< Judges 16 >

1 He also went into Gaza. And there he saw a harlot woman, and he entered to her.
Napan ni Samson idiay Gaza ket nakakita isuna sadiay iti maysa a balangkantis, ket nakikaidda isuna kenkuana.
2 And when the Philistines had heard of this, and it had become well known among them, that Samson had entered the city, they surrounded him, placing guards at the gate of the city. And there they were keeping watch all night in silence, so that, in the morning, they might kill him as he was going out.
Naibaga kadagiti Gazita, “Immay ditoy ni Samson.” Linakub dagiti taga- Gaza ti lugar, ken nagpatpatnag nga inurayda isuna a nalimed iti ayan ti ruangan ti siudad. Naulimekda bayat iti nagpatnag. Ket kinunkunada, “Aguraytayo agingga iti aglawag, ket papatayentayo isuna.”
3 But Samson slept until the middle of the night, and rising up from there, he took both doors from the gate, with their posts and bars. And laying them upon his shoulders, he carried them to the top of the hill that looks toward Hebron.
Nagidda ni Samson agingga iti tengnga ti rabii. Bimmangon isuna iti tengnga ti rabii ket iniggamanna ti ruangan ti siudad ken dagiti dua a postena daytoy. Pinarutna dagitoy, ti balunet ken dagiti amin, binaklayna dagitoy nga impan iti tapaw ti turod, iti sango ti Hebron.
4 After these things, he loved a woman who was living in the valley of Sorek. And she was called Delilah.
Kalpasan daytoy ket nagayat ni Samson iti maysa a babai nga agnanaed idiay tanap ti Sorek. Ti naganna ket Delila.
5 And the leaders of the Philistines went to her, and they said: “Deceive him, and learn from him wherein lies his great strength, and how we may be able to overcome him and to impose restraints on him. And if you will do this, each one of us will give you one thousand one hundred silver coins.”
Immay kenkuana dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo ket kinunada kenkuana, “Allilawem ni Samson tapno kitaem no sadino ti paggapgapuan iti pigsana, ket no ania a wagas a maabakmi isuna, tapno mareppettayo isuna tapno ibabaintayo isuna. Aramidem daytoy, ket tunggal maysa kadakami ket mangted kenka iti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak.”
6 Therefore, Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me, I beg you, wherein lies your very great strength, and with what might you be bound, so that you could not break free?”
Ket kinuna ngarud ni Delila kenni Samson, “Pangaasim, ibagam kaniak no apay a napigsaka unay, ken no kasano a mareppetnaka ti maysa a tao tapno matengngelka?”
7 And Samson answered her, “If I will be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still damp, I will be weak like other men.”
Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “No reppetendak babaen iti pito a sadiwa a lapnit ti bai ti pana a saan pay a nagango ket agkapsutakto ken agbalinak a kasla iti sabali a tao.”
8 And the princes of the Philistines brought to her seven cords, such as he had described. And she bound him with these.
Ket nangiyeg dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo kenni Delila iti pito a sadiwa a lapnit ti bai ti pana a saan pay nagango, ket rineppetna ni Samson babaen kadagitoy.
9 And so, those hiding in ambush with her, in the bedroom, were expecting the end of the matter. And she cried out to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he broke the cords, as one would break a thread of flax, twisted for cutting and singed by fire. And so it was not known wherein lay his strength.
Ita, addaan isuna kadagiti lallaki nga aglemlemmeng a nalimed iti makin-uneg a siledna. Kinuna kenkuana, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo!” Ngem pinugsatna dagiti lapnit ti bai iti pana a kasla maysa a sinulid no naidekket daytoy iti apoy. Ket saanda a naammoan ti palimed ti pigsana.
10 And Delilah said to him: “Behold, you have mocked me, and you have spoken a falsehood. But at least now, tell me with what you may be bound.”
Ket kinuna ni Delila kenni Samson, “Kastoy iti panangallilawmo ken panangulbodmo kaniak. Pangaasim ta ibagam kaniak no kasanodaka a maparmek.”
11 And he answered her, “If I will be bound with new cords, which have never been used, I will be weak and like other men.”
Kinuna kenkuana, “No reppetendak babaen kadagiti barbaro a tali a saan pay a nausar ket agbalinakto a nakapsut ken kasla iti sabali a tao.”
