Mpitsara 16
1 Nimb’e Azà mb’eo t’i Simsone, le nanjo ty tsimirirañe, vaho nizilik’ ao.
And Samson went from there to Gaza, and saw a prostitute there, and went in to her.
2 Natalily amo nte-Gazeo ty hoe: Fa nomb’ atoy t’i Simsone. Aa le nivoñone’ iereo naho nialeñe nandiñe aze an-dalambey eo, f’ie nianjiñe amy haleñe iabiy, le hoe ty asa’ iareo: Angao re ampara’ te mazava i maraiñey, vaho hañohofan-tika loza.
And it was reported to the Gazites, saying, "Samson is here." They surrounded him, and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all night, saying, "Wait until morning light, then we will kill him."
3 Nàndre ao t’i Simsone ampara’ te antets’ ale le nitroatse te petsak-aleñe naho nandrambe o lalambein-drovao reketse ty tokona’e roe, naho nombota’e reketse sikadañe aman-karao’e, naho nanoe’e an-tsoroke vaho jinini’e mb’an-kaboa’ ty vohitse aolo’ i Kebrone eñe.
Now Samson rested until midnight, but got up at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is overlooking Hebron, and set them down there.
4 Ie añe, le nikokoa’e ty rakemba am-bavatane’ i Soreke ao, i Delilà ty añara’e.
It came to pass afterward, that he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Aa le nomb’ ama’e mb’eo o talem-Pilistio, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Sigiho, hahaoniñañe te aia i haozara’e ra’elahiy, naho an-tsata akore ty hahafitroara’ay, hamahots’ aze, hanolora’ay sotry, vaho songa hanolotse drala arivo-tsi-zato ama’o zahay.
The lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, "Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."
6 Aa le hoe t’i Delilà amy Simsone: Atalilio amako te aia ty idoña’ o haozara’o ra’elahio, vaho manao akore ty hamahorañe azo hiambanea’o?
Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound and subdued."
7 Le hoe t’i Simsone ama’e, Ie vahora’ iareo an-tàlim-pale leñe fito mbe tsy nimaiheñe le hihalème manahake ondaty ila’eo.
Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
8 Aa le nanese vahotse fito mbe tsy nimaiheñe ama’e o talèm-Pilistio vaho finehe’e.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Ie amy zao, nasia’e mpamandroñe am-po’ ty traño raik’ ao, le hoe re: O Simsone, fa ama’o o nte-Pilistio! Fe tinampa’e hoe ty fitampahan-karafon-deny mioza afo o tàlim-paleo. Tsy nirendrek’ amy zao ty foto’ i haozara’ey.
Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." He broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Simsone t’i Delilà, Toe nifañahia’o, vaho nandañira’o; ehe saontsio amako, inoñe ty hamahorañe azo?
Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with which you might be bound."
11 Le hoe re tama’e: Naho fehe’ iereo mafe an-taly vao mbe lia’e tsy niasa, le havòzo manahake ondaty ila’eo.
He said to her, "If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
12 Aa le nangalake taly vao t’i Delilà, namahots’ aze vaho nanao ty hoe ama’e: O Simsone, ama’o o nte-Pilistio. Ie amy zao an-traño ao o mpamandroñeo. Fe tinampa’e hoe fole o taly am-pità’eo.
So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said to him, "The Philistines are on you, Samson." The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.
13 Aa le hoe t’i Delilà amy Simsone: Ampara’ henane nikobihe’o avao naho nitaroña’o vande; atalilio amako arè ty handrohizañe azo. Le hoe re ama’e: Naho ranjie’o an-tenoñe o randram-piton-dohakoo.
Delilah said to Samson, "Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me how you might be bound." He said to her, "If you weave the seven braids on my head with the fabric and fasten them with the pin, then I will be weak as another man."
14 Aa le vinandri’e ami’ty harake, naho hoe ty koi’e ama’e: O Simsone, ama’o o nte-Pilistio: Nibarakakaok’ amy firota’ey amy zao re vaho sininto amo komboo i harakey rekets’ i tenoñey.
So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids on his head, and wove them with the fabric, and she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." And he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin of the loom and the fabric.
15 Le hoe re ama’e, Aia ty hatao’o ty hoe: Kokoako, kanao tsy amako ty arofo’o? Ie fa nikobik’ ahy in-telo vaho mb’e tsy natalili’o amako ty talin-kaozara’o.
She said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies."
16 Aa kanao tinindri’e lomoñandro lomoñandro an-drehake, naho nitolom-pañosik’ aze, le nirintike te hamoe’ay,
It happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was troubled to death.
