Judges 16
1 And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
Alò, Samson te desann Gaza, e li te wè yon pwostitiye. Li te antre nan li.
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.
Lè sa li te pale pami moun Gaza yo: “Samson vin isit la!” Yo te antoure kote a e yo te kache tann li tout lannwit vè pòtay lavil la. Yo te rete an silans tout nwit lan e yo te di: “Annou tann jis li fè klè maten e nou va touye li.”
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.
Alò, Samson te kouche jis minwi e a minwi, li te leve pran pòtay lavil yo avèk de poto yo. Li te rale fè yo monte, ansanm avèk ba travès pa yo. Epi li te mete yo sou zepòl li, e li te pote yo monte pou rive anwo tèt mòn ki anfas Hébron an.
4 And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Apre sa, li te vin rive ke li te renmen yon fanm nan vale Sorek la, ke yo te rele Delila.
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.
Prens Filisten yo te ale kote li e te di fanm nan: “Mennen li ak dousè e twouve kote gran fòs li a sòti, e kijan nou kapab vin genyen l pou nou kapab mare li pou aflije li. Epi nou chak va ba ou onz-san pyès ajan.”
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.
Konsa, Delila te di a Samson: “Souple, pale m kote gran fòs ou a ye ak kijan ou kapab vin mare pou ou ta aflije.”
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 te di li: “Si yo mare m avèk sèt kòd nèf ki poko sèch; alò, mwen va devni fèb e mwen va vin tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Epi prens Filisten yo te mennen ba li sèt kòd nèf ki potko sèch e li te mare li avèk yo.
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.
Alò, te gen moun ki te kache ap tann nan chanm anndan an. Epi li te di li: “Men Filisten yo rive sou ou, Samson!” Konsa li te pete kòd yo tankou fisèl pit chire lè l touche dife. Konsa, fòs li a pa t revele.
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.
Epi Delila te di a Samson: “Gade byen, se twonpe ou twonpe m, ou ban m yon bann manti; alò, koulye a, souple, di m kijan ou kab mare.”
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.
Li te di li: “Si yo mare m byen di ak kòd nèf ki pa t janm sèvi; alò, mwen va devni fèb tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Konsa, Delila te pran kòd nèf e li te mare li avèk yo e te di li: “Men Filisten yo sou ou, Samson!” Paske gason yo t ap tann nan chanm anndan an. Men li te pete kòd yo nan bra li tankou fisèl pou koud.
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.
Epi Delila te di a Samson: “Jis koulye a, ou te twonpe m e ban m bann manti; di mwen kijan ou kapab mare.” Epi li te di li: “Si ou trese sèt très cheve m nan ansanm très la, epi tache l avèk gwo epeng tout très la, m ap vin fèb tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Konsa, pandan li t ap dòmi, Delila te pran sèt très a cheve li yo, li te trese yo nan ansanm très la. Li te tache li avèk epeng lan, e li te di li: “Men Filisten yo sou ou, Samson!” Men li te leve nan dòmi li, li te rale fè epeng lan sòti nan ansanm très la e li te rale cheve l nan griyaj très la.
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.
Alò li te di li: “Kijan ou kapab di, ‘Mwen renmen ou,’ lè kè ou pa avè m? Ou te twonpe m twa fwa sila yo e pa t di mwen kote gran fòs ou a ye.”
16 And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
Li te vin rive ke lè li te toumante li chak jou avèk pawòl li yo e te bourade li, ke nanm li te vin twouble jiska lanmò.
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.
Konsa, li te fè l konnen tout sa ki te nan kè li e li te di li: “Yon razwa pa t janm vini nan tèt mwen; paske mwen se te yon Nazareyen a Bondye soti nan vant manman m. Si cheve m vin taye; alò, fòs mwen an va kite mwen e mwen va devni tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Lè Delila te wè ke li te di li tout sa ki te nan kè li, li te rele prens a Filisten yo e li te di yo: “Vini yon fwa ankò; paske li fin di mwen tout sa ki te nan kè li.” Epi prens a Filisten yo te vin kote li, e yo te pote lajan pou li a nan men yo.
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.
Li te fè li dòmi sou jenou li, li te rele yon mesye pou te fè l pase razwa retire tout sèt très cheve li yo. Alò, li te kòmanse aflije li e fòs li a te vin kite l.
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.
Li te di: “Men Filisten yo sou ou, Samson!” Li te leve soti nan dòmi li, e te di: “Mwen va sòti tankou lòt fwa yo e souke kò m pou m vin lib.” Men li pa t konnen ke SENYÈ a te gen tan kite li.
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.
Alò, Filisten yo te sezi li. Yo te kreve rete zye li, epi yo te mennen li Gaza. Yo te mare l avèk chenn fèt an bwonz ki te konn vire moulen nan prizon an.
22 But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
Men cheve tèt li t ap grandi ankò lè l te fin koupe yo.
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.
Alò, prens Filisten yo te rasanble pou ofri yon gran sakrifis a Dagon, dye pa yo a e pou rejwi yo, paske yo te di: “Se dye pa nou an ki livre Samson, lènmi nou an, nan men nou.”
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.
Lè pèp la te wè li, yo te fè lwanj a dye pa yo a, paske yo te di: “Se dye pa nou an ki te livre lènmi nou an, nan men nou, menm destriktè a peyi nou an, ki te touye anpil nan nou.”
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.
Li te vin rive ke pandan yo te ranpli avèk kè kontan, ke yo te di: “Rele Samson pou l kapab amize nou.” Konsa, yo te rele Samson soti nan prizon an pou li te amize yo. Epi yo te fè l kanpe antre pilye yo.
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.
Alò, Samson te di a gason ki te kenbe men l lan: “Kite mwen manyen pilye kote kay la kanpe yo pou m kab apiye sou yo.”
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.
Alò, kay la te ranpli avèk gason ni fanm e tout prens a Filisten yo te la. Epi anviwon twa-mil gason avèk fanm te anba twati a e yo t ap gade Samson pandan li t ap amize yo.
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.
Konsa, Samson te rele SENYÈ a e te di: “O Senyè BONDYE, souple, sonje mwen, e souple, ranpli fòs mwen pou sèl fwa sa a, O Bondye pou m kapab jwenn vanjans sou Filisten yo pou de zye mwen yo.”
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.
Samson te kenbe byen di de pilye mitan yo sou sila kay la te poze yo, li te ranfòse li sou yo, youn avèk men dwat li e youn avèk men goch li.
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.
Epi Samson te di: “Kite mwen mouri avèk Filisten yo!” Epi li te koube avèk tout fòs li jiskaske kay la te vin tonbe sou tout prens yo ak tout moun ki te ladann yo. Konsa, kantite moun ke li te touye lè l te mouri an te plis ke sila ke li te touye pandan tout vi li yo.
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.
Alò, frè li yo avèk tout lakay papa li te desann pran li, mennen li monte e te antere li antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol nan tonm Manoach la, papa li. Konsa, li te jije Israël pandan ventan.
