  • Newari: “Then she called — "Samson, the Philistines are here."
    He woke up from his sleep and thought — "Going out like I did before, I will set myself free." But he did not realize that LORD had left him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Delila shouted, ‘Samson, there-are some Filistinhon who have-arrived to capture you (sing.).’ When- Samson -rose-up he thought that he still could-get-free like what he had-done before. But he did- not -know that the LORD would- no-longer -help him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then after she tied him up, she called out, ‘Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!’
    He woke up and thought, ‘I will do as I did before. I will shake these ropes off myself and be free!’ But he did not realize that Yahweh had left him.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
