< Judges 16 >

1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
Napan ni Samson idiay Gaza ket nakakita isuna sadiay iti maysa a balangkantis, ket nakikaidda isuna kenkuana.
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.”
Naibaga kadagiti Gazita, “Immay ditoy ni Samson.” Linakub dagiti taga- Gaza ti lugar, ken nagpatpatnag nga inurayda isuna a nalimed iti ayan ti ruangan ti siudad. Naulimekda bayat iti nagpatnag. Ket kinunkunada, “Aguraytayo agingga iti aglawag, ket papatayentayo isuna.”
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.
Nagidda ni Samson agingga iti tengnga ti rabii. Bimmangon isuna iti tengnga ti rabii ket iniggamanna ti ruangan ti siudad ken dagiti dua a postena daytoy. Pinarutna dagitoy, ti balunet ken dagiti amin, binaklayna dagitoy nga impan iti tapaw ti turod, iti sango ti Hebron.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Kalpasan daytoy ket nagayat ni Samson iti maysa a babai nga agnanaed idiay tanap ti Sorek. Ti naganna ket Delila.
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.”
Immay kenkuana dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo ket kinunada kenkuana, “Allilawem ni Samson tapno kitaem no sadino ti paggapgapuan iti pigsana, ket no ania a wagas a maabakmi isuna, tapno mareppettayo isuna tapno ibabaintayo isuna. Aramidem daytoy, ket tunggal maysa kadakami ket mangted kenka iti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak.”
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
Ket kinuna ngarud ni Delila kenni Samson, “Pangaasim, ibagam kaniak no apay a napigsaka unay, ken no kasano a mareppetnaka ti maysa a tao tapno matengngelka?”
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.”
Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “No reppetendak babaen iti pito a sadiwa a lapnit ti bai ti pana a saan pay a nagango ket agkapsutakto ken agbalinak a kasla iti sabali a tao.”
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
Ket nangiyeg dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo kenni Delila iti pito a sadiwa a lapnit ti bai ti pana a saan pay nagango, ket rineppetna ni Samson babaen kadagitoy.
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.
Ita, addaan isuna kadagiti lallaki nga aglemlemmeng a nalimed iti makin-uneg a siledna. Kinuna kenkuana, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo!” Ngem pinugsatna dagiti lapnit ti bai iti pana a kasla maysa a sinulid no naidekket daytoy iti apoy. Ket saanda a naammoan ti palimed ti pigsana.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
Ket kinuna ni Delila kenni Samson, “Kastoy iti panangallilawmo ken panangulbodmo kaniak. Pangaasim ta ibagam kaniak no kasanodaka a maparmek.”
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.”
Kinuna kenkuana, “No reppetendak babaen kadagiti barbaro a tali a saan pay a nausar ket agbalinakto a nakapsut ken kasla iti sabali a tao.”
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.
Nangala ngarud ni Delila kadagiti barbaro a tali ket inreppetna dagitoy kenkuana, ket kunana kenkuana, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo.” Dagiti lallaki nga agur-uray ket adda iti makin-uneg a siled. Ngem pinugsat ni Samson dagiti tali manipud kadagiti imana a kasla maysa dagitoy a sinulid.
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.”
Kinuna ni Delila kenni Samson, “Agingga ita ket al-allilawennak ken ul-ulbodannak. Ibagam kaniak no kasanodaka a maparmek.” Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “No mangabelka iti pito a linabag iti buokko iti tela, ket ilansam dagitoy iti pagabelan, agbalinakto a kasla iti sabali a tao.”
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.
Kabayatan a nakaturog isuna, nangabel ni Delila kadagiti pito a linabag iti buokna iti tela ket inlansana iti pagabelan, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Samson! Umay dagiti Filisteo kenka.” Nagriing isuna ket pinarutna ti tela ken ti lansa manipud iti pagabelan.
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!”
Kinunana kenkuana, “Kasano a kunam nga, 'Ay-ayatenka,' no saanmo met nga ibingay kaniak ti palimedmo? Rinabrabaknak iti mamintallo a daras ket saanmo nga imbagbaga no kasanoka a naaddaan iti kasta a pigsa.”
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
Inaldaw a rengrengenna ni Samson babaen iti saona, ken pilpilitenna iti kasta unay nga urayla tarigagayan ni Samson ti matay.
