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.
E os filhos d'Israel tornaram a fazer o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, e o Senhor os entregou na mão dos philisteos por quarenta annos.
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.
E havia um homem de Zora, da tribu de Dan, cujo nome era Manué: e sua mulher era esteril, e não paria.
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.
E o anjo do Senhor appareceu a esta mulher, e disse-lhe: Eis que agora és esteril, e nunca tens parido; porém conceberás, e parirás um filho.
4 Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
Agora, pois, guarda-te de que bebas vinho, ou bebida forte, ou comas coisa immunda.
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.
Porque eis que tu conceberás e parirás um filho sobre cuja cabeça não subirá navalha: porquanto o menino será nazireo de Deus desde o ventre: e elle começará a livrar a Israel da mão dos philisteos.
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;
Então a mulher entrou, e fallou a seu marido, dizendo: Um homem de Deus veiu a mim, cuja vista era similhante á vista d'um anjo de Deus, terribilissima: e não lhe perguntei d'onde era, nem elle me disse o seu nome;
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.
Porém disse-me: Eis que tu conceberás e parirás um filho: agora pois não bebas vinho, nem bebida forte, e não comas coisa immunda; porque o menino será nazireo de Deus, desde o ventre até ao dia da sua morte.
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.
Então Manué orou instantemente ao Senhor, e disse: Ah! Senhor meu, rogo-te que o homem de Deus, que enviaste, ainda venha para nós outra vez e nos ensine o que devemos fazer ao menino que ha de nascer.
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.
E Deus ouviu a voz de Manué: e o anjo de Deus veiu outra vez á mulher, e ella estava no campo, porém não estava com ella seu marido Manué.
10 So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
Apressou-se pois a mulher, e correu, e noticiou-o a seu marido, e disse-lhe: Eis que aquelle homem que veiu a mim o outro dia me appareceu.
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.
Então Manué levantou-se, e seguiu a sua mulher, e veiu áquelle homem, e disse-lhe: És tu aquelle homem que fallaste a esta mulher? E disse: Eu sou
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?
Então disse Manué: Cumpram-se as tuas palavras: mas qual será o modo de viver e serviço do menino?
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
E disse o anjo do Senhor a Manué: De tudo quanto eu disse á mulher se guardará ella.
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.
De tudo quanto procede da vide de vinho não comerá, nem vinho nem bebida forte beberá, nem coisa immunda comerá: tudo quanto lhe tenho ordenado guardará.
15 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
Então Manué disse ao anjo do Senhor: Ora deixa que te detenhamos, e te preparemos um cabrito.
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.
Porém o anjo do Senhor disse a Manué: Ainda que me detenhas, não comerei de teu pão; e se fizeres holocausto o offerecerás ao Senhor. Porque não sabia Manué que fosse o anjo do Senhor
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?
E disse Manué ao anjo do Senhor: Qual é o teu nome? para que, quando se cumprir a tua palavra, te honremos.
18 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
E o anjo do Senhor lhe disse: Porque perguntas assim pelo meu nome, visto que é maravilhoso?
19 So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
Então Manué tomou um cabrito e uma offerta de manjares, e os offereceu sobre uma penha ao Senhor: e obrou o anjo maravilhosamente, vendo-o Manué e sua mulher.
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 succedeu que, subindo a chamma do altar para o céu, o anjo do Senhor subiu na chamma do altar: o que vendo Manué e sua mulher, cairam em terra sobre seus rostos.
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.
E nunca mais appareceu o anjo do Senhor a Manué, nem a sua mulher: então conheceu Manué que era o anjo do Senhor.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
E disse Manué a sua mulher: Certamente morreremos, porquanto temos visto a Deus.
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.
Porém sua mulher lhe disse: Se o Senhor nos quizera matar, não acceitaria da nossa mão o holocausto e a offerta de manjares, nem nos mostraria tudo isto, nem nos deixaria ouvir taes coisas n'este tempo.
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.
Depois pariu esta mulher um filho, e chamou o seu nome Sansão: e o menino cresceu, e o Senhor o abençoou.
25 And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
E o espirito do Senhor o começou a impellir de quando em quando para o campo de Dan, entre Zora e Estaol.
