Judges 16
1 Then went Samson to Azzah, and sawe there an harlot, and went in vnto her.
Samson te Gaza la a caeh vaengah pumyoi nu a hmuh hatah a taengla a kun thil.
2 And it was tolde to the Azzahites, Samson is come hither. And they went about, and laied wayte for him all night in the gate of the citie, and were quiet all the nyght, saying, Abide till the morning earely, and we shall kill him.
Azzathi rhoek loh, “Samson he la ha pawk coeng,” a ti uh. Te dongah a vael uh tih khoyin puet khopuei vongka ah rhongngol uh. Khoyin puet te hil a phah uh tih mincang khothaih hlanah ng'ngawn pawn ni,” a ti uh.
3 And Samson slept till midnight, and arose at midnight, and tooke the doores of the gates of the citie, and the two postes and lift them away with the barres, and put them vpon his shoulders, and caried them vp to the top of the mountaine that is before Hebron.
Tedae Samson te khoyin boengli duela yalh tih khoyin boengli ah koep thoo. Te vaengah khopuei vongka kah thohkhaih te rhungsut rhoi neh rhen a tuuk tih thohkalh khaw a phil. Te phoeiah a laengpang ah a tloeng tih Hebron dan kah tlang som la a koh.
4 And after this hee loued a woman by the riuer of Sorek, whose name was Delilah:
Te tlam te a om phoeiah Sorek soklong kah huta pakhat, a ming ah Delilah te a lungnah.
5 Vnto whome came the princes of the Philistims, and said vnto her, Entise him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what meane we may ouercome him, that we may binde him, and punish him, and euery one of vs shall giue thee eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer.
Te vaengah Delilah te Philisti boei rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Anih te hloih lamtah ba nen lae a thadueng a len tih ba nen lae anih n'na eh ti han so laeh. Te vaengah anih phaep ham ka khit uh saeh lamtah nang te kaimih loh tangka thawngkhat yakhat rhip kam pae uh eh,” a ti nah.
6 And Delilah saide to Samson, Tell mee, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest bee bound, to doe thee hurt.
Te dongah Samson te Delilah loh, “Me nen lae na thadueng a len tih nang phaep ham te ba nen lae ng'khih eh tite kai taengah bet han thui lah,” a ti nah.
7 Samson then answered vnto her, If they binde mee with seuen greene cordes, that were neuer dryed, then shall I bee weake, and be as an other man.
Tedae anih te Samson loh, “Kai he kuelrhui aka rhae pawh a thingsup yungrhih nen te ng'khit uh koinih ka kha sut vetih hlang mailai banglam ni ka om eh?,” a ti nah.
8 And the princes of the Philistims brought her seuen greene cordes that were not dry, and she bound him therewith.
Te dongah Delilah ham Philisti boei rhoek te kuelrhui aka rhae pawh yungrhih te a thingsup la a khuen pa uh tih Samson te a khih.
9 (And she had men lying in wayte with her in the chamber) Then she said vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee brake the cordes, as a threede of towe is broken, when it feeleth fire: so his strength was not knowen.
Delilah te imkhui ah a rhongngol doela om tih, “Samson nang pum dongkah Philisti rhoek te,” a ti nah hatah hmai loh a laeh vaengkah hamnak rhui a pat bangla kuelrhui te a bawt. Te dongah a thadueng te ming uh pawh.
10 After Delilah saide vnto Samson, See, thou hast mocked mee and tolde mee lies. I pray thee nowe, tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound.
Tedae Samson te Delilah loh, “Kai taengah na omsaa tih kai taengah laithae na thui he. Tahae ah kai ham han thui laeh, ba nen lae ng'khih eh?,” a ti nah.
11 Then he answered her, If they binde mee with newe ropes that neuer were occupied, then shall I be weake, and be as an other man.
Te dongah, “Kai he bitat a saii nah mueh rhuivaeh a thai neh n'khih la n'khih uh atah ka kha sut vetih hlang mailai banglam ni ka om eh?,” a ti nah.
12 Delilah therefore tooke newe ropes, and bounde him therewith, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson: (and men lay in wayte in the chamber) and hee brake them from his armes, as a threede.
