< Judges 16 >

1 Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
Nikhat hi Samson Philistine khopi Gaza- a chun achen numei chavai khattoh jan in aga lumkhom lhonnin ahi.
2 The Gazites were told, “Samson is here!” They surrounded him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, “Wait until morning light; then we will kill him.”
Samson hikomma aumchu akithangdoh loijin Gaza a um mihochu akikhomun khopi kelkot phunga chun angah khovah tauvin ahi. Amaho thipbeh chan aum’un, “Jingkah kho ahungvah vahleh ithadiu ahi” akitiuvin ahi.
3 Samson lay until midnight, then arose at midnight and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
Ahinlah Samson chu jankhang geijin bou jalkhunna chun alummin ahi. Hijouchun athoudoh in khopi kelkot chu akhom tenia apun Hebron lam ngat thinglhang vumma apudoh in ahi.
4 It came to pass afterward that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Chomkhat jouvin Samson hi Sorek phaichama cheng Delilah kiti numei khat toh ahung kilungset lhonnin ahi.
5 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.”
Philistine vaipo ho chun amanu komma acheuvin hitin agaseijun ahi, “Samson hi jollin lang ipipen in ahatsah ham chuleh inakilo leh chatmo hella nakikan tum joudingham? Hitia chu nahinbol theileh keiho mikhat cheh in dangka sangsomle sangkhat kapehdiu ahi atiuve.
6 Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”
Hijeh chun Delilah in Samson kommah hitin aseije, “Ipi penin nanghi hibanga nahatsah ham chuleh inakilo leh chatmo hella nakikan tum joudingham lungsettah in neiseipeh in” ati.
7 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.”
Samson’in adonbutnin, “Keima hi golphel khao athahleh jang sagi in eikikan chahkheh henlang hileh katha lhasam’in tin midang bep bep kahiding ahitai” ati.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Hichun Philistine lamkai hon gophel khao athahcheh jang sagi ahin choipeh un, Hichea chun Delilah in Samson chu akanchah kheh in ahi.
9 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 flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
Amanun ainsung pingat sunga chu miphabep asel ahin, hichun amanu ping jah in, “Samson, Philistinete naman dingin ahung taove!” atin ahi. Ahinla Samson chun gophel khaoho chu meiyin ahallhah bangin abot tan gamtan ahil. Hitichun athahatna chu akimandoh joutapon ahi.
10 Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”
Hiche jouchun Delilah in akom’ah aseijin, “Nangin neidai chavaijin jouvin neibolle! Tun lungsettah in neiseipeh in” ati.
11 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.”
Samson’in adonbutnin, “Keihi khatveicha ana kimang cha khalou khaovin eikikanleh katha lhasammin tin midangtoh kabahding ahitai,” atipeh e.
12 So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, then 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.
Hijeh chun Delilah in khatveicha ana kimang khalouhel khao thahbeh cheh in akantum’in ahi. Miphabepkhat chu amasa banga chu indan sungkhatna kiselluva ahi, avellin Delilah ping jah kit’in, “Samson, Philistinete naman dingin ahung taove!” atin ahileh akikan na khao ho jouse chu patjang bang in tan gamtan ahi.
13 Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”
Hichun Delilah in aseijin, “Nangin neidai chavaijin, joujeng in nei bolle! Tunvang itileh chatmoa nakikan tum thei dingham neihetsah tan” ati. Samson’in adonbutnin, “Nangman kaluchanga kasam ba-sagi hi pheh lechun katha hung lhasammin tin, midang bep bep kahiding ahitai,” ati.
14 She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.
Hitichun aimut sungin Delilah in aluchanga asam basagi chu alan alom lommin aveijin lang chule abonchan thih hen khatnin akildet sohkeijin ajah a, “Vo Samson, Philistine mite naman dingin ahungtaove” ati. Samson ahungkhah phatnin thihjang jong asam lomjong aban bodoh soh kittan ahi.
15 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.”
Hiche jouchun Delilah chun lungnommo tah in ahinseijin, “Nangin nathuguh bon neiseipeh nomlouva iti danna kalungsetne natiham? Nangin thumveijen neidai chavaijin ipin nahatsah ham ti neisei pehpon ahi!” ati.
16 When she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
Amanun niseh a hitahi anano jinga asuhboi jing phat hin alungthim asuna lhah jengin athinomleu tan ahi.
