Judges 16
1 Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
Samson teh Gaza vah a cei. Hawvah kâyawt e napui a hmu teh a ikhai.
2 The Gazites were told, “Samson is here!” They surrounded him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, “Wait until morning light; then we will kill him.”
Hahoi, Samson hi a tho tie hah Gazanaw koe a dei pouh awh. Hatteh king a kalup awh. Khopui kâennae longkha totouh a kâyat awh teh, karum tuettuet khodai totouh a pawp awh. Khodai toteh, thei han telah ati awh.
3 Samson lay until midnight, then arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
Samson teh karumsaning totouh a i teh, hahoi karumsaning a thaw teh, khopui kalupnae longkha hoi a khom kahni touh a kuet teh, tarennae khuehoi a phawk teh, a loung hoi a hrawm teh, Hebron mon dawk a tâkhawng.
4 It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Hahoi, Sorek yawn e napui buet touh hah a ngai. A min teh Delilah doeh.
5 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.”
Filistin bawinaw hah ahni koe a tho awh teh, ahni hah king katek vaiteh rektap thai nahan, a thaonae kungpui panue thai nahanlah pasawt haw, telah na panuek pawiteh, kaimouh ni tangka 1,100 touh rip na poe awh han atipouh awh.
6 Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”
Hahoi teh, Delilah ni Samson koevah, hettelah e na thaonae hah na dei pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, katek vaiteh rektap thai nahanelah atipouh.
7 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.”
Samson ni, napui koevah, rui kahring ni teh ka ke hoeh rae yung sari touh hoi king na katek awh pawiteh, ka tha awm hoeh vaiteh, ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe atipouh.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Hahoi, Filistin bawinaw ni rui kahring e sari touh a sin awh teh, a katek awh.
9 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 flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
Im e khan dawk arulahoi kapawmnaw a tâco awh teh, Samson koevah, Samson Filistinnaw ni na cusin toe atipouh. Ahni ni hote ruinaw hah hmai hoi sawi teh doukkâlat e rui patetlah ruinaw hah a tapo. Hatei, ahnie thaonae hah panuek awh hoeh.
10 Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”
Delilah ni, Samson koevah, khenhaw! na dumyen teh, laithoe na dei. Bangtelah hoi maw na katek thai han dei leih atipouh.
11 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.”
Ahni ni, napui koevah, hno boihoeh rae tangron katha hoiyah, king na katek pawiteh, ka tha awm hoeh vaiteh, ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe atipouh.
12 So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, then 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.
Hahoi Delilah ni tangron katha e a la teh, a katek hnukkhu, Samson Filistinnaw ni na cusin toe atipouh. Imrakhan koehoi arulahoi kapawmnaw ao. Hahoi a kut kateknae hah pahlarui tapo e patetlah soum a tapo.
13 Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”
Delilah ni Samson koevah, laithoe doeh na dei rah. Bang patetlah hoi maw na katek han tie hah na dei pouh haw atipouh. Hat toteh, Samson ni ka sam sari touh kapek nateh, hni hoi mak na kawng sin vaiteh, tapang dawk khak hetsin pawiteh, ka thayoun vaiteh, ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe atipouh.
14 She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.
Delilah ni a sam sari touh lah a kapek pouh teh, hni dawk mak a kawngsin teh, tapang dawk khak hetsin. Samson Filistinnaw nang ka tuk hane a tho awh toe atipouh. A hnikawng e naw khuehoi a thaw teh a cei.
15 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.”
Delilah ni nang ni kai lungpataw katang laipalah, bangtelamaw khuet na dei han vaw. Khenhaw! vai thum touh na dum toe. Na thaonae teh na dei hoeh rah.
16 When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
Hot patetlah Delilah ni hnintangkuem a lung ka rek lah a dei pouh. Due han totouh a lung a ro sak.
17 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.”
