< Judges 16 >

1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
Sie len ah Samson el som nu Gaza, sie siti lun mwet Philistia. Ingo el liyauk sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac el utyak ac motulla yorol ke fong sac.
2 [And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed [him] in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
Ke mwet Gaza elos lohng lah Samson el oasr we, elos som raunela acn sac ac soanel ke mutunpot lun siti sac. Elos misla ke fong nufon sac ac fahk, “Soano nu ke lenelik, na kut fah unilya.”
3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that [is] before Hebron.
Tusruktu Samson el oan nwe infulwen fong, na el tukakek, tulakunla srungul ke mutunpot sac, wi sru lukwa ac sukan kaul mutunoa. El lippisauk ma inge ac usak nwe ke mangon eol soko oan ngeti nu Hebron.
4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
Tukun ma inge, Samson el lungseyak sie mutan su muta Infahlfal Sorek. Inen mutan sac pa Delilah.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
Leum limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos som nu yurin mutan sac ac fahk, “Srike lah kom ac ku in oru elan fahkot lah mea oru ku se lal inge, ac mea kut ku in oru tuh kut in kutangulla ac kaprilya ac kunausla kuiyal. Kais sie sesr ac fah sot nu sum sie tausin siofok ipin silver.”
6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
Na Delilah el som ac fahk nu sel Samson, “Fahkma nu sik lah mea se oru ku se lom ingan. Mwet se fin lungse kaprikomi ac kunausla kuiyom, el ac oru fuka?”
7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Ac Samson el fahk, “Mwet se fin kapriyuwi ke ah in pisr itkosr su srakna sasu ac soenna paola, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Na leum lun mwet Philistia elos use ah in pisr na sasu itkosr su soenna paola, ac sang nu sel Delilah, ac el sang kaprilya Samson.
9 Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
Delilah el tuh okanla kutu mwet ke sie pac infukil, na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Na Samson el wotyalik ah in pisr inge oana ke turet soko ac wotelik ke ac pusralla e uh. Ouinge elos tiana konauk lah ku lal tuku ya me.
10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
Na Delilah el fahk nu sel Samson, “Liye, kom tiana kaskas pwaye nu sik, a kom aklalfonyeyu! Nunak munas, fahk nu sik lah ac orek fuka in kapiri kom.”
11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Na Samson el fahk mu, “Mwet fin kapriyuwi ke sucl sasu ma soenna orekmakinyuk, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
Ouinge Delilah el sang kutu sucl sasu kaprilya. Na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” (Oasr na mwet soano ke sie pac infukil.) Na Samson el sifilpa wotyalik sucl ekasr ah oana turet uh.
13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
Na Delilah el sifilpa fahk nu sel Samson, “Kom srakna aklalfonyeyu ac kikiap nu sik. Fahkma lah ac orek fuka in kapiri kom.” Samson el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Kom fin orani aunsuf nu ke srup itkosr ac sang otwela nu ke sie mwe orek nuknuk, ac sang sak in mwe otwot soko ah, ac itungya, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
14 And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
Na Delilah el oru tuh Samson elan motulla, na el orani aunsifal nu ke srup itkosr, ac otwela nu ke mwe orek nuknuk, ac itungya ke sak in mwe otwot sac, na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Na Samson el ngutalik ac tulakunla aunsifal liki mwe orek nuknuk sac.
15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart [is] not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength [lieth].
Na Delilah el fahk nu sel, “Efu ku kom fahk mu kom lungse nga, a kom tiana fahk ke insiom na pwaye— Kom kiapweyula pacl tolu, a kom tiana akkalemye lah mea oru ku se lom ingan.”
16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed unto death;
El kwafe ouinge nu sel len nukewa, nwe ke na Samson el arulana ulla sel,
17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I [have been] a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.
ac el tari na fahk na pwaye ma el siyuk sel ah. El mu, “Wangin sie pacl insifuk kalkulla. Ke nga isusla elos sriyula nu sin God tuh nga in sie mwet Nazirite. Fin kalkulla sifuk, na ku luk uh ac wanginla, ac nga ac fah munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
Ke Delilah el akilen lah Samson el kaskas pwaye nu sel, na el sapla nu sin leum lun mwet Philistia ac fahk, “Sifilpa foloko. El akkalemye na pwaye ma nukewa nu sik.” Ouinge elos tuku ac us mani inpaolos.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Delilah el akmotulyal Samson finyepal, na el sap sie mwet ah in kalla sripin aunsuf itkosr ke sifal. Na Delilah el mutawauk in akkasrkusrakyal, ac ku lal Samson mutawauk wanginla lukel.
20 And she said, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
Na mutan sac wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Ke el ngutalik, el nunku mu el ac sukosok oana meet ah. Tusruktu el tiana etu lah LEUM GOD El som lukel.
21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
Mwet Philistia elos sruokilya, ac tipalla atronmutal, ac usalla nu Gaza. Elos kaprilya ke mwe kapir bronze ac usalla tuh elan orekma ke mwe ilil se in presin ah.
22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Na aunsifal sifilpa mutawauk in kapak.
23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Leum lun mwet Philistia elos fahsreni tuh elos in engan ac kisakin mwe kisa lulap nu sel Dagon, god lalos. Elos on ac fahk, “God lasr el eisalma Samson, mwet lokoalok lasr, nu inpaosr.”
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
Ke mwet ah liyal, elos kaksakin god lalos ac fahk, “Mwet lokoalok lasr su kunausla acn sesr ac uniya mwet puspis lasr, god lasr el eisalma nu inpaosr.”
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 made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
Ke yohk engan lalos ah, elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Usalu Samson elan akpwarye kut.” Na elos usalu Samson liki presin ac sap elan tu inmasrlon sru lulap ah, ac akpwaryalos.
26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
Samson el fahk nu sin tulik se ma pwanul ah, “Pwenyula nu yen ma nga ac ku in kahlya sru ma loango lohm uh ngan mau ku in fungla kac.”
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
Lohm sac tingtingi ke mukul ac mutan. Leum lun mwet Philistia kewa muta pac we, ac apkuran in tolu tausin mukul ac mutan elos muta fin mangon lohm ah ngeti liye ma Samson el oru ah.
28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Na Samson el pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nunak munas esamyu. O God, nga kwafe sum tuh kom in sifilpa ase ku nu sik ke pacl sefanna lula inge, tuh nga fah ku in foloksak nu sin mwet Philistia inge ke po sefanna, ke sripen atronmutuk.”
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
Na Samson el saplakang nu ke sru lulap lukwa ma oan infulwa mwe loango lohm sac. El filiya la paol ke soko, ac la nu ke soko, ac mutawauk in sinukun,
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.
ac el wowoyak ac fahk, “Lela nga in misa wi mwet Philistia inge!” Na el sang kuiyal nufon sinukun sru ah, na lohm sac putati nu fin leum limekosr ac mwet saya nukewa. Ouinge, pisen mwet el uniya ke el misa ah alukela pisen mwet el tuh uniya ke pacl el moul ah.
31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Tamulel lal ac mwet nukewa in sou lun papa tumal ah elos tuku in eis manol. Elos folokunla ac piknilya ke kulyuk lal Manoah, papa tumal ah, inmasrlon Zorah ac Eshtaol. Samson el tuh mwet nununku lun mwet Israel ke yac longoul.