12 Again, Delilah tied him with these, and she cried out, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For an ambush had been prepared in the bedroom. But he broke the bindings like the filaments of a web.
Nangala ngarud ni Delila kadagiti barbaro a tali ket inreppetna dagitoy kenkuana, ket kunana kenkuana, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo.” Dagiti lallaki nga agur-uray ket adda iti makin-uneg a siled. Ngem pinugsat ni Samson dagiti tali manipud kadagiti imana a kasla maysa dagitoy a sinulid.
13 And Delilah spoke to him again: “How long will you deceive me and tell me falsehoods? Reveal with what you ought to be bound.” And Samson responded to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with a loom, and if you tie these around a spike and fix it to the ground, I will be weak.”
Kinuna ni Delila kenni Samson, “Agingga ita ket al-allilawennak ken ul-ulbodannak. Ibagam kaniak no kasanodaka a maparmek.” Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “No mangabelka iti pito a linabag iti buokko iti tela, ket ilansam dagitoy iti pagabelan, agbalinakto a kasla iti sabali a tao.”
14 And when Delilah had done this, she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson.” And arising from sleep, he withdrew the spike with the hairs and the weaving.
Kabayatan a nakaturog isuna, nangabel ni Delila kadagiti pito a linabag iti buokna iti tela ket inlansana iti pagabelan, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Samson! Umay dagiti Filisteo kenka.” Nagriing isuna ket pinarutna ti tela ken ti lansa manipud iti pagabelan.
15 And Delilah said to him: “How can you say that you love me, when your soul is not with me? You have lied to me on three occasions, and you are not willing to reveal wherein lies your very great strength.”
Kinunana kenkuana, “Kasano a kunam nga, 'Ay-ayatenka,' no saanmo met nga ibingay kaniak ti palimedmo? Rinabrabaknak iti mamintallo a daras ket saanmo nga imbagbaga no kasanoka a naaddaan iti kasta a pigsa.”
16 And when she had been very troublesome to him, and over many days had continually stayed nearby, giving him no time to rest, his soul was faint, and he was weary, even unto death.
Inaldaw a rengrengenna ni Samson babaen iti saona, ken pilpilitenna iti kasta unay nga urayla tarigagayan ni Samson ti matay.
17 Then disclosing the truth of the matter, he said to her: “Iron has never been drawn across my head, for I am a Nazirite, that is, I have been consecrated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head will be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I will be faint and will be like other men.”
Imbaga ngarud ni Samson kenkuana amin ket kinuna kenkuana, “Saanko pay a pulos a pinapukisan ti buok iti ulok, gapu ta maysaak a Nazireo a maipaay iti Apo manipud iti aanakan ti inak. No mapukisan ti ulok, ket panawannak ti pigsak, ket agbalinak a nakapsut ken kas iti sabali a tao.”
18 Then, seeing that he had confessed to her his whole soul, she sent to the leaders of the Philistines and ordered: “Come up just once more. For now he has opened his heart to me.” And they went up, taking with them the money that they had promised.
Idi nakita ni Delila nga imbagana kenkuana ti kinapudno maipapan iti amin a banag, nangibaon ken pinaayabanna dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo, kunana, “Umaykayo manen gapu ta imbaganan kaniak ti amin a banag.” Ket immay kenkuana dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo ket tugotda dagiti pirak kadagiti imada.
19 But she made him sleep upon her knees, and recline his head upon her bosom. And she called a barber, and he shaved his seven locks of hair. And she began to push him away, and to repel him from herself. For immediately his strength departed from him.
Pinaturogna ni Samson iti saklotna. Nangayab isuna iti maysa a tao a mangpukis kadagiti pito a linabag iti buokna, ket rinugianna a parukmaen isuna gapu ta nagpukawen ti pigsana.
20 And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind, “I will break away and shake myself free, just as I did before.” For he did not know that the Lord had withdrawn from him.
Kinuna ni Delila, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo.” Nakariing isuna ket kinunana, “Makaruk-atakto a kasla iti dadduma a tiempo ket iwagsakkonto ti bagik.” Ngem saanna nga ammo a pinanawanen ni Yahweh isuna.
21 And when the Philistines had seized him, they immediately plucked out his eyes. And they led him, bound in chains, to Gaza. And enclosing him in a prison, they made him work a millstone.
