Jongʼad Bura 13

1 Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kuom higni piero angʼwen.

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

2 Ja-Zora moro, ma nyinge Manoa, moa e anywola joka Dan, ne en gi dhako ma migumba kendo nobedo maonge nyathi.

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 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorene mi owacho niya, “In migumba kendo ionge nyathi to ibiro mako ich mi inywol wuowi.

The angel of YHWH 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 Koro kik imadh divai kata gimoro amora mamero ji kendo kik icham chiemo moro amora mogak,

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

5 nikech ibiro mako ich kendo ininywol wuowi. Wembe ok nokal e wiye, nikech wuowino nyaka bed ja-Nazir, mowal ne Nyasaye, koa nywolne, kendo nochak reso jo-Israel oa e lwet jo-Filistia.”

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 Eka dhakono nodhi ir chwore kendo owachone niya, “Ngʼat Nyasaye nobiro ira. Nochalo malaika mar Nyasaye, nolich ahinya. Ne ok apenje kuma ne oaye, kendo kata nyinge ne ok onyisa.

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 To nowachona ni, ‘Ibiro mako ich kendo ininywol wuowi. Omiyo koro, kik imadh divai kata gimoro amora mamero ji kendo kik icham chiemo moro amora mogak, nikech wuowino biro bedo ja-Nazir mar Nyasaye kochakore chiengʼ nywolne nyaka thone.’”

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 Eka Manoa nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, akwayi, mad iwe ngʼat Nyasaye mane ioro irwa obi kendo opuonjwa kaka wanyalo rito wuowini.”

Then Manoah pleaded with YHWH, 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 Nyasaye nowinjo Manoa, kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noduogo ir dhako sa ma ne en e puodho; to Manoa chwore ne ok ni kode.

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 Chi Manoa nodhi piyo monyiso chwore niya, “Ngʼat mane obiro ira cha ni ka!”

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 Manoa no-aa malo moluwo bangʼ chiege. Kane ochopo ir ngʼatno, nowacho niya, “In e ngʼama nowuoyo kod chiega?” Nodwoke niya, “Ee, en an.”

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 Omiyo Manoa nopenje niya, “Ka wechegi ochopo kare, to chike mage mabiro rito ngima kod tich wuowini?”

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

13 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Chiegi nyaka tim gigo duto ma asenyise.

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

14 Ok onego ocham gimoro amora mowuok kuom mzabibu, kata madho divai moro amora kata madho gimoro amora mamero ji kata chamo chiemo moro amora mogak. Nyaka otim gik moko duto masechike.”

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 Manoa nowachone malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Dwaher mondo ibed kodwa matin nyaka wayangʼnie nyadiel moro.”

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

16 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kata bed ni ugengʼona kae, to ok anacham chiembu moro amora. To ka uiko misango miwangʼo pep, to uchiwe ne Jehova Nyasaye.” Manoa ne ok ongʼeyo nine en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.

The angel of YHWH 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 YHWH." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of YHWH.

17 Eka Manoa nonono malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Nyingi ngʼa; mondo mi wabi wamiyi duongʼ ka wachni obedo adiera?”

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

18 Nodwoko niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ipenjo nyinga? En nying modhiero ngʼeyo.”

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

19 Eka Manoa nokawo nyadiel, kaachiel gi chiwo mar cham, mi otimone Jehova Nyasaye misango ewi lwanda. Kendo Jehova Nyasaye notimo gima hono ka Manoa gi chiege neno.

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

20 E sa ma pilni mach ne dhwolore koa e kendo mar misango kochiko polo, malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi malo koluwo pilni mach. Kane gineno ma, Manoa gi chiege nopodho piny auma.

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

21 Kane malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ochako ofwenyore ne Manoa gi chiege, Manoa nofwenyo ni ne en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.

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

22 Nowachone chiege niya, “Wabiro tho nikech waseneno Nyasaye gi wangʼwa!”

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

23 To chiege nodwoko niya, “Ka dipo ni Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi paro mar negowa, to dine ok oyie misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mar cham moa e lwetwa, kata nyisowa gigi duto kata nyisowa masani.”

But his wife said to him, "If YHWH 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 Dhakono nonywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Samson. Nodongo kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe,

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

25 kendo Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nochako bedo kode ka en Mahane Dan, e kind Zora gi Eshtaol.

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