< Judges 16 >

1 Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Gaza epai wapi amonaki mwasi moko ya ndumba, mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
2 The Gazites were told, “Samson is here!” They surrounded him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, “Wait until morning light; then we will kill him.”
Tango bato ya Gaza bayokaki sango ete Samison azali kati na engumba na bango, bazingelaki esika oyo Samison alalaki mpe basenzelaki butu mobimba, mpo na kozela ye na ekuke ya engumba. Na butu yango, baninganaki te mpe balobaki: « Tokoboma ye na tongo tango akobima. »
3 Samson lay until midnight, then arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
Kasi Samison alalaki wana kaka kino na kati-kati ya butu; bongo na ngonga ya zomi na mibale ya butu, alamukaki. Tango akomaki na ekuke ya engumba, asimbaki bizipelo na yango elongo na makonzi na yango mibale. Apikolaki yango elongo na libaya ya kokangela, atombolaki mpe atiaki yango na mapeka na ye, bongo amemaki yango kino na songe ya ngomba moke oyo etalana na engumba Ebron.
4 It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Sima na yango, Samison alingaki mwasi moko oyo azalaki kovanda na lubwaku ya Soreki; kombo na ye ezalaki « Dalila. »
5 The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”
Bakambi ya Filisitia bakendeki epai ya Dalila mpe balobaki na ye: « Solola na ye na maloba ya sukali mpo ete alakisa yo sekele ya makasi na ye mpe ndenge nini tokoki kolonga ye, mpo ete tokanga ye basinga mpe tosilisa ye makasi. Moko na moko kati na biso akopesa yo mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko na nkama moko. »
6 Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”
Dalila ayebisaki Samison: — Yebisa ngai sekele ya makasi na yo mpe ndenge nini bakoki kokanga yo basinga mpe kosilisa yo makasi.
7 Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”
Samison azongiselaki ye: — Soki bakangi ngai na basinga sambo ya mobesu, oyo nanu bakawusi te, nakokoma moto na bolembu lokola moto nyonso.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Boye, bakambi ya Filisitia bamemelaki Dalila basinga sambo ya mobesu, oyo nanu bakawusi te, mpe Dalila alingaki Samison basinga yango.
9 Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
Lokola bato oyo batindamaki mpo na kokanga ye bazalaki ya kobombama kati na ndako, Dalila abelelaki: « Samison, bato ya Filisitia bayei kobundisa yo! » Samison akataki na pete penza basinga yango ndenge basinga ya lino ekatanaka soki ezwi moto. Boye, basosolaki te sekele ya makasi na ye.
10 Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”
Dalila alobaki na Samison: — Osakani na ngai mpe okosi ngai! Sik’oyo, yebisa ngai eloko nini bakoki kosalela mpo na kokanga yo?
11 He said to her, “If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”
Samison alobaki: — Soki bakangi ngai na basinga ya sika oyo nanu basaleli te, nakokoma moto na bolembu lokola moto nyonso.
12 So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, then said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.
Dalila azwaki basinga ya sika mpe akangaki na yango Samison. Bongo abelelaki: « Samison, bato ya Filisitia bayei kobundisa yo! » Atako bato oyo batindamaki mpo na kokanga ye bazalaki lisusu ya kobombama kati na ndako, Samison akataki kaka lokola singa moko pamba, basinga oyo bakangaki ye.
13 Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”
Boye Dalila alobaki na Samison: — Kino sik’oyo, ozali kaka kosakana na ngai mpe kokosa ngai! Yebisa ngai ndenge nini bakoki kokanga yo basinga. Samison azongisaki: — Soki okangi suki sambo ya moto na ngai na singa oyo batongelaka bilamba, mpe soki okangisi yango na likonzi, nakokoma moto na bolembu lokola moto nyonso. Boye tango Samison azalaki nanu kolala, Dalila azwaki suki sambo ya moto na ye, akangaki yango na singa oyo batongelaka bilamba
14 She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.
mpe akangisaki yango na likonzi. Dalila abelelaki lisusu Samison: « Samison, bato ya Filisitia bayei kobundisa yo! » Samison alamukaki na pongi na ye mpe apikolaki likonzi elongo na singa oyo batongelaka bilamba.
15 She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”
Dalila alobaki na ye: « Ndenge nini okoki koloba ete olingaka ngai tango motema na yo ezali elongo na ngai te! Oyo ezali mbala na yo ya misato ya kosakana na ngai, pamba te oyebisi ngai te sekele ya makasi na yo. »
16 When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
Lokola, mokolo na mokolo, Dalila azalaki kotungisa Samison na maloba na ye mpe kozangisa ye kimia, Samison amonaki ete motungisi yango eleki ye ndelo.
