- 参孙回答说,人若用没有使过的新绳捆绑我,我就软弱像别人一样。
- 大利拉就用新绳捆绑他。对他说,参孙哪。非利士人拿你来了。有人预先埋伏在内室里。参孙将臂上的绳挣断了,如挣断一条线一样。
- 大利拉对参孙说,你到如今还是欺哄我,向我说谎言。求你告诉我,当用何法捆绑你。参孙回答说,你若将我头上的七条发绺,与纬线同织就可以了。
- 于是大利拉将他的发绺与纬线同织,用橛子钉住,对他说,参孙哪。非利士人拿你来了。参孙从睡中醒来,将机上的橛子和纬线一齐都拔出来了。
- 大利拉对参孙说,你既不与我同心,怎麽说你爱我呢。你这三次欺哄我,没有告诉我,你因何有这麽大的力气。

- He said, "If anyone ties me securely with new ropes that have never been used, I'll become as weak as any other man."
- So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them. Then, with men hidden in the room, she called to him, "Samson, the Philistines are upon you!" But he snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were threads.
- Delilah then said to Samson, "Until now, you have been making a fool of me and lying to me. Tell me how you can be tied." He replied, "If you weave the seven braids of my head into the fabric on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I'll become as weak as any other man." So while he was sleeping, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, wove them into the fabric
- and tightened it with the pin. Again she called to him, "Samson, the Philistines are upon you!" He awoke from his sleep and pulled up the pin and the loom, with the fabric.
- Then she said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when you won't confide in me? This is the third time you have made a fool of me and haven't told me the secret of your great strength."
