¹And Samson goeth to Gaza, and seeth there a woman, a harlot, and goeth in unto her;

¹Siis Simson läks Assasse, nägi seal ühte hooranaist ja läks selle juurde.

²[it is told] to the Gazathites, saying, `Samson hath come in hither;` and they go round and lay wait for him all the night at the gate of the city, and keep themselves silent all the night, saying, `Till the light of the morning — then we have slain him.`

²Kui assalastele öeldi: 'Simson on siia tulnud', siis nad piirasid ja varitsesid teda kogu öö linna väravas. Aga nad olid kogu öö rahulikud, öeldes: 'Kui hommik valgeneb, siis me tapame tema.'

³And Samson lieth down till the middle of the night, and riseth in the middle of the night, and layeth hold on the doors of the gate of the city, and on the two side posts, and removeth them with the bar, and putteth on his shoulders, and taketh them up unto the top of the hill, which [is] on the front of Hebron.

³Ja Simson magas keskööni. Aga keskööl tõusis ta üles, haaras kinni linna värava tiibadest ja mõlemast piidast, tõmbas need välja ühes poomiga, tõstis enesele õlgadele ja viis need üles mäetippu, mis on Hebroni kohal.

⁴And it cometh to pass afterwards that he loveth a woman in the valley of Sorek, and her name [is] Delilah,

⁴Ja pärast seda armastas ta Soreki jõe ääres Deliila-nimelist naist.

⁵and the princes of the Philistines come up unto her, and say to her, `Entice him, and see wherein his great power [is], and wherein we are able for him — and we have bound him to afflict him, and we — we give to thee, each one, eleven hundred silverlings.`

⁵Siis vilistite vürstid tulid naise juurde ja ütlesid temale: 'Meelita teda ja vaata, kus tal see suur jõud on ja kuidas me saaksime temast jagu ja teda kinni siduda, et teda alistada, siis anname igamees sulle tuhat ükssada hõbeseeklit!'

⁶And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Declare, I pray thee, to me, wherein thy great power [is], and wherewith thou art bound, to afflict thee.`

⁶Ja Deliila ütles Simsonile: 'Räägi mulle, kus sul see suur jõud on ja millega tuleks sind siduda, et sind saaks alistada?'

⁷And Samson saith unto her, `If they bind me with seven green withs which have not been dried, then I have been weak, and have been as one of the human race.`

⁷Simson vastas temale: 'Kui mind seotakse seitsme toore loomakõõlusega, mis ei ole kuivanud, siis jään ma jõuetuks ja olen nagu iga muu inimene.'

⁸And the princes of the Philistines bring up to her seven green withs which have not been dried, and she bindeth him with them.

⁸Siis vilistite vürstid tõid naisele seitse toorest loomakõõlust, mis ei olnud kuivanud, ja ta sidus teda nendega.

⁹And the ambush is abiding with her in an inner chamber, and she saith unto him, `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;` and he breaketh the withs as a thread of tow is broken in its smelling fire, and his power hath not been known.

⁹Ja naise juures kambris istus varitseja. Kui naine ütles Simsonile: 'Vilistid tulevad sulle kallale, Simson!', siis ta rebis loomakõõlused katki, otsekui rebeneks takulõng, kui see nuusutab tuld; ja tema jõudu ei saadud teada.

¹⁰And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Lo, thou hast played upon me, and speakest unto me lies; now, declare, I pray thee, to me, wherewith thou art bound.`

¹⁰Ja Deliila ütles Simsonile: 'Vaata, sa oled mind narrinud ja rääkinud mulle valet. Räägi nüüd ometi mulle, millega saab sind siduda!'

¹¹And he saith unto her, `If they certainly bind me with thick bands, new ones, by which work hath not been done, then I have been weak, and have been as one of the human race.`

¹¹Ta ütles siis temale: 'Kui mind seotakse uute köitega, millega ei ole tööd tehtud, siis jään ma jõuetuks ja olen nagu muud inimesed.'

