< Judges 16 >

1 Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there, and he went to bed with her.
Napan ni Samson idiay Gaza ket nakakita isuna sadiay iti maysa a balangkantis, ket nakikaidda isuna kenkuana.
2 The Gazites were told, “Samson has come here.” The Gazites surrounded the place and in secret, they waited for him all night at the city gate. They kept silent all night. They had said, “Let us wait until daylight, and then let us kill him.”
Naibaga kadagiti Gazita, “Immay ditoy ni Samson.” Linakub dagiti taga- Gaza ti lugar, ken nagpatpatnag nga inurayda isuna a nalimed iti ayan ti ruangan ti siudad. Naulimekda bayat iti nagpatnag. Ket kinunkunada, “Aguraytayo agingga iti aglawag, ket papatayentayo isuna.”
3 Samson lay in bed until midnight. At midnight he got up and he took hold of the city gate and its two posts. He pulled them up out of the ground, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the hill, in front of Hebron.
Nagidda ni Samson agingga iti tengnga ti rabii. Bimmangon isuna iti tengnga ti rabii ket iniggamanna ti ruangan ti siudad ken dagiti dua a postena daytoy. Pinarutna dagitoy, ti balunet ken dagiti amin, binaklayna dagitoy nga impan iti tapaw ti turod, iti sango ti Hebron.
4 After this, Samson came to love a woman who lived in the Valley of Sorek. Her name was Delilah.
Kalpasan daytoy ket nagayat ni Samson iti maysa a babai nga agnanaed idiay tanap ti Sorek. Ti naganna ket Delila.
5 The rulers of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, “Trick Samson to see where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him in order to humiliate him. Do this, and each one of us will give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”
Immay kenkuana dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo ket kinunada kenkuana, “Allilawem ni Samson tapno kitaem no sadino ti paggapgapuan iti pigsana, ket no ania a wagas a maabakmi isuna, tapno mareppettayo isuna tapno ibabaintayo isuna. Aramidem daytoy, ket tunggal maysa kadakami ket mangted kenka iti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak.”
6 Then Delilah said to Samson, “Please, tell me how is it that you are so strong, and how could anyone bind you, so you might be controlled?”
Ket kinuna ngarud ni Delila kenni Samson, “Pangaasim, ibagam kaniak no apay a napigsaka unay, ken no kasano a mareppetnaka ti maysa a tao tapno matengngelka?”
7 Samson said to her, “If they tie me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”
Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “No reppetendak babaen iti pito a sadiwa a lapnit ti bai ti pana a saan pay a nagango ket agkapsutakto ken agbalinak a kasla iti sabali a tao.”
8 Then the rulers of the Philistines brought up to Delilah seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied Samson up with them.
Ket nangiyeg dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo kenni Delila iti pito a sadiwa a lapnit ti bai ti pana a saan pay nagango, ket rineppetna ni Samson babaen kadagitoy.
9 Now she had men hiding in secret, staying in her inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he broke the bowstrings like a thread of yarn when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not discovered.
Ita, addaan isuna kadagiti lallaki nga aglemlemmeng a nalimed iti makin-uneg a siledna. Kinuna kenkuana, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo!” Ngem pinugsatna dagiti lapnit ti bai iti pana a kasla maysa a sinulid no naidekket daytoy iti apoy. Ket saanda a naammoan ti palimed ti pigsana.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “This is how you have deceived me and told me lies. Please, tell me how you can be overpowered.”
Ket kinuna ni Delila kenni Samson, “Kastoy iti panangallilawmo ken panangulbodmo kaniak. Pangaasim ta ibagam kaniak no kasanodaka a maparmek.”
11 He said to her, “If they tie me up with new ropes which have never been used for work, I will become weak and like any other man.”
Kinuna kenkuana, “No reppetendak babaen kadagiti barbaro a tali a saan pay a nausar ket agbalinakto a nakapsut ken kasla iti sabali a tao.”
12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him up with them, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” The men lying in wait were in the inner room. But Samson tore off the ropes from his arms like they were a piece of thread.
