Judges - Chapter: 16


16:1	Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
16:2	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, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
16:3	And 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.
16:4	And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
16:5	And 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.
16:6	And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
16:7	And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
16:8	Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
16:9	Now 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 withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
16:10	And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
16:11	And 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.
16:12	Delilah 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.
16:13	And 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.
16:14	And 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.
16:15	And 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.
16:16	And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
16:17	That 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.
16:18	And 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 shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
16:19	And 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.
16:20	And 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.
16:21	But 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.
16:22	Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
16:23	Then 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.
16:24	And 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.
16:25	And 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.
16:26	And 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.
16:27	Now 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.
16:28	And 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.
16:29	And 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.
16:30	And 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.
16:31	Then 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.


16:1	וילך שׁמשׁון עזתה וירא שׁם אשׁה זונה ויבא אליה׃
16:2	לעזתים לאמר בא שׁמשׁון הנה ויסבו ויארבו לו כל הלילה בשׁער העיר ויתחרשׁו כל הלילה לאמר עד אור הבקר והרגנהו׃

16:8	ויעלו לה סרני פלשׁתים שׁבעה יתרים לחים אשׁר לא חרבו ותאסרהו׃
16:9	והארב ישׁב לה בחדר ותאמר אליו פלשׁתים עליך שׁמשׁון וינתק את היתרים כאשׁר ינתק פתיל הנערת בהריחו אשׁ ולא נודע כחו׃

16:11	ויאמר אליה אם אסור יאסרוני בעבתים חדשׁים אשׁר לא נעשׂה בהם מלאכה וחליתי והייתי כאחד האדם׃
16:12	ותקח דלילה עבתים חדשׁים ותאסרהו בהם ותאמר אליו פלשׁתים עליך שׁמשׁון והארב ישׁב בחדר וינתקם מעל זרעתיו כחוט׃
16:13	ותאמר דלילה אל שׁמשׁון עד הנה התלת בי ותדבר אלי כזבים הגידה לי במה תאסר ויאמר אליה אם תארגי את שׁבע מחלפות ראשׁי עם המסכת׃
16:14	ותתקע ביתד ותאמר אליו פלשׁתים עליך שׁמשׁון וייקץ משׁנתו ויסע את היתד הארג ואת המסכת׃
16:15	ותאמר אליו איך תאמר אהבתיך ולבך אין אתי זה שׁלשׁ פעמים התלת בי ולא הגדת לי במה כחך גדול׃
16:16	ויהי כי הציקה לו בדבריה כל הימים ותאלצהו ותקצר נפשׁו למות׃
16:17	ויגד לה את כל לבו ויאמר לה מורה לא עלה על ראשׁי כי נזיר אלהים אני מבטן אמי אם גלחתי וסר ממני כחי וחליתי והייתי ככל האדם׃
16:18	ותרא דלילה כי הגיד לה את כל לבו ותשׁלח ותקרא לסרני פלשׁתים לאמר עלו הפעם כי הגיד לה את כל לבו ועלו אליה סרני פלשׁתים ויעלו הכסף בידם׃
16:19	ותישׁנהו על ברכיה ותקרא לאישׁ ותגלח את שׁבע מחלפות ראשׁו ותחל לענותו ויסר כחו מעליו׃
16:20	ותאמר פלשׁתים עליך שׁמשׁון ויקץ משׁנתו ויאמר אצא כפעם בפעם ואנער והוא לא ידע כי יהוה סר מעליו׃
16:21	ויאחזוהו פלשׁתים וינקרו את עיניו ויורידו אותו עזתה ויאסרוהו בנחשׁתים ויהי טוחן בבית האסירים׃
16:22	ויחל שׂער ראשׁו לצמח כאשׁר גלח׃
16:23	וסרני פלשׁתים נאספו לזבח זבח גדול לדגון אלהיהם ולשׂמחה ויאמרו נתן אלהינו בידנו את שׁמשׁון אויבינו׃
16:24	ויראו אתו העם ויהללו את אלהיהם כי אמרו נתן אלהינו בידנו את אויבנו ואת מחריב ארצנו ואשׁר הרבה את חללינו׃
16:25	ויהי כי טוב לבם ויאמרו קראו לשׁמשׁון וישׂחק לנו ויקראו לשׁמשׁון מבית האסירים ויצחק לפניהם ויעמידו אותו בין העמודים׃
16:26	ויאמר שׁמשׁון אל הנער המחזיק בידו הניחה אותי והימשׁני את העמדים אשׁר הבית נכון עליהם ואשׁען עליהם׃
16:27	והבית מלא האנשׁים והנשׁים ושׁמה כל סרני פלשׁתים ועל הגג כשׁלשׁת אלפים אישׁ ואשׁה הראים בשׂחוק שׁמשׁון׃
16:28	ויקרא שׁמשׁון אל יהוה ויאמר אדני יהוה זכרני נא וחזקני נא אך הפעם הזה האלהים ואנקמה נקם אחת משׁתי עיני מפלשׁתים׃
16:29	וילפת שׁמשׁון את שׁני עמודי התוך אשׁר הבית נכון עליהם ויסמך עליהם אחד בימינו ואחד בשׂמאלו׃
16:30	ויאמר שׁמשׁון תמות נפשׁי עם פלשׁתים ויט בכח ויפל הבית על הסרנים ועל כל העם אשׁר בו ויהיו המתים אשׁר המית במותו רבים מאשׁר המית בחייו׃
16:31	וירדו אחיו וכל בית אביהו וישׂאו אתו ויעלו ויקברו אותו בין צרעה ובין אשׁתאל בקבר מנוח אביו והוא שׁפט את ישׂראל עשׂרים שׁנה׃


16:1	And Samson goeth to Gaza, and seeth there a woman, a harlot, and goeth in unto her;
16:2	`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.'
16:3	And 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.
16:4	And it cometh to pass afterwards that he loveth a woman in the valley of Sorek, and her name `is' Delilah,
16:5	and 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.'
16:6	And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Declare, I pray thee, to me, wherein thy great power `is', and wherewith thou art bound, to afflict thee.'
16:7	And 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.'
16:8	And the princes of the Philistines bring up to her seven green withs which have not been dried, and she bindeth him with them.
16:9	And 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.
16:10	And 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.'
16:11	And 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.'
16:12	And 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.
16:13	And 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.'
16:14	And 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.
16:15	And 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'.'
16:16	And 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,
16:17	that 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.'
16:18	And 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.
16:19	and 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;
16:20	and 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.
16:21	And 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.
16:22	And the hair of his head beginneth to shoot up, when he hath been shaven,
16:23	and 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.'
16:24	And 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.'
16:25	And 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.
16:26	And 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.'
16:27	And 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.
16:28	And 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.'
16:29	And 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;
16:30	and 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.
16:31	And 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.