17 naho fonga nabora’e ama’e o añ’ arofo’eo ami’ty hoe: Mbe lia’e tsy nirangàm-piharatse ty lohako; ie nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-kovin-dreneko; aa naho harateñe le hienga ahy o hafatrarakoo vaho hihamavozo manahake ondaty ila’eo.
He told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I will become weak, and be like any other man."
18 Aa ie nioni’ i Delilà te hene nabora’e ty arofo’e, le nihitrife’e an-koike o talèm-Pilistio, ami’ty hoe: Mb’etoa aniany fa fonga binora’e amako ty an-tro’e ao, Aa le nihitrike mb’eo o talem-Pilistio reke-drala am-pità’e ao.
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 has told me all his heart." Then the lords of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
19 Nampirote’e añ’ongo’e eo le kinanji’e t’indaty naho niharate’e i randrañe fito añambone’e rey naho niorotse nanolo-tsotry aze, fe nisitak’ ama’e i haozara’ey.
She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and he began to weaken, and his strength went from him.
20 Le hoe re, O Simsone, fa ama’o o nte-Pilistio. Tsekak’ amy firota’ey amy zao le nanao ty hoe: Hiavotse manahake tamo ila’eo, le hivoamboañe; fe tsy napota’e te nieng’ aze t’Iehovà.
She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson." He awoke out of his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." But he didn't know that the LORD had departed from him.
21 Aa le rinambe’ o nte-Pilistio, naho napoliti’ iareo o fihaino’eo; nendese’ iareo mb’e Azà mb’eo naho vinaho’ iareo an-daborìdy torisìke; vaho nandisañe am-porozò ao.
The Philistines seized him, and gouged out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze shackles, and he ground at the mill in the prison.
22 Ie añe, namototse nitombo o maroi’e niharateñeo.
However the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
23 Nampamorie’ o talèm-Pilistio amy zao ondatio hanao sorom-bey amy Dagone ‘ndrahare’ iareo vaho hirebeke; fa hoe iereo: Natolon’ añaharentika am-pitàn-tika t’i Simsone rafelahintikañey.
The lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon, and to celebrate; for they said, "Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
24 Aa ie nahaisak’ aze ondatio, le nandrenge an-drahare’ iareo, ami’ty hoe: Fa natolon-draharentika am-pitàntika i rafelahintikañey, i mpijoy o tànen-tikañeoy, i nanjamañe maro aman-tikañey.
When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand."
25 Ie nifale añ’arofo, le nanao ty hoe: Hitrifo am-balabey ao t’i Simsone, hihisa’ay. Aa le kinoi’ iareo boak’ am-porozò ao t’i Simsone hitohafa’ iareo le napo’ iareo añivo’ o fahañeo.
And it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may entertain us." So they called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. And they were striking him. And they set him between the pillars;
26 Le hoe t’i Simsone amy ajalahy nitañe ty fità’ey, ehe apoho iraho hitsapa o fahañe mitohañe ty anjomba toio, hiatoako.
and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, "Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them." And the boy did so.
27 Ie amy zao nialindretse t’indaty naho rakemba amy anjombay; tao iaby o talem-Pilistio, vaho tan-tafo’e ey nisamba ty fikobihañe i Simsone ty lahilahy naho rakemba telo arivo varañe.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And there were on the roof about three thousand men and women watching while Samson performed.
28 Aa le nikanjy Iehovà t’i Simsone ami’ ty hoe: Ry Iehovà Talè, ehe tiahio iraho amy henaneo avao, ehe ampaozaro ry Andrianañahare, soa te ami’ty indraike toy avao ty hamaleako o nte-Pilistio ty amy masoko roey.
Samson called to the LORD, and said, "Lord GOD, please remember me, and please strengthen me only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."
29 Rinambe’ i Simsone amy zao o fahañe añivo ao mitohañe i anjombaio, nampionjonañe aze, vaho naronje’e, ty raike am-pità’e havana naho ty raike am-pità’e havia.
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
30 Le hoe t’i Simsone: Angao hitrao-pikenkañe amo nte-Pilistio iraho, le naronje’e ami’ ty haozara’e iaby, vaho nikorovok’ amo talèo naho amy ze hene’ ondaty tam-po’e ao. Aa le nandikoatse ze vinono’e amy hene havelo’ey o zinama’e amy fikoromaha’eio.
Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.
31 Le songa nizotso mb’eo o longo’eo naho ty anjomban-drae’e nandrambe aze naho nakare’ iareo vaho nalenteke añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole, an-kibori’ i Manoà rae’e. Nizaka Israele roapolo taon-dre.
Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial site of Manoah his father. He judged Israel twenty years.
