OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_took Dilīlāh ropes new and_bound_him in/among_them and_she/it_said to_him/it [the]_Fəlishəttiy upon_you Oh_Shimshōn and_the_lying_in_wait [was]_sitting in/on/at/with_room and_snapped_them from_under arms_his like_a_thread.
OET (OET-RV) So Delilah took new cords and tied him up with them. She said to him, “The Philistines are here to get you, Shimshon!” with the ambush group staying in the next room. But he flicked them off his arms like they were just thread.

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: like thread
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_took Dilīlāh ropes new and,bound,him in/among=them and=she/it_said to=him/it Pelishtim upon,you Shimshōn and,the,lying_in_wait was_sitting in/on/at/with,room and,snapped,them from=under arms,his like_a,thread )
The point of this comparison is that just as thread breaks easily, so Samson broke these ropes very easily. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [as easily as if they had been thread]
16:1-31 There is nothing of judgeship in this last chapter of Samson’s checkered history. Samson effectively abandoned his calling and was eventually stripped of his gifting as well. Only in his final encounter, when he again turned to the Lord in prayer, did any of his heroic stature revive.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
