Judges 16
1 Then went Samson unto Gaza, —and saw there an unchaste woman, and went in unto her.
I haere ano a Hamahona ki Kaha, a ka kitea e ia tetahi wahine kairau i reira, a haere atu ana ki a ia.
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.
A ka korerotia ki nga Kahi, ka meatia, Kua tae mai a Hamahona ki konei. Na ka karapotia ia e ratou, ka whanga hoki ratou ki a ia a pau noa te po i te kuwaha o te pa. Na takoto puku ana ratou a pau noa, taua po; i mea hoki, Waiho kia awatea, ka pa tu ai tatou i a ia.
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.
Heoi takoto ana a Hamahona a turuawaenga po; katahi ia ka whakatika i waenganui po, a ka mau i te tatau o te kuwaha o te pa, ki nga pou hoki e rua: na unuhia ake ana, ana tutaki, ana aha; a hikitia ana ki runga ki ona pokohiwi, amohia ana ki te t ihi o te maunga i te ritenga atu o Heperona.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that he loved a woman in the ravine of Shorek, whose, name, was Delilah.
A, muri iho ka aroha ia ki tetahi wahine i te awaawa o Horeke, ko Terira tona ingoa.
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.
Na ka haere nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini ki taua wahine, ka mea ki a ia, Whakawaia ia kia kitea ai no hea tona kaha nui, a ma te aha ia e taea ai e matou, kia herea ai ia e matou, kia whakaitia: a kotahi mano kotahi rau nga hiriwa e hoatu e ten ei, e tenei o matou ki a koe.
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.
Na ka mea a Terira ki a Hamahona, Tena, whakaaturia mai ki ahau no hea tou kaha nui, ma te aha hoki e taea ai koe te here, kia whakaitia ai koe?
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.
Na ka mea a Hamahona ki a ia, Ki te herea ahau e ratou ki nga aka hou e whitu, kahore nei i whakamaroketia, katahi ahau ka kahakore, ka rite ki tetahi atu tangata.
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords, that had not been dried, —and she bound him therewith.
Na ka maua e nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini etahi aka hou e whitu ki a ia, he mea kahore ano i whakamaroketia; a herea ana ia e ia ki aua mea.
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.
Na tera i taua wahine, i te ruma i roto, etahi tangata e tauwhanga ana. Na ka mea ia ki a ia, E Hamahona, ko nga Pirihitini, ka eke ki a koe! Na motumotuhia ana e ia nga aka: koia ano kei te miro muka e motu ana ina pa ki te ahi. Heoi kihai i moh iotia tona kaha.
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.
Na ka mea a Terira ki a Hamahona, Nana, kua tinihangatia ahau e koe, kua teka koe ki ahau; tena ra, whakaaturia mai ki ahau ma te aha koe e mau ai te here?
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.
A ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te herea iana ahau ki etahi taura hou kahore ano i meatia ki te mahi, katahi ahau ka kahakore, ka rite ki tetahi atu tangata.
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.
Na ka mau a Terira ki etahi taura hou, ka here i a ia; a ka mea ki a ia, E Hamahona, ko nga Pirihitini, ka eke ki a koe! Na i te ruma i roto nga kaiwhanga e noho ana. Na motuhia ana e ia i ona ringa, ano he miro.
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.
Na ka mea a Terira ki a Hamahona, He tinihanga tau ki ahau, he korero teka a tae mai nei: whakaaturia ki ahau ma te aha koe e mau ai te here? Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te whatua e koe nga makawe e whitu o toku matenga ki roto ki te whenu.
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.
Na titia iho ana e ia ki te titi, a ka mea ki a ia, E Hamahona, ko nga Pirihitini ka eke ki a koe! Na ko tona ohonga ake i tana moe, ka unuhia te titi o te mea whatu me te whenu ano.
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.
Na ka mea te wahine ki a ia, He aha koe i mea ai, E aroha ana ahau ki a koe, kahore nei hoki tou ngakau i riro mai i ahau? Ka toru enei mamingatanga au i ahau, kihai ano hoki i whakaaturia e koe ki ahau no hea tou kaha nui.
16 And it came to pass, when she urged him with her words continually, and pressed him, that his soul became impatient, unto death;
Nawai a kahore he ra i kapea tana aki i a ia ki ana kupu, me te tohe ki a ia, a mate noa iho tona wairua i te hoha;
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.
