Judges 16
1 And Samson goeth to Gaza, and seeth there a woman, a harlot, and goeth in unto her;
I haere ano a Hamahona ki Kaha, a ka kitea e ia tetahi wahine kairau i reira, a haere atu ana ki a ia.
2 [it is told] to the Gazathites, saying, 'Samson hath come in hither;' and they go round and lay wait for him all the night at the gate of the city, and keep themselves silent all the night, saying, 'Till the light of the morning — then we have slain him.'
A ka korerotia ki nga Kahi, ka meatia, Kua tae mai a Hamahona ki konei. Na ka karapotia ia e ratou, ka whanga hoki ratou ki a ia a pau noa te po i te kuwaha o te pa. Na takoto puku ana ratou a pau noa, taua po; i mea hoki, Waiho kia awatea, ka pa tu ai tatou i a ia.
3 And Samson lieth down till the middle of the night, and riseth in the middle of the night, and layeth hold on the doors of the gate of the city, and on the two side posts, and removeth them with the bar, and putteth on his shoulders, and taketh them up unto the top of the hill, which [is] on the front of Hebron.
Heoi takoto ana a Hamahona a turuawaenga po; katahi ia ka whakatika i waenganui po, a ka mau i te tatau o te kuwaha o te pa, ki nga pou hoki e rua: na unuhia ake ana, ana tutaki, ana aha; a hikitia ana ki runga ki ona pokohiwi, amohia ana ki te t ihi o te maunga i te ritenga atu o Heperona.
4 And it cometh to pass afterwards that he loveth a woman in the valley of Sorek, and her name [is] Delilah,
A, muri iho ka aroha ia ki tetahi wahine i te awaawa o Horeke, ko Terira tona ingoa.
5 and the princes of the Philistines come up unto her, and say to her, 'Entice him, and see wherein his great power [is], and wherein we are able for him — and we have bound him to afflict him, and we — we give to thee, each one, eleven hundred silverlings.'
Na ka haere nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini ki taua wahine, ka mea ki a ia, Whakawaia ia kia kitea ai no hea tona kaha nui, a ma te aha ia e taea ai e matou, kia herea ai ia e matou, kia whakaitia: a kotahi mano kotahi rau nga hiriwa e hoatu e ten ei, e tenei o matou ki a koe.
6 And Delilah saith unto Samson, 'Declare, I pray thee, to me, wherein thy great power [is], and wherewith thou art bound, to afflict thee.'
Na ka mea a Terira ki a Hamahona, Tena, whakaaturia mai ki ahau no hea tou kaha nui, ma te aha hoki e taea ai koe te here, kia whakaitia ai koe?
7 And Samson saith unto her, 'If they bind me with seven green withs which have not been dried, then I have been weak, and have been as one of the human race.'
Na ka mea a Hamahona ki a ia, Ki te herea ahau e ratou ki nga aka hou e whitu, kahore nei i whakamaroketia, katahi ahau ka kahakore, ka rite ki tetahi atu tangata.
8 And the princes of the Philistines bring up to her seven green withs which have not been dried, and she bindeth him with them.
Na ka maua e nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini etahi aka hou e whitu ki a ia, he mea kahore ano i whakamaroketia; a herea ana ia e ia ki aua mea.
9 And the ambush is abiding with her in an inner chamber, and she saith unto him, 'Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and he breaketh the withs as a thread of tow is broken in its smelling fire, and his power hath not been known.
Na tera i taua wahine, i te ruma i roto, etahi tangata e tauwhanga ana. Na ka mea ia ki a ia, E Hamahona, ko nga Pirihitini, ka eke ki a koe! Na motumotuhia ana e ia nga aka: koia ano kei te miro muka e motu ana ina pa ki te ahi. Heoi kihai i moh iotia tona kaha.
10 And Delilah saith unto Samson, 'Lo, thou hast played upon me, and speakest unto me lies; now, declare, I pray thee, to me, wherewith thou art bound.'
Na ka mea a Terira ki a Hamahona, Nana, kua tinihangatia ahau e koe, kua teka koe ki ahau; tena ra, whakaaturia mai ki ahau ma te aha koe e mau ai te here?
11 And he saith unto her, 'If they certainly bind me with thick bands, new ones, by which work hath not been done, then I have been weak, and have been as one of the human race.'
A ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te herea iana ahau ki etahi taura hou kahore ano i meatia ki te mahi, katahi ahau ka kahakore, ka rite ki tetahi atu tangata.
12 And Delilah taketh thick bands, new ones, and bindeth him with them, and saith unto him, 'Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and the ambush is abiding in an inner chamber, and he breaketh them from off his arms as a thread.
Na ka mau a Terira ki etahi taura hou, ka here i a ia; a ka mea ki a ia, E Hamahona, ko nga Pirihitini, ka eke ki a koe! Na i te ruma i roto nga kaiwhanga e noho ana. Na motuhia ana e ia i ona ringa, ano he miro.
13 And Delilah saith unto Samson, 'Hitherto thou hast played upon me, and dost speak unto me lies; declare to me wherewith thou art bound.' And he saith unto her, 'If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.'
Na ka mea a Terira ki a Hamahona, He tinihanga tau ki ahau, he korero teka a tae mai nei: whakaaturia ki ahau ma te aha koe e mau ai te here? Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te whatua e koe nga makawe e whitu o toku matenga ki roto ki te whenu.
14 And she fixeth [it] with the pin, and saith unto him, 'Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and he awaketh out of his sleep, and journeyeth with the pin of the weaving machine, and with the web.
Na titia iho ana e ia ki te titi, a ka mea ki a ia, E Hamahona, ko nga Pirihitini ka eke ki a koe! Na ko tona ohonga ake i tana moe, ka unuhia te titi o te mea whatu me te whenu ano.
15 And she saith unto him, 'How dost thou say, I have loved thee, and thy heart is not with me? these three times thou hast played upon me, and hast not declared to me wherein thy great power [is].'
Na ka mea te wahine ki a ia, He aha koe i mea ai, E aroha ana ahau ki a koe, kahore nei hoki tou ngakau i riro mai i ahau? Ka toru enei mamingatanga au i ahau, kihai ano hoki i whakaaturia e koe ki ahau no hea tou kaha nui.
16 And it cometh to pass, because she distressed him with her words all the days, and doth urge him, and his soul is grieved to death,
Nawai a kahore he ra i kapea tana aki i a ia ki ana kupu, me te tohe ki a ia, a mate noa iho tona wairua i te hoha;
17 that he declareth to her all his heart, and saith to her, 'A razor hath not gone up on my head, for a Nazarite to God I [am] from the womb of my mother; if I have been shaven, then hath my power turned aside from me, and I have been weak, and have been as any of the human race.'
Katahi ka whakaaturia e ia ki a ia tona ngakau katoa, ka mea ki a ia, Kahore ano i pa noa he heu ki toku mahunga; he Natari hoki ahau ki a Ihowa no te kopu mai ano o toku whaea: ki te heua ahau, katahi ka riro atu toku kaha i ahau, a ka kahakore ahau, ka rite ki te mano o te tangata.
18 And Delilah seeth that he hath declared to her all his heart, and she sendeth and calleth for the princes of the Philistines, saying, 'Come up this time, for he hath declared to me all his heart;' and the princes of the Philistines have come up unto her, and bring up the money in their hand.
A, no te kitenga o Terira kua whakaaturia tona ngakau katoa ki a ia, ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini, hei mea, Haere mai ano koa aianei, kua whakaaturia hoki e ia tona ngakau katoa ki ahau. Na ka haere mai nga r angatira o nga Pirihitini ki a ia, me te mau mai i te moni i o ratou ringa.
19 and she maketh him sleep on her knees, and calleth for a man, and shaveth the seven locks of his head, and beginneth to afflict him, and his power turneth aside from off him;
Na ka whakamoea ia e ia ki runga i ona turi, a ka karanga ki tetahi tangata, a heua ana nga makawe e whitu o tona mahunga; na ka timata tana whakaiti i a ia, a mahue ake ia i tona kaha.
20 and she saith, 'Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and he awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, 'I go out as time by time, and shake myself;' and he hath not known that Jehovah hath turned aside from off him.
Na ka mea tera, E Hamahona ko nga Pirihitini ka eke ki a koe! Na maranga ana ia i tana moe, ka mea, Ka haere ahau ki waho, ka pera me mua ra, ruru ai i ahau. Heoi kihai ia i matau kua mawehe atu a Ihowa i a ia.
21 And the Philistines seize him, and pick out his eyes, and bring him down to Gaza, and bind him with two brazen fetters; and he is grinding in the prison-house.
