Sodniki 16
1 Potem je Samson odšel v Gazo in tam videl pocestnico in šel noter k njej.
Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
2 To je bilo povedano prebivalcem Gaze, rekoč: »Samson je prišel sèm.« Obkolili so ga in vso noč prežali nanj v velikih vratih mesta in vso noč so mirovali, rekoč: »Zjutraj, ko je dan, ga bomo umorili.«
And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson has come here. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
3 Samson je ležal do polnoči, ob polnoči pa je vstal, vzel vrata velikih vrat mesta in dva podboja in z njimi odšel proč, zapah in vse in si jih naložil na svoje rame in jih odnesel gor na vrh hriba, ki je pred Hebrónom.
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
4 Potem se je pripetilo, da je ljubil žensko v dolini Sorék, ki ji je bilo ime Dalíla.
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 Filistejski knezi so prišli gor k njej in ji rekli: »Premami ga in poglej kje tiči njegova velika moč in s kakšnimi sredstvi bi lahko prevladali zoper njega, da bi ga lahko zvezali, da ga oslabimo, mi pa ti bomo dali, vsak izmed nas, tisoč sto koščkov srebra.«
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give you every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
6 Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje leži tvoja velika moč in s čim bi bil lahko zvezan, da se te oslabi.«
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray you, wherein your great strength lies, and wherewith you might be bound to afflict you.
7 Samson ji je rekel: »Če me zvežejo s sedmimi zelenimi vrvmi, ki niso bile nikoli posušene, potem bom slaboten in bom kakor drug človek.«
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Potem so filistejski knezi gor k njej prinesli sedem zelenih vrvi, ki niso bile posušene in ona ga je z njimi zvezala.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Torej tam so v zasedi prežali možje, ki so z njo ostajali v sobi. Rekla mu je: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Potrgal je vrvi, kakor se pretrga nit prediva, ko se dotakne ognja. Tako njegova moč ni bila poznana.
Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Glej, zasmehoval si me in mi govoril laži. Sedaj mi povej, prosim te, s čim bi bil lahko zvezan.«
And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray you, wherewith you might be bound.
11 Rekel ji je: »Če bi me trdno zvezali z novimi vrvmi, ki niso bile nikoli uporabljene, potem bi bil šibek in bi bil kakor drug človek.«
And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Zato je Dalíla vzela nove vrvi, ga z njimi zvezala in mu rekla: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« In tam so bili prežavci v zasedi, ki so ostajali v sobi. In potrgal jih je iz svojih rok kakor nit.
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And there were hidden attackers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
13 Dalíla je rekla Samsonu: »Doklej si me zasmehoval in mi govoril laži. Povej mi s čim naj bi bil zvezan.« Rekel ji je: »Če stkeš sedem pramenov moje glave s tkalčjim osnutkom.«
And Delilah said unto Samson, Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith you might be bound. And he said unto her, If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 In pritrdila ga je z iglo in mu rekla: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Prebudil se je iz svojega spanja in odšel s tkalsko iglo in s tkalčjim osnutkom.
And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
15 Rekla mu je: »Kako lahko rečeš: ›Ljubim te, ‹ ko tvoje srce ni z menoj?« Že trikrat si me zasmehoval in mi nisi povedal, v čem leži tvoja velika moč.
And she said unto 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 wherein your great strength lies.
16 Ko ga je dnevno pritiskala s svojimi besedami in ga silila, tako da je bila njegova duša vznemirjena do smrti, se je pripetilo,
And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 da ji je izpovedal vse svoje srce in ji rekel: »Britev ni prišla na mojo glavo, kajti bil sem nazirec Bogu od maternice svoje matere. Če bom obrit, potem bo moja moč odšla od mene in postanem slaboten in bom podoben kateremukoli drugemu človeku.«
That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There has not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
18 Ko je Dalíla videla, da ji je izpovedal vse svoje srce, je poslala in dala poklicati filistejske kneze, rekoč: »Pridite tokrat gor, kajti razodel mi je vse svoje srce.« Potem so gor k njej prišli gospodarji Filistejcev in v svoji roki prinesli denar.
And 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 showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
19 Pripravila ga je, da je zaspal na njenih kolenih in dala poklicati moža, da mu iz njegove glave odstriže sedem pramenov in ga začela poniževati in njegova moč je odšla od njega.
And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 Rekla je: »Filistejci nadte Samson.« Prebudil se je iz svojega spanja in rekel: »Šel bom ven kakor ob drugih časih poprej in se stresel.« Ni pa vedel, da je Gospod odšel od njega.
And she said, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knows not that the LORD was departed from him.
21 Toda Filistejci so ga prijeli in iztaknili njegove oči in ga privedli dol v Gazo in ga zvezali z bronastimi okovi in mlel je v jetnišnici.
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
22 Vendar so potem, ko je bil ostrižen, lasje njegove glave začeli ponovno rasti.
Nevertheless the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
23 Potem so se filistejski knezi zbrali skupaj, da svojemu bogu Dagónu darujejo veliko klavno daritev in da se veselijo, kajti rekli so: »Naš bog je v našo roko izročil našega sovražnika Samsona.«
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together in order to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
24 Ko ga je ljudstvo zagledalo, so hvalili svojega boga, kajti rekli so: »Naš bog je v naše roke izročil našega sovražnika in uničevalca naše dežele, ki je umoril številne izmed nas.«
And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
25 Pripetilo pa se je, ko so bila njihova srca vesela, da so rekli: »Pokličite Samsona, da nam bo lahko naredil zabavo.« Iz jetnišnice so dali poklicati Samsona in naredil jim je zabavo. Postavili so ga med stebre.
And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
26 Samson pa je rekel dečku, ki ga je držal za roko: »Dopusti mi, da lahko čutim stebre, na katerih stoji hiša, da se lahko naslonim nanje.«
And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
27 Torej hiša je bila polna mož in žena in vsi filistejski knezi so bili tam in tam je bilo na strehi okoli tri tisoč mož in žena, ki so gledali, medtem ko jih je Samson zabaval.
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
28 Samson pa je zaklical h Gospodu in rekel: »Oh Gospod Bog, spomni se me, prosim te in okrepi me, prosim te, samo [še] tokrat, oh Bog, da se bom lahko takoj maščeval Filistejcem za svoji dve očesi.«
And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray you, and strengthen me, I pray you, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 Samson se je oklenil dveh srednjih nosilnih stebrov, na katerih, je slonela hiša, na enega s svojo desnico in na drugega s svojo levico.
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 Samson je rekel: »Naj umrem s Filistejci.« Z vso svojo močjo se je sklonil in hiša je padla na kneze in na vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njej. Tako je bilo mrtvih, ki jih je usmrtil ob svoji smrti, več kakor tistih, ki jih je usmrtil v svojem življenju.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
31 Potem so njegovi bratje in vsa hiša njegovega očeta prišli dol, ga vzeli in ga prinesli gor ter ga pokopali med Coro in Eštaólom, na grobišču njegovega očeta Manóaha. Izraelu je sodil dvajset let.
Then his brethren 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 buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
