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.

And they repeated [the] people of Israel to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he gave them Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] Philistines forty year[s].

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.

And he was a man one from Zorah from [the] clan of the Danite[s] and name his [was] Manoah and wife his [was] barren and not she had borne children.

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.

And he appeared [the] angel of Yahweh to the woman and he said to her here! please you [are] barren and not you have borne children and you will conceive and you will bear a son.

4 Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;

And therefore take care please and may not you drink wine and strong drink and may not you eat any unclean [thing].

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.

For here you [will be] pregnant and you will bear a son and a razor not it will go up on head his for a Nazirite of God he will be the lad from the womb and he he will begin to deliver Israel from [the] hand of [the] Philistines.

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;

And she went the woman and she said to husband her saying man of God he came to me and appearance his [was] like [the] appearance of angel of God awesome very and not I asked him where? from this [was] he and name his not he told to me.

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.

And he said to me here you [will be] pregnant and you will bear a son and therefore may not you drink - wine and strong drink and may not you eat any uncleanness for a Nazirite of God he will be the lad from the womb until [the] day of death his.

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.

And he prayed Manoah to Yahweh and he said pardon me O Lord [the] man of God whom you sent let him come please again to us so he may teach us what? will we do for the lad who is about to be born.

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.

And he listened God to [the] voice of Manoah and he came [the] angel of God again to the woman and she [was] sitting in the field and Manoah husband her not [was] with her.

10 So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.

And she made haste the woman and she ran and she told to husband her and she said to him here! he has presented himself to me the man who he came on the day to me.

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.

And he arose and he went Manoah after wife his and he came to the man and he said to him ¿ [are] you the man who you spoke to the woman and he said I.

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?

And he said Manoah now it will come words your what? will it be [the] manner of the lad and work his.

13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.

And he said [the] angel of Yahweh to Manoah from all that I said to the woman she will take care.

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.

Any of all that it comes forth from [the] vine of the wine not she will eat and wine and strong drink may not she drink and any uncleanness may not she eat all that I commanded her she will keep.

15 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.

And he said Manoah to [the] angel of Yahweh let us detain please you so we may prepare before you a kid of goats.

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.

And he said [the] angel of Yahweh to Manoah if you will detain me not I will eat in food your and if you will make a burnt offering to Yahweh you will offer up it for not he knew Manoah that [was] [the] angel Yahweh it.

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?

And he said Manoah to [the] angel of Yahweh who? [is] name your if it will come (word your *Q(K)*) and we will honor you.

18 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?

And he said (to him *L(abh)*) [the] angel of Yahweh why? this are you asking to name my and it [is] incomprehensible.

19 So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.

And he took Manoah [the] kid of the goats and the grain offering and he offered [it] up on the rock to Yahweh and an extraordinary thing to do and Manoah and wife his [were] looking.

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.

And it was when went up the flame from on the altar the heavens towards and he went up [the] angel of Yahweh in [the] flame of the altar and Manoah and wife his [were] looking and they fell on faces their [the] ground towards.

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.

And not he repeated again [the] angel of Yahweh to appear to Manoah and to wife his then he knew Manoah that [was] [the] angel of Yahweh it.

22 And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.

And he said Manoah to wife his certainly we will die for God we have seen.

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.

And she said to him wife his if he had desired Yahweh to kill us not he accepted from hand our a burnt offering and a grain offering and not he showed us all these [things] and about this time not he caused to hear us like this.

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.

And she bore the woman a son and she called name his Samson and he grew up the lad and he blessed him Yahweh.

25 And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

And it began [the] spirit of Yahweh to stir him in Mahaneh Dan between Zorah and between Eshtaol.
