| 1 | Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her. |
|
ΚαὶεπορεύθηΣαμψωνεκεῖθενειςΓάζαν·καὶεῖδενεκεῖγυναῖκαπόρνηνκαὶεισῆλθενπρὸςαυτήν.
|
|
| 2 | When the Gazites were told, “Samson has come here!” they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, “In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him.” |
|
καὶαπηγγέλητοῖςΓαζαίοιςλέγοντεςΉκειΣαμψωνενταῦθα.καὶεκύκλωσανκαὶενήδρευσαναυτὸνόληντὴννύκταεπὶτῆςπύληςτῆςπόλεωςκαὶεκώφευσανόληντὴννύκταλέγοντεςΈωςφωτὸςπρωὶμείνωμενκαὶαποκτείνωμεναυτόν.
|
|
| 3 | And Samson lay low till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron. |
|
καὶεκοιμήθηΣαμψωνέωςτοῦμεσονυκτίου·καὶανέστηπερὶτὸμεσονύκτιονκαὶεπελάβετοτῶνθυρῶντῆςπύληςτῆςπόλεωςκαὶτῶνδύοσταθμῶνκαὶανεβάστασεναυτὰςσὺντῶμοχλῶκαὶεπέθηκενεπὶτῶώμωαυτοῦκαὶανήνεγκεναυτὰεπὶτὴνκορυφὴντοῦόρους,όεστινεπὶπρόσωπονΧεβρων,καὶέθηκεναυτὰεκεῖ.
|
|
| 4 | Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. |
|
ΚαὶεγένετομετὰταῦτακαὶηγάπησενγυναῖκαεπὶτοῦχειμάρρουΣωρηχ,καὶόνομααυτῆΔαλιλα.
|
|
| 5 | And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.” |
|
καὶανέβησανπρὸςαυτὴνοισατράπαιτῶναλλοφύλωνκαὶεῖπαναυτῆΑπάτησοναυτὸνκαὶιδὲεντίνιηισχὺςαυτοῦεστινημεγάληκαὶεντίνιδυνησόμεθαπρὸςαυτὸνκαὶδήσομεναυτὸνώστεταπεινῶσαιαυτόν,καὶημεῖςδώσομένσοιανὴρχιλίουςκαὶεκατὸναργυρίου.
|
|
| 6 | So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you.” |
|
καὶεῖπενΔαλιλαπρὸςΣαμψωνΑνάγγειλόνμοιεντίνιηισχύςσουημεγάληκαὶεντίνιδεθήσητοῦταπεινωθῆναίσε.
|
|
| 7 | And Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” |
|
καὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτὴνΣαμψωνΕὰνδήσωσίνμεενεπτὰνευραῖςυγραῖςμὴηρημωμέναις,καὶασθενήσωκαὶέσομαιωςεῖςτῶνανθρώπων.
|
|
| 8 | So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, and she bound him with them. |
|
καὶανήνεγκαναυτῆοισατράπαιτῶναλλοφύλωνεπτὰνευρὰςυγρὰςμὴηρημωμένας,καὶέδησεναυτὸνεναυταῖς·
|
|
| 9 | Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known. |
|
καὶτὸένεδροναυτοῦεκάθητοεντῶταμιείω·καὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτόνΑλλόφυλοιεπὶσέ,Σαμψων·καὶδιέρρηξεντὰςνευράς,ὸντρόπονδιασπᾶταικλῶσματοῦαποτινάγματοςεντῶοσφρανθῆναιπυρός·καὶουκεγνώσθηηισχὺςαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 10 | Then Delilah said to Samson, “Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with.” |
|
καὶεῖπενΔαλιλαπρὸςΣαμψωνΙδοὺπαρελογίσωμεκαὶελάλησαςπρόςμεψευδῆ·νῦνοῦνανάγγειλονδήμοιεντίνιδεθήση.
|
|
| 11 | So he said to her, “If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” |
|
καὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτήνΕὰνδεσμῶδήσωσίνμεενεπτὰκαλωδίοιςκαινοῖς,ενοῖςουκεγενήθηέργον,καὶασθενήσωκαὶέσομαιωςεῖςτῶνανθρώπων.
|
|
| 12 | Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And men were lying in wait, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread. |
|
καὶέλαβεναυτῶΔαλιλακαλώδιακαινὰκαὶέδησεναυτὸνεναυτοῖςκαὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτόνΟιαλλόφυλοιεπὶσέ,Σαμψων·καὶτὸένεδρονεκάθητοεντῶταμιείω·καὶδιέσπασεναυτὰαπὸτῶνβραχιόνωναυτοῦωςράμμα.
