Lawkcengkung 13

1 Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA hmalah yonnae bout a sak awh. BAWIPA ni kum 40 touh thung Filistinnaw e kut dawk ao sak.

The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

2 Hatnavah, Dan miphun, Zorah tami buet touh ao, a min teh Manoah doeh. Ahni teh a carôe, ca tawn roi hoeh.

There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and did not bear.

3 BAWIPA ni kalvantami hah napui koe a kamphawng sak teh, ahni koe khenhaw! ca na roe teh, camo na vawn boihoeh. Hatei, camo na vawn vaiteh, capa na khe han atipouh.

The angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, "See now, you are barren, and do not bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.

4 Hatdawkvah, misurtui hoi yamu net laipalah, kâhruetcuet, kathounghoehe banghai cat hanh.

Now therefore please be careful and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing.

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, khenhaw! camo na vawn vaiteh, capa na khe han. A lû dawk lûngawnae na hno mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, camo teh manu von thung hoi Cathut hanelah, Nazirite tami lah ao han. Ahni ni Isarelnaw hah Filistin kut dawk hoi a rungngang han telah atipouh.

For look, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor will come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. And he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."

6 Napui ni a vâ koe vah, Cathut e tami buet touh kai koe a tho teh, a mei teh kalvantami patetlah doeh ao. Bari kaawm poung e lah ao. Hatei, nâ lae tami maw tie ka pacei hoeh. A min hai dei hoeh.

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name,

7 Kai koe khenhaw! camo na vawn vaiteh, capa na khe han. Misur hoi yamu roeroe net hanh. Ka thoung hoeh e hai net hanh. Camo teh manu von thung aonae koehoi a due totouh, Cathut hanlah Nazirite tami lah ao han telah ati.

but he said to me, 'Look, you shall conceive, and bear a son. And now drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death.'"

8 Manoah ni, BAWIPA koevah a ratoum teh, Oe BAWIPA, Cathut e tami na tha e hah kai koe bout tho sak nateh, ka tâcawt hane camo tak dawk bangmaw ka sak han, na patue naseh atipouh.

Then Manoah pleaded with Jehovah, and said, "Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be born."

9 Cathut ni Manoah lawk a thai pouh teh, napui law a tahungnae koe kalvantami teh bout a tho pouh. A vâ Manoah teh haw la awm hoeh.

God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah, her husband, wasn't with her.

10 Hote napui teh, karanglah a yawng teh, a vâ koe a dei pouh. A vâ koe, khenhaw! yampouh ka dei e hah kai koe bout a kamphawng atipouh.

The woman ran quickly, and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."

11 Manoah teh a thaw teh, a yu hnuk a kâbang. Hote tami koe a pha teh, Nang na maw, napui koe lawk na ka dei e vaw atipouh. Ahni ni hai, oe atipouh.

Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" He said, "I am."

12 Manoah ni na lawk patetlah kuep lawiseh. Camo teh bangtelamaw ao han. Bangmaw a tawk han telah a pacei.

Manoah said, "Now let your word happen. How shall the child be raised and what is he to do?"

13 BAWIPA kalvantami ni, napui koe ka dei e naw pueng hah kahawicalah pouk.

The angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

14 Misurkung dawk hoi ka tâcawt e pueng cat mahoeh. Misurtui hoi Yamu net mahoeh. Kathoung hoeh e naw pueng hai banghai cat mahoeh. Kai ni kâ na poe e naw pueng kahawicalah na pâkuem han atipouh.

She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. All that I have commanded her she is to observe."

15 Manoah ni BAWIPA e kalvantami koevah, pahren lahoi na haw einei, nang hanelah hmaeca ka thet einei telah atipouh.

Manoah said to the angel of Jehovah, "Please, stay a bit longer that we may prepare a young goat for you."

16 BAWIPA kalvantami ni, na ka haw nakunghai, nange rawca teh ka cat mahoeh. Hahoi, hmaisawi thuengnae na sak boipawiteh, BAWIPA koe poe loe atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Manoah ni BAWIPA kalvantami doeh tie panuek hoeh.

The angel of Jehovah said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I won't eat of your bread. And if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to Jehovah." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of Jehovah.

17 Manoah ni, BAWIPA e kalvantami koevah, na dei e patetlah akuep torei teh, kai ni na pholen thai nahanelah, na min apimaw telah a pacei.

Manoah said to the angel of Jehovah, "What is your name, that when your words come true we may honor you?"

18 BAWIPA e kalvantami ni, bangkongmaw ka min na pacei. Kângairu e doeh atipouh.

And the angel of Jehovah said to him, "Why do you ask for my name? It is incomprehensible."

19 Hottelah, Manoah ni ca hanelah hmaeca thuengnae dawk hoi a la teh, lungsong van BAWIPA koe a poe. Manoah hoi a yu ni a khet lahun nah, ahni ni kângairu hno a sak pouh.

So Manoah took the young goat and a grain offering, and offered it on the rock to Jehovah, Jehovah who works wonders. And Manoah and his wife looked on.

20 Hatnavah, thuengnae khoungroe dawk hoi hmaito kalvan lah a luen navah, BAWIPA kalvantami teh, hote hmai dawk hoi a luen. Manoah hoi a yu ni hote a hmu roi navah, talai dawk a tabo roi.

For it happened, when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, that the angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

21 Hahoi teh, BAWIPA kalvantami teh, Manoah hoi a yu koe bout kamphawng pouh hoeh toe. Hahoi teh, Manoah ni BAWIPA kalvantami tie hah a panue.

But the angel of Jehovah did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Jehovah.

22 Manoah ni, a yu koevah, Cathut hmu awh dawkvah, due mingming han doeh toe atipouh.

Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God."

23 Hatei, a yu ni, BAWIPA ni thei han na nout pawiteh, hmaisawi thuengnae hoi rawca thuengnae hah maimae kut dawk hoi a dâw han yaw maw, hetnaw hai atuvah na dei pouh mahoeh telah atipouh.

But his wife said to him, "If Jehovah meant to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a grain offering from us, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would he have spoken to us now like this."

24 Hahoi teh, napui ni ca tongpa a khe. A min Samson telah a phung. Hote camo a roung teh, BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe.

The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.

25 Zorah hoi Eshtaol rahak e Mahaneh, Dan vah BAWIPA e Muitha hah a tak dawk kâroe hanlah a kamtawng.

And the Spirit of Jehovah began to direct him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
