Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
Sie len ah Samson el som nu Gaza, sie siti lun mwet Philistia. Ingo el liyauk sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac el utyak ac motulla yorol ke fong sac.
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.”
Ke mwet Gaza elos lohng lah Samson el oasr we, elos som raunela acn sac ac soanel ke mutunpot lun siti sac. Elos misla ke fong nufon sac ac fahk, “Soano nu ke lenelik, na kut fah unilya.”
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.
Tusruktu Samson el oan nwe infulwen fong, na el tukakek, tulakunla srungul ke mutunpot sac, wi sru lukwa ac sukan kaul mutunoa. El lippisauk ma inge ac usak nwe ke mangon eol soko oan ngeti nu Hebron.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Tukun ma inge, Samson el lungseyak sie mutan su muta Infahlfal Sorek. Inen mutan sac pa Delilah.
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.”
Leum limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos som nu yurin mutan sac ac fahk, “Srike lah kom ac ku in oru elan fahkot lah mea oru ku se lal inge, ac mea kut ku in oru tuh kut in kutangulla ac kaprilya ac kunausla kuiyal. Kais sie sesr ac fah sot nu sum sie tausin siofok ipin silver.”
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
Na Delilah el som ac fahk nu sel Samson, “Fahkma nu sik lah mea se oru ku se lom ingan. Mwet se fin lungse kaprikomi ac kunausla kuiyom, el ac oru fuka?”
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.”
Ac Samson el fahk, “Mwet se fin kapriyuwi ke ah in pisr itkosr su srakna sasu ac soenna paola, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
Na leum lun mwet Philistia elos use ah in pisr na sasu itkosr su soenna paola, ac sang nu sel Delilah, ac el sang kaprilya Samson.
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.
Delilah el tuh okanla kutu mwet ke sie pac infukil, na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Na Samson el wotyalik ah in pisr inge oana ke turet soko ac wotelik ke ac pusralla e uh. Ouinge elos tiana konauk lah ku lal tuku ya me.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
Na Delilah el fahk nu sel Samson, “Liye, kom tiana kaskas pwaye nu sik, a kom aklalfonyeyu! Nunak munas, fahk nu sik lah ac orek fuka in kapiri kom.”
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.”
Na Samson el fahk mu, “Mwet fin kapriyuwi ke sucl sasu ma soenna orekmakinyuk, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
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.
Ouinge Delilah el sang kutu sucl sasu kaprilya. Na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” (Oasr na mwet soano ke sie pac infukil.) Na Samson el sifilpa wotyalik sucl ekasr ah oana turet uh.
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.”
Na Delilah el sifilpa fahk nu sel Samson, “Kom srakna aklalfonyeyu ac kikiap nu sik. Fahkma lah ac orek fuka in kapiri kom.” Samson el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Kom fin orani aunsuf nu ke srup itkosr ac sang otwela nu ke sie mwe orek nuknuk, ac sang sak in mwe otwot soko ah, ac itungya, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
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.
Na Delilah el oru tuh Samson elan motulla, na el orani aunsifal nu ke srup itkosr, ac otwela nu ke mwe orek nuknuk, ac itungya ke sak in mwe otwot sac, na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Na Samson el ngutalik ac tulakunla aunsifal liki mwe orek nuknuk sac.
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!”
Na Delilah el fahk nu sel, “Efu ku kom fahk mu kom lungse nga, a kom tiana fahk ke insiom na pwaye— Kom kiapweyula pacl tolu, a kom tiana akkalemye lah mea oru ku se lom ingan.”
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
El kwafe ouinge nu sel len nukewa, nwe ke na Samson el arulana ulla sel,
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.”
ac el tari na fahk na pwaye ma el siyuk sel ah. El mu, “Wangin sie pacl insifuk kalkulla. Ke nga isusla elos sriyula nu sin God tuh nga in sie mwet Nazirite. Fin kalkulla sifuk, na ku luk uh ac wanginla, ac nga ac fah munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
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.
Ke Delilah el akilen lah Samson el kaskas pwaye nu sel, na el sapla nu sin leum lun mwet Philistia ac fahk, “Sifilpa foloko. El akkalemye na pwaye ma nukewa nu sik.” Ouinge elos tuku ac us mani inpaolos.
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.
Delilah el akmotulyal Samson finyepal, na el sap sie mwet ah in kalla sripin aunsuf itkosr ke sifal. Na Delilah el mutawauk in akkasrkusrakyal, ac ku lal Samson mutawauk wanginla lukel.
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.
Na mutan sac wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Ke el ngutalik, el nunku mu el ac sukosok oana meet ah. Tusruktu el tiana etu lah LEUM GOD El som lukel.
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.
Mwet Philistia elos sruokilya, ac tipalla atronmutal, ac usalla nu Gaza. Elos kaprilya ke mwe kapir bronze ac usalla tuh elan orekma ke mwe ilil se in presin ah.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
Na aunsifal sifilpa mutawauk in kapak.
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.”
Leum lun mwet Philistia elos fahsreni tuh elos in engan ac kisakin mwe kisa lulap nu sel Dagon, god lalos. Elos on ac fahk, “God lasr el eisalma Samson, mwet lokoalok lasr, nu inpaosr.”
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.”
Ke mwet ah liyal, elos kaksakin god lalos ac fahk, “Mwet lokoalok lasr su kunausla acn sesr ac uniya mwet puspis lasr, god lasr el eisalma nu inpaosr.”
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.
Ke yohk engan lalos ah, elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Usalu Samson elan akpwarye kut.” Na elos usalu Samson liki presin ac sap elan tu inmasrlon sru lulap ah, ac akpwaryalos.
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 el fahk nu sin tulik se ma pwanul ah, “Pwenyula nu yen ma nga ac ku in kahlya sru ma loango lohm uh ngan mau ku in fungla kac.”
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.
Lohm sac tingtingi ke mukul ac mutan. Leum lun mwet Philistia kewa muta pac we, ac apkuran in tolu tausin mukul ac mutan elos muta fin mangon lohm ah ngeti liye ma Samson el oru ah.
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.”
Na Samson el pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nunak munas esamyu. O God, nga kwafe sum tuh kom in sifilpa ase ku nu sik ke pacl sefanna lula inge, tuh nga fah ku in foloksak nu sin mwet Philistia inge ke po sefanna, ke sripen atronmutuk.”
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,
Na Samson el saplakang nu ke sru lulap lukwa ma oan infulwa mwe loango lohm sac. El filiya la paol ke soko, ac la nu ke soko, ac mutawauk in sinukun,
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.
ac el wowoyak ac fahk, “Lela nga in misa wi mwet Philistia inge!” Na el sang kuiyal nufon sinukun sru ah, na lohm sac putati nu fin leum limekosr ac mwet saya nukewa. Ouinge, pisen mwet el uniya ke el misa ah alukela pisen mwet el tuh uniya ke pacl el moul ah.
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.
Tamulel lal ac mwet nukewa in sou lun papa tumal ah elos tuku in eis manol. Elos folokunla ac piknilya ke kulyuk lal Manoah, papa tumal ah, inmasrlon Zorah ac Eshtaol. Samson el tuh mwet nununku lun mwet Israel ke yac longoul.
