و شمشون به غزه رفت و در آنجافاحشه‌ای دیده، نزد او داخل شد. ۱ 1
He also went into Gaza. And there he saw a harlot woman, and he entered to her.
و به اهل غزه گفته شد که شمشون به اینجا آمده است. پس او را احاطه نموده، تمام شب برایش نزددروازه شهر کمین گذاردند، و تمام شب خاموش مانده، گفتند، چون صبح روشن شود او رامی کشیم. ۲ 2
And when the Philistines had heard of this, and it had become well known among them, that Samson had entered the city, they surrounded him, placing guards at the gate of the city. And there they were keeping watch all night in silence, so that, in the morning, they might kill him as he was going out.
و شمشون تا نصف شب خوابید. ونصف شب برخاسته، لنکهای دروازه شهر و دوباهو را گرفته، آنها را با پشت بند کند و بر دوش خود گذاشته، بر قله کوهی که در مقابل حبرون است، برد. ۳ 3
But Samson slept until the middle of the night, and rising up from there, he took both doors from the gate, with their posts and bars. And laying them upon his shoulders, he carried them to the top of the hill that looks toward Hebron.
و بعد از آن واقع شد که زنی را در وادی سورق که اسمش دلیله بود، دوست می‌داشت. ۴ 4
After these things, he loved a woman who was living in the valley of Sorek. And she was called Delilah.
وسروران فلسطینیان نزد او برآمده، وی را گفتند: «او را فریفته، دریافت کن که قوت عظیمش در چه چیز است، و چگونه بر او غالب آییم تا او را بسته، ذلیل نماییم، و هریکی از ما هزار و صد مثقال نقره به تو خواهیم داد.» ۵ 5
And the leaders of the Philistines went to her, and they said: “Deceive him, and learn from him wherein lies his great strength, and how we may be able to overcome him and to impose restraints on him. And if you will do this, each one of us will give you one thousand one hundred silver coins.”
پس دلیله به شمشون گفت: «تمنا اینکه به من بگویی که قوت عظیم تو در چه چیز است و چگونه می‌توان تو را بست و ذلیل نمود.» ۶ 6
Therefore, Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me, I beg you, wherein lies your very great strength, and with what might you be bound, so that you could not break free?”
شمشون وی را گفت: «اگر مرا به هفت ریسمان تر و تازه که خشک نباشد ببندند، من ضعیف و مثل سایر مردم خواهم شد.» ۷ 7
And Samson answered her, “If I will be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still damp, I will be weak like other men.”
و سروران فلسطینیان هفت ریسمان تر و تازه که خشک نشده بود، نزد او آوردند و او وی را به آنهابست. ۸ 8
And the princes of the Philistines brought to her seven cords, such as he had described. And she bound him with these.
و کسان نزد وی در حجره در کمین می‌بودند و او وی را گفت: «ای شمشون فلسطینیان بر تو آمدند.» آنگاه ریسمانها رابگسیخت چنانکه ریسمان کتان که به آتش برخورد گسیخته شود، لهذا قوتش دریافت نشد. ۹ 9
And so, those hiding in ambush with her, in the bedroom, were expecting the end of the matter. And she cried out to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he broke the cords, as one would break a thread of flax, twisted for cutting and singed by fire. And so it was not known wherein lay his strength.
و دلیله به شمشون گفت: «اینک استهزاکرده، به من دروغ گفتی، پس الان مرا خبر بده که به چه چیز تو را توان بست.» ۱۰ 10
And Delilah said to him: “Behold, you have mocked me, and you have spoken a falsehood. But at least now, tell me with what you may be bound.”
او وی را گفت: «اگر مرا با طنابهای تازه که با آنها هیچ کار کرده نشده است، ببندند، ضعیف و مثل سایر مردان خواهم شد.» ۱۱ 11
And he answered her, “If I will be bound with new cords, which have never been used, I will be weak and like other men.”
