Judges 16
1 Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.
Potom otide Samson u Gazu, i ondje vidje jednu ženu kurvu, i uðe k njoj.
2 And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.
I ljudima u Gazi bi kazano: doðe Samson ovamo. I opkoliše i vrebaše ga cijelu noæ na vratima gradskim; i stajahu u potaji cijelu noæ govoreæi: dok svane, ubiæemo ga.
3 And Samson was there till the middle of the night; then he got up, and took a grip on the doors of the town, pulling them up, together with their two supports and their locks, and put them on his back and took them up to the top of the hill in front of Hebron.
Ali Samson spavav do ponoæi usta u ponoæi, i šèepa vrata gradska s oba dovratka i išèupa ih s prijevornicom zajedno, i metnu ih na ramena i odnese navrh gore koja je prema Hevronu.
4 Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.
Poslije toga zamilova djevojku na potoku Soriku, kojoj bješe ime Dalida.
5 And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.
I doðoše k njoj knezovi Filistejski i rekoše joj: prevari ga i iskušaj gdje mu stoji velika snaga i kako bismo mu dosadili da ga svežemo i svladamo; a mi æemo ti dati svaki po tisuæu i sto srebrnika.
6 So Delilah said to Samson, Make clear to me now what is the secret of your great strength, and how you may be put in bands and made feeble.
I Dalida reèe Samsonu: hajde kaži mi gdje stoji tvoja velika snaga i èim bi se mogao svezati i svladati.
7 And Samson said to her, If seven new bow-cords which have never been made dry are knotted round me, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.
A Samson joj reèe: da me svežu u sedam gužava sirovijeh neosušenijeh, onda bih izgubio snagu i bio kao i drugi èovjek.
8 So the chiefs of the Philistines gave her seven new bow-cords which had never been made dry, and she had them tightly knotted round him.
I donesoše joj knezovi Filistejski sedam gužava sirovijeh, još neosušenijeh, i ona ga sveza njima.
9 Now she had men waiting secretly in the inner room; and she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the cords were broken by him as a twist of thread is broken when touched by a flame. So the secret of his strength did not come to light.
A kod nje bijaše zasjeda u sobi; i ona mu reèe: eto Filisteja na te, Samsone! A on pokida gužve, kao što se kida konac od kudjelje kad osjeti vatru; i ne dozna se za snagu njegovu.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?
Potom reèe Dalida Samsonu: gle, prevario si me, i slagao si mi; nego hajde kaži mi èim bi se mogao svezati.
11 And he said to her, If they only put round me new thick cords which have never been used, then I will become feeble and will be like any other man.
A on joj reèe: da me dobro svežu novim užima kojima nije ništa raðeno, tada bih izgubio snagu i bio bih kao drugi èovjek.
12 So Delilah took new thick cords, knotting them tightly round him, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And men were waiting secretly in the inner room. And the cords were broken off his arms like threads.
I Dalida uze nova uža, i sveza ga njima, pak mu reèe: eto Filisteja na te, Samsone! A zasjeda bijaše u sobi. A on raskide s ruku uža kao konac.
13 Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.
Tada reèe Dalida Samsonu: jednako me varaš i lažeš mi; kaži mi èim bi se mogao svezati? A on joj reèe: da sedam pramena kose na glavi mojoj priviješ na vratilo.
14 So while he was sleeping she got the seven twists of his hair worked into her cloth and fixed with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. Then awaking from his sleep, he got up quickly, pulling up cloth and machine together.
I ona zaglavivši vratilo kocem, reèe: evo Filisteja na te, Samsone! A on se probudi od sna, i istrže kolac i osnovu i vratilo.
15 And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.
Opet mu ona reèe: kako možeš govoriti: ljubim te, kad srce tvoje nije kod mene? Veæ si me tri puta prevario ne hoteæi mi kazati gdje ti je velika snaga.
16 So day after day she gave him no peace, for ever questioning him till his soul was troubled to death.
I ona mu dosaðivaše svojim rijeèima svaki dan i navaljivaše na nj, i duša mu prenemože da umre,
17 And opening all his heart to her, he said to her, My head has never been touched by a blade, for I have been separate to God from the day of my birth: if my hair is cut off, then my strength will go from me and I will become feeble, and will be like any other man.
