Judges 16
1 Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.
At naparoon si Samson sa Gaza, at nakakita roon ng isang patutot at sinipingan.
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.
At ibinalita sa mga taga Gaza na sinasabi, Si Samson ay naparito. At kanilang kinulong siya, at binakayan siya buong gabi sa pintuang-bayan, at tahimik buong gabi, na sinasabi, Maghintay tayo hanggang magbukang liwayway, saka natin patayin siya.
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.
At si Samson ay humiga hanggang hating gabi, at bumangon sa hating gabi at humawak sa mga pinto ng pintuang-bayan, at sa dalawang haligi, at kapuwa binunot, pati ng sikang, at pinasan sa kaniyang mga balikat, at isinampa sa taluktok ng bundok na nasa tapat ng Hebron.
4 Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.
At nangyari pagkatapos, na siya'y suminta sa isang babae sa libis ng Sorec, na ang pangala'y Dalila.
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.
At inahon ng mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo ang babae, at sinabi sa kaniya: Dayain mo siya, at tingnan mo kung saan naroon ang kaniyang dakilang kalakasan, at sa anong paraan mananaig kami laban sa kaniya upang aming matalian at mapighati siya: at bibigyan ka ng bawa't isa sa amin ng isang libo't isang daang putol na pilak.
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.
At sinabi ni Dalila kay Samson, Saysayin mo sa akin, isinasamo ko sa iyo, kung saan naroon ang iyong dakilang kalakasan, at kung paanong matatalian ka upang pighatiin ka.
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.
At sinabi ni Samson sa kaniya, Kung tatalian nila ako ng pitong sariwang yantok na kailan man ay hindi natuyo, ay hihina ako, at ako'y magiging gaya ng alinmang tao.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagdala ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo sa kaniya ng pitong sariwang yantok na hindi pa natutuyo, at ipinagtali niya sa kaniya.
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.
Ngayo'y may mga bakay na sa silid sa loob. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At kaniyang pinatid ang mga yantok, na tulad sa taling estopa pagka nadidikitan ng apoy. Sa gayo'y hindi naalaman ang kaniyang lakas.
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?
At sinabi ni Dalila kay Samson, Narito, pinaglaruan mo ako, at pinagbulaanan mo ako: isinasamo ko ngayon sa iyo na saysayin mo sa akin kung paano matatalian ka.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Kung tatalian lamang nila ako ng mga bagong lubid na hindi pa nagagamit, ay hihina nga ako at magiging gaya ng alinmang tao.
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.
Sa gayo'y kumuha si Dalila ng mga bagong lubid, at itinali sa kaniya, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At ang mga bakay ay nangasa silid sa loob. At pawang pinatid niya sa kaniyang mga bisig na parang sinulid.
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.
At sinabi ni Dalila kay Samson, Hanggang dito'y pinaglaruan mo ako, at pinagbulaanan mo ako: saysayin mo sa akin kung paanong matatalian ka. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Kung iyong hahabihin ang pitong tirintas sa aking ulo ng hinabing kayo.
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.
At kaniyang pinagtibay ng tulos, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At siya'y gumising sa kaniyang pagkakatulog, at binunot ang tulos ng panghabi, at ang hinabi.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bakit nasasabi mo, na iniibig kita, sa bagay ang iyong puso ay hindi sumasaakin? pinaglaruan mo akong makaitlo, at hindi mo isinaysay sa akin kung saan nagpapahinga ang iyong dakilang kalakasan.
16 So day after day she gave him no peace, for ever questioning him till his soul was troubled to death.
At nangyari, nang kaniyang igiit araw araw, at kaniyang ipilit sa kaniya, na ang kaniyang loob ay naligalig sa ikamamatay.
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.
At isinaysay niya sa kaniya ang kaniyang buong taglayin sa kaniyang puso, at sinabi sa kaniya, Walang pangahit na nagdaan sa aking ulo; sapagka't ako'y naging Nazareo sa Dios mula sa tiyan ng aking ina: kung ako'y ahitan, hihiwalay nga sa akin ang aking lakas, at ako'y hihina, at magiging gaya ng alinmang tao.
