Judges 16
1 Then went Samson unto Gaza, —and saw there an unchaste woman, and went in unto her.
Потом отиде Самсон у Газу, и онде виде једну жену курву, и уђе к њој.
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.
И људима у Гази би казано: Дође Самсон овамо. И опколише и вребаше га целу ноћ на вратима градским; и стајаху у потаји целу ноћ говорећи: Док сване, убићемо га.
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.
Али Самсон спавав до поноћи уста у поноћи, и шчепа врата градска с оба довратка и ишчупа их с преворницом заједно, и метну их на рамена и однесе на врх горе која је према Хеврону.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that he loved a woman in the ravine of Shorek, whose, name, was Delilah.
После тога замилова девојку на потоку Сорику, којој беше име Далида.
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.
И дођоше к њој кнезови филистејски и рекоше јој: Превари га и искушај где му стоји велика снага и како би смо му досадили да га свежемо и савладамо; а ми ћемо ти дати сваки по хиљаду и сто сребрника.
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.
И Далида рече Самсону: Хајде кажи ми где стоји твоја велика снага и чим би се могао свезати и савладати.
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.
А Самсон јој рече: Да ме свежу у седам гужава сирових неосушених, онда бих изгубио снагу и био као и други човек.
8 So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords, that had not been dried, —and she bound him therewith.
И донесоше јој кнезови филистејски седам гужава сирових, још неосушених, и она га свеза њима.
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.
А код ње беше заседа у соби; и она му рече: Ето Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он покида гужве, као што се кида конац од кудеље кад осети ватру; и не дозна се за снагу његову.
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.
Потом рече Далида Самсону: Гле, преварио си ме, и слагао си ми; него хајде кажи ми чим би се могао свезати.
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.
А он јој рече: Да ме добро свежу новим ужима којима није ништа рађено, тада бих изгубио снагу и био бих као други човек.
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.
И Далида узе нова ужа, и свеза га њима, пак му рече: Ето Филистеји на те Самсоне! А заседа беше у соби. А он раскиде с руку ужа као конац.
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.
Тада рече Далида Самсону: Једнако ме вараш и лажеш ми; кажи ми чим би се могао свезати? А он јој рече: Да седам прамена косе на глави мојој привијеш на вратило.
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.
И она заглавивши вратило коцем, рече: Ево Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он се пробуди од сна, и истрже колац и основу и вратило.
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.
Опет му она рече: Како можеш говорити: Љубим те, кад срце твоје није код мене? Већ си ме три пута преварио не хотећи ми казати где ти је велика снага.
16 And it came to pass, when she urged him with her words continually, and pressed him, that his soul became impatient, unto death;
И она му досађиваше својим речима сваки дан и наваљиваше на њ, и душа му пренеможе да умре.
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.
Те јој отвори цело срце своје, и рече јој: Бритва није никад прешла преко главе моје, јер сам назиреј Божји од утробе матере своје; да се обријем, оставила би ме снага моја и ослабио бих, и био бих као сваки човек
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.
А Далида видећи да јој је отворио цело срце своје, посла и позва кнезове филистејске поручивши им: Ходите сада, јер ми је отворио цело срце своје. Тада дођоше кнезови филистејски к њој и донесоше новце у рукама својим.
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.
А она га успава на крилу свом, и дозва човека те му обрија седам прамена косе с главе, и она га прва свлада кад га остави снага његова.
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.
И она рече: Ето Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он пробудивши се од сна рече: Изаћи ћу као и пре и отећу се; јер не знаше да је Господ одступио од њега.
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.
Тада га ухватише Филистеји, и ископаше му очи, и одведоше га у Газу и оковаше га у двоје вериге бронзане; и мељаше у тамници.
22 And the hair of his head began to grow, after he had been shaven.
А коса на глави његовој поче расти као што је била кад га обријаше.
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.
И кнезови филистејски скупише се да принесу велику жртву Дагону богу свом, и да се провеселе, па рекоше: Предаде нам бог наш у руке наше Самсона непријатеља нашег.
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.
Такође и народ видевши га хваљаше бога свог говорећи: Предаде нам бог наш у руке наше непријатеља нашег и затирача земље наше и који поби толике између нас.
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.
И кад се развесели срце њихово рекоше: Зовите Самсона да нам игра. И дозваше Самсона из тамнице да им игра, и наместише га међу два стуба.
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.
Тада Самсон рече момку који га држаше за руку: Пусти ме, да опипам стубове на којима стоји кућа, да се наслоним на њих.
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.
А кућа беше пуна људи и жена и сви кнезови филистејски беху онде; и на крову беше око три хиљаде људи и жена, који гледаху како Самсон игра.
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.
Тада Самсон завапи ка Господу и рече: Господе, Господе! Опомени ме се, молим те, и укрепи ме, молим те, само сада, о Боже! Да се осветим једанпут Филистејима за оба ока своја.
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.
И загрли Самсон два стуба средња, на којима стајаше кућа, и наслони се на њих, на један десном а на други левом руком својом.
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.
Па онда рече Самсон: Нека умрем с Филистејима. И належе јако, и паде кућа на кнезове и на сав народ који беше у њој; и би мртвих које поби умирући више него оних које поби за живота свог.
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.
После дођоше браћа његова и сав дом оца његовог, и узеше га, и вративши се погребоше га између Сараје и Естола у гробу Маноја оца његовог. А он би судија Израиљу двадесет година.
