Judges 16
1 And Samson goes to Gaza, and sees a woman there, a harlot, and goes in to her;
Otu ụbọchị, Samsin gara nʼotu obodo ndị Filistia a na-akpọ Gaza, soro otu nwanyị akwụna bi nʼebe ahụ hie ụra abalị.
2 [it is told] to the Gazathites, saying, “Samson has come in here”; and they go around and lay wait for him all the night at the gate of the city, and keep themselves silent all the night, saying, “Until the morning light—then we have slain him.”
A gwara ndị Gaza sị, “Samsin nọ nʼobodo a.” Nʼihi ya, ha gbara ebe ahụ gburugburu ma nọdụ na-eche nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ abalị niile. Ọ dịghị ihe ha mere nʼabalị ahụ nʼihi na ha zubere sị, “Mgbe chi bọrọ, anyị ga-egbu ya.”
3 And Samson lies down until the middle of the night, and rises in the middle of the night, and lays hold on the doors of the gate of the city, and on the two side-posts, and removes them with the bar, and puts [them] on his shoulders, and takes them up to the top of the hill, which [is] on the front of Hebron.
Ma Samsin dinara nʼụlọ nwanyị akwụna ahụ ruo nʼetiti abalị ahụ. Mgbe ọ pụtara, ọ gara ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ, foro ibo ọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ, ya na ibo ya abụọ, bukwasị ya nʼubu ya, buru ha gaa nʼelu ugwu chere obodo Hebrọn ihu.
4 And it comes to pass afterward that he loves a woman in the Valley of Sorek, and her name [is] Delilah,
Ọ dịghị anya, Samsin hụrụ otu nwaagbọghọ, onye ọ hụrụ nʼanya. Aha nwaagbọghọ a bụ Delaịla, onye si nʼobodo dị na Ndagwurugwu Sorek.
5 and the princes of the Philistines come up to her, and say to her, “Entice him, and see wherein his great power [is], and wherein we are able for him—and we have bound him to afflict him, and each one of us gives eleven hundred pieces of silver to you.”
Ndị eze ndị Filistia, bịakwutere Delaịla rịọọ ya sị, “Gbalịa lee ma ị ga-enwe ike chọpụta ebe ike Samsin si abịa, ka anyị nwee ike ịmata ụzọ anyị ga-esi jide ya, kee ya agbụ. Ọ bụrụ na i meere anyị nke a, anyị na-ekwe nkwa na onye ọbụla nʼime anyị ga-enye gị puku shekel na narị shekel ọlaọcha.”
6 And Delilah says to Samson, “Please declare to me wherein your great power [is], and with what you are bound, to afflict you.”
Nʼihi nke a, Delaịla gwara Samsin okwu sị ya, “Gwa m ebe ike gị si abịa. Gwakwa m otu mmadụ pụrụ isi kee gị agbụ, merie gị.”
7 And Samson says to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords which have not been dried, then I have been weak, and have been as one of mankind.”
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ e jiri akwara eriri asaa dị ọhụrụ, ndị a na-amịkpọghị amịkpọ kee m, m ga-abụkwa onye na-adịghị ike dịka mmadụ ọbụla ọzọ.”
8 And the princes of the Philistines bring up to her seven green cords which have not been dried, and she binds him with them.
Ngwangwa, ndịisi ndị Filistia wetara ya eriri asaa dị ọhụrụ ndị a na-amịbeghị nʼanwụ, o weere ha kee Samsin.
9 And the ambush is abiding with her in an inner chamber, and she says to him, “Philistines [are] on you, Samson!” And he breaks the cords as a thread of tow is broken in its touching fire, and his power has not been known.
Ma o mere ka ụfọdụ ndị ikom Filistia zoo onwe ha nʼotu akụkụ ụlọ ya. O tiri mkpu sị, “Samsin, lee, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị!” Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, Samsin biliri dọbisie eriri ahụ dịka ọ bụ eriri e ji ogho mee nke bịara ọkụ nso. Ya mere, a chọpụtaghị ebe ike Samsin si abịa.
10 And Delilah says to Samson, “Behold, you have played on me, and speak lies to me; now, please declare to me with what you are bound.”
Emesịa, Delaịla gwara Samsin sị ya, “Lee, ị kwaala m emo, ghaara m ụgha. Biko, gwa m ụzọ a ga-esi kee gị agbụ.”
11 And he says to her, “If they certainly bind me with thick bands, new ones, by which work has not been done, then I have been weak, and have been as one of mankind.”
Samsin zara sị ya, “Lee, ọ bụrụ na e jiri ụdọ ọhụrụ nke a na-ejibeghị kee ihe mgbe ọbụla, kee m, aga m adịkwa dịka ndị ọzọ.”
12 And Delilah takes thick bands, new ones, and binds him with them, and says to him, “Philistines [are] on you, Samson!” And the ambush is abiding in an inner chamber, and he breaks them from off his arms as a thread.
