Judges 16
1 One day Samson went to Gaza [city in the Philistia area]. He spent some time with a prostitute.
Потом отиде Самсон у Газу, и онде виде једну жену курву, и уђе к њој.
2 People soon found out that Samson was there, so the men of Gaza gathered together at the city gate and waited all night. They said to themselves, “When it dawns tomorrow morning, we will kill him [when he tries to leave the city].”
И људима у Гази би казано: Дође Самсон овамо. И опколише и вребаше га целу ноћ на вратима градским; и стајаху у потаји целу ноћ говорећи: Док сване, убићемо га.
3 But Samson did not stay there all night. At midnight, he got up. He went to the city gate, he took hold of its two posts, and he lifted it up out of the ground, with its [connecting cross] bar still attached. He put it on his shoulders and carried it [many miles] uphill to Hebron.
Али Самсон спавав до поноћи уста у поноћи, и шчепа врата градска с оба довратка и ишчупа их с преворницом заједно, и метну их на рамена и однесе на врх горе која је према Хеврону.
4 Later Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, [and started to live with her]. She lived in Sorek Valley [in the Philistia area].
После тога замилова девојку на потоку Сорику, којој беше име Далида.
5 The Philistine leaders went to her and said, “Find out from Samson what makes him so strong. And find out how we can subdue him and tie him up securely. If you do that, each of us will give you 1,100 pieces of silver.”
И дођоше к њој кнезови филистејски и рекоше јој: Превари га и искушај где му стоји велика снага и како би смо му досадили да га свежемо и савладамо; а ми ћемо ти дати сваки по хиљаду и сто сребрника.
6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me what makes you so strong, and tell me how someone can subdue you and tie you up.”
И Далида рече Самсону: Хајде кажи ми где стоји твоја велика снага и чим би се могао свезати и савладати.
7 Samson said, “If someone ties me with seven new bowstrings, ones that are not dry yet, I will become as weak as other men.”
А Самсон јој рече: Да ме свежу у седам гужава сирових неосушених, онда бих изгубио снагу и био као и други човек.
8 So [after Delilah told that to the Philistine leaders], they brought seven new bowstrings to Delilah.
И донесоше јој кнезови филистејски седам гужава сирових, још неосушених, и она га свеза њима.
9 Then she hid the men in one of the rooms in her house. Then [while Samson was sleeping], she tied him up with the bowstrings. Then she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come here to capture you!” But Samson snapped the bowstrings as easily as though they were strings that had been singed in a fire. So the Philistines did not find out what made Samson so strong.
А код ње беше заседа у соби; и она му рече: Ето Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он покида гужве, као што се кида конац од кудеље кад осети ватру; и не дозна се за снагу његову.
10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have deceived me and lied to me! Now tell me [the truth, ] how someone can tie you up securely.”
Потом рече Далида Самсону: Гле, преварио си ме, и слагао си ми; него хајде кажи ми чим би се могао свезати.
11 Samson replied, “If someone ties me with new ropes, ones that have never been used, I will be as weak as other men.”
А он јој рече: Да ме добро свежу новим ужима којима није ништа рађено, тада бих изгубио снагу и био бих као други човек.
12 So again, [she told the Philistine leaders, and] they [came and] hid in the room as they had done before. And again, while Samson was sleeping, she took the new ropes and tied him up with them. Then she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” But Samson snapped the ropes on his arms as easily as if they were threads.
И Далида узе нова ужа, и свеза га њима, пак му рече: Ето Филистеји на те Самсоне! А заседа беше у соби. А он раскиде с руку ужа као конац.
13 Then Delilah said, “You have deceived me and lied to me [again]! Please tell me how someone can tie you up securely!” Samson replied, “If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the threads you are weaving on the loom, and then fasten those threads with the pin [that makes the threads tight], then I will be as weak as other men.” So again, while Samson was sleeping on her lap, Delilah held the seven braids of his hair, and wove them into the threads on the loom,
Тада рече Далида Самсону: Једнако ме вараш и лажеш ми; кажи ми чим би се могао свезати? А он јој рече: Да седам прамена косе на глави мојој привијеш на вратило.
14 and she tightened them with the pin. Then she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” But Samson woke up and pulled out the pin, and pulled his hair from the threads on the loom.
И она заглавивши вратило коцем, рече: Ево Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он се пробуди од сна, и истрже колац и основу и вратило.
15 Then Delilah said to him, “How can you say that you love me when you do not tell me the truth about yourself? You have deceived me three times, and you still have not told me what really makes you so strong!”
Опет му она рече: Како можеш говорити: Љубим те, кад срце твоје није код мене? Већ си ме три пута преварио не хотећи ми казати где ти је велика снага.
16 Day after day she nagged him like that. He thought he would die from her nagging [IDM].
И она му досађиваше својим речима сваки дан и наваљиваше на њ, и душа му пренеможе да умре.
17 Finally Samson told her the truth. He said, “I have been set apart for God since the day I was born. And because of that, my hair has never been cut. If my hair were shaved off, my strength would be gone, and I would be as weak as other men.”
