Bilombe 16
1 Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Gaza epai wapi amonaki mwasi moko ya ndumba, mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
And Samson went to Gazah, and saw there a harlot, and went in to her.
2 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. »
[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 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.
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 Sima na yango, Samison alingaki mwasi moko oyo azalaki kovanda na lubwaku ya Soreki; kombo na ye ezalaki « Dalila. »
And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 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. »
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 Dalila ayebisaki Samison: — Yebisa ngai sekele ya makasi na yo mpe ndenge nini bakoki kokanga yo basinga mpe kosilisa yo makasi.
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 Samison azongiselaki ye: — Soki bakangi ngai na basinga sambo ya mobesu, oyo nanu bakawusi te, nakokoma moto na bolembu lokola moto nyonso.
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 Boye, bakambi ya Filisitia bamemelaki Dalila basinga sambo ya mobesu, oyo nanu bakawusi te, mpe Dalila alingaki Samison basinga yango.
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 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.
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 Dalila alobaki na Samison: — Osakani na ngai mpe okosi ngai! Sik’oyo, yebisa ngai eloko nini bakoki kosalela mpo na kokanga yo?
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 Samison alobaki: — Soki bakangi ngai na basinga ya sika oyo nanu basaleli te, nakokoma moto na bolembu lokola moto nyonso.
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 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.
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 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
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 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.
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 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. »
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 Lokola, mokolo na mokolo, Dalila azalaki kotungisa Samison na maloba na ye mpe kozangisa ye kimia, Samison amonaki ete motungisi yango eleki ye ndelo.
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 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. »
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Kasi suki ya moto na ye ekomaki lisusu kokola wuta tango bakataki ye yango.
But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.
23 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. »
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 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. »
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 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,
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 Samison alobaki na mosali oyo asimbaki loboko na ye: « Tia ngai na esika oyo nakoki kosimba makonzi oyo esimbi tempelo mpo ete nalalela yango. »
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 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.
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 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. »
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
