Judges 16
1 And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
Nito naah Samson loe Gaza ah caeh; to ahmuen ah tangyat zaw kami maeto a hnuk; to nongpata khaeah a caeh moe, anih to iih haih.
2 [And it was told] the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they surrounded [him], and laid wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning light we will kill him.
Gaza vangpui ih kaminawk mah, Samson to ah oh, tiah panoek o naah, a ohhaih ahmuen to takui o moe, vangpui khongkha ah aqum puek anih to angang o; aqum ah loe oh o taak duem, khawnbang khodai ah anih to hum si, tiah a thuih o.
3 And Samson lay till midnight; and he arose at midnight, and seized the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and tore them up with the bar, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
Toe Samson loe qum taning khoek to khue ni to ah iih, anih loe qum taning ah angthawk moe, vangpui khongkha thokkung ih tung hnetto, takraenghaih hmuennawk boih palaeng ah aput moe, Hebron vangpui hmaa ah kaom mae nuiah a suek pae ving.
4 And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
To tiah oh pacoengah, Sorek azawn ah kaom Delilah, tiah ahmin kaom nongpata maeto hoiah ang koeh hoi.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces.
Philistin ukkunnawk loe nongpata khaeah caeh o moe, anih khaeah, Anih to ka pazawk o thaih moe, taoeng pacoengah, ka pacaekthlaek o hanah, a thacakhaih naah maw oh, tiah panoek thai hanah, anih to zoek ah; to tiah na sak thaih nahaeloe, kami boih mah phoisa shekel sang hatlaito kang paek o han, tiah a naa o.
6 Then Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what is thy great strength, and with what thou mightest be bound to overpower thee.
To pongah Delilah mah Samson khaeah, Na thacakhaih loe naah maw oh, nang hae kawbangmaw kang taoeng moe, kang pazawk thaih han, tiah na thui ah, tiah a naa.
7 And Samson said to her, If they should bind me with seven fresh cords which have not been dried, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
Samson mah anih khaeah, Karoem ai qui kangtha sarihto hoiah nang komh o nahaeloe, ka tha zok ueloe, minawk kalah baktiah ka om tih, tiah a naa.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Philistin ukkungnawk mah nongpata hanah karoem ai qui kangtha sarihto sin pae o, nongpata mah Samson to qui sarihto hoiah a komh.
9 Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known.
Thoemto nongpanawk loe nongpata ih imkhaan thung hoiah zing o; Samson, Philistinnawk mah ang hmang o boeh, tiah a naa. To naah anih mah qui to hmai mah kangh ih tlangqui baktiah taprawt pae pet. To pongah a thacakhaih to panoek thai ai.
10 And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mightest be bound.
To naah Delilah mah Samson khaeah, Khenah, kai hae tiah doeh nang sah ai moe, amsawnlok nang thuih; angzoh loe, kawbangmaw kang taoengh thai han na thui ah, tiah a naa.
11 And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes, with which no work has been done, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
Anih mah Delilah khaeah, Mi mah doeh patoh vai ai ih qui kangtha hoiah nang taoengh nahaeloe, tha ka zok ueloe, minawk kalah baktiah ka om tih, tiah a naa.
12 And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
To pongah Delilah mah qui kangtha to lak moe, anih to taoengh; kaminawk loe a imkhaan thungah oh o pongah, anih khaeah, Samson, Philistin kaminawk mah ang hmang o boeh, tiah a naa. To naah a ban ih qui to tlangqui baktiah apet.
13 And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
Delilah mah anih khaeah, Vaihi khoek to nang pahnui thuih moe, amsawnlok nang thuih; kawbangmaw kang taoengh thai han na thui ah, tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ka lu ah sarihto pakhui ih ka sam hae kahni sakhaih tangnaeng hoi nawnto na takaek moe, tapang ah sumdik hoiah na takhing caeng nahaeloe, ka tha zok ueloe, kalah kaminawk baktiah ka om tih, tiah a naa.
14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web.
Delilah mah sarihto pakhui ih sam to lak, kahni sakhaih tangnaeng hoi nawnto takaek moe, sumdik hoiah tapang ah takhing caeng pacoengah, Samson, Philistinnawk mah ang hmang o boeh, tiah a naa let bae. Anih loe iihhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk, kahni sakhaih tangnaeng, sumdik hoi thingnawk boih to a zuh moe, vah pae phaeng.
15 Then she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou mocked me, and hast not told me in what is thy great strength.
To pacoengah nongpata mah anih khaeah, Na poekhaih palungthin nang paek ai ah, kawbangmaw kai khaeah kang palung, tiah na thuih thaih? Amsawnlok vai thumto nang thuih boeh, toe naah maw na thacakhaih to oh, tito nang thui ai, tiah a naa.
