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 rulers of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. They said, “Our god has conquered Samson, our enemy, and put him in our grasp.”
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 conquered our enemy and given him to us—the destroyer of our country, who killed many of us.”
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.
When they were celebrating, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may make us laugh.” They called for Samson out of the prison and he made them laugh. They made him stand 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.
Samson said to the boy who held his hand, “Permit me to touch the pillars on which the building rests, so that I can lean against them.”
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. All the rulers of the Philistines were there. There were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who were looking on while Samson was entertaining them.
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 Yahweh and said, “Lord Yahweh, call me to mind! Please strengthen me only this once, God, so that I may have revenge in one blow on the Philistines for taking 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 held on to the two middle pillars on which the building rested, and he leaned against them, one pillar 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 stretched out with his strength and the building fell on the rulers and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed when he died were more than those he killed during 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. They took him, brought him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial place of Manoah, his father. Samson had judged Israel for twenty years.