Na ka hopukia ia e nga Pirihitini, a tikarohia ana ona kanohi; a kawea ana ia e ratou ki raro, ki Kaha; na herea ana ia ki nga mekameka parahi; a he huri mira tana mahi i roto i te whare herehere.
22 And the hair of his head beginneth to shoot up, when he hath been shaven,
Heoi kua timata ano nga makawe o tona mahunga te tupu i muri i tona heunga.
23 and the princes of the Philistines have been gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; and they say, 'Our god hath given into our hand Samson our enemy.'
Na ka huihui nga rangatira o nga Pirihitini ki te patu i tetahi whakahere nui ki a Rakona, ki to ratou atua, ki te whakamanamana ano hoki: i mea hoki, Kua homai to tatou hoariri a Hamahona e to tatou atua ki to tatou ringa.
24 And the people see him, and praise their god, for they said, 'Our god hath given in our hand our enemy, and he who is laying waste our land, and who multiplied our wounded.'
A, no te kitenga o te iwi i a ia, ka whakamoemiti ki to ratou atua: i mea hoki, Kua homai to tatou hoariri e to tatou atua ki to tatou ringa, te tangata nana to tatou whenua i huna, he tokomaha hoki o tatou i patua e ia.
25 And it cometh to pass, when their heart [is] glad, that they say, 'Call for Samson, and he doth play before us;' and they call for Samson out of the prison-house, and he playeth before them, and they cause him to stand between the pillars.
A i o ratou ngakau e koa ana, ka mea ratou, Karangatia a Hamahona, hei mea takaro ma tatou. Katahi ka karangatia a Hamahona i roto i te whare herehere, a takaro ana ia i to ratou aroaro: na ka whakaturia ia e ratou ki waenganui o nga pou.
26 And Samson saith unto the young man who is keeping hold on his hand, 'Let me alone, and let me feel the pillars on which the house is established, and I lean upon them.'
Na ka mea a Hamahona ki te tamaiti i pupuri nei i a ia ki tona ringa, Tukua ahau kia whawha ki nga pou tokomanawa o te whare hei okiokinga atu moku.
27 And the house hath been full of men and of women, and thither [are] all the princes of the Philistines, and on the roof [are] about three thousand men and women, who are looking on the playing of Samson.
Na, ki tonu te whare i te tane, i te wahine; i reira ano hoki nga rangatira katoa o nga Pirihitini: i runga ano i te tuanui me te mea e toru mano nga tane, nga wahine, e matakitaki ana ki nga mahi takaro a Hamahona.
28 And Samson calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me, I pray Thee, only this time, O God; and I am avenged — vengeance at once — because of my two eyes, on the Philistines.'
Katahi ka karanga a Hamahona ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, kia mahara ki ahau, whakakahangia hoki ahau, e te Atua, i tenei wa kotahi nei, kia ea tonu aianei ki runga i nga Pirihitini toku mate i oku kanohi e rua.
29 And Samson turneth aside [to] the two middle pillars, on which the house is established, and on which it is supported, [to] the one with his right hand, and one with his left;
Na hopukia atu ana e Hamahona nga pou tokomanawa e rua o waenga, i tu ai, i mau ai te whare, ko tetahi ki tona ringa matau, ko tetahi ki tona maui.
30 and Samson saith, 'Let me die with the Philistines,' and he inclineth himself powerfully, and the house falleth on the princes, and on all the people who [are] in it, and the dead whom he hath put to death in his death are more than those whom he put to death in his life.
Na ka mea a Hamahona, Kia mate tahi ahau me nga Pirihitini. Ko tona tino pikonga iho, me te whakapau ano i tona kaha; heoi hinga ana te whare ki runga ki nga rangatira, ki runga ano hoki ki te iwi katoa i roto. Heoi tini atu i ana i patu ai i to na oranga te hunga i mate i whakamatea nei e ia, i tona matenga.
31 And his brethren come down, and all the house of his father, and lift him up, and bring him up, and bury him between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoah his father; and he hath judged Israel twenty years.
Katahi ka haere iho ona teina ki raro, ratou ko te whare katoa o tona papa, a tangohia ana ia e ratou, kawea atu ana, tanumia ana ki waenganui o Toraha o Ehetaoro, ki te rua o Manoa, o tona papa. A e rua tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharai ra.
