Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman a harlot, and went in unto her.
1參孫 到了 迦薩 ，在那裏看見一個妓女，就與她親近。
2And when the Philistines had beard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out.
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 slept till midnight, and then rising he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof, and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards 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。
4After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila.
4後來， 參孫 在 梭烈谷 喜愛一個婦人，名叫 大利拉 。
5And the princes of the Philistines came to her, and said: Deceive him, and learn of him wherein his great strength lieth, and how we may be able to overcome him, to bind and afflict him: which if thou shalt do, we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces 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。」
6And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is wherewith if thou wert bound thou couldst not break loose.
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。」
7And Samson answered her: If I shall be bound with seven cords made of sinews not yet dry, but still moist, I shall be weak like other men.
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。」
8And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such is he spoke of, with which she bound him;
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 。
9Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength Jay.
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。
10And Dalila said to him: Behold thou hast mocked me, and hast told me a false thing: but now at least tell me wherewith thou mayest be bound.
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。」
11And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men.
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。」
12Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs.
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。
13And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? Shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak.
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 。」
14And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace.
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。
15And Dalila said to him: How dost thou say thou lovest me, when thy mind is not with me? Thou hast told me lies these three times, and wouldst not tell me wherein thy great strength lieth.
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。」
16And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even until death.
16大利拉 天天用話催逼他，甚至他心裏煩悶要死。
17Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother’s womb: if my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men.
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。」
18Then seeing that be had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up taking with them the money which they had promised.
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。
19But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber, and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from 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。
20And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was 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 upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind.
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。
22And now his hair began to grow again.
22然而他的頭髮被剃之後，又漸漸長起來了。
23And the princes of the Philistines assembled together, to offer great sacrifices to Dagon their god, and to make merry, saying: Our god hath delivered our enemy Samson 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 the people also seeing this, praised their god, and said the same: Our god hath delivered our adversary into our bands, him that destroyed our country and killed very many.
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 rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison he played before them, and they made him stand between two 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。
26And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little.
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 house was full of men and women, and all the princes of the Philistines were there. Moreover about three thousand persons of both sexes from the roof and the higher part of the house, were beholding Samson’s play.
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。
28But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God, remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge.
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 laying hold on both the pillars on which the house rested, and holding the one with his right hand, and the other with his left,
29參孫 就抱住托房的那兩根柱子：左手抱一根，右手抱一根，
30He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before 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。
31And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he 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。
