1 Or, Samson alla à Gaza, et il y vit une courtisane, et entra chez elle.
And he went Samson Gaza towards and he saw there a woman a prostitute and he went into her.
2 Et on dit à ceux de Gaza: Samson est venu ici. Alors ils l'environnèrent, se tinrent en embuscade toute la nuit à la porte de la ville, et se tinrent tranquilles toute la nuit, en disant: Au point du jour, nous le tuerons.
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.
3 Mais Samson demeura couché jusqu'à minuit; et vers minuit il se leva, saisit les battants de la porte de la ville et les deux poteaux, et, les ayant enlevés avec la barre, il les mit sur ses épaules, et les porta au sommet de la montagne qui est en face d'Hébron.
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.
4 Après cela, il aima une femme dans la vallée de Sorek; elle se nommait Délila.
And it was after thus and he loved a woman in [the] valley of Sorek and name her [was] Delilah.
5 Et les princes des Philistins montèrent vers elle, et lui dirent: Flatte-le, et sache de lui en quoi consiste sa grande force, et comment nous pourrions le vaincre, afin que nous le liions pour le dompter; et nous te donnerons chacun mille et cent pièces d'argent.
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.
6 Délila dit donc à Samson: Dis-moi, je te prie, d'où vient ta grande force, et avec quoi il faudrait te lier pour te dompter.
And she said Delilah to Samson tell! please to me how? [is] strength your great and how? will you be bound to humble you.
7 Et Samson lui répondit: Si on me liait avec sept cordes fraîches, qui ne fussent point encore sèches, je deviendrais faible, et je serais comme un autre homme.
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.
8 Les princes des Philistins apportèrent à Délila sept cordes fraîches, qui n'étaient point encore sèches, et elle l'en lia.
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.
9 Or, des gens étaient en embuscade chez elle, dans une chambre; et elle lui dit: Les Philistins sont sur toi, Samson! Mais il rompit les cordes, comme se rompt un cordon d'étoupes lorsqu'il sent le feu; et le secret de sa force ne fut point connu.
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.
10 Puis Délila dit à Samson: Voici, tu t'es moqué de moi, et tu m'as dit des mensonges. Je te prie, déclare-moi maintenant avec quoi il faut te lier.
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.
11 Et il lui répondit: Si on me liait de grosses cordes neuves, dont on ne se serait jamais servi, je deviendrais faible, et je serais comme un autre homme.
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.
12 Délila prit donc de grosses cordes neuves, et elle lia Samson; puis elle lui dit: Les Philistins sont sur toi, Samson! Or des gens étaient en embuscade dans une chambre. Mais il rompit comme un fil les grosses cordes qu'il avait aux bras.
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.
13 Puis Délila dit à Samson: Jusqu'à présent tu t'es moqué de moi, et tu m'as dit des mensonges. Déclare-moi avec quoi il faudrait te lier. Et il lui dit: Ce serait si tu tissais sept tresses de ma tête dans la chaîne de ton métier.
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*)
14 Et elle les fixa par la cheville; et elle dit: Les Philistins sont sur toi, Samson! Mais il se réveilla de son sommeil, et arracha la cheville du métier avec le tissu.
(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.
15 Alors elle lui dit: Comment peux-tu dire: Je t'aime! Puisque ton cœur n'est point avec moi? Tu t'es moqué de moi trois fois, et tu ne m'as point déclaré d'où vient ta grande force.
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.
16 Et elle le pressait tous les jours par ses paroles, et le tourmentait, de sorte que son âme en était affligée jusqu'à la mort.
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.
17 Alors il lui ouvrit tout son cœur, et lui dit: Le rasoir n'a jamais passé sur ma tête; car je suis Nazarien de Dieu, dès le sein de ma mère. Si j'étais rasé, ma force m'abandonnerait, et je deviendrais faible, et je serais comme tout autre homme.
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.
18 Délila, voyant qu'il lui avait ouvert tout son cœur, envoya appeler les princes des Philistins, et leur fit dire: Montez cette fois; car il m'a ouvert tout son cœur. Les princes des Philistins montèrent donc vers elle, et apportèrent l'argent dans leurs mains.
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.
19 Et elle l'endormit sur ses genoux; et, ayant appelé un homme, elle lui fit raser sept tresses des cheveux de sa tête. Elle commença ainsi à le dompter, et sa force l'abandonna.
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.
20 Alors elle dit: Les Philistins sont sur toi, Samson! Et il s'éveilla de son sommeil, et dit: J'en sortirai comme les autres fois, et je me dégagerai de leurs mains. Mais il ne savait pas que l'Éternel s'était retiré de lui.
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.
21 Les Philistins le saisirent donc, et lui crevèrent les yeux. Ils le firent descendre à Gaza, et le lièrent de deux chaînes d'airain; et il tournait la meule dans la prison.
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)*)
22 Cependant les cheveux de sa tête recommencèrent à croître, depuis qu'il avait été rasé.
And it began [the] hair of head his to grow back when it had been shaved.
23 Or, les princes des Philistins s'assemblèrent pour offrir un grand sacrifice à Dagon, leur dieu, et pour se réjouir. Et ils dirent: Notre dieu a livré entre nos mains Samson, notre ennemi.
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.
24 Et quand le peuple le vit, ils célébrèrent leur dieu, en disant: Notre dieu a livré entre nos mains notre ennemi, le destructeur de notre pays, et celui qui en a tant tué d'entre nous.
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.
25 Or, comme ils avaient le cœur joyeux, ils dirent: Faites venir Samson, et qu'il nous divertisse. Ils appelèrent donc Samson et le tirèrent de la prison, et il jouait devant eux; et ils le firent tenir entre les piliers.
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.
26 Alors Samson dit au garçon qui le tenait par la main: Place-moi, et fais-moi toucher les piliers qui soutiennent la maison, afin que je m'y appuie.
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.
27 Or, la maison était pleine d'hommes et de femmes, et tous les princes des Philistins y étaient; il y avait même sur la plate-forme près de trois mille personnes, hommes et femmes, qui regardaient Samson jouer.
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.
28 Alors Samson invoqua l'Éternel, et dit: Seigneur Éternel, je te prie, souviens-toi de moi! ô Dieu, je te prie, fortifie-moi seulement cette fois, et que je me venge des Philistins pour la perte de mes deux yeux!
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.
29 Et Samson embrassa les deux piliers du milieu, sur lesquels la maison reposait, et il s'appuya contre eux; l'un était à sa droite et l'autre à sa gauche.
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.
30 Et il dit: Que je meure avec les Philistins! Puis il s'étendit de toute sa force, et la maison tomba sur les princes et sur tout le peuple qui y était. Et il fit mourir beaucoup plus de gens dans sa mort, qu'il n'en avait fait mourir pendant sa vie.
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.
31 Ensuite ses frères et toute la maison de son père descendirent, et l'emportèrent; et, étant remontés, ils l'ensevelirent entre Tsora et Eshthaol, dans le tombeau de Manoah son père. Il avait jugé Israël pendant vingt ans.
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].
