Judges 16
1 And Samson went from there to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her.
Potem je Samson odšel v Gazo in tam videl pocestnico in šel noter k njej.
2 And it was reported to the Gazites, saying, "Samson is here." They surrounded him, and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all night, saying, "Wait until morning light, then we will 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 Now Samson rested until midnight, but got up at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is overlooking Hebron, and set them down there.
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 It came to pass afterward, that he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Potem se je pripetilo, da je ljubil žensko v dolini Sorék, ki ji je bilo ime Dalíla.
5 The lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, "Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you 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 Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound and subdued."
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 Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
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 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not 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 Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." He broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
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 Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might 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 He said to her, "If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
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 So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them 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 Delilah said to Samson, "Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me how you might be bound." He said to her, "If you weave the seven braids on my head with the fabric and fasten them with the pin, then I will be weak as another man."
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 So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids on his head, and wove them with the fabric, and she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." And he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin of the loom and the fabric.
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 She said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies."
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 It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.
Ko ga je dnevno pritiskala s svojimi besedami in ga silila, tako da je bila njegova duša vznemirjena do smrti, se je pripetilo,
17 He told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I will become weak, and be like any other man."
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 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 has told me all his heart." Then the lords of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
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 She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and he began to weaken, and his strength went 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 She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." He awoke out of his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." But he didn't know 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 The Philistines seized him, and gouged out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze shackles, and he ground at the mill in the prison.
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 However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Vendar so potem, ko je bil ostrižen, lasje njegove glave začeli ponovno rasti.
23 The lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to celebrate; for they said, "Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
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 When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand."
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 happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may entertain us." So they called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. And they were striking him. And they set 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 to the boy who held him by the hand, "Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them." And the boy did so.
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 all the lords of the Philistines were there. And there were on the roof about three thousand men and women watching while Samson performed.
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 Samson called to the LORD, and said, "Lord GOD, please remember me, and please strengthen me only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."
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 Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and 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 Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed 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 his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial site of Manoah his father. He 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.
