Anakhala chete usiku wonse, nkunena kuti, “Kukacha tidzamupha.” ³Samsoni anagona komweko mpaka pakati pa usiku. Pakati pa usiku anadzuka, nagwira zitseko za chipata cha mzinda ndi mizati iwiri, nazizula pamodzi ndi mpiringidzo wake, naziyika pa mapewa ake, nazinyamulira kunsonga ya phiri loyang'anizana ndi Hebroni.

⁴Zitatha izi anakonda mkazi wa ku chigwa cha Soreki, dzina lake Delila. ⁵Akalonga a Afilisti anadza kwa iye, nati, “Munyengerere kuti udziwe kumene kuli mphamvu yake yaikulu, ndi mmene tingamugonjetsere ndi kumumanga kuti timgwiritse. Aliyense wa ife adzakupatsa ndalama zasiliva 1,100.”

⁶Delila anati kwa Samsoni, “Ndiuze kumene kuli mphamvu yako yaikulu, ndi mmene ungamangidwire ndi kugonjetsedwa.”

⁷Samsoni anamuuza kuti, “Akandimanga ndi zingwe zaziwisi zisanu ndi ziwiri za uta, zimene sizinawume, ndidzafowoka ndi kukhala ngati munthu wina aliyense.”

⁸Pamenepo akalonga a Afilisti anamubweretsera zingwe zaziwisi zisanu ndi ziwiri za uta, zimene sizinawume, ndipo anamumanga nazo. ⁹Tsopano anali ndi anthu obisalira m'chipinda chamkati. Anati kwa iye, “Afilisti afika pa iwe, Samsoni!” Koma iye anadula zingwezo ngati mmene umadukira ulusi wa thonje ukakhudza moto. Motero chinsinsi cha mphamvu yake sichinadziwike.

¹⁰Delila anati kwa Samsoni, “Wandipusitsa ndi kundiuza mabodza. Tsopano ndiuze mmene ungamangidwire.”

¹¹Anamuuza kuti, “Akandimanga kolimba ndi zingwe zatsopano zimene sizinagwiritsidwepo ntchito, ndidzafowoka, ngati munthu wina aliyense.”

¹²Delila anatenga zingwe zatsopano, namumanga nazo, nati, “Samsoni, Afilisti afika pa iwe!” Anthu anali obisalira m'chipinda chamkati. Koma iye anadula zingwezo kuchoka pa manja ake ngati ulusi.

¹³Delila anati kwa Samsoni, “Wandipusitsa ndi kundiuza mabodza nthawi yonseyi. Ndiuze mmene ungamangidwire.” Iye anati kwa iye, “Ukaluka mphotcha zisanu ndi ziwiri za mutu wanga pamodzi ndi nsalu ya pa cholukira, nukhomerere molimba, ndidzafowoka ngati munthu wina aliyense.”

¹⁴Anakhomerera ndi chikhomo, namuuza kuti, “Samsoni, Afilisti afika pa iwe!” Koma iye anadzuka ku tulo twake, nazula chikhomo, ndi cholukira, ndi nsalu.

¹⁵Anati, “Ukhoza bwanji kunena kuti, ‘Ndimakukonda,’ pamene mtima wako suli ndi ine? Katatu konse wandipusitsa, ndipo sunandiuze kumene kuli mphamvu yako yaikulu.”

¹⁶Pamene ankamukakamiza ndi mawu ake tsiku ndi tsiku, namupanikiza, mtima wake unatopa kwambiri, kotero kuti anakhumba kufa. ¹⁷Choncho anamuuza zonse za mumtima mwake, nati, “Lezala silinakhudzepo mutu wanga, popeza ndine Mnaziri wa Atate wathu kuyambira m'mimba mwa amayi anga. Ndikametedwa, mphamvu yanga idzandichoka, ndipo ndidzafowoka, ngati munthu wina aliyense.”

¹⁸Delila ataona kuti wamuuza zonse za mumtima mwake, anatumiza kwa akalonga a Afilisti, nati, “Bweraninso kamodzi, pakuti wandiuza zonse za mumtima mwake.” Choncho anabwera kwa iye ndi siliva m'manja mwawo. ¹⁹Anamugonetsa pa mawondo ake, nayitana munthu, nammetetsa mphotcha zisanu ndi ziwiri za mutu wake. Anayamba kumgonjetsa, ndipo mphamvu yake inamchoka. ²⁰Anati, “Afilisti afika pa iwe, Samsoni!” Iye anadzuka ku tulo twake, naganiza kuti, “Ndidzatuluka monga kale, nadzigwedeza kuti ndimasuke.” Koma sanadziwe kuti Atate wathu anamsiya.

²¹Afilisti anamugwira, namkolowola maso, namutengera ku Gaza. Anamumanga ndi maunyolo amkuwa, ndipo ankapera tirigu m'ndende. ²²Koma tsitsi la mutu wake linayamba kumeranso litametedwa.

Atate Alimbitsanso Samsoni Kamodzinso

²³Akalonga a Afilisti anasonkhana kudzapereka nsembe yaikulu kwa Dagoni mulungu wawo, ndi kukondwerera, nanena kuti, “Mulungu wathu wapereka m'manja mwathu Samsoni mdani wathu.” ²⁴Anthu atamuona, anatamanda mulungu wawo, nanena kuti, “Mulungu wathu wapereka m'manja mwathu mdani wathu, amene anawononga dziko lathu, nachulukitsa ophedwa athu.”

²⁵Mitima yawo itasangalala, anati, “Itanani Samsoni kuti adzatisangalatse.” Choncho anabweretsa Samsoni kuchoka m'ndende, ndipo anawasangalatsa. Anamuyimiritsa pakati pa mizati. ²⁶Samsoni anati kwa mnyamata amene anamugwira dzanja, “Undilole ndikhudze mizati imene nyumba yayima pa iyo, kuti ndizitsamire.” ²⁷Nyumbayo inali yodzaza ndi amuna ndi akazi; akalonga onse a Afilisti anali momwemo, ndipo pa denga panali amuna ndi akazi pafupifupi 3,000 amene ankaonerera Samsoni akusewera. ²⁸Pamenepo Samsoni anaitana Atate wathu, nati, “Inu Atate wolamulira zonse, ndikumbukireni, chonde. Ndilimbitseni kamodzi kokhaka, kuti ndi kumenya kamodzi ndibwezere chilungamo pa Afilisti chifukwa cha maso anga awiri.” ²⁹Samsoni anagwira mizati iwiri yapakati imene inachirikiza nyumbayo, nadziwaza pa iyo, dzanja lake lamanja pa umodzi, ndipo lamanzere pa winawo. ³⁰Samsoni anati, “Ndife pamodzi ndi Afilisti.” Anakankha ndi mphamvu yake yonse, ndipo nyumba inagwera akalonga ndi anthu onse amene anali mmenemo. Choncho anthu amene anawapha pa imfa yake anali ochuluka kuposa amene anawapha pa moyo wake.
