Judges 16
1 Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.
I HO aku la o Samesona i Gaza, a ike iho la ilaila i kekahi wahine hookamakama, a komo aku la io na la.
2 And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.
Haiia'ku la i ko Gaza, Ua hiki mai nei o Samesona. Hoopuni iho la lakou ia wahi, a hoohalua ia ia, ia po a ao, ma ka puka o ke kulanakauhale, a moe malie no ia po a pau, i iho la, A kakahiaka, i ke ao ana ae, make no oia ia kakou.
3 And Samson was there till the middle of the night; then he got up, and took a grip on the doors of the town, pulling them up, together with their two supports and their locks, and put them on his back and took them up to the top of the hill in front of Hebron.
Moe iho la o Samesona, a iwaena konu o ka po; alaila, ala mai la ia iwaena konu o ka po, a lawe iho la i na pani o ke kulanakauhale, a me na lapauwila elua, unuhi ae la ia laua me ka hoaka o ka puka, kau iho la maluna o kona mau poohiwi, a lawe aku la iluna pono o kahi puu, ma ke alo o Heberona.
4 Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.
A mahope iho, aloha ae la ia i kekahi wahine ma ke kahawai o Soreka, o Delila kona inoa.
5 And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.
Pii ae la na'lii o Pilisetia io na la, i ae la ia ia, E hoowalewale oe ia ia, a e nana hoi i kahi o kona ikaika nui, a me ka mea e lanakila'i makou maluna ona, i nakinaki makou ia ia, a pilikia ia; alaila, e uku aku makou ia oe, i hookahi tausani apana kala, a me ka haneri keu.
6 So Delilah said to Samson, Make clear to me now what is the secret of your great strength, and how you may be put in bands and made feeble.
I aku la o Delila ia Samesona, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e ikaika nui ai, a me ka mea e paa ai oe, i pilikia ai oe.
7 And Samson said to her, If seven new bow-cords which have never been made dry are knotted round me, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.
I mai la o Samesona ia ia, Ina nakinaki mai lakou ia'u i na kaula maka ehiku, i hoomaloo ole ia, alaila, e nawaliwali au, a like auanei me kekahi kanaka.
8 So the chiefs of the Philistines gave her seven new bow-cords which had never been made dry, and she had them tightly knotted round him.
Alaila, lawe mai na'lii o ko Pilisetia ia ia i ehiku kaula maka, i hoomaloo ole ia, a me ia no ia i nakinaki ai ia ia.
9 Now she had men waiting secretly in the inner room; and she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the cords were broken by him as a twist of thread is broken when touched by a flame. So the secret of his strength did not come to light.
E moe malu ana no na kanaka maloko o ia keena me ia. I mai la kela, Maluna on auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Moku ae la ia ia na kaula, e like me ka moku ana o ke kaula oka, i kona wa e honi ai i ke ahi, aole hoi i loaa kahi o kona ikaika.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?
I mai la o Delila ia Samesona, Aia hoi, ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a ua hoopunipuni mai ia'u. Nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e paa ai.
11 And he said to her, If they only put round me new thick cords which have never been used, then I will become feeble and will be like any other man.
I aku la keia ia ia, Ina nakinaki paa loa mai lakou ia'u i na kaula hou, aole i hoohanaia, alaila e nawaliwali au, a e like auanei me kekahi kanaka.
12 So Delilah took new thick cords, knotting them tightly round him, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And men were waiting secretly in the inner room. And the cords were broken off his arms like threads.
Kii ae la o Delila i na kaula hou, a nakinaki iho la ia ia me ia, i ae la, Maluna ou auanei o ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. E moe malu ana no na kanaka maloko o ia keena. Moku ae la ia ia na kaula, mai kona lima aku, me he lopi la.
13 Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.
I mai o Delila ia Samesona, Ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a hiki mai i keia manawa, a ua hoopunipuni ia'u. E hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e paa ai. I aku la keia ia ia, Ina e ulana pu oe i na will ehiku o ko'u poo, me ka lole.
14 So while he was sleeping she got the seven twists of his hair worked into her cloth and fixed with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. Then awaking from his sleep, he got up quickly, pulling up cloth and machine together.
Alaila, makia iho la ia i ke kui, i ae la, Maluna ou auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Ala ae la ia mai kona hiamoe ana, a hele aku la me ke kui o ka mea nana i ulana, a me ka lole pu.
15 And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.
I mai la oia ia ia, Pehea la oe e olelo ai, Ua aloha au ia oe? Aole hoi kou naau me au. Ekolu ou hoowahawaha ana mai ia'u, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u i kahi o kou ikaika nui.
16 So day after day she gave him no peace, for ever questioning him till his soul was troubled to death.
I kona koi ana ia ia i na la a pau, i kana olelo ana, a hookaumaha loa ia ia, a pilikia kona manao, aneane make;
17 And opening all his heart to her, he said to her, My head has never been touched by a blade, for I have been separate to God from the day of my birth: if my hair is cut off, then my strength will go from me and I will become feeble, and will be like any other man.
