Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
И иде Сампсон в Газу, и виде тамо жену блудницу и вниде к ней.
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 поведаша Газяном, глаголюще: прииде Сампсон семо. И обыдоша и подседоша ему всю нощь у врат градных, и утаишася всю нощь, глаголюще: дондеже осветает утро, и убием его.
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.
И спа Сампсон до полунощи: и воста в полунощи, и восхити двери у врат града со обеими вереями, и подя оныя с заворою, и возложи я на рамена своя, и вознесе я на верх горы, яже пред лицем Хеврона, и положи их тамо.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
И бысть по сем, и возлюби жену от водотечи Сориховы: имя же ей 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 взыдоша к ней князи иноплеменничи и рекоша ей: прельсти его, и виждь, в чем есть крепость его великая, и чим преможем его, и свяжем его, яко смирити его: и мы тебе дадим кийждо тысящу и сто сребреников.
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 рече Далида к Сампсону: повеждь ми ныне, в чем крепость твоя (тако) великая, и чим свяжешися и смиришися?
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.”
И рече ей Сампсон: аще свяжут мя седмию тятивами сырыми неистлевшими, и изнемогу, и буду яко един от человек.
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 принесоша ей князи от иноплеменник седмь тятив мокрых неистлевших, и связа его ими:
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.
и подсада ему седяше в храмине. И рече ему: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. И расторже тятивы, аки бы кто расторгнул соскание изгребий, егда коснется ему огнь: и не уведася крепость его.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
И рече Далида к Сампсону: се, прельстил еси мя, глаголя ко мне лжу: ныне убо повеждь ми, чим свяжешися?
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.”
И рече к ней: аще вяжуще свяжут мя ужы новыми, имиже не делано, и изнемогу, и буду яко един от человек.
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 взя Далида ужы новы и связа его ими, и рече ему: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. Подсада же седяше в храмине. И расторже я от руку своею аки нить.
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.”
И рече Далида к Сампсону: даже до ныне прельщал мя еси и глаголал ко мне лжу: повеждь ми убо, чим свяжешися? И рече ей: аще сплетеши седмь плениц влас главы моея спрядением и вбиеши колом в стену, и буду немощен яко един от человек.
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 успи Далида его на коленех своих, и бысть внегда уснути ему, взя Далида седмь плениц влас главы его и сплете спрядением и вонзе колом в стену, и рече: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. И возбну от сна своего и исторже кол сплетением из стены, и не уведася крепость его.
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!”
И рече к нему Далида: како глаголеши, возлюбих тя, и сердце твое несть со мною? Се, третие прельстил еси мя, и не поведал еси мне, в чем крепость твоя великая.
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
И бысть егда стужи ему словесы своими по вся дни, и убеди его, и изнеможе даже до умертвия.
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.”
И поведа ей все сердце свое, и рече к ней: железо не взыде на главу мою, яко назорей есмь аз Господу от утробы матере моея: аще убо обриюся, отступит от мене крепость моя, и изнемогу, и буду якоже вси человецы.
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.
И виде Далида, яко поведа ей все сердце свое, посла и призва князи иноплеменничи, глаголющи: взыдите еще единою, яко поведа ми все сердце свое. И взыдоша к ней вси князи иноплеменничи, и принесоша сребро в руках своих.
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.
И успи Далида Сампсона на коленех своих: и призва стригача, и остриже седмь плениц влас главы его: и нача смирятися, и отступи крепость его от него.
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 рече Далида: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. И возбудися от сна своего и рече: изыду якоже и прежде, и отрясуся. И не разуме, яко Господь отступи от него.
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.
И яша его иноплеменницы, и избодоша ему очи, и введоша его в Газу, и оковаша его путы медяны: и бяше меля в храмине темничней.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
И начаша власы главы его расти по острижении.
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 князи иноплеменничи собрашася пожрети жертву велику Дагону богу своему и возвеселитися, и рекоша: предаде бог наш в руки нашя Сампсона врага нашего.
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.”
И видеша его людие, и похвалиша бога своего, яко реша: предаде бог наш в руки нашя врага нашего, опустошившаго землю нашу, и иже умножи язвенных наших.
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 бысть егда возблажа сердце их, и рекоша: призовите Сампсона из дому темничнаго, и да играет пред нами. И призваша Сампсона из дому темничнаго, и играша пред ними: и заушаху его, и поставиша его между столпы.
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.”
И рече Сампсон ко юноши держащему его за руку: остави мене, да осяжу столпы, на нихже дом сей утвержден есть, и опруся на них. Юноша же сотвори тако.
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.
Дом же бяше полн мужей и жен, и тамо вси князи иноплеменничи: на крове же том до трех тысящ мужей и жен, зряще ругаемаго Сампсона.
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.”
И воззва Сампсон ко Господу и рече: Адонаи Господи, Господи Сил, помяни мя ныне, и укрепи мя еще единою, Боже, да воздам мщение едино за два ока моя Филистимом.
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 объя Сампсон оба столпа средния, на нихже храмина бяше утверждена, и опреся на них, держя един рукою десною, а другий левою.
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.
И рече Сампсон: да умрет душа моя со иноплеменники. И преклонися крепостию, и паде храмина на князи и на вся люди иже в ней: и бысть мертвых, ихже умертви Сампсон при смерти своей, множае неже ихже умертви в животе своем.
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.
И снидоша братия его и весь дом отца его, и взяша его: и взыдоша, и погребоша его между Сараи и между Есфаолом во гробе Маноя отца его. И сей суди Израилю лет двадесять. (и воста по Сампсоне Емегар сын Енань, и уби от иноплеменников шесть сот мужей кроме скота, и спасе и он Израиля.)
