< Judges 16 >

1 Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
Nimb’e Azà mb’eo t’i Simsone, le nanjo ty tsimirirañe, vaho nizilik’ ao.
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.”
Natalily amo nte-Gazeo ty hoe: Fa nomb’ atoy t’i Simsone. Aa le nivoñone’ iereo naho nialeñe nandiñe aze an-dalambey eo, f’ie nianjiñe amy haleñe iabiy, le hoe ty asa’ iareo: Angao re ampara’ te mazava i maraiñey, vaho hañohofan-tika loza.
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.
Nàndre ao t’i Simsone ampara’ te antets’ ale le nitroatse te petsak-aleñe naho nandram­be o lalambein-dro­vao reketse ty tokona’e roe, naho nom­bota’e reketse sikadañe aman-ka­rao’e, naho nanoe’e an-tsoroke vaho jinini’e mb’an-kaboa’ ty vohitse aolo’ i Kebrone eñe.
4 It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Ie añe, le nikokoa’e ty rakemba am-bavatane’ i Soreke ao, i De­lilà ty añara’e.
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.”
Aa le nomb’ ama’e mb’eo o talem-Pilistio, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Sigiho, hahaoniñañe te aia i haozara’e ra’elahiy, naho an-tsata akore ty haha­­fitroara’ay, hamahots’ aze, hanolora’ay sotry, vaho songa hanolotse drala arivo-tsi-zato ama’o zahay.
6 Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”
Aa le hoe t’i Delilà amy Simsone: Atalilio amako te aia ty idoña’ o hao­zara’o ra’elahio, vaho manao akore ty hamahorañe azo hiambanea’o?
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.”
Le hoe t’i Simsone ama’e, Ie vahora’ iareo an-tàlim-pale leñe fito mbe tsy nimaiheñe le hihalème manahake ondaty ila’eo.
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.
Aa le nanese vahotse fito mbe tsy nimaiheñe ama’e o talèm-Pilistio vaho finehe’e.
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.
Ie amy zao, nasia’e mpamandroñe am-po’ ty traño raik’ ao, le hoe re: O Simsone, fa ama’o o nte-Pilistio! Fe tinampa’e hoe ty fitampahan-karafon-deny mioza afo o tàlim-paleo. Tsy nirendrek’ amy zao ty foto’ i haozara’ey.
10 Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”
Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Simsone t’i Delilà, Toe nifañahia’o, vaho nandañira’o; ehe saontsio amako, inoñe ty hamahorañe azo?
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.”
Le hoe re tama’e: Naho fehe’ iereo mafe an-taly vao mbe lia’e tsy niasa, le havòzo manahake ondaty ila’eo.
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.
Aa le nangalake taly vao t’i Delilà, namahots’ aze vaho nanao ty hoe ama’e: O Simsone, ama’o o nte-Pilistio. Ie amy zao an-traño ao o mpamandroñeo. Fe tinam­pa’e hoe fole o taly am-pità’eo.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’i Delilà amy Simsone: Ampara’ henane nikobihe’o avao naho nitaroña’o vande; atalilio amako arè ty handrohizañe azo. Le hoe re ama’e: Naho ranjie’o an-tenoñe o randram-piton-dohakoo.
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.
Aa le vinandri’e ami’ty harake, naho hoe ty koi’e ama’e: O Simsone, ama’o o nte-Pilistio: Nibarakakaok’ amy firota’ey amy zao re vaho sininto amo komboo i harakey rekets’ i tenoñey.
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.”
Le hoe re ama’e, Aia ty hatao’o ty hoe: Kokoako, kanao tsy amako ty arofo’o? Ie fa nikobik’ ahy in-telo vaho mb’e tsy natalili’o amako ty talin-kaozara’o.
