經文: 士師記 16:17 參孫就把心中所藏的都告訴了他，對他說：向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭，因為我自出母胎就歸 神作拿細耳人；若剃了我的頭髮，我的力氣就離開我，我便軟弱像別人一樣。
默想: 參孫理性知道，他從出母腹就歸耶和華作拿細耳人。拿細耳人的一個記號，就是留一頭長髮，完全不剃頭。(民6:2-5) 但是，參孫除了留了滿頭長髮之外，他的生活卻是毫無節制的陷溺在情色與暴力之間，一點也沒有過聖潔的生活。耶和華為了向以色列人施恩，雖然參孫的所謂拿細耳人的約，只剩下那滿頭的長髮，上帝依然賞賜給參孫超自然的體力，好讓他有能力制服非利士人，解救以色列人脫離非利士人的逼迫。那裡知道，參孫在大利拉的誆哄之下，最後終於把自己擁有超然能力的秘密完全告訴大利拉，以致於落得被抓為階下囚，並且被挖了雙眼。我覺得參孫最悲慘的是，大利拉已經三翻兩次出賣參孫，他卻仍舊執迷不誤，一直到大利拉已經將他的頭髮完全剃光了，他還不知道耶和華的靈已經離開了他，還想一展他的超然體力。當我們享受在神的恩典中一段時間之後，我們慢慢的，會自以為我們已經擁有上帝所賞賜的恩典了，產生了恃寵而驕的妄想，忘記了這些恩典都是來自耶和華的賞賜。約伯說的，耶和華賞賜，耶和華收回，耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。求主保守我，會珍惜上帝所賞賜的恩典，忠心服侍，並且小心保守自己，過討神喜悅的生活。
題目: 參孫順從私慾，終至自嚐苦果成為階下囚，至終仍向上主禱告「至高上主啊，求你記念我！上帝啊，懇求再一次賜給我力量，給我一次機會報非利士人挖我雙眼之仇」試想，在嚐盡苦果後，你是為滿足復仇私慾，亦或尋求神心意而向神祈求？
16:1 參孫到了迦薩，在那裡看見一個妓女，就與她親近。
Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a harlot, and he went in to her.
16:2 有人告訴迦薩人說：「參孫到這裡來了！」他們就把他團團圍住，終夜在城門悄悄埋伏，說：「等到夜天亮我們便殺他。」
The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here," and they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, "Let us wait till the light of the morning; then we will kill him."
16:3 參孫睡到半夜，起來，將城門的門扇、門框、門閂，一齊拆下來，扛在肩上，扛到希伯崙前的山頂上。
But Samson lay till midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that is before Hebron.
16:4 後來，參孫在梭烈谷喜愛一個婦人，名叫大利拉。
After this he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Deli'lah.
16:5 非利士人的首領上去見那婦人，對她說：「求你誆哄參孫，探探他因何有這麼大的力氣，我們用何法能勝他，捆綁剋制他。我們就每人給你一千一百舍客勒銀子。」
And the lords of the Philistines came to her and said to her, "Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to subdue him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."
16:6 大利拉對參孫說：「求你告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣，當用何法捆綁剋制你。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Please tell me wherein your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you."
16:7 參孫回答說：「人若用七條未乾的青繩子捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings which have not been dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:8 於是非利士人的首領拿了七條未乾的青繩子來，交給婦人，她就用繩子捆綁參孫。
Then the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
16:9 有人預先埋伏在婦人的內室裡。婦人說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫就掙斷繩子，如掙斷經火的麻線一般。這樣，他力氣的根由人還是不知道。
Now she had men lying in wait in an inner chamber. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the bowstrings, as a string of tow snaps when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.
16:10 大利拉對參孫說：「你欺哄我，向我說謊言。現在求你告訴我當用何法捆綁你。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies; please tell me how you might be bound."
16:11 參孫回答說：「人若用沒有使過的新繩捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
And he said to her, "If they bind me with new ropes that have not been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:12 大利拉就用新繩捆綁他，對他說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」有人預先埋伏在內室裡。參孫將臂上的繩掙斷了，如掙斷一條線一樣。
So Deli'lah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And the men lying in wait were in an inner chamber. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.
16:13 大利拉對參孫說：「你到如今還是欺哄我，向我說謊言。求你告訴我，當用何法捆綁你。」參孫回答說：「你若將我頭上的七條髮綹，與緯線同織就可以了。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies; tell me how you might be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web and make it tight with the pin, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:14 於是大利拉將他的髮綹與緯線同織，用橛子釘住，對他說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫從睡中醒來，將機上的橛子和緯線一齊都拔出來了。
So while he slept, Deli'lah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web. And she made them tight with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.
16:15 大利拉對參孫說：「你既不與我同心，怎麼說你愛我呢？你這三次欺哄我，沒有告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣。」
And she said to him, "How can you say, `I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me wherein your great strength lies."
16:16 大利拉天天用話催逼他，甚至他心裡煩悶要死。
And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death.
16:17 參孫就把心中所藏的都告訴了她，對她說：「向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭，因為我自出母胎就歸 神作拿細耳人；若剃了我的頭髮，我的力氣就離開我，我便軟弱像別人一樣。」
And he told her all his mind, and said to her, "A razor has never come upon my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I be shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:18 大利拉見他把心中所藏的都告訴了她，就打發人到非利士人的首領那裡，對他們說：「他已經把心中所藏的都告訴了我，請你們再上來一次。」於是非利士人的首領手裡拿著銀子，上到婦人那裡。
When Deli'lah saw that he had told her all his mind, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up this once, for he has told me all his mind." Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
16:19 大利拉使參孫枕著她的膝睡覺，叫了一個人來剃除他頭上的七條髮綹。於是大利拉剋制他，他的力氣就離開他了。
She made him sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.
16:20 大利拉說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫從睡中醒來，心裡說：「我要像前幾次出去活動身體」；他卻不知道耶和華已經離開他了。
And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." And he did not know that the LORD had left him.
16:21 非利士人將他拿住，剜了他的眼睛，帶他下到迦薩，用銅鍊拘索他；他就在監裡推磨。
And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze fetters; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
16:22 然而他的頭髮被剃之後，又漸漸長起來了。
But the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
16:23 非利士人的首領聚集，要給他們的神大袞獻大祭，並且歡樂，因為他們說：「我們的神將我們的仇敵參孫交在我們手中了。」
Now the lords of the Philistines gathered to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand."
16:24 眾人看見參孫，就讚美他們的神說：「我們的神將毀壞我們地、殺害我們許多人的仇敵交在我們手中了。」
And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has given our enemy into our hand, the ravager of our country, who has slain many of us."
16:25 他們正宴樂的時候，就說：「叫參孫來，在我們面前戲耍戲耍。」於是將參孫從監裡提出來，他就在眾人面前戲耍。他們使他站在兩柱中間。
And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Call Samson, that he may make sport for us." So they called Samson out of the prison, and he made sport before them. They made him stand between the pillars;
16:26 參孫向拉他手的童子說：「求你讓我摸著托房的柱子，我要靠一靠。」
and Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them."
16:27 那時房內充滿男女，非利士人的眾首領也都在那裡。房的平頂上約有三千男女觀看參孫戲耍。
Now the house was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.
16:28 參孫求告耶和華說：「主耶和華啊，求你眷念我。 神啊，求你賜我這一次的力量，使我在非利士人身上報那剜我雙眼的仇。」
Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be avenged upon the Philistines for one of my two eyes."
16:29 參孫就抱住托房的那兩根柱子：左手抱一根，右手抱一根，
And Samson grasped the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and he leaned his weight upon them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other.
16:30 說：「我情願與非利士人同死！」就盡力屈身，房子倒塌，壓住首領和房內的眾人。這樣，參孫死時所殺的人比活著所殺的還多。
And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." Then he bowed with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain during his life.
16:31 參孫的弟兄和他父的全家都下去取他的屍首，抬上來葬在瑣拉和以實陶中間，在他父瑪挪亞的墳墓裡。參孫作以色列的士師二十年。
Then his brothers and all his family came down and took him and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Esh'ta-ol in the tomb of Mano'ah his father. He had judged Israel twenty years.
Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a harlot, and he went in to her.
16:2 有人告訴迦薩人說：「參孫到這裡來了！」他們就把他團團圍住，終夜在城門悄悄埋伏，說：「等到夜天亮我們便殺他。」
The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here," and they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, "Let us wait till the light of the morning; then we will kill him."
16:3 參孫睡到半夜，起來，將城門的門扇、門框、門閂，一齊拆下來，扛在肩上，扛到希伯崙前的山頂上。

