사사기 16
1 삼손이 가사에 가서 거기서 한 기생을 보고 그에게로 들어갔더니
He also went into Gaza. And there he saw a harlot woman, and he entered to her.
2 혹이 가사 사람에게 고하여 가로되 `삼손이 여기 왔다' 하매 곧 그를 에워싸고 밤새도록 성문에 매복하고 밤새도록 종용히 하며 이르기를 `새벽이 되거든 그를 죽이리라' 하였더라
And when the Philistines had heard of this, and it had become well known among them, that Samson had entered the city, they surrounded him, placing guards at the gate of the city. And there they were keeping watch all night in silence, so that, in the morning, they might kill him as he was going out.
3 삼손이 밤 중까지 누웠다가 그 밤 중에 일어나 성문짝들과 두 설주와 빗장을 빼어 그것을 모두 어깨에 메고 헤브론 앞산 꼭대기로 가니라
But Samson slept until the middle of the night, and rising up from there, he took both doors from the gate, with their posts and bars. And laying them upon his shoulders, he carried them to the top of the hill that looks toward Hebron.
4 이 후에 삼손이 소렉 골짜기의 들릴라라 이름하는 여인을 사랑하매
After these things, he loved a woman who was living in the valley of Sorek. And she was called Delilah.
5 블레셋 사람의 방백들이 그 여인에게로 올라와서 그에게 이르되 삼손을 꾀어서 무엇으로 말미암아 그 큰 힘이 있는지 우리가 어떻게 하면 그를 이기어서 결박하여 곤고케 할수 있을는지 알아보라 그리하면 우리가 각각 은 일천 일백을 네게 주리라
And the leaders of the Philistines went to her, and they said: “Deceive him, and learn from him wherein lies his great strength, and how we may be able to overcome him and to impose restraints on him. And if you will do this, each one of us will give you one thousand one hundred silver coins.”
6 들릴라가 삼손에게 말하되 `청컨대 당신의 큰 힘이 무엇으로 말미암아 있으며 어떻게 하면 능히 당신을 결박하여 곤고케 할 수 있을는지 내게 말하라'
Therefore, Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me, I beg you, wherein lies your very great strength, and with what might you be bound, so that you could not break free?”
7 삼손이 그에게 이르되 `만일 마르지 아니한 푸른 칡 일곱으로 나를 결박하면 내가 약하여져서 다른 사람과 같으리라'
And Samson answered her, “If I will be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still damp, I will be weak like other men.”
8 블레셋 사람의 방백들이 마르지 아니한 푸른 칡 일곱을 여인에게로 가져오매 그가 그것으로 삼손을 결박하고
And the princes of the Philistines brought to her seven cords, such as he had described. And she bound him with these.
9 이미 사람을 내실에 매복시켰으므로 삼손에게 말하되 `삼손이여, 블레셋 사람이 당신에게 미쳤느니라'하니 삼손이 그 칡 끊기를 불탄 삼실을 끊음같이 하였고 그 힘의 근본은 여전히 알지 못하니라
And so, those hiding in ambush with her, in the bedroom, were expecting the end of the matter. And she cried out to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he broke the cords, as one would break a thread of flax, twisted for cutting and singed by fire. And so it was not known wherein lay his strength.
10 들릴라가 삼손에게 이르되 `보라 당신이 나를 희롱하여 내게 거짓말을 하였도다 청컨대 무엇으로 하면 당신을 결박할 수 있을는지 이제는 네게 말하라'
And Delilah said to him: “Behold, you have mocked me, and you have spoken a falsehood. But at least now, tell me with what you may be bound.”
11 삼손이 그에게 이르되 `만일 쓰지 아니한 새 줄로 나를 결박하면 내가 약하여져서 다른 사람과 같으리라'
And he answered her, “If I will be bound with new cords, which have never been used, I will be weak and like other men.”