|
|
| 13 | Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom”— |
|
καὶεῖπενΔαλιλαπρὸςΣαμψωνΈωςνῦνπαρελογίσωμεκαὶελάλησαςπρόςμεψευδῆ·ανάγγειλονδήμοιεντίνιδεθήση.καὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτήνΕὰνυφάνηςτὰςεπτὰσειρὰςτῆςκεφαλῆςμουμετὰτοῦδιάσματοςκαὶεγκρούσηςεντῶπασσάλωειςτὸντοῖχον,καὶέσομαιασθενὴςωςεῖςτῶνανθρώπων.
|
|
| 14 | So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom. |
|
καὶεκοίμισεναυτὸνΔαλιλακαὶεδιάσατοτοὺςεπτὰβοστρύχουςτῆςκεφαλῆςαυτοῦμετὰτῆςεκτάσεωςκαὶκατέκρουσενεντοῖςπασσάλοιςειςτὸντοῖχονκαὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτόνΟιαλλόφυλοιεπὶσέ,Σαμψων·καὶεξηγέρθηεκτοῦύπνουαυτοῦκαὶεξέσπασεντοὺςπασσάλουςσὺντῶυφάσματιεκτοῦτοίχουκαὶτὸδίασμα,καὶουκεγνώσθηηισχὺςαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 15 | Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.” |
|
καὶεῖπενπρὸςαυτὸνΔαλιλαΠῶςερεῖςΗγάπηκάσε,καὶηκαρδίασουουκέστινμετ᾿εμοῦ;τοῦτοτρίτονπαρελογίσωμεκαὶουκαπήγγειλάςμοιεντίνιηισχύςσουημεγάλη.
|
|
| 16 | And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death, |
|
καὶεγένετοότεκατειργάσατοαυτὸντοῖςλόγοιςαυτῆςόληντὴννύκτακαὶπαρηνώχλησεναυτόν,καὶωλιγοψύχησενέωςειςθάνατον·
|
|
| 17 | that he told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” |
|
καὶαπήγγειλεναυτῆπάντατὰαπὸκαρδίαςαυτοῦκαὶεῖπεναυτῆΞυρὸνουκαναβήσεταιεπὶτὴνκεφαλήνμου,ότιναζιραῖοςθεοῦεγώειμιεκκοιλίαςμητρόςμου,καὶεὰνξυρήσωμαι,αποστήσεταιαπ᾿εμοῦηισχύςμου,καὶασθενήσωκαὶέσομαικατὰπάνταςτοὺςανθρώπους.
|
|
| 18 | When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. |
|
καὶεῖδενΔαλιλαότιανήγγειλεναυτῆπάντατὰαπὸκαρδίαςαυτοῦ,καὶαπέστειλενκαὶεκάλεσενπάνταςτοὺςσατράπαςτῶναλλοφύλωνλέγουσαΑνάβητετὸάπαξ,ότιανήγγειλένμοιπᾶσαντὴνκαρδίαναυτοῦ·καὶανέβησανπρὸςαυτὴνπᾶσαιαισατραπίαιτῶναλλοφύλωνκαὶήνεγκαντὸαργύριονενταῖςχερσὶναυτῶν.
|
|
| 19 | Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him. |
|
καὶεκοίμισεναυτὸνανὰμέσοντῶνγονάτωναυτῆς·καὶεκάλεσεντὸνκουρέα,καὶεξύρησεντοὺςεπτὰβοστρύχουςτῆςκεφαλῆςαυτοῦ·καὶήρξατοταπεινοῦσθαι,καὶαπέστηηισχὺςαυτοῦαπ᾿αυτοῦ.
|
|
| 20 | And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. |
|
καὶεῖπεναυτῶΔαλιλαΟιαλλόφυλοιεπὶσέ,Σαμψων.καὶεξηγέρθηεκτοῦύπνουαυτοῦκαὶεῖπενΕξελεύσομαικαὶποιήσωκαθὼςαεὶκαὶαποτινάξομαι·καὶαυτὸςουκέγνωότικύριοςαπέστηαπ᾿αυτοῦ.
|
|
| 21 | Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison. |
|
καὶεπελάβοντοαυτοῦοιαλλόφυλοικαὶεξώρυξαντοὺςοφθαλμοὺςαυτοῦ·καὶκατήγαγοναυτὸνειςΓάζανκαὶέδησαναυτὸνενπέδαιςχαλκαῖς,καὶῆναλήθωνενοίκωτῆςφυλακῆς.
