Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.
1參孫 到了 迦薩 ，在那裏看見一個妓女，就與她親近。
2When the Gazites heard that Samson was there, they surrounded that place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They were quiet throughout the night, saying, “Let us wait until dawn; then we will kill him.”
2有 人告訴 迦薩 人說：「 參孫 到這裏來了！」他們就把他團團圍住，終夜在城門悄悄埋伏，說：「等到天亮我們便殺他。」
3But Samson lay there only until midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain overlooking Hebron.
3參孫 睡到半夜，起來，將城門的門扇、門框、門閂，一齊拆下來，扛在肩上，扛到 希伯崙 前的山頂上。
4Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
4後來， 參孫 在 梭烈谷 喜愛一個婦人，名叫 大利拉 。
5The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”
5非利士 人的首領上去見那婦人，對她說：「求你誆哄 參孫 ，探探他因何有這麼大的力氣，我們用何法能勝他，捆綁剋制他。我們就每人給你一千一百 舍客勒 銀子。」
6So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”
6大利拉 對 參孫 說：「求你告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣，當用何法捆綁剋制你。」
7Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man.”
7參孫 回答說：「人若用七條未乾的青繩子捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
8So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
8於是 非利士 人的首領拿了七條未乾的青繩子來，交給婦人，她就用繩子捆綁 參孫 。
9While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.
9有人預先埋伏在婦人的內室裏。婦人說：「 參孫 哪， 非利士 人拿你來了！」 參孫 就掙斷繩子，如掙斷經火的麻線一般。這樣，他力氣 的根由 人還是不知道。
10Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”
10大利拉 對 參孫 說：「你欺哄我，向我說謊言。現在求你告訴我當用何法捆綁你。」
11He replied, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.”
11參孫 回答說：「人若用沒有使過的新繩捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
12So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.
12大利拉 就用新繩捆綁他，對他說：「 參孫 哪， 非利士 人拿你來了！」有人預先埋伏在內室裏。 參孫 將臂上的繩掙斷了，如掙斷一條線一樣。
13Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man. ”
13大利拉 對 參孫 說：「你到如今還是欺哄我，向我說謊言。求你告訴我，當用何法捆綁你。」 參孫 回答說：「你若將我頭上的七條髮綹，與緯線同織 就可以了 。」
14So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web. Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.
14於是 大利拉 將他的髮綹與緯線同織，用橛子釘住，對他說：「 參孫 哪， 非利士 人拿你來了！」 參孫 從睡中醒來，將機上的橛子和緯線一齊都拔出來了。
15“How can you say, ‘I love you,’” she asked, “when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and failed to reveal to me the source of your great strength!”
15大利拉 對 參孫 說：「你既不與我同心，怎麼說你愛我呢？你這三次欺哄我，沒有告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣。」
16Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death,
16大利拉 天天用話催逼他，甚至他心裏煩悶要死。
17Samson told her all that was in his heart: “My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man.”
17參孫 就把心中所藏的都告訴了她，對她說：「向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭，因為我自出母胎就歸上帝作拿細耳人；若剃了我的頭髮，我的力氣就離開我，我便軟弱像別人一樣。」
18When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: “Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.
18大利拉 見他把心中所藏的都告訴了她，就打發人到 非利士 人的首領那裏，對他們說：「他已經把心中所藏的都告訴了我，請你們再上來一次。」於是 非利士 人的首領手裏拿着銀子，上到婦人那裏。
19And having lulled him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to subdue him, and his strength left him.
19大利拉 使 參孫 枕着她的膝睡覺，叫了一個人來剃除他頭上的七條髮綹。於是 大利拉 剋制他，他的力氣就離開他了。
20Then she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!” When Samson awoke from his sleep, he thought, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
20大利拉 說：「 參孫 哪， 非利士 人拿你來了！」 參孫 從睡中醒來，心裏說：「我要像前幾次出去活動身體」；他卻不知道耶和華已經離開他了。
21Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze shackles and forced to grind grain in the prison.
21非利士 人將他拿住，剜了他的眼睛，帶他下到 迦薩 ，用銅鍊拘索他；他就在監裏推磨。
22However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
22然而他的頭髮被剃之後，又漸漸長起來了。
23Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon. They rejoiced and said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands.”
23非利士 人的首領聚集，要給他們的神 大袞 獻大祭，並且歡樂，因為他們說：「我們的神將我們的仇敵 參孫 交在我們手中了。」
24And when the people saw him, they praised their god, saying: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy who destroyed our land and multiplied our dead.”
24眾人看見 參孫 ，就讚美他們的神說：「我們的神將毀壞我們地、殺害我們許多人的仇敵交在我們手中了。」
25And while their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison to entertain them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
25他們正宴樂的時候，就說：「叫 參孫 來，在我們面前戲耍戲耍。」於是將 參孫 從監裏提出來，他就在眾人面前戲耍。他們使他站在兩柱中間。
26Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them.”
26參孫 向拉他手的童子說：「求你讓我摸着托房的柱子，我要靠一靠。」
27Now the temple was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain them.
27那時房內充滿男女， 非利士 人的眾首領也都在那裏。房的平頂上約有三千男女觀看 參孫 戲耍。
28Then Samson called out to the LORD: “O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes.”
28參孫 求告耶和華說：「主耶和華啊，求你眷念我。上帝啊，求你賜我這一次的力量，使我在 非利士 人身上報那剜我雙眼的仇。」
29And Samson reached out for the two central pillars supporting the temple. Bracing himself against them with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other,
29參孫 就抱住托房的那兩根柱子：左手抱一根，右手抱一根，
30Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people in it. So in his death he killed more than he had killed in his life.
30說：「我情願與 非利士 人同死！」就盡力屈身，房子倒塌，壓住首領和房內的眾人。這樣， 參孫 死時所殺的人比活着所殺的還多。
31Then Samson’s brothers and his father’s family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. And he had judged Israel twenty years.
31參孫 的弟兄和他父的全家都下去取他的屍首，抬上來葬在 瑣拉 和 以實陶 中間，在他父 瑪挪亞 的墳墓裏。 參孫 作 以色列 的士師二十年。
