Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
Ní ọjọ́ kan Samsoni lọ sí Gasa níbi tí ó ti rí obìnrin panṣágà kan. Ó wọlé tọ̀ ọ́ láti sun ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
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.”
Àwọn ará Gasa sì gbọ́ wí pé, “Samsoni wà níbí.” Wọ́n sì yí agbègbè náà ká, wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ ní gbogbo òru náà ní ẹnu-bodè ìlú náà. Wọn kò mira ní gbogbo òru náà pé ní “àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ àwa yóò pa á.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Samsoni sùn níbẹ̀ di àárín ọ̀gànjọ́. Òun sì dìde ní ọ̀gànjọ́, ó fi ọwọ́ di àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn odi ìlú náà mú, pẹ̀lú òpó méjèèjì, ó sì fà wọ́n tu, pẹ̀lú ìdábùú àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà lára rẹ̀. Ó gbé wọn lé èjìká rẹ̀ òun sì gbé wọn lọ sí orí òkè tí ó kọjú sí Hebroni.
4 Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ó sì ní ìfẹ́ obìnrin kan ní àfonífojì Soreki, orúkọ ẹni tí í ṣe Dẹlila.
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.”
Àwọn ìjòyè Filistini sì lọ bá obìnrin náà, wọ́n sọ fún un wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá le tàn án kí òun sì fi àṣírí agbára rẹ̀ hàn ọ́, àti bí àwa ó ti lè borí rẹ̀, kí àwa sì dè é kí àwa sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan nínú wa yóò sì fún ọ ní ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀fà fàdákà.”
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
Torí náà Dẹlila sọ fún Samsoni pé, “Sọ àṣírí agbára ńlá rẹ fún mi àti bí wọ́n ti le dè ọ́, àti bí wọ́n ṣe lè borí rẹ.”
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.”
Samsoni dá a lóhùn wí pé, “Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fi okùn tútù méje tí ẹnìkan kò sá gbẹ dè mí, èmi yóò di aláìlágbára bí i gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.”
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
Àwọn olóyè Filistini sì mú okùn tútù méje tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò sá gbẹ wá fún Dẹlila òun sì fi wọ́n dè é.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn tí sá pamọ́ sínú yàrá, òun pè pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini ti dé láti mú ọ.” Ṣùgbọ́n òun já àwọn okùn náà bí òwú ti í já nígbà tí ó bá wà lẹ́bàá iná. Torí náà wọn kò mọ àṣírí agbára rẹ̀.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
Dẹlila sì sọ fún Samsoni pé, ìwọ ti tàn mí; o sì purọ́ fún mi. Wá báyìí kí o sì sọ bí a ti ṣe le dè ọ́.
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.”
Òun dáhùn pé, “Bí wọ́n bá lè fi okùn tuntun tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò tí ì lò rí dì mí dáradára, èmi yóò di aláìlágbára, èmi yóò sì dàbí àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.”
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.
Dẹlila sì mú àwọn okùn tuntun, ó fi wọ́n dì í. Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Filistini ti fi ara pamọ́ sínú yàrá, òun kígbe sí i pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini dé láti mú ọ,” òun sì já okùn náà kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ bí òwú.
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.”
Dẹlila sì tún sọ fún Samsoni pé, “Títí di ìsinsin yìí ìwọ sì ń tún tàn mí, o sì tún purọ́ fún mi. Sọ fún mi ọ̀nà tí wọ́n fi le dè ọ́.” Samsoni dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí ìwọ bá hun ìdí irun méjèèje tí ó wà ní orí mi pẹ̀lú okùn, tí ó sì le dáradára kí o sì fi ẹ̀mú mú un mọ́lẹ̀, èmi yóò di aláìlágbára bí àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.” Nígbà tí òun ti sùn, Dẹlila hun àwọn ìdí irun méjèèje tí ó wà ní orí rẹ̀,
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.
ó sì fi ìhunṣọ dè wọ́n. Ó sì tún pè é pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini dé láti mú ọ.” Òun sì jí ní ojú oorun, ó sì fa ìdè ìhunṣọ náà tu pẹ̀lú ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n fi kàn án mọ́lẹ̀.
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!”
Dẹlila sì sọ fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wí pé, ‘Èmi fẹ́ràn rẹ,’ nígbà tí ìwọ kò fi ọkàn tán mi. Èyí ni ìgbà kẹta tí ìwọ ti tàn mí jẹ, tí ìwọ kò sì sọ àṣírí ibi tí agbára ńlá rẹ gbé wà fún mi.”
16 Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
Ó sì ṣe nígbà tí ó fi ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ rọ̀ ọ́ ní ojoojúmọ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ títí dé bi pé ó sú dé òpin ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
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.”
