Mpitsara 16
1 Ary Samsona nankany Gaza ka nahita vehivavy janga teo, dia niditra tao aminy.
Then went Samson unto Gaza, —and saw there an unchaste woman, and went in unto her.
2 Ary nolazaina tamin’ ny Gazita hoe: Tonga atỳ Samsona. Dia nanemitra azy izy ary nanotrika mandritra ny alina teo am-bavahadin’ ny tanàna ka nangina mandritra ny alina; fa hoy izy: Raha maraina ny andro, dia hovonointsika izy.
And it was told the Gazites, saying—Samson hath come in hither. So they came round, and lay in wait for him, all the night, in the gate of the city, —but kept themselves quiet all the night, saying, Until the light of the morning, then will we slay him.
3 Ary nandry Samsona mandra-pamatonalina, dia nifoha izy nony namatonalina, ka noraisiny ny vavahadin’ ny tanàna mbamin’ ny tolana roa, dia nongotany izy mbamin’ ny hidiny ka nataony teny antsorony, dia nentiny ho any an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra izay tandrifin’ i Hebrona.
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and of the two doorposts, and tare them away, with the bar, and put them on his shoulders, —and carried them up to the top of the hill that faceth Hebron.
4 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia tia vehivavy atao hoe Delila tany an-dohasaha Soreka izy.
And it came to pass, after this, that he loved a woman in the ravine of Shorek, whose, name, was Delilah.
5 Ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina niakatra nankany amin-dravehivavy ka nanao taminy hoe: Kolikoleo izy, ka izahao izay itoeran’ ny heriny lehibe sy izay hahazoanay mamatotra azy mba hahafolaka azy; dia samy hanome anao sekely zato amby arivo avy izahay rehetra.
So the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said to her—Entice him, and see wherein lieth his great strength, and wherewith we may prevail against him, and bind him, to humble him, —and, we, will give thee, every man, eleven hundred pieces of silver.
6 Dia hoy Delila tamin’ i Samsona: Masìna ianao, lazao amiko izay itoeran’ ny herinao lehibe sy izay hahazoana mamatotra anao hahafolaka anao.
So Delilah said unto Samson, Do tell me, I pray thee, wherein lieth thy great strength, —and wherewith thou mightest be bound, to humble thee.
7 Dia hoy Samsona taminy: Raha tady vaovao fito izay tsy mbola maina no amatorany ahy, dia ho osa aho ka ho tahaka ny olon-kafa.
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green cords, that have not been dried, then shall I become weak, and be as any other man.
8 Dia niakatra nankany aminy ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina nitondra tady vaovao fito izay tsy mbola maina, dia namatotra azy tamin’ ireny ravehivavy.
So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords, that had not been dried, —and she bound him therewith.
9 Ary nisy lehilahy nanotrika ka nitoetra taminy tao an’ efi-trano. Dia hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Samsona: Hamely anao ny Filistina, ry Samsona! Dia notosany ny tady, tahaka ny fahamaiton’ ny taretra rongony, raha lelafin’ ny afo. Dia tsy fantatra ny heriny.
Now, the liers in wait, were tarrying for her, in an inner chamber, —and she said unto him, —The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! And he snapped the cords as a thread of tow is broken, when fire bloweth thereon, so his strength was not discovered.
10 Ary hoy Delila tamin’ i Samsona: Indro, efa namitaka ahy ianao ka nilaza lainga tamiko; ankehitriny, masìna ianao, lazao amiko izay hahazoana mamatotra anao.
And Delilah said unto Samson, Lo! thou hast been laughing at me, and speaking unto me falsehoods, —Now, do tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11 Dia hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha mahazaka vaovao izay tsy mbola nanaovan-draharaha no amatorany ahy mafy, dia ho osa aho ka ho tahaka ny olon-kafa.
And he said unto her, If they, bind me fast, with new ropes, wherewith work was never done, then shall I become weak, and be as any other man.