|
|
| 22 | However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven. |
|
Καὶήρξατοηθρὶξτῆςκεφαλῆςαυτοῦανατεῖλαι,ηνίκαεξυρήθη.
|
|
| 23 | Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said: “Our god has delivered into our hands Samson our enemy!” |
|
καὶοισατράπαιτῶναλλοφύλωνσυνήχθησαντοῦθῦσαιθυσίανμεγάληνΔαγωντῶθεῶαυτῶνκαὶτοῦευφρανθῆναικαὶεῖπανΠαρέδωκενοθεὸςημῶνενχειρὶημῶνΣαμψωντὸνεχθρὸνημῶν.
|
|
| 24 | When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, The destroyer of our land, And the one who multiplied our dead.” |
|
καὶεῖδεναυτὸνολαὸςκαὶήνεσαντοὺςθεοὺςαυτῶνκαὶεῖπανΠαρέδωκενοθεὸςημῶντὸνεχθρὸνημῶνενχειρὶημῶνκαὶτὸνεξερημοῦντατὴνγῆνημῶν,όστιςεπλήθυνεντοὺςτραυματίαςημῶν.
|
|
| 25 | So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, “Call for Samson, that he may perform for us.” So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars. |
|
καὶεγένετοότεηγαθύνθηηκαρδίααυτῶν,καὶεῖπανΚαλέσατετὸνΣαμψωνεξοίκουφυλακῆς,καὶπαιξάτωενώπιονημῶν.καὶεκάλεσαντὸνΣαμψωνεξοίκουτῆςφυλακῆςκαὶενέπαιζοναυτῶκαὶέστησαναυτὸνανὰμέσοντῶνδύοστύλων.
|
|
| 26 | Then Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars which support the temple, so that I can lean on them.” |
|
καὶεῖπενΣαμψωνπρὸςτὸπαιδάριοντὸνχειραγωγοῦντααυτόνΕπανάπαυσόνμεδὴκαὶποίησονψηλαφῆσαίμεεπὶτοὺςστύλους,εφ᾿ῶνοοῖκοςεπεστήρικταιεπ᾿αυτῶν,καὶεπιστηρίσομαιεπ᾿αυτούς·οδὲπαῖςεποίησενούτως.
|
|
| 27 | Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there—about three thousand men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed. |
|
οδὲοῖκοςῆνπλήρηςανδρῶνκαὶγυναικῶν,καὶεκεῖπάντεςοισατράπαιτῶναλλοφύλων,καὶεπὶτοῦδώματοςωσεὶτρισχίλιοιάνδρεςκαὶγυναῖκεςεμβλέποντεςεμπαιζόμενοντὸνΣαμψων.
|
|
| 28 | Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, “O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!” |
|
καὶεβόησενΣαμψωνπρὸςκύριονκαὶεῖπενΚύριεκύριε,μνήσθητίμουκαὶενίσχυσόνμεδὴπλὴνέτιτὸάπαξτοῦτο,καὶεκδικήσωεκδίκησινμίαναντὶτῶνδύοοφθαλμῶνμουεκτῶναλλοφύλων.
|
|
| 29 | And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the temple, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left. |
|
καὶπεριέλαβενΣαμψωντοὺςδύοστύλουςτοὺςμέσους,εφ᾿ῶνοοῖκοςεπεστήρικτοεπ᾿αυτῶν,καὶεπεστηρίσατοεπ᾿αυτοῖς,έναεντῆδεξιᾶαυτοῦκαὶέναεντῆαριστερᾶαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 30 | Then Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life. |
|
καὶεῖπενΣαμψωνΑποθανέτωηψυχήμουμετὰτῶναλλοφύλων·καὶέκλινενενισχύι,καὶέπεσενοοῖκοςεπὶτοὺςσατράπαςκαὶεπὶπάντατὸνλαὸντὸνεναυτῶ·καὶεγένοντοοιτεθνηκότες,οὺςεθανάτωσενΣαμψωνεντῶθανάτωαυτοῦ,πλείουςυπὲροὺςεθανάτωσενεντῆζωῆαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 31 | And his brothers and all his father’s household came down and took him, and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. He had judged Israel twenty years. |
|
καὶκατέβησανοιαδελφοὶαυτοῦκαὶπᾶςοοῖκοςτοῦπατρὸςαυτοῦκαὶέλαβοναυτὸνκαὶανέβησανκαὶέθαψαναυτὸνανὰμέσονΣαραακαὶανὰμέσονΕσθαολεντῶτάφωΜανωετοῦπατρὸςαυτοῦ.καὶαυτὸςέκρινεντὸνΙσραηλείκοσιέτη.
