Judges 16

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman a harlot, and went in unto her.	1 Και υπηγεν ο Σαμψων εις την Γαζαν, και ειδεν εκει γυναικα πορνην και εισηλθε προς αυτην.
2 And 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 Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τους Γαζαιους, λεγοντες, Ο Σαμψων ηλθεν ενταυθα. Και αυτοι περικυκλωσαντες ενεδρευον αυτον ολην την νυκτα εν τη πυλη της πολεως? και ησυχαζον ολην την νυκτα, λεγοντες, Ας προσμενωμεν εως της αυγης της πρωιας και θελομεν φονευσει αυτον.
3 But 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 Ο δε Σαμψων εκοιμηθη εως μεσονυκτιου? και σηκωθεις περι το μεσονυκτιον επιασε τας θυρας της πυλης της πολεως, και τους δυο παραστατας, και αποσπασας αυτας μετα του μοχλου, επεθεσεν επι των ωμων αυτου και ανεβιβασεν αυτας επι την κορυφην του ορους του κατεναντι της Χεβρων.
4 After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila.	4 Και μετα ταυτα ηγαπησε γυναικα τινα εν τη κοιλαδι Σωρηκ, της οποιας το ονομα ητο Δαλιδα.
5 And 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 Και ανεβησαν προς αυτην οι αρχοντες των Φιλισταιων και ειπον προς αυτην, Κολακευσον αυτον και ιδε εις τι ισταται η δυναμις αυτου η μεγαλη, και τινι τροπω δυναμεθα να υπερισχυσωμεν κατ' αυτου, ωστε να δεσωμεν αυτον, δια να δαμασωμεν αυτον? και ημεις θελομεν σοι δωσει εκαστος χιλια εκατον αργυρια.
6 And 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 Και ειπεν η Δαλιδα προς τον Σαμψων, Φανερωσον μοι, παρακαλω, εις τι ισταται η δυναμις σου η μεγαλη, και με τι ηθελες δεθη δια να δαμασθης.
7 And 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 Και ειπε προς αυτην ο Σαμψων, Εαν με δεσωσι με επτα χορδας υγρας, αιτινες δεν εξηρανθησαν, τοτε θελω αδυνατησει και θελω εισθαι ως εις των ανθρωπων.
8 And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such is he spoke of, with which she bound him;	8 Τοτε εφεραν προς αυτην οι αρχοντες των Φιλισταιων επτα χορδας υγρας, αιτινες δεν ειχον ξηρανθη, και εδεσεν αυτον με αυτας.
9 Men 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 Ενεδρευον δε ανθρωποι καθημενοι μετ' αυτης εν τω κοιτωνι. Και ειπε προς αυτον, Οι Φιλισταιοι επι σε, Σαμψων. Και εκεινος εκοψε τας χορδας, καθως ηθελε κοπη νημα στυπιου, οταν μυρισθη το πυρ. Και δεν εγνωρισθη η δυναμις αυτου.
10 And 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 Και ειπεν η Δαλιδα προς τον Σαμψων, Ιδου, με εγελασας και ελαλησας προς εμε ψευδη? ειπε μοι λοιπον, παρακαλω, με τι ηθελες δεθη.
11 And 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 Και ειπε προς αυτην, Εαν με δεσωσι δυνατα με νεα σχοινια, με τα οποια δεν εγεινεν εργασια, τοτε θελω αδυνατησει και θελω εισθαι ως εις των ανθρωπων.
12 Dalila 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 Ελαβε λοιπον η Δαλιδα σχοινια νεα, και εδεσεν αυτον με αυτα και ειπε προς αυτον, Οι Φιλισταιοι επι σε, Σαμψων. Ενεδρευον δε ανθρωποι καθημενοι εν τω κοιτωνι. Και εκοψεν αυτα απο των βραχιονων αυτου ως νημα.
13 And 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 Και ειπεν η Δαλιδα προς τον Σαμψων, Μεχρι τουδε με εγελασας και με ειπας ψευδη? ειπε μοι με τι ηθελες δεθη. Και ειπε προς αυτην, Εαν πλεξης τους επτα πλοκαμους της κεφαλης μου εις το διασμα.
14 And 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 Και αυτη επερασεν αυτους, εμπηγουσα και τον πασσαλον? και ειπε προς αυτον, Οι Φιλισταιοι επι σε, Σαμψων. Και εξυπνησεν εκ του υπνου αυτου και ανεσπασε τον πασσαλον του υφασματος με το διασμα.
15 And 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 Τοτε ειπε προς αυτον, Πως λεγεις, σε αγαπω, ενω η καρδια σου δεν ειναι μετ' εμου; συ με εγελασας τριτην ταυτην την φοραν, και δεν με εφανερωσας εις τι ισταται η δυναμις σου η μεγαλη.
16 And 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 Και επειδη εστενοχωρει αυτον καθ' ημεραν με τους λογους αυτης και εβιαζεν αυτον, ωστε η ψυχη αυτου απεκαμε μεχρι θανατου,
17 Then 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 εφανερωσε προς αυτην ολην την καρδιαν αυτου και ειπε προς αυτην, ξυραφιον δεν ανεβη επι την κεφαλην μου? διοτι εγω ειμαι Ναζηραιος εις τον Θεον εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου. Εαν ξυρισθω, τοτε η δυναμις μου θελει φυγει απ' εμου, και θελω αδυνατισει και κατασταθη ως παντες οι ανθρωποι.
