¹And Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.

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

²[And 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, [Let be] till morning light, then we will kill 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 lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before 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 came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

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

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.

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 said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be 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 said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.

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

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

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

⁹Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not 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 said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.

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

¹¹And he said unto her, If they only bind me with new ropes wherewith no work hath been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.

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

¹²So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And the liers-in-wait were abiding in the inner chamber. And he brake them off his arms like 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 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.

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 fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and 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 said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

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 came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death.

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

¹⁷And he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I have been a Nazirite 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.

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 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 told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought 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 made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from 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 said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free. But he knew not that Jehovah was departed from 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 laid hold on him, and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind 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.

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

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

²³And the lords of the Philistines gathered them together 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.

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 when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, who hath slain many of us.

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 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 sport before them. And they set him 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 said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house resteth, that I may 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!'

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.

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 called unto Jehovah, and said, O Lord Jehovah, 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.

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 took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and leaned upon them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.

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

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 that he slew at his death were more than they that he slew 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.

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 burying-place of Manoah his father. And he 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.