Ya mere, Delaịla chịkọtara ụdọ ọhụrụ jiri ya kee ya nke ọma. Ma ụfọdụ ndị ikom Filistia zokwara onwe ha nʼime ime ụlọ ahụ. Ọzọkwa, Delaịla tiri mkpu sị, “Samsin, lee, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị.” Ma Samsin biliri dọbisie eriri ahụ e ji kee ya ka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ogho ka e ji mee ha.
13 And Delilah says to Samson, “Until now you have played on me, and speak lies to me; declare to me with what you are bound.” And he says to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.”
Mgbe ahụ, Delaịla gwara ya sị, “Lee, ị na-eme ka abụ m onye nzuzu, ghaara m ụgha. Gwa m eziokwu, otu a ga-esi kee gị agbụ.” Samsin zara sị ya, “Lee, e kewara agịrị isi dị m nʼisi ụzọ asaa, i were ụzọ nkekọta asaa e kekọtara agịrị isi m, kpanyekọtaa ha nʼihe i ji ekwe akwa, were ntu osisi i ji akpachi akwa kpachie ya, mgbe ahụ, aga m adịkwa ka ndị ọzọ.” Mgbe Samsin rahụrụ ụra, Delaịla weere agịrị isi Samsin kpanyekọtaa ya nʼihe o ji ekwe akwa.
14 And she fixes [it] with the pin and says to him, “Philistines [are] on you, Samson!” And he awakens out of his sleep, and pulls out the pin of the loom, and with the web.
O jikwa ǹtu osisi o ji akpachi akwa, kpachikọtasie agịrị isi Samsin ike. Ọzọ, Delaịla sịrị ya, “Samsin, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị.” Ma Samsin bilitere nʼike fokọrọ ǹtu osisi ahụ, na ihe eji akpa akwa, na akwa akpara akpa.
15 And she says to him, “How do you say, I have loved you, and your heart is not with me? These three times you have played on me, and have not declared to me wherein your great power [is].”
Mgbe ahụ, Delaịla gwara ya okwu sị, “Olee ka i si kwuo na ị hụrụ m nʼanya, ebe ọ bụ na i nweghị ike ịgwa m ihe dị gị nʼobi? Lee, ugbo atọ ndị a, i mere m ka m dịka onye nzuzu, ma ị gwabeghị m ebe ike gị dị ruo ugbu a.”
16 And it comes to pass, because she distressed him with her words all the days, and urges him, and his soul is grieved to death,
Delaịla sikwara otu a nyegide Samsin nsogbu tutu ruo mgbe Samsin na-enweghịkwa ike ịnagide nsogbu ya.
17 that he declares all his heart to her, and says to her, “A razor has not gone up on my head, for I [am] a Nazarite to God from the womb of my mother; if I have been shaven, then my power has turned aside from me, and I have been weak, and have been as all of mankind.”
Ya mere, ọ gwara ya ihe niile, “Ọ dịbeghị mgbe agụba ọbụla gara nʼelu isi m, nʼihi na abụ m onye Nazirait, onye e doro nsọ nye Chineke ka m bụ, site nʼafọ nne m. Ọ bụrụkwa na a kpụchapụ agịrị isi m, mgbe ahụ, ike niile dị m nʼahụ ga-apụ. Mgbe ahụ, aga m adịkwa ka ndị ọzọ.”
18 And Delilah sees that he has declared all his heart to her, and she sends and calls for the princes of the Philistines, saying, “Come up this time, for he has declared all his heart to me”; and the princes of the Philistines have come up to her, and bring up the money in their hand.
Mgbe Delaịla matara na ọ gwala ya ihe niile, o ziri ozi kpọọ ndịisi ndị Filistia ahụ, sị, “Bịaghachinụ otu ugbu a, nʼihi na ọ gwara m ihe niile.” Ya mere, ndịisi ndị Filistia lọghachiri jiri ego ọlaedo ahụ nʼaka ha.
19 And she makes him sleep on her knees, and calls for a man, and shaves the seven locks of his head, and begins to afflict him, and his power turns aside from off him;
Ma Delaịla mere ka o dinaa nʼapata ụkwụ ya rahụ ụra. Mgbe ahụ, ọ kpọbatara nwoke na-akpụcha isi, ka ọ kpụchapụ agịrị isi niile dị Samsin nʼisi, si otu a mee ka ike ghara ịdịkwa ya. Ike ya hapụrụ ya.
20 and she says, “Philistines [are] on you, Samson!” And he awakens out of his sleep and says, “I go out as time by time, and shake free”; but he has not known that YHWH has turned aside from off him.
O tiri mkpu sị, “Samsin, lee, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị.” Ma mgbe Samsin bilitere site nʼụra, o chere nʼobi ya, “Aga m apụ ka m si mee na mbụ megharịa arụ ma nwere onwe m.” Ma ọ maghị na Onyenwe anyị ahapụla ya.
