< Judges 16 >

1 And Samson went to Gaza, and saw a harlot there, and went in to her.
I HO aku la o Samesona i Gaza, a ike iho la ilaila i kekahi wahine hookamakama, a komo aku la io na la.
2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson has come here. And they encompassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, Not till morning light, then we will kill him.
Haiia'ku la i ko Gaza, Ua hiki mai nei o Samesona. Hoopuni iho la lakou ia wahi, a hoohalua ia ia, ia po a ao, ma ka puka o ke kulanakauhale, a moe malie no ia po a pau, i iho la, A kakahiaka, i ke ao ana ae, make no oia ia kakou.
3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
Moe iho la o Samesona, a iwaena konu o ka po; alaila, ala mai la ia iwaena konu o ka po, a lawe iho la i na pani o ke kulanakauhale, a me na lapauwila elua, unuhi ae la ia laua me ka hoaka o ka puka, kau iho la maluna o kona mau poohiwi, a lawe aku la iluna pono o kahi puu, ma ke alo o Heberona.
4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
A mahope iho, aloha ae la ia i kekahi wahine ma ke kahawai o Soreka, o Delila kona inoa.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength lies, 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.
Pii ae la na'lii o Pilisetia io na la, i ae la ia ia, E hoowalewale oe ia ia, a e nana hoi i kahi o kona ikaika nui, a me ka mea e lanakila'i makou maluna ona, i nakinaki makou ia ia, a pilikia ia; alaila, e uku aku makou ia oe, i hookahi tausani apana kala, a me ka haneri keu.
6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what thy great strength lies, and with what thou might be bound to afflict thee.
I aku la o Delila ia Samesona, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e ikaika nui ai, a me ka mea e paa ai oe, i pilikia ai oe.
7 And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then I shall become weak, and be as another man.
I mai la o Samesona ia ia, Ina nakinaki mai lakou ia'u i na kaula maka ehiku, i hoomaloo ole ia, alaila, e nawaliwali au, a like auanei me kekahi kanaka.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Alaila, lawe mai na'lii o ko Pilisetia ia ia i ehiku kaula maka, i hoomaloo ole ia, a me ia no ia i nakinaki ai ia ia.
9 Now she had an ambush abiding in the inner chamber. And she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
E moe malu ana no na kanaka maloko o ia keena me ia. I mai la kela, Maluna on auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Moku ae la ia ia na kaula, e like me ka moku ana o ke kaula oka, i kona wa e honi ai i ke ahi, aole hoi i loaa kahi o kona ikaika.
10 And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou have mocked me, and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou might be bound.
I mai la o Delila ia Samesona, Aia hoi, ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a ua hoopunipuni mai ia'u. Nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e paa ai.
11 And he said to her, If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then I shall become weak, and be as another man.
I aku la keia ia ia, Ina nakinaki paa loa mai lakou ia'u i na kaula hou, aole i hoohanaia, alaila e nawaliwali au, a e like auanei me kekahi kanaka.
12 So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with it, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And the ambushment was abiding in the inner chamber. And he broke them off his arms like a thread.
Kii ae la o Delila i na kaula hou, a nakinaki iho la ia ia me ia, i ae la, Maluna ou auanei o ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. E moe malu ana no na kanaka maloko o ia keena. Moku ae la ia ia na kaula, mai kona lima aku, me he lopi la.
13 And Delilah said to Samson, Until now thou have mocked me, and told me lies. Tell me with what thou might be bound. And he said to her, If thou weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
I mai o Delila ia Samesona, Ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a hiki mai i keia manawa, a ua hoopunipuni ia'u. E hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e paa ai. I aku la keia ia ia, Ina e ulana pu oe i na will ehiku o ko'u poo, me ka lole.
14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web.
Alaila, makia iho la ia i ke kui, i ae la, Maluna ou auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Ala ae la ia mai kona hiamoe ana, a hele aku la me ke kui o ka mea nana i ulana, a me ka lole pu.
15 And she said to him, How can thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? Thou have mocked me these three times, and have not told me with what thy great strength lies.
I mai la oia ia ia, Pehea la oe e olelo ai, Ua aloha au ia oe? Aole hoi kou naau me au. Ekolu ou hoowahawaha ana mai ia'u, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u i kahi o kou ikaika nui.
16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed to death.
I kona koi ana ia ia i na la a pau, i kana olelo ana, a hookaumaha loa ia ia, a pilikia kona manao, aneane make;
17 And he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to 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.
Alaila, hai aku la oia ia ia i kona naau a pau, i aku la ia ia, Aole i kau mai ka pahikahi maluna o ko'u poo; no ka mea, ua laa au i ke Akua, mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine. Ina e kahiia au, alaila, lilo aku hoi ko'u ikaika mai o'u aku nei, a nawaliwali auanei au e like me kekahi kanaka.
