Книга Судей израилевых 16
1 И иде Сампсон в Газу, и виде тамо жену блудницу и вниде к ней.
He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman a harlot, and went in unto her.
2 И поведаша Газяном, глаголюще: прииде Сампсон семо. И обыдоша и подседоша ему всю нощь у врат градных, и утаишася всю нощь, глаголюще: дондеже осветает утро, и убием его.
And when the Philistines had beard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out.
3 И спа Сампсон до полунощи: и воста в полунощи, и восхити двери у врат града со обеими вереями, и подя оныя с заворою, и возложи я на рамена своя, и вознесе я на верх горы, яже пред лицем Хеврона, и положи их тамо.
But Samson slept till midnight, and then rising he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof, and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards Hebron.
4 И бысть по сем, и возлюби жену от водотечи Сориховы: имя же ей Далида.
After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila.
5 И взыдоша к ней князи иноплеменничи и рекоша ей: прельсти его, и виждь, в чем есть крепость его великая, и чим преможем его, и свяжем его, яко смирити его: и мы тебе дадим кийждо тысящу и сто сребреников.
And the princes of the Philistines came to her, and said: Deceive him, and learn of him wherein his great strength lieth, and how we may be able to overcome him, to bind and afflict him: which if thou shalt do, we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
6 И рече Далида к Сампсону: повеждь ми ныне, в чем крепость твоя (тако) великая, и чим свяжешися и смиришися?
And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is wherewith if thou wert bound thou couldst not break loose.
7 И рече ей Сампсон: аще свяжут мя седмию тятивами сырыми неистлевшими, и изнемогу, и буду яко един от человек.
And Samson answered her: If I shall be bound with seven cords made of sinews not yet dry, but still moist, I shall be weak like other men.
8 И принесоша ей князи от иноплеменник седмь тятив мокрых неистлевших, и связа его ими:
And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such is he spoke of, with which she bound him;
9 и подсада ему седяше в храмине. И рече ему: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. И расторже тятивы, аки бы кто расторгнул соскание изгребий, егда коснется ему огнь: и не уведася крепость его.
Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength Jay.
10 И рече Далида к Сампсону: се, прельстил еси мя, глаголя ко мне лжу: ныне убо повеждь ми, чим свяжешися?
And Dalila said to him: Behold thou hast mocked me, and hast told me a false thing: but now at least tell me wherewith thou mayest be bound.
11 И рече к ней: аще вяжуще свяжут мя ужы новыми, имиже не делано, и изнемогу, и буду яко един от человек.
And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men.
12 И взя Далида ужы новы и связа его ими, и рече ему: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. Подсада же седяше в храмине. И расторже я от руку своею аки нить.
Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs.
13 И рече Далида к Сампсону: даже до ныне прельщал мя еси и глаголал ко мне лжу: повеждь ми убо, чим свяжешися? И рече ей: аще сплетеши седмь плениц влас главы моея спрядением и вбиеши колом в стену, и буду немощен яко един от человек.
And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? Shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak.
14 И успи Далида его на коленех своих, и бысть внегда уснути ему, взя Далида седмь плениц влас главы его и сплете спрядением и вонзе колом в стену, и рече: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. И возбну от сна своего и исторже кол сплетением из стены, и не уведася крепость его.
And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace.
15 И рече к нему Далида: како глаголеши, возлюбих тя, и сердце твое несть со мною? Се, третие прельстил еси мя, и не поведал еси мне, в чем крепость твоя великая.
And Dalila said to him: How dost thou say thou lovest me, when thy mind is not with me? Thou hast told me lies these three times, and wouldst not tell me wherein thy great strength lieth.
16 И бысть егда стужи ему словесы своими по вся дни, и убеди его, и изнеможе даже до умертвия.
And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even until death.
17 И поведа ей все сердце свое, и рече к ней: железо не взыде на главу мою, яко назорей есмь аз Господу от утробы матере моея: аще убо обриюся, отступит от мене крепость моя, и изнемогу, и буду якоже вси человецы.
Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother’s womb: if my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men.
18 И виде Далида, яко поведа ей все сердце свое, посла и призва князи иноплеменничи, глаголющи: взыдите еще единою, яко поведа ми все сердце свое. И взыдоша к ней вси князи иноплеменничи, и принесоша сребро в руках своих.
Then seeing that be had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up taking with them the money which they had promised.
19 И успи Далида Сампсона на коленех своих: и призва стригача, и остриже седмь плениц влас главы его: и нача смирятися, и отступи крепость его от него.
But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber, and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him.
20 И рече Далида: иноплеменницы на тя, Сампсоне. И возбудися от сна своего и рече: изыду якоже и прежде, и отрясуся. И не разуме, яко Господь отступи от него.
And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him.
21 И яша его иноплеменницы, и избодоша ему очи, и введоша его в Газу, и оковаша его путы медяны: и бяше меля в храмине темничней.
Then the Philistines seized upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind.
22 И начаша власы главы его расти по острижении.
And now his hair began to grow again.
23 И князи иноплеменничи собрашася пожрети жертву велику Дагону богу своему и возвеселитися, и рекоша: предаде бог наш в руки нашя Сампсона врага нашего.
And the princes of the Philistines assembled together, to offer great sacrifices to Dagon their god, and to make merry, saying: Our god hath delivered our enemy Samson into our hands.
24 И видеша его людие, и похвалиша бога своего, яко реша: предаде бог наш в руки нашя врага нашего, опустошившаго землю нашу, и иже умножи язвенных наших.
And the people also seeing this, praised their god, and said the same: Our god hath delivered our adversary into our bands, him that destroyed our country and killed very many.
25 И бысть егда возблажа сердце их, и рекоша: призовите Сампсона из дому темничнаго, и да играет пред нами. И призваша Сампсона из дому темничнаго, и играша пред ними: и заушаху его, и поставиша его между столпы.
And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison he played before them, and they made him stand between two pillars.
26 И рече Сампсон ко юноши держащему его за руку: остави мене, да осяжу столпы, на нихже дом сей утвержден есть, и опруся на них. Юноша же сотвори тако.
And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little.
27 Дом же бяше полн мужей и жен, и тамо вси князи иноплеменничи: на крове же том до трех тысящ мужей и жен, зряще ругаемаго Сампсона.
Now the house was full of men and women, and all the princes of the Philistines were there. Moreover about three thousand persons of both sexes from the roof and the higher part of the house, were beholding Samson’s play.
28 И воззва Сампсон ко Господу и рече: Адонаи Господи, Господи Сил, помяни мя ныне, и укрепи мя еще единою, Боже, да воздам мщение едино за два ока моя Филистимом.
But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God, remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge.
29 И объя Сампсон оба столпа средния, на нихже храмина бяше утверждена, и опреся на них, держя един рукою десною, а другий левою.
And laying hold on both the pillars on which the house rested, and holding the one with his right hand, and the other with his left,
30 И рече Сампсон: да умрет душа моя со иноплеменники. И преклонися крепостию, и паде храмина на князи и на вся люди иже в ней: и бысть мертвых, ихже умертви Сампсон при смерти своей, множае неже ихже умертви в животе своем.
He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life.
31 И снидоша братия его и весь дом отца его, и взяша его: и взыдоша, и погребоша его между Сараи и между Есфаолом во гробе Маноя отца его. И сей суди Израилю лет двадесять. (и воста по Сампсоне Емегар сын Енань, и уби от иноплеменников шесть сот мужей кроме скота, и спасе и он Израиля.)
And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years.