Òun sì sọ ohun gbogbo tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ̀ fún un. Ó ní, “Abẹ kò tí ì kan orí mi rí, nítorí pé Nasiri, ẹni ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run ni mo jẹ́ láti ìgbà ìbí mi wá. Bí a bá fá irun orí mi, agbára mi yóò fi mí sílẹ̀, èmi yóò sì di aláìlágbára bí àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.”
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.
Nígbà tí Dẹlila rí i pé ó ti sọ ohun gbogbo fún òun tan, Dẹlila ránṣẹ́ sí àwọn ìjòyè Filistini pé, “Ẹ wá lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ó ti sọ ohun gbogbo fún mi.” Torí náà àwọn olóyè Filistini padà, wọ́n sì mú owó ìpinnu náà lọ́wọ́.
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.
Òun sì mú kí Samsoni sùn lórí itan rẹ̀, òun sì pe ọkùnrin kan láti fá àwọn ìdì irun orí rẹ̀ méjèèje, òun sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀. Agbára rẹ̀ sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
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.
Òun pè é wí pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini dé láti mú ọ.” Òun jí ní ojú oorun rẹ̀, ó sì sọ pé, “Èmi yóò jáde lọ bí í ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, kí èmi sì gba ara mi, kí n di òmìnira.” Ṣùgbọ́n òun kò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ti fi òun sílẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Filistini mú un, wọ́n yọ ojú rẹ̀ méjèèjì wọ́n sì mú un lọ sí Gasa. Wọ́n fi ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ idẹ dè é, wọ́n sì fi sí ibi iṣẹ́ ọlọ lílọ̀ nínú ilé túbú.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
Ṣùgbọ́n irun orí rẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í tún hù lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti fá a.
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.”
Àwọn ìjòyè, àwọn ará Filistini sì péjọpọ̀ láti ṣe ìrúbọ ńlá sí Dagoni ọlọ́run wọn àti láti ṣe ayẹyẹ wọ́n wí pé, ọlọ́run wa ti fi Samsoni ọ̀tá wa lé wa lọ́wọ́.
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.”
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rí Samsoni wọ́n yin ọlọ́run wọn wí pé, “Ọlọ́run wa ti fi ọ̀tá wa lé wa lọ́wọ́. Àní ẹni tí ó ti run ilẹ̀ wa ẹni tí ó ti pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú wa.”
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.
Nígbà tí inú wọn dùn gidigidi tí wọ́n ń yọ ayọ̀ ńlá, wọ́n pariwo pé, ẹ mú Samsoni wá kí ó wá dá wa lára yá. Wọ́n sì pe Samsoni jáde láti ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n náà, òun sì ń ṣeré fún wọn. Nígbà tí wọ́n mú un dúró láàrín àwọn òpó.
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.”
Samsoni sọ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tí ó di ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú pé, “Ẹ fi mí si ibi tí ọwọ́ mi yóò ti le tó àwọn òpó tí ó gbé tẹmpili dúró mú, kí èmi lè fẹ̀yìn tì wọ́n.”
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.
Ní àsìkò náà, tẹmpili yìí kún fún àwọn ọkùnrin àti obìnrin; gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè Filistini wà níbẹ̀, ní òkè ilé náà, níbi tí ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta àwọn ọkùnrin àti obìnrin tí ń wòran Samsoni bí òun ti ń ṣeré.
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Samsoni ké pe Olúwa wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, rántí mi. Háà Ọlọ́run jọ̀wọ́ fi agbára fún mi lẹ́ẹ̀kan yìí sí i, kí èmi lè gbẹ̀san lára àwọn Filistini nítorí àwọn ojú mi méjèèjì.”
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,
Samsoni sì na ọwọ́ mú àwọn òpó méjèèjì tí ó wà láàrín gbùngbùn, orí àwọn tí tẹmpili náà dúró lé, ó fi ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mú ọ̀kan àti ọwọ́ òsì mú èkejì, ó fi ara tì wọ́n,
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.
Samsoni sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi kú pẹ̀lú àwọn Filistini!” Òun sì fi agbára ńlá tì wọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ilé náà wó lu àwọn ìjòyè àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀. Báyìí ni ó pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nígbà ikú rẹ̀ ju ìgbà ayé rẹ̀ lọ.
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.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀ ní àpapọ̀ gòkè lọ wọ́n sì gbé e, wọ́n gbé e padà wá, wọ́n sì sin ín sí agbede-méjì Sora àti Eṣtaoli, sínú ibojì Manoa baba rẹ̀. Òun ti ṣe àkóso Israẹli ní ogún ọdún.
