Laitloekkung 13

1 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham te Israel ca rhoek loh koep a koei uh. Te dongah amih te BOEIPA loh kum sawmli khuiah Philisti kut dongah a paek.

And the children of Israel yet again committed iniquity before the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Phylistines forty years.

2 Te vaengah Dan koca Zorah hlang pakhat te om tih a ming tah Manoah ni. Tedae a yuu te yaa tih ca cun pawh.

And there was a man of Saraa, of the family of the kindred of Dan, and his name was Manoe, and his wife was barren, and bore not.

3 Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh a yuu taengah a phoe pah tih, “Na yaa tih ca na cun pawt cakhaw na vawn vetih capa na cun pawn ni he.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, thou art barren and hast not born; yet thou shalt conceive a son.

4 Te dongah misurtui khaw, yu khaw na ok pawt ham neh rhalawt boeih tah na caak pawt ham te ngaithuen laeh.

And now be very cautious, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing;

5 Na vawn vetih capa na cun vaengah thiha loh anih lu dongla pawk boel saeh ne. Bungko khui lamloh camoe te Pathen kah hlangcoelh la om vetih Philisti kut lamkah Israel khang ham khaw anih loh a tong ni,” a ti nah.

for behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and there shall come no razor upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Phylistines.

6 Te phoeiah huta cet tih a va taengah, “Pathen kah hlang loh kai taengah halo tih, a mueimae khaw Pathen puencawn kah a mueimae bangla a rhih om tloe. Anih te me lamkah ha pawk khaw ka dawt pawt tih a ming khaw kai taengah thui van pawh.

And the woman went in, and spoke to her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance [was as] of an angel of God, very dreadful; and I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name.

7 Tedae kai taengah, 'Na vawn vetih capa na cun ni. Te dongah misur khaw, yu khaw, o boel lamtah a ti a hnai boeih te ca boeh, camoe te bungko khui lamloh a duek hnin duela Pathen kah hlangcoelh la om ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.

And he said to me, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bring forth a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat no unclean thing; for the child shall be holy to God from the womb until the day of his death.

8 Te phoeiah Manoah loh BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih, “Aw, Boeipa, Pathen hlang nan tueih te kaimih taengla koep ha pawk dae saeh. Te daengah ni ka cun ham camoe taengah ka saii te kaimih taengah n'thuinuet,” a ti nah.

And Manoe prayed to the Lord and said, I pray thee, O Lord my lord, [concerning] the man of God whom thou sentest; let him now come to us once more, and teach us what we shall do to the child about to be born.

9 Manoah ol te Pathen loh a yaak dongah Pathen kah puencawn loh Manoah yuu taengla koep a pawk pah. Te vaengah anih te lohma ah om dae a va Manoah te anih taengah om pawh.

And the Lord heard the voice of Manoe, and the angel of God came yet again to the woman; and she sat in the field, and Manoe her husband was not with her.

10 Te dongah huta te koe yong tih a va taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah hlaemvai ah kai taengla aka pawk hlang te kai taengla tarha phoe,” a ti nah.

And the woman hasted, and ran, and brought word to her husband, and said to him, Behold the man who came in [the other] day to me has appeared to me.

11 Manoah khaw thoo tih a yuu hnukah cet tih hlang te a paan tih kai yuu taengah aka cal hlang te nang a?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.

And Manoe arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that spoke to the woman? and the angel said, I [am].

12 Te vaengah Manoah loh, “Na ol te pai pawn vetih camoe kah laitloeknah neh a bibi ta metlam a om eh?,” a ti nah.

And Manoe said, Now shall [thy] word come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and our dealings with him?

13 Te dongah Manoah te BOEIPA puencawn loh, “Na yuu taengah ka thui te mah boeih tuem saeh.

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, Of all things concerning which I spoke to the woman, she shall beware.

14 Misur sulyam lamkah aka thoeng boeih te ca boel saeh, Misurtui khaw, yu khaw o boel saeh, a tihnai boeih tah ca boel saeh, anih ka uen vanbangla boeih tuem saeh,” a ti nah.

She shall eat of nothing that comes of the vine yielding wine, and let her not drink wine or strong liquor, and let her not eat anything unclean: all things that I have charged her she shall observe.

15 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn te Manoah loh, “Nang uelh mai dae lamtah nang ham maae ca ng'ngawn dae mako,” a ti nah.

And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, Let us detain thee here, and prepare before thee a kid of the goats.

16 Tedae Manoah te BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Kai nan hloh cakhaw na buh ka ca mahpawh, tedae BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah na hmoel coeng atah nawn mai,” a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te BOEIPA puencawn ni tila Manoah loh ming pawh.

And the angel of the Lord said to Manoe, If thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wouldest offer a whole-burnt-offering, to the Lord thou shalt offer it: for Manoe knew not that he [was] an angel of the Lord.

17 Te phoeiah Manoah loh BOEIPA puencawn te, “Na olka bangla ha pawk vaengah nang kan thangpom uh ham akhaw na ming ulae?,” a ti nah.

And Manoe said to the angel of the Lord, What [is] thy name, that [when] thy word shall come to pass, we may glorify thee?

18 Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Ka ming te bahamlae nan dawt, he tah mangvawt ni,” a ti nah.

And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why dost thou thus ask after my name; whereas it is wonderful?

19 Te daengah Manoah loh maae ca neh khocang te a loh tih BOEIPA ham lungpang dongah a tloeng. Tedae khobaerhambae la a saii ham khaw Manoah neh a yuu loh a hmuh rhoi.

And Manoe took a kid of the goats and its meat-offering, and offered it on the rock to the Lord; and [the angel] wrought a distinct work, and Manoe and his wife were looking on.

20 Te vaengah hmaihluei te hmueihtuk lamloh vaan la luei tih hmueihtuk hmaihluei khuiah BOEIPA puencawn khaw luei hang. Manoah neh a yuu loh a hmuh vaengah a maelhmai neh diklai la bakop rhoi.

And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.

21 Te phoeiah Manoah taengah khaw Manoah yuu taengah khaw a phoe ham te BOEIPA puencawn loh khoep voel pawh. Te daengah anih te BOEIPA puencawn ni tila Manoah loh a ming.

And the angel appeared no more to Manoe and to his wife: then Manoe knew that this [was] an angel of the Lord.

22 Te dongah Manoah loh a yuu taengah, “Pathen m'hmuh tih n'duek rhoe n'duek pawn ni,” a ti nah.

And Manoe said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

23 Tedae anih te a yuu loh, “Mamih rhoi ngawn hamla BOEIPA loh ngaih koinih mamih kut lamkah hmueihhlutnah neh khocang te doe pawt vetih he rhoek boeih he mamih rhoi n'tueng mahpawh, a tue khaw tahae kah bangla mamih rhoi taengah n'yaak sak mahpawh,” a ti nah.

But his wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to slay us, he would not have received of our hand a whole-burnt-offering and a meat-offering; and he would not have shewn us all these things, neither would he have caused us to hear all these things

24 Te dongah a yuu loh camoe a cun tih a ming te Samson a sak. Camoe a rhoeng hang vaengah anih te BOEIPA loh yoe a then sak.

And the woman brought forth a son, and she called his name Sampson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.

25 Anih cahoeh ham te Zorah laklo neh Eshtaol laklo kah Mahanehdan ah BOEIPA Mueihla loh a tong.

And the Spirit of the Lord began to go out with him in the camp of Dan, and between Saraa and Esthaol.
