¹Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

¹Potom odišiel Samson do Gazy a uvidiac tam ženu smilnicu vošiel k nej.

²And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. 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.

²A voľakto povedal Gažanom: Samson prišiel sem! Vtedy ho obkľúčili a úkladili mu celú noc v bráne mesta. A boli ticho celú noc a vraveli: Čakať, až bude svetlo ráno, a zabijeme ho.

³And 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.

³A Samson ležal až do polnoci. Potom o polnoci vstal, pochytil vráta brány mesta s oboma podvojami a vytrhnúc ich aj so závorou vzložil na svoje plecia a vyniesol ich na temeno vrchu, ktorý leží naproti Hebronu.

⁴And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

⁴A stalo sa potom, že si zamiloval ženu na doline Sórek, ktorej to žene bolo meno Delila.

⁵And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

⁵A prišli k nej hore kniežatá Filištínov a povedali jej: Prehovor ho a zveď, v čom leží jeho veľká sila, a čím by sme ho mohli premôcť, aby sme ho poviazali a pokorili. A my ti dáme každý tisíc a jednosto šeklov striebra.

⁶And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.

⁶Vtedy povedala Delila Samsonovi: Povedz mi, prosím, v čom leží tvoja veľká sila, a čím by ťa bolo možno poviazať a tak pokoriť?

⁷And 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.

⁷A Samson jej povedal: Keby ma poviazali siedmimi surovými húžvami, ktoré ešte neuschly, nemal by som vlády a bol by som ako ktorýkoľvek iný človek.

⁸Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

⁸A kniežatá Filištínov jej doniesli hore sedem surových húžev, ktoré ešte neboly uschly, a poviazala ho nimi.

⁹Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.

⁹A úkladník jej sedel v komore. A povedala mu: Filištíni na teba, Samsone! Ale on roztrhol húžvy, jako sa roztrhne motúz z kúdele, keď zavonia oheň. A nebola poznaná jeho sila.

¹⁰And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.

¹⁰Vtedy povedala Delila Samsonovi: Hľa, oklamal si ma a hovoril si mi lži. Nože mi teraz povedz, prosím, čím by si mohol byť poviazaný.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Na to jej odpovedal: Keby ma dobre poviazali novými povrazmi, ktorými sa ešte nič nerobilo, nemal by som vlády a bol by som ako ktorýkoľvek iný človek.

¹²Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.

¹²A Delila vzala nové povrazy a poviazala ho nimi a povedala mu: Filištíni na teba, Samsone! A úkladník sedel v komore. Ale on ich roztrhol a shodil so svojich ramien ako niti.

¹³And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.

¹³Tu povedala Delila Samsonovi: Až doteraz si ma klamal a hovoril si mi lži. Povedz mi, čím by si mohol byť poviazaný! A povedal jej: Keby si sotkala sedem vrkočov mojej hlavy s osnovou.

¹⁴And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.

¹⁴A urobila tak, zarazila klinom a povedala mu: Filištíni na teba, Samsone! Ale keď sa prebudil zo svojho spánku, vytrhol klin tkaniva aj s osnovou.

¹⁵And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

¹⁵Na to mu povedala: Jako môžeš povedať: Milujem ťa, keď nie je so mnou tvoje srdce? Toto už trikrát si ma oklamal a nepovedal si mi, v čom leží tvoja veľká sila.

¹⁶And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

¹⁶A stalo sa, keď ho len deň ako deň sužovala svojimi slovami a naliehala na neho, že to už nemohla zniesť jeho duša, znavená až na smrť.

¹⁷That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath 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.

¹⁷vtedy jej vyjavil celé svoje srdce a povedal jej; Britva nikdy nevyšla na moju hlavu, lebo som nazarej Boží od života svojej matky. Keby ma oholili, odišla by odo mňa moja sila, a nemal by som vlády, ale by som bol ako každý iný človek.

¹⁸And 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 hath showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

¹⁸A Delila vidiac, že jej vyjavil celé svoje srdce, poslala a zavolala kniežatá Filištínov a odkázala: Poďte už teraz hore, lebo mi vyjavil celé svoje srdce. A tak prišli k nej hore kniežatá Filištínov a doniesli striebro vo svojej ruke.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹A keď ho uspala na svojich kolenách, zavolala človeka a sholila sedem vrkočov jeho hlavy a začala ho pokorovať. A tak odišla jeho sila od neho.

²⁰And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.

²⁰A povedala: Filištíni na teba, Samsone! A keď sa prebudil zo svojho spánku, povedal si: Vyjdem von ako po každé a otrasiem sa. Ale on nevedel, že Hospodin odišiel od neho.

²¹But 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.

²¹Vtedy ho pochytili Filištíni a vyklali mu oči a odviedli ho dolu do Gazy, poviazali ho dvoma medenými reťazami, a mlel v dome väzňov.

²²Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

²²Ale vlas jeho hlavy započal zase rásť po jeho oholení.

²³Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

²³A kniežatá Filištínov sa shromaždili, aby obetovali veľkú bitnú obeť Dágonovi, svojmu bohu, a aby sa veselili, lebo povedali: Náš boh dal Samsona, nášho nepriateľa, do našej ruky.

²⁴And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.

²⁴A keď ho videl ľud, chválil svojeho boha, lebo vravel: Náš boh dal nášho nepriateľa do našej ruky a toho, ktorý pustošil našu zem a pobil mnohých z našich ľudí.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵A stalo sa, keď sa už bolo rozveselilo ich srdce, že povedali: Zavolajte Samsona, aby nás zabával. A tak zavolali Samsona z domu väzňov, a robil žarty pred nimi. A postavili ho medzi stĺpy.

²⁶And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.

²⁶A Samson povedal mládencovi, ktorý ho držal za ruku a vodil: Nechaj ma a daj mi ohmatať stĺpy, na ktorých stojí dom, aby som sa oprel o ne.

²⁷Now 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.

²⁷A dom bol plný mužov i žien, a boly ta sídené všetky kniežatá Filištínov, a na streche bolo asi tri tisíce mužov a žien, ktorí sa dívali, keď zabával Samson.

²⁸And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

²⁸A Samson volal k Hospodinovi a povedal: Pane, Hospodine, rozpomeň sa, prosím, na mňa a posilni ma, prosím, už len tento raz, ó, Bože, aby som sa raz pomstil na Filištínoch za obe svoje oči!

²⁹And 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.

²⁹Vtedy objal Samson oba prostredné stĺpy, na ktorých stál dom a na ktorých spočíval, jeden svojou pravou rukou a druhý svojou ľavou rukou.

³⁰And 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.

³⁰A Samson povedal: Nech tedy zomrie moja duša s Filištínmi! A nahol sa mocne, a dom padol na kniežatá a na všetok ľud, ktorý bol v ňom, takže bolo mŕtvych, ktorých pobil, keď zomieral, viacej, než bolo tých, ktorých pobil vo svojom živote.

³¹Then 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.

³¹Potom sišli jeho bratia i celý dom jeho otca a vezmúc ho odniesli hore a pochovali ho medzi Careou a medzi Eštaolom, v hrobe Manoacha, jeho otca. A on súdil Izraela dvadsať rokov.