21 And the Philistines seize him, and pick out his eyes, and bring him down to Gaza, and bind him with two bronze chains; and he is grinding in the prison-house.
Ndị Filistia jidere ya, ghụpụ ya anya ya abụọ, duru ya gbadata Gaza. Nʼebe ahụ, ha jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, nye ya ọrụ ịnyagharị igwe na-akwọ ọka nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ha tinyere ya.
22 And the hair of his head begins to shoot up when he has been shaven,
Mgbe na-adịghị anya, agịrị isi ya malitekwara ito ọzọ.
23 and the princes of the Philistines have been gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to rejoice; and they say, “Our god has given our enemy Samson into our hand.”
Ugbu a, ndịisi ndị Filistia niile zukọtara ịchụrụ chi ha bụ Dagọn, aja dị ukwuu, na ịṅụrị ọṅụ, na-asị, “Chi anyị enyela Samsin bụ onye iro anyị nʼaka anyị.”
24 And the people see him, and praise their god, for they said, “Our god has given into our hand our enemy, and he who is laying waste to our land, and who multiplied our wounded.”
Mgbe ndị mmadụ hụrụ ya, ha toro chi ha sị, “Chi anyị enyela onye iro anyị nʼaka anyị, onye mere ka ala anyị tọgbọrọ nʼefu gbukwaa ọtụtụ ndị anyị.”
25 And it comes to pass, when their heart [is] glad, that they say, “Call for Samson, and he entertains for us”; and they call for Samson out of the prison-house, and he entertains their faces, and they cause him to stand between the pillars.
Mgbe ha ka nọ nʼobi ụtọ, ha tiri mkpu sị, “Dupụtara anyị Samsin, ka o kpaa anyị ọchị.” Ya mere, e dupụtara Samsin site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ka o meere ha ihe egwuregwu. Ha mere ka o guzo nʼetiti ebe ogidi e ji wuo ụlọ ahụ dị.
26 And Samson says to the young man who is keeping hold on his hand, “Let me also feel the pillars on which the house is established, and I lean on them.”
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin sịrị onye na-eji ya nʼaka sị, “Debe m nʼebe m ga-emetụ ogidi ndị ụlọ a na-eguzo na ha aka, ka m nwe ike dabere na ha.”
27 And the house has been full of the men and the women, and all the princes of the Philistines [are] there, and about three thousand men and women [are] on the roof, who are watching Samson entertain.
Nʼoge a, mmadụ ejupụtala nʼime ụlọ ahụ, nwoke na nwanyị; ndịisi ọchịchị ndị Filistia nọkwa nʼebe ahụ. Ndị ọzọ ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru puku atọ, nwoke na nwanyị, nọ nʼelu ụlọ ahụ na-ele Samsin, ebe ọ na-emere ha ihe ọchị.
28 And Samson calls to YHWH and says, “Lord YHWH, please remember me and please strengthen me only this time, O God; and I am avenged—vengeance at once—because of my two eyes, on the Philistines.”
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ sị, “O! Onyenwe m Onyenwe anyị, biko cheta m naanị otu ugbu a. Biko, Chineke, nye m ike nʼotu ohere a m nwere, ka m nwee ike ịbọrọ ọbọ nʼahụ ndị Filistia nʼihi, ọ bụladị, mkpụrụ anya m abụọ.”
29 And Samson turns aside [to] the two middle pillars, on which the house is established, and on which it is supported, [to] one with his right hand and one with his left;
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin jidesiri ogidi abụọ dị nʼetiti ụlọ ahụ aka ike, aka nri ya nʼotu, aka ekpe ya na nke ọzọ.
30 and Samson says, “Let me die with the Philistines,” and he inclines himself powerfully, and the house falls on the princes, and on all the people who [are] in it, and the dead whom he has put to death in his death are more than those whom he put to death in his life.
Samsin kpere ekpere sị, “Ka m soro ndị Filistia nwụọ!” O ji ike ya niile nuo ogidi ahụ aka. Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, ụlọ arụsị ahụ dara, dakwasị ndịisi ọchịchị Filistia ndị ahụ, na ndị niile nọ nʼime ụlọ ahụ. Ya mere, ndị niile so Samsin nwụọ nʼoge ahụ dị ọtụtụ karịa ndị Samsin gburu mgbe ọ dị ndụ.
31 And his brothers come down, and all the house of his father, and lift him up, and bring him up, and bury him between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of his father Manoah; and he has judged Israel [for] twenty years.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ụmụnna ndị ikom Samsin, na ndị ezinaụlọ nna ya bịara nʼebe ahụ, buru ozu ya. Ha liri ya nʼagbata Zora na Eshtaol, ebe e liri nna ya Manoa. Samsin kpere ụmụ Izrel ikpe iri afọ abụọ.
