Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
Chiengʼ moro achiel Samson nodhi Gaza, kama nonenoe nyako moro ma jachode mi odhi mondo oterre kode.
2 When the Gazites heard that Samson was there, they surrounded that place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They were quiet throughout the night, saying, “Let us wait until dawn; then we will kill him.”
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.”
3 But Samson lay there only until midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain overlooking Hebron.
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.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Bangʼ mano, nomako osiep hera gi nyako ma nyinge Delila e Holo mar Sorek.
5 The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”
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.”
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
Omiyo Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Nyisa ane kuma tekoni ae kendo kaka inyalo maki mi tweyi.”
7 Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man.”
Samson nodwoke niya, “Ka ngʼato otweya gi tonde abiriyo manyien mapok otiyo, to abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
Eka jotelo mag jo-Filistia nokelone Delila tonde abiriyo manyien mapok otiyo, eka notweye gi tondego.
9 While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.
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.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
Eka Delila nowachone Samson niya, “Isekawa ngʼama ofuwo; ne iwuonda. Bi mondo koro inyisa kaka inyalo tweyi.”
11 He replied, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.”
Nowachone niya, “Ka ngʼato otweya moridore gi tonde manyien mapok otiyo, to abiro bedo manyap machal gi ngʼato angʼata.”
12 So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.
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.
13 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.”
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
14 So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web. Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.
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.
15 “How can you say, ‘I love you,’” she asked, “when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and failed to reveal to me the source of your great strength!”
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.”
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
Noromo Samson gi wachni pile ka pile manomiyo koro odwaro mana dere.
17 Samson told her all that was in his heart: “My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man.”
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.”
18 When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: “Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.
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.
19 And having lulled him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to subdue him, and his strength left him.
Delila nohoyo Samson mi nonindo koteno wiye kuome, eka noluongo ngʼato mondo obi oliel yie wiye mane osekad nyadibiriyo. Bangʼ mano tekre norumo.
20 Then she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” When Samson awoke from his sleep, he thought, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
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.
21 Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze shackles and forced to grind grain in the prison.
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.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
To bangʼe yie wiye nochako twi mos mos.
23 Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon. They rejoiced and said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands.”
Koro jotend jo-Filistia nochokore mondo gitim misango maduongʼ ne Dagon ma nyasachgi, negitimo nyasi kagiwacho niya, “Nyasachwa osechiwo Samson ma jasikwa e lwetwa.”
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god, saying: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy who destroyed our land and multiplied our dead.”
Ka ji nonene, negipako nyasachgi, kagiwacho niya, “Nyasachwa osechiwo jasikwa e lwetwa, ngʼatno mane oketho pinywa mi omiyo onegwa mangʼeny.”
25 And while their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison to entertain them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
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,
26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them.”
Samson nowachone jatich mane omako lwete niya, “Keta ane kama anyalo muloe sirni mosiro hekaluni, mondo omi ayiengra kuomgi.”
27 Now the temple was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain them.
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.
28 Then Samson called out to the LORD: “O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes.”
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.”
29 And Samson reached out for the two central pillars supporting the temple. Bracing himself against them with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other,
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,
30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people in it. So in his death he killed more than he had killed in his life.
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.
31 Then Samson’s brothers and his father’s family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
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.