And the lords of the Philistines came to her and said to her, "Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to subdue him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."
16:6 大利拉對參孫說：「求你告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣，當用何法捆綁剋制你。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Please tell me wherein your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you."
16:7 參孫回答說：「人若用七條未乾的青繩子捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings which have not been dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:8 於是非利士人的首領拿了七條未乾的青繩子來，交給婦人，她就用繩子捆綁參孫。
Then the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
16:9 有人預先埋伏在婦人的內室裡。婦人說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫就掙斷繩子，如掙斷經火的麻線一般。這樣，他力氣的根由人還是不知道。

16:11 參孫回答說：「人若用沒有使過的新繩捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
And he said to her, "If they bind me with new ropes that have not been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:12 大利拉就用新繩捆綁他，對他說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」有人預先埋伏在內室裡。參孫將臂上的繩掙斷了，如掙斷一條線一樣。
So Deli'lah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And the men lying in wait were in an inner chamber. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.

So while he slept, Deli'lah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web. And she made them tight with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.

「參孫求告耶和華說：「主耶和華啊，求你眷念我。 神啊，求你賜我這一次的力量，使我在非利士人身上報那剜我雙眼的仇。」（士師記 16:28節）
回覆刪除參孫雖然是上帝所揀選的士師，是拿細耳人，他作以色列的士師二十年。可是他的生活卻處處違反拿細耳人的規矩，生活放任淫亂，體貼肉體，充滿血氣。
參孫頭一次要娶的亭拿女子，誆哄他探知謎語的底細，結果導致悲劇收場。後來他又在迦薩（1～3）與一名妓女行樂，最後被大利拉誆哄，探出更大的秘密，就是能力的來源，引致殺身之禍。參孫意志力受制於肉體情慾，所以過去的失敗，並未喚起他的警覺，反而經常浸淫女色之中。事實上一次又一次，顯示出大利拉與非利士人經常通風報信，為要捉拿參孫，參孫還不離開這個危險的淫婦，果真大利拉的魅力如此厲害？
主啊！是的，世上有很多事物能對我造成極大的致命吸引力，以致阻礙我和上帝的交通；阻礙我去遵從上帝的旨意呢。 求主幫助我，知道自己的弱點在哪裏？好好在上帝面前省察，把這弱點告訴上帝，讓聖靈管理我的心。主保守我，求主為我除去這些成為上帝與我們之間的阻隔，珍惜上帝所賞賜的恩典，忠心服侍，並且小心保守自己，過討上帝喜悅的生活。
