Judges 16
1 Then went Samson unto Gaza, —and saw there an unchaste woman, and went in unto her.
Samson teh Gaza vah a cei. Hawvah kâyawt e napui a hmu teh a ikhai.
2 And it was told the Gazites, saying—Samson hath come in hither. So they came round, and lay in wait for him, all the night, in the gate of the city, —but kept themselves quiet all the night, saying, Until the light of the morning, then will we slay him.
Hahoi, Samson hi a tho tie hah Gazanaw koe a dei pouh awh. Hatteh king a kalup awh. Khopui kâennae longkha totouh a kâyat awh teh, karum tuettuet khodai totouh a pawp awh. Khodai toteh, thei han telah ati awh.
3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and of the two doorposts, and tare them away, with the bar, and put them on his shoulders, —and carried them up to the top of the hill that faceth Hebron.
Samson teh karumsaning totouh a i teh, hahoi karumsaning a thaw teh, khopui kalupnae longkha hoi a khom kahni touh a kuet teh, tarennae khuehoi a phawk teh, a loung hoi a hrawm teh, Hebron mon dawk a tâkhawng.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that he loved a woman in the ravine of Shorek, whose, name, was Delilah.
Hahoi, Sorek yawn e napui buet touh hah a ngai. A min teh Delilah doeh.
5 So the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said to her—Entice him, and see wherein lieth his great strength, and wherewith we may prevail against him, and bind him, to humble him, —and, we, will give thee, every man, eleven hundred pieces of silver.
Filistin bawinaw hah ahni koe a tho awh teh, ahni hah king katek vaiteh rektap thai nahan, a thaonae kungpui panue thai nahanlah pasawt haw, telah na panuek pawiteh, kaimouh ni tangka 1,100 touh rip na poe awh han atipouh awh.
6 So Delilah said unto Samson, Do tell me, I pray thee, wherein lieth thy great strength, —and wherewith thou mightest be bound, to humble thee.
Hahoi teh, Delilah ni Samson koevah, hettelah e na thaonae hah na dei pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, katek vaiteh rektap thai nahanelah atipouh.
7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green cords, that have not been dried, then shall I become weak, and be as any other man.
Samson ni, napui koevah, rui kahring ni teh ka ke hoeh rae yung sari touh hoi king na katek awh pawiteh, ka tha awm hoeh vaiteh, ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe atipouh.
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords, that had not been dried, —and she bound him therewith.
Hahoi, Filistin bawinaw ni rui kahring e sari touh a sin awh teh, a katek awh.
9 Now, the liers in wait, were tarrying for her, in an inner chamber, —and she said unto him, —The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! And he snapped the cords as a thread of tow is broken, when fire bloweth thereon, so his strength was not discovered.
Im e khan dawk arulahoi kapawmnaw a tâco awh teh, Samson koevah, Samson Filistinnaw ni na cusin toe atipouh. Ahni ni hote ruinaw hah hmai hoi sawi teh doukkâlat e rui patetlah ruinaw hah a tapo. Hatei, ahnie thaonae hah panuek awh hoeh.
10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Lo! thou hast been laughing at me, and speaking unto me falsehoods, —Now, do tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
Delilah ni, Samson koevah, khenhaw! na dumyen teh, laithoe na dei. Bangtelah hoi maw na katek thai han dei leih atipouh.
11 And he said unto her, If they, bind me fast, with new ropes, wherewith work was never done, then shall I become weak, and be as any other man.
Ahni ni, napui koevah, hno boihoeh rae tangron katha hoiyah, king na katek pawiteh, ka tha awm hoeh vaiteh, ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe atipouh.
12 So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him—The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! Now, the liers in wait, were tarrying in an inner chamber. And he snapped them off his arms like a thread.
Hahoi Delilah ni tangron katha e a la teh, a katek hnukkhu, Samson Filistinnaw ni na cusin toe atipouh. Imrakhan koehoi arulahoi kapawmnaw ao. Hahoi a kut kateknae hah pahlarui tapo e patetlah soum a tapo.
13 And Delilah said unto Samson—Hitherto, hast thou been laughing at me, and speaking unto me falsehoods, do tell me, wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weave the seven braids of my head with the warp.
Delilah ni Samson koevah, laithoe doeh na dei rah. Bang patetlah hoi maw na katek han tie hah na dei pouh haw atipouh. Hat toteh, Samson ni ka sam sari touh kapek nateh, hni hoi mak na kawng sin vaiteh, tapang dawk khak hetsin pawiteh, ka thayoun vaiteh, ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe atipouh.
14 So she beat them up with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! And he awaked out of his sleep, and pulled out the pin of the loom, and the warp.
Delilah ni a sam sari touh lah a kapek pouh teh, hni dawk mak a kawngsin teh, tapang dawk khak hetsin. Samson Filistinnaw nang ka tuk hane a tho awh toe atipouh. A hnikawng e naw khuehoi a thaw teh a cei.
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 laughed at me, and hast not told me wherein lieth thy great strength.
Delilah ni nang ni kai lungpataw katang laipalah, bangtelamaw khuet na dei han vaw. Khenhaw! vai thum touh na dum toe. Na thaonae teh na dei hoeh rah.
16 And it came to pass, when she urged him with her words continually, and pressed him, that his soul became impatient, unto death;
Hot patetlah Delilah ni hnintangkuem a lung ka rek lah a dei pouh. Due han totouh a lung a ro sak.