و دلیله طنابهای تازه گرفته، او رابا آنها بست و به وی گفت: «ای شمشون فلسطینیان بر تو آمدند.» و کسان در حجره درکمین می‌بودند. آنگاه آنها را از بازوهای خود مثل نخ بگسیخت. ۱۲ 12
Again, Delilah tied him with these, and she cried out, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For an ambush had been prepared in the bedroom. But he broke the bindings like the filaments of a web.
و دلیله به شمشون گفت: «تابحال مرااستهزا نموده، دروغ گفتی. مرا بگو که به چه چیزبسته می‌شوی.» او وی را گفت: «اگر هفت گیسوی سر مرا با تار ببافی.» ۱۳ 13
And Delilah spoke to him again: “How long will you deceive me and tell me falsehoods? Reveal with what you ought to be bound.” And Samson responded to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with a loom, and if you tie these around a spike and fix it to the ground, I will be weak.”
پس آنها را به میخ قایم بست و وی را گفت: «ای شمشون فلسطینیان بر تو آمدند.» آنگاه از خواب بیدار شده، هم میخ نورد نساج و هم تار را برکند. ۱۴ 14
And when Delilah had done this, she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson.” And arising from sleep, he withdrew the spike with the hairs and the weaving.
و او وی را گفت: «چگونه می‌گویی که مرادوست می‌داری و حال آنکه دل تو با من نیست. این سه مرتبه مرا استهزا نموده، مرا خبر ندادی که قوت عظیم تو در چه چیز است.» ۱۵ 15
And Delilah said to him: “How can you say that you love me, when your soul is not with me? You have lied to me on three occasions, and you are not willing to reveal wherein lies your very great strength.”
و چون اووی را هر روز به سخنان خود عاجز می‌ساخت واو را الحاح می‌نمود و جانش تا به موت تنگ می‌شد، ۱۶ 16
And when she had been very troublesome to him, and over many days had continually stayed nearby, giving him no time to rest, his soul was faint, and he was weary, even unto death.
هر‌چه در دل خود داشت برای او بیان کرده، گفت که «استره بر سر من نیامده است، زیرا که از رحم مادرم برای خداوند نذیره شده‌ام، واگر تراشیده شوم، قوتم از من خواهد رفت وضعیف و مثل سایر مردمان خواهم شد.» ۱۷ 17
Then disclosing the truth of the matter, he said to her: “Iron has never been drawn across my head, for I am a Nazirite, that is, I have been consecrated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head will be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I will be faint and will be like other men.”
پس چون دلیله دید که هرآنچه در دلش بود، برای او بیان کرده است، فرستاد و سروران فلسطینیان را طلبیده، گفت: «این دفعه بیایید زیراهرچه در دل داشت مرا گفته است.» آنگاه سروران فلسطینیان نزد او آمدند و نقد را به‌دست خود آوردند. ۱۸ 18
Then, seeing that he had confessed to her his whole soul, she sent to the leaders of the Philistines and ordered: “Come up just once more. For now he has opened his heart to me.” And they went up, taking with them the money that they had promised.
و او را بر زانوهای خودخوابانیده، کسی را طلبید و هفت گیسوی سرش را تراشید. پس به ذلیل نمودن او شروع کرد وقوتش از او برفت. ۱۹ 19
But she made him sleep upon her knees, and recline his head upon her bosom. And she called a barber, and he shaved his seven locks of hair. And she began to push him away, and to repel him from herself. For immediately his strength departed from him.
و گفت: «ای شمشون فلسطینیان بر تو آمدند.» آنگاه از خواب بیدارشده، گفت: «مثل پیشتر بیرون رفته، خود رامی افشانم. اما او ندانست که خداوند از او دورشده است. ۲۰ 20
And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind, “I will break away and shake myself free, just as I did before.” For he did not know that the Lord had withdrawn from him.
