Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
Потом отиде Самсон у Газу, и онде виде једну жену курву, и уђе к њој.
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.”
И људима у Гази би казано: Дође Самсон овамо. И опколише и вребаше га целу ноћ на вратима градским; и стајаху у потаји целу ноћ говорећи: Док сване, убићемо га.
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.
Али Самсон спавав до поноћи уста у поноћи, и шчепа врата градска с оба довратка и ишчупа их с преворницом заједно, и метну их на рамена и однесе на врх горе која је према Хеврону.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
После тога замилова девојку на потоку Сорику, којој беше име Далида.
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.”
И дођоше к њој кнезови филистејски и рекоше јој: Превари га и искушај где му стоји велика снага и како би смо му досадили да га свежемо и савладамо; а ми ћемо ти дати сваки по хиљаду и сто сребрника.
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
И Далида рече Самсону: Хајде кажи ми где стоји твоја велика снага и чим би се могао свезати и савладати.
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.”
А Самсон јој рече: Да ме свежу у седам гужава сирових неосушених, онда бих изгубио снагу и био као и други човек.
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
И донесоше јој кнезови филистејски седам гужава сирових, још неосушених, и она га свеза њима.
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.
А код ње беше заседа у соби; и она му рече: Ето Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он покида гужве, као што се кида конац од кудеље кад осети ватру; и не дозна се за снагу његову.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
Потом рече Далида Самсону: Гле, преварио си ме, и слагао си ми; него хајде кажи ми чим би се могао свезати.
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.”
А он јој рече: Да ме добро свежу новим ужима којима није ништа рађено, тада бих изгубио снагу и био бих као други човек.
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.
И Далида узе нова ужа, и свеза га њима, пак му рече: Ето Филистеји на те Самсоне! А заседа беше у соби. А он раскиде с руку ужа као конац.
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.”
Тада рече Далида Самсону: Једнако ме вараш и лажеш ми; кажи ми чим би се могао свезати? А он јој рече: Да седам прамена косе на глави мојој привијеш на вратило.
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.
И она заглавивши вратило коцем, рече: Ево Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он се пробуди од сна, и истрже колац и основу и вратило.
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!”
Опет му она рече: Како можеш говорити: Љубим те, кад срце твоје није код мене? Већ си ме три пута преварио не хотећи ми казати где ти је велика снага.
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
И она му досађиваше својим речима сваки дан и наваљиваше на њ, и душа му пренеможе да умре.
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.”
Те јој отвори цело срце своје, и рече јој: Бритва није никад прешла преко главе моје, јер сам назиреј Божји од утробе матере своје; да се обријем, оставила би ме снага моја и ослабио бих, и био бих као сваки човек
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.
А Далида видећи да јој је отворио цело срце своје, посла и позва кнезове филистејске поручивши им: Ходите сада, јер ми је отворио цело срце своје. Тада дођоше кнезови филистејски к њој и донесоше новце у рукама својим.
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.
А она га успава на крилу свом, и дозва човека те му обрија седам прамена косе с главе, и она га прва свлада кад га остави снага његова.
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.
И она рече: Ето Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он пробудивши се од сна рече: Изаћи ћу као и пре и отећу се; јер не знаше да је Господ одступио од њега.
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.
Тада га ухватише Филистеји, и ископаше му очи, и одведоше га у Газу и оковаше га у двоје вериге бронзане; и мељаше у тамници.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
А коса на глави његовој поче расти као што је била кад га обријаше.
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.”
И кнезови филистејски скупише се да принесу велику жртву Дагону богу свом, и да се провеселе, па рекоше: Предаде нам бог наш у руке наше Самсона непријатеља нашег.
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.”
Такође и народ видевши га хваљаше бога свог говорећи: Предаде нам бог наш у руке наше непријатеља нашег и затирача земље наше и који поби толике између нас.
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.
И кад се развесели срце њихово рекоше: Зовите Самсона да нам игра. И дозваше Самсона из тамнице да им игра, и наместише га међу два стуба.
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.”
Тада Самсон рече момку који га држаше за руку: Пусти ме, да опипам стубове на којима стоји кућа, да се наслоним на њих.
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.
А кућа беше пуна људи и жена и сви кнезови филистејски беху онде; и на крову беше око три хиљаде људи и жена, који гледаху како Самсон игра.
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.”
Тада Самсон завапи ка Господу и рече: Господе, Господе! Опомени ме се, молим те, и укрепи ме, молим те, само сада, о Боже! Да се осветим једанпут Филистејима за оба ока своја.
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,
И загрли Самсон два стуба средња, на којима стајаше кућа, и наслони се на њих, на један десном а на други левом руком својом.
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.
Па онда рече Самсон: Нека умрем с Филистејима. И належе јако, и паде кућа на кнезове и на сав народ који беше у њој; и би мртвих које поби умирући више него оних које поби за живота свог.
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.
После дођоше браћа његова и сав дом оца његовог, и узеше га, и вративши се погребоше га између Сараје и Естола у гробу Маноја оца његовог. А он би судија Израиљу двадесет година.
