16:1
|
参孙到了迦萨，在那里看见一个妓女，就与他亲近。
|
|
|
And Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.
|
|
16:2
|
有人告诉迦萨人说：「参孙到这里来了！」他们就把他团团围住，终夜在城门悄悄埋伏，说：「等到天亮我们便杀他。」
|
|
|
[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.
|
|
16:3
|
参孙睡到半夜，起来，将城门的门扇、门框、门闩，一齐拆下来，扛在肩上，扛到希伯仑前的山顶上。
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:4
|
后来，参孙在梭烈谷喜爱一个妇人，名叫大利拉。
|
|
|
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
|
|
16:5
|
非利士人的首领上去见那妇人，对他说：「求你诓哄参孙，探探他因何有这么大的力气，我们用何法能胜他，捆绑克制他。我们就每人给你一千一百舍客勒银子。」
|
|
|
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
|
大利拉对参孙说：「求你告诉我，你因何有这么大的力气，当用何法捆绑克制你。」
|
|
|
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
|
参孙回答说：「人若用七条未干的青绳子捆绑我，我就软弱像别人一样。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:8
|
于是非利士人的首领拿了七条未干的青绳子来，交给妇人，他就用绳子捆绑参孙。
|
|
|
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
|
|
16:9
|
有人预先埋伏在妇人的内室里。妇人说：「参孙哪，非利士人拿你来了！」参孙就挣断绳子，如挣断经火的麻线一般。这样，他力气的根由人还是不知道。
|
|
|
Now 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.
|
|
16:10
|
大利拉对参孙说：「你欺哄我，向我说谎言。现在求你告诉我当用何法捆绑你。」
|
|
|
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
|
参孙回答说：「人若用没有使过的新绳捆绑我，我就软弱像别人一样。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:12
|
大利拉就用新绳捆绑他，对他说：「参孙哪，非利士人拿你来了！」有人预先埋伏在内室里。参孙将臂上的绳挣断了，如挣断一条线一样。
|
|
|
So 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.
|
|
16:13
|
大利拉对参孙说：「你到如今还是欺哄我，向我说谎言。求你告诉我，当用何法捆绑你。」参孙回答说：「你若将我头上的七条发绺，与纬线同织就可以了。」
|
|
|
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
|
于是大利拉将他的发绺与纬线同织，用橛子钉住，对他说：「参孙哪，非利士人拿你来了！」参孙从睡中醒来，将机上的橛子和纬线一齐都拔出来了。
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:15
|
大利拉对参孙说：「你既不与我同心，怎么说你爱我呢？你这三次欺哄我，没有告诉我，你因何有这么大的力气。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:16
|
大利拉天天用话催逼他，甚至他心里烦闷要死。
|
|
|
And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death.
|
|
16:17
|
参孙就把心中所藏的都告诉了他，对他说：「向来人没有用剃头刀剃我的头，因为我自出母胎就归 神作拿细耳人；若剃了我的头发，我的力气就离开我，我便软弱像别人一样。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:18
|
大利拉见他把心中所藏的都告诉了他，就打发人到非利士人的首领那里，对他们说：「他已经把心中所藏的都告诉了我，请你们再上来一次。」于是非利士人的首领手里拿着银子，上到妇人那里。
|
|
|
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 told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought the money in their hand.
|
|
16:19
|
大利拉使参孙枕着他的膝睡觉，叫了一个人来剃除他头上的七条发绺。于是大利拉克制他，他的力气就离开他了。
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:20
|
大利拉说：「参孙哪，非利士人拿你来了！」参孙从睡中醒来，心里说：「我要像前几次出去活动身体」；他却不知道耶和华已经离开他了。
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:21
|
非利士人将他拿住，剜了他的眼睛，带他下到迦萨，用铜炼拘索他；他就在监里推磨。
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:22
|
然而他的头发被剃之后，又渐渐长起来了。
|
|
|
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
|
|
16:23
|
非利士人的首领聚集，要给他们的神大衮献大祭，并且欢乐，因为他们说：「我们的神将我们的仇敌参孙交在我们手中了。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:24
|
众人看见参孙，就赞美他们的神说：「我们的神将毁坏我们地、杀害我们许多人的仇敌交在我们手中了。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:25
|
他们正宴乐的时候，就说：「叫参孙来，在我们面前戏耍戏耍。」于是将参孙从监里提出来，他就在众人面前戏耍。他们使他站在两柱中间。
|
|
|
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 sport before them. And they set him between the pillars:
|
|
16:26
|
参孙向拉他手的童子说：「求你让我摸着托房的柱子，我要靠一靠。」
|
|
|
and 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.
|
|
16:27
|
那时房内充满男女，非利士人的众首领也都在那里。房的平顶上约有三千男女观看参孙戏耍。
|
|
|
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
|
参孙求告耶和华说：「主耶和华啊，求你眷念我。 神啊，求你赐我这一次的力量，使我在非利士人身上报那剜我双眼的仇。」
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:29
|
参孙就抱住托房的那两根柱子：左手抱一根，右手抱一根，
|
|
|
And 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.
|
|
16:30
|
说：「我情愿与非利士人同死！」就尽力屈身，房子倒塌，压住首领和房内的众人。这样，参孙死时所杀的人比活着所杀的还多。
|
|
|
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 that he slew at his death were more than they that he slew in his life.
|
|
16:31
|
参孙的弟兄和他父的全家都下去取他的尸首，抬上来葬在琐拉和以实陶中间，在他父玛挪亚的坟墓里。参孙作以色列的士师二十年。
|
|
|
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 burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
