Judges 16
1 And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
三松往迦薩去，在那裏看見一個妓女，便去走近了她。
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.
有人告訴迦薩人說：「三松到這裏來了。」他們就把他圍住，終夜派人埋伏在城門口，整夜靜悄悄地等待他，說：「等到早晨天亮，我們纔殺他。」
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.
三松睡到半夜，半夜醒來，抓緊城門，連兩個門框帶門閂，一起拔起，放在肩上，背到赫特龍對面的山頂上。三松與德里拉
4 And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
此後，他在芍勒克平原又愛上一個女人，名叫德里拉。
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.
培肋舍特的酋長上到她那裏，對她說：「請你引誘他，看看他這樣大的力量是從那裏來的，我們怎樣能制勝他，將他捆起，而制伏他；我們每人給你一千一百銀子。」
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.
德里拉問三松說：「請你告訴我，你這樣大的力量是從那裏來的﹖人怎樣纔能將你捆起，而制伏你﹖」
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.
三松回答說：「人若用七根未乾的新牛筋繩將我捆起，我就像別人一樣軟弱。」
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.
培肋舍特人的酋長就給她送來七根未乾的新牛筋繩，她便用這些繩子將他捆起。
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.
當時有埋伏的人暗藏在她的內室裏；德里拉向他喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」他就掙斷牛筋繩，如同麻線被火燒斷一樣；於是人們仍不知他力量的所在。
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.
德里拉遂對三松說：「看，你戲弄我，對我說謊。如今請你告訴我，怎樣纔能捆綁你﹖」
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.
他回答她說：「人若用從未用過的新繩將我捆起，我就像別人一樣軟弱。」
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.
德里拉就拿新繩將他捆起，對他喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」當時仍有埋伏的人暗藏在內室裏；但他掙斷手臂上的繩子，好像一根絲線一樣。
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.
德里拉對三松說：「到現在你仍戲弄我，對我說謊；你告訴我，人怎樣纔能捆綁你﹖」他回答她說：「你若把我頭上的七條髮辮與織布的經線編在一起，然後用木橛釘住，我就像別人一樣軟弱。」
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.
德里拉使他睡了，然後把他頭上的七條髮辮與織布的經線編在一起，再用木橛釘住，向他喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」他從夢中醒來，把織布機的木橛連織布的經線都拔了出來。
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.
德里拉就對他說：「你心裏既沒有我，你怎能說：我愛你呢﹖你已三次戲弄我，還沒有告訴我你這樣大的力量是從那裏來的! 」
16 And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
因為她天天用話來逼他，催他，致使他的精神苦惱的要死。
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.
三松遂把心中的一切全透露給她，對她說：「剃刀從未接觸過我的頭，因為我在母胎時就是獻於天主的；人若剃去我的頭髮，我的力量就離開了我，我就像眾人一樣軟弱。」
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.
德里拉一見他把心中的一切全給她透露了，便打發人召培肋舍特的酋長來說：「這一次你們上來罷! 因為他把心中的一切全透露給我。」於是培肋舍特人的酋長手中帶著銀子，來到德里拉那裏。
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.
德里拉使三松睡在自己的膝上，又叫來一個人，剃去他頭上的七條髮辮，他就開始軟弱無力，他的力量全離開了他。
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.
她於是喊說：「三松，培肋舍特人來捉你哩! 」他由夢中醒來，心想：「這一次和前幾次一樣，我一掙扎，必能脫身。」他卻不知道上主已離棄了他。
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.
培肋舍特人便把他捉住，剜去他的眼睛，帶他下到迦薩，用銅鍊鎖了他，叫他在監獄裏推磨。
22 But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
但是他的頭髮在剃了以後，又漸漸長起來。三松殉身復仇
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.
培肋舍特人的酋長聚集起來，為給他們的神達貢舉行祭獻大典，表示慶祝；他們說：「我們的神把我們的仇人三松交在我們手中。」
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.
民眾一見三松，就讚頌他們的神說：「我們的神把破壞過我們的田地，殺害過我們多人的仇人，交在我們的手中了。」
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.
當他們興高采烈的時候，就喊說：「讓三松給我們表演把戲。」他們就從監獄裏叫出三松來，在他們面前耍把戲；以後把他放在兩根柱子中間。
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.
三松對牽他手的僮僕說：「讓我摸摸支殿的柱子，好能靠一靠。」
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.
那時殿內滿了男女，培肋舍特人的酋長也在裏面，在天台上約有三千男女，都在看三松表演把戲。
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.
三松呼求上主說：「吾主上主，求你眷念我! 天主，求你再賜我力量，只要這一次! 以報培肋舍特人剜我雙眼的仇。」
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.
三松就抱住正中支殿的兩根柱子，右手抱一根，左手抱一根；
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.
然後三松說：「讓我的性命和培肋舍特人同歸於盡! 」於是他奮力屈身，大殿隨之倒塌，壓在酋長和裏面所有的民眾身上；這樣他在臨死時所殺死的人，比一生所殺死的人還多。
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.
此後，他的兄弟和父親的全家下來，把他抬上去，葬在祚辣和厄市陶耳之間，他父親瑪諾亞的墳墓裏。他作以色列民長二十年。
