Judges 16
1 And he went Samson Gaza towards and he saw there a woman a prostitute and he went into her.
Et Samson étant allé à Gaza, y vit une courtisane, et il entra chez elle.
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.
On dit aux Gazites: Samson est arrivé ici! Et ils firent des rondes, et toute la nuit ils le guettèrent à la porte de la ville, et ils ne firent point de bruit de toute la nuit et ils disaient: Attendons l'aube du matin; alors nous le tuerons.
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.
Et Samson fut couché jusqu'à minuit; et vers minuit il se leva, et il saisit les deux battants de la porte de la ville et les deux jambages, et les arracha avec la barre, et les chargea sur ses épaules et les porta sur le sommet de la montagne qui est vis-à-vis d'Hébron.
4 And it was after thus and he loved a woman in [the] valley of Sorek and name her [was] Delilah.
Et il arriva ensuite qu'il aima une femme dans la vallée de Sorek, et elle se nommait Delila.
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.
Alors les princes des Philistins allèrent chez elle et lui dirent: Flatte-le et observe où gît sa grande force, et par où nous pourrions le maîtriser pour le garrotter et le dompter; et nous, nous te donnerons chacun mille et cent sicles d'argent.
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.
Alors Delila dit à Samson: Révèle-moi donc où gît ta grande force, et de quoi il faudrait te lier pour te dompter!
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.
Et Samson lui dit: Qu'on me lie de sept cordes encore humides, non séchées, et je deviens débile et tel qu'un autre homme.
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.
Alors les princes des Philistins firent porter chez elle sept cordes encore humides, non séchées; et elle l'en garrotta.
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.
Or des gens se tenaient chez elle embusqués dans une chambre. Et elle lui dit: Les Philistins contre toi, Samson! Alors il cassa les cordes comme l'on casse un cordon de chanvre, quand il sent le feu. Et l'on ne connut pas le secret de sa force.
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.
Alors Delila dit à Samson: Voici, tu m'as abusée, et tu m'as fait un mensonge. A présent indique-moi donc avec quoi il faut te lier.
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.
Et il lui dit: Qu'on me lie de cordes neuves qui n'aient servi à aucun travail, et je deviens débile et tel qu'un autre homme.
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.
Alors Delila prit des cordes neuves et l'en lia; puis elle lui dit: Les Philistins contre toi, Samson! Or des gens se tenaient embusqués dans une chambre. Et il dégagea ses bras en cassant les cordes comme un fil.
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*)
Alors Delila dit à Samson: Jusqu'ici tu m'as abusée et tu m'as dit des mensonges! Indique-moi avec quoi il faut te lier. Et il lui dit: Si avec des fils tu tisses en natte les sept tresses de ma tête.
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.
Et avec un clou elle les fixa [à la paroi] et elle lui dit: Les Philistins contre toi, Samson! Et il se réveilla de son sommeil, et rompit le clou qui fixait la natte, et les fils.
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.
Alors elle lui dit: Comment peux-tu dire: Je t'aime! tandis que ton cœur n'est pas avec moi? Voici trois fois que tu m'abuses sans me révéler où gît ta grande force.
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.
Et comme tous les jours elle l'importunait par ses discours et par son insistance, son âme ennuyée à la mort perdit patience;
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.
alors il lui ouvrit tout son cœur et lui dit: Jamais rasoir ne passa sur ma tête, parce que dès le sein de ma mère je suis consacré à Dieu; si j'étais rasé, ma force s'en irait, et je deviendrais débile et tel que tous les hommes.
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.
Et Delila, voyant qu'il lui avait ouvert tout son cœur, envoya un message aux princes des Philistins pour les mander et leur dire: Cette fois venez, car il m'a ouvert tout son cœur. Et les princes des Philistins arrivèrent chez elle et apportèrent l'argent dans leurs mains.
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.
Et elle l'endormit sur ses genoux et fit venir un homme, et elle fit raser les sept tresses de sa tête, et commença ainsi à le dompter, et sa force disparut.
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.
Et elle dit: Les Philistins contre toi, Samson! Et il se réveilla de son sommeil; et il se disait: Je m'en tirerai cette fois comme l'autre fois et je me dégagerai. Or il ne se doutait pas que l'Éternel s'était retiré de lui.
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)*)
Alors les Philistins le saisirent et lui crevèrent les yeux, et le menèrent à Gaza, et le lièrent d'une double chaîne d'airain, et il fut réduit à moudre dans la prison.
22 And it began [the] hair of head his to grow back when it had been shaved.
Cependant sa chevelure commençait à croître depuis qu'elle avait été rasée.
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.
Or les princes des Philistins se réunirent pour immoler un grand sacrifice à Dagon, leur dieu, et pour se réjouir. Et ils dirent: Notre Dieu a fait tomber entre nos mains Samson, notre ennemi.
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.
Et quand le peuple le vit, ils louèrent leur dieu; car ils disaient: Notre Dieu a fait tomber entre nos mains notre ennemi, et le dévastateur de notre pays, et le meurtrier d'un grand nombre des nôtres.
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.
Et comme ils étaient en belle humeur, ils dirent: Faites venir Samson pour nous divertir. Et ils firent venir Samson de la prison, et il fit des bouffonneries devant eux et ils le placèrent entre les colonnes.
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.
Et Samson dit au valet qui lui tenait la main: Laisse-moi tâter les colonnes sur lesquelles pose l'édifice, je voudrais m'y appuyer.
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.
Or l'édifice était rempli d'hommes et de femmes, et tous les princes des Philistins s'y trouvaient; et sur le toit il y avait environ trois mille hommes et femmes regardant Samson faire des bouffonneries.
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.
Alors Samson invoqua l'Éternel et dit: Seigneur, Éternel! oh! souviens-toi de moi, et prête-moi force pour cette fois seulement, ô Dieu, afin que je tire des Philistins une vengeance unique pour la perte de mes deux yeux.
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.
Et Samson fit pencher les deux colonnes médiales sur lesquelles posait l'édifice, en s'y appuyant, à l'une de la main droite, à l'autre de la gauche.
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.
Et Samson dit: Que je périsse avec les Philistins! Et il les renversa avec force, et l'édifice croula sur les princes et sur tout le peuple présent, et les morts qu'il fit mourir lors de sa mort, furent plus nombreux que ceux qu'il avait fait mourir de son vivant.
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].
Et ses frères avec toute la maison de son père vinrent pour l'enlever; et ils le transportèrent et lui donnèrent la sépulture entre Tsorea et Esthaol dans le tombeau de Manoah, son père. Or il jugea Israël pendant vingt ans.
