Samson's Strength
La Fuerza de Sans贸n
Before Samson was born, an angel told his mother that he would be special. He would be a Nazarite, which meant he should never cut his hair. God would give him great strength to save Israel from their enemies. Samson grew up to be the strongest man in the world. He killed a lion with his bare hands. He defeated a thousand enemy soldiers with just the jawbone of a donkey. The Philistines wanted to know the secret of his strength. They sent a woman named Delilah to find out. Delilah asked Samson many times, 'What makes you so strong?' Finally, Samson told her the truth: 'If my hair is cut, I will lose my strength.' While Samson slept, Delilah had someone cut his hair. The Philistines captured Samson and blinded him. But while Samson was in prison, his hair grew back. At a big celebration, the Philistines brought Samson to the temple to mock him. Samson prayed to God for strength one more time. He pushed the pillars of the temple and it collapsed, defeating the Philistines.
Antes de que naciera Sans贸n, un 谩ngel le dijo a su madre que ser铆a especial. Ser铆a nazareo, lo que significaba que nunca deb铆a cortarse el cabello. Dios le dar铆a gran fuerza para salvar a Israel de sus enemigos. Sans贸n creci贸 y se convirti贸 en el hombre m谩s fuerte del mundo. Mat贸 a un le贸n con sus propias manos. Derrot贸 a mil soldados enemigos solo con la quijada de un burro. Los filisteos quer铆an saber el secreto de su fuerza. Enviaron a una mujer llamada Dalila para averiguarlo. Dalila le pregunt贸 a Sans贸n muchas veces: '驴Qu茅 te hace tan fuerte?' Finalmente, Sans贸n le dijo la verdad: 'Si me cortan el cabello, perder茅 mi fuerza.' Mientras Sans贸n dorm铆a, Dalila hizo que alguien le cortara el cabello. Los filisteos capturaron a Sans贸n y lo cegaron. Pero mientras Sans贸n estaba en prisi贸n, su cabello volvi贸 a crecer. En una gran celebraci贸n, los filisteos llevaron a Sans贸n al templo para burlarse de 茅l. Sans贸n or贸 a Dios pidiendo fuerza una vez m谩s. Empuj贸 las columnas del templo y este se derrumb贸, derrotando a los filisteos.
