< Bilombe 16 >

1 Mokolo moko, Samison akendeki na Gaza epai wapi amonaki mwasi moko ya ndumba, mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto 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 to the Gazzites, saying, Samson is come hither: and they compassed him in, and lay in wait for him all the night in the gate of the city, and held themselves quiet all the night, saying, By the time it is light in the morning will we 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; but he arose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the city-gate, and the two door-posts, and tore them away with the bolt, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mount 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 after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, 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 unto her, and said unto her, Persuade him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail over him, that we may bind him to subdue him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
6 Dalila ayebisaki Samison: — Yebisa ngai sekele ya makasi na yo mpe ndenge nini bakoki kokanga yo basinga mpe kosilisa yo makasi.
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou canst be bound to subdue 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 unto her, If they bind me with seven moist cords which have not yet been dried, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.
8 Boye, bakambi ya Filisitia bamemelaki Dalila basinga sambo ya mobesu, oyo nanu bakawusi te, mpe Dalila alingaki Samison basinga yango.
And the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven moist cords which had not yet 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.
And she had men lying in wait, sitting near her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he tore the cords, as a thread of tow is torn when it toucheth the fire; and his strength was not perceived.
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 unto Samson, Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; now do tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou canst 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 unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that have never been used in work, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.
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 therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And the liers in wait were sitting in the chamber. But he tore 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 unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; do tell me wherewith thou canst be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest 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 unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awakened out of his sleep, and tore away the pin of the loom, with 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. »
And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou deceived me, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
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 worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;
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 unto her, A razor hath not passed over my head; for a Nazarite of God have I been from my mother's womb; if I were shaved, my strength would depart from me, and I should become weak, and be like all other men.
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 when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once; for he hath told me all his heart. Then came the lords of the Philistines up unto 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 she called a man, and caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to subdue him, and his strength departed 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 shake myself free. But he knew not that the Lord 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 Gazzah, and bound him with fetters of copper; 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 again after it was shaved off.
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. »
And the lords of the Philistines gathered themselves together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice; and they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand Samson our enemy.
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 hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, and him who hath slain so many of us.
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 heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made sport before them; and they placed 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 unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me [to go] and let me feel the pillars whereupon the house is supported, 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 there were all the lords of the Philistines; and upon the roof were about three thousand men and women, that 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 unto the Lord, and said, O Lord Eternal, remember me, I pray thee, and do thou strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged for one of my two eyes on the Philistines.
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 threw his arms around the two middle pillars upon which the house was supported, and he leaned on them, [on] one with his right hand, and [on] 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 bent [them] with might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead whom 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.
Then came down his brothers and all the house of his father, and they took him up, and carried him up, and buried him between Zor'ah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoach his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
