< Judges 13 >

1 Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
Un Israēla bērni darīja joprojām, kas Tam Kungam nepatika; tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Fīlistu rokā četrdesmit gadus.
2 Now there was a man from Zorah named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, whose wife was barren and had no children.
Un tur bija viens vīrs no Careas, no Dana cilts, un viņa vārds bija Manoūs, un viņa sieva bija neauglīga un nedzemdēja.
3 The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “It is true that you are barren and have no children; but you will conceive and give birth to a son.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis parādījās tai sievai un uz to sacīja: redzi, tu esi neauglīga un neesi dzemdējusi, bet tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu.
4 Now please be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, and not to eat anything unclean.
Tad nu sargies un nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena un neēd nekā, kas nešķīsts.
5 For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. And no razor shall come over his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
Jo redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, kam uz galvu nebūs nākt nekādam dzenamam nazim, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts (nazīrs) no mātes miesām, un viņš sāks Israēli izpestīt no Fīlistu rokas.
6 So the woman went and told her husband, “A man of God came to me. His appearance was like the angel of God, exceedingly awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
Tad tā sieva nāca un runāja uz savu vīru un sacīja: viens Dieva vīrs pie manis atnāca; viņa ģīmis bija kā Dieva eņģeļa ģīmis, ļoti bijājams, un es viņu nevaicāju, no kurienes tas esot, un viņš man arī savu vārdu neteica.
7 But he said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now, therefore, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death.’”
Bet viņš uz mani sacīja: redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, un nu nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena, nedz ēd ko, kas nešķīsts, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts no mātes miesām līdz pat savai nāves dienai.
8 Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.”
Tad Manoūs pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja: Ak Kungs, lai jel tas Dieva vīrs, ko Tu esi sūtījis, atkal pie mums atnāk un mums māca, ko lai ar to bērnu darām, kas piedzims.
9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
Un Dievs paklausīja Manoūs balsi, un tas Dieva eņģelis nāca atkal pie tās sievas; un viņa sēdēja tīrumā, bet Manoūs, viņas vīrs, nebija pie viņas.
10 The woman ran quickly to tell her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has reappeared!”
Tad tā sieva steidzās un skrēja un to pasacīja savam vīram, un uz to sacīja: redzi, tas vīrs man parādījies, kas tai dienā pie manis nāca.
11 So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” “I am,” he said.
Tad Manoūs cēlās un gāja savai sievai pakaļ un nāca pie tā vīra un uz to sacīja: vai tu esi tas vīrs, kas uz to sievu runājis? Un tas sacīja: es tas esmu.
12 Then Manoah asked, “When your words come to pass, what will be the boy’s rule of life and mission?”
Tad Manoūs sacīja: kad nu tas notiks, ko tu sacījis, kāds tikums tad būs tam zēnam un kāds būs viņa darbs?
13 So the angel of the LORD answered Manoah, “Your wife is to do everything I told her.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū: no visa, ko es uz to sievu esmu runājis, viņai būs sargāties.
14 She must not eat anything that comes from the vine, nor drink any wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.”
Viņai nebūs ēst nekā, kas no vīna koka izaug, un viņai nebūs dzert ne vīna, ne stipra dzēriena, nedz ēst, kas nešķīsts, visu, ko es viņai esmu pavēlējis, viņai būs turēt.
15 “Please stay here,” Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “and we will prepare a young goat for you.”
Tad Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: lūdzams, pakavējies un mēs sataisīsim priekš tevis kazlēnu.
16 And the angel of the LORD replied, “Even if I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that it was the angel of the LORD.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū; jebšu tu mani uzkavētu, tomēr es no tavas maizes neēdīšu, bet ja tu gribi dedzināmo upuri pienest, to tu Tam Kungam vari upurēt. Jo Manoūs nezināja, viņu esam Tā Kunga eņģeli.
17 Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes to pass?”
Un Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: kā tavs vārds? Ka tevi varam godāt, kad notiks pēc tava vārda.
18 “Why do you ask my name,” said the angel of the LORD, “since it is beyond comprehension?”
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu tā vaicā pēc Mana Vārda, kas taču ir brīnišķīgs?
19 Then Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered them on a rock to the LORD. And as Manoah and his wife looked on, the LORD did a marvelous thing.
Tad Manoūs ņēma kazlēnu un to ēdamo upuri, un to upurēja Tam Kungam uz tās klints; un viņš darīja brīnumu un Manoūs un viņa sieva skatījās.
20 When the flame went up from the altar to the sky, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell facedown to the ground.
Jo kad liesma no altāra virsas šāvās pret debesi, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uzkāpa altāra liesmā. Un Manoūs un viņa sieva to redzēja un metās pie zemes uz saviem vaigiem.
21 And when the angel of the LORD did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, Manoah realized that it had been the angel of the LORD.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis neparādījās vairs ne Manoūm, nedz viņa sievai. Tad Manoūs atzina, ka tas bija Tā Kunga eņģelis.
22 “We are going to die,” he said to his wife, “for we have seen God!”
Un Manoūs sacīja uz savu sievu: mēs tiešām mirsim, jo mēs esam Dievu redzējuši.
23 But his wife replied, “If the LORD had intended to kill us, He would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things or spoken to us this way.”
Bet viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: kad Tas Kungs mūs gribētu nokaut, tad Viņš to dedzināmo upuri un ēdamo upuri nebūtu pieņēmis no mūsu rokām; Viņš arī visas šīs lietas mums nebūtu parādījis, nedz mums to licis dzirdēt šai laikā.
24 So the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Un tā sieva dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Simsons, un tas zēns uzauga, un Tas Kungs to svētīja.
25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him at Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Un Tā Kunga Gars viņu sāka skubināt Dana lēģerī starp Careu un Estaoli.
