Judges 16
1 And Samson went from there to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her.
サムソン、ガザに往きかしこにて一人の妓を見てそれの處に入りしに
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."
サムソンここに來れりとガザ人につぐるものありければすなはち之を取り圍みよもすがら邑の門に埋伏し詰朝におよび夜の明たる時に之をころすべしといひてよもすがら靜まりかへりて居る
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.
サムソン夜半までいね夜半にいたりて興き邑の門の扉とふたつの柱に手をかけて楗もろともに之をひきぬき肩に載てヘブロンの向ひなる山の巓に負のぼれり
4 It came to pass afterward, that he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
こののちサムソン、ソレクの谷に居る名はデリラと言ふ婦人を愛す
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."
ペリシテ人の群伯その婦のもとに上り來て之にいひけるは汝サムソンを説すすめてその大いなる力は何に在るかまたわれら如何にせば之に勝て之を縛りくるしむるを得べきかを見出せ然すればわれらおのおの銀千百枚づつをなんぢに與ふべし
6 Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound and subdued."
ここにおいてデリラ、サムソンにいひけるは汝の大なる力は何にあるかまた如何せば汝を縛りて苦むることを得るや請ふ之をわれにつげよ
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."
サムソン之にいひけるは人もし乾きしことなき七條の新しき繩をもてわれを縛るときはわれ弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
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.
ここに於てペリシテ人の群伯乾きしことなき七條の新しき繩を婦にもち來りければ婦之を以てサムソンをしばりしが
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.
かねて室のうちに人しのび居て己とともにありたれば斯してサムソンにむかひサムソンよペリシテ人汝に及ぶと言にサムソンすなはちその索を絶りあたかも麻絲の火にあひて斷るるがごとし斯其の力の原由知れざりき
10 Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound."
デリラ、サムソンにいひけるは視よ汝われを欺きてわれに謊を告たり請ふ何をもてせば汝を縛ることをうるや今我に告よ
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."
彼之にいひけるはもし人用ひたることなき新しき索をもてわれを縛りいましめなばわれ弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
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.
是をもてデリラあたらしき索をとり其をもて彼を縛りしかして彼にいふサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶと時に室のうちに人しのび居たりしがサムソン絲の如くにその索を腕より絶おとせり
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."
デリラ、サムソンにいひけるに今までは汝われを欺きて我に謊をつげたるが何をもてせば汝をしばることをうるやわれに告よと彼之にいひけるは汝もしわが髮毛七繚を機の緯線とともに織ばすなはち可しと
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.
婦すなはち釘をもて之をとめおきて彼にいひけるはサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶとサムソンすなはちその寢をさまし織機の釘と緯線とを曳拔り
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."
婦ここにおいてサムソンにいひけるは汝の心われに居ざるに汝いかでわれを愛すといふや汝すでに三次われをあざむきて汝が大なる力の何にあるかをわれに告ずと
16 It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.
日々にその言をもて之にせまりうながして彼の心を死るばかりに苦ませたれば
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."
彼つひにその心をことごとく打明して之にいひけるはわが頭にはいまだかつて剃刀を當しことあらずそはわれ母の胎を出るよりして神のナザレ人たればなりもしわれ髮をそりおとされなばわが力われをはなれわれは弱くなりて別の人のごとくならんと
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.
デリラ、サムソンがことごとく其のこころを明したるを見人をつかはしてペリシテ人の群伯を召ていひけるはサムソンことごとくその心をわれに明したれば今ひとたび上り來るべしとここにおいてペリシテ人の群伯かの銀を携へて婦のもとにいたる
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.
婦おのが膝のうへにサムソンをねむらせ人をよびてその頭髮七繚をきりおとさしめ之を苦めはじめたるにその力すでにうせさりてあり
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 YHWH had departed from him.
婦ここにおいてサムソンよペリシテ人汝におよぶといひければ彼睡眠をさましていひけるはわれ毎のごとく出て身を振はさんと彼はヱホバのおのれをはなれたまひしを覺らざりき
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.
ペリシテ人すなはち彼を執へ眼を抉りて之をガザにひき下り銅の鏈をもて之を繋げりかくてサムソンは囚獄のうちに磨を挽居たりしが
22 However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
その髮の毛剃りおとされてのち復長はじめたり
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."
茲にペリシテ人の群伯共にあつまりてその神ダゴンに大なる祭物をささげて祝をなさんとしすなはち言ふわれらの神はわれらの敵サムソンをわれらの手に付したりと
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."
民サムソンを見ておのれの神をほめたたへて言ふわれらの神はわれらの敵たる者われらの地を荒せしものわれらを數多殺せしものをわれらの手に付したりと
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;
その心に喜びていひけるはサムソンを召てわれらのために戲技をなさしめよとて囚獄よりサムソンを召いだせしかばサムソン之がために戲技をなせり彼等サムソンを柱の間に立しめしに
26 and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, "Allow me to feel the pillars whereupon the house rests, that I may lean on them." And the boy did so.
サムソンおのが手をひきをる少者にいひけるはわれをはなして此家の倚て立ところの柱をさぐりて之に倚しめよと
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.
その家には男女充ちペリシテ人の群伯もまたみな其處に居る又屋蓋のうへには三千ばかりの男女をりてサムソンの戲技をなすを觀てありき
28 Samson called to YHWH, and said, "Lord YHWH, 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."
時にサムソン、ヱホバに呼はりいひけるはああ主ヱホバよねがはくは我を記念えたまへ嗚呼神よ願くは唯今一度われを強くしてわがふたつの眼のひとつのためにだにもペリシテ人に仇をむくいしめたまへと
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.
サムソンすなはちその家の倚てたつところの兩箇の中柱のひとつを右の手ひとつを左の手にかかへて身をこれによせたりしが
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.
サムソン我はペリシテ人とともに死なんといひて力をきはめて身をかがめたれば家はそのなかに居る群伯とすべての民のうへに倒れたりかくサムソンが死るときに殺せしものは生けるときに殺せし者よりもおほかりき
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.
こののちサムソンの兄弟およびその父の家族ことごとく下りて之を取り携へのぼりてゾラとエシタオルのあひだなる其の父マノアの墓にはうむれりサムソンがイスラエルをさばきしは二十年なりき
