< Judges 16 >

1 And he went Samson Gaza towards and he saw there a woman a prostitute and he went into her.
Otu ụbọchị, Samsin gara nʼotu obodo ndị Filistia a na-akpọ Gaza, soro otu nwanyị akwụna bi nʼebe ahụ hie ụra abalị.
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.
A gwara ndị Gaza sị, “Samsin nọ nʼobodo a.” Nʼihi ya, ha gbara ebe ahụ gburugburu ma nọdụ na-eche nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ abalị niile. Ọ dịghị ihe ha mere nʼabalị ahụ nʼihi na ha zubere sị, “Mgbe chi bọrọ, anyị ga-egbu ya.”
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.
Ma Samsin dinara nʼụlọ nwanyị akwụna ahụ ruo nʼetiti abalị ahụ. Mgbe ọ pụtara, ọ gara ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ, foro ibo ọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ, ya na ibo ya abụọ, bukwasị ya nʼubu ya, buru ha gaa nʼelu ugwu chere obodo Hebrọn ihu.
4 And it was after thus and he loved a woman in [the] valley of Sorek and name her [was] Delilah.
Ọ dịghị anya, Samsin hụrụ otu nwaagbọghọ, onye ọ hụrụ nʼanya. Aha nwaagbọghọ a bụ Delaịla, onye si nʼobodo dị na Ndagwurugwu Sorek.
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.
Ndị eze ndị Filistia, bịakwutere Delaịla rịọọ ya sị, “Gbalịa lee ma ị ga-enwe ike chọpụta ebe ike Samsin si abịa, ka anyị nwee ike ịmata ụzọ anyị ga-esi jide ya, kee ya agbụ. Ọ bụrụ na i meere anyị nke a, anyị na-ekwe nkwa na onye ọbụla nʼime anyị ga-enye gị puku shekel na narị shekel ọlaọcha.”
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.
Nʼihi nke a, Delaịla gwara Samsin okwu sị ya, “Gwa m ebe ike gị si abịa. Gwakwa m otu mmadụ pụrụ isi kee gị agbụ, merie gị.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ e jiri akwara eriri asaa dị ọhụrụ, ndị a na-amịkpọghị amịkpọ kee m, m ga-abụkwa onye na-adịghị ike dịka mmadụ ọbụla ọzọ.”
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.
Ngwangwa, ndịisi ndị Filistia wetara ya eriri asaa dị ọhụrụ ndị a na-amịbeghị nʼanwụ, o weere ha kee Samsin.
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.
Ma o mere ka ụfọdụ ndị ikom Filistia zoo onwe ha nʼotu akụkụ ụlọ ya. O tiri mkpu sị, “Samsin, lee, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị!” Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, Samsin biliri dọbisie eriri ahụ dịka ọ bụ eriri e ji ogho mee nke bịara ọkụ nso. Ya mere, a chọpụtaghị ebe ike Samsin si abịa.
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.
Emesịa, Delaịla gwara Samsin sị ya, “Lee, ị kwaala m emo, ghaara m ụgha. Biko, gwa m ụzọ a ga-esi kee gị agbụ.”
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.
Samsin zara sị ya, “Lee, ọ bụrụ na e jiri ụdọ ọhụrụ nke a na-ejibeghị kee ihe mgbe ọbụla, kee m, aga m adịkwa dịka ndị ọzọ.”
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.
Ya mere, Delaịla chịkọtara ụdọ ọhụrụ jiri ya kee ya nke ọma. Ma ụfọdụ ndị ikom Filistia zokwara onwe ha nʼime ime ụlọ ahụ. Ọzọkwa, Delaịla tiri mkpu sị, “Samsin, lee, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị.” Ma Samsin biliri dọbisie eriri ahụ e ji kee ya ka a ga-asị na ọ bụ ogho ka e ji mee ha.
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*)
Mgbe ahụ, Delaịla gwara ya sị, “Lee, ị na-eme ka abụ m onye nzuzu, ghaara m ụgha. Gwa m eziokwu, otu a ga-esi kee gị agbụ.” Samsin zara sị ya, “Lee, e kewara agịrị isi dị m nʼisi ụzọ asaa, i were ụzọ nkekọta asaa e kekọtara agịrị isi m, kpanyekọtaa ha nʼihe i ji ekwe akwa, were ntu osisi i ji akpachi akwa kpachie ya, mgbe ahụ, aga m adịkwa ka ndị ọzọ.” Mgbe Samsin rahụrụ ụra, Delaịla weere agịrị isi Samsin kpanyekọtaa ya nʼihe o ji ekwe akwa.
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.
O jikwa ǹtu osisi o ji akpachi akwa, kpachikọtasie agịrị isi Samsin ike. Ọzọ, Delaịla sịrị ya, “Samsin, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị.” Ma Samsin bilitere nʼike fokọrọ ǹtu osisi ahụ, na ihe eji akpa akwa, na akwa akpara akpa.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Delaịla gwara ya okwu sị, “Olee ka i si kwuo na ị hụrụ m nʼanya, ebe ọ bụ na i nweghị ike ịgwa m ihe dị gị nʼobi? Lee, ugbo atọ ndị a, i mere m ka m dịka onye nzuzu, ma ị gwabeghị m ebe ike gị dị ruo ugbu a.”