17 He told her all his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”
Boye, ayebisaki Dalila makambo nyonso. Alobaki: « Suki na ngai ekatamaka te, pamba te Nzambe abulisa ngai wuta na libumu ya mama na ngai. Soki kaka bakati ngai suki, makasi na ngai ekosila mpe nakokoma moto na bolembu lokola moto nyonso. »
18 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 has told me all his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.
Tango Dalila amonaki ete Samison ayebisi ye makambo nyonso, atindaki sango epai ya bakambi ya Filisitia. Alobaki: « Boya lisusu, ayebisi ngai makambo nyonso. » Bakambi ya Filisitia bazongaki epai ya Dalila na mbongo ya bibende na maboko na bango.
19 She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Dalila alalisaki Samison na mipende na ye, abengaki mobali moko mpo na kokata ye suki sambo ya moto na ye. Samison akomaki kolemba, mpe makasi na ye esilaki.
20 She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” He awoke out of his sleep, and said, “I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the LORD had departed from him.
Dalila abelelaki Samison: « Samison, bato ya Filisitia bayei kobundisa yo! » Samison alamukaki na pongi na ye mpe amilobelaki: « Nakosala ndenge kaka nasalaka liboso mpe nakokangolama na ngai. » Kasi ayebaki te ete Yawe alongwaki kati na ye.
21 The Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
Bato ya Filisitia bakangaki ye, batobolaki ye miso, bamemaki ye na Gaza mpe bakangaki ye minyololo ya bibende ya bronze. Akomaki konika bambuma ya ble na enikelo ya libanga kati na boloko.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Kasi suki ya moto na ye ekomaki lisusu kokola wuta tango bakataki ye yango.
23 The lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.”
Bakambi ya Filisitia basanganaki mpo na kobonza mbeka monene epai ya nzambe na bango, Dagoni, mpe kosala feti. Balobaki: « Nzambe na biso akabi monguna na biso, Samison, na maboko na biso. »
24 When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, “Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand.”
Tango bato bamonaki Samison, bakumisaki nzambe na bango, balobaki: « Nzambe na biso akabi na maboko na biso, monguna na biso, oyo azalaki kobebisa mokili na biso mpe koboma bato ebele kati na biso. »
25 When their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may entertain us.” They called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. They set him between the pillars;
Wana bazalaki kosepela, bagangaki: « Bomemela biso Samison mpo ete asepelisa biso! » Babimisaki Samison na boloko mpe akomaki kosala masano liboso na bango. Tango batelemisaki ye na kati-kati ya makonzi ya tempelo na bango,
26 and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, “Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them.”
Samison alobaki na mosali oyo asimbaki loboko na ye: « Tia ngai na esika oyo nakoki kosimba makonzi oyo esimbi tempelo mpo ete nalalela yango. »
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who saw while Samson performed.
Nzokande, tempelo ezalaki ya kotonda na mibali, basi mpe bakambi nyonso ya Filisitia. Na likolo ya ndako, ezalaki na bato pene nkoto misato, mibali mpe basi, oyo bazalaki kotala masano oyo Samison azalaki kosala.
28 Samson called to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
Samison abondelaki Yawe: « Nkolo Yawe, Yo oyo osalaka nyonso oyo olingi, kanisa ngai! Nabondeli Yo, Nzambe: Pesa ngai makasi mbala oyo lisusu, mpe pesa ngai nzela ete, na mbala moko, nazongisa mabe na mabe epai ya bato oyo ya Filisitia mpo na miso na ngai mibale. »
29 Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested and leaned on them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left.
Samison asimbaki makonzi nyonso mibale ya kati-kati, oyo esimbaki tempelo, mpe ayekamelaki yango, loboko ya mobali na likonzi moko, mpe loboko ya mwasi na likonzi mosusu.
30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.
Bongo Samison alobaki: « Tika ete nakufa elongo na bato ya Filisitia! » Bongo atindikaki na makasi na ye nyonso, mpe tempelo ekweyelaki bakambi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna. Boye, kati na kufa na ye, abomaki bato ebele koleka na tango oyo azalaki na bomoi.
31 Then his brothers 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 burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
Bandeko na ye mpe libota nyonso ya tata na ye bayaki kozwa ebembe na ye. Bazongaki na yango mpe bakundaki ye kati na kunda ya tata na ye, Manoa, na kati ya bingumba Tsorea mpe Eshitaoli. Samison akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale.