Alaila, hai aku la oia ia ia i kona naau a pau, i aku la ia ia, Aole i kau mai ka pahikahi maluna o ko'u poo; no ka mea, ua laa au i ke Akua, mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine. Ina e kahiia au, alaila, lilo aku hoi ko'u ikaika mai o'u aku nei, a nawaliwali auanei au e like me kekahi kanaka.
18 And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.
A ike iho la o Delila, ua hai mai kela ia ia i kona naau a pau, alaila kii aku la ia, a hoakoakoa mai la i na'lii o ko Pilisetia, i ae la, E pii hou mai oukou, no ka mea, ua hai mai oia ia'u i kona naau a pau. Alaila, pii ae la na'lii o ko Pilisetia io na la, a lawe ae la i ke kala, ma ko lakou lima.
19 And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.
Hoomoe iho la oia ia ia ma kona uha; a hea aku la i ke kanaka a haawi ia ia e kahi i na wili ehiku o kona poo a hemo; a hoomaka ia i ka hoopilikia ana ia ia, a lilo aku la kona ikaika, mai ona aku la.
20 Then she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And awaking from his sleep, he said, I will go out as at other times, shaking myself free. But he was not conscious that the Lord had gone from him.
I mai la ia, Maluna ou auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Ala ae la ia, mai kona hiamoe ana, i mai la, E hele au iwaho e like me na wa mamua, e hooluliluli. Aole ia i ike, ua haalele o Iehova ia ia.
21 So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house.
Hoopaa iho la ko Pilisetia ia ia, poalo aku la i kona mau maka, a lawe ae la ia ia i Gaza, a hoopaa iho la ia ia i na kupee keleawe; a wili ae la ia iloko o ka halepaahao.
22 But the growth of his hair was starting again after it had been cut off.
Hoomaka iho la ka lauoho o kona poo i ka ulu hou, e like me ia i ka wa i kahiia'i.
23 And the chiefs of the Philistines came together to make a great offering to Dagon their god, and to be glad; for they said, Our god has given into our hands Samson our hater.
Alaila hoakoakoa mai la na'lii o ko Pilisetia e kaumaha aku i mohai nui no Dagona, ko lakou akua, a e olioli; no ka mea, olelo mai la lakou, Ua haawi mai ko kakou akua ia Samesona o ko kakou enemi, iloko o ko kakou lima.
24 And when the people saw him, they gave praise to their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands the one who was fighting against us, who made our country waste, and who put great numbers of us to death.
A ike aku la na kanaka ia ia, hoomana aku la lakou i ko lakou akua; no ka mea, olelo mai la lakou, Ua haawi mai ko kakou akua iloko o ko kakou lima, i ko kakou enemi, i ka mea i anai ai i ko kakou aina, a luku nui mai ia kakou.
25 Now when their hearts were full of joy, they said, Send for Samson to make sport for us. And they sent for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them; and they put him between the pillars.
A i ka wa lealea ai ko lakou naau, i ae la lakou, E kii aku ia Samesona, i hula mai ia no kakou. Kii aku la lakou ia Samesona ma ka halepaahao, a hula mai la ia imua o lakou. A hooku iho la lakou ia ia iwaena o na kia.
26 And Samson said to the boy who took him by the hand, Let me put my hand on the pillars supporting the house, so that I may put my back against them.
I ae la o Samesona i ke keiki e paa ana i kona lima, E hoomaha mai oe ia'u i hana aku au i na kia e paa ai ka hale, i hilinai hoi au ma ia mau mea.
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.
Ua piha ka hale i na kanaka, a me na wahine. Malaila no na'lii a pau o ko Pilisetia. Ekolu tausani kanaka a me na wahine maluna o ka hale i nana mai i ko Samesona hula ana.
28 And Samson, crying out to the Lord, said, O Lord God, do have me now in mind, and do make me strong only this once, O God, so that I may take one last payment from the Philistines for my two eyes.
Hea aku la o Samesona ia Iehova, i aku la, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, e hoomanao mai oe ia'u; ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hooikaika mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua e, i keia manawa hookahi no, i uku koke ia mai au e ko Pilisetia, no ko'u mau maka elua.
29 Then Samson put his arms round the two middle pillars supporting the house, putting his weight on them, on one with his right hand and on the other with his left.
Lalau iho la o Samesona ma na kia waenakonu elua, a oia hoi na mea e paa ai ka hale. Hilinai iho la oia ma ia mau mea, o ka lima akau ma kekahi, a o ka lima hema ma kekahi.
30 And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.
I iho la o Samesona, E make pu au me ko Pilisetia. Kulou iho la me ka ikaika nui, a hina iho la ka hale maluna o na'lii, a maluna o na kanaka a pau maloko. Ua nui ka poe make, ana i luku ai i kona make ana, he hapa ka poe ana i luku ai i kona wa i ola'i.
31 Then his brothers and his father's people came down and took him up and put his body to rest in the earth between Zorah and Eshtaol in the resting-place of Manoah his father. And he had been judge of Israel for twenty years.
Iho aku la kona poe hoahanau, a me ko ka hale o kona makuakane, lalau iho la ia ia, a lawe ae la, a kanu iho la mawaena o Zora, a me Esetaola, ma ka ilina o Manoa, o kona makuakane. He iwakalua makahiki ana i hooponopono ai i ka Iseraela.