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.
Delaịla sikwara otu a nyegide Samsin nsogbu tutu ruo mgbe Samsin na-enweghịkwa ike ịnagide nsogbu ya.
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.
Ya mere, ọ gwara ya ihe niile, “Ọ dịbeghị mgbe agụba ọbụla gara nʼelu isi m, nʼihi na abụ m onye Nazirait, onye e doro nsọ nye Chineke ka m bụ, site nʼafọ nne m. Ọ bụrụkwa na a kpụchapụ agịrị isi m, mgbe ahụ, ike niile dị m nʼahụ ga-apụ. Mgbe ahụ, aga m adịkwa ka ndị ọzọ.”
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.
Mgbe Delaịla matara na ọ gwala ya ihe niile, o ziri ozi kpọọ ndịisi ndị Filistia ahụ, sị, “Bịaghachinụ otu ugbu a, nʼihi na ọ gwara m ihe niile.” Ya mere, ndịisi ndị Filistia lọghachiri jiri ego ọlaedo ahụ nʼaka ha.
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.
Ma Delaịla mere ka o dinaa nʼapata ụkwụ ya rahụ ụra. Mgbe ahụ, ọ kpọbatara nwoke na-akpụcha isi, ka ọ kpụchapụ agịrị isi niile dị Samsin nʼisi, si otu a mee ka ike ghara ịdịkwa ya. Ike ya hapụrụ ya.
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.
O tiri mkpu sị, “Samsin, lee, ndị Filistia abịala ijide gị.” Ma mgbe Samsin bilitere site nʼụra, o chere nʼobi ya, “Aga m apụ ka m si mee na mbụ megharịa arụ ma nwere onwe m.” Ma ọ maghị na Onyenwe anyị ahapụla ya.
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)*)
Ndị Filistia jidere ya, ghụpụ ya anya ya abụọ, duru ya gbadata Gaza. Nʼebe ahụ, ha jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, nye ya ọrụ ịnyagharị igwe na-akwọ ọka nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ha tinyere ya.
22 And it began [the] hair of head his to grow back when it had been shaved.
Mgbe na-adịghị anya, agịrị isi ya malitekwara ito ọzọ.
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.
Ugbu a, ndịisi ndị Filistia niile zukọtara ịchụrụ chi ha bụ Dagọn, aja dị ukwuu, na ịṅụrị ọṅụ, na-asị, “Chi anyị enyela Samsin bụ onye iro anyị nʼaka anyị.”
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.
Mgbe ndị mmadụ hụrụ ya, ha toro chi ha sị, “Chi anyị enyela onye iro anyị nʼaka anyị, onye mere ka ala anyị tọgbọrọ nʼefu gbukwaa ọtụtụ ndị anyị.”
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.
Mgbe ha ka nọ nʼobi ụtọ, ha tiri mkpu sị, “Dupụtara anyị Samsin, ka o kpaa anyị ọchị.” Ya mere, e dupụtara Samsin site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ka o meere ha ihe egwuregwu. Ha mere ka o guzo nʼetiti ebe ogidi e ji wuo ụlọ ahụ dị.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin sịrị onye na-eji ya nʼaka sị, “Debe m nʼebe m ga-emetụ ogidi ndị ụlọ a na-eguzo na ha aka, ka m nwe ike dabere na ha.”
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.
Nʼoge a, mmadụ ejupụtala nʼime ụlọ ahụ, nwoke na nwanyị; ndịisi ọchịchị ndị Filistia nọkwa nʼebe ahụ. Ndị ọzọ ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru puku atọ, nwoke na nwanyị, nọ nʼelu ụlọ ahụ na-ele Samsin, ebe ọ na-emere ha ihe ọchị.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ sị, “O! Onyenwe m Onyenwe anyị, biko cheta m naanị otu ugbu a. Biko, Chineke, nye m ike nʼotu ohere a m nwere, ka m nwee ike ịbọrọ ọbọ nʼahụ ndị Filistia nʼihi, ọ bụladị, mkpụrụ anya m abụọ.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Samsin jidesiri ogidi abụọ dị nʼetiti ụlọ ahụ aka ike, aka nri ya nʼotu, aka ekpe ya na nke ọzọ.
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.
Samsin kpere ekpere sị, “Ka m soro ndị Filistia nwụọ!” O ji ike ya niile nuo ogidi ahụ aka. Otu mgbe ahụ kwa, ụlọ arụsị ahụ dara, dakwasị ndịisi ọchịchị Filistia ndị ahụ, na ndị niile nọ nʼime ụlọ ahụ. Ya mere, ndị niile so Samsin nwụọ nʼoge ahụ dị ọtụtụ karịa ndị Samsin gburu mgbe ọ dị ndụ.
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].
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ụmụnna ndị ikom Samsin, na ndị ezinaụlọ nna ya bịara nʼebe ahụ, buru ozu ya. Ha liri ya nʼagbata Zora na Eshtaol, ebe e liri nna ya Manoa. Samsin kpere ụmụ Izrel ikpe iri afọ abụọ.