Te dongah Delilah loh rhuivaeh a thai te a loh tih Samson a khih. Te phoeiah, “Samson na pum dongkah Philisti rhoek te,” a ti nah. Te vaengah imkhui ah aka rhongngol thil khaw om coeng dae a ban dongkah te rhuihet bangla but a bawt.
13 Afterward Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast beguiled mee, and tolde me lies: tell me how thou mightest be bounde. And he sayde vnto her, If thou plattedst seuen lockes of mine head with the threedes of the woufe.
Te dongah Samson te Delilah loh, “Tahae duela kai taengah na omsaa tih kai taengah laithae na thui, kai taengah thui laeh, ba nen lae ng'khih eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka lu kah samtum parhih he hnitah dongah na tah atah,” a ti nah.
14 And she fastened it with a pinne, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe, and went away with the pinne of the webbe and the woufe.
Te dongah a sam te ciphuem neh khak a hen pah tih, “Samson na pum dongkah Philisti rhoek te,” a ti nah. Te vaengah a ih kung lamkah haenghang tih ciphuem te tampai neh hnitah neh rhen a dueng.
15 Againe shee sayde vnto him, Howe canst thou say, I loue thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked mee these three times, and hast not tolde me wherein thy great strength lieth.
Te phoeiah, “Nang loh, 'Kan lungnah,’ tila metlamlae na thui thai, na lungbuei te kai taengah a om pawt dongah kai taengah voei thum na omsaa tih, me tla na thadueng a len khaw kai taengah na thui moenih,” a ti nah.
16 And because shee was importunate vpon him with her wordes continually, and vexed him, his soule was pained vnto the death.
Tedae Samson te hnin takuem ah a ol neh a kilh tih a toeh a oeih dongah duek ham ni a hinglu long a hnuenah coeng.
17 Therefore he tolde her all his heart, and said vnto her, There neuer came rasor vpon mine head: for I am a Nazarite vnto God from my mothers wombe: therefore if I bee shauen, my strength will goe from me, and I shalbe weake, and be like all other men.
Te dongah a lungbuei kah boeih te Delilah taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah, “Kai he a nu bung khui lamloh Pathen kah hlangcoelh la ka om dongah thiha loh ka lu a ben moenih. Vo koinih ka thadueng he kai lamloh nong vetih ka tlo ni. Te vaengah hlang boeih banglam ni ka om eh?,” a ti nah.
18 And when Delilah sawe that he had tolde her all his heart, she sent, and called for the Princes of ye Philistims, saying, Come vp once againe: for he hath shewed mee all his heart. Then the Princes of the Philistims came vp vnto her, and brought the money in their handes.
A lungbuei kah aka om boeih te a thui coeng tila Delilah loh a hmuh. Te dongah tah Philisti boei rhoek te a tah tih a khue vaengah, “Anih long he kamah taengah a lungbuei kah boeih te a phoe coeng dongah vai ah halo uh saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Philisti boei rhoek loh Delilah taengla halo uh tih a kut dongah tangka hang khuen uh.
19 And she made him sleepe vpon her knees, and she called a man, and made him to shaue off the seuen lockes of his head, and shee began to vexe him, and his strength was gone from him.
A khuklu dongah Samson a soei tih hlang a khue. Samson lu dongkah samtum parhih te a vok pah tih Samson te phaep ham te a poeih. Te dongah a thadueng khaw Samson dong lamloh viik nong.
20 Then she said, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee awoke out of his sleepe, and thought, I will go out now as at other times, and shake my selfe, but he knewe not that the Lord was departed from him.
Te vaengah, “Samson, na pum dongkah Philisti rhoek te,” a ti nah tih a ih lamkah haenghang. A noek noek vaengkah bangla ka thoo vetih ka khoek bitni a ti. Tedae anih taeng lamloh BOEIPA a nong te amah loh ming pawh.
21 Therefore the Philistims tooke him, and put out his eyes, and brought him downe to Azzah, and bounde him with fetters: and hee did grinde in the prison house.
Te dongah Samson te Philisti rhoek loh a tuuk uh tih a mik a koeih pauh. Gaza la a suntlak puei uh tih rhohum neh a khih uh. Te dongah Samson tah thongtla im ah sum aka kuelh la a khih uh.
