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.
Izraelovi otroci so ponovno počeli zlo v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod jih je za štirideset let izročil v roko Filistejcev.
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.
Tam pa je bil nek mož iz Core, iz družine Danovcev, katerega ime je bilo Manóah. Njegova žena pa je bila jalova in ni rodila.
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.
Gospodov angel se je prikazal ženski in ji rekel: »Glej torej, jalova si in ne rojevaš, toda spočela boš in rodila sina.
4 Now then take care to have no wine or strong drink and to take no unclean thing for food;
Zdaj se torej pazi, prosim te in ne pij ne vina ne močne pijače in ne jej nobene nečiste stvari,
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.
kajti glej, spočela boš in rodila sina in nobena britev ne bo prišla na njegovo glavo, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu in on bo začel Izraela osvobajati iz roke Filistejcev.«
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;
Potem je ženska prišla in svojemu soprogu povedala, rekoč: »Božji mož je prišel k meni in njegovo obličje je bilo podobno obličju Božjega angela, zelo strašno. Toda nisem ga vprašala, od kje je bil niti mi ni povedal svojega imena,
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.
toda rekel mi je: ›Glej, spočela boš in rodila sina. Sedaj ne pij ne vina niti močne pijače, tudi ne jej nobene nečiste stvari, kajti otrok bo od maternice nazirec Bogu do dneva svoje smrti.‹«
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.
Potem je Manóah rotil Gospoda in rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, naj Božji mož, ki si ga poslal, ponovno pride k nama in naju pouči, kaj bova storila otroku, ki bo rojen.«
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.
Bog je prisluhnil Manóahovemu glasu in Božji angel je ponovno prišel k ženski, medtem ko je sedela na polju, toda njen soprog Manóah ni bil z njo.
10 So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.
Ženska je pohitela, stekla in pokazala svojemu soprogu ter mu rekla: »Glej, mož se mi je prikazal, ki je prišel k meni oni dan.«
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.
Manóah je vstal in odšel za svojo ženo in prišel k možu ter mu rekel: » Ali si ti mož, ki govoriš ženski?« Rekel je: »Jaz sem.«
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?
Manóah je rekel: »Sedaj naj se tvoje besede zgodijo. Kako naj določiva otroku in kako mu bova storila?«
13 And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Let the woman take note of what I have said to her.
Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Pred vsem, kar sem rekel ženski, naj se ona pazi.
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.
Ne sme jesti nobene stvari, ki prihaja od vina, niti naj ne pije vina ali močne pijače, niti naj ne jé nobene nečiste stvari; vsega, kar sem ji zapovedal, naj se drži.«
15 And Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Now let us keep you while we make ready a young goat for you.
Manóah je rekel Gospodovemu angelu: »Prosim te, naj te zadrživa, dokler zate ne bova pripravila kozlička.«
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.
Gospodov angel je Manóahu rekel: »Čeprav me zadržiš, ne bom jedel od vajinega kruha. Če pa hočeš darovati žgalno daritev, jo moraš darovati Gospodu.« Kajti Manóah ni vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.
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?
Manóah je Gospodovemu angelu rekel: »Kakšno je tvoje ime, potem ko se izpolnijo tvoje besede, da ti lahko izkaževa čast?«
18 But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?
Gospodov angel mu je rekel: »Zakaj sprašuješ po mojem imenu, glede na to, da je to skrivnost?«
19 So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.
Tako je Manóah vzel kozliča z jedilno daritvijo in ga na skali daroval Gospodu in angel je čudežno storil in Manóah in njegova žena sta to videla.
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.
Kajti pripetilo se je, ko se je plamen iz oltarja povzpel proti nebu, da se je Gospodov angel dvignil v oltarnem plamenu. Manóah in njegova žena sta pogledala na to in padla na svoja obraza k tlom.
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.
Toda Gospodov angel se ni več prikazal Manóahu in njegovi ženi. Potem je Manóah vedel, da je bil to Gospodov angel.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, Death will certainly be our fate, for it is a god whom we have seen.
Manóah je svoji ženi rekel: »Midva bova zagotovo umrla, ker sva videla Boga.«
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.
Toda njegova žena mu je rekla: »Če bi Gospodu ugajalo, da naju ubije, ne bi pri najinih rokah sprejel žgalne daritve in jedilne daritve, niti nama ne bi pokazal vseh teh stvari, niti nama ob tem času ne bi povedal takšnih stvari, kot so te.«
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.
Ženska je rodila sina in njegovo ime imenovala Samson. In otrok je rastel in Gospod ga je blagoslovil.
25 And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
In Gospodov Duh ga je občasno začel spodbujati v Danovem taboru, med Coro in Eštaólom.
