Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
Potem je Samson odšel v Gazo in tam videl pocestnico in šel noter k njej.
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.”
To je bilo povedano prebivalcem Gaze, rekoč: »Samson je prišel sèm.« Obkolili so ga in vso noč prežali nanj v velikih vratih mesta in vso noč so mirovali, rekoč: »Zjutraj, ko je dan, ga bomo umorili.«
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.
Samson je ležal do polnoči, ob polnoči pa je vstal, vzel vrata velikih vrat mesta in dva podboja in z njimi odšel proč, zapah in vse in si jih naložil na svoje rame in jih odnesel gor na vrh hriba, ki je pred Hebrónom.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Potem se je pripetilo, da je ljubil žensko v dolini Sorék, ki ji je bilo ime Dalíla.
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.”
Filistejski knezi so prišli gor k njej in ji rekli: »Premami ga in poglej kje tiči njegova velika moč in s kakšnimi sredstvi bi lahko prevladali zoper njega, da bi ga lahko zvezali, da ga oslabimo, mi pa ti bomo dali, vsak izmed nas, tisoč sto koščkov srebra.«
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje leži tvoja velika moč in s čim bi bil lahko zvezan, da se te oslabi.«
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 ji je rekel: »Če me zvežejo s sedmimi zelenimi vrvmi, ki niso bile nikoli posušene, potem bom slaboten in bom kakor drug človek.«
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
Potem so filistejski knezi gor k njej prinesli sedem zelenih vrvi, ki niso bile posušene in ona ga je z njimi zvezala.
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.
Torej tam so v zasedi prežali možje, ki so z njo ostajali v sobi. Rekla mu je: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Potrgal je vrvi, kakor se pretrga nit prediva, ko se dotakne ognja. Tako njegova moč ni bila poznana.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Glej, zasmehoval si me in mi govoril laži. Sedaj mi povej, prosim te, s čim bi bil lahko zvezan.«
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.”
Rekel ji je: »Če bi me trdno zvezali z novimi vrvmi, ki niso bile nikoli uporabljene, potem bi bil šibek in bi bil kakor drug človek.«
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.
Zato je Dalíla vzela nove vrvi, ga z njimi zvezala in mu rekla: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« In tam so bili prežavci v zasedi, ki so ostajali v sobi. In potrgal jih je iz svojih rok kakor nit.
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.”
Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Doklej si me zasmehoval in mi govoril laži. Povej mi s čim naj bi bil zvezan.« Rekel ji je: »Če stkeš sedem pramenov moje glave s tkalčjim osnutkom.«
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.
In pritrdila ga je z iglo in mu rekla: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Prebudil se je iz svojega spanja in odšel s tkalsko iglo in s tkalčjim osnutkom.
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!”
Rekla mu je: »Kako lahko rečeš: ›Ljubim te, ‹ ko tvoje srce ni z menoj?« Že trikrat si me zasmehoval in mi nisi povedal, v čem leži tvoja velika moč.
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
Ko ga je dnevno pritiskala s svojimi besedami in ga silila, tako da je bila njegova duša vznemirjena do smrti, se je pripetilo,
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.”
da ji je izpovedal vse svoje srce in ji rekel: »Britev ni prišla na mojo glavo, kajti bil sem nazirec Bogu od maternice svoje matere. Če bom obrit, potem bo moja moč odšla od mene in postanem slaboten in bom podoben kateremukoli drugemu človeku.«
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.
Ko je Dalíla videla, da ji je izpovedal vse svoje srce, je poslala in dala poklicati filistejske kneze, rekoč: »Pridite tokrat gor, kajti razodel mi je vse svoje srce.« Potem so gor k njej prišli gospodarji Filistejcev in v svoji roki prinesli denar.
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.
Pripravila ga je, da je zaspal na njenih kolenih in dala poklicati moža, da mu iz njegove glave odstriže sedem pramenov in ga začela poniževati in njegova moč je odšla od njega.
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.
Rekla je: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Prebudil se je iz svojega spanja in rekel: »Šel bom ven kakor ob drugih časih poprej in se stresel.« Ni pa vedel, da je Gospod odšel od njega.
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.
Toda Filistejci so ga prijeli in iztaknili njegove oči in ga privedli dol v Gazo in ga zvezali z bronastimi okovi in mlel je v jetnišnici.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
Vendar so potem, ko je bil ostrižen, lasje njegove glave začeli ponovno rasti.
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.”
Potem so se filistejski knezi zbrali skupaj, da svojemu bogu Dagónu darujejo veliko klavno daritev in da se veselijo, kajti rekli so: »Naš bog je v našo roko izročil našega sovražnika Samsona.«
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.”
Ko ga je ljudstvo zagledalo, so hvalili svojega boga, kajti rekli so: »Naš bog je v naše roke izročil našega sovražnika in uničevalca naše dežele, ki je umoril številne izmed nas.«
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.
Pripetilo pa se je, ko so bila njihova srca vesela, da so rekli: »Pokličite Samsona, da nam bo lahko naredil zabavo.« Iz jetnišnice so dali poklicati Samsona in naredil jim je zabavo. Postavili so ga med stebre.
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 pa je rekel dečku, ki ga je držal za roko: »Dopusti mi, da lahko čutim stebre, na katerih stoji hiša, da se lahko naslonim nanje.«
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.
Torej hiša je bila polna mož in žena in vsi filistejski knezi so bili tam in tam je bilo na strehi okoli tri tisoč mož in žena, ki so gledali, medtem ko jih je Samson zabaval.
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.”
Samson pa je zaklical h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, spomni se me, prosim te in okrepi me, prosim te, samo [še] tokrat, oh Bog, da se bom lahko takoj maščeval Filistejcem za svoji dve očesi.«
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,
Samson se je oklenil dveh srednjih nosilnih stebrov, na katerih, je slonela hiša, na enega s svojo desnico in na drugega s svojo levico.
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 je rekel: »Naj umrem s Filistejci.« Z vso svojo močjo se je sklonil in hiša je padla na kneze in na vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njej. Tako je bilo mrtvih, ki jih je usmrtil ob svoji smrti, več kakor tistih, ki jih je usmrtil v svojem življenju.
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.
Potem so njegovi bratje in vsa hiša njegovega očeta prišli dol, ga vzeli in ga prinesli gor ter ga pokopali med Coro in Eštaólom, na grobišču njegovega očeta Manóaha. Izraelu je sodil dvajset let.
