Judges 16
1 Ní ọjọ́ kan Samsoni lọ sí Gasa níbi tí ó ti rí obìnrin panṣágà kan. Ó wọlé tọ̀ ọ́ láti sun ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.
2 Àwọn ará Gasa sì gbọ́ wí pé, “Samsoni wà níbí.” Wọ́n sì yí agbègbè náà ká, wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ọ ní gbogbo òru náà ní ẹnu-bodè ìlú náà. Wọn kò mira ní gbogbo òru náà pé ní “àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ àwa yóò pa á.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Samsoni sùn níbẹ̀ di àárín ọ̀gànjọ́. Òun sì dìde ní ọ̀gànjọ́, ó fi ọwọ́ di àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn odi ìlú náà mú, pẹ̀lú òpó méjèèjì, ó sì fà wọ́n tu, pẹ̀lú ìdábùú àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà lára rẹ̀. Ó gbé wọn lé èjìká rẹ̀ òun sì gbé wọn lọ sí orí òkè tí ó kọjú sí Hebroni.
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 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ó sì ní ìfẹ́ obìnrin kan ní àfonífojì Soreki, orúkọ ẹni tí í ṣe Dẹlila.
And it came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Àwọn ìjòyè Filistini sì lọ bá obìnrin náà, wọ́n sọ fún un wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá le tàn án kí òun sì fi àṣírí agbára rẹ̀ hàn ọ́, àti bí àwa ó ti lè borí rẹ̀, kí àwa sì dè é kí àwa sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀. Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan nínú wa yóò sì fún ọ ní ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀fà fàdákà.”
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 Torí náà Dẹlila sọ fún Samsoni pé, “Sọ àṣírí agbára ńlá rẹ fún mi àti bí wọ́n ti le dè ọ́, àti bí wọ́n ṣe lè borí rẹ.”
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 Samsoni dá a lóhùn wí pé, “Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fi okùn tútù méje tí ẹnìkan kò sá gbẹ dè mí, èmi yóò di aláìlágbára bí i gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.”
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 Àwọn olóyè Filistini sì mú okùn tútù méje tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò sá gbẹ wá fún Dẹlila òun sì fi wọ́n dè é.
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 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn tí sá pamọ́ sínú yàrá, òun pè pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini ti dé láti mú ọ.” Ṣùgbọ́n òun já àwọn okùn náà bí òwú ti í já nígbà tí ó bá wà lẹ́bàá iná. Torí náà wọn kò mọ àṣírí agbára rẹ̀.
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 Dẹlila sì sọ fún Samsoni pé, ìwọ ti tàn mí; o sì purọ́ fún mi. Wá báyìí kí o sì sọ bí a ti ṣe le dè ọ́.
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 Òun dáhùn pé, “Bí wọ́n bá lè fi okùn tuntun tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò tí ì lò rí dì mí dáradára, èmi yóò di aláìlágbára, èmi yóò sì dàbí àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.”
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 Dẹlila sì mú àwọn okùn tuntun, ó fi wọ́n dì í. Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Filistini ti fi ara pamọ́ sínú yàrá, òun kígbe sí i pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini dé láti mú ọ,” òun sì já okùn náà kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ bí òwú.
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 Dẹlila sì tún sọ fún Samsoni pé, “Títí di ìsinsin yìí ìwọ sì ń tún tàn mí, o sì tún purọ́ fún mi. Sọ fún mi ọ̀nà tí wọ́n fi le dè ọ́.” Samsoni dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí ìwọ bá hun ìdí irun méjèèje tí ó wà ní orí mi pẹ̀lú okùn, tí ó sì le dáradára kí o sì fi ẹ̀mú mú un mọ́lẹ̀, èmi yóò di aláìlágbára bí àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.” Nígbà tí òun ti sùn, Dẹlila hun àwọn ìdí irun méjèèje tí ó wà ní orí rẹ̀,
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 ó sì fi ìhunṣọ dè wọ́n. Ó sì tún pè é pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini dé láti mú ọ.” Òun sì jí ní ojú oorun, ó sì fa ìdè ìhunṣọ náà tu pẹ̀lú ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n fi kàn án mọ́lẹ̀.
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 Dẹlila sì sọ fún un pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi wí pé, ‘Èmi fẹ́ràn rẹ,’ nígbà tí ìwọ kò fi ọkàn tán mi. Èyí ni ìgbà kẹta tí ìwọ ti tàn mí jẹ, tí ìwọ kò sì sọ àṣírí ibi tí agbára ńlá rẹ gbé wà fún mi.”
