< Judges 16 >

1 Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.
At naparoon si Samson sa Gaza, at nakakita roon ng isang patutot at sinipingan.
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.
At ibinalita sa mga taga Gaza na sinasabi, Si Samson ay naparito. At kanilang kinulong siya, at binakayan siya buong gabi sa pintuang-bayan, at tahimik buong gabi, na sinasabi, Maghintay tayo hanggang magbukang liwayway, saka natin patayin siya.
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.
At si Samson ay humiga hanggang hating gabi, at bumangon sa hating gabi at humawak sa mga pinto ng pintuang-bayan, at sa dalawang haligi, at kapuwa binunot, pati ng sikang, at pinasan sa kaniyang mga balikat, at isinampa sa taluktok ng bundok na nasa tapat ng Hebron.
4 And it came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, whose name was Delilah.
At nangyari pagkatapos, na siya'y suminta sa isang babae sa libis ng Sorec, na ang pangala'y Dalila.
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.
At inahon ng mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo ang babae, at sinabi sa kaniya: Dayain mo siya, at tingnan mo kung saan naroon ang kaniyang dakilang kalakasan, at sa anong paraan mananaig kami laban sa kaniya upang aming matalian at mapighati siya: at bibigyan ka ng bawa't isa sa amin ng isang libo't isang daang putol na pilak.
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.
At sinabi ni Dalila kay Samson, Saysayin mo sa akin, isinasamo ko sa iyo, kung saan naroon ang iyong dakilang kalakasan, at kung paanong matatalian ka upang pighatiin ka.
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.
At sinabi ni Samson sa kaniya, Kung tatalian nila ako ng pitong sariwang yantok na kailan man ay hindi natuyo, ay hihina ako, at ako'y magiging gaya ng alinmang tao.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagdala ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo sa kaniya ng pitong sariwang yantok na hindi pa natutuyo, at ipinagtali niya sa kaniya.
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.
Ngayo'y may mga bakay na sa silid sa loob. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At kaniyang pinatid ang mga yantok, na tulad sa taling estopa pagka nadidikitan ng apoy. Sa gayo'y hindi naalaman ang kaniyang lakas.
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.
At sinabi ni Dalila kay Samson, Narito, pinaglaruan mo ako, at pinagbulaanan mo ako: isinasamo ko ngayon sa iyo na saysayin mo sa akin kung paano matatalian ka.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Kung tatalian lamang nila ako ng mga bagong lubid na hindi pa nagagamit, ay hihina nga ako at magiging gaya ng alinmang tao.
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.
Sa gayo'y kumuha si Dalila ng mga bagong lubid, at itinali sa kaniya, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At ang mga bakay ay nangasa silid sa loob. At pawang pinatid niya sa kaniyang mga bisig na parang sinulid.
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.
At sinabi ni Dalila kay Samson, Hanggang dito'y pinaglaruan mo ako, at pinagbulaanan mo ako: saysayin mo sa akin kung paanong matatalian ka. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Kung iyong hahabihin ang pitong tirintas sa aking ulo ng hinabing kayo.
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.
At kaniyang pinagtibay ng tulos, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At siya'y gumising sa kaniyang pagkakatulog, at binunot ang tulos ng panghabi, at ang hinabi.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bakit nasasabi mo, na iniibig kita, sa bagay ang iyong puso ay hindi sumasaakin? pinaglaruan mo akong makaitlo, at hindi mo isinaysay sa akin kung saan nagpapahinga ang iyong dakilang kalakasan.
16 And it came to pass, when she worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;
At nangyari, nang kaniyang igiit araw araw, at kaniyang ipilit sa kaniya, na ang kaniyang loob ay naligalig sa ikamamatay.
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.
At isinaysay niya sa kaniya ang kaniyang buong taglayin sa kaniyang puso, at sinabi sa kaniya, Walang pangahit na nagdaan sa aking ulo; sapagka't ako'y naging Nazareo sa Dios mula sa tiyan ng aking ina: kung ako'y ahitan, hihiwalay nga sa akin ang aking lakas, at ako'y hihina, at magiging gaya ng alinmang tao.
