< Judges 16 >
1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in to 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 is come hither. And they encompassed [him], and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning when it is day we shall kill 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 the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill that [is] before 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 afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
После тога замилова девојку на потоку Сорику, којој беше име Далида.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us 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 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what thy great strength [lieth], and with what thou mayest be bound to afflict 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 to her, If they bind me with seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
А Самсон јој рече: Да ме свежу у седам гужава сирових неосушених, онда бих изгубио снагу и био као и други човек.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought to her seven green withs, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
И донесоше јој кнезови филистејски седам гужава сирових, још неосушених, и она га свеза њима.
9 (Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.) And she said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he broke the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
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 to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mayest 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 to her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were used, then shall I be weak, and be as another 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 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. (And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber.) And he broke them from 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 to Samson, hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me with what thou mayest be bound. And he said to her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
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 And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
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 to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart [is] not with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me in what thy great strength [lieth].
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 pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed to death;
И она му досађиваше својим речима сваки дан и наваљиваше на њ, и душа му пренеможе да умре.
17 That he told her all his heart, and said to her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I [have been] a Nazarite to God from my birth: if I be shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like 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 disclosed to me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought money 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 she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went 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 as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knew not that the LORD 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 But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison-house.
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 However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
А коса на глави његовој поче расти као што је била кад га обријаше.
23 Then the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
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 hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country; who slew many of us.
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 hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made them sport: and they set 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 to the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars upon which the house standeth, 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: and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there: and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld 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 And Samson called to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
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 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was supported, of the one with his right hand, and of 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 me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] in it. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which 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 his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. And he 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.