18 Then 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 Και ιδουσα η Δαλιδα, οτι εφανερωσε προς αυτην ολην την καρδιαν αυτου, εστειλε και εκαλεσε τους αρχοντας των Φιλισταιων, λεγουσα, Αναβητε ταυτην την φοραν? διοτι μοι εφανερωσεν ολην την καρδιαν αυτου. Τοτε ανεβησαν προς αυτην οι αρχοντες των Φιλισταιων, φεροντες και το αργυριον εις τας χειρας αυτων.
19 But 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 Και απεκοιμησεν αυτον επι των γονατων αυτης? και εκαλεσεν ανθρωπον και εξυρισε τους επτα πλοκαμους της κεφαλης αυτου? και ηρχισε να δαμαζη αυτον, και η δυναμις αυτου εφυγεν απ' αυτου.
20 And 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 Και αυτη ειπεν, Οι Φιλισταιοι επι σε, Σαμψων. Και αυτος εξυπνησεν εκ του υπνου αυτου και ειπε, Θελω εξελθει καθως αλλοτε και θελω εκτιναχθη. Αλλ' αυτος δεν εγνωρισεν οτι ο Κυριος ειχεν απομακρυνθη απ' αυτου.
21 Then 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 Και επιασαν αυτον οι Φιλισταιοι και εξωρυξαν τους οφθαλμους αυτου και κατεβιβασαν αυτον εις Γαζαν και εδεσαν αυτον με δυο χαλκινας αλυσεις? και ηλεθεν εν τω οικω του δεσμωτηριου.
22 And now his hair began to grow again.	22 Αι δε τριχες της κεφαλης αυτου ηρχισαν να εκφυωνται παλιν, αφου εξυρισθη.
23 And 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 Συνηχθησαν δε οι αρχοντες των Φιλισταιων, δια να προσφερωσι θυσιαν μεγαλην εις Δαγων τον θεον αυτων και να ευφρανθωσι διοτι ειπον, Ο Θεος ημων παρεδωκεν εις την χειρα ημων τον Σαμψων τον εχθρον ημων.
24 And 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 Και οτε ειδεν αυτον ο λαος, εδοξασαν τον θεον αυτων, λεγοντες, Ο θεος ημων παρεδωκεν εις την χειρα ημων τον εχθρον ημων και τον ολοθρευτην της γης ημων και τον φονευσαντα πληθος εξ ημων.
25 And 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 Και οτε ευθυμησεν η καρδια αυτων, ειπαν, Καλεσατε τον Σαμψων, δια να παιξη εις ημας. Και εκαλεσαν τον Σαμψων εκ του οικου του δεσμωτηριου, και επαιξεν εμπροσθεν αυτων? και εστησαν αυτον αναμεσον των στυλων.
26 And 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 Και ειπεν ο Σαμψων προς το παιδιον, το οποιον εκρατει αυτον εκ της χειρος, Αφες με να ψηλαφησω τους στυλους, επι των οποιων ισταται ο οικος, δια να στηριχθω επ' αυτους.
27 Now 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 Ο δε οικος ητο πληρης ανδρων και γυναικων? και ησαν εκει παντες οι αρχοντες των Φιλισταιων? και επι του δωματος περιπου τρεις χιλιαδες ανδρων και γυναικων, οιτινες εθεωρουν τον Σαμψων παιζοντα.
28 But 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 Και εβοησεν ο Σαμψων προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Δεσποτα Κυριε, ενθυμηθητι με, δεομαι και ενισχυσον με, παρακαλω, μονον ταυτην την φοραν, Θεε, δια να εκδικηθω κατα των Φιλισταιων δια μιας υπερ των δυο οφθαλμων μου.
29 And 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 Και ενηγκαλισθη ο Σαμψων τους δυο μεσους στυλους, επι των οποιων ιστατο ο οικος, και επεστηριχθη επ' αυτους, τον ενα με την δεξιαν αυτου και τον αλλον με την αριστεραν αυτου.
30 He 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 Και ειπεν ο Σαμψων, Αποθανετω η ψυχη μου μετα των Φιλισταιων. Και εκαμφθη με δυναμιν? και ο οικος επεσεν επι τους αρχοντας και επι παντα τον λαον τον εν αυτω. Οι δε αποθανοντες, τους οποιους εθανατωσεν εν τω θανατω αυτου, ησαν περισσοτεροι παρα οσους εθανατωσεν εν τη ζωη αυτου.
31 And 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 Τοτε κατεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου και πας ο οικος του πατρος αυτου και εσηκωσαν αυτον? και ανεβιβασαν και εθαψαν αυτον μεταξυ Σαραα και Εσθαολ, εν τω ταφω Μανωε του πατρος αυτου. Εκρινε δε ουτος τον Ισραηλ εικοσι ετη.