22 And the heare of his head began to growe againe after that it was shauen.
Tedae a vok vanbangla a lu dongkah a sam loh pahoi a cawn pah.
23 Then the Princes of the Philistims gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice vnto Dagon their god, and to reioyce: for they said, Our god hath deliuered Samson our enemie into our handes.
Te vaengah Philisti boei rhoek loh amamih kah Dagon pathen taengah hmueih puei nawn ham tingtun uh. Te dongah kohoenah neh, “Mamih kah thunkha Samson tah mamih kah pathen loh mamih kut ah m'paek coeng,” a ti uh.
24 Also when the people saw him, they praysed their god: for they sayde, Our god hath deliuered into our hands our enemie and destroyer of our countrey, which hath slayne many of vs.
Pilnam loh a hmuh vaengah a pathen te a thangthen uh tih, “Mamih kah khohmuen a khah tih mamih rhok aka pung sak, mamih kah thunkha tah mamih kut ah pathen loh m'paek coeng,” a ti uh.
25 And when their heartes were merie, they said, Call Samson, that he may make vs pastime. So they called Samson out of the prison house, and he was a laughing stocke vnto them, and they set him betweene the pillars.
A lungbuei a umya a umya uh vaengah ah, “Samson te khue lamtah mamih ham luem lah saeh,” a ti uh. Te dongah thongtla im kah a pael Samson te a khue uh. Samson te amih mikhmuh ah a lawn uh tih tung laklo ah a pai sakuh.
26 Then Samson saide vnto the seruant that led him by the hande, Lead me, that I may touch the pillars that the house standeth vpon, and that I may leane to them.
Te vaengah Samson loh a kut dongah aka pangtung camoe pakhat taengah, “Kai ng'khuen lamtah im tung te ka yam lah eh. Te dongah te a naep la ka duem lah eh,” a ti nah.
27 (Nowe the house was full of men and women, and there were all the princes of the Philistims: also vpon the roofe were about three thousande men and women that behelde while Samson played)
Te vaengah huta tongpa loh im khuiah muep thet uh tih Philisti boei rhoek boeih tah imphu ah ngoluh. Samson kah luem aka so huta tongpa thawng thum tluk louh.
28 Then Samson called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord God, I pray thee, thinke vpon me: O God, I beseech thee, strengthen me at this time onely, that I may be at once auenged of the Philistims for my two eyes.
Tedae Samson loh BOEIPA a khue tih, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, kai m'poek laem lamtah tahae ah kai he Pathen loh voeikhat mah n'talong lah saeh, te daengah ni ka mik rhoi ham Philisti soah pakhat la phulohnah neh phu ka loh eh?,” a ti nah.
29 And Samson layd hold on the two middle pillars whereupon the house stood, and on which it was borne vp: on the one with his right hand, and on the other with his left.
Te vaengah Samson loh im laklung kah tung rhoi taengla hoi uh. Te rhoi dongah tawn uh tih pakhat te a bantang ah, pakhat te a banvoei ah a duel thil.
30 Then Samson saide, Let me lose my life with the Philistims: and he bowed him with all his might, and the house fell vpon the princes, and vpon all the people that were therein. so the dead which he slewe at his death were more then they which he had slaine in his life.
Te phoeiah Samson loh, “Ka hinglu he Philisti rhoek neh hmaih duek saeh,” a ti tih thadueng neh a tulh. Te dongah boei rhoek neh a khuikah pilnam boeih te im loh a cungku thil. A duek vaengah a ngawn tih aka duek he a hing vaengkah a ngawn lakah a yet ngai om.
31 Then his brethren, and all the house of his father came downe and tooke him, and brought him vp and buryed him betweene Zorah and Eshtaol, in the sepulchre of Manoah his father: nowe he had iudged Israel twenty yeeres.
Te vaengah a mana rhoek neh a napa cako te boeih suntla uh tih rhok a loh uh. Te phoeiah a khuen uh tih Zorah laklo neh Eshtaol laklo kah a napa Manoah phuel ah a up uh. Israel te anih loh kum kul lai a tloek pah.
