< Judges 16 >
1 And he went Samson Gaza towards and he saw there a woman a prostitute and he went into her.
參孫到了迦薩,在那裏看見一個妓女,就與她親近。
2 To the Gazites - saying he has come Samson here and they surrounded and they lay in wait for him all the night at [the] gate of the city and they were silent all the night saying until [the] light of the morning and we will kill him.
有人告訴迦薩人說:「參孫到這裏來了!」他們就把他團團圍住,終夜在城門悄悄埋伏,說:「等到天亮我們便殺他。」
3 And he lay down Samson until [the] middle of the night and he arose - in [the] middle of the night and he took hold on [the] doors of [the] gate of the city and on [the] two the doorposts and he pulled up them with the bar and he put [them] on shoulders his and he carried up them to [the] top of the mountain which [is] on [the] face of Hebron.
參孫睡到半夜,起來,將城門的門扇、門框、門閂,一齊拆下來,扛在肩上,扛到希伯崙前的山頂上。
4 And it was after thus and he loved a woman in [the] valley of Sorek and name her [was] Delilah.
後來,參孫在梭烈谷喜愛一個婦人,名叫大利拉。
5 And they went up to her [the] rulers of [the] Philistines and they said to her entice him and see how? [is] strength his great and how? will we prevail to him and we will bind him to humble him and we we will give to you each one thousand and one hundred silver.
非利士人的首領上去見那婦人,對她說:「求你誆哄參孫,探探他因何有這麼大的力氣,我們用何法能勝他,捆綁剋制他。我們就每人給你一千一百舍客勒銀子。」
6 And she said Delilah to Samson tell! please to me how? [is] strength your great and how? will you be bound to humble you.
大利拉對參孫說:「求你告訴我,你因何有這麼大的力氣,當用何法捆綁剋制你。」
7 And he said to her Samson if people will bind me with seven cords fresh which not they have been dried and I will be weak and I will be like one of humankind.
參孫回答說:「人若用七條未乾的青繩子捆綁我,我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
8 And they brought up to her [the] rulers of [the] Philistines seven cords fresh which not they had been dried and she bound him with them.
於是非利士人的首領拿了七條未乾的青繩子來,交給婦人,她就用繩子捆綁參孫。
9 And the ambusher [was] sitting of her in the chamber and she said to him [the] Philistines [are] on you O Samson and he tore apart the cords just as it is torn apart thread of tow when smells it fire and not it was known strength his.
有人預先埋伏在婦人的內室裏。婦人說:「參孫哪,非利士人拿你來了!」參孫就掙斷繩子,如掙斷經火的麻線一般。這樣,他力氣的根由人還是不知道。
10 And she said Delilah to Samson here! you have deceived me and you have spoken to me lies now tell! please to me how? will you be bound.
大利拉對參孫說:「你欺哄我,向我說謊言。現在求你告訴我當用何法捆綁你。」
11 And he said to her certainly [if] they will bind me with ropes new which not it has been done with them work and I will be weak and I will be like one of humankind.
參孫回答說:「人若用沒有使過的新繩捆綁我,我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
12 And she took Delilah ropes new and she bound him with them and she said to him [the] Philistines [are] on you O Samson and the ambusher [was] sitting in the chamber and he tore apart them from on arms his like thread.
大利拉就用新繩捆綁他,對他說:「參孫哪,非利士人拿你來了!」有人預先埋伏在內室裏。參孫將臂上的繩掙斷了,如掙斷一條線一樣。
13 And she said Delilah to Samson until now you have deceived me and you have spoken to me lies tell! to me how? will you be bound and he said to her if you will weave seven [the] plaits of head my with the web. (And you will strike with a pin to the wall and I will be weak and I will be like one man. *X*)
大利拉對參孫說:「你到如今還是欺哄我,向我說謊言。求你告訴我,當用何法捆綁你。」參孫回答說:「你若將我頭上的七條髮綹,與緯線同織就可以了。」
14 (And she made sleep him and she wove seven [the] plaits head his with the web *X*) and she thrust with the pin and she said to him [the] Philistines [are] on you O Samson and he awoke from sleep his and he pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.
於是大利拉將他的髮綹與緯線同織,用橛子釘住,對他說:「參孫哪,非利士人拿你來了!」參孫從睡中醒來,將機上的橛子和緯線一齊都拔出來了。
15 And she said to him how? will you say I love you and heart your not [is] with me this three times you have deceived me and not you have told to me how? [is] strength your great.
大利拉對參孫說:「你既不與我同心,怎麼說你愛我呢?你這三次欺哄我,沒有告訴我,你因何有這麼大的力氣。」
16 And it was that she pressed him with words her all the days and she urged him and it was short self his to die.
大利拉天天用話催逼他,甚至他心裏煩悶要死。
17 And he told to her all heart his and he said to her a razor not it has come up on head my for [am] a Nazirite of God I from [the] womb of mother my if I was shaved and it will depart from me strength my and I will be weak and I will be like every man.