17 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.”
Akhonna in athuguh hochu ahin seidoh tai, kasamhi khatveicha kivou khaloulai ahitin ahinphong doh tai, “Keihi kapenna patna Nazir hinkho mang dinga Pathenna eina kikatdohsa kahitai. Kasam hi kivou henlang hileh kathahat nan eidalhah ding ahitai, hiteng chuleh midang bep bep kahiding ahitai” ati.
18 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 came up to her and brought the money in their hand.
Delilah in tuavang hi atahbeh eiseipeh ahitai ti ahetphatnin Philistine lamkai hochu akou kittai, “Khatvei hungkit poupouvun, tuhinvang atahbeh chu eiseipeh tai” ati. Hijeh chun Philistine lamkaiho chun sum ahin choijun akomma ahungkit tauvin ahi.
19 She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Delilah chun Samson chu asam ba-sagi’a kipheh chu avolhahsah in, hitichun Samson chu imacha hilou asosahtan, athahat nan adalhatan ahi.
20 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 Yahweh had departed from him.
Hichun ama ping jah in, “Samson, Philistine te naman dingin ahung taove ati.” Ama ahungkhah phatnin akingaiton, “Keima amasa bang bangin keilekei keihuhdoh jounange ati.” Ahinla aman Pakaiyin adalhah lamchu anahet lou ahi.
21 The Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
Hitichun Philistine ten aman’un amitteni akheodoh peh un Gaza lamma apuijun hichea chun sum-eng thihkhao vin akannun songkulla ahen’un sumhei goijin apansah tauvin ahi.
22 However, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Ahinlah chomkah louvin asam ahung kehdoh pan kittan ahi.
23 The lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.”
Philistine lamkaiten golvah loupitah khat aneijun hichea chun pumgo thilto aboljiuva asemthu pathennu Dagon chu athangvah jiu ahi. Amahon hitin aseijun, “Eiho Pathen’in igalmi’u Samson hi eiho khut’ah eipetaove” atiuve.
24 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.”
Mipiten amuphat’un amaho semthu pathen chu athangvah un hitin aseijuve, “eiho pathen’in igalmipao eiho khut’ah ahin pedohtan ahi, igamsungu sumanga mitamtah eithatpao chu tun eiho thaneina noijah aumtai” atiuve.
25 When their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may entertain us.” They called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. They set him between the pillars;
Amaho kipa thanopna-a akkhamlai tah'un, “Samson chu hinpuidoh un golnop bolnan neiju hite!” atiuve. Hichun Samson chu mipa nopsahna dingin songkulla kon in ahinpui doh tauvin, hiche inpi thah apanga khompi lencheh ni kikah a chun adinsah tauvin ahi.
26 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.”
Hichun Samson’in ama kailea pang chapangpa komma chun, “Hichea inpi theh a pang khomlen cheh ni kikah a chun neidin sah in keiman kingainan neijinge,” atin ahi.
27 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, who saw while Samson performed.
Hiche inpi chu mi dimset jenga ahi. Philistinete milen milal jouse jong um’uva ahin, chuleh hiche nching danna chun numei pasal abonchauva mi sangthum jennin Samson chu golnop’a avet’u ahi.
28 Samson called to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”
Hichun Samson chu Pakai kommah atauvin, “Vo Pakai Pathen keimahi neihin geldoh kitnin O Pathen, lungsettah in khatvei seh seh neihin hatdohsah kit’in. Hiche khatvei thaneina chun Philistine ten kamit teni asuh chotnu phu hi neilah sah teijun” ati.
29 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.
Hichun Samson’in hiche inpi theh a pang khompi teni chunga chun akhut teni chu akoijin,
30 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.
Hichun Samson in aseijin, hiche Philistine te hitoh thitha tange atin, hichun athanei chasun’in asonnin ahileh inpi chun ahung chimmin Philistine milen milal holeh asunga um mipiho jouse chu aseplih tan ahi. Hitichun hiche athi nikhoa atha hochu adamlaija athaho sangin atamjon ahi.
31 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.
Hiche jouchun asopihole ainsung miho along ladingin achesuh un, amahon alongchu agala uvin apa Manoah kivuina Zorah leh Esthtaol kikah ah chun avuitaove.