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.
At nang makita ni Dalila na sinaysay sa kaniya, ang buong taglayin niya sa kaniyang puso, ay nagsugo siya at tinawag ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo, na sinasabi, Ahunin pa ninyong minsan, sapagka't sinaysay niya sa akin ang buong taglayin niya sa kaniyang puso. Nang magkagayo'y inahon siya ng mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo, at nagdala ng salapi sa kanilang kamay.
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.
At pinatulog niya siya sa kaniyang mga tuhod; at nagpatawag siya ng isang lalake, at inahit ang pitong tirintas sa kaniyang ulo; at pinasimulan niyang pighatiin siya, at ang kaniyang lakas ay nawala.
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.
At sinabi niya, Narito na sa iyo ang mga Filisteo, Samson. At siya'y gumising sa kaniyang pagkakatulog, at sinabi, Ako'y lalabas na gaya ng dati, at ako'y magpupumiglas. Nguni't hindi niya talos na ang Panginoo'y humiwalay sa kaniya.
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.
At hinuli ng mga Filisteo, at dinukit ang kaniyang mga mata; at inilusong nila sa Gaza, at tinalian siya ng mga pangaw na tanso; at siya'y gumiling sa bilangguan.
22 But the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.
Gayon ma'y nagpasimulang tumubo uli ang buhok ng kaniyang ulo, pagkatapos na siya'y maahitan.
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.
At nagpipisan ang mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo upang maghandog ng isang dakilang hain kay Dagon na kanilang dios, at mangagalak: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ibinigay ng ating dios si Samson na ating kaaway sa ating kamay.
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.
At nang makita siya ng bayan, ay kanilang pinuri ang kanilang dios: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Ibinigay ng ating dios sa ating kamay ang ating kaaway, at ang mangwawasak sa ating lupain, na pumatay sa marami sa atin.
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.
At nangyari, nang masayahan ang kanilang puso, na kanilang sinabi, Tawagin si Samson, upang siya'y ating mapaglaruan. At tinawag nga si Samson mula sa bilangguan; at siya'y pinaglaruan nila. At kanilang inilagay sa pagitan ng mga haligi:
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.
At sinabi ni Samson sa bata na umaakay sa kaniya sa kamay, Ipahipo mo sa akin ang mga haliging pumipigil ng bahay, upang aking mangahiligan.
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.
Ang bahay nga ay puno ng mga lalake at babae, at ang lahat ng mga pangulo ng mga Filisteo ay nandoon; at sa bubungan ay may tatlong libong lalake at babae, na nanonood samantalang pinaglalaruan si Samson.
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.
At tumawag si Samson sa Panginoon, at sinabi, Oh Panginoong Dios, idinadalangin ko sa iyo na alalahanin mo ako, at idinadalangin ko sa iyong palakasin mo ako, na minsan na lamang, Oh Dios, upang maiganti kong paminsan sa mga Filisteo ang aking dalawang mata.
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.
At si Samson ay pumigil sa dalawang gitnang haligi na pumipigil ng bahay, at isinuhay sa mga yaon, ang isa sa kaniyang kanang kamay, at ang isa'y sa kaniyang kaliwa.
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.
At sinabi ni Samson, Mamatay nawa akong kasama ng mga Filisteo, At iniubos niya ang kaniyang buong lakas; at ang bahay ay bumagsak sa mga pangulo, at sa buong bayan na nandoon sa loob. Sa gayo'y ang nangamatay na kaniyang pinatay sa kaniyang kamatayan ay higit kay sa pinatay niya sa kaniyang kabuhayan.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y lumusong ang kaniyang mga kapatid at ang buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama, at kinuha siya, at iniahon siya, at inilibing siya sa pagitan ng Sora at Esthaol sa libingan ni Manoa na kaniyang ama. At siya'y naghukom sa Israel na dalawang pung taon.