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 Ó sì ṣe nígbà tí ó fi ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ rọ̀ ọ́ ní ojoojúmọ́ pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ títí dé bi pé ó sú dé òpin ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
And it came to pass, when she worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;
17 Òun sì sọ ohun gbogbo tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ̀ fún un. Ó ní, “Abẹ kò tí ì kan orí mi rí, nítorí pé Nasiri, ẹni ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run ni mo jẹ́ láti ìgbà ìbí mi wá. Bí a bá fá irun orí mi, agbára mi yóò fi mí sílẹ̀, èmi yóò sì di aláìlágbára bí àwọn ọkùnrin yòókù.”
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 Nígbà tí Dẹlila rí i pé ó ti sọ ohun gbogbo fún òun tan, Dẹlila ránṣẹ́ sí àwọn ìjòyè Filistini pé, “Ẹ wá lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, ó ti sọ ohun gbogbo fún mi.” Torí náà àwọn olóyè Filistini padà, wọ́n sì mú owó ìpinnu náà lọ́wọ́.
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 Òun sì mú kí Samsoni sùn lórí itan rẹ̀, òun sì pe ọkùnrin kan láti fá àwọn ìdì irun orí rẹ̀ méjèèje, òun sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀. Agbára rẹ̀ sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
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 Òun pè é wí pé, “Samsoni àwọn Filistini dé láti mú ọ.” Òun jí ní ojú oorun rẹ̀, ó sì sọ pé, “Èmi yóò jáde lọ bí í ti àtẹ̀yìnwá, kí èmi sì gba ara mi, kí n di òmìnira.” Ṣùgbọ́n òun kò mọ̀ pé Olúwa ti fi òun sílẹ̀.
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 Nígbà náà ni àwọn Filistini mú un, wọ́n yọ ojú rẹ̀ méjèèjì wọ́n sì mú un lọ sí Gasa. Wọ́n fi ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ idẹ dè é, wọ́n sì fi sí ibi iṣẹ́ ọlọ lílọ̀ nínú ilé túbú.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n irun orí rẹ̀ bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í tún hù lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti fá a.
But the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.
23 Àwọn ìjòyè, àwọn ará Filistini sì péjọpọ̀ láti ṣe ìrúbọ ńlá sí Dagoni ọlọ́run wọn àti láti ṣe ayẹyẹ wọ́n wí pé, ọlọ́run wa ti fi Samsoni ọ̀tá wa lé wa lọ́wọ́.
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 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rí Samsoni wọ́n yin ọlọ́run wọn wí pé, “Ọlọ́run wa ti fi ọ̀tá wa lé wa lọ́wọ́. Àní ẹni tí ó ti run ilẹ̀ wa ẹni tí ó ti pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú wa.”
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 Nígbà tí inú wọn dùn gidigidi tí wọ́n ń yọ ayọ̀ ńlá, wọ́n pariwo pé, ẹ mú Samsoni wá kí ó wá dá wa lára yá. Wọ́n sì pe Samsoni jáde láti ọgbà ẹ̀wọ̀n náà, òun sì ń ṣeré fún wọn. Nígbà tí wọ́n mú un dúró láàrín àwọn òpó.
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 Samsoni sọ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tí ó di ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú pé, “Ẹ fi mí si ibi tí ọwọ́ mi yóò ti le tó àwọn òpó tí ó gbé tẹmpili dúró mú, kí èmi lè fẹ̀yìn tì wọ́n.”
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 Ní àsìkò náà, tẹmpili yìí kún fún àwọn ọkùnrin àti obìnrin; gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè Filistini wà níbẹ̀, ní òkè ilé náà, níbi tí ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta àwọn ọkùnrin àti obìnrin tí ń wòran Samsoni bí òun ti ń ṣeré.
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 Nígbà náà ni Samsoni ké pe Olúwa wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, rántí mi. Háà Ọlọ́run jọ̀wọ́ fi agbára fún mi lẹ́ẹ̀kan yìí sí i, kí èmi lè gbẹ̀san lára àwọn Filistini nítorí àwọn ojú mi méjèèjì.”
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 Samsoni sì na ọwọ́ mú àwọn òpó méjèèjì tí ó wà láàrín gbùngbùn, orí àwọn tí tẹmpili náà dúró lé, ó fi ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mú ọ̀kan àti ọwọ́ òsì mú èkejì, ó fi ara tì wọ́n,
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 Samsoni sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi kú pẹ̀lú àwọn Filistini!” Òun sì fi agbára ńlá tì wọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ilé náà wó lu àwọn ìjòyè àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀. Báyìí ni ó pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nígbà ikú rẹ̀ ju ìgbà ayé rẹ̀ lọ.
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 Nígbà náà ni àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀ ní àpapọ̀ gòkè lọ wọ́n sì gbé e, wọ́n gbé e padà wá, wọ́n sì sin ín sí agbede-méjì Sora àti Eṣtaoli, sínú ibojì Manoa baba rẹ̀. Òun ti ṣe àkóso Israẹli ní ogún ọdún.
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.