Nangala ngarud ni Delila kadagiti barbaro a tali ket inreppetna dagitoy kenkuana, ket kunana kenkuana, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo.” Dagiti lallaki nga agur-uray ket adda iti makin-uneg a siled. Ngem pinugsat ni Samson dagiti tali manipud kadagiti imana a kasla maysa dagitoy a sinulid.
13 Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you may be overpowered.” Samson said to her, “If you weave seven locks of my hair into a fabric on a loom, and then nail that to the loom, I will be like any other man.”
Kinuna ni Delila kenni Samson, “Agingga ita ket al-allilawennak ken ul-ulbodannak. Ibagam kaniak no kasanodaka a maparmek.” Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “No mangabelka iti pito a linabag iti buokko iti tela, ket ilansam dagitoy iti pagabelan, agbalinakto a kasla iti sabali a tao.”
14 While he slept, Delilah wove seven locks of his hair into the fabric on the loom and nailed it to the loom, and she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He woke from his sleep and he pulled out the fabric and the pin from the loom.
Kabayatan a nakaturog isuna, nangabel ni Delila kadagiti pito a linabag iti buokna iti tela ket inlansana iti pagabelan, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Samson! Umay dagiti Filisteo kenka.” Nagriing isuna ket pinarutna ti tela ken ti lansa manipud iti pagabelan.
15 She said to him, “How can you say, 'I love you,' when you do not share your secrets with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me how you have such great strength.”
Kinunana kenkuana, “Kasano a kunam nga, 'Ay-ayatenka,' no saanmo met nga ibingay kaniak ti palimedmo? Rinabrabaknak iti mamintallo a daras ket saanmo nga imbagbaga no kasanoka a naaddaan iti kasta a pigsa.”
16 Every day she pressed him hard with her words, and she pressured him so much that he wished he would die.
Inaldaw a rengrengenna ni Samson babaen iti saona, ken pilpilitenna iti kasta unay nga urayla tarigagayan ni Samson ti matay.
17 So Samson told her everything and said to her, “I have never had a razor cut the hair on my head, for I have been a Nazirite for God from my mother's womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I will become weak and be like every other man.”
Imbaga ngarud ni Samson kenkuana amin ket kinuna kenkuana, “Saanko pay a pulos a pinapukisan ti buok iti ulok, gapu ta maysaak a Nazireo a maipaay iti Apo manipud iti aanakan ti inak. No mapukisan ti ulok, ket panawannak ti pigsak, ket agbalinak a nakapsut ken kas iti sabali a tao.”
18 When Delilah saw that he had told her the truth about everything, she sent and called for the rulers of the Philistines, saying, “Come up again, for he has told me everything.” Then the rulers of the Philistines went up to her, bringing the silver in their hands.
Idi nakita ni Delila nga imbagana kenkuana ti kinapudno maipapan iti amin a banag, nangibaon ken pinaayabanna dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo, kunana, “Umaykayo manen gapu ta imbaganan kaniak ti amin a banag.” Ket immay kenkuana dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo ket tugotda dagiti pirak kadagiti imada.
19 She had him fall asleep in her lap. She called for a man to shave off the seven locks of his head, and she began to subdue him, for his strength had left him.
Pinaturogna ni Samson iti saklotna. Nangayab isuna iti maysa a tao a mangpukis kadagiti pito a linabag iti buokna, ket rinugianna a parukmaen isuna gapu ta nagpukawen ti pigsana.
20 She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He woke up out of his sleep and said, “I will get out like the other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that Yahweh had left him.
Kinuna ni Delila, “Samson! Umay kenka dagiti Filisteo.” Nakariing isuna ket kinunana, “Makaruk-atakto a kasla iti dadduma a tiempo ket iwagsakkonto ti bagik.” Ngem saanna nga ammo a pinanawanen ni Yahweh isuna.
21 The Philistines captured him and put out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles. He turned the millstone at the prison house.