پس فلسطینیان او را گرفته، چشمانش را کندند و او را به غزه آورده، به زنجیرهای برنجین بستند و در زندان دستاس می‌کرد. ۲۱ 21
And when the Philistines had seized him, they immediately plucked out his eyes. And they led him, bound in chains, to Gaza. And enclosing him in a prison, they made him work a millstone.
و موی سرش بعد از تراشیدن باز به بلند شدن شروع نمود. ۲۲ 22
And now his hair began to grow back.
و سروران فلسطینیان جمع شدند تا قربانی عظیمی برای خدای خود، داجون بگذرانند، وبزم نمایند زیرا گفتند خدای ما دشمن ما شمشون را به‌دست ما تسلیم نموده است. ۲۳ 23
And the leaders of the Philistines convened as one, so that they might offer great sacrifices to Dagon, their god. And they feasted, saying, “Our god has delivered our enemy, Samson, into our hands.”
و چون خلق او را دیدند خدای خود را تمجید نمودند، زیراگفتند خدای ما دشمن ما را که زمین ما را خراب کرد و بسیاری از ما را کشت، به‌دست ما تسلیم نموده است. ۲۴ 24
Then, too, the people, seeing this, praised their god, and they said the same, “Our god has delivered our adversary into our hands: the one who destroyed our land and who killed very many.”
و چون دل ایشان شاد شد، گفتند: «شمشون را بخوانید تا برای ما بازی کند.» پس شمشون را از زندان آورده، برای ایشان بازی می کرد، و او را در میان ستونها برپا داشتند. ۲۵ 25
And rejoicing in their celebration, having now taken food, they instructed that Samson be called, and that he be mocked before them. And having been brought from prison, he was mocked before them. And they caused him to stand between two pillars.
وشمشون به پسری که دست او را می‌گرفت، گفت: «مرا واگذار تا ستونهایی که خانه بر آنها قایم است، لمس نموده، بر آنها تکیه نمایم.» ۲۶ 26
And he said to the boy who was guiding his steps, “Permit me to touch the pillars, which support the entire house, and to lean against them, so that I may rest a little.”
و خانه از مردان و زنان پر بود و جمیع سروران فلسطینیان در آن بودند و قریب به سه هزار مرد و زن برپشت بام، بازی شمشون را تماشا می‌کردند. ۲۷ 27
Now the house was full of men and women. And all the leaders of the Philistines were there, as well as about three thousand persons, of both sexes, on the roof and in the upper level of the house, who were watching Samson being mocked.
و شمشون از خداوند استدعا نموده، گفت: «ای خداوند یهوه مرا بیاد آور و‌ای خدا این مرتبه فقط مرا قوت بده تا یک انتقام برای دو چشم خوداز فلسطینیان بکشم.» ۲۸ 28
Then, calling upon the Lord, he said, “O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, so that I may avenge myself against my enemies, and so that I may receive one vengeance for the deprivation of my two eyes.”
و شمشون دو ستون میان را که خانه بر آنها قایم بود، یکی را به‌دست راست و دیگری را به‌دست چپ خود گرفته، بر آنها تکیه نمود. ۲۹ 29
And taking hold of both the pillars, on which the house rested, and holding one with his right hand and the other with his left,
و شمشون گفت: «همراه فلسطینیان بمیرم و با زور خم شده، خانه بر سروران و برتمامی خلقی که در آن بودند، افتاد. پس مردگانی که در موت خود کشت از مردگانی که درزندگی‌اش کشته بود، زیادتر بودند. ۳۰ 30
he said, “May my life die with the Philistines.” And when he had shaken the pillars strongly, the house fell upon all the leaders, and the rest of the multitude who were there. And he killed many more in his death than he had killed before in his life.
آنگاه برادرانش و تمامی خاندان پدرش آمده، او رابرداشتند و او را آورده، در قبر پدرش مانوح درمیان صرعه و اشتاول دفن کردند. و او بیست سال بر اسرائیل داوری کرد. ۳۱ 31
Then his brothers and all his relatives, going down, took his body, and they buried it between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying place of his father, Manoah. And he judged Israel for twenty years.
