Sudije 16

1 Potom otide Samson u Gazu, i onde vide jednu ženu kurvu, i uđe k njoj.

2 I ljudima u Gazi bi kazano: Dođe Samson ovamo. I opkoliše i vrebaše ga celu noćna vratima gradskim; i stajahu u potaji celu noćgovoreći: Dok svane, ubićemo ga.

3 Ali Samson spavav do ponoći usta u ponoći, i ščepa vrata gradska s oba dovratka i iščupa ih s prevornicom zajedno, i metnu ih na ramena i odnese na vrh gore koja je prema Hevronu.

4 Posle toga zamilova devojku na potoku Soriku, kojoj beše ime Dalida.

5 I dođoše k njoj knezovi filistejski i rekoše joj: Prevari ga i iskušaj gde mu stoji velika snaga i kako bi smo mu dosadili da ga svežemo i savladamo; a mi ćemo ti dati svaki po hiljadu i sto srebrnika.

6 I Dalida reče Samsonu: Hajde kaži mi gde stoji tvoja velika snaga i čim bi se mogao svezati i savladati.

7 A Samson joj reče: Da me svežu u sedam gužava sirovih neosušenih, onda bih izgubio snagu i bio kao i drugi čovek.

8 I donesoše joj knezovi filistejski sedam gužava sirovih, još neosušenih, i ona ga sveza njima.

9 A kod nje beše zaseda u sobi; i ona mu reče: Eto Filisteja na te, Samsone! A on pokida gužve, kao što se kida konac od kudelje kad oseti vatru; i ne dozna se za snagu njegovu.

10 Potom reče Dalida Samsonu: Gle, prevario si me, i slagao si mi; nego hajde kaži mi čim bi se mogao svezati.

11 A on joj reče: Da me dobro svežu novim užima kojima nije ništa rađeno, tada bih izgubio snagu i bio bih kao drugi čovek.

12 I Dalida uze nova uža, i sveza ga njima, pak mu reče: Eto Filisteji na te Samsone! A zaseda beše u sobi. A on raskide s ruku uža kao konac.

13 Tada reče Dalida Samsonu: Jednako me varaš i lažeš mi; kaži mi čim bi se mogao svezati? A on joj reče: Da sedam pramena kose na glavi mojoj priviješ na vratilo.

14 I ona zaglavivši vratilo kocem, reče: Evo Filisteja na te, Samsone! A on se probudi od sna, i istrže kolac i osnovu i vratilo.

15 Opet mu ona reče: Kako možeš govoriti: Ljubim te, kad srce tvoje nije kod mene? Većsi me tri puta prevario ne hoteći mi kazati gde ti je velika snaga.

16 I ona mu dosađivaše svojim rečima svaki dan i navaljivaše na nj, i duša mu prenemože da umre.

17 Te joj otvori celo srce svoje, i reče joj: Britva nije nikad prešla preko glave moje, jer sam nazirej Božji od utrobe matere svoje; da se obrijem, ostavila bi me snaga moja i oslabio bih, i bio bih kao svaki čovek

18 A Dalida videći da joj je otvorio celo srce svoje, posla i pozva knezove filistejske poručivši im: Hodite sada, jer mi je otvorio celo srce svoje. Tada dođoše knezovi filistejski k njoj i donesoše novce u rukama svojim.

19 A ona ga uspava na krilu svom, i dozva čoveka te mu obrija sedam pramena kose s glave, i ona ga prva svlada kad ga ostavi snaga njegova.

20 I ona reče: Eto Filisteja na te, Samsone! A on probudivši se od sna reče: Izaći ću kao i pre i oteću se; jer ne znaše da je Gospod odstupio od njega.

21 Tada ga uhvatiše Filisteji, i iskopaše mu oči, i odvedoše ga u Gazu i okovaše ga u dvoje verige bronzane; i meljaše u tamnici.

22 A kosa na glavi njegovoj poče rasti kao što je bila kad ga obrijaše.

23 I knezovi filistejski skupiše se da prinesu veliku žrtvu Dagonu bogu svom, i da se provesele, pa rekoše: Predade nam bog naš u ruke naše Samsona neprijatelja našeg.

