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.
Un Israēla bērni darīja joprojām, kas Tam Kungam nepatika; tad Tas Kungs tos nodeva Fīlistu rokā četrdesmit gadus.
2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, and of the stock of Dan, whose name was Manoah, having a barren wife.
Un tur bija viens vīrs no Careas, no Dana cilts, un viņa vārds bija Manoūs, un viņa sieva bija neauglīga un nedzemdēja.
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.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis parādījās tai sievai un uz to sacīja: redzi, tu esi neauglīga un neesi dzemdējusi, bet tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu.
4 Therefore, take care that you do not drink wine or strong drink. Neither shall you eat anything unclean.
Tad nu sargies un nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena un neēd nekā, kas nešķīsts.
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.”
Jo redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, kam uz galvu nebūs nākt nekādam dzenamam nazim, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts (nazīrs) no mātes miesām, un viņš sāks Israēli izpestīt no Fīlistu rokas.
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.
Tad tā sieva nāca un runāja uz savu vīru un sacīja: viens Dieva vīrs pie manis atnāca; viņa ģīmis bija kā Dieva eņģeļa ģīmis, ļoti bijājams, un es viņu nevaicāju, no kurienes tas esot, un viņš man arī savu vārdu neteica.
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.’”
Bet viņš uz mani sacīja: redzi, tu tapsi grūta un dzemdēsi dēlu, un nu nedzer vīna nedz stipra dzēriena, nedz ēd ko, kas nešķīsts, jo tas puisis būs Dievam svētīts no mātes miesām līdz pat savai nāves dienai.
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.”
Tad Manoūs pielūdza To Kungu un sacīja: Ak Kungs, lai jel tas Dieva vīrs, ko Tu esi sūtījis, atkal pie mums atnāk un mums māca, ko lai ar to bērnu darām, kas piedzims.
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,
Un Dievs paklausīja Manoūs balsi, un tas Dieva eņģelis nāca atkal pie tās sievas; un viņa sēdēja tīrumā, bet Manoūs, viņas vīrs, nebija pie viņas.
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.”
Tad tā sieva steidzās un skrēja un to pasacīja savam vīram, un uz to sacīja: redzi, tas vīrs man parādījies, kas tai dienā pie manis nāca.
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.”
Tad Manoūs cēlās un gāja savai sievai pakaļ un nāca pie tā vīra un uz to sacīja: vai tu esi tas vīrs, kas uz to sievu runājis? Un tas sacīja: es tas esmu.
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?”
Tad Manoūs sacīja: kad nu tas notiks, ko tu sacījis, kāds tikums tad būs tam zēnam un kāds būs viņa darbs?
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.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū: no visa, ko es uz to sievu esmu runājis, viņai būs sargāties.
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.”
Viņai nebūs ēst nekā, kas no vīna koka izaug, un viņai nebūs dzert ne vīna, ne stipra dzēriena, nedz ēst, kas nešķīsts, visu, ko es viņai esmu pavēlējis, viņai būs turēt.
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.”
Tad Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: lūdzams, pakavējies un mēs sataisīsim priekš tevis kazlēnu.
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.
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Manoū; jebšu tu mani uzkavētu, tomēr es no tavas maizes neēdīšu, bet ja tu gribi dedzināmo upuri pienest, to tu Tam Kungam vari upurēt. Jo Manoūs nezināja, viņu esam Tā Kunga eņģeli.
17 And he said to him, “What is your name, so that, if your word is fulfilled, we may honor you?”
Un Manoūs sacīja uz Tā Kunga eņģeli: kā tavs vārds? Ka tevi varam godāt, kad notiks pēc tava vārda.
18 And he answered him, “Why do you ask my name, which is a wonder?”
Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uz viņu sacīja: kāpēc tu tā vaicā pēc Mana Vārda, kas taču ir brīnišķīgs?
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.
Tad Manoūs ņēma kazlēnu un to ēdamo upuri, un to upurēja Tam Kungam uz tās klints; un viņš darīja brīnumu un Manoūs un viņa sieva skatījās.
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.
Jo kad liesma no altāra virsas šāvās pret debesi, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis uzkāpa altāra liesmā. Un Manoūs un viņa sieva to redzēja un metās pie zemes uz saviem vaigiem.
21 And the Angel of the Lord no longer appeared to them. And immediately, Manoah understood him to be an Angel of the Lord.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis neparādījās vairs ne Manoūm, nedz viņa sievai. Tad Manoūs atzina, ka tas bija Tā Kunga eņģelis.
22 And he said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, since we have seen God.”
Un Manoūs sacīja uz savu sievu: mēs tiešām mirsim, jo mēs esam Dievu redzējuši.
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.”
Bet viņa sieva uz viņu sacīja: kad Tas Kungs mūs gribētu nokaut, tad Viņš to dedzināmo upuri un ēdamo upuri nebūtu pieņēmis no mūsu rokām; Viņš arī visas šīs lietas mums nebūtu parādījis, nedz mums to licis dzirdēt šai laikā.
24 And so she bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the boy grew up, and the Lord blessed him.
Un tā sieva dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Simsons, un tas zēns uzauga, un Tas Kungs to svētīja.
25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Un Tā Kunga Gars viņu sāka skubināt Dana lēģerī starp Careu un Estaoli.
