Judges 16
1 And Sampson went to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
| وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ذَهَبَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى غَزَّةَ حَيْثُ الْتَقَى بِامْرَأَةٍ عَاهِرَةٍ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا. | ١ |
2 And it was reported to the Gazites, saying, Sampson is come here: and they compassed him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and they were quiet all the night, saying, Let us wait till the dawn appear, and we will kill him.
| فَقِيلَ لأَهْلِ غَزَّةَ: «قَدْ جَاءَ شَمْشُونُ إِلَى هُنَا». فَحَاصَرُوا الْمَنْزِلَ وَكَمَنُوا لَهُ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِالْهُدُوءِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ قَائِلِينَ: «عِنْدَ بُزُوغِ الصَّبَاحِ نَقْتُلُهُ». | ٢ |
3 And Sampson slept till midnight, and rose up at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city with the two posts, and lifted them up with the bar, and laid them on his shoulders, and he went up to the top of the mountain that is before Chebron, and laid them there.
| وَظَلَّ شَمْشُونُ رَاقِداً حَتَّى مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ هَبَّ وَخَلَعَ مِصْرَاعَيْ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِقَائِمَتَيْهَا وَقُفْلِهَا، وَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ وَصَعِدَ بِها إِلَى قِمَّةِ الْجَبَلِ مُقَابِلَ حَبْرُونَ. | ٣ |
4 And it came to pass after this that he loved a woman in Alsorech, and her name [was] Dalida.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَقَعَ شَمْشُونُ فِي حُبِّ امْرَأَةٍ فِي وَادِي سُورَقَ اسْمُهَا دَلِيلَةُ، | ٤ |
5 And the princess of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Beguile him, and see wherein his great strength [is], and wherewith we shall prevail against him, and bind him to humble him; and we will give you each eleven hundred [pieces] of silver.
| فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهَا أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَقَالُوا لَهَا: «تَمَلَّقِي شَمْشُونَ إِلَى أَنْ تَكْتَشِفِي مِنْهُ سِرَّ قُوَّتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَكَيْفَ يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَتَغَلَّبَ عَلَيْهِ وَنُوْثِقَهُ فَنُذِلَّهُ فَيُكَافِئَكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا بِأَلْفٍ وَمِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثلاثِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً)». | ٥ |
6 And Dalida said to Sampson, Tell me, I pray you, wherein [is] your great strength, and wherewith you shall be bound that you may be humbled.
| فَقَالَتْ دَلِيلَةُ لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَا هُوَ سِرُّ قُوَّتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَكَيْفَ يَتَسَنَّى تَقْيِيدُكَ وَإِذْلالُكَ» | ٦ |
7 And Sampson said to her, If they bind me with seven moist cords that have not been spoiled, then shall I be weak and be as one of ordinary men.
| فَأَجَابَهَا شَمْشُونُ: «إِذَا أَوْثَقُونِي بِسَبْعَةِ أَوْتَارٍ طَرِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَجِفَّ بَعْدُ، أُصْبِحُ ضَعِيفاً كَأَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ». | ٧ |
8 And the princess of the Philistines brought to her seven moist cords that had not been spoiled, and she bound him with them.
| فَأَحْضَرَ لَهَا أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَبْعَةَ أَوْتَارٍ طَرِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَجِفَّ بَعْدُ، فَأَوْثَقَتْهُ بِها. | ٨ |
9 And the liers in wait remained with her in the chamber; and she said to him, the Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he broke the cords as if any one should break a thread of tow when it has touched the fire, and his strength was not known.
| وَكَانَ الْكَمِينُ مُتَرَبِّصاً بِهِ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ». فَقَطَعَ الأَوْتَارَ وَكَأَنَّهَا خُيُوطٌ شَيَّطَتْهَا النَّارُ، وَلَمْ يُكْتَشَفْ سِرُّ قُوَّتِهِ. | ٩ |
10 And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, you have cheated me, and told me lies; now then tell me wherewith you shall be bound.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ دَلِيلَةُ: «لَقَدْ خَدَعْتَنِي وَكَذِبْتَ عَلَيَّ. فَأَخْبِرْنِي الآنَ كَيْفَ تُوْثَقُ؟» | ١٠ |
11 And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes with which work has not been done, then shall I be weak, and shall be as another man.
| فَأَجَابَهَا: «إِذَا أَوْثَقُونِي بِحِبَالٍ جَدِيدَةٍ، أُصْبِحُ ضَعِيفاً كَأَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ». | ١١ |
12 And Dalida took new ropes, and bound him with them, and the liers in wait came out of the chamber, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he broke them off his arms like a thread.
