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.
Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kuom higni piero angʼwen.
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.
Ja-Zora moro, ma nyinge Manoa, moa e anywola joka Dan, ne en gi dhako ma migumba kendo nobedo maonge nyathi.
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.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorene mi owacho niya, “In migumba kendo ionge nyathi to ibiro mako ich mi inywol wuowi.
4 Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
Koro kik imadh divai kata gimoro amora mamero ji kendo kik icham chiemo moro amora mogak,
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.
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.”
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;
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.
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.
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.’”
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.
Eka Manoa nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, akwayi, mad iwe ngʼat Nyasaye mane ioro irwa obi kendo opuonjwa kaka wanyalo rito wuowini.”
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.
Nyasaye nowinjo Manoa, kendo malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noduogo ir dhako sa ma ne en e puodho; to Manoa chwore ne ok ni kode.
10 So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
Chi Manoa nodhi piyo monyiso chwore niya, “Ngʼat mane obiro ira cha ni ka!”
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.
Manoa no-aa malo moluwo bangʼ chiege. Kane ochopo ir ngʼatno, nowacho niya, “In e ngʼama nowuoyo kod chiega?” Nodwoke niya, “Ee, en an.”
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?
Omiyo Manoa nopenje niya, “Ka wechegi ochopo kare, to chike mage mabiro rito ngima kod tich wuowini?”
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Chiegi nyaka tim gigo duto ma asenyise.
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.
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.”
15 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
Manoa nowachone malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Dwaher mondo ibed kodwa matin nyaka wayangʼnie nyadiel moro.”
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.
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.
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?
Eka Manoa nonono malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Nyingi ngʼa; mondo mi wabi wamiyi duongʼ ka wachni obedo adiera?”
18 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
Nodwoko niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ipenjo nyinga? En nying modhiero ngʼeyo.”
19 So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kane malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ochako ofwenyore ne Manoa gi chiege, Manoa nofwenyo ni ne en malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
Nowachone chiege niya, “Wabiro tho nikech waseneno Nyasaye gi wangʼwa!”
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.
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.”
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.
Dhakono nonywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Samson. Nodongo kendo Jehova Nyasaye nogwedhe,
25 And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
kendo Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nochako bedo kode ka en Mahane Dan, e kind Zora gi Eshtaol.
