Bisisu 13
1 Isala: ili dunu da bu Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi. Amaiba: le, E da ilima se iasu. Gode da Filisidini dunu fidibiba: le, ilia da Isala: ili fi ilima ode 40 amoga hinawane esalu.
The Israelites continued to do what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord handed them over to the Philistines to rule them for forty years.
2 Amogalu, dunu ea dio amo Manoua esalu, e da Soula moilai bai bagadega esalu. E da Da: ne fi dunu. Ea uda da mano mae lalewane, aligime esalu.
At that time there was a man named Manoah. He was from the tribe of Dan and lived in the town of Zorah. His wife couldn't conceive and had no children.
3 Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ema misini, amane sia: i, “Di da aligime esalu, be wali di da abula aguni, mano lalelegemu.
The Angel of the Lord appeared to her and told her, “It's true that you couldn't conceive, and have no children, but now you're going to become pregnant and give birth to a son.
4 Dawa: ma! Waini hano, adini amola sema ha: i manu mae moma.
So then please be careful not to drink any wine or other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean.
5 Dia mano lalelegesea, ea dialuma hinabo mae damuma. Eso huluane yolesi dialoma. Bai e da eno dunuma afafane, Gode Ea ilegele momogili gagai Na: salaide dunu esalumu. E da Isala: ili dunuma gaga: su dunu ba: mu. Ilia da Filisidini ouligisu fisili, hahawane laloma: ne, e da hamomu.”
You're going to become pregnant and have a son whose head a razor must never touch, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth. He will start the process of saving Israel from the Philistines.”
6 Amalalu, amo uda da asili, egoa amoma amane sia: i, “Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu da nama misi. E da Gode Ea a: igele dunu, gasa bagade agoane ba: i. E da habidili misi, na da ema hame adole ba: i. Amola e da ea dio amo nama hame adole i.
The woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me. He looked like the Angel of God, really frightening. I didn't ask him where he came from, and he didn't did not tell me his name.
7 Be e da nama agoane olelei. Na da abula agui ba: mu, amola dunu mano lalelegemu. E da nama, na da waini hano amola adini mae moma: ne sia: i, amola sema ha: i manu mae nawane sia: i. Bai amo dunu mano lalelegemu da Godema i mano, e da ea esalebe eso huluane amoga momogili gagai Na: salaide dunu esalumu.”
But he told me, ‘You're going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must not drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, and don't eat anything unclean. For the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth until the day of his death.’”
8 Amalalu, Manoua da Godema sia: ne gadoi, amane, “Hina Gode na da Dima adole ba: sa. Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Di da asunasi, amo ania mano lalelegesea ani da adi hamoma: bela: , amo anima olema: ne, dia hawa: hamosu dunu bu asunasima.”
Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent us return to us to explain what we're supposed to do with the boy who is to be born.”
9 Gode da Manoua ea adole ba: i defele hamoi dagoi. Manoua idua da ifabia ga esalu, amola a: igele dunu da ema misi. Be Manoua da amoga hame lelu.
God responded to Manoah's request, and the Angel of God returned to the woman while she was sitting out in the field. However, her husband Manoah was not with her.
10 Amaiba: le, uda da hehenane, ema amane sia: i, “Ba: la misa! Dunu da gasida nama misi, amo da nama bu misi dagoi.”
So she ran quickly to tell her husband, “Look! The man who appeared to me the other day has come back!”
11 Manoua da wa: legadole, idua asi fa: no bobogei. E da a: igele dunu ema amane sia: i, “Na uda amoma sia: dalu, amo dunu da dila: ?” A: igele da bu adole i, “Ma!”
Manoah got up and went back with his wife, and asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife before?” “Yes I am,” he replied.
12 Amalalu, Manoua da amane sia: i, “Dia sia: i amo didibi ania ba: sea, amo dunu mano da adi hamoma: bela: ? Ea esalebe ahoanusu hou da haboda: i esaloma: bela: ?”