| فَأَخَذَتْ دَلِيلَةُ حِبَالاً جَدِيدَةً وَأَوْثَقَتْهُ بِها، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ». وَكَانَ الْكَمِينُ يَتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ، فَقَطَعَ الْحِبَالَ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَكَأَنَّهَا خُيُوطٌ. | ١٢ |
13 And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, you have deceived me, and told me lies; tell me, I entreat you, wherewith you may be bound: and he said to her, If you should weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and should fasten them with the pin into the wall, then shall I be weak as another man.
| فَقَالَتْ دَلِيلَةُ لِشَمْشُونَ: «أَنْتَ مَازِلْتَ تَكْذِبُ عَلَيَّ وَتَخْدَعُنِي، فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِمَاذَا تُوْثَقُ؟» فَأَجَابَهَا: «إِنْ ضَفَرْتِ خُصْلاتِ شَعْرِي السَّبْعَ بِمِغْزَلٍ وَثَبَّتِّهَا بِوَتَدٍ، فَإِنَّنِي أُصْبِحُ ضَعِيفاً كَأَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ». وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَغِطُّ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ ضَفَرَتْ دَلِيلَةُ خُصْلاتِ شَعْرِهِ السَّبْعَ بِمِغْزَلٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And it came to pass when he was asleep, that Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web, and fastened them with the pin into the wall, and she said, The Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep, and carried away the pin of the web out of the wall.
| وَثَبَّتَتْهَا بِوَتَدٍ، وَنَادَتْهُ ثَانِيَةً: «الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ» فَانْتَبَهَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَخَلَعَ وَتَدَ النَّسِيجِ مَعَ الْمِغْزَلِ. | ١٤ |
15 And Dalida said to Sampson, How say you, I love you, when your heart is not with me? this third time you have deceived me, and have not told me wherein [is] your great strength.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ تَدَّعِي أَنَّكَ تُحِبُّنِي وَقَلْبُكَ لَا يَثِقُ بِي؟ قَدْ خَدَعْتَنِي ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَلَمْ تُطْلِعْنِي عَلَى سِرِّ قُوَّتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ». | ١٥ |
16 And it came to pass as she pressed him sore with her words continually, and straitened him, that his spirit failed almost to death.
| وَظَلَّتْ تُلِحُّ عَلَيْهِ وَتُزْعِجُهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ حَتَّى ضَاقَتْ نَفْسُهُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ. | ١٦ |
17 Then he told her all his heart, and said to her, A razor has not come upon my head, because I have been a holy [one] of God from my mother's womb; if then I should be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I shall be weak, and I shall be as all [other] men.
| فَكَشَفَ لَهَا عَنْ مَكْنُونِ قَلْبِهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: «إِنَّنِي نَذِيرُ الرَّبِّ مُنْذُ مَوْلِدِي، لِهَذَا لَمْ أَحْلِقْ شَعْرِي. وَإِنْ حَلَقْتُهُ فَإِنَّ قُوَّتِي تُفَارِقُنِي وَأُصْبِحُ ضَعِيفاً كَأَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ». | ١٧ |
18 And Dalida saw that he told her all his heart, and she sent and called the princess of the Philistines, saying, Come up yet this once; for he has told me all his heart. And the chiefs of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
| وَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَتْ دَلِيلَةُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَسَرَّ لَهَا بِمَكْنُونِ قَلْبِهِ، اسْتَدْعَتْ أَقْطَابَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَوْا هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ، فَقَدْ أَطْلَعَنِي عَلَى سِرِّ قُوَّتِهِ». فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ حَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمُ الْفِضَّةَ. | ١٨ |
19 And Dalida made Sampson sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and he shaved the seven locks of his head, and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from him.
| فَأَضْجَعَتْهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهَا وَاسْتَدْعَتْ رَجُلاً حَلَقَ لَهُ خُصْلاتِ شَعْرِهِ السَّبْعَ، وَشَرَعَتْ فِي إِذْلالِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَارَقَتْهُ قُوَّتُهُ. | ١٩ |
20 And Dalida said, The Philistines [are] upon you, Sampson: and he awoke out of his sleep and said, I will go out as at former times, and shake myself; and he knew not that the Lord was departed from him.
| وَقَالَتْ: «الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ قَادِمُونَ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَمْشُونُ» فَاسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ: «أَقُومُ مِثْلَ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَأَنْتَفِضُ». وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ فَارَقَهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 And the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he ground in the prison-house.
| فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَقَلَعُوا عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَخَذُوهُ إِلَى غَزَّةَ حَيْثُ أَوْثَقُوهُ بِسَلاسِلَ نُحَاسِيَّةٍ، وَسَخَّرُوهُ لِيَطْحَنَ الْحُبُوبَ فِي السِّجْنِ. | ٢١ |
22 And the hair of his head began to grow as before it was shaven.
| وَمَا لَبِثَ شَعْرُهُ أَنِ ابْتَدَأَ يَنْمُو بَعْدَ أَنْ حُلِقَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the chiefs of the Philistines met to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to make merry; and they said, God has given into our hand our enemy Sampson.
