Judges 13
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA hmalah yonnae bout a sak awh. BAWIPA ni kum 40 touh thung Filistinnaw e kut dawk ao sak.
2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and childless.
Hatnavah, Dan miphun, Zorah tami buet touh ao, a min teh Manoah doeh. Ahni teh a carôe, ca tawn roi hoeh.
3 The LORD’s angel appeared to the woman, and said to her, “See now, you are barren and childless; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
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.
4 Now therefore please beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing;
Hatdawkvah, misurtui hoi yamu net laipalah, kâhruetcuet, kathounghoehe banghai cat hanh.
5 for, behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son. No razor shall come on his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb. He shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
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.
6 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. I did not ask him where he was from, neither did he tell me his name;
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.
7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink. Do not eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
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.
8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.”
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.
9 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, was not with her.
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.
10 The woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, saying to him, “Behold, the man who came to me that day has appeared to me.”
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.
11 Manoah arose and followed his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” He said, “I am.”
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.
12 Manoah said, “Now let your words happen. What shall the child’s way of life and mission be?”
Manoah ni na lawk patetlah kuep lawiseh. Camo teh bangtelamaw ao han. Bangmaw a tawk han telah a pacei.
13 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
BAWIPA kalvantami ni, napui koe ka dei e naw pueng hah kahawicalah pouk.
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. Let her observe all that I commanded her.”
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.
15 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “Please stay with us, that we may make a young goat ready for you.”
Manoah ni BAWIPA e kalvantami koevah, pahren lahoi na haw einei, nang hanelah hmaeca ka thet einei telah atipouh.
16 The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Though you detain me, I will not eat your bread. If you will prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that he was the LORD’s angel.
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.
17 Manoah said to the LORD’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?”
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.
18 The LORD’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is incomprehensible?”
BAWIPA e kalvantami ni, bangkongmaw ka min na pacei. Kângairu e doeh atipouh.
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the meal offering, and offered it on the rock to the LORD. Then the angel did an amazing thing as Manoah and his wife watched.
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.
20 For when the flame went up toward the sky from off the altar, the LORD’s angel ascended in the flame of the altar. Manoah and his wife watched; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
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.
21 But the LORD’s angel did not appear to Manoah or to his wife any more. Then Manoah knew that he was the LORD’s angel.
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.
22 Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.”
Manoah ni, a yu koevah, Cathut hmu awh dawkvah, due mingming han doeh toe atipouh.
23 But his wife said to him, “If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, and he would not have shown us all these things, nor would he have told us such things as these at this time.”
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.
24 The woman bore a son and named him Samson. The child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Hahoi teh, napui ni ca tongpa a khe. A min Samson telah a phung. Hote camo a roung teh, BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe.
25 The LORD’s Spirit began to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Zorah hoi Eshtaol rahak e Mahaneh, Dan vah BAWIPA e Muitha hah a tak dawk kâroe hanlah a kamtawng.
