Judges 13
1 And again, the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.
Fis Israël yo ankò te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te livre yo nan men a Filisten yo pandan karant ane.
2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, and of the stock of Dan, whose name was Manoah, having a barren wife.
Te gen yon sèten nonm nan Tsorea nan fanmi Danit yo, ki te rele Manoach. Madanm li te esteril e li pa t janm fè pitit.
3 And an Angel of the Lord appeared to her, and he said: “You are barren and without children. But you shall conceive and bear a son.
Konsa, zanj SENYÈ a te parèt a fanm nan e te di li: “Gade byen, koulye a, ou esteril e ou pa janm fè pitit, men ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis.
4 Therefore, take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. Neither shall you eat anything unclean.
Konsa, fè atansyon pou pa bwè diven, oswa okenn bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp.
5 For you shall conceive and bear a son, whose head no razor shall touch. For he shall be a Nazirite of God, from his infancy and from his mother’s womb. And he shall begin to free Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
Paske, gade byen, ou va vin ansent e bay nesans a yon fis. Nanpwen razwa k ap vini sou tèt li. Paske gason an va yon Nazareyen pou Bondye depi nan vant. Li va kòmanse delivre Israël soti nan men a Filisten yo.”
6 And when she had gone to her husband, she said to him: “A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an Angel, exceedingly terrible. And when I had inquired of him, who he was, and where he was from, and what name he was called, he was not willing to tell me.
Epi fanm nan te vin pale mari li. Li te di: “Yon nonm Bondye te vin kote m; aparans li te tankou aparans a yon zanj Bondye, byen mèvèye. Epi mwen pa t mande li kote li te sòti, ni li pa t di mwen non li.
7 But he responded: ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. And you shall not consume anything unclean. For the boy shall be a Nazirite of God from his infancy, from his mother’s womb, even until the day of his death.’”
Men li te di mwen: ‘Gade byen, ou va vin ansent pou bay nesans a yon fis. Soti koulye a, ou p ap bwè diven ni bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp, paske gason an va yon Nazareyen a Bondye soti nan vant jis rive jou ke li mouri an.’”
8 And so Manoah prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you Lord, that the man of God, whom you sent, may come again, and may teach us what we ought to do about the boy who is to be born.”
Alò, Manoach te priye a SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O SENYÈ, souple kite nonm Bondye ke Ou te voye vin kote nou an ankò pou l kapab enstwi nou kisa pou nou fè pou gason k ap vin fèt la.”
9 And the Lord heeded the prayer of Manoah, and the Angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, sitting in a field. But her husband Manoah was not with her. And when she had seen the Angel,
Bondye te koute vwa a Manoach, epi zanj Bondye a te vini ankò vè fanm nan pandan li te chita nan chan an. Men Manoach, mari li a, pa t avè l.
10 she hurried and ran to her husband. And she reported to him, saying, “Behold, the man appeared to me, whom I had seen before.”
Konsa, fanm nan te kouri vit di mari li: “Gade byen, nonm ki te vini lòt jou a te parèt devan m.”
11 And he rose up and followed his wife. And going to the man, he said to him, “Are you the one who spoke to my wife?” And he responded, “I am.”
Konsa, Manoach te leve swiv fanm li an e lè li te vin kote nonm nan, li te di li: “Èske ou se nonm Bondye ki te pale avèk fanm mwen?” Epi li te di: “Mwen se li”.
12 And Manoah said to him: “When will your word be fulfilled. What do you want the boy to do? Or from what should he keep himself?”
Manoach te di: “Alò, lè pawòl ou yo vin akonpli, kijan de vi ak vokasyon gason sila a va genyen?”
13 And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah: “Concerning all the things about which I have spoken to your wife, she herself should abstain.
Konsa, nonm Bondye a te di a Manoach: “Kite fanm nan byen okipe tout sa ke m te di li yo.
14 And let her eat nothing from the vine. She may not drink wine or strong drink. She may consume nothing unclean. And let her observe and keep what I have instructed to her.”
Li pa dwe manje anyen ki sòti nan chan rezen, ni bwè diven, ni bwason fò, ni manje okenn bagay ki pa pwòp. Kite li swiv tout sa ke m te kòmande yo.”
15 And Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “I beg you to agree to my petition, and to let us prepare a kid from the goats.”
Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Souple, pèmèt nou fè ou fè yon ti reta pou nou kab prepare yon jenn kabrit pou ou.”
16 And the Angel answered him: “Even if you compel me, I will not eat from your bread. But if you are willing to offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord.” And Manoah did not know that he was an Angel of the Lord.
Zanj SENYÈ a te di a Manoach: “Malgre ou fè m fè reta a, mwen p ap manje manje ou. Men si ou prepare yon ofrann brile, alò, ofri li bay SENYÈ a.” Paske Manoach pa t konnen ke li te yon zanj SENYÈ a.
17 And he said to him, “What is your name, so that, if your word is fulfilled, we may honor you?”
Manoach te di a zanj SENYÈ a: “Kòman yo rele ou, dekwa ke lè pawòl ou yo vin rive pou nou kapab onore ou?”
18 And he answered him, “Why do you ask my name, which is a wonder?”
Men zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen, akoz nou wè li depase konnesans?”
19 And so, Manoah took a kid from the goats, and libations, and he placed them upon a rock, as an offering to the Lord, who accomplishes wonders. Then he and his wife watched.
Konsa, Manoach te pran jenn kabrit la avèk ofrann sereyal la pou te ofri li sou wòch SENYÈ a. Epi Li menm, zanj SENYÈ a, te fè mèvèy pandan Manoach avèk madanm li t ap gade.
20 And when the flame of the altar ascended to heaven, the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame. And when Manoah and his wife had seen this, they fell prone on the ground.
Konsa, li te vin rive ke lè flanm nan te monte sou lotèl la vè syèl la, ke zanj SENYÈ a te monte nan flanm lotèl la. Lè Manoach avèk madanm li te wè sa, yo te tonbe atè sou figi yo.
21 And the Angel of the Lord no longer appeared to them. And immediately, Manoah understood him to be an Angel of the Lord.
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a pa t vin parèt a Manoach ni madanm li ankò. Konsa, Manoach te vin konnen ke se te zanj SENYÈ a ke li te ye.
22 And he said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, since we have seen God.”
Epi Manoach te di a madanm li: “Anverite, n ap mouri, paske nou te wè Bondye.”
23 And his wife answered him, “If the Lord wished to kill us, he would not have accepted the holocaust and the libations from our hands. He would not have revealed all these things to us, nor would he have told us the things that are in the future.”
Men madanm li te di li: “Si SENYÈ a te vle touye nou, Li pa t ap aksepte ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal la soti nan men nou, ni Li pa t ap montre nou tout bagay sila yo, ni Li pa t ap kite nou tande tout bagay sa yo konsa nan moman sa a.”
24 And so she bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
Fanm nan te bay nesans a yon fis e li te rele li Samson. Pitit la te vin gran e SENYÈ a te beni li.
25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Lespri SENYÈ a te kòmanse vire nan li nan kan Dan nan, antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol.