| وَاجْتَمَعَ أَقْطَابُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيَحْتَفِلُوا بِتَقْدِيمِ ذَبِيحَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ لإِلَهِهِمْ دَاجُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ إِلَهَنَا قَدْ أَظْفَرَنَا بِشَمْشُونَ عَدُوِّنَا». | ٢٣ |
24 And the people saw him, and sang praises to their god; for our god, [said they], has delivered into our hand our enemy, who wasted our land, and who multiplied our slain.
| وَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ الشَّعْبُ شَمْشُونَ فِي ذِلَّةٍ، مَجَّدُوا إِلَهَهُم قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ أَظفَرَنَا إِلَهُنَا بِعَدُوِّنَا الَّذِي خَرَّبَ أَرْضَنَا، وَأَكْثَرَ مِنْ قَتْلانَا». | ٢٤ |
25 And when their heart was merry, then they said, Call Sampson out of the prison-house, and let him play before us: and they called Sampson out of the prison-house, and he played before them; and they struck him with the palms of their hands, and set him between the pillars.
| وَإِذْ لَعِبَتْ بِهِمِ النَّشْوَةُ هَتَفُوا: «ادْعُوا شَمْشُونَ لِيُسَلِّيَنَا». فَجَاءُوا بِشَمْشُونَ مِنَ السِّجْنِ فَلَعِبَ أَمَامَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَوْقَفُوهُ بَيْنَ الأَعْمِدَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And Sampson said to the young man that held his hand, Suffer me to feel the pillars on which the house [rests], and I will stay myself upon them.
| فَقَالَ شَمْشُونُ لِلْغُلامِ الَّذِي يَقُودُهُ: «أَوْقِفْنِي حَيْثُ يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أَلْمِسَ الأَعْمِدَةَ الَّتِي يَقُومُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَعْبَدُ حَتَّى أَسْتَنِدَ إِلَيْهَا». | ٢٦ |
27 And the house [was] full of men and woman, and there were all the chiefs of the Philistines, and on the roof [were] about three thousand men and woman looking at the sports of Sampson.
| وَكَانَ الْمَعْبَدُ يَكْتَظُّ بِالرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، فَضْلاً عَنْ أَقْطَابِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةِ. وَكَانَ عَلَى السَّطْحِ نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ يَتَفَرَّجُونَ عَلَى لَعِبِ شَمْشُونَ. | ٢٧ |
28 And Sampson wept before the Lord, and said, O Lord, my lord, remember me, I pray you, and strengthen me, O God, yet this once, and I will requite one recompense to the Philistines for my two eyes.
| فَصَلَّى شَمْشُونُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «يَا سَيِّدِي الرَّبُّ، اذْكُرْنِي وَقَوِّنِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ لأَنْتَقِمَ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ عَنْ قَلْعِ عَيْنَيَّ بِضَرْبَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ». | ٢٨ |
29 And Sampson took hold of the two pillars of the house on which the house stood, and leaned on them, and laid hold of one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
| وَقَبَضَ شَمْشُونُ عَلَى الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُتَوَسِّطَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَرْتَكِزُ عَلَيْهِمَا الْمَعْبَدُ وَضَغَطَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا بِيَمِينِهِ وَعَلَى الآخَرِ بِيَسَارِهِ | ٢٩ |
30 And Sampson said, Let my wife perish with the Philistines: and he bowed himself mightily; and the house fell upon the princes, and upon all the people that were in it: and the dead whom Sampson killed in his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.
| وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «لأَمُتْ مَعَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ثُمَّ دَفَعَهُمَا بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِ فَانْهَارَ الْمَعْبَدُ عَلَى الأَقْطَابِ وَعَلَى الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي فِيهِ. فَكَانَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ شَمْشُونُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِ. | ٣٠ |
31 And his brethren and his father's house went down, and they took him; and they went up and buried him between Saraa and Esthaol in the sepulchre of his father Manoe; and he judged Israel twenty years.
| وَجَاءَ إِخْوَتُهُ وَكُلُّ أَقْرِبَاءِ أَبِيهِ وَحَمَلُوا جُثَّتَهُ حَيْثُ دَفَنُوهُ بَيْنَ صُرْعَةَ وَأَشْتَأُولَ فِي قَبْرِ مَنُوحَ أَبِيهِ، وَكَانَ شَمْشُونُ قَدْ قَضَى لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣١ |
