16 Poi Sansone andò a Gaza e là vide una prostituta, ed entrò da lei.
2 Quando fu detto a quei di Gaza: «Sansone è venuto qui», essi circondarono il luogo e stettero in agguato tutta la notte presso la porta della città, e rimasero in silenzio tutta la notte, dicendo: «Allo spuntar del giorno lo uccideremo».
3 Sansone rimase coricato fino a mezzanotte; poi a mezzanotte si alzò, afferrò i battenti della porta della città e i due stipiti, li divelse insieme con la sbarra, se li caricò sulle spalle e li portò in cima al monte che si trova di fronte a Hebron.
4 Dopo questo si innamorò di una donna della valle di Sorek, che si chiamava Delilah.
5 Allora i principi dei Filistei salirono da lei e le dissero: «Seducilo e scopri dove risiede la sua grande forza e come riuscire a sopraffarlo per poterlo legare e domare; poi ti daremo ciascuno millecento sicli d'argento.
6 Così Delilah disse a Sansone: «Dimmi, ti prego, dove risiede la tua grande forza, e in che modo ti si potrebbe legare per domarti».
7 Sansone le rispose: «Se mi legano con sette corde d'arco fresche, non ancora asciutte, io diventerei debole e sarei come un qualsiasi altro uomo».
8 Allora i principi dei Filistei le portarono sette corde d'arco fresche, non ancora asciutte, ed ella lo legò con esse.
9 Or c'erano degli uomini in agguato presso di lei, in una camera interna. Ella gli disse: Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso!». Ma egli ruppe le corde, come si rompe un fil di stoppa quando sente il fuoco. Così il segreto della sua forza rimase sconosciuto.
10 Poi Delilah disse a Sansone: «Ecco, ti sei preso gioco di me e mi hai raccontato bugie; or dunque, ti prego, dimmi con che ti si potrebbe legare».
11 Egli le rispose: «Se mi legano con funi nuove che non sono mai state adoperate, io diventerei debole e sarei come qualsiasi altro uomo».
12 Perciò Delilah prese delle funi nuove, lo legò e gli disse: «Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso». Or c'erano degli uomini in agguato nella camera interna. Ma egli ruppe come un filo le funi che aveva alle braccia.
13 Allora Delilah disse a Sansone: «Fino ad ora ti sei preso gioco di me e mi hai raccontato bugie; dimmi con che ti si potrebbe legare». Ed egli le rispose: «Non dovresti che intrecciare le sette trecce del mio capo con l'ordito».
14 Essa le intrecciò e le fissò al subbio, poi gli disse: Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso». Ma egli si svegliò dal sonno e strappò via il subbio dal telaio e l'ordito.
15 Allora ella gli disse: Come puoi dirmi: "Ti amo", mentre il tuo cuore non è con me? Già tre volte ti sei preso gioco di me e non mi hai detto dove risiede la tua grande forza».
16 Ora, poiché essa lo importunava ogni giorno con le sue parole e lo sollecitava con insistenza, egli ne fu irritato a morte,
17 e le aperse tutto il cuore e le disse: «Non è mai passato rasoio sulla mia testa, perché sono un Nazireo a Dio, dal seno di mia madre; se fossi rasato, la mia forza se ne andrebbe, diventerei debole e sarei come qualsiasi altro uomo».
18 Quando Delilah si rese conto che egli le aveva aperto tutto il cuore, mandò a chiamare i principi dei Filistei e fece dir loro: «Venite su questa volta, perché egli mi ha aperto tutto il suo cuore». Allora i principi dei Filistei salirono da lei e portarono con sé il denaro.
19 Ella lo addormentò quindi sulle sue ginocchia, chiamò un uomo e gli fece radere le sette trecce della testa di Sansone; poi cominciò a maltrattarlo, e la sua forza lo lasciò.
20 Allora ella gli disse: «Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso». Egli si svegliò dal sonno e disse: «Io ne uscirò come tutte le altre volte e mi svincolerò». Ma non sapeva che l'Eterno si era ritirato da lui.
21 E i Filistei lo presero e gli cavarono gli occhi; lo fecero scendere a Gaza e lo legarono con catene di bronzo. E fu posto a girare la macina nella prigione.
22 Intanto i capelli del capo, dopo essere stati rasati, cominciavano nuovamente a crescere.
23 Ora i principi dei Filistei si radunarono per offrire un gran sacrificio a Dagon, loro dio, e per rallegrarsi. Dicevano: «Il nostro dio ci ha dato nelle mani Sansone, nostro nemico».
24 Quando il popolo lo vide, cominciò a lodare il suo dio e a dire: «Il nostro dio ci ha dato nelle mani il nostro nemico, colui che devastava il nostro paese e che ha ucciso tanti di noi».
25 Così nella gioia del loro cuore, dissero: «Fate venire Sansone, perché ci faccia divertire!». Fecero quindi uscire Sansone dalla prigione, ed egli fece il buffone avanti a loro. Poi lo misero fra le colonne.
26 Allora Sansone disse al fanciullo, che lo teneva per la mano: «Lasciami toccare le colonne sulle quali posa la casa,
27 perché possa appoggiarmi ad esse». Or la casa era gremita di uomini e donne vi erano tutti i principi dei Filistei, e sul tetto c'erano tremila persone fra uomini e donne, che stavano a guardare mentre Sansone faceva il buffone.
28 Allora Sansone invocò l'Eterno e disse: «O Signore, o Eterno ti prego ricordati di me! Dammi forza per questa volta soltanto, o DIO, perché possa vendicarmi con un sol colpo dei Filistei per la perdita dei miei due occhi».
29 Sansone afferrò quindi le due colonne centrali, che sostenevano il tempio e si appoggiò ad esse, a una con la destra, e all'altra con la sinistra;
30 poi Sansone disse: «Che io muoia insieme ai Filistei!». Si curvò poi con tutta la sua forza, e la casa crollò addosso ai principi e a tutto il popolo che vi era dentro; e furono piú quelli che egli uccise morendo di quelli che aveva ucciso in vita.
31 Poi suoi fratelli e tutta la casa di suo padre scesero e lo portarono via; e andarono a seppellirlo fra Tsorah ed Eshtaol nel sepolcro di Manoah suo padre. Egli era stato giudice d'Israele per vent'anni.

Samsoon Iyo Deliilaah
16 Markaasuu Samsoon tegey Gaasa, oo halkaas wuxuu ku arkay dhillo, wuuna u galay. 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. 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.
4 Dabadeedna wuxuu jeclaaday naag joogta dooxadii Soreq, oo magaceedana la odhan jiray Deliilaah. 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. 6 Markaasay Deliilaah Samsoon ku tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye ii sheeg meesha xooggaaga weynu kaaga jiro, oo maxaa lagugu xidhi karaa si laguu saxariiriyo. 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. 8 Markaasay amiirradii reer Falastiin iyadii u keeneen toddoba xadhig oo qoyan oo aan engegin, oo iyana isagii bay ku xidhay xadhkihii. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 16 Oo markay maalin walba hadalkeedii ku sii cadaadisay, oo ay ku adkaysay, ayaa naftiisii cidhiidhi gashay ilaa dhimasho. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 22 Habase yeeshee timihii madaxiisu waxay bilaabeen inay soo baxaan kolkii la xiiray dabadeed.
Dhimashadii Samsoon
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. 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. 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. 26 Markaasuu Samsoon ku yidhi yarkii hagayay, Bal i daa aan taabtee tiirarka gurigu ku taagan yahaye, oo aan ku tiirsadee. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Samson and Delilah
16 One day Samson(A) went to Gaza,(B) where he saw a prostitute.(C) He went in to spend the night with her. 2 The people of Gaza were told, “Samson is here!” So they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate.(D) They made no move during the night, saying, “At dawn(E) we’ll kill him.”
3 But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.(F)
4 Some time later, he fell in love(G) with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah.(H) 5 The rulers of the Philistines(I) went to her and said, “See if you can lure(J) him into showing you the secret of his great strength(K) and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels[a] of silver.”(L)
6 So Delilah(M) said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
7 Samson answered her, “If anyone ties me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I’ll become as weak as any other man.”
8 Then the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him with them. 9 With men hidden in the room,(N) she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”(O) But he snapped the bowstrings as easily as a piece of string snaps when it comes close to a flame. So the secret of his strength was not discovered.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have made a fool of me;(P) you lied to me. Come now, tell me how you can be tied.”
11 He said, “If anyone ties me securely with new ropes(Q) that have never been used, I’ll become as weak as any other man.”
12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them. Then, with men hidden in the room, she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”(R) But he snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were threads.
13 Delilah then said to Samson, “All this time you have been making a fool of me and lying to me. Tell me how you can be tied.”
He replied, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the fabric on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I’ll become as weak as any other man.” So while he was sleeping, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, wove them into the fabric 14 and[b] tightened it with the pin.
Again she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”(S) He awoke from his sleep and pulled up the pin and the loom, with the fabric.
15 Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’(T) when you won’t confide in me? This is the third time(U) you have made a fool of me and haven’t told me the secret of your great strength.(V)” 16 With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it.
17 So he told her everything.(W) “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite(X) dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”
18 When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines(Y), “Come back once more; he has told me everything.” So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands.(Z) 19 After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him.[c] And his strength left him.(AA)
20 Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”(AB)
He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.(AC)
21 Then the Philistines(AD) seized him, gouged out his eyes(AE) and took him down to Gaza.(AF) Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain(AG) in the prison. 22 But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
The Death of Samson
23 Now the rulers of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon(AH) their god and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hands.”
24 When the people saw him, they praised their god,(AI) saying,
“Our god has delivered our enemy
into our hands,(AJ)
the one who laid waste our land
and multiplied our slain.”
25 While they were in high spirits,(AK) they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them.
When they stood him among the pillars, 26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.” 27 Now the temple was crowded with men and women; all the rulers of the Philistines were there, and on the roof(AL) were about three thousand men and women watching Samson perform. 28 Then Samson prayed to the Lord,(AM) “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge(AN) on the Philistines for my two eyes.” 29 Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, 30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.
31 Then his brothers and his father’s whole family went down to get him. They brought him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah(AO) his father. He had led[d](AP) Israel twenty years.(AQ)