¹²And Delilah taketh thick bands, new ones, and bindeth him with them, and saith unto him, `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;` and the ambush is abiding in an inner chamber, and he breaketh them from off his arms as a thread.

¹²Siis Deliila võttis uued köied ja sidus teda nendega ning ütles temale: 'Vilistid tulevad sulle kallale, Simson!' Ja kambris istus varitseja; aga Simson kiskus köied oma käsivartelt katki nagu niidid.

¹³And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Hitherto thou hast played upon me, and dost speak unto me lies; declare to me wherewith thou art bound.` And he saith unto her, `If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.`

¹³Ja Deliila ütles Simsonile: 'Senini oled sa mind narrinud ja mulle valet rääkinud; avalda mulle, millega saab sind siduda!' Ja ta vastas temale: 'Kui sa kood mu peast seitse juuksekiharat lõimedesse.'

¹⁴And she fixeth [it] with the pin, and saith unto him, `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;` and he awaketh out of his sleep, and journeyeth with the pin of the weaving machine, and with the web.

¹⁴Siis ta lõi need lõksutiga kinni ja ütles temale: 'Vilistid tulevad sulle kallale, Simson!' Kui Simson ärkas unest, siis kiskus ta välja soa ühes koe ja lõimedega.

¹⁵And she saith unto him, `How dost thou say, I have loved thee, and thy heart is not with me? these three times thou hast played upon me, and hast not declared to me wherein thy great power [is].`

¹⁵Ja Deliila ütles temale: 'Kuidas sa võid öelda: Ma armastan sind, kui su süda ei ole minu juures? Juba kolm korda oled sa mind narrinud ega ole mulle avaldanud, kus su suur jõud on.'

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, because she distressed him with her words all the days, and doth urge him, and his soul is grieved to death,

¹⁶Ja sündis, kui ta iga päev teda oma kõnedega kitsikusse ajas ja temale peale käis, et ta hing tüdines surmani

¹⁷that he declareth to her all his heart, and saith to her, `A razor hath not gone up on my head, for a Nazarite to God I [am] from the womb of my mother; if I have been shaven, then hath my power turned aside from me, and I have been weak, and have been as any of the human race.`

¹⁷ja ta avas temale kogu oma südame ning ütles: 'Habemenuga ei ole saanud mu pea ligi, sest ma olen emaihust alates eraldatud Jumalale. Kui mind pöetakse, siis mu jõud lahkub minust ja ma muutun jõuetuks ning olen nagu kõik muud inimesed.'

¹⁸And Delilah seeth that he hath declared to her all his heart, and she sendeth and calleth for the princes of the Philistines, saying, `Come up this time, for he hath declared to me all his heart;` and the princes of the Philistines have come up unto her, and bring up the money in their hand.

¹⁸Kui Deliila nägi, et Simson oli temale avanud kogu oma südame, siis läkitas ta vilistite vürstidele teate, öeldes: 'Tulge nüüd, sest ta on mulle avanud kogu oma südame!' Ja vilistite vürstid tulid ta juurde ning tõid raha kaasa.

¹⁹and she maketh him sleep on her knees, and calleth for a man, and shaveth the seven locks of his head, and beginneth to afflict him, and his power turneth aside from off him;

¹⁹Ta uinutas Simsonit oma põlvedel ja kutsus ühe mehe, kes pügas tema seitse juuksekiharat; ta nõrgestas Simsonit ja selle jõud lahkus temast.

²⁰and she saith, `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;` and he awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `I go out as time by time, and shake myself;` and he hath not known that Jehovah hath turned aside from off him.

²⁰Ja Deliila ütles: 'Vilistid tulevad sulle kallale, Simson!' Simson ärkas unest ja mõtles: 'Ma lähen välja nagu ennegi ja raputan enese lahti!' Aga ta ei teadnud, et Issand oli temast lahkunud.

²¹And the Philistines seize him, and pick out his eyes, and bring him down to Gaza, and bind him with two brazen fetters; and he is grinding in the prison-house.

