Xaakinnada 16
1 Markaasuu Samsoon tegey Gaasa, oo halkaas wuxuu ku arkay dhillo, wuuna u galay.
One day Samson went to Gaza [city in the Philistia area]. He spent some time with a prostitute.
2 Oo waxaa dadkii reer Gaasa lagu yidhi, Samsoon halkanuu yimid. Oo intay hareereeyeen ayay habeenkii oo dhan magaalada iriddeeda ku gaadayeen, oo habeenkaas oo dhanna way aamusnaayeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Markuu waagu beryo ayaynu dili doonnaa.
People soon found out that Samson was there, so the men of Gaza gathered together at the city gate and waited all night. They said to themselves, “When it dawns tomorrow morning, we will kill him [when he tries to leave the city].”
3 Oo Samsoonna ilaa habeenbadhkii ayuu jiifay, oo wuxuu kacay habeenbadhkii, oo gacanta ku qabsaday albaabbadii magaalada iriddeeda iyo labadii tiir, markaasuu fujiyey dhammaantood iyo qataarkiiba, oo garbahuu saaray, oo wuxuu la tegey buurta Xebroon ku hor taal dusheeda.
But Samson did not stay there all night. At midnight, he got up. He went to the city gate, he took hold of its two posts, and he lifted it up out of the ground, with its [connecting cross] bar still attached. He put it on his shoulders and carried it [many miles] uphill to Hebron.
4 Dabadeedna wuxuu jeclaaday naag joogta dooxadii Soreq, oo magaceedana la odhan jiray Deliilaah.
Later Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, [and started to live with her]. She lived in Sorek Valley [in the Philistia area].
5 Oo amiirradii reer Falastiin ayaa u yimid iyadii, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Bal sasab isaga oo soo ogow meesha xooggiisa weynu kaga jiro, iyo sida aannu kaga adkaan karno, oo aannu intaannu xidhno u saxariirin karno; oo midkayo kastaaba wuxuu ku siin doonaa kun iyo boqol xabbadood oo lacag ah.
The Philistine leaders went to her and said, “Find out from Samson what makes him so strong. And find out how we can subdue him and tie him up securely. If you do that, each of us will give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”
6 Markaasay Deliilaah Samsoon ku tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye ii sheeg meesha xooggaaga weynu kaaga jiro, oo maxaa lagugu xidhi karaa si laguu saxariiriyo.
So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me what makes you so strong, and tell me how someone can subdue you and tie you up.”
7 Oo Samsoonna wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Haddii laygu xidho toddoba xadhig oo qoyan oo aan weligood engegin, markaasaan taag yaraanayaa, oo waxaan noqonayaa sida dadka kale.
Samson said, “If someone ties me with seven new bowstrings, ones that are not dry yet, I will become as weak as other men.”
8 Markaasay amiirradii reer Falastiin iyadii u keeneen toddoba xadhig oo qoyan oo aan engegin, oo iyana isagii bay ku xidhay xadhkihii.
So [after Delilah told that to the Philistine leaders], they brought seven new bowstrings to Delilah.
9 Haddaba waxay haysatay niman gaadmo ah oo joogay qolka hoose. Oo waxay isagii ku tidhi, Samsoonow, reer Falastiin way ku hayaan. Oo xadhkihiina wuxuu u jaray sidii shootali dab la saaray u go'o oo kale. Taas darteed xooggiisii meeluu ku jiro lama ogaan.
Then she hid the men in one of the rooms in her house. Then [while Samson was sleeping], she tied him up with the bowstrings. Then she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come here to capture you!” But Samson snapped the bowstrings as easily as though they were strings that had been singed in a fire. So the Philistines did not find out what made Samson so strong.
10 Markaasay Deliilaah Samsoon ku tidhi, Bal eeg, waad igu majaajilootaye. Oo been baad ii sheegtay, haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg waxa lagugu xidhi karo.
Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have deceived me and lied to me! Now tell me [the truth, ] how someone can tie you up securely.”
11 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii laygu xidho xadhko cuscusub oo aan lagu shaqayn, markaas waan taag yaraanayaa, oo waxaan noqonayaa sida dadka kale.
Samson replied, “If someone ties me with new ropes, ones that have never been used, I will be as weak as other men.”
12 Markaasay Deliilaah qaadday xadhko cuscusub oo ku xidhay isagii, oo waxay ku tidhi, Samsoonow, reer Falastiin way ku hayaan. Nimankii gaadmadii ahaana waxay ku jireen qolka hoose. Markaasuu xadhkihii gacmihiisa uga jaray sida dunta oo kale.
