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

¹Huan, Samson bel Gaza khua ah a hoha, huaiah kijuak a vamua, a kithuahpiha.

²[And it was told] the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they surrounded [him], and laid wait for him all night at the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning light we will kill him.

²Huan, Samson hiaiah a hong, chiin, Gaza mite a hilh ua, Huchiin a umta ua, khopi kulh kongpi chinah jankhuain a tang ua, jankhuain a dai sisip uh a, khua hongvak peuhmah leh, huchiin that na ni, a chi ua.

³And Samson lay till midnight; and he arose at midnight, and seized the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and tore them up with the bar, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.

³Huan, Samson bel jankim tanin a luma, huan, jankimin a thoua, khopi kulh kongkhakte leh a khuam nih a lena, a kalhnate toh a phawi khe veka, a liangjang ah a pua, Hebron jawn mualvumah a pu tou buambuam mai hi.

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

⁴Huan, hichi ahi a, a nungin Sorek guama numei khat a deihtaa, a min bel Delaila ahi.

⁵And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces.

⁵Huan, Philistiate mi liante a kiangah a hohtou ua, a kiangah, Amah ka zoh ua, khaukhiha ka bawlek theihna ding un a hanta san theih tumin kan khiain: hu chiin ka vek un dangka sang khat leh za khat ka honpe chiat ding uh, a chi ua.

⁶Then Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what is thy great strength, and with what thou mightest be bound to overpower thee.

⁶Huchiin Delailain Samson kiangah, na hat mahmahna san honhilh dih ve, bangchiin ahia bawlek dinda khaukhih thei na hih ding? a chi a.

⁷And Samson said to her, If they should bind me with seven fresh cords which have not been dried, then should I be weak, and be as another man.

⁷Huan, samsonin a kiangah khauhual thak, keu nailou hial sagihin honhen le uchin, huchin ka hat kei ding, mi dang bang lel mah ka hi ding, a chi a.

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

⁸Huchiin philistiate milianten khauhual thak sagih, keu nailou hial te a pia ua, huaitein a hen ua.

⁹Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known.

⁹Dantan sunggil ah guktanmite a koiha. Huchiin a kiangah, Samson, philistiante honsual sin uh e, a chi a. Huan khauhual meiin jija khaulom a kang tat bang phetin a hihtatta mai a. Huchiin a hanta san thei ahi kei.

¹⁰And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mightest be bound.

¹⁰Huan delailain Samson kiangah Ngaiin, non khema, juau hon hilh na hi: bangchia hen thei ding na hia honhilhta in, a chi a.

¹¹And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes, with which no work has been done, then should I be weak, and be as another man.

¹¹Huan, aman a kiangah, khaujen thak, zat nai louh hialin honhen le uh, huchiin ka hatkei mai ding, mi dangbang lel mah ka hi ding, a chi a.

¹²And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.

¹²Huchiin delailain khaujen thak a laa, a hena, huan, akianga, Samson, philistiaten a honsual sin uh, a chi a. Dantan sunggil ah a guktanmite a om ua. Huan, a khuta henna patzang suktah bang main a hihtatta hi.

¹³And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web.

¹³Huan, Delalain Samson kiangah, Non khem lain, juau non hilh lai ahi: bangchia hen theih ding na hia honhilh dihve, a chi a. Huan a kiangah, ka sam phek sagih puanin gatkhum le teh ahi mai, a chi a.

¹⁴And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web.

¹⁴Huan, kilhnain a kilh den ngiungeua, a kiangah, Samson philistiaten honsual sin uh e, a chi a. Huchiin a ihmu lai a halha, puanbu kilhdenna leh puanbu nangawn toh a kikhong sak vek mai hi.

¹⁵Then she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou mocked me, and hast not told me in what is thy great strength.

¹⁵Huan, akiangah, Na lungtang lah honpe hetlou piin, bangchidana, kon it hi, chi thei na hia oi? tun thum vei hilhial non khemna na hih langta ahi, na hat mahmahna san non hilh nai kei lailaihi, a chi a.

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

¹⁶Huan, hichi ahi a, nitengin a ngen ngutnguta, a kutkut jiakin, sihna khop hial dingin alungsim a buaita a.

¹⁷and he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I am a Nazarite of God from my mother's womb; if I should be shaven, then my strength would go from me, and I should be weak, and be like all mankind.