Hahoi teh, Samson ni a lungthin abuemlah hoi he a dei pouh. Kaie ka sam teh ka ngaw boihoeh. Anu e von thung ka o nah hoi, Cathut e Nazirite tami lah ka o. Atuvah ka lû ka ngaw pawiteh, ka thaonae buemlah he a kahma han. Ka tha awm mahoeh toe. Ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe telah atipouh.
18 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 lungthin thung e abuemlahoi a dei toe tie hah Delilah ni a panue. Filistin bawinaw teh bout tho awh leih, a lungthin abuemlahoi a dei toe telah lawk a thui khai. Hahoi Filistin a lungkahanaw teh a tho awh teh, tangka a sin awh.
19 She made him sleep on 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.
Delilah ni, Samson teh a phai dawk a i sak. Tami buet touh a kaw teh, a sam he a ngaw sak. Rektap hanlah a noe awh toe. A thaonae hai a kahma pouh toe.
20 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 did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
Samson Filistinnaw ni na cusin toe atipouh. Hahoi a inae koehoi a thaw teh, ahmoun e patetlah ka tâco han bout ka hlout han doeh ati. Hatei, BAWIPA ni na ceitakhai toe tie panuek hoeh.
21 The Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
Filistinnaw ni a man teh, a mitmu a cawngkhawi pouh awh. Gaza kho a ceikhai awh teh, Rahum bawtarui hoi khakpâkhi awh. Thongim thung vah cakang a phawm sak awh.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Samson a lûngaw hnukkhu hoi a sam bout a sai.
23 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.”
Filistinnaw ni amamae cathut dagon koevah, kalen e thuengnae sak hane hoi nawmnae sak hanelah a kamkhuengkhai awh. Mamae cathut ni taran Samson teh maimae kut dawk na poe awh toe telah ati awh.
24 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.”
Tami moikapap ni a hmu navah, cathut a pholen awh. Maimae cathut ni taran teh kut dawk na poe awh toe. Ram karaphoekung, tami moi kathetkung teh maimae kut dawk na poe toe ati awh.
25 When their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may entertain us.” They called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. They set him between the pillars;
A lunghawikhai awh lahun nah, Samson hah paitun nahanelah, kaw awh ati awh. Hahoi Samson teh thongim thung hoi a tâcokhai awh teh, hmalah panuikhai hanlah, a ta awh. Khom hoi khom rahak a kangduesak awh.
26 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.”
Hahoi, Samson ni, kut dawk hoi ka hrawi e camo koe, hete im a kangduenae khom na tek sak haw, ka kamngawi haw nei atipouh.
27 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, who saw while Samson performed.
Hote im dawk napui tongpa yikkawi awh. Filistin bawinaw pueng hai hawvah king a kawi awh. Samson panuikhai hanlah, kakhennaw napui tongpa hoi 3, 000 tabang a pha awh.
28 Samson called to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
Samson ni BAWIPA hah a kaw teh, Oe Bawipa Jehovah pahren lahoi na pahnim hanh lah a. Pahren lahoi atu vai touh dueng ma thaonae bout na poe haw. Oe Cathut, ka mit kahni touh e phu lah Filistinnaw koe na patho sak haw atipouh.
29 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.
Hahoi, Samson ni bawkim lungui vah a dounnae khompui kahni touh hah, aranglae kut hoi buet touh, avoilah e kut hoi buet touh, ama cawt kamngawi laihoi a kuet.
30 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.
Samson ni Filistinnaw hoi mek na dout sak lawih atipouh. Hahoi, a tha a kâla teh, bawinaw hoi a thung e kaawm taminaw pueng bawkim pui ni koung a ten awh. A hring nah a thei e hlak a duekhai e hah a paphnawn.
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 burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
Hahoi teh, a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a imthungkhu abuemlah a tho awh teh, a takhangkhai awh. Zorah hoi Eshtaol rahak a na pa Manoah pakawpnae hmuen koe a pakawp awh. Hottelah kum 20 touh thung Isarelnaw hah a uk.