²¹Ja vilistid võtsid ta kinni ja torkasid tal silmad välja; ja nad viisid ta Assasse, aheldasid vaskahelatega ja ta pidi vangikojas jahvatama.

²²And the hair of his head beginneth to shoot up, when he hath been shaven,

²²Aga ta juuksed hakkasid jälle kasvama, pärast seda kui need olid pöetud.

²³and the princes of the Philistines have been gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; and they say, `Our god hath given into our hand Samson our enemy.`

²³Ja vilistite vürstid kogunesid, et ohverdada suurt ohvrit oma jumalale Daagonile ja et olla rõõmsad, ja nad ütlesid: 'Meie jumal on meie kätte andnud Simsoni, meie vaenlase.'

²⁴And the people see him, and praise their god, for they said, `Our god hath given in our hand our enemy, and he who is laying waste our land, and who multiplied our wounded.`

²⁴Kui rahvas teda nägi, siis nad kiitsid oma jumalat, sest nad ütlesid: 'Meie jumal on meie kätte andnud meie vaenlase, meie maa laastaja, kes lõi meist paljud maha.'

²⁵And it cometh to pass, when their heart [is] glad, that they say, `Call for Samson, and he doth play before us;` and they call for Samson out of the prison-house, and he playeth before them, and they cause him to stand between the pillars.

²⁵Ja et nende süda oli rõõmus, siis nad ütlesid: 'Kutsuge Simson, et ta meid lõbustaks!' Ja nad kutsusid Simsoni vangikojast ja ta tegi nalja nende ees; nad panid ta seisma sammaste vahele.

²⁶And Samson saith unto the young man who is keeping hold on his hand, `Let me alone, and let me feel the pillars on which the house is established, and I lean upon them.`

²⁶Siis Simson ütles poisile, kes tal käest kinni hoidis: 'Jäta mind, lase ma puudutan sambaid, millele hoone tugineb, et ma nende vastu saaksin nõjatuda!'

²⁷And the house hath been full of men and of women, and thither [are] all the princes of the Philistines, and on the roof [are] about three thousand men and women, who are looking on the playing of Samson.

²⁷Aga hoone oli täis mehi ja naisi, ja seal olid kõik vilistite vürstid; ja katusel oli Simsoni naljategemist vaatamas ligi kolm tuhat meest ja naist.

²⁸And Samson calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, `Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me, I pray Thee, only this time, O God; and I am avenged — vengeance at once — because of my two eyes, on the Philistines.`

²⁸Siis Simson hüüdis Issandat ja ütles: 'Issand Jumal! Mõtle ometi minu peale ja tee mind tugevaks ainult veel selleks korraks, oh Jumal, et saaksin vilistitele ühe korraga kätte maksta oma mõlema silma eest!'

²⁹And Samson turneth aside [to] the two middle pillars, on which the house is established, and on which it is supported, [to] the one with his right hand, and one with his left;

²⁹Ja Simson haaras kinni kahest keskmisest sambast, millele hoone tugines, ja toetus neile, ühele parema ja teisele vasaku käega.

³⁰and Samson saith, `Let me die with the Philistines,` and he inclineth himself powerfully, and the house falleth on the princes, and on all the people who [are] in it, and the dead whom he hath put to death in his death are more than those whom he put to death in his life.

³⁰Ja Simson ütles: 'Surgu mu hing koos vilistitega!' Siis ta tõmbas enese võimsasti kummargile ja hoone langes vürstide ja kogu sees oleva rahva peale; ja nii oli surnuid, keda ta surres surmas, rohkem kui neid, keda ta oma elus oli surmanud.

³¹And his brethren come down, and all the house of his father, and lift him up, and bring him up, and bury him between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoah his father; and he hath judged Israel twenty years.

³¹Siis tulid ta vennad ja kogu ta isa pere ja nad võtsid ta kaasa ning viisid ta Sora ja Estaoli vahele ja matsid ta seal tema isa Maanoahi hauda; ta oli Iisraelile kohut mõistnud kakskümmend aastat.