So Manoah said, “May your promise come true! What shall be decided for the boy, and what is to be his vocation?”
13 A: igele da bu adole i, “Dia uda da na sia: i huluane defele hamoma: mu.
“Make sure your wife is careful to follow everything I told her,” the angel of the Lord replied.
14 Waini efe fage ha: i manu liligi huluane mae moma: ne, na da sia: i. E da waini hano amola adini sema ha: i manu maedafa moma: ne, na sia: i. Na sia: i liligi huluanedafa, ea hamoma: ne sia: ma.”
“She must not eat anything that comes from the vine or drink wine or any other alcoholic drink. She must not eat anything unclean. Your wife must follow everything I instructed her to do.”
Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please let us keep you here while we prepare a meal of a young goat for you.”
16 Manoua da amo dunu da Gode Ea a: igele dunu amo hame dawa: i. Amaiba: le, e da ema amane sia: i, “Wahadafa mae masa. Ania da goudi mano dima imunusa: , gobemu.” Be a: igele dunu da bu adole i, “Na da hame ahoasea, dia ha: i manu hame manu. Be di da goudi mano gobemusa: dawa: sea, defea, amo Hina Godema imunusa: gobele salima.”
The angel of the Lord replied, “I'll stay, but I won't eat your food. However, if you prepare a burnt offering, you can present it to the Lord.” (Manoah didn't know he was the angel of the Lord.)
17 Manoua da a: igele dunuma amane sia: i, “Dia dio anima adoma. Bai dia sia: da dafawaneyale ba: sea, ania da dia dio amoma nodomusa: adomu.”
Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name, so when your promise comes true we may honor you?”
18 Be a: igele dunu da bu adole i, “Dia da abuli na dio dawa: musa: hanabela: Na dio da fofogadigisu bagade liligi.”
“Why do you ask this?” the angel of the Lord responded. “My name is beyond comprehension.”
19 Amalalu, Manoua da goudi mano lale, amo amola gagoma gilisili oloda da: iya Hina Godema ima: ne, gobele sali. Amalalu, Manoua amola idua da balalebe lelu, Hina Gode da gasa bagade musa: hame ba: i hou hamoi.
Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and presented them on a rock to the Lord. As Manoah and his wife watched, the LORD did something amazing.
As the flame from the altar blazed up into the sky, the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. Manoah and his wife saw what happened and fell with their faces to the ground.
21 Lalu gona: su da oloda amoga heda: lebe ba: loba, Manoua amola idua da agoane ba: i. Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da lalu gona: su amo ganodini Hebene diasuga heda: lebe ba: i. Amalalu, Manoua da amo dunu da Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu dawa: iou. E amola ea uda da osoboga diasa: ili, ilia odagi da osoboga doaga: i. Ela da amo a: igele dunu bu hame ba: i.
The angel of the Lord did not appear to Manoah or his wife again, and Manoah realized that he was the angel of the Lord.
22 Manoua da iduama amane sia: i, “Ania da dafawane bogomu galebe. Bai ania da Gode ba: i dagoi.”
“We're definitely going to die,” he told his wife, “for we have seen God!”
23 Be ea uda da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da ani medomu hanai ganiaba, E da ania gobele salasu hame lala: loba. Amola E da Ea adoi liligi amola hou anima hame olelela: loba.”
But his wife replied, “If the Lord had wanted to kill us he wouldn't have accepted our burnt offering and grain offering. He wouldn't have shown us all these things, and he wouldn't have come now and announced this to us.”
24 Uda da dunu mano lalelegei. E da ema Sa: masane dio asuli. Amo mano da asigilalu, amola Hina Gode da e hahawane dogolegelewane fidisu.
She gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
25 E da Da: ne ea fifilasu moilai amo ganodini esaloba (amo sogebi da Soula amola Esadoule dogoa dialu) amoga Hina Gode da Ea gasaga ema muni gasa bagade iasu.
The Spirit of the Lord began to prompt him at Mahaneh Dan, a place between Zorah and Eshtaol.
