Judges 16	Giudici 16
Judges 16:1 Now Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a loose woman and went in to her.	Giudici 16:1 E Sansone andò a Gaza, vide quivi una meretrice, ed entrò da lei.
Judges 16:2 And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.	Giudici 16:2 Fu detto a que’ di Gaza: "Sansone è venuto qua". Ed essi lo circondarono, stettero in agguato tutta la notte presso la porta della città, e tutta quella notte se ne stettero queti dicendo: "Allo spuntar del giorno l’uccideremo".
Judges 16:3 And Samson was there till the middle of the night; then he got up, and took a grip on the doors of the town, pulling them up, together with their two supports and their locks, and put them on his back and took them up to the top of the hill in front of Hebron.	Giudici 16:3 E Sansone si giacque fino a mezzanotte; e a mezzanotte si levò, diè di piglio ai battenti della porta della città e ai due stipiti, li divelse insieme con la sbarra, se li mise sulle spalle, e li portò in cima al monte ch’è dirimpetto a Hebron.
Judges 16:4 Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.	Giudici 16:4 Dopo questo, s’innamorò di una donna della valle di Sorek, che si chiamava Delila.
Judges 16:5 And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.	Giudici 16:5 E i principi de’ Filistei salirono da lei e le dissero: "Lusingalo e vedi dove risieda quella sua gran forza, e come potremmo prevalere contro di lui per giungere a legarlo e a domarlo; e ti daremo ciascuno mille e cento sicli d’argento".
Judges 16:6 So Delilah said to Samson, Make clear to me now what is the secret of your great strength, and how you may be put in bands and made feeble.	Giudici 16:6 Delila dunque disse a Sansone: "Dimmi, ti prego, dove risieda la tua gran forza, e in che modo ti si potrebbe legare per domarti".
Judges 16:7 And Samson said to her, If seven new bow-cords which have never been made dry are knotted round me, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.	Giudici 16:7 Sansone le rispose: "Se mi si legasse con sette corde d’arco fresche, non ancora secche, io diventerei debole e sarei come un uomo qualunque".
Judges 16:8 So the chiefs of the Philistines gave her seven new bow-cords which had never been made dry, and she had them tightly knotted round him.	Giudici 16:8 Allora i principi de’ Filistei le portarono sette corde d’arco fresche, non ancora secche, ed ella lo legò con esse.
Judges 16:9 Now she had men waiting secretly in the inner room; and she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the cords were broken by him as a twist of thread is broken when touched by a flame. So the secret of his strength did not come to light.	Giudici 16:9 Or c’era gente che stava in agguato, da lei, in una camera interna. Ed ella gli disse: "Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso!" Ed egli ruppe le corde come si rompe un fil di stoppa quando sente il fuoco. Così il segreto della sua forza restò sconosciuto.
Judges 16:10 Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?	Giudici 16:10 Poi Delila disse a Sansone: "Ecco tu m’hai beffata e m’hai detto delle bugie; or dunque, ti prego, dimmi con che ti si potrebbe legare".
Judges 16:11 And he said to her, If they only put round me new thick cords which have never been used, then I will become feeble and will be like any other man.	Giudici 16:11 Egli le rispose: "Se mi si legasse con funi nuove che non fossero ancora state adoperate, io diventerei debole e sarei come un uomo qualunque".
Judges 16:12 So Delilah took new thick cords, knotting them tightly round him, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And men were waiting secretly in the inner room. And the cords were broken off his arms like threads.	Giudici 16:12 Delila prese dunque delle funi nuove, lo legò, e gli disse: "Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso". L’agguato era posto nella camera interna. Ed egli ruppe, come un filo, le funi che aveva alle braccia.
Judges 16:13 Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.	Giudici 16:13 Delila disse a Sansone: "Fino ad ora tu m’hai beffata e m’hai detto delle bugie; dimmi con che ti si potrebbe legare". Ed egli le rispose: "Non avresti che da tessere le sette trecce del mio capo col tuo ordìto".
Judges 16:14 So while he was sleeping she got the seven twists of his hair worked into her cloth and fixed with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. Then awaking from his sleep, he got up quickly, pulling up cloth and machine together.	Giudici 16:14 Essa le fissò al subbio, poi gli disse: "Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso". Ma, egli si svegliò dal sonno, e strappò via il subbio del telaio con l’ordìto.
Judges 16:15 And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.	Giudici 16:15 Ed ella gli disse: "Come fai a dirmi: T’amo! mentre il tuo cuore non è con me? Già tre volte m’hai beffata, e non m’hai detto dove risiede la tua gran forza".
Judges 16:16 So day after day she gave him no peace, for ever questioning him till his soul was troubled to death.	Giudici 16:16 Or avvenne che, premendolo ella ogni giorno con le sue parole e tormentandolo, egli se ne accorò mortalmente,
Judges 16:17 And opening all his heart to her, he said to her, My head has never been touched by a blade, for I have been separate to God from the day of my birth: if my hair is cut off, then my strength will go from me and I will become feeble, and will be like any other man.	Giudici 16:17 e le aperse tutto il cuor suo e le disse: "Non è mai passato rasoio sulla mia testa, perché sono un nazireo, consacrato a Dio, dal seno di mia madre; se fossi tosato, la mia forza se ne andrebbe, diventerei debole, e sarei come un uomo qualunque".