Tiniliw isuna dagiti Filisteo ket kinautda dagiti matana. Insalogda isuna idiay Gaza ket ginalutanda isuna babaen iti kawar a bronse. Pinatayyekna ti paggilingan a bato idiay pagbaludan.
22 But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
Ngem nangrugi manen nga umatiddog ti buokna kalpasan ti pannakapukisna.
23 The rulers of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. They said, “Our god has conquered Samson, our enemy, and put him in our grasp.”
Naguummong dagiti mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo tapno mangidatonda iti dakkel a sakrifisio kenni Dagon a diosda, ken tapno agrag-oda. Gapu ta kinunada, “Pinarmek ti diostayo ni Samson, ti kabusortayo ket intedna iti imatayo.”
24 When the people saw him, they praised their god, for they said, “Our god has conquered our enemy and given him to us—the destroyer of our country, who killed many of us.”
Idi makita isuna dagiti tattao, dinaydayawda ti diosda, ta kinunada, “Pinarmek ti diostayo ti kabusortayo ken intedna isuna kadatayo—ti manangdadael iti pagiliantayo, a nangpatay iti adu kadatayo.”
25 When they were celebrating, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may make us laugh.” They called for Samson out of the prison and he made them laugh. They made him stand between the pillars.
Idi agramrambakda, kinunada, “Ayabanyo ni Samson, tapno pagkakatawaennatayo.” Pinaruarda ni Samson iti pagbaludan, ket pinagkatkatawana ida. Pinagtakderda isuna iti nagbaetan dagiti adigi.
26 Samson said to the boy who held his hand, “Permit me to touch the pillars on which the building rests, so that I can lean against them.”
Kinuna ni Samson iti ubing a lalaki a nangkibin kenkuana, “Ipalubosmo a maarikapko dagiti adigi a nagsaadan ti pasdek tapno makasanggirak kadagitoy.”
27 Now the house was full of men and women. All the rulers of the Philistines were there. There were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who were looking on while Samson was entertaining them.
Ita, napno ti balay kadagiti babbai ken lallaki. Adda idiay dagiti amin a mangiturturay kadagiti Filisteo. Adda iti ngato ti balay iti agarup tallo ribu a lallaki ken babbai, nga agbuybuya bayat a parparagsaken ida ni Samson.
28 Samson called to Yahweh and said, “Lord Yahweh, call me to mind! Please strengthen me only this once, God, so that I may have revenge in one blow on the Philistines for taking my two eyes.”
Immawag ni Samson kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “O Apo Yahweh, lagipennak! Pangaasim ta papigsaennak iti maminsan laeng iti daytoy a kanito, O Dios, tapno makaibalesak a maminpinsan kadagiti Filisteo iti panangkautda kadagiti matak.”
29 Samson held on to the two middle pillars on which the building rested, and he leaned against them, one pillar with his right hand, and the other with his left.
Tiniritir ni Samson dagiti dua nga akin-tengnga nga adigi a nagsaadan ti pasdek, ken nagsanggir isuna kadagitoy, maysa nga adigi iti makannawan nga imana ken ti maysa pay iti kannigidna.
30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He stretched out with his strength and the building fell on the rulers and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed when he died were more than those he killed during his life.
Kinuna ni Samson, “Bay-annak a matay a kadduak dagiti Filisteo!” Induronna iti amin a pigsana, ket narba ti pasdek ken naigabor daytoy kadagiti mangiturturay ken iti amin a tattao nga adda idiay. Isu a dagiti natay a napatayna idi matay isuna ket ad-adu ngem iti pinapatayna bayat iti panagbiagna.
31 Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down. They took him, brought him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial place of Manoah, his father. Samson had judged Israel for twenty years.
Ket simmalog dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki ken amin nga adda iti balay ni amana, ket innalada isuna, ken insublida ket intanemda isuna iti nagbaetan ti Zora ken Estaol, iti lugar a nakaitaneman ni Manoa, nga amana. Nagbalin ni Samson nga ukom iti Israel bayat ti duapulo a tawen.