Tiniliw isuna dagiti Filisteo ket kinautda dagiti matana. Insalogda isuna idiay Gaza ket ginalutanda isuna babaen iti kawar a bronse. Pinatayyekna ti paggilingan a bato idiay pagbaludan.
22 And now his hair began to grow back.
Ngem nangrugi manen nga umatiddog ti buokna kalpasan ti pannakapukisna.
23 And the leaders of the Philistines convened as one, so that they might offer great sacrifices to Dagon, their god. And they feasted, saying, “Our god has delivered our enemy, Samson, into our hands.”
Naguummong dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo tapno mangidatonda iti dakkel a sakrifisio kenni Dagon a diosda, ken tapno agrag-oda. Gapu ta kinunada, “Pinarmek ti diostayo ni Samson, ti kabusortayo ket intedna iti imatayo.”
24 Then, too, the people, seeing this, praised their god, and they said the same, “Our god has delivered our adversary into our hands: the one who destroyed our land and who killed very many.”
Idi makita isuna dagiti tattao, dinaydayawda ti diosda, ta kinunada, “Pinarmek ti diostayo ti kabusortayo ken intedna isuna kadatayo—ti manangdadael iti pagiliantayo, a nangpatay iti adu kadatayo.”
25 And rejoicing in their celebration, having now taken food, they instructed that Samson be called, and that he be mocked before them. And having been brought from prison, he was mocked before them. And they caused him to stand between two pillars.
Idi agramrambakda, kinunada, “Ayabanyo ni Samson, tapno pagkakatawaennatayo.” Pinaruarda ni Samson iti pagbaludan, ket pinagkatkatawana ida. Pinagtakderda isuna iti nagbaetan dagiti adigi.
26 And he said to the boy who was guiding his steps, “Permit me to touch the pillars, which support the entire house, and to lean against them, so that I may rest a little.”
Kinuna ni Samson iti ubing a lalaki a nangkibin kenkuana, “Ipalubosmo a maarikapko dagiti adigi a nagsaadan ti pasdek tapno makasanggirak kadagitoy.”
27 Now the house was full of men and women. And all the leaders of the Philistines were there, as well as about three thousand persons, of both sexes, on the roof and in the upper level of the house, who were watching Samson being mocked.
Ita, napno ti balay kadagiti babbai ken lallaki. Adda idiay dagiti amin a mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo. Adda iti ngato ti balay iti agarup tallo ribu a lallaki ken babbai, nga agbuybuya bayat a parparagsaken ida ni Samson.
28 Then, calling upon the Lord, he said, “O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, so that I may avenge myself against my enemies, and so that I may receive one vengeance for the deprivation of my two eyes.”
Immawag ni Samson kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Apo Yahweh, lagipennak! Pangaasim ta papigsaennak iti maminsan laeng iti daytoy a kanito, O Dios, tapno makaibalesak a maminpinsan kadagiti Filisteo iti panangkautda kadagiti matak.”
29 And taking hold of both the pillars, on which the house rested, and holding one with his right hand and the other with his left,
Tiniritir ni Samson dagiti dua nga akin-tengnga nga adigi a nagsaadan ti pasdek, ken nagsanggir isuna kadagitoy, maysa nga adigi iti makannawan nga imana ken ti maysa pay iti kannigidna.
30 he said, “May my life die with the Philistines.” And when he had shaken the pillars strongly, the house fell upon all the leaders, and the rest of the multitude who were there. And he killed many more in his death than he had killed before in his life.
Kinuna ni Samson, “Bay-annak a matay a kadduak dagiti Filisteo!” Induronna iti amin a pigsana, ket narba ti pasdek ken naigabor daytoy kadagiti mangiturturay ken iti amin a tattao nga adda idiay. Isu a dagiti natay a napatayna idi matay isuna ket ad-adu ngem iti pinapatayna bayat iti panagbiagna.
31 Then his brothers and all his relatives, going down, took his body, and they buried it between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying place of his father, Manoah. And he judged Israel for twenty years.
Ket simmalog dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki ken amin nga adda iti balay ni amana, ket innalada isuna, ken insublida ket intanemda isuna iti nagbaetan ti Zora ken Estaol, iti lugar a nakaitaneman ni Manoa, nga amana. Nagbalin ni Samson nga ukom iti Israel bayat ti duapulo a tawen.