12 Dia naka mahazaka vaovao Delila, ka namatorany azy, dia hoy izy taminy: Hamely anao ny Filistina, ry Samsona! Ary nisy mpanotrika nitoetra tao an’ efi-trano. Dia notosan’ i Samsona ho afaka amin’ ny sandriny ireny tahaka ny fahamaiton’ ny taretra.
So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him—The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! Now, the liers in wait, were tarrying in an inner chamber. And he snapped them off his arms like a thread.
13 Dia hoy Delila tamin’ i Samsona: Mandraka ankehitriny dia mbola namitaka ahy ihany ianao ka nilaza lainga tamiko; lazao amiko izay hahazoana mamatotra anao. Dia hoy kosa izy taminy: Raha tenomina hikambana amin’ ny tenona ny foto-bolo fito amin’ ny lohako.
And Delilah said unto Samson—Hitherto, hast thou been laughing at me, and speaking unto me falsehoods, do tell me, wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weave the seven braids of my head with the warp.
14 Ary notsatohany ny fantaka izany, dia hoy izy taminy: Hamely anao ny Filistina, ry Samsona! Dia nifoha tamin’ ny torimasony izy, ka nangotany ny fantaka sy ny tenona.
So she beat them up with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! And he awaked out of his sleep, and pulled out the pin of the loom, and the warp.
15 Dia hoy ravehivavy taminy: Nahoana ianao no nanao hoe: Tiako ianao, nefa ny tonao tsy amiko tsinona? Efa namitaka ahy intelo ianao izay, ka tsy mbola nolazainao tamiko ihany izay itoeran’ ny herinao lehibe.
And she said unto him—How canst thou say, I love thee, when, thy heart, is not with me? These three times, hast thou laughed at me, and hast not told me wherein lieth thy great strength.
16 Ary rehefa nitorikisina taminy isan’ andro ravehivavy ka nahasosotsosotra azy, dia tsy nahafinaritra azy intsony ny miaina.
And it came to pass, when she urged him with her words continually, and pressed him, that his soul became impatient, unto death;
17 Ary dia nambarany azy ny tao am-pony rehetra, ka hoy izy taminy: Tsy mbola nokasihin-kareza ny lohako, fa Nazirita ho an’ Andriamanitra hatrany an-kibon-dreniko aho; koa raha haratana aho, dia hiala amiko ny heriko, ary ho osa aho ka ho tahaka ny olona rehetra,
so he told her all his heart, and said to her—No, razor, hath come on my head, for, one separate unto God, have I been, from my birth, —if I were shaven, then would depart from me my strength, and I should become weak, and be as any other man.
18 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Delila fa efa nambarany azy ny tao am-pony rehetra, dia naniraka izy nampaka ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina nanao hoe: Miakara amin’ izao indray mandeha izao, fa efa nambarany ahy ny tao am-pony rehetra. Ary ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina niakatra ho any aminy nitondra ny vola teny an-tànany.
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. And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought up the silver in their hand.
19 Ary ravehivavy nanondana an’ i Samsona hatory teo an-dohaliny, dia niantso lehilahy ka nanaratra ny foto-bolo fito amin’ ny lohany; dia vao izay no nampietry azy izy, satria niala taminy ny heriny.
And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called for a man, and caused him to shave off the seven braids of his head, —and she began to humble him, and his strength departed from him.
20 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Hamely anao ny Filistina, ry Samsona! Dia nifoha tamin’ ny torimasony izy ka nanao hoe: Hivoaka tahaka ny teo aloha aho ka hanetsika ny tenako. Kanjo tsy fantany fa Jehovah efa niala taminy.
And she said—The Philistines, are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and said—I will go out now, as time after time, and shake myself free: he, not knowing, that, Yahweh, had departed from him.
21 Dia nisambotra azy ny Filistina ka namotsitra ny masony, dia nitondra azy nidina nankany Gaza ary namatotra azy tamin’ ny gadra varahina; ary nitoto vary tao an-trano famatorana izy.
