Suci 13
1 Izraelci su opet okrenuli da čine ono što Jahvi nije po volji i Jahve ih predade u ruke Filistejcima za čerdeset godina.
Bvt the children of Israel continued to commit wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord deliuerd them into the handes of the Philistims fourtie yeere.
2 A bijaše neki čovjek iz Sore, od Danova plemena, po imenu Manoah. Žena mu bila nerotkinja i nije imala djece.
Then there was a man in Zorah of the familie of the Danites, named Manoah, whose wife was baren, and bare not.
3 Toj se ženi ukaza Anđeo Jahvin i reče joj: “Ti si neplodna i nisi rađala.
And the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto the woman, and said vnto her, Beholde nowe, thou art baren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne.
4 Ali se odsad pazi: da ne piješ ni vina ni žestoka pića i da ne jedeš ništa nečisto.
And nowe therefore beware that thou drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing.
5 Jer, zatrudnjet ćeš, evo, i rodit ćeš sina. I neka mu britva ne prijeđe po glavi, jer će od majčine utrobe dijete biti Bogu posvećeno - bit će nazirej Božji i on će početi izbavljati Izraela iz ruke Filistejaca.”
For loe, thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne, and no rasor shall come on his head: for the childe shall be a Nazarite vnto God from his birth: and he shall begin to saue Israel out of the handes of the Philistims.
6 Žena ode i kaza mužu: “Božji čovjek došao k meni, lice mu kao u Božjeg anđela, puno dostojanstva. Nisam ga upitala odakle je došao, niti mi on kaza svog imena.
Then the wife came, and tolde her husband, saying, A man of God came vnto me, and the facion of him was like the facion of the Angel of God exceeding feareful, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name,
7 Ali mi je rekao: 'Ti ćeš začeti i roditi sina. Ne pij odsad ni vina ni žestoka pića i ne jedi ništa nečisto jer će ti dijete biti nazirej Božji od majčine utrobe do smrti.'”
But he saide vnto me, Beholde, thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne, and nowe thou shalt drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing: for the childe shalbe a Nazarite to God from his birth to the day of his death.
8 Tada se Manoah pomoli Jahvi i reče: “Molim te, Gospode, neka Božji čovjek koga si jednom poslao dođe još jednom k nama i pouči nas što ćemo činiti s djetetom kad se rodi!”
Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and saide, I pray thee, my Lord, Let the man of God, whome thou sentest, come againe nowe vnto vs, and teach vs what we shall doe vnto the child when he is borne.
9 Jahve usliši Manoaha i Anđeo Jahvin dođe opet k ženi dok je sjedila u polju. Manoah, muž njezin, ne bijaše kraj nje.
And God heard the voyce of Manoah, and the Angel of God came againe vnto the wife, as she sate in the fielde, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
10 Žena brzo otrča da obavijesti muža i reče mu: “Gle, ukazao mi se čovjek koji mi je došao onog dana.”
And the wife made haste and ranne, and shewed her husband and sayde vnto him, Behold, the man hath appeared vnto me, that came vnto me to day.
11 Manoah ustade, pođe za ženom i kada dođe k čovjeku, upita ga: “Jesi li ti onaj što je govorio s ovom ženom?” A on odgovori: “Jesam.”
And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man, and saide vnto him, Art thou the man that spakest vnto the woman? and he said, Yea.
12 “Kada se ispuni ono što si rekao”, opet će Manoah, “po kojim propisima i kako treba postupati s djetetom?”
Then Manoah sayde, Nowe let thy saying come to passe: but howe shall we order the childe and doe vnto him?
13 Anđeo Jahvin odgovori Manoahu: “Neka se žena čuva svega što sam joj zabranio.
And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto Manoah, The woman must beware of all that I said vnto her.
14 Neka ne uživa ništa što dolazi od vinove loze, neka ne pije ni vina ni žestoka pića, neka ne jede ništa nečisto i neka se drži svega što sam joj zapovjedio.”
She may eate of nothing that commeth of the vinetree: she shall not drinke wine nor strong drinke, nor eate any vncleane thing: let her obserue all that I haue commanded her.
15 Tada reče Manoah Anđelu Jahvinu: “Rado bismo te ustavili i pogostili jaretom.”
Manoah then said vnto the Angell of the Lord, I pray thee, let vs reteine thee, vntill we haue made readie a kid for thee.
16 Anđeo Jahvin nato će Manoahu: “Sve da me i ustaviš, ja ne bih jeo tvoga jela; nego ako želiš žrtvovati paljenicu, prinesi je Jahvi.” Manoah, ne znajući da je to Anđeo Jahvin,
And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Manoah, Though thou make me abide, I will not eate of thy bread, and if thou wilt make a burnt offring, offer it vnto the Lord: for Manoah knewe not that it was an Angel of the Lord.
17 reče tada Anđelu Jahvinu: “Kako ti je ime, da te možemo častiti kada se ispuni što si obećao.”
Againe Manoah said vnto the Angell of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to passe, we may honour thee?
18 Anđeo Jahvin odgovori mu: “Zašto pitaš za moje ime? Ono je tajanstveno.”
And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret?
19 Manoah nato uze jare i prinos te ga na stijeni kao paljenicu žrtvova Jahvi koji čini tajanstvene stvari.
Then Manoah tooke a kid with a meate offering, and offered it vpon a stone vnto the Lord: and the Angell did wonderously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on.
20 Kada se poče dizati plamen sa žrtvenika k nebu, podiže se Anđeo Jahvin u tome plamenu. Kad to vidješe Manoah i njegova žena, padoše ničice.
For when the flame came vp toward heauen from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended vp in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife behelde it, and fell on their faces vnto the grounde.
21 Anđeo Jahvin nije se više ukazivao Manoahu i njegovoj ženi. Manoah tada shvati da je to Anđeo Jahvin.
(So the Angel of the Lord did no more appeare vnto Manoah and his wife.) Then Manoah knewe that it was an Angel of the Lord.
22 “Zacijelo ćemo umrijeti”, reče ženi, “jer smo vidjeli Boga.”
And Manoah said vnto his wife, We shall surely dye, because we haue seene God.
23 “Da nas je htio usmrtiti”, odgovori mu žena, “ne bi iz naše ruke primio paljenice ni prinosa i ne bi nam dao da sve to vidimo niti da takvo što čujemo.”
But his wife saide vnto him, If the Lord woulde kill vs, he woulde not haue receiued a burnt offring, and a meate offring of our hands, neither would he haue shewed vs all these things, nor would now haue tolde vs any such.
24 Žena rodi sina i nadjenu mu ime Samson. Dijete odraste i Jahve ga blagoslovi.
And the wife bare a sonne, and called his name Samson: and the childe grewe, and the Lord blessed him.
25 I Jahvin duh bijaše s njim u Danovu taboru, između Sore i Eštaola.
And the Spirite of the Lord beganne to strengthen him in the host of Dan, betweene Zorah, and Eshtaol.