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.
At nang makita ni Dalila na sinaysay sa kaniya, ang buong taglayin niya sa kaniyang puso, ay nagsugo siya at tinawag ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo, na sinasabi, Ahunin pa ninyong minsan, sapagka't sinaysay niya sa akin ang buong taglayin niya sa kaniyang puso. Nang magkagayo'y inahon siya ng mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo, at nagdala ng salapi sa kanilang kamay.
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.
At pinatulog niya siya sa kaniyang mga tuhod; at nagpatawag siya ng isang lalake, at inahit ang pitong tirintas sa kaniyang ulo; at pinasimulan niyang pighatiin siya, at ang kaniyang lakas ay nawala.
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.
At sinabi niya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At siya'y gumising sa kaniyang pagkakatulog, at sinabi, Ako'y lalabas na gaya ng dati, at ako'y magpupumiglas. Nguni't hindi niya talos na ang Panginoo'y humiwalay sa kaniya.
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.
At hinuli ng mga Filisteo, at dinukit ang kaniyang mga mata; at inilusong nila sa Gaza, at tinalian siya ng mga pangaw na tanso; at siya'y gumiling sa bilangguan.
22 But the growth of his hair was starting again after it had been cut off.
Gayon ma'y nagpasimulang tumubo uli ang buhok ng kaniyang ulo, pagkatapos na siya'y maahitan.
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.
At nagpipisan ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo upang maghandog ng isang dakilang hain kay Dagon na kanilang dios, at mangagalak: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ibinigay ng ating dios si Samson na ating kaaway sa ating kamay.
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.
At nang makita siya ng bayan, ay kanilang pinuri ang kanilang dios: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ibinigay ng ating dios sa ating kamay ang ating kaaway, at ang mangwawasak sa ating lupain, na pumatay sa marami sa atin.
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.
At nangyari, nang masayahan ang kanilang puso, na kanilang sinabi, Tawagin si Samson, upang siya'y ating mapaglaruan. At tinawag nga si Samson mula sa bilangguan; at siya'y pinaglaruan nila. At kanilang inilagay sa pagitan ng mga haligi:
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.
At sinabi ni Samson sa bata na umaakay sa kaniya sa kamay, Ipahipo mo sa akin ang mga haliging pumipigil ng bahay, upang aking mangahiligan.
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.
Ang bahay nga ay puno ng mga lalake at babae, at ang lahat ng mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo ay nandoon; at sa bubungan ay may tatlong libong lalake at babae, na nanonood samantalang pinaglalaruan si Samson.
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.
At tumawag si Samson sa Panginoon, at sinabi, Oh Panginoong Dios, idinadalangin ko sa iyo na alalahanin mo ako, at idinadalangin ko sa iyong palakasin mo ako, na minsan na lamang, Oh Dios, upang maiganti kong paminsan sa mga Filisteo ang aking dalawang mata.
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.
At si Samson ay pumigil sa dalawang gitnang haligi na pumipigil ng bahay, at isinuhay sa mga yaon, ang isa sa kaniyang kanang kamay, at ang isa'y sa kaniyang kaliwa.
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.
At sinabi ni Samson, Mamatay nawa akong kasama ng mga Filisteo, At iniubos niya ang kaniyang buong lakas; at ang bahay ay bumagsak sa mga pangulo, at sa buong bayan na nandoon sa loob. Sa gayo'y ang nangamatay na kaniyang pinatay sa kaniyang kamatayan ay higit kay sa pinatay niya sa kaniyang kabuhayan.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y lumusong ang kaniyang mga kapatid at ang buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama, at kinuha siya, at iniahon siya, at inilibing siya sa pagitan ng Sora at Esthaol sa libingan ni Manoa na kaniyang ama. At siya'y naghukom sa Israel na dalawang pung taon.