Te joj otvori cijelo srce svoje, i reèe joj: britva nije nikad prešla preko glave moje, jer sam nazirej Božji od utrobe matere svoje; da se obrijem, ostavila bi me snaga moja i oslabio bih, i bio bih kao svaki èovjek.
18 And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.
A Dalida videæi da joj je otvorio cijelo srce svoje, posla i pozva knezove Filistejske poruèivši im: hodite sada, jer mi je otvorio cijelo srce svoje. Tada doðoše knezovi Filistejski k njoj i donesoše novce u rukama svojim.
19 And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.
A ona ga uspava na krilu svojem, i dozva èovjeka te mu obrija sedam pramena kose s glave, i ona ga prva svlada kad ga ostavi snaga njegova.
20 Then she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And awaking from his sleep, he said, I will go out as at other times, shaking myself free. But he was not conscious that the Lord had gone from him.
I ona reèe: eto Filisteja na te, Samsone! A on probudiv se od sna reèe: izaæi æu kao i prije i oteæu se. Jer ne znadijaše da je Gospod otstupio od njega.
21 So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house.
Tada ga uhvatiše Filisteji, i iskopaše mu oèi, i odvedoše ga u Gazu i okovaše ga u dvoje verige mjedene; i meljaše u tamnici.
22 But the growth of his hair was starting again after it had been cut off.
A kosa na glavi njegovoj poèe rasti kao što je bila kad ga obrijaše.
23 And the chiefs of the Philistines came together to make a great offering to Dagon their god, and to be glad; for they said, Our god has given into our hands Samson our hater.
I knezovi Filistejski skupiše se da prinesu veliku žrtvu Dagonu bogu svojemu, i da se provesele; pa rekoše: predade nam bog naš u ruke naše Samsona neprijatelja našega.
24 And when the people saw him, they gave praise to their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands the one who was fighting against us, who made our country waste, and who put great numbers of us to death.
Takoðer i narod vidjevši ga hvaljaše boga svojega govoreæi: predade nam bog naš u ruke naše neprijatelja našega i zatiraèa zemlje naše i koji pobi tolike izmeðu nas.
25 Now when their hearts were full of joy, they said, Send for Samson to make sport for us. And they sent for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them; and they put him between the pillars.
I kad se razveseli srce njihovo rekoše: zovite Samsona da nam igra. I dozvaše Samsona iz tamnice da im igra, i namjestiše ga meðu dva stupa.
26 And Samson said to the boy who took him by the hand, Let me put my hand on the pillars supporting the house, so that I may put my back against them.
Tada Samson reèe momku koji ga držaše za ruku: pusti me, da opipam stupove na kojima stoji kuæa, da se naslonim na njih.
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.
A kuæa bijaše puna ljudi i žena i svi knezovi Filistejski bijahu ondje; i na krovu bijaše oko tri tisuæe ljudi i žena, koji gledahu kako Samson igra.
28 And Samson, crying out to the Lord, said, O Lord God, do have me now in mind, and do make me strong only this once, O God, so that I may take one last payment from the Philistines for my two eyes.
Tada Samson zavapi ka Gospodu i reèe: Gospode, Gospode! opomeni me se, molim te, i ukrijepi me, molim te, samo sada, o Bože! da se osvetim jedanput Filistejima za oba oka svoja.
29 Then Samson put his arms round the two middle pillars supporting the house, putting his weight on them, on one with his right hand and on the other with his left.
I zagrli Samson dva stupa srednja, na kojima stajaše kuæa, i nasloni se na njih, na jedan desnom a na drugi lijevom rukom svojom.
30 And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.
Pa onda reèe Samson: neka umrem s Filistejima. I naleže jako, i pade kuæa na knezove i na sav narod koji bješe u njoj; i bi mrtvijeh koje pobi umiruæi više nego onijeh koje pobi za života svojega.
31 Then his brothers and his father's people came down and took him up and put his body to rest in the earth between Zorah and Eshtaol in the resting-place of Manoah his father. And he had been judge of Israel for twenty years.
Poslije doðoše braæa njegova i sav dom oca njegova, i uzeše ga, i vrativši se pogreboše ga izmeðu Saraje i Estaola u grobu Manoja oca njegova. A on bi sudija Izrailju dvadeset godina.