17 so he told her all his heart, and said to her—No, razor, hath come on my head, for, one separate unto God, have I been, from my birth, —if I were shaven, then would depart from me my strength, and I should become weak, and be as any other man.
Hahoi teh, Samson ni a lungthin abuemlah hoi he a dei pouh. Kaie ka sam teh ka ngaw boihoeh. Anu e von thung ka o nah hoi, Cathut e Nazirite tami lah ka o. Atuvah ka lû ka ngaw pawiteh, ka thaonae buemlah he a kahma han. Ka tha awm mahoeh toe. Ayânaw patetlah doeh kaawm titoe telah atipouh.
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. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought up the silver in their hand.
A lungthin thung e abuemlahoi a dei toe tie hah Delilah ni a panue. Filistin bawinaw teh bout tho awh leih, a lungthin abuemlahoi a dei toe telah lawk a thui khai. Hahoi Filistin a lungkahanaw teh a tho awh teh, tangka a sin awh.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called for a man, and caused him to shave off the seven braids of his head, —and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from him.
Delilah ni, Samson teh a phai dawk a i sak. Tami buet touh a kaw teh, a sam he a ngaw sak. Rektap hanlah a noe awh toe. A thaonae hai a kahma pouh toe.
20 And she said—The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and said—I will go out now, as time after time, and shake myself free: he, not knowing, that, Yahweh, had departed from him.
Samson Filistinnaw ni na cusin toe atipouh. Hahoi a inae koehoi a thaw teh, ahmoun e patetlah ka tâco han bout ka hlout han doeh ati. Hatei, BAWIPA ni na ceitakhai toe tie panuek hoeh.
21 And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, —and took him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of bronze, and it came to pass that he used to grind in the prison.
Filistinnaw ni a man teh, a mitmu a cawngkhawi pouh awh. Gaza kho a ceikhai awh teh, Rahum bawtarui hoi khakpâkhi awh. Thongim thung vah cakang a phawm sak awh.
22 And the hair of his head began to grow, after he had been shaven.
Samson a lûngaw hnukkhu hoi a sam bout a sai.
23 Now, the lords of the Philistines, had 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.
Filistinnaw ni amamae cathut dagon koevah, kalen e thuengnae sak hane hoi nawmnae sak hanelah a kamkhuengkhai awh. Mamae cathut ni taran Samson teh maimae kut dawk na poe awh toe telah ati awh.
24 And, when the people saw him, they praised their god, —for they said—Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, even him who laid waste our land, and who multiplied our slain.
Tami moikapap ni a hmu navah, cathut a pholen awh. Maimae cathut ni taran teh kut dawk na poe awh toe. Ram karaphoekung, tami moi kathetkung teh maimae kut dawk na poe toe ati awh.
25 And it came to pass, when their heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. So they called for Samson out of the prison, and he made sport before them, and they stationed him between the pillars.
A lunghawikhai awh lahun nah, Samson hah paitun nahanelah, kaw awh ati awh. Hahoi Samson teh thongim thung hoi a tâcokhai awh teh, hmalah panuikhai hanlah, a ta awh. Khom hoi khom rahak a kangduesak awh.
26 And Samson said unto the youth that held him by his hand, Place me where I may feel the pillars whereon the house resteth, that I may lean upon them.
Hahoi, Samson ni, kut dawk hoi ka hrawi e camo koe, hete im a kangduenae khom na tek sak haw, ka kamngawi haw nei atipouh.
27 Now, the house, was full of men and women, there, also were all the lords of the Philistines, —and, on the roof, were about three thousand men and women, looking on while Samson made sport.
Hote im dawk napui tongpa yikkawi awh. Filistin bawinaw pueng hai hawvah king a kawi awh. Samson panuikhai hanlah, kakhennaw napui tongpa hoi 3, 000 tabang a pha awh.
28 So then Samson cried unto Yahweh, and said, —My Lord Yahweh! remember me, I pray thee, —and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be avenged, with one avenging, for my two eyes, upon the Philistines.
Samson ni BAWIPA hah a kaw teh, Oe Bawipa Jehovah pahren lahoi na pahnim hanh lah a. Pahren lahoi atu vai touh dueng ma thaonae bout na poe haw. Oe Cathut, ka mit kahni touh e phu lah Filistinnaw koe na patho sak haw atipouh.
29 Then did Samson grasp the two middle pillars, whereon the house rested, and whereon it was upheld, and he braced himself against them, —the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
Hahoi, Samson ni bawkim lungui vah a dounnae khompui kahni touh hah, aranglae kut hoi buet touh, avoilah e kut hoi buet touh, ama cawt kamngawi laihoi a kuet.
30 And Samson said—Let my soul die with the Philistines! And he bowed mightily, 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 they whom he slew in his life.
Samson ni Filistinnaw hoi mek na dout sak lawih atipouh. Hahoi, a tha a kâla teh, bawinaw hoi a thung e kaawm taminaw pueng bawkim pui ni koung a ten awh. A hring nah a thei e hlak a duekhai e hah a paphnawn.
31 Then came down his brethren, and all the house of his father, and lifted him, and carried him up, and buried him, between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the buryingplace of Manoah his father, —he, having judged Israel twenty years.
Hahoi teh, a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a imthungkhu abuemlah a tho awh teh, a takhangkhai awh. Zorah hoi Eshtaol rahak a na pa Manoah pakawpnae hmuen koe a pakawp awh. Hottelah kum 20 touh thung Isarelnaw hah a uk.
