Judges 16
1 And Samson went from there to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her.
Alò, Samson te desann Gaza, e li te wè yon pwostitiye. Li te antre nan li.
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."
Lè sa li te pale pami moun Gaza yo: “Samson vin isit la!” Yo te antoure kote a e yo te kache tann li tout lannwit vè pòtay lavil la. Yo te rete an silans tout nwit lan e yo te di: “Annou tann jis li fè klè maten e nou va touye li.”
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.
Alò, Samson te kouche jis minwi e a minwi, li te leve pran pòtay lavil yo avèk de poto yo. Li te rale fè yo monte, ansanm avèk ba travès pa yo. Epi li te mete yo sou zepòl li, e li te pote yo monte pou rive anwo tèt mòn ki anfas Hébron an.
4 It came to pass afterward, that he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Apre sa, li te vin rive ke li te renmen yon fanm nan vale Sorek la, ke yo te rele Delila.
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."
Prens Filisten yo te ale kote li e te di fanm nan: “Mennen li ak dousè e twouve kote gran fòs li a sòti, e kijan nou kapab vin genyen l pou nou kapab mare li pou aflije li. Epi nou chak va ba ou onz-san pyès ajan.”
6 Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound and subdued."
Konsa, Delila te di a Samson: “Souple, pale m kote gran fòs ou a ye ak kijan ou kapab vin mare pou ou ta aflije.”
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 te di li: “Si yo mare m avèk sèt kòd nèf ki poko sèch; alò, mwen va devni fèb e mwen va vin tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Epi prens Filisten yo te mennen ba li sèt kòd nèf ki potko sèch e li te mare li avèk yo.
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.
Alò, te gen moun ki te kache ap tann nan chanm anndan an. Epi li te di li: “Men Filisten yo rive sou ou, Samson!” Konsa li te pete kòd yo tankou fisèl pit chire lè l touche dife. Konsa, fòs li a pa t revele.
10 Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound."
Epi Delila te di a Samson: “Gade byen, se twonpe ou twonpe m, ou ban m yon bann manti; alò, koulye a, souple, di m kijan ou kab mare.”
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."
Li te di li: “Si yo mare m byen di ak kòd nèf ki pa t janm sèvi; alò, mwen va devni fèb tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Konsa, Delila te pran kòd nèf e li te mare li avèk yo e te di li: “Men Filisten yo sou ou, Samson!” Paske gason yo t ap tann nan chanm anndan an. Men li te pete kòd yo nan bra li tankou fisèl pou koud.
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."
Epi Delila te di a Samson: “Jis koulye a, ou te twonpe m e ban m bann manti; di mwen kijan ou kapab mare.” Epi li te di li: “Si ou trese sèt très cheve m nan ansanm très la, epi tache l avèk gwo epeng tout très la, m ap vin fèb tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Konsa, pandan li t ap dòmi, Delila te pran sèt très a cheve li yo, li te trese yo nan ansanm très la. Li te tache li avèk epeng lan, e li te di li: “Men Filisten yo sou ou, Samson!” Men li te leve nan dòmi li, li te rale fè epeng lan sòti nan ansanm très la e li te rale cheve l nan griyaj très la.
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."
Alò li te di li: “Kijan ou kapab di, ‘Mwen renmen ou,’ lè kè ou pa avè m? Ou te twonpe m twa fwa sila yo e pa t di mwen kote gran fòs ou a ye.”
16 It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te toumante li chak jou avèk pawòl li yo e te bourade li, ke nanm li te vin twouble jiska lanmò.
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."
Konsa, li te fè l konnen tout sa ki te nan kè li e li te di li: “Yon razwa pa t janm vini nan tèt mwen; paske mwen se te yon Nazareyen a Bondye soti nan vant manman m. Si cheve m vin taye; alò, fòs mwen an va kite mwen e mwen va devni tankou nenpòt lòt gason.”
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.
Lè Delila te wè ke li te di li tout sa ki te nan kè li, li te rele prens a Filisten yo e li te di yo: “Vini yon fwa ankò; paske li fin di mwen tout sa ki te nan kè li.” Epi prens a Filisten yo te vin kote li, e yo te pote lajan pou li a nan men yo.
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.
Li te fè li dòmi sou jenou li, li te rele yon mesye pou te fè l pase razwa retire tout sèt très cheve li yo. Alò, li te kòmanse aflije li e fòs li a te vin kite l.
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.
Li te di: “Men Filisten yo sou ou, Samson!” Li te leve soti nan dòmi li, e te di: “Mwen va sòti tankou lòt fwa yo e souke kò m pou m vin lib.” Men li pa t konnen ke SENYÈ a te gen tan kite li.
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.
Alò, Filisten yo te sezi li. Yo te kreve rete zye li, epi yo te mennen li Gaza. Yo te mare l avèk chenn fèt an bwonz ki te konn vire moulen nan prizon an.
22 However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Men cheve tèt li t ap grandi ankò lè l te fin koupe yo.
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."
Alò, prens Filisten yo te rasanble pou ofri yon gran sakrifis a Dagon, dye pa yo a e pou rejwi yo, paske yo te di: “Se dye pa nou an ki livre Samson, lènmi nou an, nan men nou.”
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."
Lè pèp la te wè li, yo te fè lwanj a dye pa yo a, paske yo te di: “Se dye pa nou an ki te livre lènmi nou an, nan men nou, menm destriktè a peyi nou an, ki te touye anpil nan nou.”
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;
Li te vin rive ke pandan yo te ranpli avèk kè kontan, ke yo te di: “Rele Samson pou l kapab amize nou.” Konsa, yo te rele Samson soti nan prizon an pou li te amize yo. Epi yo te fè l kanpe antre pilye yo.
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.
Alò, Samson te di a gason ki te kenbe men l lan: “Kite mwen manyen pilye kote kay la kanpe yo pou m kab apiye sou yo.”
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.
Alò, kay la te ranpli avèk gason ni fanm e tout prens a Filisten yo te la. Epi anviwon twa-mil gason avèk fanm te anba twati a e yo t ap gade Samson pandan li t ap amize yo.
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."
Konsa, Samson te rele SENYÈ a e te di: “O Senyè BONDYE, souple, sonje mwen, e souple, ranpli fòs mwen pou sèl fwa sa a, O Bondye pou m kapab jwenn vanjans sou Filisten yo pou de zye mwen yo.”
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 te kenbe byen di de pilye mitan yo sou sila kay la te poze yo, li te ranfòse li sou yo, youn avèk men dwat li e youn avèk men goch li.
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.
Epi Samson te di: “Kite mwen mouri avèk Filisten yo!” Epi li te koube avèk tout fòs li jiskaske kay la te vin tonbe sou tout prens yo ak tout moun ki te ladann yo. Konsa, kantite moun ke li te touye lè l te mouri an te plis ke sila ke li te touye pandan tout vi li yo.
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.
Alò, frè li yo avèk tout lakay papa li te desann pran li, mennen li monte e te antere li antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol nan tonm Manoach la, papa li. Konsa, li te jije Israël pandan ventan.
