Mwet Nununku 16
1 Sie len ah Samson el som nu Gaza, sie siti lun mwet Philistia. Ingo el liyauk sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac el utyak ac motulla yorol ke fong sac.
And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
2 Ke mwet Gaza elos lohng lah Samson el oasr we, elos som raunela acn sac ac soanel ke mutunpot lun siti sac. Elos misla ke fong nufon sac ac fahk, “Soano nu ke lenelik, na kut fah unilya.”
[And it was told] the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they surrounded [him], and laid wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning light we will kill him.
3 Tusruktu Samson el oan nwe infulwen fong, na el tukakek, tulakunla srungul ke mutunpot sac, wi sru lukwa ac sukan kaul mutunoa. El lippisauk ma inge ac usak nwe ke mangon eol soko oan ngeti nu Hebron.
And Samson lay till midnight; and he arose at midnight, and seized the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and tore them up with the bar, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
4 Tukun ma inge, Samson el lungseyak sie mutan su muta Infahlfal Sorek. Inen mutan sac pa Delilah.
And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Leum limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos som nu yurin mutan sac ac fahk, “Srike lah kom ac ku in oru elan fahkot lah mea oru ku se lal inge, ac mea kut ku in oru tuh kut in kutangulla ac kaprilya ac kunausla kuiyal. Kais sie sesr ac fah sot nu sum sie tausin siofok ipin silver.”
And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces.
6 Na Delilah el som ac fahk nu sel Samson, “Fahkma nu sik lah mea se oru ku se lom ingan. Mwet se fin lungse kaprikomi ac kunausla kuiyom, el ac oru fuka?”
Then Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what is thy great strength, and with what thou mightest be bound to overpower thee.
7 Ac Samson el fahk, “Mwet se fin kapriyuwi ke ah in pisr itkosr su srakna sasu ac soenna paola, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
And Samson said to her, If they should bind me with seven fresh cords which have not been dried, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Na leum lun mwet Philistia elos use ah in pisr na sasu itkosr su soenna paola, ac sang nu sel Delilah, ac el sang kaprilya Samson.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Delilah el tuh okanla kutu mwet ke sie pac infukil, na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Na Samson el wotyalik ah in pisr inge oana ke turet soko ac wotelik ke ac pusralla e uh. Ouinge elos tiana konauk lah ku lal tuku ya me.
Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known.
10 Na Delilah el fahk nu sel Samson, “Liye, kom tiana kaskas pwaye nu sik, a kom aklalfonyeyu! Nunak munas, fahk nu sik lah ac orek fuka in kapiri kom.”
And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mightest be bound.
11 Na Samson el fahk mu, “Mwet fin kapriyuwi ke sucl sasu ma soenna orekmakinyuk, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes, with which no work has been done, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Ouinge Delilah el sang kutu sucl sasu kaprilya. Na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” (Oasr na mwet soano ke sie pac infukil.) Na Samson el sifilpa wotyalik sucl ekasr ah oana turet uh.
And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
13 Na Delilah el sifilpa fahk nu sel Samson, “Kom srakna aklalfonyeyu ac kikiap nu sik. Fahkma lah ac orek fuka in kapiri kom.” Samson el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Kom fin orani aunsuf nu ke srup itkosr ac sang otwela nu ke sie mwe orek nuknuk, ac sang sak in mwe otwot soko ah, ac itungya, na nga ac munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 Na Delilah el oru tuh Samson elan motulla, na el orani aunsifal nu ke srup itkosr, ac otwela nu ke mwe orek nuknuk, ac itungya ke sak in mwe otwot sac, na el wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Na Samson el ngutalik ac tulakunla aunsifal liki mwe orek nuknuk sac.
And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web.
15 Na Delilah el fahk nu sel, “Efu ku kom fahk mu kom lungse nga, a kom tiana fahk ke insiom na pwaye— Kom kiapweyula pacl tolu, a kom tiana akkalemye lah mea oru ku se lom ingan.”
Then she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou mocked me, and hast not told me in what is thy great strength.