Katahi ka whakaaturia e ia ki a ia tona ngakau katoa, ka mea ki a ia, Kahore ano i pa noa he heu ki toku mahunga; he Natari hoki ahau ki a Ihowa no te kopu mai ano o toku whaea: ki te heua ahau, katahi ka riro atu toku kaha i ahau, a ka kahakore ahau, ka rite ki te mano o te tangata.
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, no te kitenga o Terira kua whakaaturia tona ngakau katoa ki a ia, ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini, hei mea, Haere mai ano koa aianei, kua whakaaturia hoki e ia tona ngakau katoa ki ahau. Na ka haere mai nga r angatira o nga Pirihitini ki a ia, me te mau mai i te moni i o ratou ringa.
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.
Na ka whakamoea ia e ia ki runga i ona turi, a ka karanga ki tetahi tangata, a heua ana nga makawe e whitu o tona mahunga; na ka timata tana whakaiti i a ia, a mahue ake ia i tona kaha.
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.
Na ka mea tera, E Hamahona ko nga Pirihitini ka eke ki a koe! Na maranga ana ia i tana moe, ka mea, Ka haere ahau ki waho, ka pera me mua ra, ruru ai i ahau. Heoi kihai ia i matau kua mawehe atu a Ihowa i a ia.
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.
Na ka hopukia ia e nga Pirihitini, a tikarohia ana ona kanohi; a kawea ana ia e ratou ki raro, ki Kaha; na herea ana ia ki nga mekameka parahi; a he huri mira tana mahi i roto i te whare herehere.
22 And the hair of his head began to grow, after he had been shaven.
Heoi kua timata ano nga makawe o tona mahunga te tupu i muri i tona heunga.
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.
Na ka huihui nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini ki te patu i tetahi whakahere nui ki a Rakona, ki to ratou atua, ki te whakamanamana ano hoki: i mea hoki, Kua homai to tatou hoariri a Hamahona e to tatou atua ki to tatou ringa.
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.
A, no te kitenga o te iwi i a ia, ka whakamoemiti ki to ratou atua: i mea hoki, Kua homai to tatou hoariri e to tatou atua ki to tatou ringa, te tangata nana to tatou whenua i huna, he tokomaha hoki o tatou i patua e ia.
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 i o ratou ngakau e koa ana, ka mea ratou, Karangatia a Hamahona, hei mea takaro ma tatou. Katahi ka karangatia a Hamahona i roto i te whare herehere, a takaro ana ia i to ratou aroaro: na ka whakaturia ia e ratou ki waenganui o nga pou.
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.
Na ka mea a Hamahona ki te tamaiti i pupuri nei i a ia ki tona ringa, Tukua ahau kia whawha ki nga pou tokomanawa o te whare hei okiokinga atu moku.
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.
Na, ki tonu te whare i te tane, i te wahine; i reira ano hoki nga rangatira katoa o nga Pirihitini: i runga ano i te tuanui me te mea e toru mano nga tane, nga wahine, e matakitaki ana ki nga mahi takaro a Hamahona.
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.
Katahi ka karanga a Hamahona ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, kia mahara ki ahau, whakakahangia hoki ahau, e te Atua, i tenei wa kotahi nei, kia ea tonu aianei ki runga i nga Pirihitini toku mate i oku kanohi e rua.
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.
Na hopukia atu ana e Hamahona nga pou tokomanawa e rua o waenga, i tu ai, i mau ai te whare, ko tetahi ki tona ringa matau, ko tetahi ki tona maui.
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.
Na ka mea a Hamahona, Kia mate tahi ahau me nga Pirihitini. Ko tona tino pikonga iho, me te whakapau ano i tona kaha; heoi hinga ana te whare ki runga ki nga rangatira, ki runga ano hoki ki te iwi katoa i roto. Heoi tini atu i ana i patu ai i to na oranga te hunga i mate i whakamatea nei e ia, i tona matenga.
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.
Katahi ka haere iho ona teina ki raro, ratou ko te whare katoa o tona papa, a tangohia ana ia e ratou, kawea atu ana, tanumia ana ki waenganui o Toraha o Ehetaoro, ki te rua o Manoa, o tona papa. A e rua tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharai ra.
