Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

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.”

BrLXX Καὶ εἶπε Δαλιδὰ πρὸς Σαμψὼν, ἰδοὺ ἐπλάνησάς με, καὶ ἐλάλησας πρὸς μὲ ψευδῆ· ἀνάγγειλον δή μοι ἐν τίνι δεθήσῃ· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν, ἐὰν ὑφάνῃς τὰς ἑπτὰ σειρὰς τῆς κεφαλῆς μου σὺν τῷ διάσματι, καὶ ἐγκρούσῃς τῷ πασσάλῳ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ ἔσομαι ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀσθενής.
(Kai eipe Dalida pros Sampsōn, idou eplanaʸsas me, kai elalaʸsas pros me pseudaʸ; anangeilon daʸ moi en tini dethaʸsaʸ; kai eipe pros autaʸn, ean hufanaʸs tas hepta seiras taʸs kefalaʸs mou sun tōi diasmati, kai egkrousaʸs tōi passalōi eis ton toiⱪon, kai esomai hōs heis tōn anthrōpōn asthenaʸs. )
BrTr And Dalida said to Sampson, Behold, thou hast deceived me, and told me lies; tell me, I intreat thee, wherewith thou mayest be bound: and he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and shouldest fasten them with the pin into the wall, then shall I be weak as another man.
ULT Then Delilah said to Samson, “Up to now you have deceived me and spoken lies to me. Declare to me in what you may be bound!” So he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the warp.”
UST Then Delilah told Samson, “You made up another story to trick me! Now tell me how someone can really tie you up securely.” Samson replied, “You have a loom here with threads going in one direction. If you weave the seven braids of my hair into those threads in the other direction, as if you were making fabric, then I will have only the strength of an ordinary person.”
BSB Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.” He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom [and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.][fn]”
§
16:13 See LXX and Vulgate; Hebrew does not include and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.

NET Delilah said to Samson, “Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be subdued.” He said to her, “If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the fabric on the loom and secure it with the pin, I will become weak and be like any other man.”
LSV And Delilah says to Samson, “Until now you have played on me, and speak lies to me; declare to me with what you are bound.” And he says to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.”
FBV Delilah said to Samson, “You keep on making me look stupid, telling me these lies! Just tell me what can be used to tie you up!”
¶ “If you were to weave the seven braids of my hair into the web on the loom and tighten it with the pin, I'll become as weak as anyone else,” he told her. So while he was asleep, Delilah took the seven braids of his head, weaving them into the web,
T4T Then Delilah said, “You have deceived me and lied to me again! Please tell me how someone can tie you up securely!” Samson replied, “If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the threads you are weaving on the loom, and then fasten those threads with the pin that makes the threads tight, then I will be as weak as other men.”
¶ So again, while Samson was sleeping on her lap, Delilah held the seven braids of his hair, and wove them into the threads on the loom,

BBE Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

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.

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_of 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_of my=head
See the discussion in the Notes to this chapter of the reason why Samson kept his hair long and wore it in seven locks or braids.
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
עִם־הַמַּסָּֽכֶת
with 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]
