< Judges 13 >

1 And the sons 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.
Nanao haratiañe indraik’ am-piva­zohoa’ Iehovà eo o ana’ Israeleo vaho natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio efa-polo taoñe.
2 And 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.
Teo t’indaty boake Tsorà, fifokoa’ i Dane, natao Manoàke, beitsiterake ty tañanjomba’e, mbe tsy nisamake.
3 And the agent of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou are barren, and do not bear, but thou shall conceive, and bear a son.
Nisodehañe amy rakembay ty anjeli’ Iehovày nanao ty hoe: Toe beitsiterake irehe, mbe tsy nahatoly, f’ie hiareñe hisamak’ ana-dahy.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,
Ie amy zao mitaòa, asoao tsy hikama divay ndra toake, naho ko mikama raha faly.
5 for, lo, thou shall conceive, and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon 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.
Inao, hiaren-drehe naho hisamak’ ana-dahy; le tsy hozàm-pihàratse ty loha’e amy te ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao i ajajay; vaho ie ty hiorotse handrombake Israele hiavotse am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio.
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the agent of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him from where he was, neither did he tell me his name,
Nimb’ amy vali’ey amy zao i rakembay nitalily ty hoe: Nivotrak’ amako ty ondatin’ Añahare, le nanahake ty vintan’ anjelin’ Añahare ty vinta’e, toe nampañeveñe; fa tsy nañontaneako ty nihirifa’e, vaho tsy nitaroñe’e amako ty tahina’e;
7 but he said to me, Behold, thou 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 to the day of his death.
fe hoe re tamako, Inao! hiareñe vaho hisamak’ ana-dahy irehe le ko minon-divay ndra toake henane zao, ndra hihinan-draha faly; fa ho nte-Nazire aman’ Añahare boak’ an-koviñe ao pak’ añ’ andro hihomaha’e i ajajay.
8 Then Manoah entreated Jehovah, and said, Oh, Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou sent come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born.
Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’i Manoàke, nanao ty hoe: Ry Talè, Ampombao mb’ ama’ay mb’ etoa indraike indatin’ Añahare nirahe’oy, hañòha’e ze hanoa’ay amy ajaja hasamakey.
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah, and the agent of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
Hinaon’ Añahare ty fiarañanaña’ i Manoàke, vaho nivotrak’ amy rakembay indraike i anjelin’ Añaharey ie niam­besatse an-teteke ey, fe tsy tama’e i vali’ey.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, who came to me the other day.
Nihitrike ty lay mb’ amy vali’ey mb’eo amy zao i rakembay nanao ty hoe: Ingo fa niheo amako aniany indaty nisodehañe amakoy.
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are thou the man who spoke to the woman? And he said, I am.
Aa le niongake t’i Manoàke nañorike i vali’ey naho niheo mb’ am’ indatiy mb’eo, le nanoa’ ty hoe: Ihe hao indaty nisaontsy amy rakembaiy? Le hoe re, Izaho.
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. What shall be the ordering of the child, and what shall we do to him?
Le hoe t’i Manoake, Ehe te ho tondroke i saontsi’oy. Akore ty andahara’ay i ajajay, vaho ino ty hanoe’ay ama’e?
13 And the agent of Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Manoake, Ee te hilie-batañe amy nita­roñeko iabiy o rakembao,
14 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 commanded her let her observe.
t’ie tsy hikama ndra inoñ’ inoñe boak’ amy vahey, le ko mei’o hinon-divay ndra toake, ndra ty hikama raha faly; hene ampiambeneñe aze o nandiliakoo.
15 And Manoah said to the agent of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.
Le hoe t’i Manoak’ amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ehe’e te hise­bañ’ azo zahay haña­lan­kañe vik’ose.
16 And the agent of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread, and if thou will make ready a burnt offering, thou must offer it to Jehovah. For Manoah did not know that he was the agent of Jehovah.
Aa le tinoi’ i anjeli’ Iehovày t’i Manoàke ami’ty hoe: Ndra te sebañe’o, tsy ho kamaeko o mahakama’oo, fe naho hañenga horoañe, le misoroña am’ Iehovà; amy te tsy napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
17 And Manoah said to the agent of Jehovah, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor?
Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy anjeli’ Iehovày, Ia’ ty tahina’o, hiasia’ay naho tondroke o saontsi’oo?
18 And the agent of Jehovah said to him, Why do thou ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Anjeli’ Iehovày: Ino ty añontanea’o ty añarako, kanao tsikentañe?
19 So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered it upon the rock to Jehovah. And the agent did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on,
Aa le rinambe’ i Manoake ty vik’ ose rekets’ enga-mahakama naho nisoroña’e amy Iehovà am-bato eo, vaho nanoe’ i anjeliy halatsañe am-pisamba’ i Manoàke mirovaly,
20 for it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the agent 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.
amy te, ie nionjomb’ an-dikeram-beo i lel’ afo boak’ amy kitreliiy, le nionjoñe amy lel’ afo boak’ an-kitreliy i anjeli’ Iehovày. Aa ie niisa’ i Manoake mirovaly izay le nibabok’ an-daharañe an-tane.
21 But the agent of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the agent of Jehovah.
Le tsy niboak’ amy Mano­àke naho amy vali’ey ka i anjeli’ Iehovà, fe napota’ i Manoàke t’ie anjeli’ Iehovà.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Le hoe t’i Manoàke amy tañanjomba’ey, Toe hivetrake tika kanao nahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.
23 But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.
Fa hoe ka ty asa’ i vali’ey ama’e: Naho nipay hañoho-doza aman-tika t’Iehovà, tsy ho rinambe’e am-pitàn-tika i soroñey naho i banabanay, naho tsy ho naboa’e amantika, vaho tsy ho tinaro’e aman-tika henaneo i hoe zay.
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.
Nisamak’ ana-dahy i rakembay naho natao’e Simsone ty añara’e. Nitombo’ i ajajay vaho nitahie’ Iehovà.
25 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Namototse nañetsek’ aze betek’ an-kialo’ i Dane añivo’ i Tsorà naho i Estaole ty Arofo’ Iehovà.