¹⁷Huchiin a lungsim tengteng a hilh vek taa, a kiangah, ka lu ah mulmettem himhimzat ahi ngei nai keia: ka nu sula ka om lai akipana pathian adinga Nazarit mi dia naom ka hia: tuin na met ta leng, ka hatna a mang vek mai ding, huchiin ka hatkei dinga, midangbang lel mah ka hi ding, achia.

¹⁸And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.

¹⁸Huan, a lungsim tengteng ahilh vekta chih Delailain a thei phetin Philistiate mi liante, Hong tou nawn phot un, a lungsim tengteng a hon hilh vekta, chiin a thukhak chiata. HuchiinPhilistiate mi liante a kiangah a va hohtou ua, dangka a tawi uh.

¹⁹And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him.

¹⁹Huan, a pheipi tungah a ihmu saka; huan, mi a sama, a samphek a teptan khe veka; huchiin a bawlek pantaa, huan, a hatna a mangta vek mai hi.

²⁰And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him.

²⁰Huan, Samson, Philistiaten hongsual sin uh a chi a. Huan, a ihmu lai a honghalha, Nidang bangmahin ka pawt nawn mai ding, Ka kitungkhe nawn mai ding, achia. Himahleh TOUPAN a paisan khin chih himhim a theikei hi.

²¹And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house.

²¹Huan, Philistiaten a man ua, a mit a khel khiak sak ua; huan Gaza khua ah a paipih suk ua, dal kol a bunsak ua; suangkulh ah buh a gawijan jel hi.

²²But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved.

²²Himahleh a sammet a hong pou nawnta hi.

²³Then the lords of the Philistines gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.

²³Huan, Philistiate mi liante a pathian uh Dagon kianga kithohna thupi tak lan ding leh kihihnuamsa dingin akikhawmkhawm ua: I pathian un a melmapa uh Samson a honpeta, a chi ua.

²⁴And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain.

²⁴Huan, mipiten a vamuh un a pathian uh a phat ua, I pathian un I melmapa leh I gam hihsepa, mi tampite honthatpa I khut uah a hon peta, a chi ua.

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 played before them; and they set him between the pillars.

²⁵Huan, hichi ahia, alungtang un nuam a sak laitakin, Samson pen muhnop dingin vasam dih ua, a chi ua. Huchiin Samson tuh suangkulh akipan a vasam khia ua; huan, a ma uah muhnop dingin a omta hi; khuam leh khuam kikalah a dingsak uh.

²⁶And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, Let loose of me, and suffer me to feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them.

²⁶Huan, Samsonin amah kai naupang kiangah, Hiai in doupen khuam honkhoihsak dih ve, kon ngai deh, a chi a.

²⁷Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.

²⁷Huai in bel pasal leh numeiin a dim miuhmeuh uhi; Philistiate milian tengteng huaiah aom vek uh; huan, Samson muhnop dinga, enmite in tungah pasal leh numei sang thum tak a om uh.

²⁸And Samson called to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may take one vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes.

²⁸Huan, Samsonin TOUPA a sama, Aw TOUPA Pathian, hehpih takin hon theigige inla hehpih takin tutung kiain hong hihhat inla, aw Pathian, ka mit lang nih phu Philistiate tungah ka honla zok ding, a chi a.

²⁹And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood (and he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and the other with his left.

²⁹Huan, Samsonin, huai in doupen sut nihte a khoiha, akhut taklamin khat a pansan, a khut vei lamin khat.

³⁰And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself with might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.

³⁰Huan, Samsonin, Philistiate kon sihkhum deh, a chi a. Huchiin a theitawpin akun eka; huan, miliante leh mipi a sunga om tengtengte huaiin in a delhta hi. Huchiin a damlaia ahihlupte sangin a sihkhumte a tamjaw uh.Huchiin a unaute leh a pa inkote tengteng a hongpai suk ua, a la ua a jawng tou ua, Zora leh Estaol kikala; a pa Manoa vuina munah a vuita uh. huchiin kum sawmnih Israelte tungah vai a hawm hi.

³¹And his brethren came down, and all the house of his father, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zoreah and Eshtaol in the sepulchre of Manoah his father. And he had judged Israel twenty years.

³¹Huchiin a unaute leh a pa inkote tengteng a hongpai suk ua, a la ua a jawng tou ua, Zora leh Estaol kikala; a pa Manoa vuina munah a vuita uh. huchiin kum sawmnih Israelte tungah vai a hawm hi.