So again, [she told the Philistine leaders, and] they [came and] hid in the room as they had done before. And again, while Samson was sleeping, she took the new ropes and tied him up with them. Then she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” But Samson snapped the ropes on his arms as easily as if they were threads.
13 Markaasay Deliilaah Samsoon ku tidhi, Haddaba tan iyo markii hore waad igu majaajilootay, oo been baad ii sheegtay. Ii sheeg waxa lagugu xidhi karo. Kolkaasuu ku yidhi, Toddobada raamood ee madaxayga haddaad dharsameeye duntiis kula tidicdid waan taag yaraanayaa.
Then Delilah said, “You have deceived me and lied to me [again]! Please tell me how someone can tie you up securely!” Samson replied, “If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the threads you are weaving on the loom, and then fasten those threads with the pin [that makes the threads tight], then I will be as weak as other men.” So again, while Samson was sleeping on her lap, Delilah held the seven braids of his hair, and wove them into the threads on the loom,
14 Markaasay qodob ku qodobtay oo ku tidhi, Samsoonow, reer Falastiin waa ku hayaan. Oo intuu hurdadii ka soo toosay ayuu rujiyey qodobkii iyo looxii dunta, iyo duntii dharsameeyaha.
and she tightened them with the pin. Then she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” But Samson woke up and pulled out the pin, and pulled his hair from the threads on the loom.
15 Markaasay isagii ku tidhi, Sidee baad u odhan kartaa, Waan ku jeclahay, adigoo aanu qalbigaagu ila jirin? Bal eeg, saddex jeer baad igu majaajilootay oo iimana aad sheegin meesha xooggaaga weynu ku jiro.
Then Delilah said to him, “How can you say that you love me when you do not tell me the truth about yourself? You have deceived me three times, and you still have not told me what really makes you so strong!”
16 Oo markay maalin walba hadalkeedii ku sii cadaadisay, oo ay ku adkaysay, ayaa naftiisii cidhiidhi gashay ilaa dhimasho.
Day after day she nagged him like that. He thought he would die from her nagging [IDM].
17 Oo markaasuu u sheegay wixii qalbigiisa ku jiray oo dhan oo ku yidhi, Madaxayga mandiil lama marin, waayo, tan iyo markaan dhashay waxaan ahaa Nadiir Ilaah loo soocay. Haddii la ii xiiro, xooggaygu waa iga tegayaa, oo waan taag yaraanayaa, oo waxaan noqonayaa sida dadka kale.
Finally Samson told her the truth. He said, “I have been set apart for God since the day I was born. And because of that, my hair has never been cut. If my hair were shaved off, my strength would be gone, and I would be as weak as other men.”
18 Deliilaahna markay ogaatay inuu u wada sheegay wixii qalbigiisa ku jiray oo dhan ayay u cid dirtay oo u yeedhay amiirradii reer Falastiin, oo waxay ku tidhi, Bal markan ii kaalaya, waayo, wixii qalbigiisa ku jiray oo dhan wuu ii sheegay. Markaasay amiirradii reer Falastiin iyadii u yimaadeen oo lacagtiina gacantooday ugu soo qaadeen.
Delilah realized that this time he had told her the truth. So she summoned the Philistine leaders again, saying, “Come back one more time, because Samson has really told me everything [about why he is so strong]”. So the Philistine leaders returned and brought to Delilah the money [that they promised to give her].
19 Markaasay intay isagii ku seexisay jilbaheedii, ayay nin u yeedhatay, oo waxay ka xiirtay toddobadii raamood ee madaxiisa, dabadeedna waxay bilowday inay saxariiriso, oo xooggiisiina waa ka tegey.
Again she lulled Samson to sleep, with his head in her lap. Then she called one of the Philistine men to come and shave off Samson’s hair. As he did that, Samson began to get weaker. And finally his strength was all gone.
20 Markaasay ku tidhi, Samsoonow, reer Falastiin waa ku hayaan. Kolkaasuu hurdadiisii ka soo toosay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Sidii mararkii kale ayaan bixi doonaa oo isgilgili doonaa. Laakiinse isma uu ogayn in Rabbigu ka tegey isaga.
Then [after she tied him up], she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” He woke up and thought, “I will do as I did before. I will shake [these ropes] off myself and be free!” But he did not realize that Yahweh had left him.
21 Markaasay reer Falastiin isagii qabteen, indhihiisiina way ka rideen, kolkaasay isagii keeneen Gaasa, oo waxay ku xidheen silsilado naxaas ah; oo isna wax buu ku ridqi jiray xabsiga.
