Context
21Basi Wafilisti wakamkamata, wakamngʼoa macho yake, wakamchukua wakamteremsha mpaka Gaza. Wakiwa wamemfunga kwa pingu za shaba, wakamweka ili asage ngano huko gerezani. 22Wakati huo nywele za kichwa chake zikaanza kukua tena baada ya kunyolewa. 23Basi viongozi wa Wafilisti wakakusanyika pamoja ili kutoa kafara kwa mungu wao Dagoni na kufanya karamu, wakisema, “Mungu wetu amemtia adui yetu Samsoni mikononi mwetu.” 24Watu walipomwona Samsoni wakamsifu mungu wao, wakisema:
“Sasa mungu wetu amemtia adui yetu
mikononi mwetu,
yule aliyeharibu nchi yetu
na kuwaua watu wengi miongoni mwetu.” 25Mioyo yao ilipokuwa imefurahishwa wakasema, “Mleteni Samsoni aje acheze ili tufurahi.” Basi wakamleta Samsoni kutoka mle gerezani naye akacheza mbele yao.
Wakamweka kati ya nguzo mbili.