12 들릴라가 새 줄을 취하고 그것으로 그를 결박하고 그에게 이르되 삼손이여 블레셋 사람이 당신에게 미쳤느니라 하니 삼손이 팔 위의 줄 끊기를 실을 끊음같이 하였고 그 때에도 사람이 내실에 매복하였였더라
Again, Delilah tied him with these, and she cried out, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For an ambush had been prepared in the bedroom. But he broke the bindings like the filaments of a web.
13 들릴라가 삼손에게 이르되 `당신이 이때까지 나를 희롱하여 내게 거짓말을 하였도다 내가 무엇으로 하면 당신을 결박할 수 있을는지 내게 말하라' 삼손이 그에게 이르되 `그대가 만일 나의 머리털 일곱 가닥을 위선에 섞어 짜면 되리라'
And Delilah spoke to him again: “How long will you deceive me and tell me falsehoods? Reveal with what you ought to be bound.” And Samson responded to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with a loom, and if you tie these around a spike and fix it to the ground, I will be weak.”
14 들릴라가 바디로 그 머리털을 단단히 짜고 그에게 이르되 `삼손이여, 블레셋 사람이 당신에게 미쳤느니라' 하니 삼손이 잠을 깨어 직조틀의 바디와 위선을 다 빼어내니라
And when Delilah had done this, she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson.” And arising from sleep, he withdrew the spike with the hairs and the weaving.
15 들릴라가 삼손에게 이르되 `당신의 마음이 내게 있지 아니하면서 당신이 어찌 나를 사랑한다 하느뇨? 당신이 이 세번 나를 희롱하고 당신 큰 힘이 무엇으로 말미암아 있는 것을 말하지 아니하였도다' 하며
And Delilah said to him: “How can you say that you love me, when your soul is not with me? You have lied to me on three occasions, and you are not willing to reveal wherein lies your very great strength.”
16 날마다 그 말로 그를 재촉하여 조르매 삼손의 마음이 번뇌하여 죽을 지경이라
And when she had been very troublesome to him, and over many days had continually stayed nearby, giving him no time to rest, his soul was faint, and he was weary, even unto death.
17 삼손이 진정을 토하여 그에게 이르되 `내 머리에는 삭도를 대지 아니하였나니 이는 내가 모태에서 하나님의 나실인이 되었음이라 만일 내 머리가 밀리우면 내 힘이 내게서 떠나고 나는 약하여져서 다른 사람과 같으리라'
Then disclosing the truth of the matter, he said to her: “Iron has never been drawn across my head, for I am a Nazirite, that is, I have been consecrated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head will be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I will be faint and will be like other men.”
18 들릴라가 삼손의 진정을 다 토함을 보고 보내어 블레셋 사람의 방백들을 불러 가로되 `삼손이 내게 진정을 토하였으니 이제 한번만 올라오라' 블레셋 방백들이 손에 은을 가지고 여인에게로 올라오니라
Then, seeing that he had confessed to her his whole soul, she sent to the leaders of the Philistines and ordered: “Come up just once more. For now he has opened his heart to me.” And they went up, taking with them the money that they had promised.
19 들릴라가 삼손으로 자기 무릎을 베고 자게 하고 사람을 불러 그 머리털 일곱 가닥을 밀고 괴롭게 하여 본즉 그 힘이 없어졌더라
But she made him sleep upon her knees, and recline his head upon her bosom. And she called a barber, and he shaved his seven locks of hair. And she began to push him away, and to repel him from herself. For immediately his strength departed from him.
20 들릴라가 가로되 `삼손이여, 블레셋 사람이 당신에게 미쳤느니라' 하니 삼손이 잠을 깨며 이르기를 `내가 전과 같이 나가서 몸을 떨치리라' 하여도 여호와께서 이미 자기를 떠나신 줄을 깨닫지 못하였더라
And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind, “I will break away and shake myself free, just as I did before.” For he did not know that the Lord had withdrawn from him.