16 El kwafe ouinge nu sel len nukewa, nwe ke na Samson el arulana ulla sel,
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 ac el tari na fahk na pwaye ma el siyuk sel ah. El mu, “Wangin sie pacl insifuk kalkulla. Ke nga isusla elos sriyula nu sin God tuh nga in sie mwet Nazirite. Fin kalkulla sifuk, na ku luk uh ac wanginla, ac nga ac fah munasla oana mwet nukewa.”
and he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I am a Nazarite of God from my mother's womb; if I should be shaven, then my strength would go from me, and I should be weak, and be like all mankind.
18 Ke Delilah el akilen lah Samson el kaskas pwaye nu sel, na el sapla nu sin leum lun mwet Philistia ac fahk, “Sifilpa foloko. El akkalemye na pwaye ma nukewa nu sik.” Ouinge elos tuku ac us mani inpaolos.
And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
19 Delilah el akmotulyal Samson finyepal, na el sap sie mwet ah in kalla sripin aunsuf itkosr ke sifal. Na Delilah el mutawauk in akkasrkusrakyal, ac ku lal Samson mutawauk wanginla lukel.
And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him.
20 Na mutan sac wowo ac fahk, “Samson, mwet Philistia pa tuku inge!” Ke el ngutalik, el nunku mu el ac sukosok oana meet ah. Tusruktu el tiana etu lah LEUM GOD El som lukel.
And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him.
21 Mwet Philistia elos sruokilya, ac tipalla atronmutal, ac usalla nu Gaza. Elos kaprilya ke mwe kapir bronze ac usalla tuh elan orekma ke mwe ilil se in presin ah.
And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house.
22 Na aunsifal sifilpa mutawauk in kapak.
But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
23 Leum lun mwet Philistia elos fahsreni tuh elos in engan ac kisakin mwe kisa lulap nu sel Dagon, god lalos. Elos on ac fahk, “God lasr el eisalma Samson, mwet lokoalok lasr, nu inpaosr.”
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.
24 Ke mwet ah liyal, elos kaksakin god lalos ac fahk, “Mwet lokoalok lasr su kunausla acn sesr ac uniya mwet puspis lasr, god lasr el eisalma nu inpaosr.”
And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain.
25 Ke yohk engan lalos ah, elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Usalu Samson elan akpwarye kut.” Na elos usalu Samson liki presin ac sap elan tu inmasrlon sru lulap ah, ac akpwaryalos.
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 played before them; and they set him between the pillars.
26 Samson el fahk nu sin tulik se ma pwanul ah, “Pwenyula nu yen ma nga ac ku in kahlya sru ma loango lohm uh ngan mau ku in fungla kac.”
And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Let loose of me, and suffer me to feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
27 Lohm sac tingtingi ke mukul ac mutan. Leum lun mwet Philistia kewa muta pac we, ac apkuran in tolu tausin mukul ac mutan elos muta fin mangon lohm ah ngeti liye ma Samson el oru ah.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.
28 Na Samson el pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nunak munas esamyu. O God, nga kwafe sum tuh kom in sifilpa ase ku nu sik ke pacl sefanna lula inge, tuh nga fah ku in foloksak nu sin mwet Philistia inge ke po sefanna, ke sripen atronmutuk.”
And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may take one vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 Na Samson el saplakang nu ke sru lulap lukwa ma oan infulwa mwe loango lohm sac. El filiya la paol ke soko, ac la nu ke soko, ac mutawauk in sinukun,
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood (and he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and the other with his left.
30 ac el wowoyak ac fahk, “Lela nga in misa wi mwet Philistia inge!” Na el sang kuiyal nufon sinukun sru ah, na lohm sac putati nu fin leum limekosr ac mwet saya nukewa. Ouinge, pisen mwet el uniya ke el misa ah alukela pisen mwet el tuh uniya ke pacl el moul ah.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself with might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.
31 Tamulel lal ac mwet nukewa in sou lun papa tumal ah elos tuku in eis manol. Elos folokunla ac piknilya ke kulyuk lal Manoah, papa tumal ah, inmasrlon Zorah ac Eshtaol. Samson el tuh mwet nununku lun mwet Israel ke yac longoul.
And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