Judges 16:18 And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.	Giudici 16:18 Delila, visto ch’egli le aveva aperto tutto il cuor suo, mandò a chiamare i principi de’ Filistei, e fece dir loro: "Venite su, questa volta, perché egli m’ha aperto tutto il suo cuore". Allora i principi dei Filistei salirono da lei, e portaron seco il danaro.
Judges 16:19 And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.	Giudici 16:19 Ed ella lo addormentò sulle sue ginocchia, chiamò l’uomo fissato, e gli fece tosare le sette trecce della testa di Sansone; così giunse a domarlo; e la sua forza si partì da lui.
Judges 16:20 Then she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And awaking from his sleep, he said, I will go out as at other times, shaking myself free. But he was not conscious that the Lord had gone from him.	Giudici 16:20 Allora ella gli disse: "Sansone, i Filistei ti sono addosso". Ed egli, svegliatosi dal sonno, disse: "Io ne uscirò come le altre volte, e mi svincolerò". Ma non sapeva che l’Eterno s’era ritirato da lui.
Judges 16:21 So the Philistines took him and put out his eyes; then they took him down to Gaza, and, chaining him with bands of brass, put him to work crushing grain in the prison-house.	Giudici 16:21 E i Filistei lo presero e gli cavaron gli occhi; lo fecero scendere a Gaza, e lo legarono con catene di rame. Ed egli girava la macina nella prigione.
Judges 16:22 But the growth of his hair was starting again after it had been cut off.	Giudici 16:22 Intanto, la capigliatura che gli avean tosata, cominciava a ricrescergli.
Judges 16:23 And the chiefs of the Philistines came together to make a great offering to Dagon their god, and to be glad; for they said, Our god has given into our hands Samson our hater.	Giudici 16:23 Or i principi dei Filistei si radunarono per offrire un gran sacrifizio a Dagon, loro dio, e per rallegrarsi. Dicevano: "Il nostro dio ci ha dato nelle mani Sansone, nostro nemico".
Judges 16:24 And when the people saw him, they gave praise to their god; for they said, Our god has given into our hands the one who was fighting against us, who made our country waste, and who put great numbers of us to death.	Giudici 16:24 E quando il popolo lo vide, cominciò a lodare il suo dio e a dire: "Il nostro dio ci ha dato nelle mani il nostro nemico, colui che ci devastava il paese e che ha ucciso tanti di noi".
Judges 16:25 Now when their hearts were full of joy, they said, Send for Samson to make sport for us. And they sent for Samson out of the prison-house, and he made sport before them; and they put him between the pillars.	Giudici 16:25 E nella gioia del cuor loro, dissero: "Chiamate Sansone, che ci faccia divertire!" Fecero quindi uscir Sansone dalla prigione, ed egli si mise a fare il buffone in loro presenza. Lo posero fra le colonne;
Judges 16:26 And Samson said to the boy who took him by the hand, Let me put my hand on the pillars supporting the house, so that I may put my back against them.	Giudici 16:26 e Sansone disse al fanciullo, che lo teneva per la mano: "Lasciami, ch’io possa toccar le colonne sulle quali posa la casa, e m’appoggi ad esse".
Judges 16:27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.	Giudici 16:27 Or la casa era piena d’uomini e di donne; e tutti i principi de’ Filistei eran quivi; e c’eran sul tetto circa tremila persone, fra uomini e donne, che stavano a guardare mentre Sansone faceva il buffone.
Judges 16:28 And Samson, crying out to the Lord, said, O Lord God, do have me now in mind, and do make me strong only this once, O God, so that I may take one last payment from the Philistines for my two eyes.	Giudici 16:28 Allora Sansone invocò, l’Eterno e disse: "O Signore, o Eterno, ti prego, ricordati di me! Dammi forza per questa volta soltanto, o Dio, perch’io mi vendichi in un colpo solo de’ Filistei, per la perdita de’ miei due occhi".
Judges 16:29 Then Samson put his arms round the two middle pillars supporting the house, putting his weight on them, on one with his right hand and on the other with his left.	Giudici 16:29 E Sansone abbracciò le due colonne di mezzo, sulle quali posava la casa; s’appoggiò ad esse: all’una con la destra, all’altra con la sinistra, e disse:
Judges 16:30 And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.	Giudici 16:30 "Ch’io muoia insieme coi Filistei!" Si curvò con tutta la sua forza, e la casa rovinò addosso ai principi e a tutto il popolo che v’era dentro; talché più ne uccise egli morendo, che non ne avea uccisi da vivo.
Judges 16:31 Then his brothers and his father's people came down and took him up and put his body to rest in the earth between Zorah and Eshtaol in the resting-place of Manoah his father. And he had been judge of Israel for twenty years.	Giudici 16:31 Poi i suoi fratelli e tutta la casa di suo padre scesero e lo portaron via; quindi risalirono, e lo seppellirono fra Tsorea ed Eshtaol nel sepolcro di Manoah suo padre. Egli era stato giudice d’Israele per venti anni.
