< Judges 16 >

1 Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.
I HO aku la o Samesona i Gaza, a ike iho la ilaila i kekahi wahine hookamakama, a komo aku la io na la.
2 And it was told to the Gazzites, saying, Samson is come hither: and they compassed him in, and lay in wait for him all the night in the gate of the city, and held themselves quiet all the night, saying, By the time it is light in the morning will we kill him.
Haiia'ku la i ko Gaza, Ua hiki mai nei o Samesona. Hoopuni iho la lakou ia wahi, a hoohalua ia ia, ia po a ao, ma ka puka o ke kulanakauhale, a moe malie no ia po a pau, i iho la, A kakahiaka, i ke ao ana ae, make no oia ia kakou.
3 And Samson lay till midnight; but he arose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the city-gate, and the two door-posts, and tore them away with the bolt, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mount that is before Hebron.
Moe iho la o Samesona, a iwaena konu o ka po; alaila, ala mai la ia iwaena konu o ka po, a lawe iho la i na pani o ke kulanakauhale, a me na lapauwila elua, unuhi ae la ia laua me ka hoaka o ka puka, kau iho la maluna o kona mau poohiwi, a lawe aku la iluna pono o kahi puu, ma ke alo o Heberona.
4 And it came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, whose name was Delilah.
A mahope iho, aloha ae la ia i kekahi wahine ma ke kahawai o Soreka, o Delila kona inoa.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Persuade him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail over him, that we may bind him to subdue him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
Pii ae la na'lii o Pilisetia io na la, i ae la ia ia, E hoowalewale oe ia ia, a e nana hoi i kahi o kona ikaika nui, a me ka mea e lanakila'i makou maluna ona, i nakinaki makou ia ia, a pilikia ia; alaila, e uku aku makou ia oe, i hookahi tausani apana kala, a me ka haneri keu.
6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou canst be bound to subdue thee.
I aku la o Delila ia Samesona, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e ikaika nui ai, a me ka mea e paa ai oe, i pilikia ai oe.
7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven moist cords which have not yet been dried, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.
I mai la o Samesona ia ia, Ina nakinaki mai lakou ia'u i na kaula maka ehiku, i hoomaloo ole ia, alaila, e nawaliwali au, a like auanei me kekahi kanaka.
8 And the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven moist cords which had not yet been dried, and she bound him with them.
Alaila, lawe mai na'lii o ko Pilisetia ia ia i ehiku kaula maka, i hoomaloo ole ia, a me ia no ia i nakinaki ai ia ia.
9 And she had men lying in wait, sitting near her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he tore the cords, as a thread of tow is torn when it toucheth the fire; and his strength was not perceived.
E moe malu ana no na kanaka maloko o ia keena me ia. I mai la kela, Maluna on auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Moku ae la ia ia na kaula, e like me ka moku ana o ke kaula oka, i kona wa e honi ai i ke ahi, aole hoi i loaa kahi o kona ikaika.
10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; now do tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou canst be bound.
I mai la o Delila ia Samesona, Aia hoi, ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a ua hoopunipuni mai ia'u. Nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e paa ai.
11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that have never been used in work, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.
I aku la keia ia ia, Ina nakinaki paa loa mai lakou ia'u i na kaula hou, aole i hoohanaia, alaila e nawaliwali au, a e like auanei me kekahi kanaka.
12 And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And the liers in wait were sitting in the chamber. But he tore them from off his arms like a thread.
Kii ae la o Delila i na kaula hou, a nakinaki iho la ia ia me ia, i ae la, Maluna ou auanei o ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. E moe malu ana no na kanaka maloko o ia keena. Moku ae la ia ia na kaula, mai kona lima aku, me he lopi la.
13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; do tell me wherewith thou canst be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
I mai o Delila ia Samesona, Ua hoowahawaha mai oe ia'u, a hiki mai i keia manawa, a ua hoopunipuni ia'u. E hai mai oe ia'u i kou mea e paa ai. I aku la keia ia ia, Ina e ulana pu oe i na will ehiku o ko'u poo, me ka lole.
14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awakened out of his sleep, and tore away the pin of the loom, with the web.
Alaila, makia iho la ia i ke kui, i ae la, Maluna ou auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Ala ae la ia mai kona hiamoe ana, a hele aku la me ke kui o ka mea nana i ulana, a me ka lole pu.
15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou deceived me, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
I mai la oia ia ia, Pehea la oe e olelo ai, Ua aloha au ia oe? Aole hoi kou naau me au. Ekolu ou hoowahawaha ana mai ia'u, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u i kahi o kou ikaika nui.
16 And it came to pass, when she worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;
I kona koi ana ia ia i na la a pau, i kana olelo ana, a hookaumaha loa ia ia, a pilikia kona manao, aneane make;
17 And he told her all his heart, and said unto her, A razor hath not passed over my head; for a Nazarite of God have I been from my mother's womb; if I were shaved, my strength would depart from me, and I should become weak, and be like all other men.
