Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham te Israel ca rhoek loh koep a koei uh. Te dongah amih te BOEIPA loh kum sawmli khuiah Philisti kut dongah a paek.
2 Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.
Te vaengah Dan koca Zorah hlang pakhat te om tih a ming tah Manoah ni. Tedae a yuu te yaa tih ca cun pawh.
3 And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh a yuu taengah a phoe pah tih, “Na yaa tih ca na cun pawt cakhaw na vawn vetih capa na cun pawn ni he.
4 Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
Te dongah misurtui khaw, yu khaw na ok pawt ham neh rhalawt boeih tah na caak pawt ham te ngaithuen laeh.
5 For you are with child and will give birth to a son; his hair is never to be cut, for the child is to be separate to God from his birth; and he will take up the work of freeing Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
Na vawn vetih capa na cun vaengah thiha loh anih lu dongla pawk boel saeh ne. Bungko khui lamloh camoe te Pathen kah hlangcoelh la om vetih Philisti kut lamkah Israel khang ham khaw anih loh a tong ni,” a ti nah.
6 Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;
Te phoeiah huta cet tih a va taengah, “Pathen kah hlang loh kai taengah halo tih, a mueimae khaw Pathen puencawn kah a mueimae bangla a rhih om tloe. Anih te me lamkah ha pawk khaw ka dawt pawt tih a ming khaw kai taengah thui van pawh.
7 But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.
Tedae kai taengah, 'Na vawn vetih capa na cun ni. Te dongah misur khaw, yu khaw, o boel lamtah a ti a hnai boeih te ca boeh, camoe te bungko khui lamloh a duek hnin duela Pathen kah hlangcoelh la om ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
8 Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.
Te phoeiah Manoah loh BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih, “Aw, Boeipa, Pathen hlang nan tueih te kaimih taengla koep ha pawk dae saeh. Te daengah ni ka cun ham camoe taengah ka saii te kaimih taengah n'thuinuet,” a ti nah.
9 And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
Manoah ol te Pathen loh a yaak dongah Pathen kah puencawn loh Manoah yuu taengla koep a pawk pah. Te vaengah anih te lohma ah om dae a va Manoah te anih taengah om pawh.
10 So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
Te dongah huta te koe yong tih a va taengah a thui pah. Te vaengah hlaemvai ah kai taengla aka pawk hlang te kai taengla tarha phoe,” a ti nah.
11 And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.
Manoah khaw thoo tih a yuu hnukah cet tih hlang te a paan tih kai yuu taengah aka cal hlang te nang a?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
12 And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?
Te vaengah Manoah loh, “Na ol te pai pawn vetih camoe kah laitloeknah neh a bibi ta metlam a om eh?,” a ti nah.
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
Te dongah Manoah te BOEIPA puencawn loh, “Na yuu taengah ka thui te mah boeih tuem saeh.
14 She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.
Misur sulyam lamkah aka thoeng boeih te ca boel saeh, Misurtui khaw, yu khaw o boel saeh, a tihnai boeih tah ca boel saeh, anih ka uen vanbangla boeih tuem saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn te Manoah loh, “Nang uelh mai dae lamtah nang ham maae ca ng'ngawn dae mako,” a ti nah.
16 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.
Tedae Manoah te BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Kai nan hloh cakhaw na buh ka ca mahpawh, tedae BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah na hmoel coeng atah nawn mai,” a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te BOEIPA puencawn ni tila Manoah loh ming pawh.
17 Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?
Te phoeiah Manoah loh BOEIPA puencawn te, “Na olka bangla ha pawk vaengah nang kan thangpom uh ham akhaw na ming ulae?,” a ti nah.
18 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “Ka ming te bahamlae nan dawt, he tah mangvawt ni,” a ti nah.
19 So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
Te daengah Manoah loh maae ca neh khocang te a loh tih BOEIPA ham lungpang dongah a tloeng. Tedae khobaerhambae la a saii ham khaw Manoah neh a yuu loh a hmuh rhoi.
20 And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.
Te vaengah hmaihluei te hmueihtuk lamloh vaan la luei tih hmueihtuk hmaihluei khuiah BOEIPA puencawn khaw luei hang. Manoah neh a yuu loh a hmuh vaengah a maelhmai neh diklai la bakop rhoi.
21 But the angel of the Lord was seen no more by Manoah and his wife. Then it was clear to Manoah that he was the angel of the Lord.
Te phoeiah Manoah taengah khaw Manoah yuu taengah khaw a phoe ham te BOEIPA puencawn loh khoep voel pawh. Te daengah anih te BOEIPA puencawn ni tila Manoah loh a ming.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
Te dongah Manoah loh a yuu taengah, “Pathen m'hmuh tih n'duek rhoe n'duek pawn ni,” a ti nah.
23 But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.
Tedae anih te a yuu loh, “Mamih rhoi ngawn hamla BOEIPA loh ngaih koinih mamih kut lamkah hmueihhlutnah neh khocang te doe pawt vetih he rhoek boeih he mamih rhoi n'tueng mahpawh, a tue khaw tahae kah bangla mamih rhoi taengah n'yaak sak mahpawh,” a ti nah.
24 So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him.
Te dongah a yuu loh camoe a cun tih a ming te Samson a sak. Camoe a rhoeng hang vaengah anih te BOEIPA loh yoe a then sak.
25 And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Anih cahoeh ham te Zorah laklo neh Eshtaol laklo kah Mahanehdan ah BOEIPA Mueihla loh a tong.
