OET (OET-RV) Then Delilah said to Shimshon, “So far you’ve just been deceitful to me and told me lies. Now Tell me how you can be tied up.”
¶ So he told her, “It’s if you just weave seven locks of my hair into the loom.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אִם תַּאַרְגִ֗י אֶת שֶׁ֛בַע מַחְלְפ֥וֹת רֹאשִׁ֖י עִם הַמַּסָּֽכֶת
if weave DOM seven braids my=head with the,web
Samson is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. It is likely that Samson used the same expression as on the previous two occasions. Alternate translation: [If you weave the seven locks of my head with the warp, then I will weaken and I will be like one of man]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת שֶׁ֛בַע מַחְלְפ֥וֹת רֹאשִׁ֖י
DOM seven braids my=head
Samson is using the word head by association to mean the hair on his head. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the seven locks of my hair]
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
אֶת שֶׁ֛בַע מַחְלְפ֥וֹת רֹאשִׁ֖י
DOM seven braids my=head
See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of why Samson kept his hair long and wore it in seven locks or braids.
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
הַמַּסָּֽכֶת
the,web
A warp is a set of threads running lengthwise on a loom for weaving cloth. If your readers would not be familiar with what a warp is, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [the threads on your loom]
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.