Те јој отвори цело срце своје, и рече јој: Бритва није никад прешла преко главе моје, јер сам назиреј Божји од утробе матере своје; да се обријем, оставила би ме снага моја и ослабио бих, и био бих као сваки човек
18 Delilah realized that this time he had told her the truth. So she summoned the Philistine leaders again, saying, “Come back one more time, because Samson has really told me everything [about why he is so strong]”. So the Philistine leaders returned and brought to Delilah the money [that they promised to give her].
А Далида видећи да јој је отворио цело срце своје, посла и позва кнезове филистејске поручивши им: Ходите сада, јер ми је отворио цело срце своје. Тада дођоше кнезови филистејски к њој и донесоше новце у рукама својим.
19 Again she lulled Samson to sleep, with his head in her lap. Then she called one of the Philistine men to come and shave off Samson’s hair. As he did that, Samson began to get weaker. And finally his strength was all gone.
А она га успава на крилу свом, и дозва човека те му обрија седам прамена косе с главе, и она га прва свлада кад га остави снага његова.
20 Then [after she tied him up], she called out, “Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!” He woke up and thought, “I will do as I did before. I will shake [these ropes] off myself and be free!” But he did not realize that Yahweh had left him.
И она рече: Ето Филистеја на те, Самсоне! А он пробудивши се од сна рече: Изаћи ћу као и пре и отећу се; јер не знаше да је Господ одступио од њега.
21 So the Philistine men seized him and gouged out his eyes. Then they took him to Gaza. There they put him in prison and bound him with bronze chains. They made him [turn a millstone to] grind grain [every day].
Тада га ухватише Филистеји, и ископаше му очи, и одведоше га у Газу и оковаше га у двоје вериге бронзане; и мељаше у тамници.
22 But his hair started to grow again.
А коса на глави његовој поче расти као што је била кад га обријаше.
23 [Several months later] the Philistine leaders celebrated a big festival. During the festival they offered sacrifices to their god Dagon. They praised him, saying, “Our god has enabled us to defeat our great enemy Samson!”
И кнезови филистејски скупише се да принесу велику жртву Дагону богу свом, и да се провеселе, па рекоше: Предаде нам бог наш у руке наше Самсона непријатеља нашег.
24 And when the other people saw Samson, they also praised their god Dagon, saying, “Samson ruined our crops and killed many of our people, but our god has put our enemy into our hands. Our god helped us to capture the one who has killed so many of us!”
Такође и народ видевши га хваљаше бога свог говорећи: Предаде нам бог наш у руке наше непријатеља нашег и затирача земље наше и који поби толике између нас.
25 By that time the people were half-drunk. They shouted, “Bring Samson out of the prison! Bring him here so that he can entertain us!” So they brought Samson from the prison and made fun of him. Then they made him stand in the center of the temple. They made him stand between the two pillars that held up the roof.
И кад се развесели срце њихово рекоше: Зовите Самсона да нам игра. И дозваше Самсона из тамнице да им игра, и наместише га међу два стуба.
26 Samson said to the servant who was leading him by his hand, “Place my hands against the two pillars. I want to rest against them.”
Тада Самсон рече момку који га држаше за руку: Пусти ме, да опипам стубове на којима стоји кућа, да се наслоним на њих.
27 At that time the temple was full of men and women. All the Philistine leaders were also there. And there were about 3,000 people on the roof, watching Samson and making fun of him.
А кућа беше пуна људи и жена и сви кнезови филистејски беху онде; и на крову беше око три хиљаде људи и жена, који гледаху како Самсон игра.
28 Then Samson prayed, saying, “Yahweh, my Lord, think about me again! Please give me strength one more time, so that I may get revenge on the Philistines for gouging out my eyes!”
Тада Самсон завапи ка Господу и рече: Господе, Господе! Опомени ме се, молим те, и укрепи ме, молим те, само сада, о Боже! Да се осветим једанпут Филистејима за оба ока своја.
29 Then Samson put his hands on the two center pillars of the temple. He put his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other pillar.
И загрли Самсон два стуба средња, на којима стајаше кућа, и наслони се на њих, на један десном а на други левом руком својом.
30 Then he shouted [to God], “Let me die with the Philistines!”, and he pushed with all his strength. [The pillars collapsed], and the temple crashed down on the Philistine leaders and all the other Philistine people, [and they all died]. So Samson killed more people when he died than he had killed all during his life.
Па онда рече Самсон: Нека умрем с Филистејима. И належе јако, и паде кућа на кнезове и на сав народ који беше у њој; и би мртвих које поби умирући више него оних које поби за живота свог.
31 Later his brothers and their relatives went down [from Zorah to Gaza] to get his body. They took it back home and buried it between Zorah and Eshtaol, at the place where Samson’s father Manoah was buried. Samson had been Israel’s leader for 20 years.
После дођоше браћа његова и сав дом оца његовог, и узеше га, и вративши се погребоше га између Сараје и Естола у гробу Маноја оца његовог. А он би судија Израиљу двадесет година.
