1 Chiengʼ moro achiel Samson nodhi Gaza, kama nonenoe nyako moro ma jachode mi odhi mondo oterre kode.
Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
2 Nonyis jo-Gaza niya, “Samson nitiere kae!” Omiyo negilworo kanyo kendo gibuto ka girite otieno duto e dhoranga dala maduongʼ. Ne ok gisudo otienono, kagiwacho niya, “Kochopo kogwen to wabiro nege.”
[And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed [him] in, 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 To Samson nonindo kanyo nyaka dier otieno. Eka no-aa malo kendo nomako ranga dalano kaachiel gi sirnine ariyo mopudhogi kod gik moko duto. Notingʼogi e goke mi oterogi ewi got momanyore gi Hebron.
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 an hill that [is] before Hebron.
4 Bangʼ mano, nomako osiep hera gi nyako ma nyinge Delila e Holo mar Sorek.
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
5 Jotend jo-Filistia nodhi ir Delila mi owachone niya, “Tem ane ka inyalo hoye mondo onyisi kuma tekone ae kendo ingʼe kaka wanyalo loye mondo mi watweye kendo sande. Wabiro miyi fedha ma pekne romo kilo apar gadek ngʼato ka ngʼato.”
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein 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 Omiyo Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Nyisa ane kuma tekoni ae kendo kaka inyalo maki mi tweyi.”
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
7 Samson nodwoke niya, “Ka ngʼato otweya gi tonde abiriyo manyien mapok otiyo, to abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Eka jotelo mag jo-Filistia nokelone Delila tonde abiriyo manyien mapok otiyo, eka notweye gi tondego.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Kane osepando jomoko ei ot kanyo, noluonge kowacho niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro monji!” To ne ochodo tondego e yo mayot mana kaka tol chot kokete machiegni gi mach. Omiyo kuma tekone ae ne ok ofweny.
Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 Eka Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Isekawa ngʼama ofuwo; ne iwuonda. Bi mondo koro inyisa kaka inyalo tweyi.”
And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11 Nowachone niya, “Ka ngʼato otweya moridore gi tonde manyien mapok otiyo, to abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Omiyo Delila nokawo tonde manyien mi otweyego. Kane osepando jomoko ei ot kanyo, noluonge kowacho niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro monji!” To nochodo tondego mana ka gima gin usi.
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
13 Eka Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Nyaka sani, isebedo ka ikawa ka ngʼama ofuwo kendo isewuonda. Nyisa kaka inyalo tweyi.” Nodwoko niya, “Ka ikado yie wiya gi usi mar chwecho kendo miride gi pino, to anabed manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.” Omiyo kane onindo Delila nokado yie wiye nyadibiriyo, kotwangʼe matek gi usi mar chwecho
And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 kendo oride motegno gi pino. Noluonge kendo niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro monji.” Nochiewo oa e nindo mi opudho pino oko kod usi mar chwecho.
And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
15 Bangʼe nowachone niya, “Ere kaka inyalo wacho ni ihera to ok inyal nyisa kuma tekoni ae? Ma koro en mar adek ma iseketa ka ngʼama ofuwo kendo pod ok inyisa kuma tekoni ae.”
And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart [is] not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength [lieth].
16 Noromo Samson gi wachni pile ka pile manomiyo koro odwaro mana dere.
And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 Omiyo nohulone gik moko duto kowachone niya, “Onge wembe mosekadho e wiya nikech asebedo ja-Nazir ma Nyasaye nowalo nyaka aa nywolna. Ka yie wiya oliel, to tekra biro rumo, kendo abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I [have been] a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.
18 Ka Delila noneno nine osenyise gik moko duto, nooro wach ne jotend jo-Filistia niya, “Dwoguru dichiel; osenyisa gik moko duto.” Omiyo jotend jo-Filistia noduogo gi chudo e lwetgi.
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 shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
19 Delila nohoyo Samson mi nonindo koteno wiye kuome, eka noluongo ngʼato mondo obi oliel yie wiye mane osekad nyadibiriyo. Bangʼ mano tekre norumo.
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 Eka noluonge niya, “Samson, jo-Filistia osebiro mondo omonji!” Kane ochiewo to ne owacho e chunye niya, “Abiro wuok kaka pile mondo abed thuolo.” To ne ok ongʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye noseweye.
And she said, The Philistines [be] 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 wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
21 Bangʼe jo-Filistia nomake, mi gilodho wengene oko kendo ne gitere nyaka Gaza. Eka ne gitweye gi nyoroche mag mula, mi gikete jarego e od twech.
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 To bangʼe yie wiye nochako twi mos mos.
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
23 Koro jotend jo-Filistia nochokore mondo gitim misango maduongʼ ne Dagon ma nyasachgi, negitimo nyasi kagiwacho niya, “Nyasachwa osechiwo Samson ma jasikwa e lwetwa.”
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
24 Ka ji nonene, negipako nyasachgi, kagiwacho niya, “Nyasachwa osechiwo jasikwa e lwetwa, ngʼatno mane oketho pinywa mi omiyo onegwa mangʼeny.”
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, which slew many of us.
25 E seche mane gin-gi ilo mathothno, negigoyo koko niya, “Keluru Samson mondo omielnwa.” Omiyo negigolo Samson oko mar od twech, mi omielnegi. Kane oyudo gichunge e kind sirni,
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 Samson nowachone jatich mane omako lwete niya, “Keta ane kama anyalo muloe sirni mosiro hekaluni, mondo omi ayiengra kuomgi.”
And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
27 Koro hekalu nopongʼ gi chwo kod mon; jotend jo-Filistia duto ne ni kanyo, kendo ne nitie chwo gi mon alufu adek mane ni ewi tado ka ngʼiyo Samson kamiel.
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 Eka Samson noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, para! Yaye Nyasaye, duogna teko mana dichiel kende mondo achulgo kuor kuom jo-Filistia-gi kuom toko wengena ariyo oko.”
And Samson called unto 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 Eka Samson nomako sirni ariyo mane ni e chuny hekalu mane osiro hekalu. Kosirogi moro ka moro, ka lwedo korachwich osiro achiel to lwedo koracham e machielo,
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 Samson nowacho niya, “Mad iyie atho gi jo-Filistia-gi!” Eka nodhiro sirnigo gi tekone duto, kendo hekalu norwombore piny kuom jotelo kod ji duto mane ni e iye. Omiyo nonego ji mangʼeny sa ma notho moloyo kane ongima.
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] therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.
31 Eka owetene kod joka wuon mare duto nodhi mondo okawe. Negikele ma gi hike e kind Zora gi Eshtaol e liend Manoa wuon mare. Notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo.
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 buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