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.”
Imbaga ngarud ni Samson kenkuana amin ket kinuna kenkuana, “Saanko pay a pulos a pinapukisan ti buok iti ulok, gapu ta maysaak a Nazireo a maipaay iti Apo manipud iti aanakan ti inak. No mapukisan ti ulok, ket panawannak ti pigsak, ket agbalinak a nakapsut ken kas iti sabali a tao.”
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.
Idi nakita ni Delila nga imbagana kenkuana ti kinapudno maipapan iti amin a banag, nangibaon ken pinaayabanna dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo, kunana, “Umaykayo manen gapu ta imbaganan kaniak ti amin a banag.” Ket immay kenkuana dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo ket tugotda dagiti pirak kadagiti imada.
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.
Pinaturogna ni Samson iti saklotna. Nangayab isuna iti maysa a tao a mangpukis kadagiti pito a linabag iti buokna, ket rinugianna a parukmaen isuna gapu ta nagpukawen ti pigsana.
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.
Kinuna ni Delila, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo.” Nakariing isuna ket kinunana, “Makaruk-atakto a kasla iti dadduma a tiempo ket iwagsakkonto ti bagik.” Ngem saanna nga ammo a pinanawanen ni Yahweh isuna.
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.
Tiniliw isuna dagiti Filisteo ket kinautda dagiti matana. Insalogda isuna idiay Gaza ket ginalutanda isuna babaen iti kawar a bronse. Pinatayyekna ti paggilingan a bato idiay pagbaludan.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
Ngem nangrugi manen nga umatiddog ti buokna kalpasan ti pannakapukisna.
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.”
Naguummong dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo tapno mangidatonda iti dakkel a sakrifisio kenni Dagon a diosda, ken tapno agrag-oda. Gapu ta kinunada, “Pinarmek ti diostayo ni Samson, ti kabusortayo ket intedna iti imatayo.”
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.”
Idi makita isuna dagiti tattao, dinaydayawda ti diosda, ta kinunada, “Pinarmek ti diostayo ti kabusortayo ken intedna isuna kadatayo—ti manangdadael iti pagiliantayo, a nangpatay iti adu kadatayo.”
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.
Idi agramrambakda, kinunada, “Ayabanyo ni Samson, tapno pagkakatawaennatayo.” Pinaruarda ni Samson iti pagbaludan, ket pinagkatkatawana ida. Pinagtakderda isuna iti nagbaetan dagiti adigi.
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.”
Kinuna ni Samson iti ubing a lalaki a nangkibin kenkuana, “Ipalubosmo a maarikapko dagiti adigi a nagsaadan ti pasdek tapno makasanggirak kadagitoy.”
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.
Ita, napno ti balay kadagiti babbai ken lallaki. Adda idiay dagiti amin a mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo. Adda iti ngato ti balay iti agarup tallo ribu a lallaki ken babbai, nga agbuybuya bayat a parparagsaken ida ni Samson.
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.”
Immawag ni Samson kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Apo Yahweh, lagipennak! Pangaasim ta papigsaennak iti maminsan laeng iti daytoy a kanito, O Dios, tapno makaibalesak a maminpinsan kadagiti Filisteo iti panangkautda kadagiti matak.”
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,
Tiniritir ni Samson dagiti dua nga akin-tengnga nga adigi a nagsaadan ti pasdek, ken nagsanggir isuna kadagitoy, maysa nga adigi iti makannawan nga imana ken ti maysa pay iti kannigidna.
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.
Kinuna ni Samson, “Bay-annak a matay a kadduak dagiti Filisteo!” Induronna iti amin a pigsana, ket narba ti pasdek ken naigabor daytoy kadagiti mangiturturay ken iti amin a tattao nga adda idiay. Isu a dagiti natay a napatayna idi matay isuna ket ad-adu ngem iti pinapatayna bayat iti panagbiagna.
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.
Ket simmalog dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki ken amin nga adda iti balay ni amana, ket innalada isuna, ken insublida ket intanemda isuna iti nagbaetan ti Zora ken Estaol, iti lugar a nakaitaneman ni Manoa, nga amana. Nagbalin ni Samson nga ukom iti Israel bayat ti duapulo a tawen.