24 Takođe i narod videvši ga hvaljaše boga svog govoreći: Predade nam bog naš u ruke naše neprijatelja našeg i zatirača zemlje naše i koji pobi tolike između nas.

25 I kad se razveseli srce njihovo rekoše: Zovite Samsona da nam igra. I dozvaše Samsona iz tamnice da im igra, i namestiše ga među dva stuba.

26 Tada Samson reče momku koji ga držaše za ruku: Pusti me, da opipam stubove na kojima stoji kuća, da se naslonim na njih.

27 A kuća beše puna ljudi i žena i svi knezovi filistejski behu onde; i na krovu beše oko tri hiljade ljudi i žena, koji gledahu kako Samson igra.

28 Tada Samson zavapi ka Gospodu i reče: Gospode, Gospode! Opomeni me se, molim te, i ukrepi me, molim te, samo sada, o Bože! Da se osvetim jedanput Filistejima za oba oka svoja.

29 I zagrli Samson dva stuba srednja, na kojima stajaše kuća, i nasloni se na njih, na jedan desnom a na drugi levom rukom svojom.

30 Pa onda reče Samson: Neka umrem s Filistejima. I naleže jako, i pade kuća na knezove i na sav narod koji beše u njoj; i bi mrtvih koje pobi umirući više nego onih koje pobi za života svog.

31 Posle dođoše braća njegova i sav dom oca njegovog, i uzeše ga, i vrativši se pogreboše ga između Saraje i Estola u grobu Manoja oca njegovog. A on bi sudija Izrailju dvadeset godina.

3302. 'And they called his name Esau' means its essential nature, that is to say, of the Natural as regards good. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling the name' or calling by name, as knowing the essential nature of a person or thing, and so knowing that nature itself, dealt with in 144, 145, 440, 768, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, and from the fact that names in the Word, however many these may be, in the internal sense mean spiritual realities, 1224, 1888, so that 'Esau' is some spiritual reality. That reality is the Lord's Divine Natural as regards Divine Good when first conceived, as is clear from what has been stated and from what follows concerning Esau, as well as from other places in the Word. But as Esau and Edom are very similar in meaning - the difference being that 'Edom' is the Divine Natural as regards good to which doctrinal matters concerning truth have been allied - confirmation from places in the Word will in the Lord's Divine mercy therefore be provided at verse 30 below, where Esau is called Edom.

3293. 'Two nations are in your womb' means the natural as regards good, interior and exterior, which is conception. This is clear from the meaning of 'nations' as goods, in particular of the Church, dealt with in 1159, 1258, 1260, 1416, 1849. Here goods within the natural are meant, as is evident from the consideration that Esau and Jacob, who at that time were in the womb, represent the Lord's Divine Natural, as will be quite clear from what follows in the part where they are the subject. As with the rational the natural consists of good and of truth. The good within the natural includes all that which goes with natural affection and is called delight, whereas the truth within the natural includes all that which is part of knowledge and is termed factual knowledge. These two must be present in the natural for it to be the natural. By itself and isolated from the delight which belongs to affection, factual knowledge is not anything at all - it being from delight that the natural gets its life, since it is from this that the natural may come to know anything. However, if delight, which is the good of the natural, is devoid of factual knowledge, it is nevertheless something, though only a vital spark, as it is in young children. For the natural to be human therefore it has to consist of both elements, the one perfecting the other. But life itself it receives from good.

[2] As for the good which is the subject here, it is twofold - interior and exterior. Interior good communicates with the interior man, that is, with the rational, while exterior good communicates with the external, that is, with the things that belong to the body, bringing life to the external senses as well as to actions. Without such communication in both parts no one is able to live as a rational being or as a physical organism. Interior communication is what remains with a person after death and then constitutes his natural life, for a spirit too possesses natural life since his spiritual life is encompassed in the natural as the ultimate level of it. For no one is able to think spiritually immediately after death except from the things that belong to his natural. Exterior communication however is what a person has while he is living in the body, but it comes to an end with the death of the body. From these considerations it may now be seen what 'two nations in the womb' means, namely the natural as regards good, interior and exterior. 'In the womb' means, in the internal sense, conception, and this is why at this point the expression 'which is conception' is used in reference to that good.