21 블레셋 사람이 그를 잡아 그 눈을 빼고 끌고 가사에 내려가 놋줄로 매고 그로 옥 중에서 맷돌을 돌리게 하였더라
And when the Philistines had seized him, they immediately plucked out his eyes. And they led him, bound in chains, to Gaza. And enclosing him in a prison, they made him work a millstone.
22 그의 머리털이 밀리운 후에 다시 자라기 시작하니라
And now his hair began to grow back.
23 블레셋 사람의 방백이 가로되 `우리의 신이 우리 원수 삼손을 우리 손에 붙였다' 하고 다 모여 그 신 다곤에게 큰 제사를 드리고 즐거워하고
And the leaders of the Philistines convened as one, so that they might offer great sacrifices to Dagon, their god. And they feasted, saying, “Our god has delivered our enemy, Samson, into our hands.”
24 백성들도 삼손을 보았으므로 가로되 `우리 토지를 헐고 우리 많은 사람을 죽인 원수를 우리의 신이 우리 손에 붙였다' 하고 자기 신을 찬송하며
Then, too, the people, seeing this, praised their god, and they said the same, “Our god has delivered our adversary into our hands: the one who destroyed our land and who killed very many.”
25 그들의 마음이 즐거울 때에 이르되 `삼손을 불러다가 우리를 위하여 재주를 부리게 하자' 하고 옥에서 삼손을 불러내매 삼손이 그들을 위하여 재주를 부리니라 그들이 삼손을 두 기둥 사이에 세웠더니
And rejoicing in their celebration, having now taken food, they instructed that Samson be called, and that he be mocked before them. And having been brought from prison, he was mocked before them. And they caused him to stand between two pillars.
26 삼손이 자기 손을 붙든 소년에게 이르되 `나로 이 집을 버틴 기둥을 찾아서 그것을 의지하게 하라' 하니라
And he said to the boy who was guiding his steps, “Permit me to touch the pillars, which support the entire house, and to lean against them, so that I may rest a little.”
27 그 집에는 남녀가 가득하니 블레셋 모든 방백도 거기 있고 지붕에 있는 남녀도 삼천명 가량이라 다 삼손의 재주 부리는 것을 보더라
Now the house was full of men and women. And all the leaders of the Philistines were there, as well as about three thousand persons, of both sexes, on the roof and in the upper level of the house, who were watching Samson being mocked.
28 삼손이 여호와께 부르짖어 가로되 `주 여호와여 구하옵나니 나를 생각하옵소서 하나님이여 구하옵나니 이번만 나로 강하게 하사 블레셋 사람이 나의 두 눈을 뺀 원수를 단번에 갚게 하옵소서!' 하고
Then, calling upon the Lord, he said, “O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, so that I may avenge myself against my enemies, and so that I may receive one vengeance for the deprivation of my two eyes.”
29 집을 버틴 두 가운데 기둥을 하나는 왼손으로, 하나는 오른손으로 껴 의지하고
And taking hold of both the pillars, on which the house rested, and holding one with his right hand and the other with his left,
30 가로되 `블레셋 사람과 함께 죽기를 원하노라' 하고 힘을 다하여 몸을 굽히매 그 집이 곧 무너져 그 안에 있는 모든 방백과 온 백성에게 덮이니 삼손이 죽을 때에 죽인 자가 살았을 때에 죽인 자보다 더욱 많았더라
he said, “May my life die with the Philistines.” And when he had shaken the pillars strongly, the house fell upon all the leaders, and the rest of the multitude who were there. And he killed many more in his death than he had killed before in his life.
31 그의 형제와 아비의 온 집이 다 내려가서 그 시체를 취하여 가지고 올라와서 소라와 에스다올 사이 그 아비 마노아의 장지에 장사하니라 삼손이 이스라엘 사사로 이십년을 지내었더라
Then his brothers and all his relatives, going down, took his body, and they buried it between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying place of his father, Manoah. And he judged Israel for twenty years.