16 When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
Aa kanao tinindri’e lomoñandro lomoñandro an-drehake, naho nitolom-pañosik’ aze, le nirintike te hamoe’ay,
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.”
naho fonga nabora’e ama’e o añ’ arofo’eo ami’ty hoe: Mbe lia’e tsy nirangàm-piharatse ty lohako; ie nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-kovin-dreneko; aa naho harateñe le hienga ahy o hafatrarakoo vaho hihamavozo manahake ondaty ila’eo.
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.
Aa ie nioni’ i Delilà te hene nabora’e ty arofo’e, le nihitrife’e an-koike o talèm-Pilistio, ami’ty hoe: Mb’etoa aniany fa fonga binora’e amako ty an-tro’e ao, Aa le nihitrike mb’eo o talem-Pilistio reke-drala am-pità’e ao.
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.
Nampirote’e añ’ongo’e eo le kinanji’e t’indaty naho niharate’e i randrañe fito añambone’e rey naho niorotse nanolo-tsotry aze, fe nisitak’ ama’e i haozara’ey.
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.
Le hoe re, O Simsone, fa ama’o o nte-Pilistio. Tsekak’ amy firota’ey amy zao le nanao ty hoe: Hiavotse manahake tamo ila’eo, le hivoamboañe; fe tsy napota’e te nieng’ aze t’Iehovà.
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.
Aa le rinambe’ o nte-Pilistio, naho napoliti’ iareo o fihaino’eo; nen­dese’ iareo mb’e Azà mb’eo naho vinaho’ iareo an-daborìdy torisìke; vaho nandisañe am-porozò ao.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Ie añe, namototse nitombo o maroi’e niharateñeo.
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.”
Nampamorie’ o talèm-Pilistio amy zao ondatio hanao sorom-bey amy Dagone ‘ndrahare’ iareo vaho hirebeke; fa hoe iereo: Natolon’ añaharentika am-pitàn-tika t’i Simsone rafelahintikañey.
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.”
Aa ie nahaisak’ aze ondatio, le nandrenge an-drahare’ iareo, ami’ty hoe: Fa natolon-draharentika am-pitàntika i rafelahin­tikañey, i mpijoy o tànen-tikañeoy, i nanjamañe maro aman-tikañey.
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;
Ie nifale añ’arofo, le nanao ty hoe: Hitrifo am-balabey ao t’i Simsone, hihisa’ay. Aa le kinoi’ iareo boak’ am-porozò ao t’i Simsone hitohafa’ iareo le napo’ iareo añivo’ o fahañeo.
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.”
Le hoe t’i Simsone amy ajalahy nitañe ty fità’ey, ehe apoho iraho hitsapa o fahañe mitohañe ty anjomba toio, hiatoako.
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.
Ie amy zao nialindretse t’indaty naho rakemba amy anjom­bay; tao iaby o talem-Pilistio, vaho tan-tafo’e ey nisamba ty fikobihañe i Simsone ty lahilahy naho rakemba telo arivo varañe.
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.”
Aa le nikanjy Iehovà t’i Simsone ami’ ty hoe: Ry Iehovà Talè, ehe tiahio iraho amy henaneo avao, ehe ampaozaro ry Andria­nañahare, soa te ami’ty indraike toy avao ty hamaleako o nte-Pilistio ty amy masoko roey.
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.
Rinambe’ i Simsone amy zao o fahañe añivo ao mitohañe i anjombaio, nampionjonañe aze, vaho naronje’e, ty raike am-pità’e havana naho ty raike am-pità’e havia.
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.
Le hoe t’i Simsone: Angao hitrao-pikenkañe amo nte-Pilistio iraho, le naronje’e ami’ ty haozara’e iaby, vaho nikorovok’ amo talèo naho amy ze hene’ ondaty tam-po’e ao. Aa le nandikoatse ze vinono’e amy hene havelo’ey o zinama’e amy fikoromaha’eio.
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.
Le songa nizotso mb’eo o longo’eo naho ty anjomban-drae’e nandrambe aze naho nakare’ iareo vaho nalenteke añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole, an-kibori’ i Manoà rae’e. Nizaka Israele roapolo taon-dre.
