5 Zenyuka zaya kuyo izikhulu zamaFilisti, zathi kuyo, Mrhwebeshe, ubone ukuba asenini na la mandla akhe angaka, nokuba singámeyisa ngantoni na, simkhonkxe ukuze simthobe; sokunika thina elowo iwaka elinekhulu lesilivere.
6 Wathi uDelila kuSamson, Khawundixelele ukuba asenini na la mandla akho angaka, nokuba ungakhónkxwa ngantoni na, ukuze uqotywe?
7 Wathi uSamson kuye, Ukuba bathe bandibopha ngeentambo ezisixhenxe ezintsha ezingomanga, ndothi fehle, ndibe njengomnye umntu.
8 Izikhulu zamaFilisti zenyuka, zamzisela iintambo ezisixhenxe ezintsha ezingomanga; wamkhonkxa ngazo.
9 Ke abalaleli babehleli naye egumbini. Wathi umkakhe kuye, AmaFilisti aphezu kwakho, Samson. Wazijaca iintambo, kwanga kukujaceka kwentsontelo yeflakisi* yakuva umlilo; àkaziwa ke amandla akhe.
10 Wathi uDelila kuSamson, Yabona, udlale ngam, wandixokisa; khawundixelele kaloku ukuba ungakhónkxwa ngantoni na.
11 Wathi kuye, Ukuba bathe ukundikhonkxa bandikhonkxa ngeentsontelo ezintsha, ekungasetyenzwanga msebenzi ngazo, ndothi fehle, ndibe njengomnye umntu.
