Judges 16
1 Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.
Potem je Samson odšel v Gazo in tam videl pocestnico in šel noter k njej.
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.
To je bilo povedano prebivalcem Gaze, rekoč: »Samson je prišel sèm.« Obkolili so ga in vso noč prežali nanj v velikih vratih mesta in vso noč so mirovali, rekoč: »Zjutraj, ko je dan, ga bomo umorili.«
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.
Samson je ležal do polnoči, ob polnoči pa je vstal, vzel vrata velikih vrat mesta in dva podboja in z njimi odšel proč, zapah in vse in si jih naložil na svoje rame in jih odnesel gor na vrh hriba, ki je pred Hebrónom.
4 And it came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, whose name was Delilah.
Potem se je pripetilo, da je ljubil žensko v dolini Sorék, ki ji je bilo ime Dalíla.
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.
Filistejski knezi so prišli gor k njej in ji rekli: »Premami ga in poglej kje tiči njegova velika moč in s kakšnimi sredstvi bi lahko prevladali zoper njega, da bi ga lahko zvezali, da ga oslabimo, mi pa ti bomo dali, vsak izmed nas, tisoč sto koščkov srebra.«
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.
Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje leži tvoja velika moč in s čim bi bil lahko zvezan, da se te oslabi.«
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.
Samson ji je rekel: »Če me zvežejo s sedmimi zelenimi vrvmi, ki niso bile nikoli posušene, potem bom slaboten in bom kakor drug človek.«
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.
Potem so filistejski knezi gor k njej prinesli sedem zelenih vrvi, ki niso bile posušene in ona ga je z njimi zvezala.
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.
Torej tam so v zasedi prežali možje, ki so z njo ostajali v sobi. Rekla mu je: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Potrgal je vrvi, kakor se pretrga nit prediva, ko se dotakne ognja. Tako njegova moč ni bila poznana.
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.
Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Glej, zasmehoval si me in mi govoril laži. Sedaj mi povej, prosim te, s čim bi bil lahko zvezan.«
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.
Rekel ji je: »Če bi me trdno zvezali z novimi vrvmi, ki niso bile nikoli uporabljene, potem bi bil šibek in bi bil kakor drug človek.«
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.
Zato je Dalíla vzela nove vrvi, ga z njimi zvezala in mu rekla: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« In tam so bili prežavci v zasedi, ki so ostajali v sobi. In potrgal jih je iz svojih rok kakor nit.
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.
Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Doklej si me zasmehoval in mi govoril laži. Povej mi s čim naj bi bil zvezan.« Rekel ji je: »Če stkeš sedem pramenov moje glave s tkalčjim osnutkom.«
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.
In pritrdila ga je z iglo in mu rekla: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Prebudil se je iz svojega spanja in odšel s tkalsko iglo in s tkalčjim osnutkom.
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.
Rekla mu je: »Kako lahko rečeš: ›Ljubim te, ‹ ko tvoje srce ni z menoj?« Že trikrat si me zasmehoval in mi nisi povedal, v čem leži tvoja velika moč.
16 And it came to pass, when she worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;
Ko ga je dnevno pritiskala s svojimi besedami in ga silila, tako da je bila njegova duša vznemirjena do smrti, se je pripetilo,
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.
da ji je izpovedal vse svoje srce in ji rekel: »Britev ni prišla na mojo glavo, kajti bil sem nazirec Bogu od maternice svoje matere. Če bom obrit, potem bo moja moč odšla od mene in postanem slaboten in bom podoben kateremukoli drugemu človeku.«
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.
Ko je Dalíla videla, da ji je izpovedal vse svoje srce, je poslala in dala poklicati filistejske kneze, rekoč: »Pridite tokrat gor, kajti razodel mi je vse svoje srce.« Potem so gor k njej prišli gospodarji Filistejcev in v svoji roki prinesli denar.
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.
Pripravila ga je, da je zaspal na njenih kolenih in dala poklicati moža, da mu iz njegove glave odstriže sedem pramenov in ga začela poniževati in njegova moč je odšla od njega.
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.
Rekla je: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Prebudil se je iz svojega spanja in rekel: »Šel bom ven kakor ob drugih časih poprej in se stresel.« Ni pa vedel, da je Gospod odšel od njega.
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.
Toda Filistejci so ga prijeli in iztaknili njegove oči in ga privedli dol v Gazo in ga zvezali z bronastimi okovi in mlel je v jetnišnici.
22 But the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.
Vendar so potem, ko je bil ostrižen, lasje njegove glave začeli ponovno rasti.
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.
Potem so se filistejski knezi zbrali skupaj, da svojemu bogu Dagónu darujejo veliko klavno daritev in da se veselijo, kajti rekli so: »Naš bog je v našo roko izročil našega sovražnika Samsona.«
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.
Ko ga je ljudstvo zagledalo, so hvalili svojega boga, kajti rekli so: »Naš bog je v naše roke izročil našega sovražnika in uničevalca naše dežele, ki je umoril številne izmed nas.«
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.
Pripetilo pa se je, ko so bila njihova srca vesela, da so rekli: »Pokličite Samsona, da nam bo lahko naredil zabavo.« Iz jetnišnice so dali poklicati Samsona in naredil jim je zabavo. Postavili so ga med stebre.
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.
Samson pa je rekel dečku, ki ga je držal za roko: »Dopusti mi, da lahko čutim stebre, na katerih stoji hiša, da se lahko naslonim nanje.«
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.
Torej hiša je bila polna mož in žena in vsi filistejski knezi so bili tam in tam je bilo na strehi okoli tri tisoč mož in žena, ki so gledali, medtem ko jih je Samson zabaval.
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.
Samson pa je zaklical h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, spomni se me, prosim te in okrepi me, prosim te, samo [še] tokrat, oh Bog, da se bom lahko takoj maščeval Filistejcem za svoji dve očesi.«
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.
Samson se je oklenil dveh srednjih nosilnih stebrov, na katerih, je slonela hiša, na enega s svojo desnico in na drugega s svojo levico.
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.
Samson je rekel: »Naj umrem s Filistejci.« Z vso svojo močjo se je sklonil in hiša je padla na kneze in na vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njej. Tako je bilo mrtvih, ki jih je usmrtil ob svoji smrti, več kakor tistih, ki jih je usmrtil v svojem življenju.
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.
Potem so njegovi bratje in vsa hiša njegovega očeta prišli dol, ga vzeli in ga prinesli gor ter ga pokopali med Coro in Eštaólom, na grobišču njegovega očeta Manóaha. Izraelu je sodil dvajset let.