And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, —and took him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of bronze, and it came to pass that he used to grind in the prison.
22 Ary dia naniry indray ny volon-dohany, rehefa voaharatra.
And the hair of his head began to grow, after he had been shaven.
23 Ary nivory ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina hamono zavatra betsaka hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Dagona andriamaniny sy hifaly; fa hoy izy: Efa natolotry ny andriamanitsika eto an-tanantsika Samsona fahavalontsika.
Now, the lords of the Philistines, had 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 Ary rehefa nahita azy ny vahoaka, dia nidera ny andriamaniny ka nanao hoe: Efa natolotry ny andriamanitsika eto an-tanantsika ilay fahavalontsika, mpanimba ny tanintsika, izay nahabe maty antsika.
And, when the people saw him, they praised their god, —for they said—Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, even him who laid waste our land, and who multiplied our slain.
25 Ary rehefa faly ny fony, dia hoy izy: Alao Samsona mba hanao laolao ho antsika. Dia nampaka an’ i Samsona avy tao an-trano famatorana izy, ka nanao laolao teo anatrehan’ ireo Samsona; ary nampitsanganiny teo anelanelan’ ny andry izy.
And it came to pass, when their heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. So they called for Samson out of the prison, and he made sport before them, and they stationed him between the pillars.
26 Ary hoy Samsona tamin’ ny zatovo izay nitantana azy: Avelao kely aho hitsapa ny andry izay manohana ny trano, hiankinako aminy.
And Samson said unto the youth that held him by his hand, Place me where I may feel the pillars whereon the house resteth, that I may lean upon them.
27 Ary feno lehilahy sy vehivavy ny trano, ary tao ireo andrianan’ ny Filistina rehetra, ary teo an-tampon-trano koa nisy lehilahy sy vehivavy tokony ho telo arivo, izay finaritra nijery an’ i Samsona nanao laolao.
Now, the house, was full of men and women, there, also were all the lords of the Philistines, —and, on the roof, were about three thousand men and women, looking on while Samson made sport.
28 Ary Samsona niantso an’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Jehovah Tompo ô, mifona aminao aho, tsarovy aho, ka ampaherezo izao indray mandeha izao monja, ry Andriamanitra ô, hamaliako ny Filistina noho ny anankiray amin’ ny masoko roa.
So then Samson cried unto Yahweh, and said, —My Lord Yahweh! remember me, I pray thee, —and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be avenged, with one avenging, for my two eyes, upon the Philistines.
29 Dia notanan’ i Samsona ny andry roa teo afovoany izay nanohana ny trano, ny anankiray tamin’ ny tanany ankavanana, ary ny anankiray tamin’ ny tànany ankavia, ka niankina teo izy.
Then did Samson grasp the two middle pillars, whereon the house rested, and whereon it was upheld, and he braced himself against them, —the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
30 Dia hoy Samsona: Aoka hiara-maty amin’ ny Filistina aho. Dia nezahiny mafy, ka dia nianjera tamin’ ireo andriana sy ny vahoaka rehetra izay teo ny trano. Ary ny maty izay novonoiny teo amin’ ny nahafatesany no be lavitra noho izay novonoiny tamin’ ny andro niainany.
And Samson said—Let my soul die with the Philistines! And he bowed mightily, 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 they whom he slew in his life.
31 Ary nidina ny rahalahiny sy ny mpianakavin-drainy rehetra, dia naka ny fatiny ka nitondra azy niakatra, dia nandevina azy teo anelanelan’ i Zora sy Estaola tao amin’ ny fasan’ i Manoa rainy. Ary izy efa nitsara ny Isiraely roa-polo taona.
Then came down his brethren, and all the house of his father, and lifted him, and carried him up, and buried him, between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the buryingplace of Manoah his father, —he, having judged Israel twenty years.
