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

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

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.

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 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.

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 afterwards 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 fresh cords 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 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.

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 to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 has given into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, even him who multiplied our slain.

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 played before them; 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 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.

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 upon the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on 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 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.

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 he supported himself upon them), the one with his right hand and 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
