Samson’s Weakness
1Pada suatu kali, ketika Simson pergi ke Gaza, dilihatnya di sana seorang perempuan sundal, lalu menghampiri dia. 2Ketika diberitahukan kepada orang-orang Gaza: "Simson telah datang ke sini," maka mereka mengepung tempat itu dan siap menghadang dia semalam-malaman itu di pintu gerbang kota, tetapi semalam-malaman itu mereka tidak berbuat apa-apa, karena pikirnya: "Nanti pada waktu fajar kita akan membunuh dia." 3Tetapi Simson tidur di situ sampai tengah malam. Pada waktu tengah malam bangunlah ia, dipegangnya kedua daun pintu gerbang kota itu dan kedua tiang pintu, dicabutnyalah semuanya beserta palangnya, diletakkannya di atas kedua bahunya, lalu semuanya itu diangkatnya ke puncak gunung yang berhadapan dengan Hebron.
1Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there, and had relations with her. 2When it was reported to the Gazites, saying, “Samson has come here,” they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. And they kept silent all night, saying, “Let’s wait until the morning light, then we will kill him.” 3Now Samson lay asleep until midnight, and at midnight he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two doorposts, and pulled them up along with the bars; then he put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain which is opposite Hebron.
4Sesudah itu Simson jatuh cinta kepada seorang perempuan dari lembah Sorek yang namanya Delila. 5Lalu datanglah raja-raja kota orang Filistin kepada perempuan itu sambil berkata: "Cobalah bujuk dia untuk mengetahui karena apakah kekuatannya demikian besar, dan dengan apakah kami dapat mengalahkan dia dan mengikat dia untuk menundukkannya. Maka kami masing-masing akan memberikan seribu seratus uang perak kepadamu." 6Lalu berkatalah Delila kepada Simson: "Ceritakanlah kiranya kepadaku, karena apakah kekuatanmu demikian besar, dan dengan apakah engkau harus diikat untuk ditundukkan ?" 7Jawab Simson kepadanya: "Jika aku diikat dengan tujuh tali busur yang baru, yang belum kering, maka aku akan menjadi lemah dan menjadi seperti orang lain manapun juga." 8Lalu raja-raja kota orang Filistin membawa tujuh tali busur yang baru yang belum kering kepada perempuan itu dan ia mengikat Simson dengan tali-tali itu, 9sedang di kamarnya ada orang bersiap-siap. Kemudian berserulah perempuan itu kepadanya: "Orang-orang Filistin menyergap engkau, Simson !" Tetapi ia memutuskan tali-tali busur itu seperti tali rami yang terbakar putus, apabila kena api. Dan tidaklah ketahuan di mana duduk kekuatannya itu.
4After this it came about that he was in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5So the governors of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we can overpower him so that we may bind him to humble him. Then we will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver.” 6So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you can be bound to humble you.” 7And Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh animal tendons that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man.” 8Then the governors of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh animal tendons that had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 9Now she had men prepared for an ambush in an inner room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he tore the tendons to pieces just like a thread of flax is torn apart when it comes too close to fire. So his strength was not discovered.
10Kemudian berkatalah Delila kepada Simson: "Sesungguhnya engkau telah mempermain-mainkan dan membohongi aku. Sekarang ceritakanlah kiranya kepadaku dengan apa engkau dapat diikat." 11Jawabnya kepadanya: "Jika aku diikat erat-erat dengan tali baru, yang belum terpakai untuk pekerjaan apapun, maka aku akan menjadi lemah dan menjadi seperti orang lain manapun juga." 12Kemudian Delila mengambil tali baru, diikatnyalah dia dengan tali-tali itu dan berseru kepadanya: "Orang-orang Filistin menyergap engkau, Simson !" -- di kamar ada orang bersiap-siap -- tetapi tali-tali itu diputuskannya tanggal dari tangannya seperti benang saja.
10Then Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have toyed with me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound.” 11Then he said to her, “If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man.” 12So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For the men in the ambush were waiting in the inner room. But he tore the ropes from his arms like thread.
13Berkatalah Delila kepada Simson: "Sampai sekarang engkau telah mempermain-mainkan dan membohongi aku. Ceritakanlah kepadaku dengan apakah engkau dapat diikat." Jawabnya kepadanya: "Kalau engkau menenun ketujuh rambut jalinku bersama-sama dengan lungsin lalu mengokohkannya dengan patok, maka aku akan menjadi lemah dan menjadi seperti orang lain manapun juga." 14Kemudian perempuan itu mengokohkan lagi tenunan itu dengan patok, lalu berserulah ia kepadanya: "Orang-orang Filistin menyergap engkau, Simson." Tetapi ketika ia terjaga dari tidurnya, disentaknya lepas patok tenunan dan lungsin itu.
13Then Delilah said to Samson, “Up to now you have toyed with me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with the pin, then I will be weak like any other man.” 14So while he slept, Delilah wove the seven locks of his hair with the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.
Delilah Extracts His Secret
15Berkatalah perempuan itu kepadanya: "Bagaimana mungkin engkau berkata: Aku cinta kepadamu, padahal hatimu tidak tertuju kepadaku ? Sekarang telah tiga kali engkau mempermain-mainkan aku dan tidak mau menceritakan kepadaku, karena apakah kekuatanmu demikian besar." 16Lalu setelah perempuan itu berhari-hari merengek-rengek kepadanya dan terus mendesak-desak dia, ia tidak dapat lagi menahan hati, sehingga ia mau mati rasanya. 17Maka diceritakannyalah kepadanya segala isi hatinya, katanya: "Kepalaku tidak pernah kena pisau cukur, sebab sejak dari kandungan ibuku aku ini seorang nazir Allah. Jika kepalaku dicukur, maka kekuatanku akan lenyap dari padaku, dan aku menjadi lemah dan sama seperti orang-orang lain."
15Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have toyed with me these three times and have not told me where your great strength is.” 16And it came about, when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death. 17So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, “A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man.”
18Ketika dilihat Delila, bahwa segala isi hatinya telah diceritakannya kepadanya, disuruhnyalah memanggil raja-raja kota orang Filistin, katanya: "Sekali ini lagi datanglah ke mari, sebab ia telah menceritakan segala isi hatinya kepadaku." Lalu datanglah raja-raja kota orang Filistin itu kepadanya sambil membawa uang itu. 19Sesudah itu dibujuknya Simson tidur di pangkuannya, lalu dipanggilnya seorang dan disuruhnya mencukur ketujuh rambut jalinnya, sehingga mulailah Simson ditundukkan oleh perempuan itu, sebab kekuatannya telah lenyap dari padanya. 20Lalu berserulah perempuan itu: "Orang Filistin menyergap engkau, Simson !" Maka terjagalah ia dari tidurnya serta katanya: "Seperti yang sudah-sudah, aku akan bebas dan akan meronta lepas." Tetapi tidaklah diketahuinya, bahwa TUHAN telah meninggalkan dia. 21Orang Filistin itu menangkap dia, mencungkil kedua matanya dan membawanya ke Gaza. Di situ ia dibelenggu dengan dua rantai tembaga dan pekerjaannya di penjara ialah menggiling. 22Tetapi rambutnya mulai tumbuh pula sesudah dicukur.
18When Delilah saw that he had told her all that was in his heart, she sent word and called the governors of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all that is in his heart.” Then the governors of the Philistines came up to her and brought up the money in their hands. 19And she made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to humble him, and his strength left him. 20She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. 21Then the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and restrained him with bronze chains, and he became a grinder in the prison. 22However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.
23Sesudah itu berkumpullah raja-raja kota orang Filistin untuk mengadakan perayaan korban sembelihan yang besar kepada Dagon, allah mereka, dan untuk bersukaria; kata mereka: "Telah diserahkan oleh allah kita ke dalam tangan kita Simson, musuh kita." 24Dan ketika orang banyak melihat Simson, mereka memuji allah mereka, sambil berseru: "Telah diserahkan oleh allah kita ke dalam tangan kita musuh kita, perusak tanah kita, dan yang membunuh banyak teman kita." 25Ketika hati mereka riang gembira, berkatalah mereka: "Panggillah Simson untuk melawak bagi kita." Simson dipanggil dari penjara, lalu ia melawak di depan mereka, kemudian mereka menyuruh dia berdiri di antara tiang-tiang. 26Berkatalah Simson kepada anak yang menuntun dia: "Lepaskan aku dan biarkanlah aku meraba-raba tiang-tiang penyangga rumah ini, supaya aku dapat bersandar padanya." 27Adapun gedung itu penuh dengan laki-laki dan perempuan; segala raja kota orang Filistin ada di sana, dan di atas sotoh ada kira-kira tiga ribu orang laki-laki dan perempuan, yang menonton lawak Simson itu.
23Now the governors of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to celebrate, for they said,
“Our god has handed Samson our enemy over to us.” 24When the people saw him, they praised their god, for they said,
“Our god has handed our enemy over to us,
Even the destroyer of our country,
Who has killed many of us.” 25It so happened when they were in high spirits, that they said, “Call for Samson, that he may amuse us.” So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars. 26Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, so that I may lean against them.” 27Now the house was full of men and women, and all the governors of the Philistines were there. And about three thousand men and women were on the roof looking on while Samson was entertaining them.

Samson Is Avenged
28Berserulah Simson kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Ya Tuhan ALLAH, ingatlah kiranya kepadaku dan buatlah aku kuat, sekali ini saja, ya Allah, supaya dengan satu pembalasan juga kubalaskan kedua mataku itu kepada orang Filistin." 29Kemudian Simson merangkul kedua tiang yang paling tengah, penyangga rumah itu, lalu bertopang kepada tiang yang satu dengan tangan kanannya dan kepada tiang yang lain dengan tangan kirinya. 30Berkatalah Simson: "Biarlah kiranya aku mati bersama-sama orang Filistin ini." Lalu membungkuklah ia sekuat-kuatnya, maka rubuhlah rumah itu menimpa raja-raja kota itu dan seluruh orang banyak yang ada di dalamnya. Yang mati dibunuhnya pada waktu matinya itu lebih banyak dari pada yang dibunuhnya pada waktu hidupnya. 31Sesudah itu datanglah ke sana saudara-saudaranya dan seluruh keluarganya, mereka mengangkat dia dan membawanya dari sana, lalu menguburkannya di antara Zora dan Esytaol di dalam kubur Manoah, ayahnya. Dia memerintah sebagai hakim atas orang Israel dua puluh tahun lamanya.
28Then Samson called to the LORD and said, “Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes.” 29Then Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and braced himself against them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left. 30And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he pushed outwards powerfully, so that the house fell on the governors and all the people who were in it. And the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed during his lifetime. 31Then 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. So he had judged Israel for twenty years.