參孫就把心中所藏的都告訴了她,對她說:「向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭,因為我自出母胎就歸上帝作拿細耳人;若剃了我的頭髮,我的力氣就離開我,我便軟弱像別人一樣。」
18 And she saw (Delilah *LA(bh)*) that he had told to her all heart his and she sent and she summoned [the] rulers of [the] Philistines saying come up this time for he has told (to me *Q(K)*) all heart his and they came up to her [the] rulers of [the] Philistines and they brought up the silver in hand their.
大利拉見他把心中所藏的都告訴了她,就打發人到非利士人的首領那裏,對他們說:「他已經把心中所藏的都告訴了我,請你們再上來一次。」於是非利士人的首領手裏拿着銀子,上到婦人那裏。
19 And she made sleep him on knees her and she summoned the man and she shaved off seven [the] plaits of head his and she began to humble him and it departed strength his from on him.
大利拉使參孫枕着她的膝睡覺,叫了一個人來剃除他頭上的七條髮綹。於是大利拉剋制他,他的力氣就離開他了。
20 And she said [the] Philistines [are] on you O Samson and he awoke from sleep his and he said I will go out as time on time so I may shake myself free and he not he knew that Yahweh he had departed from with him.
大利拉說:「參孫哪,非利士人拿你來了!」參孫從睡中醒來,心裏說:「我要像前幾次出去活動身體」;他卻不知道耶和華已經離開他了。
21 And they seized him [the] Philistines and they gouged out eyes his and they brought down him Gaza towards and they bound him with bronze fetters and he was grinding in [the] house of (those imprisoned. *Q(K)*)
非利士人將他拿住,剜了他的眼睛,帶他下到迦薩,用銅鍊拘索他;他就在監裏推磨。
22 And it began [the] hair of head his to grow back when it had been shaved.
然而他的頭髮被剃之後,又漸漸長起來了。
23 And [the] rulers of [the] Philistines they gathered to sacrifice a sacrifice great to Dagon god their and for joy and they said he has given god our in hand our Samson enemies our.
非利士人的首領聚集,要給他們的神大袞獻大祭,並且歡樂,因為他們說:「我們的神將我們的仇敵參孫交在我們手中了。」
24 And they saw him the people and they praised god their for they said he has given god our in hand our enemy our and [the] desolator of land our and who he has multiplied slain [ones] our.
眾人看見參孫,就讚美他們的神說:「我們的神將毀壞我們地、殺害我們許多人的仇敵交在我們手中了。」
25 And it was (like good *Q(K)*) heart their and they said summon Samson so he may make sport for us and they summoned Samson from [the] house of (those imprisoned *Q(K)*) and he made sport before them and they made stand him between the pillars.
他們正宴樂的時候,就說:「叫參孫來,在我們面前戲耍戲耍。」於是將參孫從監裏提出來,他就在眾人面前戲耍。他們使他站在兩柱中間。
26 And he said Samson to the young man who kept hold on hand his permit! me (and let feel me *Q(K)*) the pillars which the house [is] established on them so I may lean on them.
參孫向拉他手的童子說:「求你讓我摸着托房的柱子,我要靠一靠。」
27 And the house was full men and women and [were] there all [the] rulers of [the] Philistines and [were] on the roof about three thousand man and woman who were looking when sported Samson.
那時房內充滿男女,非利士人的眾首領也都在那裏。房的平頂上約有三千男女觀看參孫戲耍。
28 And he called out Samson to Yahweh and he said O Lord Yahweh remember me please and strengthen me please only the time this O God so let me avenge myself vengeance of one from [the] two eyes my from [the] Philistines.
參孫求告耶和華說:「主耶和華啊,求你眷念我。上帝啊,求你賜我這一次的力量,使我在非利士人身上報那剜我雙眼的仇。」
29 And he grasped Samson [the] two - [the] pillars of the middle which the house [was] established on them and he supported himself on them one in right [hand] his and one in left [hand] his.
參孫就抱住托房的那兩根柱子:左手抱一根,右手抱一根,
30 And he said Samson let it die life my with [the] Philistines and he stretched out with strength and it fell the house on the rulers and on all the people which [was] in it and they were the dead whom he killed in death his many more than [those] whom he had killed in life his.
說:「我情願與非利士人同死!」就盡力屈身,房子倒塌,壓住首領和房內的眾人。這樣,參孫死時所殺的人比活着所殺的還多。
31 And they went down brothers his and all [the] household of father his and they carried him and they brought [him] up - and they buried him between Zorah and between Eshtaol in [the] tomb of Manoah father his and he he judged Israel twenty year[s].
參孫的弟兄和他父的全家都下去取他的屍首,抬上來葬在瑣拉和以實陶中間,在他父瑪挪亞的墳墓裏。參孫作以色列的士師二十年。
