Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah gave them into the hand of the Philistines 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 And there was a certain man of Zoreah, of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and did not bear.
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 the Angel of Jehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, thou art barren and bearest not; but thou shalt 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 And now beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat nothing unclean.
Konsa, fè atansyon pou pa bwè diven, oswa okenn bwason fò, ni manje anyen ki pa pwòp.
5 For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb; and he shall begin to save Israel out of 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 the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I did not ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name.
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 And he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son; and now drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not anything unclean; for the boy shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb to 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 Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah Lord! let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, I pray thee, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall 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 God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of God came again to the woman whilst she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.
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 Then the woman hasted and ran, and informed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me that day.
Konsa, fanm nan te kouri vit di mari li: “Gade byen, nonm ki te vini lòt jou a te parèt devan m.”
11 And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Art thou the man that didst speak to the woman? And he said, 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, When thy words then come to pass, what shall be the child's manner and his doing?
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 Jehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware:
Konsa, nonm Bondye a te di a Manoach: “Kite fanm nan byen okipe tout sa ke m te di li yo.
14 she shall not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither shall she drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean: all that I commanded her shall she observe.
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 Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, and we will make ready a kid of the goats for thee.
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 of Jehovah said to Manoah, Though thou shouldest detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou shalt offer it up to Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the Angel of Jehovah.
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 Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that when thy word cometh to pass we may do thee honour?
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 the Angel of Jehovah said to him, How is it that thou askest after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Men zanj SENYÈ a te di li: “Poukisa ou mande m non mwen, akoz nou wè li depase konnesans?”
19 Then Manoah took the kid and the oblation, and offered it up to Jehovah upon the rock. And he did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
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 it came to pass, as the flame went up from off the altar towards the heavens, that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to 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 Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that it was the Angel of Jehovah.
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 Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Epi Manoach te di a madanm li: “Anverite, n ap mouri, paske nou te wè Bondye.”
23 But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and an oblation at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would he at this time have told us [such things] as these.
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 the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and Jehovah 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 Jehovah began to move him at Mahaneh-Dan, between Zoreah and Eshtaol.
Lespri SENYÈ a te kòmanse vire nan li nan kan Dan nan, antre Tsorea ak Eschthaol.