18 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 has told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
A ike iho la o Delila, ua hai mai kela ia ia i kona naau a pau, alaila kii aku la ia, a hoakoakoa mai la i na'lii o ko Pilisetia, i ae la, E pii hou mai oukou, no ka mea, ua hai mai oia ia'u i kona naau a pau. Alaila, pii ae la na'lii o ko Pilisetia io na la, a lawe ae la i ke kala, ma ko lakou lima.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees, and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head. And she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Hoomoe iho la oia ia ia ma kona uha; a hea aku la i ke kanaka a haawi ia ia e kahi i na wili ehiku o kona poo a hemo; a hoomaka ia i ka hoopilikia ana ia ia, a lilo aku la kona ikaika, mai ona aku la.
20 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, and shake myself free, but he knew not that Jehovah was departed from him.
I mai la ia, Maluna ou auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Ala ae la ia, mai kona hiamoe ana, i mai la, E hele au iwaho e like me na wa mamua, e hooluliluli. Aole ia i ike, ua haalele o Iehova ia ia.
21 And the Philistines laid hold on him, and put out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass, and he did grinding in the prison-house.
Hoopaa iho la ko Pilisetia ia ia, poalo aku la i kona mau maka, a lawe ae la ia ia i Gaza, a hoopaa iho la ia ia i na kupee keleawe; a wili ae la ia iloko o ka halepaahao.
22 However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Hoomaka iho la ka lauoho o kona poo i ka ulu hou, e like me ia i ka wa i kahiia'i.
23 And the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Alaila hoakoakoa mai la na'lii o ko Pilisetia e kaumaha aku i mohai nui no Dagona, ko lakou akua, a e olioli; no ka mea, olelo mai la lakou, Ua haawi mai ko kakou akua ia Samesona o ko kakou enemi, iloko o ko kakou lima.
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god, for they said, Our god has delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country who has slain many of us.
A ike aku la na kanaka ia ia, hoomana aku la lakou i ko lakou akua; no ka mea, olelo mai la lakou, Ua haawi mai ko kakou akua iloko o ko kakou lima, i ko kakou enemi, i ka mea i anai ai i ko kakou aina, a luku nui mai ia kakou.
25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport to us. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them. And they set him between the pillars.
A i ka wa lealea ai ko lakou naau, i ae la lakou, E kii aku ia Samesona, i hula mai ia no kakou. Kii aku la lakou ia Samesona ma ka halepaahao, a hula mai la ia imua o lakou. A hooku iho la lakou ia ia iwaena o na kia.
26 And Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, Allow me that I may feel the pillars upon which the house rests, that I may lean upon them.
I ae la o Samesona i ke keiki e paa ana i kona lima, E hoomaha mai oe ia'u i hana aku au i na kia e paa ai ka hale, i hilinai hoi au ma ia mau mea.
27 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, who beheld while Samson made sport.
Ua piha ka hale i na kanaka, a me na wahine. Malaila no na'lii a pau o ko Pilisetia. Ekolu tausani kanaka a me na wahine maluna o ka hale i nana mai i ko Samesona hula ana.
28 And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, O lord Jehovah, 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.
Hea aku la o Samesona ia Iehova, i aku la, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, e hoomanao mai oe ia'u; ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hooikaika mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua e, i keia manawa hookahi no, i uku koke ia mai au e ko Pilisetia, no ko'u mau maka elua.
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and leaned upon them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
Lalau iho la o Samesona ma na kia waenakonu elua, a oia hoi na mea e paa ai ka hale. Hilinai iho la oia ma ia mau mea, o ka lima akau ma kekahi, a o ka lima hema ma kekahi.
30 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 that he killed at his death were more than those that he killed in his life.
I iho la o Samesona, E make pu au me ko Pilisetia. Kulou iho la me ka ikaika nui, a hina iho la ka hale maluna o na'lii, a maluna o na kanaka a pau maloko. Ua nui ka poe make, ana i luku ai i kona make ana, he hapa ka poe ana i luku ai i kona wa i ola'i.
31 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 burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Iho aku la kona poe hoahanau, a me ko ka hale o kona makuakane, lalau iho la ia ia, a lawe ae la, a kanu iho la mawaena o Zora, a me Esetaola, ma ka ilina o Manoa, o kona makuakane. He iwakalua makahiki ana i hooponopono ai i ka Iseraela.