16 And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
To tiah nithokkruek anget pae moe, duek han khoek to lok a dueng pae pongah,
17 and he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I am a Nazarite of God from my mother's womb; if I should be shaven, then my strength would go from me, and I should be weak, and be like all mankind.
Samson mah angmah ih palung thungah kaom hmuen to thuih pae boih; Sithaw ih Nazarit kami ah ka oh pongah, kam no ih zok thung hoi tacawt pacoengah, ka lu ih sam hae vaito doeh ka aat ai vop; sam ka aah nahaeloe, tha ka cak mak ai, tha ka zok ueloe, kalah kaminawk baktiah ni ka om tih, tiah a naa.
18 And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
Samson mah palung thungah kaom hmuen to thuih pae boih boeh, tiah Delilah mah panoek naah, Philistin ukkungnawk kawk hanah kami to patoeh; vaito angzo o let raeh; palung thungah kaom hmuennawk boih ang thuih boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah Philistin ukkungnawk mah phoisa to sin o moe, nongpata khaeah caeh o.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him.
Samson to a phaih nuiah iihsak pacoengah, pakhui ih a sam sarihto aah pae hanah kami maeto a kawk, pakhui ih sam sarihto aah pacoengah, Samson loe tha zok boeh, to naah Delilah mah Samson to pacaekthlaek amtong boeh.
20 And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him.
To pacoengah, Samson, Philistin kaminawk angzoh o boeh, tiah a naa. A iihhaih hoiah angthawk, hmaloe ah sak ih baktih toengah, kang thawk moe, ka sawt han vop, tiah a poek; Angraeng mah caehtaak boeh, tiah anih mah panoek ai.
21 And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house.
To naah anih to Philsitin kaminawk mah naeh o moe, a mik hnetto taprok pae o; Gaza ah caeh o haih tathuk; anih to sumkamling sumqui hoiah taoengh o moe, thongim thungah cang kaeh o sak.
22 But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
Toe a aah pae o ih lu sam to tacawt pae let.
23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.
Philistin ukkungnawk loe angmacae sithaw Dagon khaeah kalen parai angbawnhaih to sak o moe, anghoehaih poisak hanah amkhueng o; aicae sithaw mah aicae ih misa Samson hae aicae ban ah paek boeh, tiah a thuih o.
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain.
Kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, angmacae ih sithaw to pakoeh o; aicae prae parokung, paroeai aicae kaminawk humkung, aicae ih misa loe sithaw mah aicae ban ah paek boeh, tiah a thuih o.
25 And it came to pass when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they set him between the pillars.
Nihcae loe anghoe o moe, aicae nawmhaih saksak hanah Samson to kawk oh, tiah hangh o. To pongah Samson to thongim thung hoiah tacawt o haih, nihcae poeknawm hanah Samson mah sak pae; anih to tung hnetto salakah a suek o.
26 And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Let loose of me, and suffer me to feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
Samson mah anih hoikung thendoeng khaeah, Hae tempul ataehhaih tung nuiah kam ha thai hanah, tung to ka ban hoi na suisak ah, tiah a naa.
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.
Tempul loe nongpa nongpata hoi koi o mong; Philistin ukkungnawk boih to ahmuen ah oh o; kami sang thumto kaom nongpa hoi nongpatanawk loe Samson mah sak ih nawmhaih khet hanah imphu ah oh o.
28 And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may take one vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes.
To naah Samson mah Angraeng khaeah, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na pahnet hmah; Aw Sithaw, kamik hnetto taprok Philsitinnawk nuiah vaito lu ka lak thai hanah, vaito khue mah thacakhaih na paek raeh, tiah lawk a thuih.
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood (and he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and the other with his left.
To naah Samson mah tempul ataehhaih aum ih tung hnetto to banqoi ban hoiah maeto, bantang ban hoiah maeto patawnh.
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself with might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.
Samson mah, Philistin kaminawk hoi nawnto na duehsak ah, tiah a naa. Anih mah a thacakhaih boih pathok naah, tempul loe ukkungnawk hoi to ah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah amtim rup. Samson hing nathuem ah hum ih kami pongah, a duek naah hum ih kami to pop kue.
31 And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
To naah angmah ih nawkamyanawk hoi ampa imthung takoh boih anih ih qok lak hanah caeh o tathuk; a qok to aput o moe, Zorah hoi Eshtaol vangpui salakah kaom ampa Manoah aphumhaih tangqom thungah aphum o. Anih mah Israel kaminawk to saning pumphaeto thung uk.