Alaila, hai aku la oia ia ia i kona naau a pau, i aku la ia ia, Aole i kau mai ka pahikahi maluna o ko'u poo; no ka mea, ua laa au i ke Akua, mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine. Ina e kahiia au, alaila, lilo aku hoi ko'u ikaika mai o'u aku nei, a nawaliwali auanei au e like me kekahi kanaka.
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 told me all his heart. Then came the lords of the Philistines up unto her, and brought the money in their hand.
A ike iho la o Delila, ua hai mai kela ia ia i kona naau a pau, alaila kii aku la ia, a hoakoakoa mai la i na'lii o ko Pilisetia, i ae la, E pii hou mai oukou, no ka mea, ua hai mai oia ia'u i kona naau a pau. Alaila, pii ae la na'lii o ko Pilisetia io na la, a lawe ae la i ke kala, ma ko lakou lima.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to subdue him, and his strength departed from him.
Hoomoe iho la oia ia ia ma kona uha; a hea aku la i ke kanaka a haawi ia ia e kahi i na wili ehiku o kona poo a hemo; a hoomaka ia i ka hoopilikia ana ia ia, a lilo aku la kona ikaika, mai ona aku la.
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 shake myself free. But he knew not that the Lord had departed from him.
I mai la ia, Maluna ou auanei ko Pilisetia, e Samesona. Ala ae la ia, mai kona hiamoe ana, i mai la, E hele au iwaho e like me na wa mamua, e hooluliluli. Aole ia i ike, ua haalele o Iehova ia ia.
21 And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazzah, and bound him with fetters of copper; and he had to grind in the prison-house.
Hoopaa iho la ko Pilisetia ia ia, poalo aku la i kona mau maka, a lawe ae la ia ia i Gaza, a hoopaa iho la ia ia i na kupee keleawe; a wili ae la ia iloko o ka halepaahao.
22 But the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.
Hoomaka iho la ka lauoho o kona poo i ka ulu hou, e like me ia i ka wa i kahiia'i.
23 And the lords of the Philistines gathered themselves together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice; and they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand Samson our enemy.
Alaila hoakoakoa mai la na'lii o ko Pilisetia e kaumaha aku i mohai nui no Dagona, ko lakou akua, a e olioli; no ka mea, olelo mai la lakou, Ua haawi mai ko kakou akua ia Samesona o ko kakou enemi, iloko o ko kakou lima.
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, and him who hath slain so many of us.
A ike aku la na kanaka ia ia, hoomana aku la lakou i ko lakou akua; no ka mea, olelo mai la lakou, Ua haawi mai ko kakou akua iloko o ko kakou lima, i ko kakou enemi, i ka mea i anai ai i ko kakou aina, a luku nui mai ia kakou.
25 And it came to pass, when their heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made sport before them; and they placed him between the pillars.
A i ka wa lealea ai ko lakou naau, i ae la lakou, E kii aku ia Samesona, i hula mai ia no kakou. Kii aku la lakou ia Samesona ma ka halepaahao, a hula mai la ia imua o lakou. A hooku iho la lakou ia ia iwaena o na kia.
26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me [to go] and let me feel the pillars whereupon the house is supported, that I may lean upon them.
I ae la o Samesona i ke keiki e paa ana i kona lima, E hoomaha mai oe ia'u i hana aku au i na kia e paa ai ka hale, i hilinai hoi au ma ia mau mea.
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and there were all the lords of the Philistines; and upon the roof were about three thousand men and women, that looked on while Samson made sport.
Ua piha ka hale i na kanaka, a me na wahine. Malaila no na'lii a pau o ko Pilisetia. Ekolu tausani kanaka a me na wahine maluna o ka hale i nana mai i ko Samesona hula ana.
28 And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord Eternal, remember me, I pray thee, and do thou strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged for one of my two eyes on the Philistines.
Hea aku la o Samesona ia Iehova, i aku la, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, e hoomanao mai oe ia'u; ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hooikaika mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua e, i keia manawa hookahi no, i uku koke ia mai au e ko Pilisetia, no ko'u mau maka elua.
29 And Samson threw his arms around the two middle pillars upon which the house was supported, and he leaned on them, [on] one with his right hand, and [on] the other with his left.
Lalau iho la o Samesona ma na kia waenakonu elua, a oia hoi na mea e paa ai ka hale. Hilinai iho la oia ma ia mau mea, o ka lima akau ma kekahi, a o ka lima hema ma kekahi.
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bent [them] with might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.
I iho la o Samesona, E make pu au me ko Pilisetia. Kulou iho la me ka ikaika nui, a hina iho la ka hale maluna o na'lii, a maluna o na kanaka a pau maloko. Ua nui ka poe make, ana i luku ai i kona make ana, he hapa ka poe ana i luku ai i kona wa i ola'i.
31 Then came down his brothers and all the house of his father, and they took him up, and carried him up, and buried him between Zor'ah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoach his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
Iho aku la kona poe hoahanau, a me ko ka hale o kona makuakane, lalau iho la ia ia, a lawe ae la, a kanu iho la mawaena o Zora, a me Esetaola, ma ka ilina o Manoa, o kona makuakane. He iwakalua makahiki ana i hooponopono ai i ka Iseraela.