So the Philistine men seized him and gouged out his eyes. Then they took him to Gaza. There they put him in prison and bound him with bronze chains. They made him [turn a millstone to] grind grain [every day].
22 Habase yeeshee timihii madaxiisu waxay bilaabeen inay soo baxaan kolkii la xiiray dabadeed.
But his hair started to grow again.
23 Markaasay amiirradii reer Falastiin isu soo urursadeen inay allabari weyn u bixiyaan ilaahood oo ahaa Daagoon, iyo inay reyreeyaan; waayo, waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Cadowgeennii Samsoon ahaa waxaa gacanteenna soo geliyey ilaaheen.
[Several months later] the Philistine leaders celebrated a big festival. During the festival they offered sacrifices to their god Dagon. They praised him, saying, “Our god has enabled us to defeat our great enemy Samson!”
24 Oo dadkiina markay isagii arkeen ayay ilaahood ammaaneen; waayo, waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaaheen wuxuu gacanteenna soo geliyey kii ahaa cadowgeennii iyo kii dalkeenna baabbi'in jiray oo layn jiray kuwo badan oo inaga mid ah.
And when the other people saw Samson, they also praised their god Dagon, saying, “Samson ruined our crops and killed many of our people, but our god has put our enemy into our hands. Our god helped us to capture the one who has killed so many of us!”
25 Oo markii qalbigoodii farxay ayay yidhaahdeen, Samsoon u yeedha ha noo cayaaree. Markaasay Samsoon xabsigii uga yeedheen, oo hortooduu ku cayaaray. Kolkaasay waxay isagii taageen tiirarkii dhexdooda.
By that time the people were half-drunk. They shouted, “Bring Samson out of the prison! Bring him here so that he can entertain us!” So they brought Samson from the prison and made fun of him. Then they made him stand in the center of the temple. They made him stand between the two pillars that held up the roof.
26 Markaasuu Samsoon ku yidhi yarkii hagayay, Bal i daa aan taabtee tiirarka gurigu ku taagan yahaye, oo aan ku tiirsadee.
Samson said to the servant who was leading him by his hand, “Place my hands against the two pillars. I want to rest against them.”
27 Oo gurigana waxaa ka buuxay rag iyo dumarba, oo amiirradii reer Falastiin oo dhammuna halkaasay wada joogeen; saqafkana waxaa dul joogay dad ku dhow saddex kun oo rag iyo dumarba leh, oo daawanayay intuu Samsoon cayaarayay.
At that time the temple was full of men and women. All the Philistine leaders were also there. And there were about 3,000 people on the roof, watching Samson and making fun of him.
28 Markaasuu Samsoon Rabbiga baryay, oo yidhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, i xusuuso, oo waan ku tuugayaaye, markan keliya xoog ii yeel, Ilaahow, si aan reer Falastiin haddiiba uga magdhowdo labadaydii indhood.
Then Samson prayed, saying, “Yahweh, my Lord, think about me again! Please give me strength one more time, so that I may get revenge on the Philistines for gouging out my eyes!”
29 Markaasuu Samsoon qabsaday labadii tiirdhexaad oo gurigu ku taagnaa, wuuna ku tiirsaday, oo mid wuxuu ku qabsaday gacantiisii midig, kii kalena wuxuu ku qabsaday bidixdiisii.
Then Samson put his hands on the two center pillars of the temple. He put his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other pillar.
30 Markaasuu Samsoon yidhi, Aan reer Falastiin la dhinto. Oo wuxuu la foororsaday itaalkiisii oo dhan, gurigiina wuxuu ku dhacay amiirradii iyo dadkii ku jiray oo dhan. Sidaasay kuwuu markuu dhintay laayay uga sii badnaayeen kuwuu laayay markuu noolaa.
Then he shouted [to God], “Let me die with the Philistines!”, and he pushed with all his strength. [The pillars collapsed], and the temple crashed down on the Philistine leaders and all the other Philistine people, [and they all died]. So Samson killed more people when he died than he had killed all during his life.
31 Markaasay walaalihiis iyo reer aabbihiis oo dhammu soo dhaadhaceen, oo intay qaadeen isagii ayay keeneen oo ku aaseen meel u dhexaysa Sorcaah iyo Eshtaa'ool, taasoo ahayd xabaashii aabbihiis Maanoo'ax. Oo isna wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil xukumayay labaatan sannadood.
Later his brothers and their relatives went down [from Zorah to Gaza] to get his body. They took it back home and buried it between Zorah and Eshtaol, at the place where Samson’s father Manoah was buried. Samson had been Israel’s leader for 20 years.
